Mr. Stanton, in his despatch announcing the
fall Of Charleston, very properly adnonishes N
to "hasten on recruiting to Ill up the Asmy, and

tion will be earnestly responded to.
We learn that the draft win be enforced to-
day in the'four districts surrounding this city
namely, the First, Second, Third and Tenth dis
tricts, which include Kings, Queens and Suffolk
counties, on Long Island, and Richmond county.

tropolis. Still we believe that the draft may
be avoided here. Our Supervisors committee
continue to be 80 successful In obtaining re-
cruits that Il may be deemed inexpedient 70

quired to purchase substitutes is in . great
measure paid by the committee, thus relieving
those liable TO draft from the heaviest part Of
the pecuniary burden Under all these circum-
stances is it necessary to state that the duty
and the interest Of every citizen, especially
those liable to be drafted, is to furnish substt-
