The Rad Elects OF EnIiating Bounty

Jumpers"
It is fact that bounty-jumping is one
of the regular professions of the country,
as much 50 as gambling, pOcket-picking or
burglary. We commented q few days
since on the bad results flowing from the
manner in which quotas are raised by
many townships and wards, whose sole
anxiety is to be freed from tie draft, no
matter what the stuff that is enlisted. In
illustration of our view, we clip the fol-
lowing from correspondence of the New
York Times. Let every man read and
make his own comments on this ruinous
system
Here is the record of one single regiment
among those that hav3 come to my notice {:
Of three detachments of substitutes sent
from Concord, N. A., to join the Fifth
New Hampshire Volunteers, amounting
TO 625 men, l37 deserted on the passage,
leaEingonly 4ss to arrive at the regiment.
OF the 4ss who got to the regiment and
we're assigned 10 companies, 50 deserted to
the enemy from picket line; S6 deserted
to the rear; have been discharged
as utterly worthless = their physical
incapacity being so glaring, and of
such long standing, that they must
have been known at the time of enlistment;
have been sent back to Concord to have
their cases of enlistment investigated. by
order of the War Department; and have
been discharged by order of the War De
partment Thus, out of 625 of these boun-
ty-tempted warriors sent to one regiment
only since August last there are only 359
left; and, as these have come TO the army
through the same vensl influences, and
probsbly5gone through the same loose or
fraudulent examination, it is impossible to
tell how many more may follow suit, in
spite of the death penalty before them.
use the term fraudulent sdvisedly; for, out
of the four discharged as utterly worthless,
one man has one leg several inches shorter
than the other; cne had hernia, that had
made him 8 cripple for many years past ;
and the two Others were such imprscticable
imbeciles, that any imbecile, without one
particle Of medical knowledge, must have
seen at a glance that they were utterly in
capable of any duty whatever, mental or
physical. These are shameful revelations,
but the sooner the public are made ac-
qusiRted with the existence of such mon
strous abuses, the sooner do we stand q
chance of seeing them rectifed.

lily active. Black doeskins are in demand

is little inquiry for foreign goods, but stocks

more Pronress in KentueIsx.

We have recorded, from time to time,
with great satisfaction, the progress of the
emancipation spirit in Kentucky. Gov
Bramlette has given us another opportu-
nifty to chronicle its march. In his annual
message he says slavery is dead; that
property in slaves has been destroyed by
the rebellion. He therefore recommends
some amendment to the laws of Kentucky
by which shareholders viii be permitted tc
emancipate their slaves in such manner
that the system of slave labor will not be
suddenly broken up. Long suffering from
guerrillas has at length made Kentucky
wise.
