I'm conscripted, Smith, conscripted-
Ebbs the subterfuges fast,
And the sub-enrolling Marshals
Gather with the evening blast
Let thine arms, Oh Smith, support me;
Hush your CAB and close your ear,
Ccnscrpt- grabbers close upon you,
Hunting for yoa-tar and near.
Though my SCARED, rheuw watic "trotters"
Bear me limping short no more,
And my shattered constitution
Won't exempt me as before;
Though the Provost Guard surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
must to the front to perish,
Die the great conscripted still.
Let not the seizer's servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low

Whisky stra b~ht out struck the blow.
Here, then, pillow on thy bosom,
Ere be s hurried quite away,
Him who drunk with bust. head whisky,
Madly threw himself away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assai me as / roam,
Seek my noble squaw Octavia,
Weeping in her widowed home.
Seek her, say the guards have got me
Under their protecting wings,
Going to make me Join the army,
Where the shell aud minnie sings.
Pm conscripted, Smith, consc rpted-
HaTzl you hear that Grabber's cry 81.
Run, old Smith, my boy, they'll catch you,
Take you to the front to die.
Fare thee well, go to battle.
There to die, decay and swell,
Lockhatt and Dick Taylor guard thee,
Sweet Octavia-Smith !-fmewell.

NEW ESGLAND AND THE DEBT.- Boston
Traveller says that of the interest due January
1st, on the public debt, payable in Boston, there
has already been paid out 81 100000 in gold,
l7part of the payments having been anticipated,
and there yet remains several hundred thousand
dollars to be paid. This represents not far from
$40. 90 900 600 of the national debit by far the
largest part of which is held in Boston, and the
remainder in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,

on the war and making fortunes out of it, but
not for you or the great million. No, your bus

the bird invest their millions in interest bearing
bonds payable in gold coin and exempt from tax

The Marysyille Appeal, an intensely abolition
sheet says that the assassins o. PRESIDENT LIN

hand to bring this war to a fitting close. WE
have heard aboitionists charge democrats win
some sympathy in the act but never before
heard the Deity accused of having hand in the

in impressing this idea upon Gen. Mcdowell it
may induce him to issue another order making
the Deity either principal or an accessory af-
ter the fact.-Oregon Arena.
Rightly construed the language of the Ap-
peal is an endorsement of the assassination. 1t
is indirect sympathy for the deed, and the wri-
ter, whoever he is, could be punished, if prose-
cuted under Gen. McDowell's late order. The
Appeal has no right to sympathize with the as
sassinaton, over Gods shoulders, and if a
rebel in this department should cloak his SYM
pathies for the deed under such guise, he would
be arrested and punished for it no Doubt

army, to the effect that every part of the
Southern country will support their armies
by a judicious system of foraging. More
animals are lost to your department while
standing idle, hitched to their wagons,
than during the long and seemingly hard
marches into the interior" Gen. Neies
adds that, during Shermans remarkable
march bis cavalry and train found album
dance of forage aud remounts; and Chief
Quartermaste. and Brevet Brig. General
Eaton, reports from Savannah that the
transportation is even in better condi-
ton than when the march commenced
better than he had ever before seen. No
horses or mules are required from NORTH
ern departments to refit this army after a
march of nearly 500 miles through hos

Recruiting I'm Rebel States.

The dispatches say that Gov. ANDREW
early sent recruiting agents to Savannah,
to raise troops for the Massachusetts qoota,
by special permission of the Secretary of
War; and we are enabled to state, on the
authority of a Minnesotian ct Vicksburg,
that Massachusetts, agents are also in that
city, busily engaged in gobbling up all the
stray negroes that come into our lines, for
the same object. The provision of the
amended CONSUMPTION bill which author
ICES this mode of filing quotas should be
Immediately repealed. 1t was put in as q
concession to Massachusetts, for the abro-
cation of the money exemption clause,
and its effect has been to relieve the peo-
pie of that State almost entirely from per-
sonal service in the field, and to greatly
deteriorate the character of our armies.
It is not this element alone that Aassa-
chusetts has freely used to swell her con-
ributions, but she has demoralized some
of her best regiments by an infusion OF
foreign scum, to the infinite disgust of our
best Generals and soldiers.

Col. Fry Explains-.-Excesse 10 b,
-I. Credited.


Col. JAMES B. FRYs remarkable orders
cannot be explained by any Of the ordi-
nary methods of reasoning. Each one is
more blind than its predecessor, and not
unfrequently the orders explanatory make
an understanding of the original utterly
impossible. But it is not so with the fol-
lowing, received by Col. AvKRlLL yesterday
from Col Fry: -
Circular No. I, 1865, was made to prevent the
reduction of the quota after it has been deter.
mined. by claims for credit for men not raised.
The rule Is to apply the credit to the call that
produces them. If the quota under the call
for 900 is more than filed, the excess in
years of service Is carried forward and credited
on the the call for 300, 600, and the quotas re-
,duced accordingly before they are assigned.
This Is done here in assigning quotas to Dis
trcts and the same rule applies to Sub Districts,
and you will go instruct your Provost Marshals,
II they do not already so understand it Hence
the Circular announces "that the quotas as
signed are not to be reduced except etc." The
CT0OlL9 UT W 10 COuolOcICu Ou ulhAluk tu6 AZ
signment, and when that is done, are only to
be further reduced by actual enlitments since
the date of the last call. . ...A
The above makes it tolerably clear that
towns in excess under the last 500, 900
call will be credited for the same on the
pending call, Notwithstanding Col. Fry, in
his order of the I'd of January said:
The quotas assigned under the call
of December -, 1864, for 300, 900 men, must
not be reduced except by actual eslistpeUts in
the army, navy and marine corps since tie 19M
xltimo. -s.. ... IN. .g
There was general outburst of indig-
nation at the terms of the above all over
the country, which has had the effect of
bringing out an explanation.

On Sunday last Fort Fisher was subject
ed to another heavy naval bombardment,
and subsequently carried by desperate
assault of the land forces under Gen. Al
FRED d. TERRY, with a loss to the rebels
of 1900 prisoners, including Gen. VIII
TING and Col LAMB, and 70 cannon. By
this gallant achievement the harbor and
port of Wilmington are sealed against the
rebels, and the capture of Wilmington
itself placed beyond question.
This is not only severe blow to the
Rebels, but it is crusher to BEN. BUTLER
and his crazy adherents. So long as. Fort
Fisher was not taken, old BEN. had some
ground to stand on in his controversy with
the President and Gen. GRANT, in regard
to his removal. But it has now been TAX
en- from under him. Official documents
show that when he marched up to the
Fort after the first bombardment, the gar
rison only awaited an assault to surrender
without resistance and could not imagine
why the attack had been abandoned. For
his conduct on this occasion, q correspon.
dentsays naval officer whose name is IA
miliar in every household in the land, de-
nounced him as "either black-hearted
traitor or an arrant coward" Another,
equally well known, said: "He forced
himself into the expedition, and believe
he came down with the deliberate pm. pose
of defeating the enterprise. He was deter
mined to have his own way, and seeing that
he could not, was bent on thwarting every
thing" The result of the second attack, not
withstanding the rebels had time to per-
feet their defences, shows the naval esti-
mate of BUTIER was not unjust. General
GRANT took this view of the matter and
ordered his removal, whereupon the
beast had the impudence, in his farewell
order, to tell his troops-"I have refused
to order the useless sacrifice of the lives of
such soldiers, and am relieved from your
command which was doubtless intended
as palpable thrust at the Lieutenant Gen.
eral, and may have had some influence on
the mind of the latter in determining that
the work should be done, and in the Sc
lection of the man to do it. ~
The assault on Fort McAllister, the
charge on the rebel works at Nashville,
and the storming of Fort Fisher, afford
evidence that four years of war have given
us veterans, officers and men, who have
the nerve to stand in any "deadly breach. A."
They will be entitled, when the war is
over, to honors equalling those bestowed
by England on the "forlorn hope Of
Badajoz and of Gudad Roderigo.
