TEE NEW ENROLMENT,

There is much solicituds in the community
to ascertain if the new enrolment will be
made the basis OF new assignment of quota
for the District. We understand that the en- =.
rollment lately made will be used in coniunc-
ton with the old to form from the two a per-
feet list, or one as near that as possible. This
perfected list ill be used in the coming draft,
and by its aid the requisite number of accept
ed men will be obtained without resort to the
tedious series OF drawings, as heretofore.
Whether or not there will be O new assign
ment of quota on this new enrichment will
depend, we apprehend, upon the point " neither
the assignment shall be reopened elsewhere for
readJustment. The claim OF the District for a
new assignment OH the ground of defective
enrolment would then be considered in con-
nection with similar claims from other parts
Of the country.
1t may be that the late reduction in the
assignment for this District was intended to
cover approximately any defects in the pre-
yious enrolment.

SHERMAN'5 MOVEMENTS

From late Richmond papers it seems certain
that Sherman has forced the rebels to evacuate
Branchville; and as they admit that all tele-
graph communication has been cut off with
Charleston, there is no doubt that Sherman has
possession of all the ain lines of access to that
city. That some portion of his army cavalry
is operating in the direction Of Augusta is not
unlikely; and quite likely, too, he is threaten.
ing Columbia, but probably the movements
upon those points are feints to cover his real
purpQse.

FAILURE TO TAKE THE OATH-A SCHOOL
TEACHER BEFORE THE CRIMINAL COURT.
On the 4th of September last-the day the
new Constitution, so-called, went into effect,
the magnates of Jefferson county felt il in
cumbent upon them TO manifest becoming
zeal for their wrongs. Their zeal was un-
doubleday intensified by the consideration
that they represented the home of Governor
Fletcher, and many Of them allied in more
WAYS than one with that champion of uncOn-
stitutionaI liberty. A young gentleman by
the name of Eugene Gold;ag was visiting
in the family of Mr.. Spaulding, worthy
citizen who resides but a short distance from
llillsboro, the county seat of Governor
Fletchcr's county. We are informed that
this young gentleman, while enjoying the
hospitalities of Mr.. Spaulding, was reckless
enough 10 devote a portion of his time TO
imparting some instruction in the rudiments
of knowledge to the young members of his
friends family, without having first taken
the oath of eNpurgation-it never
having entered his mind that he was
violating the law of a republican
State by teaching little children how
TO spell and pronounce our language,
any more than il entered the mind of Cali
leo that he was violating mandate of the
Church when he insisted that the work.
turned round Whereupon, early on the
morning Of the 4th of September, Just two
hours after the new constitutions called
went into effect, the brother Of Governor
Fletcher, armed with what he regarded as a
process of the law, came charging up 10 the
residence Of Mr.. Spaulding, and dragged Mr..
Golding into the august presence ola Justice
Of the Peace, who was probably about as
well informed on the subject of constitu-
tional law as the original Dogberry men
toned by Shakespeare. Mr.. GoldiEg was
bound over by this Dogberry to await the
action of the Grand jury, in November.
The Grand Jury met, and being composed
of the retaiuers, strikers and satellites of the
Fletcher family they found an indictment
against him without the least hesitation.
Mr.. Golding ut onoS made application TO
the court for change Of venue. which was
granted, and the case sent TO st. Louis
county, where he expects to be tried by a
jury of honest men, a thing which could
hardly happen in Hillsboro as long as it
rests under the shadow Of the Fletcher
dynasty.
He has employed Alex. Martin, Esq, TO
conduct his defense. Ii being the first in
stance Of a teacher being prosecuted in this
county, for failing to take the oath, the case
is one of interest and importance.-S. LOUIS
Republican.
