THE DRAFT.-It is learned from Colonel
Brown, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal
General for Maryland and Delaware, that
unless there is evidenced more spirit in
filling the quotas under the late call of the
President, he will be compelled to give or
ders to enforce the draft in such sub-ds-
tricts as are backward in the city, as well
as in the State. During the past few days
there has not been the same degree of ex-
ertion made as previously, and the city's
quota is not half filed. In all about 900
men have been put in service. The draft
will probably take place next Tuesday or

THE DRAFT IN THE Sd ELECTION DISTRICT.-A
correspondent informs us that the draft associa-
ton of the 3D., district, is in complete working
order. A tax of $50. was laid upon all persons
liable to draft and contributions solicited from
those who were not. That estimabe lady, Mrs.
Geo. Brown, headed the list with donation Of
$500, while many others likewise gave liberal
amounts. In this way district Bounty fund
of $40 900 was raised, which will pay each vol
unteer credited to the district, about S75. in adj
dition to State, county and Government bounties.
Col Brown A. A. P. NJ G., kindly permitted
them to open recruiting office for the district,
in Baltimore city, where they are enlistng men
at the rate of about five day. At this rate their
quota will soon be filled, and we congratulate our
neighbors on their early prospect Of being ''out
of the Draft" Had the citizens Of the 9th dist dis
played as much energy and concern in the mat
ter, we might likewise be rejoicing in the hope of
speedy relief from the working of Gen. Fry
draft wheels.
In addition to the SIS district Bounty, the Cd
district pays the county Bounty cash. The on
ly draw back in recruiting is the unsettled con-
dtion of the State bounty Unless the law is at
once amended, so as to pay at least part of the
bounty in hand, it might almost as well not
have been adopted.
Our correspondent also states that the Farmers
are already making preparations for an early
opening of Spring. Hot beds are being put in
order, and it is expected that there will be an I'M
usually large crop of vegetables raised this sea-
son. Success to the Sd, district We say in all
its undertakings If "onions or oil' is the cues
ton, we decidedly go for the onions. They taste
better and smell no worse.

'her soil amilitary camp-strip her 10 the waist ;
sshe will not shrink, but give her her gauntlets
"and her sword and she is ready to stand or
s'fall where she is.
We call that decidedly "heavy." 1t rings in
the ears like Chinese gong in six-story hotel.
1t calls to mind that valorous people, who four
years ago, talked about trailing the flag of their
country Through sea of blood" and "dying
in the last ditch to achieve their independence.
1t reminds US of the time when the same chival-
rio nation set out to give the world new defni-
ton of heroism, by throwing score Of Thermop-
ylae passes into one. How the nations stood
aghast at the mighty things which were to be-
But read The same oracle, speaking few
days later says-"Owing to military combina-
tions in this department, the Mercury viii sus-
pend publication for the time. 1t will be re-
sumed at such time and place as circumstances
may justify"
"Was lions rage SO fierce.
Was ever gentle lamb so mild ?''
We suppose nobody gave the Mercury "her
gauntets and her sword and therefore she did

was no ditch convenient in which to die or may

peculiar tactics of the South Carolina chivary.

DRAFT IN THE 9TH, Election DIsTRIcr.-The
citizens of the 9th district interested in the draft
held several public meetingsfor the purpose of
devising means to fiji their quota. A tax of
$25 was laid on each man liable to draft, and
most of this money was collected. On Saturday
last however, at public meeting held at Mr..
Wilhelm's, it was decided not to make any
further effort to fill the quota owing to objec-
tons made by some Of the citizens, and all the
money that had been collected was paid back -
mutual exemption club was organized, with
an admission fee of $50.
1t is another happy illustration of Gen. Fry's
arithmetic, that the present quota of the 9Th,
district is "a men, while under the previous call
of 800 900, it was only 80. There seems to be
but one rule in the new arithmetic and that is
inverse proportion.
