IMPORTANT ERoM MICHIGAN.
Serious Resistance to tho Conscrip-
ticn Poles and Germans in arms.
LFrom the Detroit Tribune, of Monday ]

[From the Detroit Tribune, Of Monday !
The drafted men in Huron county,
Michigan have resisted the provost marsh.
MS officers. The Poles and Gelmans in
the town OF Paris and yincinity, to the
tho number of rs 10 100 have banded TO-
gsihcr with arms TO resist The operations
OF the laws. &. b. CouereH. special pro-
vost MARSHAL of Huron county, statcs that
ON Monday evening of last week, in COM
pany with Joseph W, Maxim, Saeriii or
the county, be started from Sand Beacn
for Paris TO arrest several drafted men who
had failed to report. When about eleven
miles out they stopped at n country tav-
ern in Sanilac county, intending to take
an early start in the morning. AT this
place the officers were recognized, and
the friends OF the drafted men we. @ II ! in
formed during the night of lhe intended
visit. The sheriff and marshal proceeded
on their journey early in the morning,
but found the whole country aroused.
They succeeded however, in arges.ing
Two drafted men, one German and The
other a Pole, who lived alone in the
woods. The men gave themselves up
willingly bads farewell to their friends,
and we're placed in sleigh, and started
for the lake shore. After proceeding
about four miles on the country road two
Poles with shot guns were met IA the
officers passed, the latter fired signal shots,
and u short distance beyond, twenty-fNe
men, armed with rifles and doubled-Jar-
relied shot guns. were ionnd drawn up
by tho ro ID side. A parley ensued. The
belligCrants demanded tbs release of the
prisoners, at the same time bringing their
lire arms 10 ready" The situation was
decidedly unpleased for the officers. The
latter tried TO reason the case; but reason
and argument were useless. The sheriff
then started his horse and tried to drive
on. In moment dozen rifles were lev
elled at his team, and he was told that ir
another movement was made his horse
would be shot in their tracks. The off
GERS held brief consultation, and finally
thought discretion the better part OF vGlor,
fo making ayi tue OF necessity they WELD
ed up the prisohers. Their troubles did not
end here. After surrendering the prison
ers, they bad proceeded but few rods
when they were ti;ed upon One bullet
whlsIled by the head, grazing the hair Of
the provost marshal. Another bali pass
cd through the oyerceat Of the sheriff, in
unpleasant proximity TO his shoulder.
Another voiley passed over their heads.
Three volleya were fired in al. Tie es-
cape Of the officers from instant death is
wonderful. Mr.. Cottelell arrested
drafted man in this section few weeks
since. and vas cha.ed thirteen miles, hut
inally escaped with his prisoner.
A company OF soldiers will probsbly
soon be sent TO This rebellous district.

Justice At Last

1t affords US real pleasure to announce
the fact that Provost Martial Campbell
ha, ordered the Commissioner and Sur
geon OF .he Enrichment Board of the l9h
District 10 meet in this place on the Goth,
9th, and 2Sth inst, Tor the purpose of
correcting the enrolment lists of this
county. We insert the order at length
in another column; without orders, or
charge determined that information of
so mich importance to so many Demo
Gratis Of this county shall not be kept
from them because we failed to pocket
few greenbacks,
In thanking Cnpt, Campbell,-as We
sincerely do-for making this order, we
must lie permitted to say that it is an act
Of Justice that has been very long delay
ed. We do not charge that the fault is
his. For ought we know, he may be en-
tirely innocent and blameless. But we
appeal to every unprejudicad man, or set
Of men, whether the people OF this coun
ty have not been dealt with extreme
harshness, as compared to other counties
in the district, in almost every thing con-
nected with the Draft When the frat
draft was made they were required TO re-
port at " sterford, in Erie county, impos-
ing upon them an overland trip Of from
l40 to $50 miles. or by railroad nearly
400 miles thromyL n'.iS. ms was alien
ded with great hardship, and heavy ex-
penditure of time and money When the
next draft was ordered, petition, in re;-
pectSul language, and numerously signed
was sent to Capt, Campbell, asking him
10 hold the sessions Of the Board within
the county, This favor was not granted
why, we never ascertaned But the
Board did hold its session in Brookyille.
This was some better, aud neasurably ST.
lenced complaint. However, If Il drafted
man presented himself there with u vubsti-
tute he was not accepted and iLe priuci-
pal discharged, until be delivered him at
Such are among the causes Of complaint,
whether groundless or not we arc not pre-.
pared to say. But they had no good eiT- .
ecL And among the reasons assigned for [
this scrt oftrea'ment was that the state .
OF feeling here was such that the Board .
Of Enrolment would not be safe, &c. We
hope no one seriously entertained any
such belief. There never was a time that
the Board, or any member OF it, would .
have been in the slightest danger in any
part of this county. They would have
been just as sale here as ip any other part .
of the district.
However, the determination OF the !
Beard 10 hold session here will 70 far .
towards removing whatever feeling may
have heretofore existed on this subject. |
1t will afford our people better opportu.
nifty, and at less cost, 10 have justice done
them, than they have ever yet had and
the officers Of the Board will 10 COnvln-
ced that the vile stories told about the
charcter and disposition Of the people,
were infamous lies. Our counlys quota
is much larger than il should be, owing
to the,very laacls above referred 10. Bat
now, when the opportunity is given to
have all mistakes corrected, and to have
even handed justice meeted out to us, we
confidently believe that much better
feeling will be the result.

Tng QuorA The Pennsylvania quota
commissioners have returned from Wash
inglon. They report that the State quota
will be reduced. The former assignment
was up to Nov. Both, but the new one will
be up TO Dec. 3Oth. A special TO the Buk
leun says: "All the credits of different
States will be added 10 the total number
cf men wanted and then divided proper
tionally." This seems to be a queer why
of lessening the quota, Tor the moie cred
its there are the greater will be the num-
Der called. This arrangement" contn-
ues the same paper will give greater
number Of men 10 the Government"
There is no doubt of that, but it is eyidcut
that under such an 'arrsr cement" cred
its are not the best thing 10 have. Says
that pa7er also: I'm the last assignment
all naval enlistments were credited io-
one year But now those enlisted for an
unsettled term will lie considered for
three years. 1t was also stated that de-
serlers after being mustered, will still lie
credited"

PEACE = How happy would we feel if,
in writing this lovely word, we could feel
that its blessings were likely to visit our
land. But Notwithstanding the rumors,
in which some people seem inclined to
found hope, we have not the slightest
faith. +. p. Blair is certainly in Richmond
SO also is Gen. Singleton, peace Demo
crat Of Illinois. The Washington cores
pondent of the New York World asserts
positively that they both went with the
appreciation of Mr. Lincoln, and gives the
terms which they have his authori-
iy for Offering to the South. Shese terms
embrace free aud full pardon to all often
ders. In consideration for which they
must surrender their arms, submit to the
laws, and abandon slavery.
Now, If there was any power a. Rich.
mond to abolish slavery, there might be-
some hope o! these terms being accented
and consequently, of peace. But AS the
South seeded for the reason that thew
objected to the exercise of such power o.
yer the STATES by the Washington Govern.
ment, ii is not reasonable 10 sUpposeahat
they will now aba2don the very prinoiple
they havc scHered so much to maintain.
II would he sclfcordemnation such rs the
world never before W! messed.
Should such conditions be offered them
in good faith, and in rejecting them should
they say that all other conditions are sat.
i'tactory, thon the question will be plain
ly presented 10 the people of the North
whether va prefer peace aud Union, or
war and Abolition.
There are rumors that this effort for
peace on the part of Lincoln is urged bv
information from France and England
that they intend to recognize Mr.. Lincoln
only as President OF the States that took
part IN TIE late election. This would be
virtual recognition Of the Southern Con.
iieeoeracy and if there is any truth in
Ihese reports Mr.. Seward cannot be too
qul OK IN Offering the most liberal terms
slavery or no slavery.
