Shutting Up the Provost
Marshal's Offices.

One by one the Provost Marshals Of
fees are being shut up. Soon these de-
tested institutions will be numbered
among the horrors which have passed
away. The shoulder-straps will be
stripped from officials who have worn
them for years without having faced an
enemy in battle; and a multitude of
clerks and attaches, numbering, it is
said, not less than 10000 in the loyal
States alone, will be turned away from
the public crib and compelled to seek
an honest livelihood, or to starve. Poor
wretches, what a come down it will be
for many of them! They have strutted
brief hour, bloated with self-conceit,
full ofself importance, and often insolent
and over bearing in their manners. How
will they ever manage to get down to or
dinary life again ? Down they must
come though. The days Of detested
conscription are at length over. Poor
men need trembe no longer for fear they
will be dragged by force from their
homes wives will rejoice to know that
their husbands are at last "out Of the
draft" and children no longer dread the
turning of the "fated wheel We
hope this country may never see Pro
vost Marsha's Office opened in it again.
In any ordinary war conscription never
need be resorted to among our people.
Those Of the North and the South will
be alike ready to defend the interests
aud honor Of the nation.
Many have been the strange scenes
witnessed about the Provost Marshal
Offices. There has been brutality and
harshnes5 about most Of them, corrup.
ton and fraud about no. few of them
/ They have been m2rtS in which men
have openly trafioed in the lives of hu'
nan beings. We have seen a drunken
beast Of a father who had already sold
one son as a substitute to satisfy the
cravin: for strong drink, ready to per
iura himself in regard to the age o
another, an ungrown boy, whom he ha'
bribol to leave home, in spite OF th'
tears and protestation of a cart,broSeI
mother The miserable wretch wa
very eager to effect a sale. The fac
that the son he had sold before he ha
died of disease contracted in camp coul
move him, the tears Of his wretcho
wife could not influence him. Th
boys life was worth money, and he wa
willing to sell him, soul aud body. ]
is perfectly safe to say, that the yarlou

we found the information correct. The

would throw the oil clear across the tank
which is ten feet wide--then subside in,

about half an hour, aud from measuring
the oil in the tank, aud timing the stream
our opinion is that it was then yielding

began to yield oil, and at II o'clock,

lected their candidates, l presume it is
in order for citizens 10 specify the par,'
ticular choice they may have made, and
recommend that choice TO the voters Of

heard you were a candidate, for the Of.
fee of Sheriff; aud We sincerely say,
there is no man, for whom, more vii
lingIy, would the stronghold" cast her
vote.
Should such report prove correct, you
may count with certainly on the vote Of

of the Districts mentioned. Wishing
you all success, we ask you to accept the
