ELKTON, ND, Jan. 2S.-A large barn
on the peach farm near st. Augustine
on Bohemia Manor, in the second district
of Cecil county, was burned last evening
with its contents. The farm Is owned by
J ohn j. Williams. The live stock, com.
prising z head Of horses, ~ COWS and Is
hogs, was burned to death. All the
provender was destroyed, as well as some
agricultural implements and harness. The
farm Is tenanted by James b. Spear, who
discovered the fire too late to re-
lease the stock from the burning build
ing. Some sheds were also burned. The
dwelling and granery caught FIRE several
times, but were saved. The origin Of the
hre Is unknown. but incendiarism Is sus-
pected, as this is the third Ere that has
occurred in that vicinity in the last ten
days. The building and stock are be-
lieved to be insured In the Farmers and
Mechanics Fire Insurance Companies Of
Cecil county.
The farm Of the late John w. Enguer,
in the Fourth district of Cecil county,
consisting of ninetY.six acres OF land,

Senator Gray's Reply to South Halter.
In the United States Senate yesterday
the consideration Of the resolution in
relation to the alleged maltreatment OF
Henry Y. FAM, at Aberdeen, Miss, was
resumed, and speeches were made by
Senators George, Spooner, Gray and
others. Mr.. Gray in course Of his speech
remarked that no greater compliment
could have been paid TO the clear and
able argument of the Senator from
Mississippi than the fact that the Sena
/ tor from Wisconsin had evaded the issue
rendered by the Senator from Mississippi
and had replied to it only In an
eloquent diatribe. The hanging Of a high
official in efiigy. while thing to be con
demned most severely, was not so unpre-
cedented an outrage, Mr.. Gray said, a.
the senator had described it, and he re
ferred to the fact that quite recent,

dgy ia the state # Indians. alter = Ion.

the President called for 300, 900 more
volunteers for the war, and by the
terms of the order these were to be
drafted if they did not volunteer
promptly. Aug. 8 following President
Lincoln asked for an additional 300, 900
men for nine months, with a like pro-
viso for compulsory enlistment if nee
essary. Several orders were issued by
the Secretary Of War to prevent the
evasion of military duty under this
call, but volunteering was so generally
stimulated by local pride and local
bounties at the time that there was
very little enforced enlistment neces-
sary. Probably up to Feb. l, 1868, there
were not 10, 200 drafted men in the
army. In view OF the fact that a large
part of the volunteer force would soon
be disbanded because Of the expiration
Of their terms Of service, early in 1868
there was brought forward in Congress
an enrolment and CONSUMPTION act,
authorizing the President to recruit
the army, when necessary, by drafting
from the able-bodied male citizens OF
the country between the ages of 20 and
As. This measure met with consider
able objection, but finally became a
law March 3. Under this law the Pres
ident appointed a Provost Marshal
General, whose office should be in
| Washington, and the entire country
was divided into districts, with a
Provost Marshal over each. These
were to make an enrolment of all the
able-bodied men of the proper age in
! each district. June Is call was made
for 100000 men under the conscrip-
ton act. In the majority of instances
the machinery of the draft was not
put in force, as evory effort was made
to encourage volunteering. It is esti-
mated that in the twelve States in
which it was enforced the draft had
resulted by Dec. l, 1868, in adding
about. 80, 900 men to the army. 1t also
accumulated by that time a fund of
$40, SIS. 900, derived from @commuta-
%tions," for any drafted man was al
lowed to buy exemption from SER
vice by paying $500. This fund was
used for bounties to the volunteer sol
diers. Oct. Is, 1868, 300, 900 more
volunteers were called for, and it was
ordered that if any State failed to raise
the quota assigned to it under this call.
a draft would be made to fill the de.
ticiency, beginning Jan, 5, 1864. This
call was generally filled by volunteers
but, as the need of the service for more
men continued imperative, 200, 600
more were called for Feb 4, 1864, and
