From The Providence Journal.

The manner OF enlistment for the United
States volunteer army in response to the call
OF the President and the red-tape requirements

Of the state Militia do not enlist, forcibly bring
To mind the manner OF enlistment upon the re-

story. Fort Sumter was fired on on April ~. and

He found a deal Of excitement there. The conn

President. and the men were putting down their
names. or course. there were some who could
not go or who did not want To go. and finding
one Of these he offered 10 take his place. Tho
offer was accepted and he put his name down.
Then he started out 10 get his breakfast, but
to his surprise. he found guard at the door
who would allow no to pass without tho
countersign. He procured the COuntcrSign--
