BUT FEW ARE LEFT
TO ANSWER ROLL CALL
Not Many OF The Persons Whose
Names Are Contained in The List
OF Those Drafted For War Service
In November, 1862. Are Living.

The following article, which was
clipped from one of the local papers
of 1887, will recall to the descend
ants Of these men who were called
upon Tor their services in defense OF
the National government, the nor
rors of those days, as they have
heard them described by their pa
rents and grandparents. The call
was not for border duty, not TO po-
lice the boundaries OF the country,
but to go forth to battle with a gal
liant foe, to give their time, their
service and even their very lives 10
maintain the union of this country
AS these perilouS times are recalled, ]
is it any wonder that the people OF
the entire country are unanimous in
their prayer, God Give Us Peace?'
The article follows:
Justice T. p. Nov bray. o. New
Market, this week ietL VIII us the
following record of the draft OF No
yember 9th, 1862. These were the
darkest days of the rebellion-the
days when the boom of cannon
struck terror to the heart OF the
braVeSt, and the ruthless hand of
war laid desolate the happy homes
of peace-loving people; when every
hamlet and village sent forth its
brave men, whose blood was destin-
ed to stain the mountain torrent, and
whose bones were to Whiten in the
summer sun of Southern battlefields.
The old men of the day can look over
these names and recall many that
died on the field of battle, whilst the
young may wish, deep down in their
hearts, that those who make wars
shall fight the battles:
According to previous notice, the
draft took place in this county to-
day, commencing at l 5 minutes Of
