Recruiting.


ca The Governor Of New Jersey has IS
lnsd prOSlsmaiion urging the people 70
adm raising lhs quota Of that State BY
volunteering. BE thinks The required
number can be secured in that way in
thirty days, and The necessity FOR q draft
avoided. @
sas The New York World says OF least a
hundred day are enlisting in that city,
& making nearly regiment . week, and
that Il is believed when the city and State
ars credited with the large number of vol
unieers they have sent to the war, that the
quots required under the last call viii be
much less than has heretofore been made
the basis Of the draft.


The Journal Of Commerce puts the NUM-
Der Of volunteers that are now joining The
various military organizations in New
York city at over fifty daily, aYerring
that before the riot the number was as
high as five hundred week. Most Of the
recruits are veterans OF the two years
class. The Journal says "it is the unsni-
nous opinion Of the recruiting officers and
Of military men, that if the Government
win give the city a chance to fill her quota
BY volunteering, she VIII send from 1900
to 5000 men weekly to the rendezvous.


However WeE-founded these opinions
may be, it is certain thst the Government
of5cisls who have the matter in charge
are going steadily forward in perfecting
their arrangements sOr the draft and it is
not likely that public e1igenoies will per

or considerable portion Of it, can be
raised by volunteering, it will be ell the

The radical platform on the negro question
as announced by Rev II. w. Beecher at 4
meeting held in his church on Sunday nigh,
in behalf of the National Freemap's Assoca
tiop. Mr.. Beccher said that first, the Asso
citation did not propose analgamation, that
fact being off nsive to the tastes Of tho North
foreign to its habits, and in uo way agreeable
to its desires. AT the North it has never been
believed 10 as a system; at the South, on {! e
contrary, it is a custom of established and
practical habit; a habit of which the
Southerners may always have the monopoly.


Second. The Association does not propose
to thrust the freed negro into the market a:
a competitor with the workmen Of the North
The negro would not be suited with the North
nor the North with the negro. Once let lib
erty be established at the South, and the
North will be whittier than ever.


Third, 1t does not propose to admit the
negro to political fellowship. Wo deny our
children that privilege until they are twenty
one, and make {, reigrers undergo probation
The negro is not Al exception, for he is child
ish and ignorant and must not enjoy the right
until he is fit for it, and the people wish him
to enjoy it.

We have probably all of US met with in
stances, in which a word heedlessly spoken
against the reputation of female, has been
magniied by malicious minds until the cloud
has become dark enough TO overshadOw her
whole existence. To those who are accas-
tomed-not necessarily from bad motives,
but from though1essness-to speak lightly
OF females, We recommend these hints,as wor-
thy of consideration


Never use la3y's name in an improper
place, at an improper time, or in mixed COM
pany-


Never make an assertion about her that
you know TO be untrue, or allusions that you
feel she herself would blush to hear.


When You meet men who do not seruple
to make use of woman's name in reckless
and unprineipled manner, shun them, for
they are the very worst members of the COM
munity-men lost to every sense OF honor
every feeling of humanity.


Many good and worthy woman's charac-
ter has been forever ruined and her heart
broken by lie, manufactured by some VII
lain, and repeated where it should not have
been, and IN the presence of those whose lit
tie Judgment could not deter them from cir
culating the foul and Dragging report.


The SANDER is soon propsgated, and the
smallest thing deroga,ory to the character of
woman viii fly on the wings of the wind
and magnify as ii circulates, until Its mon
trous weight crushes the poor unfortunate
victim.


Respect the name of woman, for your
mother and sisters are women; and as YOU
would nave their fair names uniarnish-d, anu
their lives unembittered by the slanderer's
biting tongue, heed the Ill that your own
tongue may bring on the mother, the sister,
or the vile of some fellow creature.
