Disability of the hand.

--Brig. Gen. A. A. Buckingham writes from Washington to a gentleman in Pottsville, Pa., as follows:

‘ "In reply to yours of the 14th inst., relative to persons who have presented themselves for exemption from draft, with the forefinger taken off at the first joint, I am directed to say that the loss of the first joint of the forefinger will not exempt a person from draft if he can fight."
