re to be separated from white conscripts by Provost Marshal, and consolidated into the nearest negro regiments or companies being organized in the several States. Instructions to this effect have been sent to the officials of Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Negro conscripts in Pennsylvania are to be rendezvoused at Philadelphia, in the camp commanded by Col. Wagoner; in Ohio, at Camp Delaware; in Rhode Island, at the camp of the first company negro heavy artillery; in Maryland and Delaware, at Rhode Island, at the camp of the first company negro heavy artillery; in Maryland and Delaware, at Washington. Negro troops from New York, it is thought, will be rendezvoused at Washington. The Boston Transcript says: Some of the substitutes who were placed in Brinley Hall, Worcester, for safe keeping, attempted to escape by digging a hole through the wall of the building, but their operations were discovered and frustrated, and yesterday the whole lot, seventy in-number, were sent to Long Island, in Boston harbor. A part of them are said to be New York roughs. Six substitu

ounty, Mo., would take place at Palmyra, at 2 P. M. Monday, "for the purpose of endorsing the action of the State Convention at its late meeting, and sustaining the Provisional Government of Missouri." The St. Louis Republican, of the 3d, says: The terms of this call are very explicit. Those who approved of the objects of the meeting, and "none others," were invited to be present, and this, doubtless, with a view to prevent any disturbance. But the radical and Jacobinical element at Hannibal were not willing that things should pass in this way, and accordingly we learn that the Hannibal and Palmyre train left the former city at 12½ o'clock, Monday, conveying about 500 persons to Palmyrs. Of this number over 300 were employees of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Company — all of them radicals — and pretty well armed with revolvers, &c., showing conclusively that they went there to break up the meeting. The speaking was to commence at two P. M., and of what transpired

Brinley Hall, Worcester, for safe keeping, attempted to escape by digging a hole through the wall of the building, but their operations were discovered and frustrated, and yesterday the whole lot, seventy in-number, were sent to Long Island, in Boston harbor. A part of them are said to be New York roughs. Six substitutes who escaped from Taunton on Saturday have been recaptured. One of the slippery fellows was a substitute broker. On Saturday a meeting was held in Hackensack, in Bergen county, N. J., at which a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted denouncing the conscription act as "unjust, unconstitutional, and slavish in its provision," and that they will throw themselves upon the courts for "protection against the wrongs and outrages which the Government seeks to inflict," and failing redress there they intend to "resist with all the moans that has placed, in our power any attempted infringement of our rights and privileges as freemen in a free country, dete
Fort Lee (New Jersey, United States) (search for this): article 6
a powerful battery on Skiddaway Island. The first fortification on Savannah river is Carnston's Bluff battery, which rather being situated on St. Augustine creek commands also Wilmington river. This battery mounts twelve guns, two 33 pounders, two 10 inch Columbiads, two 10 inch mortars, and the remainder are small pieces. Next in order comes Fort Jackson, mounting ten guns, opposite which, in the Savannah river, are obstructions, consisting of piles, old hulks, and torpedoes Next is Fort Lee, ten guns; then Fort Boggs, six guns; and finally Fort Lawton, situated on Hutchinson Island, and mounting eight guns. All these batteries, with the exception of Fort Beggs, bear directly on the obstructions. Around the southeastern part of the city is a large breastwork, the product of slave labor, which, mounted with guns of various calibre, forms the immediate defence of the city. The ram Georgia, square-built and mounting fourteen guns, six each side and one each fore and art, is

s "a day's shooting" there. He is the same blatherskite that wrote that the first engagement of the monitors, in which the Keokuk was sunk, was a reconnaissance, which admirably accomplished the results it was intended for. He says: The next distinctive object that came to view as we approached was the grim walls of Sumter, from the summit of which an occasional puff of white smoke was observed, indicating that she was taking a hand in the battle which was raging on the shores of Morris's Island, fully two miles distant from the fortress. From the summit of the fort the new rebel flag was soon distinguishable, with its white field and red union, and white cross of stars across the face of the red portion of the flag. Similar flags were discovered at Moultrie, at the Beach Inlet battery, and at other minor fortifications farther up in the harbor; whilst from the rear of Sumter, occupying a less prominent position, the Palmetto flag floated, which is always raised during a figh
Skidaway Island (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 6
defending the Savannah and Wilmington river approaches to the city are as follows: On Wilmington river the rebels have but one battery — Thunderbolt battery, mounting fourteen guns, and distant from Savannah five miles; opposite this battery obstructions have been sunk. At Buenaventura, a mile above Thunderbolt, and the commencement of the shell road leading to the city, there is a small fortification, but of little strength. The rebels some time since evacuated a powerful battery on Skiddaway Island. The first fortification on Savannah river is Carnston's Bluff battery, which rather being situated on St. Augustine creek commands also Wilmington river. This battery mounts twelve guns, two 33 pounders, two 10 inch Columbiads, two 10 inch mortars, and the remainder are small pieces.

ut of five brothers were drawn, and in the first ward it fell to the lot of a considerable number of the Quartermaster's clerks and others in that department to be called to another branch of the service. To morrow (Tuesday) the draft for the third and fourth wards or sub districts will take place, commencing as 9 o'clock A. M. at the same place. The draft in the North--what it will amount to — Plenty of money but no soldiers. The draft is but the merest farce in some of the New England districts. For example, in the 4th (Boston) district, the whole number examined last week was 1,135, of whom 937 were exempted, 70 paid $360, which makes 1,007 that got clear, 108 offered substitutes, and ten were passed as fit for duty. Thus less than one in a hundred of the original conscripts go into the army. It will take a great many soldiers of the regular army to watch the conscripts.
