, and others had left when the enrollment was made, or soon after. It is a pretty clean sweep when all but one hundred from a county respond to the call of the Provost Marshal. The draft in the 30th district commences to-day at Buffalo, and will continue daily till Saturday, the 15th, under Provost Marshal Scroggs. The fort has been put in readiness for the reception of the officers and the transaction of the necessary business of the draft. A detachment of four hundred soldiers from Elmira will be present to support the authorities if necessary. It is stated that the draft in Ohio will take place in a few days; preparations are being perfected for it at Columbus. Detailed squads from the Ohio regiments, to take charge of the drafted men, are arriving. The draft in the West, the Milwaukie Wisconsin remarks, has very properly been deferred in order to enable the Western farmers to ingather their prolific harvest, and also because the surrender of Vicksburg diminishes

The draft will come along some time in August, or perhaps not until the 1st of September. It is desirable to reinforce our armies early in the autumn, as Gra

All of them show more and more plainly that the United States treasury and not the U. S. army is to be benefited by the conscription. We make some extracts from Northern papers of the 7th, which are interesting. Referring to the draft in Washington county, N. Y., the Troy Times says: The drafting for Washington county has been completed. Something over $25,000 has been realized from the payment of commutations. The number of conscripts secured for service does not exceed over twenty five or thirty. All but about one hundred of the persons drafted have reported to the Provost Marshal. The exemptions under the law are so numerous that a large percentage of the drafted — considerably more than one-half--get off free. Probably of the one hundred who have not reported but very few can now be fo

vious to taking them to Harrisburg. On Friday news was brought to town that a body of armed men, numbering sixty, were on their way to rescue the prisoners — threatening to burn the town if necessary. The circulation of this news created consternation, and spread like wild fire, until some country boys came to town with their trusty rifles. In the meantime the prisoners were sent off to Harrisburg, by way of Lewiston, as the mob had threatened to waylay the guard between this place and Selinsgrove, if foiled in the attempt in town. The mob came within half a mile of town, when they learned that the prisoners were gone, upon which they turned back as they came. Samuel S. Lambert, who was charged with the business of notifying the drafted men of Kingfield, Mass, gives a full and explicit statement, in the Farmington Chronicle, of what occurred at Kingfield on his arrival there.

various points, much excited. When he arrived at the tavern he heard the cry, "That's him," "that's him," and he was soon surrounded by a crowd who were loud in their threats of personal violence.--They said they had entered into a combination to resist the draft, and that they would resist it to death, and they would rather spill their blood at K than at the South. They brought his horse and carriage along, and said they would give him fifteen minutes in which to leave town. The Pittsburg (Pa.) Chronicle is very much afraid that the draft there, so far as filling up the ranks of the old regiments with conscripts goes, will turn out a failure. One-half the city has been gone over now, yet, exclusive of substitutes, less than fifty of these drafted have reported for duty. The balance have either procured substitutes, paid $300, obtained exemption, or "skedaddled." In the First Ward the "skedaddler" number over fifty, in the Second over thirty, and so on.

ing in the dust of a much-traveled road, without even an acquaintance near, is seemingly worse than to meet death gallantly on the battle field. On the Louisiana side of the river, in the country opposite Vicksburg, Kirby Smith has saved Gen. Grant all further trouble about looking after guerillas, for a time at least. He has literally destroyed everything for thirty or forty miles back from the river, and driven the inhabitants, including the negroes, within his lines. Consequently Louisiana, opposite Vicksburg, is now a waste and howling wilderness that will not subsist guerillas. What the poor people will do for the necessaries of life it is hard to say, Surely they are paying the penalty of treason at such a rate as to bring them to their senses soon.

The following is a copy of the last order issued by General Gardner before he surrendered Port Hudson: Headquarters, Port Hudson, July 8, 1863. General Orders--no. 31. I. Nobly have the troops performed their duty in the defence of this position, continued from the 21st of May to Port Hudson, July 8, 1863. General Orders--no. 31. I. Nobly have the troops performed their duty in the defence of this position, continued from the 21st of May to the present time.--The cheerfulness, bravery and zeal displayed by the troops during the hardships and suffering of this long siege have never been surpassed, and every man can feel the proud satisfaction that he had done his part in the heroic defence of Port Hudson. The place is surrendered at the last moment it is proper to hold it, and after a most gallant defence in several severe attacks, edge of the prairie in the rear of the railroad depot the left extending towards the town of Port Hudson.

gather their prolific harvest, and also because the surrender of Vicksburg diminishes the necessity of immediate reinforcements to our Southwestern army; and as Rosecrans is taking it quietly he certainly has troops enough to meet Bragg's small army. The draft will come along some time in August, or perhaps not until the 1st of September. It is desirable to reinforce our armies early in the autumn, as Grant should be so strengthened as to make the decisive movement against the rebellion in Alabama. By mixing the new conscripts in the old regiments, it will require but a few weeks to make them all veterans. We suppose that the folly of creating more regiments will be abandoned. It was a mistake last year. Let every regiment be filled to its maximum before a new regiment is authorized. The old officers have now obtained an invaluable experience, not merely in fighting, but in the management of men. They know how to take care of them. The Middleburg (Pa.) Tribune says:
