Enlistment at the North.

The enlistment of citizens at the North has been stopped, and the emigrant ships which arrive at New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, supply the food for Confederate powder and Southern fever. There are the action of all the earth, but mostly Germans and Italians of the lower class. Strong inducements are held out to them in Europe by agents to immigrate, and as soon as they arrive they are met by other agents, who, by the promise of food, clothing, and pay, force them into the ranks, which is in fact the only thing they could do at the present time. Upon the accomplishment of this, all the rights of citizenship are promised them; with a right and tide to the unoccupied [and of the reconquer] South.

The better classes of the North declare that enough of the blood of their kindred has been shed, and are resolved that Europe shall expend the balance. As a distinguished citizen of New York city remarked, ‘"You may kill a thousand Dutchmen, and who cares in New York. It gives us more room; but when a Virginia falls, sorrow goes into an hundred households."’
