A Prayer for Peace.
Great Prince of Peace, to thee we pray,
The windows of thy sky unbar,
And send us rain of righteousness,
To stay the hand of civil war.
O! deign to hear our humble prayer,
Do thou forgive our sinful way,
Dispel the cloud that's hanging o'er,
And cheer us with a brighter day.
0 ! may thy rainbow gild our sky,
From north to south, from east to west,
Send the glad tidings o'er the land,
That we may be forever blest.
Great Prince of Peace, thy power display,
And bid the angry passions cease j
O! bring the Union back again,
In one great bound of Love and Pence. •
We'll upward look with eye of faith,
In this our hour of hope and fear,
And wait thy blessing to descend.
The joyful ncwfi of peace to hear.
The Inn of Ronelle.
In a gloomy day in the month of Novem
ber, a traveler, on horseback, stopped at
the door of an inn in the village of Rouelle,
which adjoined the park of Malmatison.—
The hostess went out to receive him, and,
having given his horse to the stable boy,
he ordered dinner, lie was shown into the
best room in the house, and the busy host
ess set about preparing the repast. In a
few minutes another traveler, on horseback,
stopped at the inn, and also ordered dinner.
"i am sorry that I cannot accommodate
you, sir," said the hostess; "but everything
we have in the house has been bespoken
by a gentleman who arrived a few minutes
before you."
"Go up stairs," said the traveler, "and
tell your guest I shall be obliged to him if
he will permit me to share his dinner, and
1 will de fray my portion of the expense."
The hostess delivered the message to the
first traveler, who politely replied: "Tell
the gentleman I shall be glad of his compa
ny, but that U la not iijy practice to accept
payment from persons who dine with me."
The second traveler accordingly went up
stairs, and having expressed his acknowl
edgment for the kind reception he received,
they both sat down to the table.
The dinner was as cheerful as could bo
expected, considering the short acquaintance
of the parties; but during the dessert, when
some excellent wine was placed before them,
the conversation became more unrestrained,
and the second traveler ventured to ask his
obliging Amphitryon what had brought hirn
to that part of the country, where he ap
peared to be a stranger.
"I have been ordered here," he replied,
"by the Cardinal."
"By the Cardinal!" resumed his compan
ion, "Pardon my curiosity, sir, if I inquire
whether you have given his Eminence any
offence ?"
"By no means," replied the first traveler;
"and it is only to free myself from any such
imputation that I have come here. The
fact is, there has been published at Rochelle,
my native town, a virulent satire upon
the public conduct and personal character of
the Cardinal, several copies of which have
been addressed to the King, and though I
never in my life wroto a single word that
lias appeared in print, I am unjustly accus
ed of being the author of this pamphlet.
Nothing obtains such ready belief as the
whisperings of folly and ill-nature; and 1
have therefore lost no time in obeying the
summons of his Eminence, in the hope ot
effectually refuting the charge that is fcro't
against me."
"Sir," said his companion, with an ex
pression of marked anxiety, "return thanks
to Providence for the fortunate accident that
introduced me to you to-day. I have also
been summoned hither by the Cardinal, for
110 other purpose, I am convinced, than that
of beheading you."
A thrill of horror passed thro' the frame
of the person to whom these words were
addressed. .
"Yes, sir," resumed the speaker, "my
task would have been to behead you. I
am the executioner of a neighboring town,
and whenever the Cardinal has a secret act
of vengeance to perform, I receive orders to
repair to the castle. The particulars I have
just heard you relate together with your ap
pointment here, all convince me, beyond a
doubt, that you arc marked out as a victim,
j But fear nothing; I will secure your escape.
I Order your horse instantly, and go with me.
I will acquit myself of the debt of grati
tude which your courtesy has imposed up
on me."
The horror and alarm of the poor travel
er n ay he more easily conceived than de
scribed. He instantly ordered the horses
to he saddled, end having paid the hill, he
end his companion set out, taking a private
way through the woods of Bcrtrand.
"Do you see," said the guide, as they ap
proached the castle, "that grated window
which ahnost reaches the crannies of the
central turret? In that dungeon, sentences,

against which there is no appeal, are pro
nounced and executed, and the mutilated
bodies of the victims arc hurried into the
moat below, where they are quickly destroy
ed by quicklime. Neglect not to observe
my instructions. Conceal yourself behind
that hedge, and if within the space of an
hour you see a light glimmering at the win
dow 1 have pointed out, then you may con
elude that I am ordered to execute venge
ance on another; but if, on the contrary,
you see no light, rely on it that you your
self are the intended victim. In that case
lose not a moment. Profit by the darkness
of the night and the swiftness of your horse.
Gain the frontier, and there plead your cause
as you see fit. But permit me to tell you
that it is absurd to seek to justify yourself
against the imputation of an offence which
you have not committed; for where despot
ism reigns, truth and justice are powerless."
Having expressed unbounded gratitude
to his tutelar saint, the traveler withdrew to
his hiding place. The suspicions of the
Cardinal's agent proved well-grounded. No
light appeared at the window of the turret;
and at the expiration of an hour the trav
eler galloped off. He immediately quitted
France and did not venture back until after
the death of the Cardinal.
On returning to his native country, his
first business was to visit the inn of liouelle,
and to make inquiries respecting his bene
factor, who, however, had not been hear' of
for several years. He then related his ad
venture, which has Bince become a local
tradition, and conferred celebrity on the inn
of Bouelle, known by the sign of the 'Che
val Blanc.' The room in which the two
travelers dined is shown to this day, and is
called "La salle do bon secours."
Enforcement of tho Conscription Law.
Rules and Regulations of the War Department.
Officers and Salaries.
A Full and Official List of Exemptions.
Modp of TJvftfting; (
From tha Cincinnati Gazette.
The instructions of l'rovost Marshals and
other officers nnder the Conscription Law arc
about to lie issued by the War Deparuuum.
They have been prepared by Col. Fry, tho l'ro
vost Marshal General and when that fact is sta
ted it is needless to add that they are clear, con
cise and comprehensive.
From advance sheets of the work I abstract
a few points, which, now that this all embrac
ing law is on the evo of being put in operation,
will be of absorbing interest.
SALARIES.
The salary of the Assistant l'rovost Mar
shal General is, of course, that of his rank in
the army. He will generally bo a Colonel or
Lieut. Colonel.
Tho District l'rovost Marshal has the rank,
pay, and emoluments of a Captain of cavalry
(amounting, I believe, to about $U>() per month.
The exact figures were recently forwarded.)
The Deputy l'rovost Marshals may be ap
pointed in each district, composed of more than
one, county, with the approval of the Provost
Marshal General. Their pay shall not bo over
a hundred dollars per month.
Special officers and agents may be employed
for detecting and arresting spies, but not more
than four in a district, without special authori
ty. They may be paid forty to sixty-five dol
lars per month, according to usefulness.
The Surgeon and Commissioner (who, with
the Provost Marshal, form tho Board of En
rollment) receive the compensation of an Assis
tant Surgeon, (rank of Captain) excluding com
mutation for fuel and quarters. Their pay lasts
only during tho timo actually employed. En
rolling officers, selected by tho Board, are to be
paid three dollars a day.
DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS,
Are fixed l>y the Provost Marshal General. If
there is no Government building there suitable
for the purpose, an office, consisting of not more
than three rooms, may be rented. Each Pro
vost Marshal may employ at these headquarters
two clerks, subject to tho approval of the Pro
vost Marshal General, and at such rate of com
pensation as he may fix.
SOLDIERS' RESTS—QUARTERS AND SUBSISTENCE.
"Rests" are to be rented by the Provost Mar
shal, to be used in providing for deserters, strag
glers, &c. He is also to contract for their sub
sistence at not more than thirty cents a day, or a
contract made for their board and lodging at a
rate never over forty cents a day, and which, in
general, is expected to be much less. Where
neither of these can be made, prisoners in charge
of Provost Marshals' parties may be lodged in
jails, when only the ordinary jail fees will bo
paid.
INTERFERENCE WITH TUE DRAFT.
The Provost Marshals are enjoined, in ac
cordance with the terms of tho act, to arrest
and deliver to the pjoper civil authorities, viz:
The United States Marshal, with written char
ges, any persons resisting the draft, or counsel
ing any drafted person to conceal himself, or in
any way disobey or dissuade from obedience to
the law. On conviction, persons so arrested
are to be fined five hundred dollars, or impris
oned not to exceed two years or both. The in
struction is added that in all cases the Provost
Marshals shall execute this duty with firmness,
but also with prudeuce and good judgment, and
without unnecessary harshness. To enablo them
to perform this and similar duties, they arc au
thorized to call on the nearest available milita
ry force, or on citizens, as a posse comitatus, or
i on U. States Marshals and Deputy Marshals.
' APPREHENSION AND DELIVERY OF DESERTERS.
I Every possible effort must be made by the
Provost Marshal to arrest all deserters within
his district, and ho must receive and hold all
deserters presented to him by other parties. The
live dollars reward for the delivery of a desert
er is to be paid just as Boon as he is satisfied that
the person presented IS a deserter, BO that those
bringing deserters may receive their rewards as
surely and promptly as possible. Where there
is a militai-y station in the immediate vicinity,
deserters will be sent to it at once. If such sta
tions are remote, they will be sent tri-monthly,
or oftener if there be more than five on hand at
any intermediate period. A special guard may
be employed, when a military one is not procu
rable, to accompany the prisoners, for which
| they shall be paid a dollar a day nnd expenses,
if they deliver the prisoner safely—otherwise
nothing. Persons who are drafted, duly noti
fied, but fail to report or furnish a substitute,
or pay for one, are to bo treated as deserters.
Finally, Provost Marshals are warned against
improper or unwarrantable arrests, and urged
to special carc on that point.
SPIES
Arc to bo arrested as deserters, nnd forthwith
turned over to the General commanding the de
partment.
ENROLLMENT
Is to be begun, under tho orders of the Board,
as speedily as possible. Assessors are to be gen
erally preferred for enrolling officers. One is to
be appointed from each sub-district, and tho
Board may take as muny of these as it deems
necessaryhaving generally but one for each
sparsely settled county, and one in each ward
of a city, or township of a populous county. '
Enrolling officers are to enroll all persons sub
ject to military duty, whether white or black , and
j to note their ages, residences, color and occu
pations. They must include, first, all able-bod
ied males between the ages of twenty and forty
five, nit exempt by law; and second, all per
sons of foreign birth who shall havo declared
, their intentions to become citizens.
'The enrollment of tho two classes (between
twenty and thirty-five, with unmarried persons,
and second, all others) must bo kept on separate
sheets, but made at the same time. Students
in colleges or schools, teachers, apprentices, sail
ors, travelers, traveling merchants and the like,
are to be enrolled at their legal residence, their
temporary absence from which forms no cause
for oxuDption. Enrolling officers aro to judge
of age by #llO best evidence thoj-can ofctr.iu, v...
appeals from exemption on account of age may
always be made to the Board.
DRAFTS.
r ut * tiro forces thus enroll
ed are to be called out, tho l'rovost Marshal
General slwll notify each District l'rovost Mar
shal of his proportion, with specific instructions
as to the sub-divisions. Tho Board shall then
make the apportionment to the sub-districts,
and shall add fifty per cent, thereto.
What follows is embraced in the following
regulations .-
73. The Board shall make an exact nnd com
plete roll of the numcs of tho persons drafted,
arid of the order in which they wero drawn, so
that the first drawn may stand first on the said
roll, and the second may stand second, and so on.
The draft shall take place at the headquarters
of the district. It shall be public, and under
the direction of tho Board of Enrollment. The
name of each person shall be placed in a box to
lie provided for tho purpose, nnd the Provost
Marshal, or some person designated by him,
(the drawer to be biindfolded) shall draw there
from one name at a time until the required
number is obtained.
74. The exact and complete roll of the names
of persons drawn in tho draft shall be entered
by tlw Board in a book for the purpose, ruled
and headed to correspond with the dcscriptivo
roll of drafted men.—(Form 34.)
75. The number required to fill tho call will
bo taken from this roll, by commencing at the
first name, and taking in order, until the requir
ed number is obtained, all who are not, by tho
Board, decided to be excepted and exempt un
der the provisions of the Enrollment Act.
I 70. The names of the men thus called into
! service will be entered on "descriptive rolls,"
(in triplicate) signed by the Hoard. One copy
1 of this roll will be sent to the Provost Marshal
General direct, one copy to the Acting Assistant
Provost Marshal General ot the State, and one
will be retained by the Provost Marshal.
77. Certified extracts from this descriptive
roll shall bo made in duplicato by the Provost
Marshal for every party of drafted men sent off,
and sent with the party to the officer to whom
the party is to be delivered. One copy is to bo
retained by this officer, and the other is to bo
returned, with a receipt for the party as deliv
ered to him on the back. The returned copy
will accompany the Provost Marshal's monthly
report to the Provost Marshal General.
78. The Board shall note on the roll book of
drafted men, in the column of remarks, oppo
site each man's name, the disposition made of
him—whether called into service and sent to the
rendezvous, exempted by the Board, replaced
by a substitute, commuted for, deserted or dis
charged as not being required.
71). The substitute whom any drafted person
is authorized, by section 13 of the Enrollment
Act, to furnish, must be presented to the Board
of Enrollment; and it shall be the duty of the
Board to examine him, and, if accepted, to
place his name on the book of persons drafted,
with explanatory remarks. His name will then
be transcribed on the descriptive rolls of men
called into service.
80. Certificates of exemption from the draft,
by reason of having provided a substitute, or
having paid commutation money, shall be fur
nished by the Board of Enrollment according
to form 31. A discharge from one draft fnr
nishes no exemption from any subsequent draft,
except that, when the person drafted has fur
nished an acceptable substitute, and has receiv
ed a certificate of discharge from a preceding
WHOLE ftUIHRER, 3007
YOL. 6, NO 51.
draft, he shall bo held exempt from military
duty during the time for which he had been
drafted and for which such substitute was fur
nished.
81. The board shall furnish a discharge (from
31) from further liabilities under the particular
draft, to any drafted person who presents a bona
Jult receipt for the sum announced in order for
procuring substitutes, from the persons author
ized by the Secretary of War to receive it.
EXEMPTIONS AND BULKS OF EVIDENCE BY WHICH
TIIEY AliE ro BE DETEKMINED.
81. Section 2, Act for enrolling and calling
out the National Forces, &c., approved March
3, 18G3, provides as follows: That the follow
ing persons be, and they are hereby excepted
and exempt from the provisions of this act, and
shall not be liable to military duty under the
same, to wit: such as are rejected as physically
or mentally unlit for the service; also, first, the
Vice President of the United States, the Judges
of the various Courts of the United States, the
heads of the various Executive Departments of
the Government, and the Governors of the sev
eral States. Second, the only son, liable to mil
itary duty, of a widow dependent upon his la
bor for support. Third, the only son of an a
ged or infirm parent or parents dependent upon
his labor for support. Fourth, where there are
two or more sons of aged or infirm parents sub
ject to draft, the father, or if he be dead, the
mother may elect which son shall be exempt, j
Fifth, the only brother of children not twelve
years old having neither father nor mother, de
pendent upon his labor for support. Seventh,
where there are a father and sons in the same
family and household, and two of them are in
the military service of the United States as non
commissioned officers, musicians or privates, the
residue of such family nnd household, not ex
ceeding two, shall be exempt. And no persons
but such as are herein excepted shall be exempt:
Provided, however. , That no person who has been
convicted of any felony shall be enrolled or per
mitted to serve in said forces.
85. The following diseases and infirmities are
thoso which disqualify for military service, and
for which only drafted men are to bo "rejected as
physically or mentally unfit for the service," viz:
1. Manifest imbecility or insanity.
2. Epilepsy. For this disability the state
ment of the drafted man is insufficient, and the
fact must bo established by the duly attested af
fidavit of a physician of good standing, who
has attended him in a convulsion.
3. l'aralvsls, general or of one limb, of cho
rea - their extatv.xoo to be
ed.
4. Acute or organic diseases of the brain or
spiual cord ; of the heart or lungß; of the stom

solitary vice, in degree sufficient to have mate
rially enfeebled the constitution
-10. Chronic rheumatism, unless manifested
by positivo change of structure; wasting of the
i affected limb, or puffiness or distortion of the
joints does not exempt. Impaired motion of
the joints and contraction of the limbs alleged
to arise from rheumatism, and in which the nu
trition of the limb is not manifestly impaired,
are to be proven by examination while in a state
of an;rsthesis induced by ether only.
11. Pain, whether simulating headache, neu
ralgia in any of its forms, rheumatism, lumba
go, or alfections of the muscles, bones or joints,
is a symptom of disease so easily pretended that
it is not to bo admitted as a cause for exemp
tion, unless accompanied with manifest derange
ment of the general health, wasting of a limb,
o t r other positive sign of disqualifying local dis
ease.
12. Great, injuries or disease of the skull,
occasioning impairment of the intellectual fac
ulties, epilepsy, or other manifest nervous or
spasmodic symptoms.
13. Total loss of sight; loss of sight of right

mia, fistula, lachrymalis, ptosis, (if real) ectro

cided or depending upon some structural change
in the eye, is not a cause for exemption.
15. Loss of nose; deformity of nose so great
as seriously to obstruct respiration, ozama, de
pendent upon caries in progress,
IC. Complete deafness. This disability must
not bo ndmitted on the mere statement of the
drafted man, but must bo proved by the exist

ry evidence of Purulent Otorrhea.
18. Dumbness; permanent loss of voice;
not to Ix 3 admitted without clear and satisfacto
ry proof.
21. Stammering, if excessive and confirmed ;
