the war.
Odb Sob thorn files to the 13th iu3t.'hars- been
received, Tholr most important contents are re
published on our first,page. In porfoot accordance
with rebel ideas of weraoifcy, the battleef Oodar
Mountain (styled by, the rebels the battle of South
west Mountain) iaolaitnell as a glorious victory:
Brigadier (tenoral Prinoe, 29 commissioned of
ficers, and 830 privates, are said to hare been
tabes prisoners. "Tho names of the officers are pub
lished. They were taken to" Gordonsvllle in hand
ouffa, end, in conformity with Jefferson Davis rre
taliatory order, are to be debarred the privileges
accorded to prisoners of war. Bike CorooraQ, Lieu
tenant Harris, and other gallant Union soldiers who
have likewise experienced the rugged fortunes
of war, they will-doubtless in loath
some dungeons, deprived of proper"and sufficient
food and other necessaries, and subjected .‘to the
thousand ifid one petty annoyances which rebel
malevolence can so well invent. How long will,
their brethren in the loyal States permit them to
pine in these tot ture-prisons ? It will: be vain to
scoff at the retaliatory order, unless.; wo are pre
pared to nullify ithyt he force of arms and the
“logic of events,”. But there are other important
items of news in onr Southern extracts. A number- ■
of non-consoripts, through their counsel; have pre
sented a petition to .the-rebel Congress containing
in general' some radical truths with regard to
tho science of (fovernment, and setting forth, in
particular, the, grounds on which they ex poo t to ‘
be exempt from consoription. The document is
almost revolutionary in tone, and must have been
penned by a Frenchman." “ Are the people free V’
it asks, “or is tho Executive supreme?” Farther
on we are told; “ When,the commons ,of England,
in the manly language which became freemen, said
to their king, ‘ You are our servant,’ then was the
temple of liberty complete.” So, after all, the
people will reason for themselves, although for a
while their voioe may be stifled and their wishes
set at nought by a corrupt oligarchy: Mr.
throne is tittering when the,rebel press is so far un
shackled ns to promulgate this ; etition “ of certain
non-consoripts.”
In our Southern news we reprint an article from
the editorial columns of the Richmond Whig,
which, taking, the United census reports of
1810 slid 1850 as a basis, estimates tho fighting
force of the seceded States; at: 2 030,000 men,' 1
“ used to handlibg.'Jhe shot-gun and rifle from the
age of twelvo. ’’ The Whig is disposed to grant
that tbis Estimate is,iextravagant, but thinks that
in no oaso csn tho fighting force bo reduced
to one million of men. Wo think it can. In the
Whig's estimate, Maryland’s 130,000 males, for
some inexplicable reason, .are included iu the
available force- of the South; and the-same has
been done,with.. Tennessee’s’ 200,000, and Ken
tucky’s 230.000 Of the 280,000 oredited to Mis
souri, not more than one-fourth could by any pos
sible device be enrolled upon the side of rebellion;
and the same is true; though not to the same ex
tent, of North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, and
Florida, in'each of which States ’the existence of
an active -Union 'sentiment sustaining itself-amid’
many discouragements, has beenest&blisked beyond
all doubt. ■ The mistake of the Whig,it in regard?
irg every Slave-State as disloyal. The figures .are
very .formidable-looking, .we -admits but they sud
denly dissolve when iffie test of truth is applied. .
With atltnirabio 'pronipUioßs, General Pops has
transmitted to General Htt|ltok his o.ffl()ial report of
the battle of Cedar Mountain, It confirms our
first impressions of thedesperaienees of the struggle,
and if possible, renders it still more evident that a
great victory was.gained through, the ; noble endu-,
ranee of General'Banks’ division.. The flight of the ,
enemy, leaving-bis dead unburied and bis wounded
strewn siting ,the Orange Court House road’, is.a
striking. efimmSnt’ary jupoh the .falsity; of the rebel
despatches, we publish' on onr first page,
claiming tf glorious viotory. , General Pope's re, ort ’
is not oetentatiously claniurous of victory.':ft. is a
plain, straightforward reouid of Jackson’s advanoa:
and re ulse,- and oarrks with-itoonviotioo to every.
The simplisity.of ‘ its'style is
1 deed remarkable, and worthy both of praise and
imitation. t .' The only .instance in which: General
Pope is betrayed ■ into cnthusiasmis while speaking,
of the heroism of tho troops, and the almost reek- •
less daring of their ofiioers' J ’ f .
Wo lave received.a despatch from Washington
denying tbatoGeneral McClellan has changed
headquarters—a denial which is perfectly credible.
The despatoh does not state that a movement" of
the army'- from-itspresent position' is not to "hi 1
made. If we may.jnrige from the rebel reports,
published ! on our first page, General Mp.Oieilah is’
about to make a mnveinent speedily ; whether it will 5
be aggressive or siyuply precautionary, time alone
can determine. Meanwhile, let us be oooteat with
the fact that tbs’ troops ate in excellent spirits,
having a fuller measure of health than oould be
expected; that they have the, liveliest confi
dence in their general, and that the recent move
ments of the'army distinctly imply a speedy and
deliberate advance upon the rebel capital.

.To-day and To-morrow.
One 4Sre Chinee, and only one, for those
who want to join new regiments; To-day will
end the period regularly assigned 1 by the : Go
vemmeht ior all volunteering.} though Secre
tary Stanton’s reply to Governor Morgan ,
makes this limitation applicable only to or
ganizations formed since the issue of the first
cell—giyifcg a still farther chance to old regi
ments/ by extending the time during which
volunteers will be received for them, till the
draft is actually made. Both these provisions
of the War Department are admirable. First,
It is high time that a stop was put to the am
bition which seeks to construct now regimoats,
since it is indulged ati the public peril ; undis
ciplined, bodies of men^—officers as well as pri
vates—cannot be made fit for actual service !
under several months, and > before that time ;
shall have given, proficiency sufficient for real J
military duties, the fate of the contest will pro- i
bably be sealed. If there has been ahymisfcake iu j
reference to this matter, it is in having present- !
td superior Inducements to recruits for new
bodies,.and in so far protracting the period •
during which they have been: received.' But
to find fault by comparing what has beon done
with what might have been done, Is a very
cheap and email-way«of earning an appear
ance of wisdom.*' Let us not ask whether this
thing might have been different; but; accepting
its present state, ,lbt'y ;ratb'ef jleqk, to its :,fti-;
ture amendment. One method of securing
this result il atf eady adopted,..viz summarily
ending, c t6-diyV J the‘ new regimenta’ chancoa;
there seems to be another which ought to be
embraced .’witlf equal 8 ddsphtchi viz instant
consolidationof the various; fragmeinijiry regi
ments which now find it impossible to
complete, their numbers. Such a" measure,
would ‘ ‘wtfir-
have sacrificed much labor, anil, time, and.
money, in endeavoring thus serve their
country; but individual claims sire nothing to
comparison with the public interest. - If a
thousand men aro distributed between Colonels
A, B, and C, yet each commander, finding it
impossible to complete his plans, is about to
disband , those whom he has effected—w- y,
in the name of military common sense, shall
not the Government stop iu and arbitrarily, yet
as fairly as possible, solve the difficulty and
save'the thousand men'bytuuijingthese frag
ments ? Especially, is ’ this, desirable if these
numbers would subtract from the draff"about
to be made. " ~
Secondly, the War Department shows itself
both wise and merciful—for mercy is always
the bloom of wisdom —in extending the time
for ibo reception of volunteers tor old . regi
ments until the draft is about to be enforced.
These Old regiments have not had fair play
thus far; but a compulsory sort of fair play
will now be given them, by making them the
only doors through which one can enter the .
service. At the same time pecuniary ind uce
ments_ are hot withdrawn, the Government
bounty, extending to the time of tho draft. It
seems i to ‘ be’certain, also, that ail numbers
that are thus, rain-d will bo credited to the
county raising them in the apportionment of
its draft quota : and it our city makes any
thing like proper exertion during the two
weeks? Mitmay elapse before the fatal wheel
begins to turn, enough enlistments can be
made to diminish I ‘materially the stringency of
our drafM-perhaps do away with thesmilitary -
compulsion altogether. " ’ ’ ;
Thfro are, then, two duties as fhe results of
our present position: rally evefy ’en
ergy to fill to-day the new: ranks partially '
formed ; second, to spriug with alacrity to our
new task tc-morrow. Each of these is equally
import nt. It may be unfortunate that so
many hew’regimen’s are forming in our midst;
but, the fact being so; it must be met promptly
and fiilly; companies must be fitted.
And tbenit is of the highest consequence that
tho Second call be answered by volunteering
rather than by conscription. We shall thus:
rank with, the few sections whoso patriotism
will? win immortal honor by responding so
freely that .they will not subject their citizens
to the unrelenting grasp of military compul
sion.-
‘To-day; theiefore, for the'new; it is.the
last chance: To-mo Trow for the old—in sup
port of the, wearied veterans. ...
Soldiers And Potittcwns
Every politician, whether Republican or
Democrat, whether honestly earnest to warn
tho Government against its* enemies or dis.
honestly earnest to weaken it, should make' a

who aro now. asking for recruits to roinvigo

per friends, who are a little over-anxious to
push the President from -the driver’s seat and.
to 'drive ;ih:e VJ ;national . carriage themselves;
, should study the .’addresses of our warrior

-these-addresses as spring from tha determma
- tion to 1 say "nothing that may encourage tho
sympathizers with Secession'. For, be it re.
ineinbered, that every Republican criticism of
the "President, and every attempt to destroy
that'dbnfideuce in his integrity aod sincerity,
without wbich he is helplef-s for good, is used
as atpretext'by - those -sympathizers, to main,
tain their insidious and .hurtful 'policy agamst'

ment do not hold-iip and s!rooglht?n its hands,
its enemies hr re, ’and in the South, and in

their Own peculiar notions and, like ihe heroic

LETTJEU FROM *> OCCASIONAL. ”
■Washinoton, August 14,1862
There is one idea that must be rooted from
the popular mind. * It is, of coarse a favorite
with the traitors in arms, and with all who
sympathize with them in the loyal States.
Sometimes, in the hour of, despondency and
defeat, it assumes an agreeable aspect even
among Certain of the friends of the Govern
ment. This idea is, that the. Cotton States
should he permitted to occupy an independent
position—in other words, that it is better for
alt interests that the authors of this terrible
war should enjoy the blessings of Slavery in
their own section. No theory so mischievous
as this should for a moinent find a lodgment
in any loyal mind. It is unnecessary to re
peat tho forcible and familiar reasons against
• anything like even a partial recognition of this
rebellion. Howevor agreeable it might bo to
Foreign Powers and to the slave oligarchy,
such trn event woifld not simply be disgraceful ■
to the Free States, but would be resisted to
the death by the Border - States. It would
leave our friends in the South at the mercy ot
a remorseless tyranny, would deprive us of
the control of the Mississippi, and would in
augurate an Incessant warfare between the
section thus recognized and that, immediately
npon its border. Its effect upon the free
States would be fatal in the extreme. Seces
sion would become as fashionable in the North
as, in - such an - event, it would be tri
umphant.in the South. Our factions, now
simply powerless because they are watched
and. ' forbidden, would, by. the means
afforded; ;them through their sympathy and
associkttbg with ilie stir up disoonteat
among
intherealizationot'their scheme-of internal
separation. California would fly off from the
common Union centre, and the igreat West,
fascinated and controlled by plausible cora
, meycial arguments, would aocepttbe-profiored
connection under tho same b'aneful influences
so freqnently offered by the! armed traitors to
the brava>non now contonding'agamst these
tyrants and assassins.
It is only necedsary to state the case
to admonish the friends of the country
against this'most hurtful dogma. ypt> see
: in the overwhelming reasons against'Sepa
ration and Recognition, the overwhelming ne
cessily of conducting this wir.npon the batjlgj,
of maintaining ’he Union in itk-integrity,.and
of a restoration, by, arms, over'every ft»ot;6f
the,seceded territory, of--the authority of the -
Federal Constitution. Animated by this sen
timent, instructed by the experience of tho
last fifteen months, admonished by the despe
ration of the rebels, who fight witfi the hope
of securing a final recognition, and so of ; hu
miliating and destroying the Federal Govern
ment, wo must push on the war with un
pausing er ergy, acd put behind us every hope
of peace that is not founded upon a complete
Union.

scaling to K it Ireland and Scbtianil, to under

idea., The constant endeavor of England,
from the time of Edward the First to the death

On Thursday morning the eueuty crossed, the Bapldan,

the road to Oitlpeper and Midi ton Court House, r had
established my whole force on the turnpike between Cul
peper and Sperry ville,, ready, to concentrate, at .olthor
place as Scon as the rnttnyls plaas were developed. -
Eariyj on Friday it became apparent that the move on
Madison Court House was merely, a feint,.t» .detain, the
army cerps of General Bigel at Sperry villa aud that the
muin atTapk-btithe enemy would be at Culpeper, to whloh

noted not to advanoe beyond that point/and if attacked

timely notice. It was my desire to have lime to give the
'corps of Sigeb all the rest possible'after their forced
• march, and to bring forward all the forces at mydls
■ posai. . ", ' y ' ‘
■j: »The artillery of. the enemy opened early in»the, after*
. noon,- but he made no 'advance until nearly five o’clock,'
• atwhioh time a few skirmishers wero'lhrown forward on"
each' Bide, under cover.of.the heavy woods in which his
' fofce'‘was concealed..*- The, enemy..pushed forward a
'strong force in the rear of-liis skirmishers*‘and General'

‘ fairly open uatil h>x o’clock, but, for one and_ a hair'

Jljroughout. the cannonading, whfrh at first was,do-'

continued to receive reports from General Banks that no
attack was*, apprehended, and ithat notoonsideraoie In

. 'Towards, evening the - increase in the artiliery firing
had satisfied me that an engagement might-ba at. hand,,

was most destructive, as was readily obsorvod tile naxt
morning in the dead,men and.horses, and broken gim
cenioges of the. enemy’s ‘batteries, which had been ad-
Tanced against it.
! Onr troops rested on their artDß during the night; iti

sidei'nnti! midnfgbt. ; At day-light the next, morning the
enemyifeli back two rriilerfriJm onr.f/ont, and still higher*
•upithe mountain. Our pickets at once advanced and
occupitdi.the ground. The (fatigue: of,the: troops from
long marches and excessive heat made it' impossible for
eithtr'eide to resume the action on Sunday. The men
were allowed to rest and recriiit the whole day, onr only
artive operations • being of the cavalry on the enemy’s
fisnk and rear. ■ Monday.was spent in burying the dead,
end in getting off the wounded. The slaughter was severe
on both sides, most of the fighting. being band to hand-
The deed bodies of both armioa were found mingled to
gether in :tnassoß over tho whole ground of the conflict, "
The burying or the dead was not completed until dark on
Monday, the heat being sc terrible that ssvere work was
not possible.- ,
On Monday night the enemy fled from the field,-leav.
ing many of his dead unbnt-iod and his wounded oh the
' ground and along the road to Orange Court House, as
‘will.be seen from General Buford’s despatch,,* :A. cavalry
and artillery force; under General' Buford, was irnmedi
...ately thrown forward in pursuit, and followed the enemy
'to the Sapid an, over which.he passed'with his rear guafd
by ten olclook in the morning . Parts of onr infantry
followed'; the remainder were sent forward la the morn
ing. lie behavior of Banks’; corps. duriugj the action
fweg very fine. , No greater gallantry anddaring oottld be
exhibited by any troops. I cannot speak .too .highly of
lbs intrepidity of General Banks himself during the
wboleof the engagement. He was in the front, and ex-'
posed SB much as any man In his command! . HU exam
ple teas bf.the greatest benefit to his troops, and he merits
and Ehonld recetve the commendation of bis Government.
. Generals Williams, Augur/Gordon, Crawford, Prinoe,
Green, and Geary, behaved with 'conspiouons gallantry.'
Augur and Geary were severely wounded,, and Prince,
by losing his way in the 1 dark, while passing fromoae
flank;to the other, fell . Into the enemy’s bauds. ,1 desire
publicly to express my .appreciation of the prompt and
skilful manner in which ; Generals McDowell and Sigef
brought: forward their-respective oommands and esta
blished them “on the field,' and of their cheerful and
hearty co-opeiation wUh.ino from beginning to end.
", - Brigadier Gen. Boberto, ohief 'of cavalry of this army,
‘ was with the advance of our forces on Friday and Satur
day, and was conspicuous for his gallantry and for, fhe
valuable , aid he rendered to Ge&erals Banks an 1 Craw
ford. Onr loss in kilted, wounded, 'and missing was
about ■ 1;5<X); of whom 220 were taken prisoners. As
might be expected from the character of the ougasement, ■
a very large; proportion of those were kiUed. >Tno ene

Although many men engaged on either side,do.not

is betier for iis both, therefore, te be separated.
■ “I know that there are freemen among you who, even
if they could better their condition; are not inclined to
-go out of-the country, As thoie who,. being slaves,
could obtain tbeir freedom,on this condition, I.euopose
one of tha principal difiicnlties l in the. way of coloniza
tion is, that the free colored man cannot sea that Ids
comfort wouldbeiadvanced by it; Toil may believe that
you can Eve in Waamngton or elaewhorein the United

you 'can' in nny foreign country; aid hence you
may .come to the conclusion that yon have nothing to do
with the idea of going to a foreign country. This is—l
epeaki in no unkind sense—an extremely selfish view of
the case 'Ton ought to do something to ho!p those who
are_uot so,fortunate as yourselves. There'is an unwil
lingness on the part of our people, harsb'as it may be, for
,y«u,free colored peeple to remain with ns Now, If you
give a start to the white people, you, won# open a'
widp door Tor many to be'made free. If .weffeal with
those who are not free at the beginning, and whoso.intol-' >
lects are clouded by slavery, we have very poor material
to atari with ? If intelligent colored men, such as are be
fore’ine,.would move in this matter, mdcUjniglitba ao
■ complished., It Is exceedingly important that we have
men at the beginning capable of thinking as white men,
and not those who have been systemaiicaliy oppressed.
There is much to encourage yon for tho sake of yo-r
race. Ton sliouid sacrifice something, of yonr present
comfort for tho purpose of being as grand in that respect
as tbe whlte people. It is a cheeriug thought throughout
. life that something can be done to ameliorate . the condi
tion of tboße who have been,subject to the.hard usagst of
the world. It is difflunltlo make a man miserable while
hefeejs that he.is worthy of himself, and claims kindred
to Iho greaiGod'who made him. In the Americanße.yo!
lutionary.war, sacrifices were made by men engaged In
it, but they were cheered by tho fntnro. Gen.

“The colony of Liberia has been In existence for a

tV HE'- EE, APT.
A Rush to the British Consulate's Office.
.Owing to the fact that to-day la the 15th, when all
Government bounty tovolnntet-rs ceases, the business of,
recruiting, yesterday, was brisk, and additions were made'
to the roll. An idea sestni to prevail!genwaUV) that|
drafting will cot be resorted to,'and also that onr rejrt-'
mentis were filling n® with rapidity ’* THIs 'la altogether A '
miaraien notion, and ; ths sooner diepeUed the betters
Bacrniilng, .although lively, l,aa by no.'means .been as
fast as the emergency requires. One first quota fs not
yetfuli, rad, without there is a great change to-day in
the state of affairs, drafting wM not only have to be to
sorted to to'order'to •IDl'' ! np • tlto-Mst can, but wflr«b«b.
lately be found necessary In order to place to the Buie the
five legimtets now form ng. Yesterday we took the
trouble to visit the ; headquarters of ail the . regiments
now forming, ai d their strength, up to noon, was re
ported by the Bovoral commanding officers as follows:
% neve B'Afriqne, Col. 0011i5,................ 880 men,
116tb Regime,tPimnn. Yoi, Oof Heenan.... 660 “
Corn Exchange Regiment, Col. Pr0v05t....... 70S 11
Scott Legion, Col.‘ Tlppeo 800 «
Gray .Reserves* Uol.JGllTOaker.3So “
The above comprises the five regiments accepted under
the first call. Their,total, strength is only 3,883, leaving
a deficiency of {allow big 1,000 men to each regiment)
1,637 men, which the law requires shall be furnished by
to-day the 16th of August. Major Hoff, the United 1
States mustering officer, at Twelfth and Girard streets,
reports that up to Wednesday evening, he had mustered
into the service for these five regiments, the following
number of men : •
Zouaves B’afriqne, Cob'OoHis...4Bl men.
116th Regiment Penna?ji£o]., Col. Keenan..... 451 <
Coni Exchange Regiment, Col. Prevcxt....... 719 «
Scott Legion, Col. .Tippen., . 614 “
Gray 8e5erve5,C01.E11maker................. 235 '««
From this statement we haye a : otal of only 2103 mere
who were actually , up to Wednesday evening, mustered
into the service of the ' United States. The difference of
the two etstenienlß may be owing to the fact that ntaity
men have enrolled their names in the different regimsntß
but have not, as yely been mustered in. Why this 1b not
done we are unable to state; The relative strength of
the rogforonts accepted under the last call is, according
to the statements of their commanding officers, as fol
lows : .
Philadelphia Light Guard, Col. Dnviß, ,600 men.
CedWallader Regiment, Col. W. F. dohreiber, 375 men.
Union Guards, Col. Adams. 400 men.
121st Bepitheirt, Col. Bidale, no returns.
Major Buff reports having mustered into the service
for the last named regiment 120 men.
: Up to noon 2 yesterday; the: sum total of the men en
rolled for the nine regiments formii g was only 4.858 men,
which does .not even farm onr first quota, of 5,000, men.
The great mistake seems to.have beeu in allowing more
regiments to recruit than were actually needed under the
first calb Bad there been hut five regiments allowed, all
w ho desired to enlist would have known exactly what to
do ; but the presence Of four additional organizations
has been the occasion for wasting mnch of our ener
gies. Besides this, recfhittog is also progressing for
.numerous regiments; now in the field in active service,
and alsi for the regular army. This takes off many who
otherwise would go with the new regiments If there
was more time allowed, no donbt all the regiments ; could
be filled ; but as the period allowed, by the, Government
expires to-day, none but those actually mustered will be
counted./Unless the time is .oxiended by the .Govern
ment, these incomplete regiments may read their fate in
; the following order issued by the President relative to
the draft:
‘‘ln case an} Stats shifil not, by tbe 15th day of Au
gust, tarnish its quota of additional’ 300,000 volnatsern,
called for by the President on the 2d day sf Jaly, 1862,"
ntilesß otherwise ordtredi all inconi pitta residents shall
tt en he CfUisotittated under the direction of the G evernnra
of ibe different States, and an additional, draft shall bs
tnadfs as before provides, to fill op each Quota.” ’*■-'■■" -
A* it may he several days, however, baffre the above
order can be carried into effect, there is still Boms chance ■
left for these regithentsi ! The Corn Exchange Regiment,
we are asßUt ed, will be complete by Saturday.
C'oljte abo expects to have his full complement abont the
sanio.tmie The Scott Legion will not be .far* behind..
Oolontls Heenan and Kllmaker are sanguine and expect _
te have fall regiments .within; a week. The.otherfour,
reginnnts, winch will be counted in the second call, will
probably have to be. consolidated, as the *Government
certainly cannot wait for" their, ranks io flll _np. ; Ifttie
fitst 300 000 men bad been placid promptly in the field,
the time night have very properly been extended, and
the formatloh ibf ihe-•regiments Iticlnied in tho last ball f
wonld have by this*thne been nearly complete. ; Alithe t
dld«’ months' regiments have been disbanded; althongh;,
that of Colonel Newkumetla numbered 400 men; some of ■
whom enlisted in other ,organizations.
At a recent meeting of the board of officers of the Ist
Regiment Philadelphia Home Girards, a resolution waß
adopted to inquire of Governor OnrtinVhither it is his
intention to order out Into active siijvipu.tlie Philadelphia
Borne Guard, and, in that event, to signify to the Go
vernor' the. willingness of the Ist Regiment to respond;
A reply was received by the regiment, in whica it wag *
stated that it is Mot the Governor's intention to call Into -
. active service any of J.he organizations for home defence
at thoprt sent time. In cate ofvlhe draft, however,iths
Huiul- Guard will be first, coiled upon. We have not yet
. learatd the Dnmber of men this organlzation can mnsten
The are bow busy in collecting,to-,
gather the men. composing them. Borne, of, those indi
viilnele have.btfin absent from the city for.a long time,,
aid are not aware,thot their services will bo required.
Some of the companies have, also, been scattered, anil
have not held meetings for months. Some of the officers
and privates have sent in resignation's, whichhave never"
been accepted, bntali are liable to rSspond if called upon.
When we take into consideration, however, the fact
that a large number have joined the regiments now attho
scat of.war,,vfe are safe iu saying that Philadelphia lias
pdone us well as any .other city, although none hays come
np to the standard. ,
SCENE, AT THE BStITISH CONSTTL’S- OFFICE. ; . 4 .
Yesterday, as upon all previous occasions-since the
draft, has, bem i.fticiuUy announced, hosts of applicants
besieged the British consulate's office for certificates en
titling them to British protection. Any one who can
make good biß claim to a certificate of alienship is ex
empted by onr lawstrom drafting. The consul has in
deed a: great work'before 1 him,aiid it requires a man of
no,ordinary to keep cool under shch eir
, cumstat!ce.s. jqWbile* a party of twelve or fifteen persons,
, are insiße .the office claiming certificates, another set are
anxiously waiting on the outside for the doors to opou for
tbi ir sdmittaiice. The rush has become so great that, in
order to speedily transact beeieess and avoid delays, it
has* actually been found necessary to keep the doors of
the offico. closed, and admit only a certain : number at a
time. ■ As soon as one party is 'admitted, the cbhehl is
surrounded and a dozen questions propounded at ohcej
all of which are* cheerfully answered. - Each person la
jwai ed upon in-turn, and, after, being closely examined,
he takes the following oa>h: ■
“You do solemnly. swear that you were born in the
county of i England, Inland, or Scotland); that
son heve never oecouie a citizrfi of the Guited States;
that yon never voted, at the polls in this country ;-tnat
you have never taken upon your; elf the- responsibilities
‘of « citizen of airy kind, and that you are still a British
: subject— so help you God I”
The applicant, alter taking this oath and passing tire
proper examination, is, upon the payment of two dollars
thirty-seven cehts, handed a certificate of protec
tion, of which the following isa copy: r

Tbo above is merely, a certificate of protection, and
entitles the holder, if assessed as liable to military duty,
to have his name stricken from the lilt! ' This certificate
can, with slight alterations, be made to<* answer-the pur
posee* of a passport. - If an applicant has declared his
toteritions to- become a citizenor the United States,
without having fulfilled them, he is entitled to a certifi-
Cato. Individuals born in this country of foreign parents
are considered citizens of the United States and liable to
drait, unless; when they arrive at the age of maturity,
they, express their preference for some other Government.
many rich and laughable scenes are of daily occur
rence at the consulate’s office, Parties apply for certifi
cates who have lived here nearly all their lives, ana voted
at every election. One man said he did hot know that
this made, any difference, se long i as he was not born
here,, Another stated that, if he had been informed
that he w ould have to fight, he would never have been so
foolish bb to vote Attempts to practise imposition tire now
and then made, but, through the shrewdness and energy
of the consul, the guilty parties are generally detected,
and sent from the office rather crest-fallen. » Yesterday,
a young able-bodied man, born in this country, made
his'sppearance; and demanded British protection, on the
ground that he .bad been someyearß duet resident of
Canada, and had voted there.*' Not being able to show hia
papers from the Attorney General of: that Province, or to
bring any proof whatever to corroborate this statement,
he teas sent off as be came. The miserable subterfuges
which some of those liable to, draft have resorted to
il! order to procure certificates of exemption, and avoid
the chance of serving their country, deserve the severest
censure. * The rush to the'other offices of the different
cbrsula is by no means so'great da that to the British
consul. They are not doing much more than an ordinary
business. ■ ■ ■
TUB “ EXEMPTS. 5 ’
, Those who are unable to leave the city or country, and
who are determined, if possible, to avoid enlisting, class
themselves among the«'«exempts.” The enrollment of

more rapidity than the enrollmentJof'Volunteer*. In

bonnd for .Liverpool, was the sconeof similar incidents'
as tboise, that transplred on board the.padketahip Zered.
a fewldayssinoe. i Theprovoet marshal. with a military
guard, took’ possession or the vessel abont noon, and,
i alded| by the phlloe, guarded theaTwuiesorewzpe.
A number of,. persons, 1 witfiout passports, were seat
ashore to procure thorn, but, from some cause or other
did sotrotnrn. One man, who had taken passage on
board the Westmoreland, had collected all Bm money
was worth, amounting to some $6OO, and was leaving hig
wife and three small children to be dependent on the city
His wife, however, not wishing to be left to the cold chal
rifles of an unfeeling world, went oh board and broke
open the chest’ containing the money, and reKared her
absconding partner of all iris surplus foods, who, (,
torn, relieved himself-by sundry oaths, 4nd left this
“ungrateful" country with a light pocket and a very
heavy heart.
'The usual tricks were resorted to to avoid detection,
: tmt s wcrecf ho avail.' Several persons were ordered to
go on shove, who at onto wended their way to the ofibss
of tiie Btltieh consul, to endeavor to procure passports.
Desperate efforts are being made to escape, both by land
and water.' We have been informed by a gentleman
who bas just arrived from Canada that ah unpricedi-nt
edly large number of able-bodied men from the United
’ States, between the ages of eighteen and forty-live, have
completely filled the hotels there within the last tw«
weeks; and these inopportune visitors have engagements
for bunting and fishing;three months ahead. If these
cowardly renegades can spend three months in such phi*,
tores they can certainly afford to Berve Uncle Sam In an
emploimeiit that is not quite so funny, yet iaa great deal
.more honorable. • • •
Those exeroptionists who have procured certificates
from physicians ot easy conscience will not be pleased t*
hear 'that these certificates belere the 16th will avail
torm ridthing, and that no matter bow long or ehort their
residence may’be’to Canada, they are stiil liable to be
drafted on their return, if the war continues. It has
beeD suggested that the name’s of all suspicious applicants
for exemption papers be inserted in the daily papers, sa
that all the loyal.tnen who stand by,the flag may know
what excuses their neighbors may have for not dong so.
Those who ire afraid of being drafted are determined
in some way or other to avoid enlistment in the army of
the Republic. Many of our own citizens are ttM at
tempting to quit the city, end great desire is oxpres'-od t»
visit country seats never betore dreamt of.. They are,
of course, of the opinion ihatthey are doing the best for
themselves .under the circntustances, but they are sadly
inisieken. Wherever they go to the United States they
are liable to.be drafted at any time, as much s > as they
would ho here. Bcßldeß tbis, thoße who are deteotrd in
taking “ French leave ” will bejrroogto. back and made
io serve their country, whether drafted or cot.
