Call for Volunteers.—The President of the
United States has issued a call for Three Hundred
Thousand Volunteers. Time is given until the sth
of January, 1804. to fill up the number. If tbty
are not raised by, that time, a draft to . ftll up the de
ficit will then take place. A large bounty is offered
by the Government to these volunteers and we
have no doubt it Will be further increased by State,
and County bounties. Each county and each town
ship even, should ascertain its quota, and try by
liberal inducements and strenuous efforts, to obtain
the required number. There are 'so many who ob
ject to drafting, who now will have an oppor
tunity to enter the service by their free will and
choice, or encourage others Co do so. The ranks of
our armies will then be filled, and we may look for
ward to a speedy termination of the war and con
sequent crushing of the rebellion,
Newspaper Law —As there is certain de
finite laws in relation to the rights of publishers of
newspapers, which do not seem to be understood,.
we will endeavor to make a plain synopsis of them
and solicit attention thereto.
1. A Postmaster is required to give notice /w /et
ter, (returning a paper does not answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the office, and state the reasons for it no being
taken ; and a neglect to do so makes the Post Master
responsible to the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper from the post
office—whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for
the pny,
3..11 a person orders his paper discontinued, ho
must pay all arrearnges or the publisher may con
tinue to send it until payment is made. and.collect
the whole amount whether it is taken from the otitde or
not.. There can be no legal discontinuanes until the
payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his piper to he stop
ped at a certain time and the publisher %ant limes to
send, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if Ire takes
iv out of the post office. The law proceeds onAho
ground that a man must pay for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the post office, or
removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facia evidence of intentional fraud.
