IST We notice that a new enrollment is about to be made in some districts, in this state. It is said that one will be made in this district immediately. No fair draft can be made without it, for two reasons. The first is that an honest enrollment Ins never been made, In many districts. Secondly; great chaDges have taken place in regard to the number of those liable to military duty, siDce the last enrollment. We have protest, ed, from the beginning, against a draft under ti e old partial and dishonest enrollment ; and vre are not prepared to say that we shall very heartily endorse a draft undur the new. But, by all means, let a new one be made. The War. The army of tbe Potomac has been largely reinforced. Gen.

THE NKW TAX LAW.—The Pennsylvania Legislature, before its adjournment, passed a new State Tax LAW, taking the tonnage of all Railroads and Transportation Companies of tbe State, two cents, per ton on the pro ducts of mines • three cent* per ton on the product* of farms, and fixe cents per ton 011 manufactures and all other ar tides. Additional taxes are also imposed upon Banking an 1 Saving I lslitotions, and all other Companies not payings tax on div idends under existing laws. The {Revenue Board is abolished. Tha new law, it is esti mated, will give an increase of revenue to the amount of $7D0,000 a year. to- ; __ The Pennsylvania Reserves* We observe in some of our exchanges, a disposition to malign the character of the Pennsylvania Reserves, because of their do tnanding their discharge from the array. This is altogether unjust. The Reserves are rlhtitled*to high and honorable mention. At iht earliest Kistoy of the war, they were organized under the State laws and sworn in for three years fur State Defence , with the understanding that they would be taken out Of the State only from necessity, and when called on to do so by the President, for the safety of the State, and the preservation of the Union and the Constitution. Tliey start ed out npen a high and noble cause, with a P r inaptitude and alacrity seldom witnessed obejed the call 0/ the President j they par ticipated in all the hard fought battles d the Virginia campaigns, and though the object of the war has changed from a war to preserve lb# Union to a war to free and equalize the negroes with the whites, they filled up the contract of three years without a murmur ; asking to be seni home only at the expiration of the terra of their enlistment* They de serve honor for the last act as they did for tlie first, exhibiting in doing so a manly de terpjinaton to maintain their dignity as .cit-1 Mans of a republic— Columbia Democrat.

After the ihumb screws had been applied, he said his name was James Hunt, gave the name and number of the regiment to which he belonged, and where he enlist ed.— Evening Journal of Monday. We luve copied, without comment, from the E\ening Journal, occasional notices of the cruel and degrading punishments to which soldiers in the Barracks here are sub jected ; and which the Journal paraded as evidences of vigor. The above account, bow ever, exceeds the measure of silent toleration. Thisjman Johnson was subjected to the ter rible tortuie of the Thumb Screw, to nuke him disclose to what regiment he bclonged (he had beta arrested ou a vague suspicion of desertion.) and where he coneealed his bounty money. It was this inquiry after tha money that prompted the torture. The prisoner refused to reveal ; aud the thumb •crews were applied ! We ueed not describe the terrible machinery, by which au agoniz |ed and mutilated being is forced into the utterance of confessions as to himself, and accusations against others. If he does not reveal—if he has nothing to reveal—the tightening pressure, crusLing the flesh and, lacerating the most sensitive nerves i:i the frame, goes on till brain and heart give away and some story is uttered, true or false which makes the torturers pause.

Mr DEAR MARTHA :—This is the 12th day since wc broke catnp at winter quarters and ! commenced active campaigning. We cross ed .he Rapfdan at Jaoub's Ford (or mil!) the afternoon of the first day out from camp, , with little opposition, although the army | were strongly eutrenched o:t this bink of the river. The rebs made their first serious i opposition in the neighborhood of mine run. J which point was reached early in the morn ing of the sih. Here we had most desperate tighliog for three days and nights, when WJ finally succeeded in turning the enemy's i right and obliged him to fall back to a more i tenable position. Since then we have been | constantly manceuvering and fighting, with I the enemy, in strong force, always in our j front. Thus far, we have made every posi , tion they have taken up too hot, to hold the i rebs, but they have desperately contested ev | ery inch of ground, and every advantage that , jje liave gained has cost us heavily. Ail that | this army has viffcied and endured and the desperate bravery with which it has met and | overcome equally desperate bravery, w il, I perhaps, never be fully appreciated—has cer , tainly ucver been equalled, in this or any j other war. Just think of ten days an 1 nights almost incessant strife ! Imagination ciun.t i conceive the horrors attending it. So far, ; the tide ol'battle has been decidedly in our favor, but the enetny still display a bold fr> nt : and evince little disposition to give up the ! fight. It has rained every day, with the excep tion of to day, since Wednesday morning and this has added not a little to our distress. Wc have laid in the mud and rain and slept as soundly as or. beds of down, and as too' the din of battle was not all ar <uri i us There was but little fighting yes crday ami has been none of any moment thus far to lay • but we are in position and expecting an ad vance every moment. How it will all termi nate God alone knows; but I hope and trust that our arms will, in the end, prove victo rious. Our losses have beoii very heavy, but the re-ir.f reements constantly c uuim* up probably keep the army up to its maxi mum. My clothes have been Vet ever ?;;ice it commenced raining and have never felt *_> up comfortable ii> ail my life, and yet my bodi ly health ia net in the least, impaired but am stouter and more robust than I ever rec ollect to Lave been. I have nut the rem ;tcst idea when, or where or how this letter will reach y >n; v we have had no mail running since the first day after we crossed the Rtpidan. This is a beautiful and well cultivated country. We are It ing in position in a vciy fine apple oteharJ, where the gra-s is knee deep—have just been relieved from p'eket by another battery and will probably hive little to do until to morrow,except an emergency should call us to some other point along the line. Our battery is brass 12 pounder guns —extreme range 1080 yards, and effective fur canister at from 300 to 500 yds. I often wish we had the nfL d iron guns, when we Could lay off a couple of indes and shell the reb lines at our leisure. I have been in some pretty hot places within tlie past few days, but am yet, thank God, without a scratch.— Whether I get safely through the trial* vet to ccuie is a mattci for the future yet to de teruiine ; but I hope to and trust that this battle may be a decisive one and end the war. CLINT. WHAT IS THE WAR CONDUCTED FOR ?—On Monday last, Mr. Dawson, of this State, off ered a resolution in Congress, to the tflVc' that, as had been declared by Congress in 1861, the war was conducted not for the purpose of subjugation or conquest, but to restore the supremacy of the Constitution and the Union, therefore it was highly pro per that in the hour of triumph and exulta tion of victory we shall tender the olive branch of peace ?s an exchange for the sword and that the President be required to make a proclamation of amnesty to any State which should lay down its arms and withdraw from the RehvHioh, with a guaranty that such State should be left to reorganize and deter mmo ita own institutions without dictaC n or interference from the government of the United States. On motion of Mr. Meyers, an Abolition member from Philadelphia, this resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 76 yens to 53 nays. Now, if the war is not carried on for tne restoration of the Union, we would ike our Abolition friends to tell the people what they are. spilling their blood and spend ing their treasure fur ? Let it be remember ed that 70 abolitionists declared, by their votes in Congress, on Monday last, that this war is not prosecuted for the restoration of the Union and tho supremacy of the Consti tution. ' Now AND THEN.— TUrto years ago the Abolitionists and War Democrats in Con gress endorsed Mr. Crittenden's celebrated resolution, which declared that the war was not for the subjugation of the people of the south. Now, they censure Mr. Harris, of Maryland, lor hoping that "the south would never be subjugated." Iu other words, tliey censure this gentleman for say lug that which they by solemn enactment had res'jlvod ought nut to bo.— Ex. The abolition policy is not only subjuga tion, but extermination, aud not only south , but iu the North. They would exteiminate •11 who do not endor-e their treason. The Burning of Wilmington, X. C. HEADQUARTER s, DISTKTCT or NORTH CARO LINA, NEWBERN. N. C. May 3.lßs4—General Orders No. s—While the troops of this com mand may exult and take just pride in their many victories over the enemy, yet a por tion of tlieui hare, within a few days, been guilty of an outrage against humanity which brnigs the blush of shame to Die cheek of every true man and soldier. It is well known that during the late evac uation of Washington, North Carolina, that town was fired, and nearly, if not entirely, consumed, thus wantonly rendering home less and homeless hundreds of poor women and children, (many of fhem the families of soldiers in our own army,) and dearroying the last vestige of the once happy homes of those men who have now given up all to serve theii country in her hour of peril. And this was done by men in the military servico of the United States. It is also well known that the army van dals did not even respect the charitable insti tuuons, bat bursting open the doors of the Masonic and Odd Fellows' Lodges, pillaged them both and hawked about ths streets the regalia and jewels. And this, too, by United States troops. It is well known, too, that bo.h public and private stores were entered and plundered, and that devastation and plundered, and that deraatatian aud destruc tion ruled the hour. The Commanding General had, until this time, believed it l.mpossiple that any troops in his command could have committed no dis graceful an act as this which now blackens the fair fame of the Army of North Carolina, lie finds, however that he was sadly mistaken; and that the ranks are disgraced by men who are not soldiers, but thieves and scoundrels, dead to all sense of honor and humanity, for whom uo punishment can be too severe. The Commanding General is well aware whoft troops were in the town of Washing lon when lha flames flr-t appeared. He knows what troops last left that place. 110 knows that in the ranKS of only two of the regiments in the district of North Carolina the culpi 's now stand. To save the reputa tion ofthe command it is hoped that the guil ty parties may be ferreted out by the officers who were in Washington at the time of the c e occurrences. This order will be re el at the head of ev ery regiment and detachment in this com mand, at dress parade, on the day succeeding its receipt, and at the head of the 17t/i Massacfi'nel t* Volunteers and the 15 th Con necticut Volunteers, at dress parade, every day for ten consecutive days, or until the guiDy parties are found. By command of Brig Gen* L. N. Palmer. J. A. JIDSO.V, Ass't Adj't Gen. Shall we have Another Change. Four years ago in June tlie Presidential campaign, which resulted in Mr. Lincoln's election, had been opened. The Republicans were then buicr'y opp sing tlie administra tion, and asking fr a change. The Demo crats believed and proc'aimo*d that if the Re publicans were surces-ful, with the principles which they then held, that we would have a dissolution and civil war. The rep; biicans were successful and war an l disunion came a* % natural consequence—not from prejudg ed results—but from the secti mal and rev >1 utionary nature of republican principles. It was impossible for an administraiioh en their Pl; tt*>rm to carry on the government under the Conslitutio; , and the alternative of di.-- union and civil war, or of an abandonment of their prit oipb s, was presented. They pre ferred the f -finer, and throwing A'II else to chance and fate, they have for three years been developing their hidden designs—revol utionizing the nation, and sinking the coun try into almost hopeless anarchy and woe.— Rivers of blood, mountains of debt, burden some taxation, unsettled commerce inflated paper currency, and prices unlimited and ex traordinafy, are among the fearful trophies of their bid policy and misrule while odious conscription, a shattered Constitution, liber ty in chains, and unparalleled corruption, stand prominent in the catalogue of crimes which have sprung up under their partizan use of unbridled power. We are now stand ing again where freemen have a right to choose, and the choice is not one of men, for practically men are nothing further than the principles by which they are guided. The choice now is between liberty and despotism —between self preservation and self- destruc tion—between that old peaceful and happy order of things, when heaven's iicbest bless ings were showered upon us, and times like these, when the very engiuery of hell seems to bo let loose upon us. If Mr, Lincoln should be re-elected then may freemen bid farewell to a free country, and prepare them selves to become taxriden, serfs and slaves.— But can u be that those who have tasted the sweet blessings of the past cau desire a con tinuance of this awful present or the continu ation of further ruin, to satisfy the speculat ing theories of the inexperienced and ignor ant madmen now ia power.— Sunbury Den octal.
