The Peace Delusion. —Very reoently,
in (be United States Senate, Mr. Sauls
bury, of Delaware, said that it was a de.
luaion that peace was near at hand—a
delusion oft repeated about Bixty days
and nine'y days. Charleston and Sa
vannah, and Columbia might fall, and
Richmond might fall, but still the war
would not end. There were years of war
before this country under the-policy of
the present administration. And heads
ded—“lt appeared from the President’s
message that the obstacles to peace were
the lerins he offered—refusing to treat
with rebels. It should be romeinbered
iwu ito Drdtieh lost, their American col
onies because Georg*lll refused to treat
with rebels ia arms against him.’’
Grant vs. Lee.— While at Washing
ton the other day, General Grant in the
exuberance of his spirits, declared to a
member of Congress that if ihe Yanlioe
Government would only furnish him one
hundred thousand fresh troops he would
end the war in three months. We do
not betray confidence when we say,
per contra, that General Lee thinks that
if he is only furnished with the number
of reinforcements he asks for and which
the Confederacy can easily furnish, that
the war will be ended in a very short
period. We will see who is right.
Cleburne's Old Regiment. —This
regiment from Arkansas the one so ably
commanded by the lamented Cleburne
now numbers three hundred men. At
the beginning of the war twelve hundred
gallant soldiers were in its ranks. The
regiment will not be consolidated. It
will retain its separate organization in
honor of its former distinguished honor.
The regiment has won an indulging fame
upon many battle fields. It is to be
mounted.
Destruction of Nkt/srapers. —Tho i
enemy have made sad havoc among the i
newspapeis of the South recently. The i
offices captured and destroyed or confis
cated include the Savannah Republican
and News, the Charleston Mercury and
Courier, the Columbia Guardian and
Carolinian, the Goldsborough Journal,
and the Wilmington alournal—all first
class dailies. This docs not include as
many weeklies and job offices.
Supreme Court of Alaeal-a.— The
order made on the Bth of November,
1864, by this Court, appointing the first
Thursday in each month for the bearing
of the writp -cf habeas corpus, certiorari
and prohibition, has been set aside and
rescinded.
West Point and Atlanta Road. —T.'io .

porter, oommenoed running to Atlanta
yesterday. Leave Atlanta at 7:30 a. in.,
and arrive in West Point at 5;30 a. m.,
and arrive in Atlantaat2:3s p. m. Trains

The Supreme Court adjourned its ses
sion in Macon on Friday. Its next
meeting will be in Atlanta; Hon. Judge
Lumpkin was not present duriDg the ses
sion of the Court in this city.
A short time since..the “Union” men of
Memphis were making preparations to
get up a “grand reception banquet” for
Brownlow.
The Absconding Cashier. —Tho
party referred to yesterday, in our morn
ing issue as having made an attempt to
reach Savannah, was Milo Hatch, long a
resident of this plaet, and occupying
the responsible position of Cashier itwtho
Mechanics’ Bank, which is used as tho
Government Depositary, its President
being our worthy and well known fellow
citizen, Mr. Thos. 8. Metoalf. Wo are
thus particular in giviDg theee facts,
that justice may be done. The paragraph
of our “local” was mere street rumor.
We have examined into the matter and
state the facts, and trust that our ex
changes who copy the rumor will also
copy this.
Mr. Hatch was desirous of sending his
wife to the North. He procured a pass
from Gov. Brown, which he thought
sufficient to permit him to go to Sxvan
nah. He went upon it, carrying only
three trunks. He made no secret at
Waynesboro’, so we are informed, that
he was en-route for Savannah, and he
left Waynesboro’ at 12 o’clock on Monday
and stopped for the night 3G miloa south
of that place, where during the night Re
was arrested and returned to this city.
On his arrival at Gen. Fry’o office here,
his papers were examined and he was
released What were the motives in
ducing the action has not concerned
us—these are the facts.— Aug. Const.,

The Force to Confront Sherman. —
The Times’ Washington special claims to
have accurate information as to the num
ber of the rebel force that can be brought
against Sherman. Beauregard superce
ded Ilardee, wheu that General left, Sa
vannah, and took his foroe of 8,000 ef
fective men, while Hardee went to
Charleston, where there was notovor two
brigades. These have „sinc3 probably
joined Beauregard at Wilmington, Bragg
had not exceeding 6,000 men, principally
Hoke’s division. They have fallen back
towards Goldsboro,’ between Wilmington
and Weldon. General Baker had a brig
ade not over 3,000 s'roug ti Salisbury.
About two regiments were stat-cncd there
gurding prisoners.
The force that Beauregard co-old con
centrate does not esoeed 22,000- He has .
cavalry sufficient, perhapp, to swell his \
force to 30,000. If Sherman forms a
junction with Schofield, as he undoubt
edly will, it is safe to eay his force will
be far superior to that of Beauregard’s
concentrated etreagth and th3 aid h«.
may get from Richmond.
The Big Black was higher ou the sth

CCLMBUB, GA,, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1355.
Which Authority is Right. —Mr.
Kinglakc, in the debate in ihe English
Parliament uptn (he Queen’s speech, said
last July the head of tho government de
clined to recognise Maximilian, because
matters are still •.’.ncertair. ia Mexico,
and war was still going on. A few
months after the recognition waa granted.
Shortly after tho recognition, the Presi
dent of the United States in his message
to Congress stated the war.was still going
on. Here, then, were two oppsoing au
thorities her Majesty’s Government re
oognizing Mexico because the war was at
an end, and the President of the United
States informing the world that tho war
was still going on. It. was true Monte
rey, whero Juarez had his headquarters,
was lost and that Mnzatlan also had been
taken, but on the other hand Aoapulco
had been won by the Mexicans. A.lmost
the whole of the southern part of Mex
ico was held by the natives. The poo-,
pie of the United Stales had a feeling,
which, although it. did not appear to bo
based cu a sight principle, was yet enter-
IjiinoA by4Uq pegple of Qsp United Stales
with au enthusiasm which was hardly
to be surpassed —(ho feeliug to uphold
what was called the Monroe doctrine,
and which doctrine taught that at any
sacrifice the American soil was to bo
kept from European aggression.

For Letter Writers —lt m»y cause
many letters to reach their destination,
if the writers know that a “stampodpn
velope” will not carry a letter from any
post office, except from that one at which
it is Btamped. Postage stamps aio very
scarce—especially in country offices.
Finding it impossible to procure them,
many parties get a number of envolopes
stamped at an office, and. drop their let
ters in other offices —thinking the mails
will carry them, as tho postage has been
paid. The consequence is their letters
never budge. For instance a letter,
without a postage stamp), but having on
it the mark of anolher office signifying
that tho Eiailage has been paid for, if
dropped into the Coiumbus Post office
will never leave the city by mail, uules3
the party has it reet'amped here. A
good many letters are now in the Colum
bus office for this reason.
Remember that letters marked “paid’
are mailed only from tho offices where
they are so marked.
. Able to Demolish ant F’ort.—Com
modore Porter, shortly after the fall of
Fort Fisher, boasted that with his iron
olads he could ley any British port under
contribution. Mr. Blakely, the inventor
of the celebrated gun which bears his
name, has written a letter to tho London
Post, in which he says there was not a
gun at Fort Fi3her, powerful enough to
‘sink an ironclad ship. Tho most effec
tive gun carried a one hundred and thir
ty pound shell. These guns are more
powerful than any gun on an English
fort or ship excepting one. "It follows
then that the fket (Porter’s) could-at
tack Portsmouth or Plymouth with more
impunity than Fort Fi6her so far as arv
tilery fire is concerned.
Newspapers Exempts. —From a mess
sage of President ilavis, read in Con
gress, on tho 23d learn that in
tho cis-Missis3ippi department the total
number of editors, exempt a3 ouch, be
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
five, is one hundred and twenfyatliree,
and of newapapor employees six hundred

Os these, the Appeal furnishes one.
Yankee Prisoners.—A late Yankee
paper rays the prisoners are iemoved
from Cahawba to Enterprise, Alabama.
The prisoners are fed high and have o
good time. The officers have been pa
roled and are quartered in the town and
vicinity and report at stated intervals.
They spend, says* an exchanged officer,
their time in hunting deer, wild turkey
and other game. An Indiana Lieutenant
in January married a beautiful but very
rebellious young lady, daughter .of a
wealthy planter. Alabamians treat pris
oners more kindly than any other portion
of the Confederacy.
Capacity of European Churches.—
Allowing four persons to every square
yard, St. Peter’s will hold 54,000 peo
ple; tho Milan Cathedral 37,000; St.

Cure For. Botts is HoR3E3.— An
old farmer sends us the following sim
ple curs for the botts, or grubs, in ;
horses. He sayc he has had occasion to I
try it within tbe last few days, and '
knows it is efficacious for that disease.
It is simply to drench the animal with a
quart of buttermilk. Tho philosophy
of it is that the grubs wilt rake immedi
ately to the milk, fill themselves, and
thus relieve the horse. This suggestion
is made with the hope that the cavalry,
who. poor fellows, might bo tempted to
drench their owr. crnpiy stomachs, may
profit by it.
The amount cf exports from the United King
dom of Great Britain last year, amounted to £IK
-000,000 a sum that had never been reached be
fore.
Alabama nml Mississippi.
Our Generas. —Gens. Forrest, Chal
mers and Starke were in Columbus Mies.,
on tho let inst.
Qen. Forrest, says the Tribune, with
his characteristic energy and dispatch,
is rapidly putting hia military house in
order. Gen. Taylor is doing the same
thing. But the people should come to
the aid of these leaders and concentrate
every onergy and every availablo means
of defense and offense to strengthen i heir
hands for the impending conllict.
Yankees sear Tupelo.— The Colum
bus (Miss ) Clarion Extra, of the 9th,
says the Yaukae forces, six thousand or
seven thousand men, wctc r»t Guntown
and in the immediate vicinity of Tupelo,
three days ago. It is said that a strong
force, with an immense wagon train, is
moving from the direction of Huntsville
on this point.. Qen. Lyon’s brigado is
nearest the enemy, advancing from Tu
pelo. Forrest is in motion.
Since writing the above, we have seen
a private dispatch, stating that, a small
Lu ce .of sage • enemy who advancing from
Saltillo, and that Armstwong’n brigad*.
was moving to meet it.
Fbom Eastport.— Thomas has about
five thousand cavalry at Eastport waiting
for Canby, who cannot move until the
roads gat dry. Forrest will speedily
dispose of the cavalry, and Canby will
find moro than his match in the Red
river boro and Dabney Maury.
A Large Fleet. —The fleet that car
ried Gen. A. J. Smith’s forces from East
port down the Mississippi and Tennessee
numbered fifty-six steamers, and the
list boforo us embraces the names of
many of the finest on the rivers.
Ueoruitino.—At Huntsville, Nashville
and PQlaßki, Thomas has opened offices
especially to receive deserters. A num
ber of Roddy’s men are said to have
availed themselves of Thomas’proclama
tion and reported.
Mobile —Tho Advertiser, of tho 12ili, says :
Yesterday tho movements of tho <nemy below
demon stinted a good lively fight about Mobile.
The uppor fleet tvas largely increased yesterday,
and we tiear that additional vorsols are being
constantly added. It isovidont that the hour of
trial for Mobilo tins now come, and It bohooves
every man to take up his gun and fight. This
is no time for cowards and skulkers. Croakers
and grumblers should cense th it- gabbing, and
act as becomes men, not as women. All tho fuutt
finding in the world will do no good, while a few
good honest shots at the enemy wilt accomplish
more than Royal utroet tall of croaking homo
generals. Wo have good oliicora, and ft is worse
than criminal not to enatnin them. Lot alt ho of
one heaft and one mind that remains 4n Mobile,
for wo do sincerely hope that Gen. Maury will
tako the “hull by the horns,” and send out of tho
city, or to prison, every person who may counsel
demoralization and strive to impair public confi
dence.
to far aj our iuformatiou extends there are
tweuty-ouo vessels on Dog liver hat-; twclvo of
them gunboats, tho balance tin clads and tenders.
They may open fire at any tiiao, either to fool our
batteries or attempt their capture.
Tho hostile fleet fired l.oVera! shots at tho east
ern and western shoro. home of the shells felt
at the Magnolia raco coume. and one. .« them
pt.tyed sad havoc with aafablo.
Railroads. —Tho Mondial* Clarion, of Ftbrnary
28tb, says tho Mobile road North in in mooing
order, and trains run'Trom this place to Wist
Poiat lri-weekly. Trains will probably go to
Jackson in two or three days; to Mobil j iu /our or
five and to Solma nezt week.
Good News.—'Gen. Porrostf has made arrange
ments for the speedy exchange of a large number
of prisoners at luka,Miss.
From Florida.
Incidents of the Battle. —The Tal
lahasße Floridian and Journal has the
folio winy additional items concerning tho
battle lately at tho Natural Bridge:
The enemy were commanded by Gen
eral Newton. ■*
Two deserters were shot, after trial by
Court Martial, who were captured in
Yankee uniforms. Ono of them was re
cognized as the man who shot the Adju
tant of the 2d Florida cavalry at the time
of his desertion.
Col. J. J. Daniel had a leg aud arm in
jured by a fall from liis horse.
The number es tho enemy were vari
ously estimated at from 1,400 to 2,000,
four hundred cf whom were whites,
) among them about 100 deserters.
The Kilcrease Artillery, Capt. Patrick
umi xiunnam's battery, Capt.
.Dunham, acted in the most gallant style,
dealing death and destruction to tho in
vaders, and contributed largely to the
result of the battle.
The Cadets from the Florida State Sem
inary weroin the fight, and behaved in
the most gallant manner. Their praise
is on the tips of all who took, nart iu the
fight.
Twentyrfour prisoners were brought
to this city last Wednesday evening. Two
white ami the balance negroes. One of
the whites is a Lieutenant.
A citizen of Newport, who was taken
prisoner during their retreat and held
until their re embarkation, to prevent his
giving information, says that the Yankees
admitted a loss of 400 in the late battle.
They carried off most of their wounded.
We are indebted to Col. G. W. Scott,
for the following list of casualties among
the Yankee officers. Every officer en
gaged in the fight at Natural Bridge was
either killed, wounded, or taken prisoner:
Killed: Lieut. Col. Pearsoll, Mnj. Lin
coln, Adjutant General of the command,
Captains Traoy and Carpenter, Lieuts.
Murphy and Moora.
Wounded: Brig. Gen. John Newton,
in the arm end thigh; Col. Townsend, I
mortally.
A Valuable Present. —We learn Gnat |
on Col. G. W. Scott’s return from the
scene of tho late battle, on Thursday, he
was presented by Mr. Green A. Chaims,
of this city, with a valuable horse as a
token of his appreciation of Col. Scoit’s
most valuable services as nn officer and
soldier. We chronicle the fact, with pride
and gratification. 'lt is a generous offer
ing to a most worthy and meritorious of
ficer and gentleman.
Belle Boyd.— The Liverpool Couri er,
of the 4th, says Bello Boyd is in that
I city in distress and an appeal is ma<!e
public sympathy and pecuniary as- |
eistauce. Her husband, Le Harding, i6 a
prisoner in Federal hands. She has

Points Bedded by iho Supremo Cotsrl

Cobb vs. Black, Habeas Corpus.
1. In nn equity case, the Judge hav
ing, under tko Cede, appointed a receiv
er in vacation, and erdored the defendant
to turn over to Kim the assets in dispute,
may also in vacation, enforce obedience
to order by attachment for coutompt.
2. Such attachment is not privitive
merely, but remedial, and therefore the
imprisonment of the party under it may
endure so long as the party continues
disobedient. The limitation fixed by the
Code to tlio lorm of imprisonment for
contempt generally, are not applicable.
Ilaß vs. Tlio Stato. Simple larceny.
1. When the prisoner owned n cow
similar to the one which the indictment
charged him with stealing, and the ques
tion was whether he had by mistake and
in good faith taken and disposed of Ihe
Ihe latter believing it to have been the
former, ovidcuco is admissible to show
that some time after the irausuctibu he
wont lo the other owner and said that tho
cow taken was his, ho, the prisoner, had
made a mistake, and then offered to pay
and did pay thh other for it.
2. The verdict in Ihis case was con
trary to tho evidence.

The distributees of au eslaie clear of all

her death tho entire estate shall belong
to Iho other distributees; aud though
such agreement be made orally aud never
reduced to writing, it will be enforced by
a Court of Equity after the life interest

Parker vs. Kaufman 1 ~ . ~
Clerk vs. } Habeaß ( ’ orpU3 -
1. The power of Congress lo raise ar
mies by Conscription imot restricted in
men able for aclive service in Ihe field,
but extends to such also as though tum
ble for that service are capable of per
forming the duties of “provost or hos
pital guards or clerks, of clerks,
guards, agents, employees, <i- laborers in
the commissary’s, quartermaster's, or
ordnance department, or of clerks or
employees of navy agents, or tho duties
requisite in the execution of Ihe enroll
ments acts, or other similar duties.”
The Bth section of the not of .February
17th, 1864, entitled l‘ an act to organize
forces to serve during the war, is there
fore Constitutional.”
2. In executing that section of the act
it is necessifry that the report of tho
Board of Surgeons should spoeify the
particular duly for which each man is
capable—a report in general terms that
the conscript is fit for light duty is not
sufficient, in admitrutenng the Mi’itary
Statutes of ihe country, a strict ccuform

Co-art vs. Williams—Ejectment.
A judgment establishing a copy of a
lost deed, rendered on notice to the heirs
at-law of the granter, but without notice
to jno claiming the land as decisive un
der his las'. wiU, is not conclusive
upon such devise, or upon those claimed

Rosecrans Wanderinu from Truth.
—Gen. Rotiecrsna is now on retirement
aud suspecting the cause of his removal
to be his reverse at Chickamauga, he
writes the following letter lo the editors
of the New York Advertiser. Rosey
was figuring finely aud ignores facts
altogether. Hear him:
Someone has furnished me a copy of
your issue of the 12th inst., containing
a very generous article ia reference to
my military service, for which 1 feci
none the less grateful, because, I doubt
not, was prompted by your interest in
the country’s welfare and your sense of
justice to those who have occupied promi
nent positions on trying occasions in her
service. ,
But the article contains a remark
about Chickamauga which is not strictly
just. To corre :i it, I. send you a pam«
phlet writton by (lie “Annals of the
OumliCM-land,” which RIVI r: a Correct aild
just-vietv of the battle of C’Ziictiamauga.
1 may add (hat, we have four independant
ways of arriving at ihe tact that we
fought against it terrible odds there.
1. Thm was tlie opinion of the corps
and division commanders, none of whom
were bad judges.
2. Tho enemy reports a loss of eigh
teen thousand seven hundred [18,700]
killed and wounded; and admits his loss
to have been twenty per cent, of his en
tire command—a very largo loss—which
gave him 94,500 at Chickamauga.
3. Bragg had 32.000 troops when driv
en from his entrenched camp at Shelby
ville and Tullahoma across t he mountains
and the Tennessee; Buckner joined with
him about 10,000 troops from East. Ten
nesgee, Johnston with about 25,000, and
Longsireet with about 25,000 more, giv
ing a gain 92,000 as his whole foroe.
4. Gen. Grant and several subordinates
estimate the force we fought at. Mission
Ridge at from 4,000 to 5,000 Add 25,000
for Longstreet’s army, which had pre
viously left and was then in front of
Knoxville, aud 18,000 for those put hors
du combat at Chickamauga, and it gives
88,500.
- 6. A Union merchant, of Chattanooga,
who was at Marie.lta when the foe waß
advancing on us, tried to send me word,
and subsequently saw and told me that
the enemy had reinforced Bragg with
30,000 under Longsireet, and 25,000 un
der Joe JohnSton, in addition to which
Governor Brown had 15,000 Georgia mi
litia ; and so confident were they of
overwhelming us that the Kentucky and j
Tennessee rebel refugees-at Marietta had i
hired conveyances aud loaded' their *
household goods, expecting to follow j
their vicorious hosts bans into Tenuet- !
see and Kentucky.
1 could add much more corroborative |
evidence to show that tho brave and de*- !
voted Army of the Cumberland sustained
and successfully resisted the utmost
power of a velcrau rebel army, fired with
a spirit of emulation and hops, and more
than one-half larger than itself; inflicted
on it much more damage than wc receivi and
and held Ihe coveted objective point
Chattanooga.
What we attempted wo accomplished
We took Chattanooga from a force nearly
as large as our own, and held it after
the enemy had been reinforced by as
many men as we had in our whole com
mand. w - s - Rosecrans,
MajorrGeneral.

LnsAmAM a lu.<hC’x—A correspondent
of the Mobile Advertiser giveß the fol
lowing brief r.tfoount of the march 0 f
Cheatham’s C -rps, from Augusta to New
berry, South -Carolina:
Our aarApfrom Augusta hss brought
us to this pIS-e. Tile enemy are well in
formod of thin, and also vrhat forqo we
have. Rumor says ho is marehing up
Broad river tq cut us off from llardcc.
Wo started from Augusta to go to Colum
bia, but Shormau, by auecessful feint
movemon's, outwitted us, and captured
Columbia before we conld concentrate
there aud startled this whore country by
tbe rapidity of his movomonts.
It is rumored that there were nothing
but cavalry at Columbia, whon Sherman’s
advance reaohod the plnco, and the cav
alry retreated through the city after burn
ing the bridges, stealing as usual, and
tearing up the track in falling back ; and 1
Coluuinia with all the blockade goads)
store! there, fell an easy pray into the
hands of tho enemy. While Foster was
attending to Hardee, and Osterhaus to i
Cheatham, Sherman pressing every ani.
trial, wagon ; all the forago and provis
ions in the ooun(ry, .struck Columbia
long Before he was expected.
The best marching done by any por
tion i the army of Tennesttee was done
«atr march from Augusta. No ctrags
is'i'Jfiwas perniittsoltbjsjany cause. The
Bluff officers of'TVgimentß helpal thesutlt
and brokeu down men on their horses.—
Some rascally stragglers were tied behind
wagons, and others carried rails on their
shoulders for throwing away their bay
onuls. Fortunately the roads and weath
er were both excellent. We crossed the
Saluda at night in a flat boat, and it was a
beautiul night scene. Tho river was
beautifully illuminated by largo fires on
both banks, and the loaded fiat boat,
floating over the dark waters of the
Saluda reminded one of tho pictures of
Washington crossing the Delaware.
The troops have a very vjholeeome fear
of Cheatham. They keep a sharp took
out for him along the line of inarch, if
1 they happen lo straggle into a turnip
patch, sit down, or fall behind in get
ting water, while tho-troops are moving.
The rule was to march fifty minutes
and rest ten. Tho longest distance we
made a day was twenty.three miles
Another hold Sfkeoii from Alexan
der Long. —Alexander Long has been
making another speech in tho Y’ankee
Congress on tho war. His former effort
will be remembered by evory one. Many
cf the Southern journals printed it. He
is as strong as ever in his advocacy of
recognizing the Bouth. lie thinksJhe
war wrong, and will, if not soon checked,
destroy the North and (he South. The
issue was independence or extermination.
Tho rivers of blood led to no harbor of
Union. They run through moiiutaineot
debt and valleys cf crime, ending in tho
slough of despair. The gospel of peace
had been exchanged for war, and tho
church cried out for moro blood. He
quoted Sheridan’s dispatch of destruc
tion in the Valley; the religious commu
nity demand the extermination of the
Southern people. Such a demand would
have been a stigma aud a shame in the
days of Atlila and Saladin. Mahome
tanism and Paganism would blush to
own it, if it was Christianity. At the ;
last session lie had fallen under thu con-
I sure cf the House for expressing his
* opinion on the war. Nothing h»d since
I occurred lo cailso him to take u. different,
view. The ermine of the judge and the
person of tho legislator were holple3s
before the bayonet of the successful
soldier. Led on by military glory, such
as Alexander, Ctcsur or Napoleon bad
always Btamped on the breath of popular
liberty. Look where he would, ho saw
demoralization of society. Was it out of
nuoh material gentlemen expected to
erect the arch of a reconstructed Union,
aud a violated Constitution 7 No artifi
cers were equal to the task. The Union
was gone, never to be restored. If the
gentlemen would save anything from tho
wreck, they must abandon tbq, war, re
cognize the independence of the States,
and begin tho work of reorganization
anew, in Ihe spirit of the men us 1776.
closed by saying that this was the last
time ho would raise his voice in debate
in the capitol. In looking back, he felt
a satisfaction in Ihe efforts he hud made
to Btay the effusion of fraternal blood.
Operations of the Conscript Bdb.bahJ
—On the 23d uli. President Davis re
sponded to a resolution, aud transmitted
to Congress a communication from the
Secretary of War relative to the . accetn
sions to the army from each State Biuee
April 10th, 1802, to the number of per
sons liable to conscription who have been
exempted or detailed, and to tho number
of tliuev betwoeu the ’ L e of 18 and 55,
and not unfitted for active service in the
field, who are employed in the service of
the several States.
The number of conscripts given in tho
report as having been enrolled and as
signed to the camps of instruction, since
April lOih, 1802; is 81,993. The in
crease of the army, however, by avoiding
camps of instruction aud joining com
mands voluntarily and otherwise, has
been in excess of the number.—
And this is also exclusive of the opera
tions of Gen. PiUow, of which the oon
script bureau had no account at that
time. IA Florida and Ea3t Louisiana,
the operations of the conscript law were;
suspended, and carried on under the I
direction of Gen. Cobb for sometime. !
The whole number of able bodied men j
fit for the active service in the field, who
have been detailed for service other than '
in the army, is only 7,733, in all the I
State this sido the Mississippi river. The|
whole number of persons between the 1
ages of 18 and 45 years, exempted from j
military duty from physical disability, j
officers of Confederal e and Slate govern- -
ments, and other causes, is 66,580 ; of 1
these 26,595 are exempted on account of I
physical disability, 17 887 as State
officers, and 437 as mail couti actors.
