The capable Richmond correspondent
“ Dixie,” of the Appeal, writes that the
signature of the President having been af
fixed to the bill abolishing all substitutes
in the army, the same has become a law,
and the result has been a regular exodus
of the Israelites in every direction. All
Broad street is shutting up its shops and
packing up its goods and chattels. The
roads to the Potomac are quite filled with
the fugitives. Enormous sums have been
paid to the drivers of city carriages for
transportation to the border. One hack
wau, it is reported, makes periodical trips
to the lower Rappahannock, receiving five
hundredvdollars for euch passenger. ’ But
not only the Jews are ia commotion. Ap
plications are becoming more and more nu
merous at the War Department for leave
to visit Europe, ou various pretexts of the
Government business, of ill health, of pub
lic agencies, etc., etc. But the class-whicli
raises the loudest outcry at the abolition of
the substitutes system in the gamblers.
All of these gentry within the ages of
conscription have put' in substitutes. * In
the majority of cases they have guarded
against the desertion of their substitutes,
•by getting them detailed for some special
Government «ark -Now that, all princi'
pals, are called upon t£ an tor the army,
they are clamorous over what is to them,
of course, always a paiful thing—bad faith.
The Government has played them false,
them who never played false to anybody.
They are going to test the law before the
courts, they say. Any sum of money that
is required can be and will be brought for
ward to try'the constitutionality of the ob
noxious law.

H’d-q’rs Morgan’s Cavalry, }
Dkcatur, Ga., Jan. 1,.18G4. J
Soldiers : I am once more among you,
after a long and painful imprisonment. *
I am anxious to be again in the field.
I, therefore, call on all the soldiers of my
command to assemble at once at the rendez
vous which has beeu established at this
place.
, Your country needs your services, the
field of operations wide, and the future glo
rious, if we only deserve it.
Remember bow many of your bravo
comrades are still pining in a felon’s cell.
They call loudly on you for help. They
expect it of you. Will you. disappoiut
them ?
Come at once, and come cheerfully ; for
I waut no man in my command who has
to be sent to his duty by a Provost Mar
shal. B
The work before us will be arduous, and
will require brave hearts aud willing hands.
Let no man falter or delay, for no time is
to be lust. Every one must bring his
horse and gun who can. Those who Cau
. not will have them furnished.
John H. Morgan,
Brigadier General I*. A. C. S.

Acting A. A. General.
Newspapers have always been a moral,
social, political, commercial, agricultural
and military necessity, and to put an end
to them by conscvibing those who carry
them on would be like extinguishing the
gas lights in the midst of a grand dramat
ic performance; it would unquestionably
be to extinguish a very great light in the .
midst of the terrible drama in which we
are now iuvolved.
But there need be no fear that violent
hands will be laid upon the press. Its
usefulness, its power to do good, its habit
of doing good, its wido spread influence
in sustaining and upholding our great
cause, and the necessity the newspaper has
become to the soldier, as well as the citizen,
all combine to secure it against molestation
from those w hose duty it is to augment
the ranks of the army.— Atlanta Register.
* c, -<*- « : •
The Bureau of Conscription, under in-,
etruclions from the War Department, has
determined, with reference to mail con
tractors, “ that the eauso of exemption
should exist at the time that military ser
vice is claimed. If a person otherwise
subject to conscription, before or at the
time of enrollment, claims exemption by
reason of being such a mail contractor &s
is mentioned iu the Act, exemption must
not be refused, even though the contract
was obtained since the passage of the act.
If the contract is obtained before the en
rollment, tb.e party virtually becomes a
member of the army, and a release ’ from -
service is of the nature of a discharge from
the army, which is not contemplated in the
Act of Congress.”

The Legislature of Alabama has, as we
learn, passed an act making it compulsory
on the officers of railroad trains to have
the cars properly warmed, and duly sup
plied with water for the fise of the passen
gers. This is r.ot unworthy of the atten
tion of our Legislature. There are frequent
and just complaints of neglect in these re
spects, from which passengers iu general,
and invalid soldiers in particular, suffer
extremely. No doubt it is more truble
some, and cost more to furnish these accom
modations at the present time, than was
the case formerly ; but tbo railroads are
making great dividends, and are not re
quired by any necessity for economy to
withhold those comforts from their passen- v
gers.

To, become conscious of all the peril, toil
