To the Editor of Vie Examiner : ., ?SIR-J. beg leave to expose, fhrougb^your popular columns, an abuse-which has so far poss ed unobserved, or,. at least, - unheeded, and which, I thing, demands investigation. Congress has twed every possible lever to recruit our armies; the blind and .the. lame - and the halt, as well as the sound and able bodied, have been gathered from every cor ner of our young country, and thoso who . would not enlist voluntarily have been con . scripted. For the purpose of carrying the . sweeping conscription law into effect a spe cial bureau was organized, and it. was pre supposed that disabled med wcuid be assign ed to du^y as enrolling officers anti their sub ordina'es. V-jtx Mr.JEditor, in many inst anees it has been otherwise." I beg jeave. to state that I have wituessed, orr several occasions, disabhxl soldiers dragged up before a xon . script. board i>y aconscript girard who were themselves stout and able-bodied met?, and had, perhaps, never heard- but a very dis tant " I>oomjng of the guns,*' if at ai. lt is * a daily. occurrence to see or-hear strong, hearty; able-bodied soldiers sjiy, " I am upon conscript duty.*1 Cpnsoript agents, other wise known ny " enrolling officers," are, in a vast majority of cases, men'who could ''try the field'' without being hurt by if, anda majority of the m?n", or guard-?,- clerk*, and similar satellites are men who could berna le to shoulder a musket along side of our sol diers in the field,! without increasing their "rheumatic' or "misery in the back."-Could not th?se men'be sent to '"M ?s' Hob", and ' their vacancies be filled with officers and soldiers who are really disabled ? It is hard .ly necessary that aman should be acquaint ed with a majority of the residents in a coun ty to enable him.to become its enrolling offi cer; on the contrary, I 'think it would ad vance the interests of our Government if he and his agents knew no one. I do not wish you to think that I charge tho enrolling officers in th's section with par tially, for I know of no instance, personally, Whero anything like partiality has been ex hibited; Lat I do think, awl it is the unani mous opinion"of all with whom I. have con versed, that thesis mon should be ?objacted to a rieid examination by a medical board of undoubted integrity-, and rhpir places filled by those who are disabled.
