Take Lancaster District as a basis, which will hold good, I presume, for the entire Confederacy. There were about 00 persons left in the District liable to conscript lion, alter taking out the exempts, and these cost the Confederate States about $450,00, or about $7,50 per bead. For | the laborious duty of Eorolling lhese4?onscripts, there were appointed 4 officers, one with the rank and pay of Colonel? j $175 ,00 per month?with three assistant Enrolling officers, each of the rank and pay of 1st Lieutenant, say $90,00 per i month, which fools lip the little sum of i $450, in round numbers. -Each of these I, officers were in the pay of the Govern- ( ment for one month, but as this was Sam's \ business and Sam's money, of course no one has any right to complain. To have , transcribed all the Rolls and written out | Transportation, for CO men, supposing | that the Government bad furnished no | printed forms, would have taken a single , man of ordinary business habits, perhaps ( two days. Now I do not mean to say | that these 4 officers were actually engag j ed in this service for a whole month, but , that they were in the pay of the Govern- , ment for a full month is manifest, for the ( assistant Enrolling officers have received s their pay in cash?$90,00 each?which | it a sum nearly equal to the private sol | diers' pay for eight months. I do not j Know the number of Conscripts iu tbe , Slate, nor in tbe Confederate States, but < have understood that North Carolina bad i about 32,000. Now tins number ?t the | basis whicli I have adopted, ^7,50*per bead, would foot up the snug little sum ol $240,000. This sum of mooev would be $8,000 more than a Regiment, 1,000 strong, would get in 12 mouths, at privates pay. Is this right f I do not purpose following this train of .thought further than to show the absurdity of the Conscript Act. If one single State costs the Confederate States $240,000 to Enroll her conscripts, what, by the rules of simple proportion, will it cost to Enroll all the Conscripts in the Con- i federate States ? Any smart school boy can make the calculation, but can he get his enumeration right! If the volunteer | system had proved inadequate for the ex i igencies of the war, which I am not rea dy to admit, then the system of drafting should have been lesortedto. Each reg- i iment or brigade, as *.ho case may be, to furnish a proportion of men equal to the Dumber of men liable in each regiment or brigade from the ages of 18 to 45.? j By this means they could have b'.en call* ed out as the pressing exigencies of the war demanded, this might have been su-| perintended by the home militia officers, for unless they can figure in this way they will not have much service to perform, as they are held back by the joint notion of the five Governor*, from active participation in the first corps of Re- ' serves. Thus might this enormous sum of money, amounting in the aggregate to millions, have been saved, and added 06 to the $11 per Booth of the poor soldier, who is compelled by an extravagant and ungrateful Government to serve for this pittance, and tbi? aarae (Jovernmen"., auffaring the land abarka and exlorlionera to lake from bia wife and dependent chii- ! dren, wbom ha ia compelled to leave at lie tender mercies of these demands, &G,00 tor GO lbs of Flour. Verily it is iine the Government would commence he woik of reformation and that before t be too late. JUSTITI A. ^vor tiik lancastkr lkdqkr.j Mr. Editor.?As the birds of passage frequently open their wings and mount up and fly away to seek another abode, leaving behind there their favorite groves, where they have often purched and sang at morning dawn. So might at present be represented the soldiers life, and thus it has been with the "Catawba Hangers," and our Battalion ever since we left our sweet homes; we have found no place yet where we have made a long abode. In obedience to orders, we struck our tents atid took our flight from Grahamville, the place we were encamped when I last wrote to the Ledger. There were few, if any, who did not leave there with reluci tance. We had enjoyed good health during our stay, and we were fully convinced that it was a healthy location. The Railroad passed in a mile of us, which was a great convenience in many respects to the soldiers; we had the privilege of troing to the house of worship to hear the way of life explained, the loss of which few can appreciate until they are entirely deprived of this boon of life, which feeds and stimulates the soul of man. But as the word war seems to portray dupriva lions in ali its hideous forms ; so the soldier reuse yield to its demands and nerve himself to meet whatever may befall him. And here permit me to say that give litem an occasion*! shot with some j of our long ranged nflrs, which makes , thetn take the double quick, which you know is a favorite step with the Yankee boy*. Two moo belonging to our fiquadron brought in three of the enemy a low even- | ing* ago; they were in a small boat, and came up near to where our pickets were stationed on the river ; our men rose and presented their double barrels upon them which made the boys submit without any further ado. They were sent the next morning to the railroad, and of course to prison. The enemy have been out sever al mghU trying to cut oil our picketa, but ao far have (ailed in every attempt, al* though our men have run aome narrow eaeapee. By thia you will aee that our ' poaition ia a dangeroua one, and we know not how soon aome of ua may fall a vie j when the history ot this war is published there will be nothing that will stand more brightly upon its pages, than this one thing, the willingness and promptness with which the Confederates soldiers obey their commanders. We had at Graham* ville gathered around us many conveni ences ; our tents being raised off of the gruond and decently floored, and our di ning spot sheltered 'iom the rain and sun. It was a common saying amongst us, that we would never be as well fixed do ing our slay in camp; but the industrious soldier, like the industrious farmer, can often make two ends meet if it should be by a hard squeeze. We canto to our. then isolated looking samp, somewhat dispirited with its gloomy appearance; but we had no sooner marked out to us, our dwelling place, than our industrious soldiers went to work and soon changed its appearance, and hat wilderness has become a pleasant [dace, where we can again sing of joj s past, present and future. Our present .'amp is situated about twenty-live miles louth of Grahamville, near the little town A Rluft'ton, on a hi.h blurt" on the south tide of May River. It is a pleasant place, )eautifui scenery, and we get the crol sea jreeze nearly every day, and, we must tdrr.it it is the most pleasant camping jround we have had since we left home; were it not that the Railroad is so far off acd the dwellings and farms around us forsaken, we wou.d exchange it for no 1 place that we have aeen since we have been down in Dixie. The nearest station to us on the Rail road is Ilardeeville?it is fourteen miles fiom camp. We are now nearly as far south as we can get in South Carolina. Our picketing is somewhat heavier, than it w as while at Grahamville, having about twenty landing places to guard on different rivers in this locality, our farthest poet south of camp being about twenty miles, and from this post we can see the steeples in Savannah ? four miles distant, ft is some forty miles from this poinf, taking the windings of the river, to the fart . best post north of this place that we have I to guard. The enemy has possesion of all ( the Islands in front of all of there posts, and frequently they try their long ranged ' small arm* at our pickets, but it lias as j yet been to no purpose, few of their balls reaching beyond the stream. We also | lim to the foe, or he taken prisoner ; bat s few, i| any, amongst ns can be found who c are not willing to risk their lives for the si- v curity and defence of their country. C The health of the company and Battaliion has not been belter since we came into camp. Those with whom I have conversed, who have resided near to this place for many years, say we are in a healthy locality?few ever having had fever here. I While at the Railroad yesterday I was rejoiced to see some two hundred ol those j brave Georgians, who were taken prison ers at Fort Pulaski, and who f..in?hi with : such bravery and courage in defence of . i their country and homos, returning again 1 i to meet their companions and friends,? | I They wore a wretched looking sight,a fair ? representation of that inhuman treat I < merit they received from the hands of the i < enemy during their confinement in Foil j Delaware. GILLS CREKK. President's Message. t Richmond, August iv.?Congress re- ' assembled yesterday, pursuant to adjourn 1 merit. 1 In the Senate Mr. Yancy gave notice * that lie would oiler an amendment to the rules so as to provide that the Legislative * sessions of the Senate shall be with open f doors, unless otherwise ordered by two ' thirds. 1 In the House, Mr. Foote submitted a ; I similar proposition and made a speech in t its support. * The resolutions were laid over. ' 'I lie President's Message was received, t and read befoie both Houses. He com- s plinietila the troops f.?r their gallantry and I good conduct, as il'ustrated on hard 1 fought fiends, marked by exhibitions ol 1 individual prowess, which can find but ' few parallels in ancient or modern 11 into- c rv. The zeal and unanimity of tlio great 1 body in peril, gives assurance to the '' friends of Constitutional liberty of our 11 final triumph. The vast army which a threatened the Capitol of the Confederacy has been defeated and the enemy is r< Dow seeking to raise new armies on a c< scale such as modern History does not M record, and to effect '.hat subjugation of i'' the South so often proclaimed as on the '' ave of accomplishment, our enemies he- ') mining daily less regardful of the usages ~ >f civilized war, and the dictates of hti- ''' iiauity. The wanton destruction of nrirate property, murder of captives ami or- ol lers of banishment against peaceful fa mi- r" ies, are some of the means used by our ll uthless invaders. (l To enforce submission of a free people I .o foreign swav, the President refer* hi j '' his connection to confiscation hills, forge ** y of monied obligations of the Confede'ates by citizens of the United Slates and r< he apparent complicity of that govern- ol merit in the crime. 11 Two, at least, of the Generals of the ^ United States are engaged, unchecked by " their government, in exciting servile in- *' surrection and arming slaves. Another has been so brutal as to incite the passions ' of the soldiery against the women of a ' captured city. Yet, the rebuke of c;vi!iz 1 ed men has failed to evoke from the ail ' } thorilier of the United States one mark " of disapprobation of his act; nor is there * any reason to suppose that the conduct 1 of Henjrrnin F. lluller has failed tosecure ' from bis government the saction and ap ' plause with which it is known to have been greeted by public meetings and p.?r- ; lions of the press of the United States. , Enquiries made of the Commander-iii- j , Chief of the armies of the United State* I , whether the atVocities and conduct of ( some of her military commanders meet ( the sanction of that government, have - oeen uviiueij on liie prefect that the en- j | quiry whs insulting. | a No method remain* for repressing these I ? enormities but such retribution of justice 1 | as it is found possible to execute. Ven' : geance will not be dealt on unarmed men . nor on women or children, but exemplary , punishment can and must he moled out s to the felons who are disgracing the pro 4 fession of arms and seek to make of pub j , lie war an occassion for the commission ] of the most monstrous crimes. r t The President next refers to the report from the hearts of the several Departments. He approves the recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury for an increased I issue ol Treasury Notes, convertible into c eight per cent ISonds. I e lie invites favorable consideration to li the recommendation of the Secretary < f ti War in relation to the Conscript Law, tl should be amended so as to em brace per* h sons between the nges of thirty live and l forty five. j p The rigor and efficiency of our present d force inspire the belief that no further en- j roliment will be necessary, but wise fore- n ) ight requires that means should exist for ailing such additional force in the Held without awaiting '.lie re assembling of Congress. Tlie president says "in spite both of ilandishmeiits and the threats lavished u profusion by Agents of the Governnentoflhe Unit?d States upon Indian lations within the Confederacy, they have villained firm n their loyalty and stead ast in their Treaty engagements with his Government. The President concludes?"We have a lever ceasing cause to be giateful for the avor with which God has protected our nfaiit Confederacy, and it becomes us everenllv to iciurti our thanks and li 11 in jlv to ask of 11its bountymisness that \\ is lout which is needful for the performance if the high trusts with which we are :harged." Heroic Incident ia New Orleans We are indebted to high authority for .he facts of the following occurrcneo in Sew Orleans,intelligence of w hich readied he city yesterday : M/s. II II. Ilyanis, aife of the Lieutenant (iovernor of the State, passed on the street a number of i'atikee officers sitting in a door way as lie went by. One of tiieni arose and ollowed her a few steps, and, arrest ng ler progress by placing himself in fiont if her, Unci her that she had omitted to tow in parsing. She attempted to avoid he ruffian, when he repeated his remark, >nd <tsked her if she had not read (ieti. fuller's "Order No. 28" with reference o the treatment of Union ollicers and oldiers with respect. Lndeavoring to ntss the fellow, he threw his arm round he lade's waist, and pressed his foul lips ipon her face. As the villain released o-r troin his etnlnace, the Southern lady oullv diew a pistol and shot h in through ho hody, so that tie fell dead at her feel a the insolent Hush of his cowardly tri mph over the insulted virtue of a feeble ml unprotected woman. Another of the officers imtne liatelv a.ise, and apprciaching thu nohle and iiirageous lady took her by the arm ml told iter, so that the otlu r Federals mid hear, that she must accompany iin before <?en.

I Wo give below ibe substance of the j resolutions adopted at the Washington | ! war meeting, held under the ?ye of Old Abe himself : The iirst resolution declares the dismemberment of (lie Union an event not ' to be contemplated in any contingency I whatever, and deliberately and solemnly 4 | declared that, rather than witness its overthrow, the North will prosecute the < war iinhi us iowih an<t cities shall bo re* 1 duccd to ashes, ils fields desolated, and all that is dear shall have perished. "Let 1 the Union," says the resolution, "be pre J served, or the country made a desert." | Another resolution declares it to he I the duty of the President, and it, there fore, earnestly urges upon hint to adopt I effectual measures of assuring the people that ho is resolved to prosecute the war on a scale limited only by the resources of the country, and it halls with joy, the recent order directing the immediate draft of a large additional* force, as a cheering evidence of such a resolve. Another resolution dec'ares that while ' j there are differences of opinion upon mi j nor ijue^tions of policy in the prosecution j of the war, the Norih is agreed that the | measures adopted should he those* which f will hear with most crushing effect Upon : those iu rebellion, whether in arms, or I not. j Another resolution confesses to a cor., j | viclion lliat the lenders in llio rebellion will never sincerely return to their alio* { jinnee to the Union, or quietly submit to its laws, and declares that they should bo regarded and treated as irreclaimable j traitors, who are to be stripped of their possessions, of whatever character, and either deprived ol life or expelbd from | the country. This resolutions was re ceived with tremendous cries of "good," j "good." } Another resolution declares that wherej ever the armies of the North go within the I rebellious States, measures should be taker* to test the lot ally of the inhabitryits, ami that those who refuse their unquali | ti<-d adhesion to (he cause of the Union, should either be placed under restraint or compelled to go beyond the lines, i while their etlects should be taken from ! them, and, so far ss avai'ahle, be confer* I ted to the use of the arnty. Another resolution declares that the I national capital is eminently the place j where treason should bo instantly de { nounced and punished, and that the | most stringent measures should be adopj ted by the proper authorities, without de: lay, to discover stid arrest the disloyal j men and women who infest the District I of Columbia, and that they should be I compelled to establish, in the most con | ciuHive manner, their fidelity to ilie Gov eminent or forfeit its protection. Another resolution heartily approves of the Act of Congress, pas-ed at its re cent session, subjecting to confiscation the property of rebels, and declaring free such of their slaves as take refuge within the lines of their army, and that it deems it the duty of the President, to the ut most of his ability, to give prompt effect to the provisions of that Act. 'l he final resolution declares that the Federal Government must he sustained, whatever administration may, for the ' time being, be in power, and whatever may be the policy, within tho limit of ' the Constitution, which it may adopt ; i that lie who refuses to give it his support, I because of bis disapproval of some panicI ular measure of its policy, is false to bis 1 obligations to his country. 11 oniiiiii.K Mi Kin.it?A Miss Vaughn, of l>e Koto county, was outraged a few data since by a negro and afterwards murdered ",fid thrown into Cold Water Creek. After her body was found, the negro was traced to Memphis, when he was demanded of the Federal authorities. Incredib'e as it may seem, they rufusod to deliver litiu up. In reply, thoy coolly 1 said the negro came to them seeking pro* lection, and ho should have it. Thus is a crime of tho moat horrible character | permitted to go unpunished, ami other ] criminals in the same position assured I they ran outrage with impunity.? GrenJ aria (Mins ) Apj*al. i I Traitors.? It has already been stated ' that a number of Confederate prisoners ' confined at Fort 1 tela*are, took the oalli I of allegiance to the Lincoln Government, i The Richmond Koquirer publishes the i ' names, 84 in all.

I Bjf tlio arrival of tlio Glasgow, from Liverpool, at New York we have received advices four days later than by the last j steamer. I The Queen in her speech prorouging Parliament says : The Civil War which has for some ' time been raging in America has unfor I innately continued in unabated intensity, and the evils with which it has been at- ; tended have not been confined to the ' ; American continent. Hut, Her Majesty I liaving from the outset determined to | take no part in the contest, lias seen no [ reason to depart from that neutrality | which she haa steadily adhered to. In the House of Lords, Karl Sleath ; pleson moved for the correspondence with Mr. Mason, relative to the acknowl J edgement of the Southern States. Karl Iuis.se! said it is not expedient to produce papers. The Agent of the Confederate States was not recognized and all communications were unoUicial. A correspondence had taken place between .Messrs. Adams and Seward, but the Hrit ish Government replied as before. He stated that no communication lias been received 'rorn any foreign power rei lative to th? recognition of the Southern States. Karl Mathiesboro suggested that Gov eminent should communicate with other powers with a view to oflering mediation, if a favorable opportunity arises, to which LV.-I u o l -i - ? ijtn ivus-sen agreed mai ii mediation is offered hI! powers should join in it. The motions was finally withdrawn. The Ldhdon Times editorially aigues, if England wishes to give llie Federals now impulse, she has but to take some step which can he represented as interference, and Lincoln will soon gel his three hundred thousand men and the chances of peace wii! bo indefinitely post poned. The Journal l>e St. Petersburg7 says there are rumors that Ilussla had joined France in a proposition from Kngland for the recognition of the Confederates. In Liverpool, Cotton advanced one quarter to three eights of a cent, provis ions advances, hut the market closed quiet on tho 7th i:int. Breadstuff* and provisions were nn.-hanged. Sickness Caused from "Exposure to a Draft." The Xewburypurl (Mass.) Herald says it never knew it so sickly before at Newhuryporl as it is now. Tho disease affects only males between the ages of 18 and 45. The cases are very distressing. Several have occurred where men have nearly lost their sight ; they say that bad as I they hate the C -nfederates, they could not see one across the street, and spectacles are in demnnd. Some are badly ruptured, but were never troubled by it till last week ; and others are lame. This disease affects the mind a* well as the hodv. They see war in a different light than formerly, and some of the foremost | Ahoulioni*ts begin to think that they would be willing to abandon the negro if the war could only be closed at once.? This is a terrible disease and widely soread. I Another effect of the "exposure to a draft," it tiiut noticed by the N. Y. Tribune : We are pained to notice a great decline in the price of oue article of inerchamliae, and an almost entire stagnation in the business within a few days. The lute proclamation of the President has proi duced this prostration in this business.? It has annihilated the trade in hair dye. The stock, good-will, and fixture* of all the hair dye establishments are for sale. Nobody, except some ancient female, has used hair d e since the call was made for all men "under 45 years of age.*? (iray hairs are not only honorable, they are fashionable. How suddenly some rneii grow old ! Among the l'risouer* recently sent down the James Hirer to he exchanged were Col.
