Throe Surgeons in each Congressional Distriet will be recommended by tho Com-mandants of Conscripts to the Adjutant and Inspector General fur employment, under the foregoing act; and the said Commandants will establish in each county, city, parish or district a place of rendezvous for the examination of conscripts enrolled therein. 2. The three Surgeons employed in each Congressional District will constitute a Board of Examination for the District; and one or more of them may act at any place of rendezvous therein. They shall fix days for the examination ol conscripts in each county, city, parish or distriet, and give at least ten days' notice thereof, by publi-cation in one or more newspapers circula ting in tho Congressional District, and by notice posted at the principal places of 2.' The enrolling officer lor tno conniy, city, parish or district shall attend at such examinations, and enroll and send to the camp of instruction such persons as are. examined and found by the Surgeon to be capable of bea-ing arms. The standard of bodily capacity shall be that established by General Order, No. 58, modified by tho omission of tho 3d paragraph, which au-thorized tho enrollment of persons not equal toall military duty. No person will be enrolled as a conscript, who is not capable of bearing arms. 4. Persons deemed incapable of bearing arms shall be reported by the Examining Surgeon to the Board of Examination, who shall determine the question of exemption, and grant certificates thereof. The certifi-cates shall specify whether the incapacity is temporary or permanent; and if perman-ent, the party shall be exempt from future examination, unless specially ordered by tho board. So soon as the examining Board shall be organized in any Congressional out unreasonable delay. The enrolling officer will receive the receipt and forward it to the Commandant of Conscripts, by whom it will be forwarded to the Quarter-master General, who will charge the Assis-tant Quartermaster with the amount receiv-ed by him.

And if tho said discharge or exemption de not show that it was granted in considera-tion of a substitute having been famished, such fact must be certified in writing by the commanding officer of the regiment or command to which the companj- belongs, or by the Commandant of Conscripts, as the case may be. Bat in all cases arsing within thir-ty days from the date of this order, the enrolling officer may grant the exemption, upon satisfactory proof that the party furnished a substitute, who was actually received into the service of the Confeder-ate States for three years or the wsr, and the substitute is not liable to military ser-vice; such exemption may, at any time be canceled, if fraud or mistake be discovered. 2.

It at any time the en- Written for the Patriot. A Peep Behind the Yankee Cur-tain. A vast, great change has and is taking place throughout the North; a change that already rocks the pet cradle of Aboli-tionism into a whirlpool of conflicting in-terests— of unrest. Two separate, distinct classes, are stri-ving for the mastery—the conservatives or Democrats, and tho radicals or Republi-cans. Again, there are smaller sections differently divided, whoso voices claim a place in the re-echoing din and wild confu-sion of claiming power. From the iron hand of Republicanism (apparently softly gloved) have emanated arbitrary and unjust laws and decrees, that this christianized, en-lightened era will ever recall in mantled shame, that will ever be tiding and rolling back through vaulted aisles, filled with wailing cries of past memories. Abolitionism has usurped to itself a pow-er of its own creation, oblivious to tho claims of humanity or society, a mind ignis fatuus, that has guided them on to a brink of sure destruction. Their power is characterized by the vilest deception. One peep "behind the scenes," and weitand with hushed breath and paling lip for the wickedness unvailed—for facts sternly true and conclusive. Their recruiting offices are weaved and webbed over with choice incentives for en-listments, and when an ignorant hand would grasp the high bounty, another, claim-ing that "might is right," withdraws the prize, but keeps tho captive, whose name has been placed, through false inducements, on the book of enrollment, whore "black and white" tells, too late to retract, and the poor dupe hurries homeward with the sad intelligence of his peculiar enlistment.— Then comes the racking thought, who will provide for wifo and children? Ah! charity. With clinging arms around his n.-ck, with tear-siained cheeks agninet his own, tho Irish soldier trembles beneath his bluo uniform, as he tears himself away to his untried labor of fighting the battles of a country whose interests are foreign to his own. One instance will suffice as to how their families are cared for.

The commandants of all regiments, battalions, squadrons or unattached com-panies which were in service on the 16th ol April, 1802, desiring to reeeive con-scripts, may transmit through tho Adjutaut and Inspector General of the army, state-ments oi the strengtb of their commands, to the Commandant of Conscrip's in their respective States, who, unless other-wise ordered, will, as far as practicable, distribute conscripts of the State among :»a rngimri ts, battalions and companies deficiencies. Ho will consult tho wishes of the con-scripts in assigning '.hem to companies or regiments so far as may be consistent with their proper distribution, and will not soparato men from the same county district or parish, it it can be avoided. The same rule will be observed by the Com-mandants of corps in assigning conscripts to companies. 6. Conscripts for cavalry will only be taken from those who furnish their own horses. No conscripts can be assigned to companies mustered into service since the 16th ol April, 1862. 7. The Commandants of Conscripts are specially enjoined to pay unce .sing atten-tion to the health, comfort and instruction of the conscripts under their command, and to bear in mind that the efficiency of the army and tho safely ol tho country depend in a great measure upon their faithful discharge of these duties. III. Enrollment of Conscript!. ed for the purpose, by virtue of the act of Congress approved the 11th of October, 1862. Throe Surgeons in each Congressional Distriet will be recommended by tho Com-mandants of Conscripts to the Adjutant and Inspector General fur employment, under the foregoing act; and the said Commandants will establish in each county, city, parish or district a place of rendezvous for the examination of conscripts enrolled therein. 2. The three Surgeons employed in each Congressional District will constitute a Board of Examination for the District; and one or more of them may act at any place of rendezvous therein. They shall fix days for the examination ol conscripts in each county, city, parish or distriet, and give at least ten days' notice thereof, by publi-cation in one or more newspapers circula ting in tho Congressional District, and by notice posted at the principal places of 2.' The enrolling officer lor tno conniy, city, parish or district shall attend at such examinations, and enroll and send to the camp of instruction such persons as are. examined and found by the Surgeon to be capable of bea-ing arms. The standard of bodily capacity shall be that established by General Order, No. 58, modified by tho omission of tho 3d paragraph, which au-thorized tho enrollment of persons not equal toall military duty. No person will be enrolled as a conscript, who is not capable of bearing arms. 4. Persons deemed incapable of bearing arms shall be reported by the Examining Surgeon to the Board of Examination, who shall determine the question of exemption, and grant certificates thereof. The certifi-cates shall specify whether the incapacity is temporary or permanent; and if perman-ent, the party shall be exempt from future examination, unless specially ordered by tho board. So soon as the examining Board shall be organized in any Congressional out unreasonable delay. The enrolling officer will receive the receipt and forward it to the Commandant of Conscripts, by whom it will be forwarded to the Quarter-master General, who will charge the Assis-tant Quartermaster with the amount receiv-ed by him. V1I1. Proviiion againit Extortion. 1. When application for exemption is made by any shoe-maker, tanner, black-smith, wagonmaker, miller, mill engineer or millwright, not in the employment of any.company or establishment, but work-ing for himself, the party seeking exemp-tion shall state in writing, under oath, that he is skilled and actually employed in bis said trade: that he is habitually engag-ed in working for the public; that the products of $s labor, while exempt from military service shall not be sold, exchanged or bartered for a price exceeding the cost of production and seventy-five per cent, profit thereon; and that he will not by any errangemont, shift or contrivance, evade the law, or receive a greater price or re-ward than it allows. 2. Where application is made to exempt superintendents and operatives in wool and cotton factories and paper mills, and superintendents and managers of wool car-ding machines, shoemakers, tannerB, black-smiths, wagpnmakers, millers, mill engi-neers or millwrights, not working for them-selves, but in the employment of some corn-pan t or establishment, the president or some director, if the company be incorpo-rated, if not. the proprietor of the business, or if there bo a firm, some partner therein, shall make path in writing that the said superintendents, operatives, managers or mechanics, as the case may be, are skilled and actually employed in their said voca^ company belongs, or then belonged, (see General Order No. 26,) or an exemption signed by the Commandant of Conscripts. And if tho said discharge or exemption de not show that it was granted in considera-tion of a substitute having been famished, such fact must be certified in writing by the commanding officer of the regiment or command to which the companj- belongs, or by the Commandant of Conscripts, as the case may be. Bat in all cases arsing within thir-ty days from the date of this order, the enrolling officer may grant the exemption, upon satisfactory proof that the party furnished a substitute, who was actually received into the service of the Confeder-ate States for three years or the wsr, and the substitute is not liable to military ser-vice; such exemption may, at any time be canceled, if fraud or mistake be discovered. 2. Paragraph II, General Order No. 9, current series, is hereby revoked.

And in all cases in which a substitute becomes subject to military service, the exemption of the principal by reason of the substitution shall expire. Any person subject to enrollment who desires to furnish a substitute, may, at any time before the enrollment, or before he is assigned to a company and sent from the camp of instruction, present a substitute at such camp, And if tho substitute be capable of bearing arms, and bo of good moral character, and not within the pro-hibited classes, he shall be received, and person under eighteen yoars of age, domiciled in the Confederate States, JIO time report himself for examination at said camp of instruction, or his continued ■Usability certified by the certificate of a respectable physician of his county, city, listrict or parish, he shall be held liable ma absent without leave of his commanding officer.

A vast, great change has and is taking place throughout the North; a change that already rocks the pet cradle of Aboli-tionism into a whirlpool of conflicting in-terests— of unrest. Two separate, distinct classes, are stri-ving for the mastery—the conservatives or Democrats, and tho radicals or Republi-cans. Again, there are smaller sections differently divided, whoso voices claim a place in the re-echoing din and wild confu-sion of claiming power. From the iron hand of Republicanism (apparently softly gloved) have emanated arbitrary and unjust laws and decrees, that this christianized, en-lightened era will ever recall in mantled shame, that will ever be tiding and rolling back through vaulted aisles, filled with wailing cries of past memories. Abolitionism has usurped to itself a pow-er of its own creation, oblivious to tho claims of humanity or society, a mind ignis fatuus, that has guided them on to a brink of sure destruction. Their power is characterized by the vilest deception. One peep "behind the scenes" and weitand with hushed breath and paling lip for the wickedness unvailed—for facts sternly true and conclusive. Their recruiting offices are weaved and webbed over with choice incentives for en-listments, and when an ignorant hand would grasp the high bounty, another, claim-ing that "might is right" withdraws the prize, but keeps tho captive, whose name has been placed, through false inducements, on the book of enrollment, whore "black and white" tells, too late to retract, and the poor dupe hurries homeward with the sad intelligence of his peculiar enlistment.— Then comes the racking thought, who will provide for wifo and children? Ah! charity. With clinging arms around his n.-ck, with tear-siained cheeks agninet his own, tho Irish soldier trembles beneath his bluo uniform, as he tears himself away to his untried labor of fighting the battles of a country whose interests are foreign to his own. One instance will suffice as to how their families are cared for.
