Aai diOdr-d as to the iie^t appointment. The.
most prevalent opinion is that Gov. Boutwell of

call of volunteers of December .19,1864, is pub-

. EXECUTIVE MANSION; . 1
Washington City, February 6, 1865. (
Whereas, Complaints are made in some local
ities, respecting the assignments of quotas and
fill up tlic armies, now, in order to determine
fol i-oni-'c ■ A icsriect thereto, and to,avoid
men, that number cannot be reduced by men
going iinfor a period longer than one year.—
Inequalities produced by men going in under
ibis call for .longer periods than one year must
be equalized ■on future calls. , - .
It tvill be perceived that though the aggre
gate of the excess furnished is added to "the
whole call, the excess of each district is after
wards subtracted from its quota. Thus the
number .if men called for is neither increased
nor diminished, but equally produced, consider-
,ing ihe number of men and the periods of their
service. Localities which have heretofore fur
nished a greater amount of service have, in pro
portion to their enrolment, a less amount to
furnish under,this, and e cowoerso.
Men having heretofore enlisted for one, two
; nd three years, it was necessary to take one
of those periods as the basis of the calculation.
As three years embraced both the other periods,
if makes the'calculation more simple to adopt
that. The. same result would' be arrived at by
adopting either one or two years as the basis,
but the process of calculation would be more
complicated.
Such we find to be the rule adopted by the
Provost Marshal General. The rule is in con
formity with the requirements of the laws of
Congress, and is just and equitable.
We have carefully examined and proved the
work done under this rule by the Provost Mar
shal General, and find that it has been done
with fairness.
We file in the Provost Marshal General's
Office, our calculations 'of the quota of each and
every district endorsed by us as correct.

Atlantic have been particularly pushed forward,
and have excited, on account of the telegraphic
?able, more general interest than any yet ta
ken. They have revealed the fact that at lea*st
two hundred' miles from Ireland the water is
still shallow: or in other words, that there is
another Ireland only waiting to be raised—'thus
reversing the famous panaceas for keeping the
country quiet. It is just beyond this that the
true Atlantic begins, the fuIt'suddenly sinking
to 9,000 feet'. Thus Ireland may one day have
a cea-d as high as the Alps. The whole floor

counts having been adjusted, the excesses,

The amount of service furnished is determin
ed by multiplying the numder of men raised by
the number of years for which they ehiisted.

follows: ,
Take the whole number of years of service
furnished by the districts of the. United States
L r- b.llion to thq
31st of December, 1864. From that sum de
duct the whole number of men furnished from
all the districts of the United States up to that
date. The remainder will be the excess of years
of service furnished by all the districts. Mul-
tiply the call of December 19th, 1864, by three,
to have the ni 1 /ears of servi
that call, and is ids add the excess, as a.-cer
tained above. Then, as the number of men
enrolled from tlHwhole United States up to the
31st of Decombt$, 1864, is to the period of ser-
1 vice as above ascertained, so is the- number of
■ men eniMled i° a given district to the number
i of years of service it is required to furnish, in
cluding its pro i'(Aiv. share of the excess.
From this sum deduct' the actual excess the
district furnished; the remainder is the num
ber of years of service which the district is re
quired to furnish under the call of December

Christian Heroism of a Child.—The young
daughter of Lady L -, in England, had a
complaint in her knee, and the surgeons decided
that the limb must bo taken^ff. Her mother '
.told her all the facts, and asked whether she
would submit to the operation, or take the risk
of death. “0 ! mamma,” the child at once re
plied, “I would much rather die, because I
should then be so happy ; but then God does
net-call for life, but for limb ; and if I were to
choose to die rather than to have it taken off, it
would bo doing my will and not God’s will.”—
Wlion the operation was performed her mother
being in another room, heard one loud scream,
and supposed it was j.ust begun, but it was over;
that beingfhe only compl tint she uttered.—
When the surgeon praised her fortitude, and
said something about her “good sense,” “Oh
no,” said she, “but I will tell you what it was :
it was two verses in the Bible—’Through much
Tribulation we must enter the kingdom of Heav
en” and, ‘if we suffer, we shall also reign with
Him? I thought of these, and that helped me
to bear the pain.”
