The Enrollment Difficulty.
Canyon Citt, Dpo. 23. 18G3.
Ed. Statesman i Since the date of my Inst
letter events have trannpireil which seriously
tliriMttcnt'd the peatte and Inn luillty of our
quiet cniiitntinity. Tho enrtillniftit and draft
Intvo lonjf liei-n a iiilijuot nf discursion, and al
though (hero were many who swore vehemently
that they would light lo the bitter end rather
than submit to either the one or the other.
Still Union men had beoome so accustomed to
their treasonable threats that they took bat lit
tle notice of them, believing that they never
would attempt to carry out, by force of arms,
their copperhead designs. Dot whilst Union
men were thus Inactive, under the delnsivo
hope that there would be no armed resistance
to tho onforcem nt of tho laws, the traitors
were aotively nt work, organizing and securing
arnii and munitions nf war. On Sunday, the
l.'ith inst., the Union mcu wore suddenly
brought to a sense of their imminent danger,
by the assembling of a secesh meeting in front
of John Fennessy'i Saloon the principal ren
dezvous anil headquarters of the secesh frater
nity nt which, public speeohei were made by
. II ii re, anil others, urging thctn to- resist the
enrolling officer iu tho discharge of bis duties.
Not satisfied witli this, they appointed a com
mittee of Ave to wait upon the enrolling oflioer
N. A. Trowbridge and demand nf him all
books and papers pertaining to the office. That
omnmittee consisted of the following gentlemen,
all as loyal to Jeff. Davis & Co. as can be
fnnnd in the county i I. Ilure, chairman of tho
committee i P. VV. Davis, J. Fenncssy,' . '
Porte-', (J. Ilayzleline. They pr. ceeded to the
nflicerVresidi'iicer followed byu"crwd of de
termined,' resolute,' Uuhm men, "with revolvers ;
joaded and ready" for use.jnicasu of "an'einer-'
gi'ticy. M Trowbridge replied tiHho demand '
ciiirleiitisly., but. firmly, tliut,, ho should jtiot
give up llie documents, under any ' circuit!-'
sliinces, come wliat might, and that if they nu-'
dertook to take them by; force,' that' he should
hold them responsible for tho, consequences. "
They urged and plead, declaring that'there '
wnulil be liloinl slied, did he not .comply , with t
ihrir deinitoils; but Mr. .Trnwbrido. was im- v
iiiovenlile. Finally finding tliat talk, availed 1
them nothing, they withdrew, giving him until f
Thursday evening following lo consider on Ihe ?
inalter. " , ; ,4.., - . "
All loyal men, and law abiding citizens, saw
at a ghitico the necessity of immediate4 and '
prompt notion. That there was a gang of men' '
organized and armed for the express purpose
nf resisting die enforcement of .the. laws, and '
perhaps to pillngo and plunder peaceable, and '
quiet citizens, there was not a shadow of doubt."
To meet die emergency, it was necessary .that (
we should organize ; nnd steps were, iinmedi- 4
: tely tnk 11 to accomplish tlinst object.. Ill order '
to prepare ourselves, with as little public, dein- '
onstrittion as possible, it was resolved .that our j
meeting should be secret, and that 110 business .
tniiisticted thetein, or in any way connected ;
witli our orgiiniza.inti. should be made known '
to the nubile. On Monday evening. t the 6th
inst., liiere was a gathering of loyal men ; and '
nobly did they rally to defend the principles
held sucred by every true American heart the
only snlcgiiurd to our personal safety; and lib- I
eriy the upholding of the legally constituted
authorities iu the discharge of their duties
that of carrying out and enforcing the laws of
Ihe land. As it wuld bo contraband to state
Ihe number of Union men who came forward
during the three or four meetings held, I will
only udd dint should tho secesh, by any overt .
act, make it necessary for us to nse our arms, ,
they would not only be profoundly astonished,'
us to our numbers, but would undoubtedly gut
a iMtntKl drubbing.
During this time Mr. Trowbridge,' tho enrol-
ling nlliccr, was called away 011 business cou-'
uected with tho ollice of sheriff. '

THIS WAR AMD ITS ILVELOPMENTS.
In an article nn Thank-giving Day, the New
York Evening Pott refeve to the grandeur of
this war to suppress vflollion, and deolnrcs
that in the developmeui'nf power, the oreation
of armies, die number 6f giant battles and the
extent of territory nver which they have been
fought, the ovit contests which have happened
on the European continent were petty wart in
comparison. The vasb material wealth and
moral and political ptWer which have been
developed in the loyal Sates by the rebellion,
tho Pott thinks, may wdJ astonish the oivilized

Out of all the different kinds of manual labor
that I ever attempted, the business of march

most exhausting. There is very little poetry

The lilchmond JSaffuirer of the 17th lay
our Government hat abandoned every point
excepting the treatment of negro prisoners.
Now, the simple truth is, the Government ha
not abandoned any point. It ii known that
Gen. Bntlcr, whn but tnperscded -"Geo. . Mer

at Porta Norfolk and M'Henry and Point Look
out, have been placed under orders, and ha I
authorized to conduct the exchanging mn for
man, and oflioer for officer, of eooaJ ra-.i
with those paroled and tent forward try blmttlf.
The object I to make an even exchange, so fir
as tho prisoners in the rebels' possession will
admit; and, governed by humane motives, tb
effort will be made first to proeare the release
of those whvhave for the longest lime been -held
at prisonoie. Colored troops and their
officers, in conducting the exchange, will be
placed nn an equality with all other troopt.and
so of colored men iu civil employment. Tbi
Is ono nf the points hereafter lo be adjusted.
The honor and dignity of the Government in
the protection of such negro persona and their
officers will not be compromised. The oHeot
of the recent visit of Gen. Hitchcock to Fur
tress Monroe was to confer with Gen. I '-r,
nnd to communicate to him the order ef I s '
