Names of the Drafted
The draft came off at the Court House on Monday last, the 6th inst.,
superintended by Auditor McFadden, Sheriff DeHaven, Provost Marshall
Michael Miller, and Commissioner John L. Wilson. Everything passed off
quickly. Our worthy Sheriff presented quite a novel aspect, sitting,
blind-folded, groping in the box for the little slips containing the name
of the lucky men [lucky in italics], while the big Provost Marshall fave
some fine exhibitions of physical power in shaking the said box. The
following are the names of those drafted in the order in which they were
