Important Tract Concerning the Draft.
By Editor
Having learned that, according to late act of Congress, those conscientiously opposed to bearing arms are still allowed to pay $300 instead of entering the service, we have taken steps to introduce our people to the notice of the authorities, through the highest executive officer in this State, the Governor. The tract will contain that portion of the enrollment law concerning non-combatants, our letter of introduction to the Governor, also a written copy of the statement of our principles laid before him, together with his reply to the same. It is important that all our brethren who are liable to the draft should have a copy of the above tract. And as this movement has been attended with considerable expense, the price of the tract is placed at 25 cents post-paid to cover that expense. Whatever is realized more than the cost from sale of tract will go to the Association. We shall immediately send from two to ten copies of the tract, accompanied by a few instructions, to all our preachers.
