THE MILITIA DRAFT

On Saturday last 34 men were drafted from the militia of Nansemond for service on the river.  The detachment selected Capt. E. L. Ballard to command them, which appointment was confirmed by Col. Copeland, and they were mustered into the service.  Jas. W. Ames volunteered, taking the place of one who was drafted and was appointed Orderly Sergeant.  There will be no more stealing negroes now.
