The Militia Ballot “The militia balloting was finished yesterday, in
the presence of Sheriff Corbett, His Honor Judge Draper, Sydney Warner, Esq.,
and the County Attorney. The following are the names of those drafted in
Lennox and Addington.” |
Are You Drafted? Since the balloting for the militia force
commenced, not a little excitement is observable amongst those of the young
men of the city who are liable for service. The universal question asked is
“Are you drafted?” It is a totally erroneous idea to call it a draft; the
latter is an Americanized expression and its similarity to that of our
cousins on the other side of the line have made it in vogue here. It is a “Ballot,” not a draft; and in the
Act the word “draft” is not mentioned. As many are in ignorance as to what is
required of them when chosen among the service men, a few words may ease the
minds of those who are liable to shoulder the musket. The militia force is divided into 1st
class service men, 2nd class service men and reserve men. In the 1st are included those
between the years of eighteen and forty-five, who are unmarried, or widowers
without children. In the 2nd class are those
between the same ages as first, but who are married men or widowers with
children. The 3rd class,
or reserve men, are those between forty-five and sixty years of age. Each battalion so organized shall continue
so organized for a period of three years, when a new ballot takes place, the three
years being counted from the time of actual service. As it is now, the rolls
are very incomplete and arrangements must be made to obtain a more perfect
assessment. There are of course a great many exemptions, such as officers and
men of our volunteer force, &c, and all of which parties interested can
see in the Statutes of 1863. |
