MILITARY coNsCRIpTIoNi

In the House of Represent tives yester-
day, Mr. sheffey offered his amendment to
the military bill IN the course of the re-
marks which he submitted in support of it,
he made some allasion to whisper which
lie had heard of q project having been agi-
tated to fill the ranks of the army by means
of that detestable system, French conscrip-
ton, of which he expressed his adherence.
Mr. Troup, chairman Of the military com
mittee, in reply stated he had expressed
himself in favor of such a project-it might
not at present be necessary, but when the
circumstances of the country required It,
he, for one, would advocate it in the com
mttee and in the house. Are the s;tizens

TIE report and estimates from the Tres-
sury, which have been SO long and So scan
dalously withheld, were yesterday present
ed &c the house. Tine payments from the
Treasury, during the last year, are bear-
" 40 millions. The receipts, principally
from loans, we're between ! and 2 mil
lions beyond that sum. The estimates
for the year 1914, are near fifty millions,
most of which is to be borrowed. For
the year 1918, not one word is said about
the debts incurred by the United States
not paid from the Treasury, which are
said to be more than so millions. Nor for
the year 1914 are any calculations made
for militia expences, &c. but barely for
the pay and rations of the army and navy.
The whole expence for 1878, paid and I'M
paid, no doubt exceed IS millions-Those
for 1914 may exceed 100 millions-if the

AN error occurred in my address of last
week, by the printer installing the name
of Josiah for Joshua Hedges, for which |
am truly sorry.-As stated in that address,
It was not my wish to give pain to the in
nocent josiah and Joshua are brothers,
but differing as much in dispositionas Cain

possessing all the qualifications that should
render man espectable--Joshua, though
not murderer of life, the destroyer of fc-

ARMISTICE.

A general truce, or suspension of hostili-
ties, between the U. States and Great Bri-
tin, both by sea and land, seems to be i'm
feriously called for, by the new aspect of
their mutual affairs Ministers are now APP
pointed on both sides, to negotiate peace ;
and there is reason to hope that the great and
desirable object will be attained The Bri-
fish ministry have again repeated their de-
sire to be on terms of friendship with the
u. States, and again offered to negotiate a
treaty, upon the basis of the public law, and
the maritime rights of the British Empire
This offer has been wisely and promptly
accepted by our government. By sending
out ministers to Gottenburg, they have at
Ia ST recognized this law and these rights,
and evinced their determination to conclude
peace upon principles compatible with
both. Nor can the intelligent part of the
Presidents friends object to a negotiation
10 DC conducted upon such principles
They will not contend for the privilege of
setting up new law, contrary to that which
governs all other nations nor will they be
81 blind, as not to perceive, that recogni-
toa Of the maritime rights OF G. Britain
Is no abandonment of those which belong to
America. Under these circumstances.
favorable opportunity presents ITSELF of put
ting stop to the calamites of the war
And surely the President who has the pow
az, viii not suffer it to pass unimproved
~ such a measure, the defenceless inhahi
'an's OF the frontiers, will be saved from
total destruction-An earnest will be given
sincere desire to conclude final ana
ornament peace, and an opportunity af
tordei our government TO recruit the ex
hsusted strength and spirits of their armies
IN The unhappy event of the failure of the

Dreadful mortality-A letter from
neighbouring town, says gentleman
lately returned from tour through Yer
mont, states the following melancholy fact:
That out of regiment of 800 Virginians,
who joined the Northern Army few
months since in fine health and spirits, only
200, according to the most favourable ac-
counts, survived; other accounts said only
20. Scarcely single officer remained.-
The last captain died while my informant
was at Burlington.
son this fact several remarks occur:
"lst 1t evinces most sinful negligence
in the medical department of the army
What waste of human life, has arisen from
the pitiful policy which actuated the 60
vernment in their appointments of the Me-
deal Staff
''2d From this peculiar mortality in theVir-
ginia troops, we infer that Southern consti-
tutions are incapable of sustaining the hard
ships of campaign in this rigorous Nor
thern climate.
"Sdly. In this fact and in the dreadful des-
truetion of the Kentucky troops 81 the Sc
ginning of the war, we may see the just
judgment of God upon those parts of the
