Confederate Signals
Slgnai rockets are now sent up every night along
the whole Confederate line, beginning above Pros
.pect Hill, at point about eight miles above the
Chaln Bridge; thence to their batteries near the
Cham Bridge; thence to their encampments near
Mount Olive Church thence to BalI's Cross Roads,
Munson's Hill, Bai!ey's Cross Roads, and to their
entertainments near Alexandria What the object
OF these signal rockets is is yet involved in myste-
ry 1t may DE merely experimental, in order to
prepare the commanders of the various corps for q
simultaneous night movement. But whatever
may be the object of the signals the scientific man.

parations of the Confederates are nearly completed
and that they are about ready for whatever dem

s.On the Defensive
1t is now five months since the bombardment
of Sumter, and the great uprising, as it is termed,
of the Northern people. How stand we? The Con-
tederates absolute masters of eleven States, pres
sing upon our borders, threatening Capital,
and we ON THE DEFENSIVE, wondering when and
where they will strike! Who that heard the burst
of patriotic wrath last April, and the great rally
ing cry that swept over every Northern hill and
valley, could have believed that this September
sun wonld have risen upon such a position? We
boast oi our great doings-exult over the millions
OF money raised, and the hundreds of thousands of
men armed, equipped, drilled, disciplined; but,
boast as we may, the fact still remains that the
enemy is at our threshold, and we are on the de-
fensive! We have talked loud of our superior pop
ulatlon, superior wealth, superior credit superior
intelligence, superior morality, superior physical
condition of our armies, superior everything; and
yet here we are on the defensive! We have heaped
all manner of denunciaion and execration upon the
rebellion, stigmatzed it as the netarious and
accursed that human depravity ever conceived,
sworn before high heaven that it shall be put down.
and the priceless heritage of our fathers saved
and yet here we are, the rebellion looming week af

The reports of ''respectable gentlemen" from
North Car olina "by a circuitous route" that the
Governor is a strong Union man, is received with
very strong misgivings. We know, and must
judge by his acts, and they have been against u.s.
The report, also, of the election of eight repre-
sentatives to Congress, is not much more or much
less than the report of eight selfcOnstituted M

The Freedom of Badges.
IL Is easy TO see now much more judicious it is,
rather to let persons in Baltimore, and elsewhere
indulge in the manifestation of such unsound ten
dencies so long they confined to dec ent dis
cussinn, or within the innocent range of badge
openly displayed, than violently to deprive them
OF such privilege. In spite of al prohibitions,
there those, especially of the fair SEX who will
make their opinions known.

Slow Recruiting in AIbany--Drafting.
Recruiting business here is growing less active at
all the stations both of regulars and volunteers.-
The sphere of operations seems to have been linn
tied to the cities and larger villages. This fact
should be more generally known and acted upon.
The necessity of drafting is now a subject of gen
eral discussion among military men. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that if the Government desire for
immediate service the twenty-five thousand troops
which New York is called upon to supply there
must be draft made and it is thought that those
drafted and not desiring to serve could easily pro-
cure substitute, and that no hardships would be
experienced
