THE DRAFT IN CoNNEcTIcUT.-Iti is said
that the draft in Connecticut was abandoned
on account of its unpopularity. Many of the

er proportion of them remained at home and
positively refused to comply with the orders

Hartford over four hundred men were drafted
Not small number of these left the city, and
thus evaded the military officers Over one
hundred of them responded without delay tc
the laws demand, and were at once placed in
the hands of the surgeon, who rejected more
than two t.hirds IF them on account of physical
inability to perform a soldiers duties i, the

mander Preble's case should have drawn upon
him so severe punishment. The admiral
says: AS the effect of all punishment is
principally intended to prevent the repetition
of offences, rather than to punish the individ-
ual, think there can be but little doubt that
this effect has IN the present instance been OBJ
tanned upon the entire navy, and | therefore
hope that the department will grant Comman-
der Preble hearing before a court marital or
court of enquiry, so as to enable him to show
his country and his family that he has not sui

The manner in which the recent deposition
of the "imbecile' King Ohio, of Greece, was
effected, is stated bya correspondent of the In

King Ohio and his wife had left Athens on
board steam corvette to visit Mes8inia and
other parts of the kingdom, in profound ignor-
ance Of any approaching outbreak; and the
first thing that was done being to destroy the
telegraphic lines, his majesty remained for more
than eight day in ignorance that he had ceased
to he King. 1t was only when his f Min
i,ter of War joined him at Kalamata, small
town Of Messinia, that he be, anne aware of the

The recent prompt tender to Secretary

Justify the hopes of the most sanguine friends
of the present system, Making all reasona-
BILE allowances for the continuance uf hostli-
ties, it seems clear that the income to be deriv-
ed from the taxes now provided for by law,
must easily pay the annual interest on the debt
being contracted, and leave an ample sinking
fund for its final and cary extinction. With
this reasonable certainty, there is no valid res-
son why the present prices should be demand
ed and paid for specie, for mere purposes Of
exchange nor is it likely, should our arms
prove successful under the new policy Of The
President, that these prices can long be main

The MEXICAN CRISIs.-The New York
Times thus summarizes part OF the last mill
tary news from Mexico:
M alt appears that during the proceeding fort
night, French forces, infantry, cavalry and
artillery, numbering altogether 1880 men,
landed at Vera Cruz, This force, sided to
that previously in the country, gives tie French
an art.y of $4,000 men. From the est data
that can be obtained, there is reason 70 believe
that from 5000 to 10000 French troops will
be landed during the present month, to com
plete the Emperor Napoleon's invading force.
This army of invasion, numbering from q, 800
TO 10000 well equipped and efficient soldiers
some of the best in the Emperors army
We learn from French sources, is expected to
move from Orizaua, its base of operations,
upon the City of Mexico, sometime during The
coming month of December"
TO meet this force the Mexicans are ralving
with remarkable dnsnimity. Nearly all the
partisan leaders are cooperating with the
Juarez Government, and it is said that well
ofhoered ana effective army &C about $4,000
men is now ready for the field We NAV.

An incident of the distress among the OPP
eratives of Lancashire, England, is thus relat-
ed by an English writer: ..-... ~. .qs.-
One young woman, about thirty years of
age, with child in her arms. was standing in
by street, singing, in sweet, plaintive
voice, a Lancashire song. 1t was her first
song in public, and the tremulous voice and
the dcwncast eye, as she Rugged with nervous
grasp her little one,were very touchiug When
the song was over, the poor creature looked
round with a timid air to the islanders; but
she had miscalculated her strength--the occa-
sion was beyond her powers of endurance, and
she burst into passionate food of tears
While | felt, in common with those around /.
many of whom were not dry-eyed, sympathy
and sorrow for the poor minstrel, our feelings
were turned into hearty gladness, when a
strong, brawny Lancashire lad walked up to
the place she had occupied, took off his hat,
and saying that he would take their money to
her, made a collection on the spot.
