Who are to be Enrolled, and Liable to a
Drafff

Under the recent order No. 81, of the Com
lander-in-Chief, all able bodied citizens be-
tween the ages of eighteen and .forty-fce
years, are to be enrolled. There are
10 exemptions, ,chaterer, except for bodi-
~ inability. Thus it will be seen that quakcrs
shakers, Judges of Courts, ministers of the
Gospel, United States and State officers, dis
charged militia officers, and militia officers
elect under former enrolment, not commits
stoned, &C., are all liable to enrolment; wheth-
er the order includes colored men, is mooted
question which we are unable TO decide.
This order of the Governor is based upon
the law OF the United States of July II, 1862,
which takes precedence of State law, under
which the former enrolment was made.

A special dispatch TO the Philadelphia In
quirer, says
The President, Gems. Halleck and Mcclellan,
were in consultation to-day ut the headquir-
ters of Gen. Hallcck. Shortly afterward it
was currently said in that vicinity that the
command Of the troops in and around this
city, including the defence of the neighboring
Qualifications, had been assigned to Gen. Me-
Clellan.
After the falling back of our forces to Cen
trevie there was naturally some anxiety felt
as to the safety OF Gen Banks, in command at
Catett's and Bristow's station. About eight
o'clock yesterday morning he succeeded in
bringing of his entire command and wagon
train uninjured, his only encounters with the
enemy being an occasional interchange of
shots.
He reached Centreville about noon yester-
day The fact that the enemy did not under
take more seriously to oppose his junction
with Pope, shows how terribly the rebels were
crippled in the battle of yesterday.

MI. Norton's Speech.

We had speech in Ottawa, Wednesday
evening, from JEssEO. NORTON We heard
about an hour of it. He was in the midst
of reviewing his own platform, framed by
himself and adopted by his convention at
Morris, as we entered the court room. He
then proceeded to argue the constitutional
ity of the Presidents proclamation. Shade
of Webster what an argument He adj
mitted there was no power given the
President by the constitution to liberate
the slaves, but said, when the people Of
the u S. adopted the constitution, they
also adopted with it by implication the
law of nations, and by that law the Presi-
dent had the right to do anything to
weaken the enemy And pray, Mr.. Nor
ton, what foreign nation is this country at
war with If the Southern Confederacy is
foreign nation, what right have we to
fight their armies and desolate their coun-
try to compel obedience to our constitution
and laws? What right to hang their lead
ers or confscate their property for treason
Can one nation commit treason agains.
another? But suppose the law of nations
doss apply, that law condemns liberating
the slaves Of an enemy as q means Of
weakening him. When Lord Cochrane,
in the war of 1872, issued a proclamation
lberating the slaves Of Louisiana and in
yiting them inside his lines. this country,
on the conclusion of peace, appealing to
the laws of nations, compelled England to
pay for every negro thus enticed away
The only other part of Mr.. Norton's
speech we shall notice here was that where
he read the resolutions of the last Illinois
Democratic State Convention, placing
Northern and Southern extremists" on
the same level, and attempted to force
upon it the construction, that the demo-
cracy of Illinois thus denounce the Pres-
| dent and the whole republican party as
traitors including all uuder the head Of
Northern extremists" OF course the
convention meant no such thing, for in
another resolution which Mr. Norton read,
the convention call upon all loyal men to
Support the PRECEDENT in prosecuting the
war, and 10 rescue him from the pres
sure of these same Northern extremists"
The convention meant your Wendell
Phillipses, Summers, Greeleys, ,Ic, cate
cory in which we shall be 10th 10 place
even Mr. Norton, unless by such absurd
speeches as he made here he compels US
Mr. Norton is neithera pleasant speaker,
nor WAS his matter of any account Before
him sat Mr. Cook Was there a man in
the audience to whom the question did
not occur, what speech would pot Mr.
Cook make if he stood in Mr. Norton
pla-e. and how happens he not TO be
there? We can imagine no exp!d nation,
unless it be Bill Hopkins, of Morris.

JUICE TRuLBuLL is regarded, we believe

JUDGE Truthful is regarded, we believe,
as tolerably good republican authority
Yet what else by proclamation of eman-
cpation could he have been thinking
about, when, last spring, he said IN the U.
s Senate:
:" | want no other authority for putting
down even this gigantic rebellion than
such as may BE- derived from the constitution

avowai may for the moment be among the
thoughtiess, here declare that aH for

selves How are zee better than the rebels, j

War News of the Week.

Election matters occupy SO large a space
in our columns to-day, that we must be

The week, however, has afforded no strik-
ing movements.
McClellan's army finally commenced q

who commands full half of the army,

followed, and on Thursday his headquar-

now in Virginia. On Friday, our cavalry
had pushed as far as Aldie and Middle

the rebels are retreating or will fight at
Winchester, but day or two must deter

Hon. j. G.. Allen in Ottawa.

The melting at the Court House on
Thursday evening, to hear the Hon. J. C.
ALLEN, democratic candidate for Congress
for the State at large, was one Of these i'm
mense and enthusiastic outpourings of the
masses that reminded US ofthe days when
the democracy were in the ascendant, and
had Douglas to lead them to the charge.
The Court House was SO densely packed
that there was neither citing nor stand
ing room left; and the Speaker, full of
that vitality and enthusiasm that always
energises that man who knows his cause is
right and bound to win, had no difficulty
in imparing the same enthusiasm to his
hearers. The meeting was organized by
the appointment of the following officers:
/ JEREMIAH SrRAwH, President
! L. Leland, VIM Reddick, John V. A.
Hoes, 8. w. Cheever, J. NJ Nitschelm, and
F. B. Blust, vice Presidents, and
Arthur Lockwood and r. n. Goodsell
secretaries.
Mr. Allen being introduced, a~csnded
the stand, and was received with cheers.
Few in the audience had ever heard him,
and judging by the representations of pa
pers like the Chicago Tribune, expectation
was not high wrought in his favor 1t
was state of feeling all the more fortu-
nate for Mr.. A for it enabled him to take
the meeting by surprise. He began we'll;
AS he advanced, it soon became apparent
that he was a speaker of much more than
ordinary ability; but before he got through
hundreds We're ready to declare they
never before had heard an ADLER speech,
and enthusiasm ran so high that the au-
dience were ready to take the speake, on
their shoulders.
We do not propose, Al this late hour in
the canvass, to give sketch o. Ar. Aliens
speech. 1t is sutiici mt to say, that he
confined himself.o the live, practicalis issues
Of the day-the war and financial measures
of the present republican Congress, the
negro projects of the radicals, wko now
seem to possess the President, not omit
ting the scheme to Africauize Illinois, and
the Emancipation and habeas corpus Pro.
carnations of the President, -handling all
these topics in so mastery a manner that
it must have fastened conviction on every
mind in the audience
We are rcjoiced that Mr. Allen com
here and made this speech. Our people,
although well enough inclined to vote for
a man Of his conservative stamp, knew
little Of his real ability, and felt unenthu-
sias:ic, if not indigerent towards him
They have now seen, heard, and taken
him by the hand They now realize how
truly able, talented, warm hearted and
earnest patriot he is, Their hearts are
all aglow with enthusiasm for glorious Jim
Allen, aud they will turn out on Tuesday
next, vote and work for him, and give him
such a majority as no democrat has re-.
ceived in La Sale county in the last ten
years.

What the Hntc AIll Mean.

1t is said the President issued his eman-
cipation Proclamation against his better
judgment, and SO hastily and unexpect-
eddy, too, to give the people an opportu-
nifty at the fall elections to pronounce up
on it at the polls, so as to satitiy the radi-
cal abolitionists that they were mistaken
in tn cir constant assertions that the country
demanded of him such a measure. At all
events, the night after issuing it he made
a speech to q serenading crowd in Wash.
ington, in which he invited the people to
pronounce Judgment" upon it He says:
ct is now for the country and the world to pass
judgment upon it, and may be to take action up
on it."
Thepeople ofseveral states have already
taken faction upon the proclamation,
and passed their Judgment against it
Illinois, in obedience to the Presidential
invitation, will also speak her mind on
Tuesday next. That is all the vote then
given will mean. Shall the country, by ap.
proving the Proclamation, tell the Presi-
dent to go ahead, against his own better
judgment, on the programme Of the raids
calls and jacobins or shall they tell him
to stick TO the constitution and the Union
as bequeathed to us by cur fathers.
