1t is stated here on unquestionable author
ity that 10000 soldiers once belonging to the
Army Of the Potomac are now lettering over
The free States ss well as they ever were. The
President found on his late visit to Gen. Nc
Clellan that 10000 Of the troops taken to the
Peninsula are now missing or absent 1t is
impossible to believe that more than 10000
are dead, wounded or sick General MeOIell-
an expressed the opinion to the President that
more than half of the 10000 absent soldiers
are now well. How they got away it is al
most impossible 10 tell. a fact, however, has
just come to my knowledge which will seem
to elueidate the matter. A single member of
Congress has succeeded in getting furloughs
and discharges for BOO soldiers during the pres
ent session of Congress This is a fact, and
will show how The army has been depleted or
at least one way in which its numbers have
been reduced. The friends of soldiers-of
regiments have endeavored 10 get off every
soldier who was sick Of the service Members
of Congress desired to be popular in their dis
trict, and answered every call upon them

1Lr Edit0r 1t has been publicly talk
ed and believed to be true that Lieut.. G.
w Nash of Co. E., 1st Regiment Mis-
souri Cavalry, killed one Col Field, of
Pitts county, Missouri. In order to put
sympathizers with treason on the right
track, they VIII please read the following
from the Leavenworth Times:
q Journals sympathizing with secession
have been seeking to make capital out of
the fact that Lieut.. Nash, of the 1st Miss
ouri Cavalry, shot one Col. Field, near
Sedalia, few days since. He was 81 an
erring brother" and the utmost punish
ment that should have been inflicted,
think the sympathizers, was to make him
take the oath-in tumbler. The mat
ter is thus ventilated in the Journal of
Commerce, which gets the facts from the
report of Lieut., Nash to Major Banzhaff,
commanding the battalion
Lieut. Nash sent out under orders of
Major Banzhaff, with twenty-five or thir-
ty men, to capture band of guerrillas
supposed to be in the vicinity, and with
express orders to visit the house of Col.
Field, who was suspected of being In
completely with them, to ascertain from
him their whereabouts. Lieut.. Nash did
so, interrogating Field. who refused to
give the information, At the same time
acknowledging his ability to do So
Lieut.. Nash then proposed to give him
the choice OF being hung or giving the in
formation. Col. Field de6ed them, and
told Lieut.. Nash to hang him if he dared
but he would not tell Lieut.. Nash then
ordered him to mount, tying him down
to the horse He refused to guide the
horse IN the direction Of the robbers,
whereupon the Lieut.. told him than, not
having time to hang him, if he still re-
fused to discover the thieves, or protest
his ignorance, he should be Immediately
shot. He refused to do either After
having proceeded some three miles from
his house, and finding him still incorrigi-
BILE, he was accordingly shot. The party
then proceeded on, found the guerillas,
killed and captured a portion of them
and ascertained that this same Col. Field
was the acknowledged captain of the
band
This same Col Field, whom the Repub-
Gcan represents as zone Of the most high
II respected citizens" and lawyers of Pet
tbs county, who "had remained at home on
his own farm" during the war, is thus
found to be the leader and moving spirit
Of a band of outlaws How many such
respected" citizens have we in our coun-
try =? What loyal citizens but will pro-
nounce the summary punishment of this
wolf in sleeps clothing as just and right

Drafting.

A LAW OF Congress passed in 1892, entitled,
q An act to provide for the National Defense,
establishing a Uniform Militia throughout the
United States" and afterward amenned and
applied to all citizens capable of bearing arms
provides for the method of drafting, and, with
slight variations, win be adopted in all the
States where the draft now ordered is made
The militia Of the State having heen first en-
rolled, the requisite number of names to ell
the quota of the county, or township, or ward,
are drawn by lot, in the presence of prescrib-
ed officials. Tickets for the entire number of
militia enrolled are made out If the quota
calls for, say, one out OF every four, one mark
ed ticket is prepared to every four, and be for
whose name the prize happens to be drawn is
notified of the fact, and an opportunity given
to prove himself exempt or provide a substi.
tute; failing in which, he is compelled to serve
or submit TO severe penalties, which in most
Of the States includes Imprisonment The
physical disqualifcations are: wounds 'inthe
head impairipg the mental faculties or affrc-
ting seriously the physical system; defective
hearing. speech, or vision; active disease of the
heart; hernia, irredueible; fstula in ano; her
morrhoips; painful Yarcose veins, loss of limb,
Of the thumb and fore finger of the right hand,
or two fingers on either hand; loss of the great
toe; or any chronic disease or defect which
renders man unfit for service. There are
speeia. exemptions, as in the case Of telegraph
operators, and such as are exempt by the law
to which we have referred
A drafted soldier enjoys none of the boun-
ties provided for the volunteer, who receives
the full bounty, twenty-five dollars advance
boanty, one months advance pay, thirteen dol
lars; IS dollars at the end of his term of en-
listment. and bounty of leo acres of land.
The drafted soldier simply kreceives SI3 per
month, without any advance pay or bounty
In this State the advance pay and bounty will
cease after the 18th inst. The draft just or
dered is for nine months, at which the law lin
its it. Those, therefore, who desire to enjoy
the more liberal terms offered to the volunteer
must make up their minds at once, and enlist,
or they may find themselves subject TO the
draft, which is to be general in all the States.
Those who expect to escape the draft by re-
moving 10 a neighboring State or county will
find themselves sorely mistaken. They will be
picked ap. wherever they are and have all the
trouble and disgrace of running away from the
service Of their country 70: nothing.

THE NEWS


Although there have been 10 battles in the
vicinity OF Richmond, there have been, during
the week. number or reconuoisances and
cavalry demonstrations resulting in occasional
encounters with the enemy, in all Of which
success has 5eeH on ear eide. Reports from
Washington say important movements are
pending, that the "qaiet Of the James river
is not to remain undisturbed, that aggressive
operations on our part are being resumed-and
all information from the army in that region
goes to confirm the report
Burnside with his entire force started on an
expedition some days since, the nature of which
was rot known; but it is announced that he
will be heard from very soon and satisfactorily

appointed army, continues his progress South.

in demonstration against Richmond
A battle is reported to have occurred seven
miles. east of Memphis on Sunday last, be-
tween 1000 Union troops and a rebel force
under JEFF Thompson, in which our forces
were the victors, driving the rebels back with
great slaughter. More fighting was antiei-
pated

and Southwestern Kentucky They seriously

of outrages against the Union inhabitants of
these States.
Nothing is known of the movements or
present whereabouts of Buel's army-though
there is reason to hope that favorable accounts
from It will be received ere long
Our feet has Withdrawn from Fieksburg,
and the work of capturing that place seems to
be abandoned for the present.
The order Issued for draft of 100000 men
in addition to the call for as many volunteers,
has inspired the public with confidence that
the whole force of the Government will if nee
essary be put forth to crush the rebellion, and
the gloom caused by late reverses is rapidly
giving place 10 feeling of assurance that
change for the better is about to be realized
The President, in reply to applications for
authority to raise negro regiments in the north,
announced it as his fixed purpose not TO arm
blacks, but to use them in all other ways in
which their services can be made available or
profitable III the army or navy. This policy
is not to be departed from unless the progress
OF events shall call for change
Recruiting is progressing most satisfactorily
under the late call for 100000 Volunteers
Some States have already raised their quota,
others have nearly succeeded. and it is sup
posed that by the 18th inst. all except perhaps
the Border slave States wilI have recruited the
number assigned them. In the Border States
drafting will probably be necessary.

powers Of the world that our naval resources
have been almost as enormously estimated
abroad as our military power Twelve
months ago we had So vessels ofwar. Of all
kinds, about 80 of which were steamers. We
have now 292 vessels, all Of which are propell-
ed by steam. except few sailing corvettes and
frigates, which can at any time be cut down,
converted INTO iron plated rams or sloops of
war, and propelled by steam. We bad 5000
sailors and marines year ago, There are
now over 23,0 0 seamen in the United States
navil service; the marine corps has been doub-
I'D, and, besides, proporlionate increase of
officers on the regular staff, Commanders.
Lieutenants and minor officers, have been easi-
ly obtained for nearly 200 vessels, purchased
or charted for war purposes. These are facts
which should make European nations hesitate
before they still further tax our resources.
