The Army-Its Immense Size.

The new drafts will givethe Gov
eminent one million of men, who
can be placed inthe field, if the civ
il officers of the loyal States do
their duty, in time for the fall cam
paign, fully armed and equipped.
TO understand the immensely of
such q force 1t would be necessary
to see them drawn up in array. A
line marching in single file, allow
ing two feet for each soldier, would
stretch nearly three hundred and
eighty miles, and marching at the
rate Of thirty miles per day, would
occupy nearly two weeks in passing
a given point; marching in sections
of four, with the necessary room FOR
baggage trains and cavalry, at the
rate of thirty miles per day, they
would extend one hundred and fifty
miles, and the head Of the column
leaving q given point on Monday
morning, the rear guard would not
reach the same point till Friday
night. One million of men on pa
per is easily expressed; to ARM,
equip, and feed such o host has
never yet been essayed by a civil
lied people. So says an exchange.

1900 miles Of submarine cable
laid in various parts Of the world
Between London and Algiers there
are 600 miles of cable laid at 6

are 8 submarine cables in opera

thirty conductors, and are of the

wonderful feat Of tclegraphing was
executed at a Geographic soirec

on the Goth of last March. The
wires of the different telegraph
companies were brought into Mr.,
Gurney's house, and from thence
the Earl of SALISBURY sent a mes

About Drafting Foreigners.

Inquiry is made as to the liabili-
ty of foreigners to a draft. The
following principles may serve as a
guide to those interested:
First-The foreigner who has
not thrown off his nationally, is, of
full right and without any possible
dispute, exempt from any andevery
obligation to perform military du-
ty, no matter how protracted his
residence in the United States.
Second-The children of these
foreigners, even if born within the
United States, necessarily follow
the condition of their parents, and
cannot be compelled to assume the
title and obligations of an Ameri-
can citizen, unless, upon attaining
their majority, they shall, by acts
of their own, have laid aside the
nationality of their family.
Third-The abdication of the
original nationality can result only
from formal naturalization or the
exercise of the rights of the Ameri
can citizen. Those who, having
made declaration of their intention
to become American citizens, stop.
ped there, have, in no wise, lost
their position as foreigners.
Fourth-The son of anaturalized
foreigner is an American of full
right, if he be born after such nat
uralization.
Fitth-But if he be born previous
to it, and particularly if he is born
in his fathers former country, he
retains the right to choose between
the two nationalities, at the period
of his majority.

THE TENNESSEE PRISONERS.


An encouraging token Of returning 10y
atty, or rather the release of that senti-
ment, is furnished in the disposition mani
fested for tome past by the Tennessee
prisoners Of war in this city and Indian
apolis. Tee prospect Of q near exchange
has not made these men happy. At Camp
Morton few days since 1900 of
these joined in remonstrance asainst
again being forced into rebel ranks. TEey
have no heart in war into which they
were originally driven at the point of the
bayonet, and their term as prisoners in our
hands has been far less distasteful than the
same period in the rebel camp.
With these facts existing, there is emf
ueDt fitness in the fact that the secre-
tary Of War has placed the dispo-
eel of the rebel prisoners from this
State, now confined in the various pris-
one Of the North, in the hands of Governor
Andy johnson. He is empowered to ef-
feet the release Of all those prisoners who
have expressed an anxious desire to return
to their allegiance to the federal govern.
ment, and are willing to take the oath and
give bond for lis faithful observance
Those who are still disloyal will be
exchanged by the cartel and sent
to companionship Of traitors.
In pursuance with the order Of the Sec
retMy of War, Gen. Wm. B. Campbell has
been appointed commissioner by Governor
johnson to visit the Tennessee prisoners,
and make the proper disposal Of them, ac-
coTding to their merits OF demeriss. His

Mr. Hooper's bill to provide national,
currtncy is an apparent concession on the
part OF those who make money out of lamn-
black and rags, to the demand tksr this
Eulnous multiplication Of paps Currency
shan be curtailed. BUTT is. .ooly an appa-
rent concession. 1t is just such a bill as a
wild cat banker would draw to &C.
cure him in the peaceful exercise Of his
game. It is 8 bill, not to provide d
national currency, but to secure contiuu
alton Of the present ring -streaked aud
speekled system, which is sure to ruin the
country unless oyerhauled by the national
legislature. The bill in brief provides that
all banks may issue, currency to auy
amount by depositing United States stock
to the amount Of eighty per cent. Of
such circulation, but il does not prohibit
banks finn gsjng on in to old slip &hod stvz.
= thty prefer to do 30. A tax Of one Der
cent. On the circulation is imposed UPON
dofh-those who deposit the stocks and
those who do not. We will not noH dis
cuss the system Of stock banking. Illinois
has tried it dozen years or more, with no
very favorable results. Il is a sufficient
comment on the bill to say that it is not
compulsory: The one per cent. tax is lust
one per cent. In the right direction, but it
will amount to nothing practically. It
will merely give the sanction Of Congress
to the present irresponsible, irredeemablo
currency with which the country is flooded,
The makers will pay the tax and issue
enough more to make themselves whole.
They have suspended specie payment, and
OF course it costs them nothing to print a
few extra sheets Of deceptive promises.
We trust that Congress will net accept
this homeopathic reform. Either make
Thorough work, or leave the whole ques-
ton to the chapter Of accidents, which will
one day settle it satisfactorily.
