force, numbering it is said, 100. The result
was the overwhelming defeat of JOHNSON and the
capture of 300 prisoners. including himself. The

Wright shows no such swinish ingratitude for his
Senatorial acorn-f he fails to pay the price for
it, il is from a want Of assets The guild RBRcs
supposed that the appointment Of Wright was to
rekinde the old Bright and Wright feud, and the
Governor is made to tread in the footsteps of his
lustriOus predecessor; that is, Bright was ca
ressed when he made speeches 10 bring defeat
upon the Democratic party. and now 10 is enjoy
ing that kind of ovation. But 10 has senss
enough to see the modest request that he shall
lay his head upon the block to fall under Voor-
hees's scimitar, and declines to be made that

But to his speech: He charged Buchanan with
being the author of the war, and the luminous
proof only equalled his great discovery that coal
oil was to outrival cotton as article of com
merce Slavery exists in Kansas as much as in
South Carolina" There It is solved as clearly
as a mathematical problem. He poured out di
vers vias of wrath on Bright and Brecknridse;
saw ghosts, hobgoblins, and Knights of the
Golden Circle by egions, aud fought these fairies
in true QuixOtic style. He sneered at men who
would talk about the liberty of speech, taxes.

Tennessee, North Carolina, &c. to go out of the

And yet with this hint to the people not to elect

remark struck all who knew that the Governor
had abored for thirty years to inoculate the peo-
pie with Democracy.
He spoke Of the no party character of the Fed
eral and State Governments and instanced the
appointments of Stanton, Pope, Halleck. Nc
Clellan, and Mortons appointments. He did not
say that his appointment was its GROWING glory,
though his honest trusts of no party loyalty did.
He had no word of censure for Republicans

The Military Bountics.

The bonnties paid and to be paid by Govern
ment TO the new Volunteers, already amount to
81 10000 OF these, 81 COO 600 have already
been paid. For several days, recent Washing
ton letter says, all other payments FROM the treas
ury have been suspended, for the sake of closing
these up. IL is supposed that another day or two
will pay off the remaining S3,0O00OO. These,
of course, are merely the bouniies paid by the
National Government Ii is estimated that the
other bountes paid by State Governments. coun
ties, towns, corporations. &c, will swell the
amount expended beyond the legitimate payment
of soldiers wages and outfit in raising volun-
teers, under the Presidents call for 3OO,et0, to
fully $50 900 OO0

Draftfug.

We copy the following from the Washington
dispatches TO the Cincinnati Gdzette:
Secretary Stanton stated To day that the order
for drafting to fill up the old regiments would he
inforced without fail by the first of September.
Old regiments wb;ch have not been recruited up
to their full strength before that time will at once
be filed by draft This matter has only been
delayed thus long by the desire to have the old
regiments filled up with men whose term of ser
vice would last as long as the rest Of the regi
ment. Men drafted into old regiments can only
be held for nine months while the rest of the
regiments are of course he'd for full term of en-
iistment

The President Defines his Policy.


We publish this morning a letter from Horace
GREELEY. to the President demanding the employ
ment OF the most ultra Abolition measures IN
the prosecution of the war, regardless of cousti-
tutional obligations. and in the telegraph COL
umus will be found the Presidents answer there
to- The response OF Mr. LINCOLN is eminentIy
characteristic Of the man. The Presidents posi-
ton, however, as he defines it, gives hope that
he will not yield to the pressure from the radical
members of his party. Ii he had simply occu-
pied the ground that it was his purpose to restore
the Union under the Constitution, and to accom-
plish that end he would use ali the means at his
disposal 20 speedily crush out the rebellion it would
give him moral strength that would be irresis-
tible. 1t is the duty of every conservative cit-
zen to encourage and sustain the President in re
sisting the radical counses which environ him.
Let him feel that the great body of the people
are utterly opposed to the schemes of the SUM
SERs. the GRgELEYs. and the PHILLIPsEs, and it
will strengthen him In adherng to the policy
which he and Congress, in July, 1861, declared
should govern the nation in the prosecution of
the war.
The counsel Of Mr.. GREELEY to the President
comes with i'll grace from man who has over
and over declared that the people of the seeded
States had the right to withdraw from the Union
whenever. in their judgment. its Government had
become oppressive to them and their interests.
