Shall There be n Draft!

We decidedly favor resort To the policy OF
drafting in filling up the new regiments, not with
the view of superseding the volunteering. but as
an addition to our present system OF recruiting.
There is 10 doubt that. all things considered,
drafting is the fairest method, since it operates
equally upon all classes, and besides it is The
gency. 1t need not however, interfere with the
voluntary system, those wishing to enlist can
still be received as at present, when they will OF
course be entitled to the same bounty. No one
can question the right of Government to resort To
this additional means for its protection.-IOtedO

Plain Talking.

II there are strenuous efforts being made to
weaken the effect of the exertiOns Of Northern
aboltionists, and produce a more conservative
policy, with view to restoration Of the Union
as it was. their own exertioas do not seem to be
pretermitted in the least. and they speak as bold
ly and defantly as If sure of the prestige that
knows no defeat.
The Essex county Massachusetts, anti Slavery
Society held a meeting on the 18th Of June, and
passed the following resolutions:
l. Resolred, That as aboIitionists. devoted TO
the great work of overthrowing slavery, We re-
nov and repeat our old pledge. mo Union with
Shareholders" No support of any Administra-
ton or Government that permits slavery on any
portion of Its sol-and We value this war only as
We believe it must lead to emancipation by order
of the Federal authorities, or TO dissolution OF
the Union. which must speedily produce the same
result
3 Res0lced. That the war, as hitherto prosecu-
ted, is but wanton waste of property, dread
full sacrifice Of life. and worse than all of con-
science and character, 10 preserve and perpetuate
Union and Constitution which should new er
have existed, and which. by all the laws of jus
tce and humanity, should. in their present form,
be at once and forever overthrow.
The Providence Rhode Island) Post, in refer
ring to this Abolition meeting and proceedings,
says:
These are the resolutions of men who de-
nounce Democrats traitors, and who get up
MODS, tar and feather citizens who contend for
the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was,
and whose only other offense is that they de
nounce AbOtionists as enemies of the country.
Ii such resoutions-resolutions, we mean, equal
ly treasonable-had been passed in Democratic
meeting or convention. their proInulgators would
have been sent 10 Fort Warren; but the

The Government wants these troops, not next

is only one man in every sixty OF our population.
By resorting to the draft, and calling alike on
the rich and poor, the banker and the mechanic,
can raise gu, 900 troops in one week. Owing
to the high wages obtained by labor, it is more
difficult to raise 20 900 troops at the present time
than it to raise 300 900 troops last year. We
must and should resort to draft. If the man of
wealth does not w1nt to shoulder musket, let

An Interview Between the Border

An Interview Between the border
state Congressmcn and the Presi-
dent.
The telegraph states that, by invitation. the
Border State Congressman had an interview with
the President. during which he urged upon them
system of gradual emancipation, aud limited
strongly that # this plan was not adopted gen
eral emancipation would come under less pleas
ant circumstances"
The Border State Congressman held caucus
on Saturday night to consider and frame a reply
to the President. report of their proceedings
says:
There three points apparently agreed on.
First. that the border States have come up to
the full demands of the Government maue on
them. and have raised fully $4,000 men and
will raise their quota under the new call As
regards the foes To the emancipation offer they
say il isn't practicable nor specific. 1t proposes
a change which can only be enforced through
State Conventions. Kentuckys present Consti-
tuition requires four years to call Convention
and have it meet. After meeting States
consent there would be no act of Congress &c
consummate aud the question would still be an
open one whether the Government could ap
propriate the millions needed carry out the
scheme
Specific legislation should preclude State prep
aratlons. To obviate delays of organized State
action, the border representatives think the offer
should be made at once and directly To the ind
vdual citizens of slave States. and then the
question will be at once solved. Congress would
at once prove its willingness To appropriate the
money, and he States sh their readiness To
aid the Union. even at the sacrifice of radical
change in their social organic ,ton
In conclusion they say: We assure the Presi-
dent that our constituents revere the Constitution
and Union rs dearly ever; that they admire his
heroic efforts 80 tar to preserve BOTH and on that
platform will not be surpassed by any portion OF
the Union in furnishing men and money for the

DRILLING BETTER THAN BROADCAST.
Drilling in field seeds is becoming quite
common, but not enough so. Too many
still adhere to broadcast sowing greatly
against their own interests. 1t certainly
stands to reason, that twelve stalks of
wheat, or oats, or other grain, will do bet
ter if each grows on plot three inches
square, than if one such plot contain three
or four stalks crowded together, while an
other plot has more. But this happens
very frequently in field sown broadcast.
Again, if one seed be covered but half an
inch, and the next one be worked down
three or four inches by the harrow tooth,
the two will come up unevenly, and grow
uncvenly. Air and sunlight are impor-
tant agents in promoting the growth of
plants, and the full effect of these can on
ly be secured where the stalks are grow
ing at something like uniform distances
apart. The expense of a drill is the main
objection TO its introduction everywhere.
But single bushel more of grain per
acre, on ten or twenty acre field will 60
far 10 meet the cost Of the drill, or at
least pay very high interest on the cost.
And who doubts that much more than
the extra bushel will always be secured BY
judiciously using a seed drill.-American
Agriculturist.

ufacture an article Of so much value"
"Ofso much value !" repeated Armand,
who, with his hand already on tho door
knob, bethought himself at last to ask
the price of this parasol.
"Three thousand francs, SIR"
"Three thousand francs p exclaims the
engineer; it is price for an empress"
mo, sir; the parasol Of the empress
cost six thousand francs"
Becoming thoughtful, Armand paused,
re-entered the warehouse, and said to the
manufacturer:
"I desire you to wait; / will consult
the person who wishes the parasol, and
will return"
He traverses the Boulevard, slowly
twirling his moustache, and, in fit of
absence, runs against friend who hap
pened to be in his way.
"What figure for lover! What is
the matter, Armand?"
He is friend of his childhood-a col
lege friend Armand relates to him the
history of the parasol.
"Do not marry that young GIRL" says
his friend; "you will not be happy! This
parasol is worth rs much as tho interest
of her dowry. How will you satisfy her
with your ten thousand pounds, if you are
obliged to give three thousand francs to
shield her from an August sun? Retreat
while it is yet time, and thank the sun
shine."
The advice was followed; Armand re-
quested a release from his engagement.
Emeline returned the corbelle; and such
is the blindness with which the love Of
luxury strikes young hearts, she expert
enced only the vexation of child. Per-
haps she afterwards regretted Armand
Varnes. Accused luxury! how many
woes may parasol shade! How many
stitches grow from one of Alencon lace !!
Armand went to Germany. At the
expiration of three months he became
consoled, and married. He returned,
bringing with him two beautiful blue eyes,
which seemed made TO look at the sky
without the thousand crown lace. These
eyes express serenity of soul which still
adorns Anna, the portionless German,
whom Armand has made his happy wife.
He has given her the magnificent corbelle
of the Creole; it surpasses all the simple
child of the Rhine has ever dreamed
One day, on the arm of her husband,
she found herself in the presence of En-
cline, on the Boulevard.
"What a pretty girl" said Anna,
raising her parasol of one hundred francs
to look at her.

DECISION AND DEsTINY.-Pizarro, the
conqueror of Peru, in one of his reverses,
was cast on the Island of Gallo, with a
few of his follows. When in a starving
condition, two vessels arrived from Pana-
ma for his relief and to induce him to
abandon his object Now came the test
of his decision of character, and the de-
termination of his earthly destiny
Drawing his sword, he traced a line with
il on the sand from east to west. Then
turning towards the south, {" Friends and
comrades" he said, con that side are toll,
hunger nakedness, the drencbing storm,
desolation and death; on this side, ease
and pleasure. There lies Peru with It's
riches-here Panama and its poverty
Choose each man, what becomes brave
CastiIian. For my part ! go to the south"
So saying, he stepped the line. He was
followed by eleven others, and Peru was
onquered.-PrescoH.
