Drafting will soon begin.

Well, lot it come. If the country is worth
saving and our nationality worth preserving,
then we must fight those who are aiming to
destroy them. The men must be had and
at once too, and no way offers now which
will secure them "a soon as wanted but by
drafting Let it come, all viii stand a fair
chance BY su eh method Not only should
all between Is and IS stand the draft, but
the able-bodied, either older or younger
should 20 into the ranks and run the chance
It may be satisfactory to the authorities, to
have volunteers in such towns as can get
them. We presume it will be so, aud that
many towns will prefer to ill their quota in
this way, but in those towns where there is
some secesh feeling, and there are stout
able-boded men discoura sing enlstments, let
the draft be resorted to and let those men
stand their chance.

c5mplished by them. The people, tie town,

counts with the government, and charged il
with 900 900 Of our best men, and the MIL

IN tJlerable heavy force is retreating before

cations. Each division has been taking
namoers OF prisoner, mostly scouts and
outlying pickets Of the enemy posted on the
summit Of the Blue Ridge and different
ko'ats along the route. Mlroy, befor leay-
W. Luray, assembled all the male inhabi-

ashlngton, u. g., July 3Ist.
The absence of officers and privatcs from
their duty under various pretexts, while re-
ceIying pay at great expense and burthen to
the Governments, makes it necessary that
efficient measures be taken to enforce their
return to duty. or that their places be sup
piled by those who will not take pay while
rendering no service This evil, moreover,
tends greatly to discourage the patriotic i'm
pulse of these who would contribute to sup
port the fam lies Of faithful soldiers
Ii is therefore ordered by the President -
fiFsf-rhat on Monday, the llth day Of

The latter had just driven the Irishmen
out when a detachment of policemen arrived
who began clubbing the negroes but discov-
ering their mistake. they attacked the Irish
men and soon quelled the disturbance.
A number OF both parties were arrested
and it was thought that there would be no
further trouble.
The Herald gives the following version Of
the origin OF the riot:
For several days plst the negro population

insulting language to white females on sew

of exciting the Indignation Of Irish laborers
in the neighborhood, some of whose wives
