" Ae HlNdIoN, u. u, Aug. 4.
Ordered-1st. That draft of three
hundred thousand militia be immedi-
ateiy called into the service of the United
States, to serve for nine months, unless
sooner discharged. The Secretary of
War will assign the quotas to the States,
and establish regulations for the draft.
I'd. That if any State shall not, by the
10Th of August furnish its quota Of the
additional BOG, 900 volunteers authorized
by law, the deficiency of volunteers in
that State will also be made up by a
special draft from the militia. The
Secretary of War will establish regula-
tions for this purpose.
Sd: Regulations will be prepared by
the War Department, and presented to
the President with the object of securing
the promotion of officers of the army and
volunteers for meritorious and distin-
guished services, and of preventing the
nomination and appointment in the
military service of incompetent and un-
worthy officers. The regulations will
slso provide for ridding the service of
such incompetent persons as now hold
commissions.
By the President.

that if they wanted to be free. they had
"a good chance. The darkies, on this

The War News

The news from the various divisions
of the army is very meagre. Some
thing startling, will, undoubtedly, be
heard from the James river very soon.
The rebels have thrown she'll. into
McClellan's camp, occasionally, within
the last week, killing few of our men,
but doing no great amount of mischief.
1t is reported that two great iron
clad ships which the rebels have been
building at Richmond are completed,
and ready for service. The James river
has been partially blockaded, and
McClellan's supplies greatly endangered
The mortar feet and gunboats com
mandedShy Com Porter. which had been
besieging Yieksburg SO long, were or.
dered to the James river some time since.
They are now there, and,the last report
from that, point is, that Mcclellan was
embarking on board of transports, but
the object is not clearly stated Most
of our navy is now there, and if the OBJ
Ject is MOTTO bring away the remnant of.
the magnificent army of the Potomac,
we. may look for the report of an at
tempt to storm Richmond God grant
thatour forces may be in condition to
make the attack successfully. a very
few days will lift the vail of mystery
now covering our operations in thak

The guerrillas are increasing in mum
bersand audaeity in many places in the
border States.
A magnificent scheme is published
by the New York Herald, as a pro-
gramme Of the rebels for the summer
They are to act upon the
offensive-to let our armies quietly dig
trenches in the South, while they, the |
rebels, move in three vast divisions into |
The Free States, capturing Washington
and Baltimore on the way. If a sufffii-
