Nor THAT MAN But ANOTHER MAN.-An IN
cident occurred during the recent sitting Of an
ecclesiastical body in this city, which we can
not refrain from giving to our readers, Ia
though it partakes rather more Of protane
them sacred nature. A worthaI member
of the body referred to. met a gentleman on
the street, and mistaking him for brother
clergyman, ran forward and clasped him by
the hand, exclaining in tia terTor OF religious
enthusism:
"Dear brother NJ, am truly glad to see
you, how prospes the good cause in your
section?"
The gentlemen thus adressed, who happen
ed to be Cincinnati merchant, supposing his
newly found fisud to be a gentleman to
whom he had been introduced few days
previously on change in Toledo, promptly re-
piled to the question propounded:
"My dear fellow, things down our way just
now are damnably mixed. Whiskey has the

No Draft Necessary.

The extract from the Albany Journal of Tues
day, which we publish in another column, will I've
received wi q thrill of genuine sati ,factiOn. il
appears from this tina, volunteers will be received
towards the second 800 600, till the prepara ions
for making the draft are com ctCd. This point
can not be reached before the Isl of September
even it then. Therefore, a an official order will
probably announce, tie time of voluntC ering is
extended for fifteen DAYS. The War Depart
ment, in making this IN )diica ion known to the
Governor, added the r,ma!k that if enough vol
un,eers Offered 10 till NJ the old regim, MS, per-
haps no draft will be made. The quota of the
State for this pucpose would be about tifty-four
thousand. This, then, is the work now to be
done.
The present phase of popular feeling in con-
neclion with the war is different from ANYTHING
vet seen. though il i not less sublime than the
sudden and almost fearful uphcavings of year
a-o. From an apparent apathy-frcm even, in
some quarer state almost of hostility TO the

aroused itself shaken off all sluggish moods AMI

From his letters, as well "a his former proceed
