Tho SituatIOn.

The President has called for 100000 men fol
three years, and 100000 more for nine months
This means that the war is to be pushed to q
swift conclusion. Eitherwe shall whip or be
whipped before next April. There is to be nc
more war that hurts nobody-somebody will be
damaged. Treason win not hereafter be safel
than loyalty. And this will be true both Nortf
and South The few who have attempted an op.
position to the war here at the North, will speed
lily see that their safety lies in speedy concess'
ion. Theman who now reveals himself traitor
should be branded like Cain, that all may shun
him.
A draft will not be agreeable but when once
the public mind has considered it, there will be
thorough agreement that this is the right course
and as to the policy Of putting down the rebel
ion by strong hand there can be no differences
Of opinion

DraFtIng.

It is evident from the alacrity with which
the people of Sandusky county are enlisting in
the service of the country, that drafting will not
be necessary to fill its quota Of the first call for
100000 men. And we are of the opinion that
there need be no drafting to fill its quota ofthe
second call for the nine months service, if a
little time is extended to the people to enable
them to make the necessary preparations to leave
their business. There is a patriotism and devo-
tion TO the Union among the people ofthis coun-
ty, that needs no coercion 10 force them into lis
defense. They only want to be satisfied thai
they are needed, and to know that they will no'
be kept in inactivity in camp to waste away by
disease or what is worse, be compelled to stand
guard over the property of rebels who ought to
be hung.

JoHSsoNs 8 ISLAND August 4th, 1869.
Editor Fremont Journal:-I noticed an ex-
tract in this mornings Sandusky Register from
your paper, complaining of the prisoners on the
Island being permitted to faunt black and red
flags at excursionists passing up and down the
bay, and furthermore saying that were you sem
tinel you would shoot any one who did it.
Do not imagine for a moment that it is from a
lack of devotion TO the "Stripes and Stars" in
the sentinels that they permit such displays, but
in obedience to orders from the officers not 10
tce such things Nay more; regular Seccsh
flags are suspended from the windows within
thirty feet of the guard, and he is not permit
ted TO even order them down, butte quietly walk
his beat and swallow the insult to his govern
ment and flag.
On Saturday such a rag was hung out in the
presence of the soldiers, who determined to
brook the thing no longer, and by a shower of
stones soon caused its removal. The officer of
the day Capt Follett, of Company A, display
ed great amount of energy in trying to disco
yer the authors of this outrage on the feelings
Of the "chivalry."
On the preceding time that Capt. Follett was
officer of the day, he ordered that nothing but an
attemptto escape justified a sentinel firing on a
prisoner that they were confined there on char
ges against them of which they knew nothing
that they had not bec,, prored gritty Of anything

While it would be greatly preferable if this
war could be carried through TO a speedy termi-
nation without resort to draft there would GER
tainly be better army obtained, in point Of ma
terial, by drafting than by volunteering. The
Chicago Tribune thus sets forth some of the ad-
vantages of draft;
awe must not deceive ourselves on this point
Men are wanted time is precious, our army must
be filled, and--it is not being filed by volun-
teering. II you seek the reason, answer the
question why you do not go yourself;-ask your
Ineighbor why he does go2 The ties that hold
men TO civil life and bone duties are those which
il req uires nerve to sunder The people wish
to know the truth. The Government will be
best served by plain statement ofthe facts and
an open remedy. We are not writing OF Him
os alone, but our opinion is made up from facts
sought from divers and distant points in other
States. IN all of them, from Maine to Minneso-
ia, there is delay in comming forward. In all
of them, men are seriously acknowledging the
necessity of ultimate drafting. Why not OPEN
ly and fairly accept necessity so apparent.
Besides, there are reasons why this method of
collecting an army are better than any other
Government may thus have its pick Of men. A
soldier needs stout heart but he must have
stout legs. He is the better for an earnest pa.
triotisrn, but he is useless without vigorous
powers ofdgestion. For these acquisitions the
system ofmedieal inspection is provided, Any
well-yersed medical practitioner is aware ofwhai
is the fair average of well and sound men in a
community, and how many weaklings go to an
average city crowd. The point we would make
is this that in the pressure for men by volun-
teering, physical weakness are kept out of sight
and by fayoritism of the dealinspector many
men are passed who are unsuitable. Any vis-
itor to our camps and hospitals during the past
year has had his heart pained by the pale boy
faces turned UP 70 him from The hard cot, or
looking wistfully at him from the ranks ON the
toilsome march, Beyond all question, the earn
estness of these men who thus evade the rules
of service is admirable but if "the spirit is viii
ling, the flesh is weak" The prominent char
acteristic of the sgood soldier" is his physical
capacity to ''endure hardship"
Now, on the contrary, when the draft begins,
the officers will for their own interests take only
able bodied men, and the process will be in re-
verse to that above named. All the weaknesses
will come out in the rigid inspection, and areg-
iment of 600 men viii be Just ten hundred
able bodied, healthy and hardy men. These
are what we need, for we are not playing wal
amy longer"

Poindexter, another notorious marauder with
about an equal number of men, was marching
