The DRAFTING CoNsussIoE.-Now that
all excitement OF the subject has died out,
We think we may congratulate the commits
sioner and his assistants upon the thorough.
ness and general accuracy with which their
labor has been performed. 90 general was
the impression among the ward committee
men that the draft was impartial, that moth
ing human could change the disposal Of the
ballots, that they became, in many cases, ez-
tremely excited as to the results in regard TO
themselves personally. We saw one man SO
nervous that he could hardly write. Another,
who had remembered the fact that two of.the
previous committee had been drawn, sat at the
end Of the table with bis face buried in his
Asts, his bright hair and whiskers all erect
with attention, and his eyes staring at the
PoTtentous wheel, drawing the most excru-
eisting tighs Of relief after each name was
called, until the last ticket was slowly unfold
ed, and the commissioner read the name Of
the expectant himself. "By -, boys,
I'm goner; III never be on a committee
sgain." The ward next to be drafted elect
ed a committee, but the committee "couIdn' t
think Of accepting SO great responsibility. !"

SUsPIcIoUs.-0ne Of the eonscripts from
Ashland county is in very unpleasant pre-
dicament. A few days previous to the draft
he was engaged in making a poke for his
colt In using a sharp axe he cut his fore
and middle fingers ofhis rigbthand complete
ly of. This, in these suspicious and delicate
times, was Of itself rather doubtful acci
dent, but on examination of his fingers it
was found that the fore finger had been
chopped of At q sharp right angle, while the
middle digital was cut slanting like pruned
twig. The question is whether it must not
have taken two blows to make such gerry
Wandering cut, while by his account the OP-
Grafton was performed in one.

CAMP CLEvTLAHD-There are fifteen
hundred drafted men now in camp here
They have not as yet been organized, and
the military authorities have their hands full
of business A difference in the interpreta-
ton of the instructions to drafting Commits
sioners exists between the officers of this
and those Of adjoining counties. Mr.. Rice
understands the law to require the conscripts
to be notified, when the entire business of
drafting, together with the exempting of
those who furnish three years substitutes, is
finished. Five days from that notification
are then allowed for settling their affairs, be-
fore the men are to report in camp. This
appears to US to be just way Of arranging
matters. The neighboring Commissioners,
however, deemed it their duty to send the
men to rendezvous Eve days after the ballot
ing was literally finished. This technical
Interpretation has, in several instances, csus-
ed great hardships. Men have been obliged
to answer to the call, with barely half an
hours notification. One man on business at
Cincinnati was, we understand, notified by
telegraph, and went into camp without visit
ing home at all. The camp authorities are
not able to provide for the new cOmers as sat
isfactorily as they could wish, and would
like to have the recruits kept away as long
as the law would strictly allow.

A CONFIDENCE GANE.-Charles Millard
has been caught at the old, old game.
Charles is a professional expert He has
gained fame, if not fortune, in the exercise of
his calling. Charles has however shown
slight weakness, such as all great men are
subject to. Charles has not been discreet,
and Marshal Gallagher has taken advantage
OF him in a very unbecoming manner.
Charles was arrested yesterday. He had
played the very common place game Of not
having the small bills for twenty-five dol
lars, and borrowed that sum Of a newly made
soquaintance, Edwin Brockett, by name,
traveller bound for Illinois In heartless
snd selfish manner Charles deserted bis
friend, Mr.. Brockett, in the course Of de-
Iightful promenade through our city, and for
got also to pay the twenty-five dollars which
he had borrowed ofhis obliging friend. Mr..
Brockett sought to find in the superior wis
dom of Marshal Gallagher an explanation Of
Millard's conduct, and the shrewd Marshal
sought and found Charles and the friend
70 whom he had paid the borrowed money,
and placed them in the watch house. The
borrowed money could not be found, and
Hr. Broekett went on his way sorpowing.

FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.
Market without interest except fair
jobbing trade. Importers find it difficult
to force a sale at any thing like current
rates. Many goods are now arriving via
Isthmus, under instructions to sell and
remit gold in return by steamer. The con-
sequence is general destined and depress-
i've regarding the future of the market
for the leading staples.
Proposals are said to be urged at Wash
ington for raising 10000 cavalry in Cali
fOrnia. 1t is regarded here as impractical
bic if they are intended to enter service
before the fall of 1863 They could not
start across the plains before April or
May, arriving in Missouri in July or Au-
gust, in worn down and half starved con-
dition. 10000 cavalry horses would cost
in California twice their value in the
eastern States.

Descriptions Of Fl. Doneisol


Fort Donnelson is an earth-work, and
was constructed last summer, at the same
time as Fort Henry. but is much strong
er fertilization than the latter. Is iis situa-
ted near Dover, and on the bluffy bank Of
tho Cumberland, where the river makes an
obtuse angle. The fort lie surrounded by
high and steep hills, heavily wooded, and
its strength is materially aided by two re-
doubts, trenches: and riae'pits. It was 70
Gently armed with twenty heavy gun 8
which are ranged in two tiers on:parapets.
The.uppcr tier..of guns would not::be effect
i've if the river was low : as they could not
be discharged at any object neatly under
them without danger Of being dismounted
from their carriages. As the Cumberland,
however, is high and rising. these guns
were effective against our gun boats.
A railroad, which communicates with
Memphis, GAINESVILLE, Nashville, RUSSELL
vile and Bowling Green, passes but . few
miles south Of the fort.
The distance from Fort Donelson to
GAINESVILLE is 80! milos; 10 Nashville 81
miles; to Bowling Green, "a miles and to
Memphis, 100 miles.
Bowling Green has been occupied BY
Federal Troops under Gen. Mitchell.

Senator Dixon.

A correspondent of the Hapk-Eye speaks
in complementary terms of Senator Dixon Of
this County, as an intelligent man, and q
good speaker, but radical Democrat
Where the:conespondent got this impression
from we are at loss to determine, unless it
be presumption Bumped at from the fact
that nothing better could be expected from
Wapello, and that no constituency who
could send such men as Flint and Nc
Gloughlin to represent them, couldIsend a
man Of the character and ability of j. w.
Dixon. At all events, we take occasion to
say to all concerned that Mr.. Dixon, al
though formerly Democrat, has for several
years been prominent and honored men,.

The Glorious Victories.

Fur glorious, decisive victories within SO
many weeks, has caused unspeakable joy
to thrill through the country. Mill Springs,
Fort Henry, Roanoke Island, and now Fort
Donclson, all most brilliant and decisive en-
gagemcnts, and certain to lead Immediately
to other as important results. 1t is impos-
sible to overestinate the consequences of
these victories. There may and doubtless
will be more fighting, but with the prestage
which the Federal cause has attained and
the CONSERVATION infused into the rebels,
the rebellion must be regarded as practically
suppressed. The rebel leaders cannot stand
many more such terrible reverses. At all
events reaction, more or less general and
decisive will m,st certainly speedily take
place. We have reached the beginning Of
the end.

encircling the enemy from the Cumberland,
south Of the forst to the backwater of . stream
which TANKS the fort on the north.
Gen. Oslesby, who has the extreme right,
last night pushed forward his brigade to the
Cumberland, and has planteda battery com.
handing the river. which will effectually
prevent the arrival Of any more reinforce
ments. In fact, We have ther completely
surrounded, and can complete the job ct our
leisure.
A formidable attempt was made last night
to take Taylor's battery by the enemy, who
approached under cover Of darkness, but
they were CALAMITY repulsed by the Goth
Illinois. Considerable skirmishing occurred
during the night, both forces sndeavoring,
in the darkness, to crowd in upon the other.
This morning it was discovered that the
enemy had placed logs on tho top Of their
breastworks, leaving little space for them to
shoot through, and much diminishing their
risks from the unerring aim Of our sharp.
shooters.
The casualties among our artillery, thus
tar, was very small. The loss Of the enemy
as fas a. can be asccrtained is considerable.
Yesterday afternoon, after the storming
party had retired, and when the rebels had
been thickly crowded together to repel the
assault, Capt. Taylor opened on them with
shell with terrible effect His practice was
superb, creating the greatest CONSERVATION
in their ranks, and causing them to take ref
uge in their entertainments. The gunboa'
assault was terrific, exceeding even the Fort
Henry bonbardmcnt. II lasted about ~
hour and half.

Lawrence Found.

Sheriff Gray has returned from Omaha,
whether he went some week ago. after the
notorious Geo. Lawrence, one of the parties
implicated with Liant McComb, in the muir
dor of Laura j. Harvey at this place, two
years ago. Mr.. Gray found the man
supposed to be Lawrence confined at Omaha
but was not satisfied, after examininghim, that
he was the veritable Lawrence. A woman
at Omaha, well acquainted with him, testi-
fled to his identity, and another witness had
been telegraphed to come on as additional
testimony. A diary was found on the per.
soner withrtwo months corresponding with
the period Of the murder torn out. Mr.. Gray
did not bring the accused with him, as
precious requisiton was there in the hands
Of U. S. Marshal Hitchcock, who will exc
cute it by returning the prisoner to this
county.
1t will be recollected that the body of
man was found some weeks after the muir.
der, in ravine between this place and Agen-
cy City, which was identified by certain
garments as Lawrence's, the body being too
much dccayed to be identified. The theo-
ry ofthe murder, based on this discovery,
was that McComb had murdered both the
girl and Lawrence. Of course twill entirely
change the hypothesis upon which the
public have hitherto acted.
