, Call for q Draft.

tp.Auriter in the Knoxville Register adj
vocates a draft on themilitia of the State.
gTheides is an excellent one. and we are
for it decidedly. But in making the draft
we wantithe Legislature tolprovide ways
and means for awning the drafted men
with efficient weapons, so that they may
have some sort Of chance. Our men in
variably have to light against the odds of
two to one--and thats bad enough, other
things being equal. If the Governor were
to announce tomorrow that an ample
supply Of efficient arms could be had,
volunteers would oferin abundance, and
even Old Knoxsrespond in the spirit Of
her ancient chiyalry. But who in the
