AbOutu New Drau.

The six hundred thousand men now
called for, by voluntet ring and draft, will
in addition to those previously in the
field, make all the troops our Generals
can actually use in the field, and proba-
bly, nil that the Government can arm and
equip this fall. The measure most prop.
er next would seem to 10 the organiza
ton of the militia as n national guard
and army of reserve. These might be
put under regular drill, without taking
them from their bones, aud would form
an army of defense in a sudden emer-
gency, aud reserve for future levies fol
the field. For this purpose they should
be divided into classes, according to age
and perhaps single men should be clssscC
by themselves, and first subject to draft
In this way the Government could have
an army OF reserve from which it coulC
draw troops already sufficiently disci
plined for service, without taking then
away from their labor until thdy were re
quired.

The Surrender OF aIarper's Fer

Since the return Of the Eighty-seventh
Ohio Volunteers from Harper's Ferry,
we have convorsod with somo three or
four OF its most intelligent members, aud
all express nstonishment at the surrender
Of that post to the rebels. II is not to US
an agreeable task to scnsuro him, now
no longer with us, to speak in his own
defense, but in justice 20 the living, the
truth must be told. Our informats state
that il was the prevailing opinion among
officers and men at tho time OF the sur
render, that the post was not faithfully
defended, They were free in expression
OF tho opinion, that they could have held
the place for several days longer, that the
act astonshed every man at the post, and
that but few doubted that tre0chery was
nt the bottom of the surrender We
think that Justice to all demands that n
thorough investiga ion should he had N
order that the truth may be known aud
the rcspon ibility aud Disgrace of the act
may rest where il properly belongs
o. s. Journal.
We have convcrsed with number OF
men not only of the satin o. but also of
the 65lh Illinois, and the Indiana battery
that killed Col Miles (they openly boast
Of killing him after tho surrcnder) and
all, without an exception, blame Miles
with being traitor and surrend,rng
without any adequate cause. They also
agree in stating that Col. Tom Ford, did
not cvacuatc Maryland Ileights-un,il
he had received three orders from Miles
to do so, and number also stated that
Miles had to ride up in person and order
the cvacu alton before Colonel Ford would
obey.
