AaryandHer Quota of Troops to be Drafed-EacitemeAs
and Conformation Opposition Espected-How 10 Be
Carried Out-Another Jackson Raid Looked for--7he
Harvest, DC.
The quota Of troops-ive thousand, believe--to be
raised by this State according the call for three
hundred thousand has excited unusual degree Of
sternaon and dsmay among secession sympathizers In
this section Of the State The Union population is very
largely in the ascendancy but the hostility Of those in
sympathy with the South is Of the most intense oharac
ter, and will most probably culmnae open resistance
to the enforcement of the proposed draft This is quietly
whispered among them already. Their plan, however,
1t is generally believed will be to obey the draft until
the government has placed in their hands, when
they will rise up and strike for their libsrties," with
the assurance at the tme that Stonewa Jackson
will Immediately hasten TO their support. The Union
men here however express openly their readiness to
meet any emergency whatever Of the kind and should
it be commenced it will be one of
the most bloody and persistent fights that
has taken place. II will indeed, be civil war then, SO
far as this state is concerned for IL win be an array OF
one portion Of her population against the other.
The people along both sides Of the Potomac here are in
constant apprehension Of another raid by jackson the
valley There are still large number Of Union ref refugees

time Of Jacksons recent raid and who do little else than
