Sick Men Safe.

The n. Y. Journal Of Commerce saws that
persons who are really in i'll health, who
cannot endure fatigue, who have decided
constitutional tendency TO diseases which
would certainly be developed BY the labors
exposures and privations Of an active cam
( paign, need not harass themselves with
fears Of a draft The United States sur
geon, whose business IL will be to examine
them, would not take them II they were
! ever so anxious to 20.
! Under the volunteer system, when II was
necessary to raise the largest number Of
troops in the shortest time, the army sur
geOns were Intentionally lax in their in
speotions. Rather than disappoint the ar
dent recruit and the officer whose ambition
it was to have his squad or company in
service ct the earliest moment, the surgeons
would generously overlook many cases Of
disease chronic or acute, or physical imper-
feetion which totally disqualified a man
from becoming good soldier
Experience has shown that q weak, in
firm soldier is not only useless for fighting
purposes, but is the constant breeder Of
discomfort and of discouragement in the
ranks. The least active exertion, or q
nights exposure on picket duty, brings
him down TO a bed in the hospital, where,
regarding him in pecuniary point Of
view, he is an enormous burden 10 the SER
vice. If he is kept in the hospital he will
cost twice as much as a well man. If heis
discharged and sent home, he VIII be an
object Of pity and horror TO his circle Of
friends, and perhaps frighten whole
neighborhood from enlisting. The rules
for the inspection Of drafted men require
an average standard of physical health, as
an Indispensable condition Of acceptance.
Il must be borne in mind that the Gov
ernment has every imaginable motive for
men who are defective in any
important respect, and no motive whatever
for taking such men. If 10 drafted men
out Of 100 are rejected by the surgeon, the
Government loses no men by the opera
ton, but simply orders another draf, to be
made to supply the place Of those who
were rejected. The Government gets all
the men that it calls for and, if the sur
geon does his duty, gets nothing but able
bodied men. This is a great advantage to
the Government.
Sick men, therefore, need not fear that
their maladies viii not be appreciated by
the army surgeons.

There is q settled purpose on the part of
the Northern people, and the loyal men OF
the Northwest to crush out the rebellion,
ct any and every cost Of men, money and
blood. The great body Of the people Of
the loyal States have vowed, and their de-
cree has been ratified in Heaven--that
none but the banner Of glory and beauty
known as the Stars and Stripes, shall
ever Goat over any State in the old United
States. They have sworn that this govern
.nent shall never be divided and that this
country shall never know but one govern
ment, and that shall be the government Of
the United States.
The recent order Of a draft by the Pres
ident, for 100000 more, meets with the en-
thusiastic approval Of old and young, il
all directions, and the only regrets nave
heard expressed are, that he had not or
dered draft Of half million.

To the Editor Of the Detroit Free Press:
You would have been amused had you
been in our city this morning, to have seen
the cowardly Yankees snubbed-thosew who
run away from your country to escape the
draft-Irish, Dutch and Yankees. About
fifty came to a foundry owned by a Brit
ish subject. They applied for work, and
the proprietor gave them whitening re-
buke. He asked them if they were from
the other side. They said, /" Yes" why
did you leave 2" q Because we did not
want to be drafted" {. Have you not en-
ioyed all the benefits and had all the priv
ileges of citizens ~ "Yes.n Well, I
viii tell you what think Of you. con-
slider you worse than thieves, and mean
contemplate pack Of knaves, and unfit for
an honest man to trust. / should be afraid
if I should employ you that you would
steal. And now, boys turning to his
own hands,) g 1 will give you fifty dollars
to rotten-egg all the traitors to their own
Governments that ever come here again"
The mea hurrahed, and the traitors ske-
daddled. It was rich and rare in this, our
seeesh city. only wish we had few
more such intelligent British subjects as
