THURSDAY, AUGUST Z.
HnRRAH For A DRAFT.

1t is with the most unfeigned joy that We
learn the President has issued an order call
ing into the field three huudred thousand
additional troops to serve nine months, and
to be raised at once by draft That looks
like work. We take courage. The Gov
eminent has been denounced by the people
as sluggish, and has been accused as wanting
a policy Such Remuneration is no longer
merited, The people will now have all
they can do to keep pace with the Govern
ment. Three hundred thousand men, in ad-
dition to the three hundred thousand now
being raised, are to be called into the field at
once, and the President will not await the
tedious process Of volunteering. The men
are to be drafted That is right. We are
glad the Government has decided upon such
A course. II is fair for ALL and besides in no
other way can the men so sorely needed, be
raised SO quickly.
Those towns that have been backward in
furnishing recruits better look about them.
There is still chance, until the 18th of Au-
gust for them to send volunteers in the Tenth
and Eleventh Regiments, and to fill up old
Regiments After that-the memorable draft
There is to be no more gingerbread war
fare. Men wbo,have found fauk with the
government for the want Of vigor, will now
have to come up to the work with the rest
Battles are no longer to be planned and
fought at home. That kind of playing a.
war must cease. Get ready Six hundred
thousand fresh troops are to march forth tc
the vindication Of the flag. The end of the
rebellion is Fastening on

PROF. ANDERSON, the world-renowned
Wizard performed before respectable au-
dience at the Town Hall last evening. His
exhibition is truly wonderful, and differs in
every respect from any we ever before wit
messed. The entertainment is highly in
structive as well as amusing. We could not,
were we to attempt, give any adequate des-
cription Of the marvellous feats which Prof.
Anderson brings before his audience. He is
to give closing entertainment this evening.

MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL ARMY

There is not much doubt that the Rebel
Army at Richmond is about to assume the
offensive. The very silence observed by
their presses is indicative of the fact. The
news which leaks out, though meagre and
unsatisfactory, points to the same conclusion.
The very necessities of their case, require
prompt and vigorous action on their part
The rebel army will probably never be so
strong as it is now. There must be nearly,
if net quite, two hundred thousand confeder-
ate troops in and around Richmond, flushed
with what they consider at least, decisive
victory over Mcclellan. jeff. Davis is well
aware that now is his golden opportunity
He is aware that if he is ever to act on the
sffensive-if there is ever to be an opportu-
nifty to drive the Union armies from the soil
Of Virginia, that time is the present. Every
days delay strengthens Mcclellan and Pope
and Burnside. Moreover he is hopeful by a
vigorous and overwhelming assault upon our
weakened forces--to make such demon
stration as to win the respect of foreign ma
tons and thus insure Intervention. He is
aware that by acting strictly on the defensive
and permitting Mcclellan to be reinforced
by the new levy of 100000 men now soon to
be in great part in.the field, foreign powers
will await the issue of the renewed conflict.
In short every consideration urges the rebels
to action. We therefore expect to hear the
most st FIRING news from the Peninsula, or in
Gen Pope's Department before many days.
1t is thrown out by the rebels themselves that
they are massing large army on the south
side of James River between Richmond and
Petersburg. We place but little reliance on
this rumor, and yet it may be true. But the
rebels are not apt to advertise their real
movements to the enemy. The fact that they
have advertised this movement, convinces us
that it may be nothing but feint, to misead
uuT OUfcIHiucut dS " tuch Icdi iHlcutiono
We should not be surprised if it shall turn
out that the movement of the rebels is in the
opposite direction towards Gen. Pope's com.
mand. If they should throw superior force
upon Pope, and annihilate or capture his
army, they might then repeat the same game
by which they succeeded in driving back
McClellan's army to the James River. The
true policy of the rebels evidently is to at
tack and beat our forces in detachments ant
in detail before they are massed for offensive
operations. Of course they will run som'
risk in undertaking such movement as vi
have surmised, but they are we'll aware tina
it is only boldness and vigor that can saw
them now. sg7a 7
We await the news of the coming weel
with considerable anxiety. We trust tina
the perils whiShenviron us will stimulate en-
Iistments, and that the new levy will b
fastened up with all possible Dispatch
Moments are weeks, and days are year,
The fate of the Republic hangs upon tn
decision Of the hour! Thank God tn
North is beginning to be aroused from he
lethargy!

Commodore Farragut in a conversa-
ton with your correspondent yesterday
defined his position as an awkward and
perplexing one. He never could see any
reason, he said, why he had been sent up
the Mississippi; and since he has been
here, his hands have been tied. He did
not believe in inactivity, but followed the
idea of his naval instructor, who had de-
clared that the public was very peculiar.
1t blamed an officer if he fought. and
oensured him if he did not fight so,
when there was question between ma
king and not making an attack, it was
better to attack, if for no other purpose,
to save ones reputation as a commander.

in doing so We appreciate and applaud his good
judgment. In view Of the interest Col Wallace
has manifested for our mutual friend, Mr.. J. R.
Meeker We certainly wonder why, hile in com.
mittee, Steacoom should not have been created
port Of entry and delivery. A mere slip Of
the pen could have done so, and we could enjoy
the great benefit accruing from such change
without any additional cost to the government.
In view Of this glaring neglect, we are now under
the necessity Of labOrng to effect so desirable an
change. The Postal Department have deemed
the east coast Of Whidby's Island of sufficient
importance to establish weekly mail to and
from Port Madison. Knowing and appreciating
the trade that is now carried on in those regions
to Fraser river, via Whatcnm and Utsalady, we
purpose to create a port Of entry and delivery at
Port Madison. We shall a'so apply for some
kind Of Marine HOspith at the same place.
This is a consummatIon devoutly to be wished,
to which we invite the united efforts Of all the
friends Of suffering humanity.

While our brave soldiers generally worship at
the shrine of Mars, we occasionally meet one who
delights to invoke the Muses., and sometimes we
find some giving utterance to their aspirations in
song. A few days since, one Of the bulwarks Of
liberty at Fort Steilacoom, with soul overflow
ing with loyalty and song, was observed to be
scribbling what seemed to be some verses when
a young friend surprised him and succeeded in
getting possession Of the following sublime q
lines which were handed 20 us for publication.
There is no guessing to what poetic fights his
fancy might have scared il be had not been in
