From Washington.

Washington, Dec. Is, p. m.-Special
to the Chicago Iimes-It turns ont as the
wounded arrive here, that the proportion
to the killed is very large, while an i'm
mense number are but slightly wounded.
The number killed proportionally to the
troops engaged is small.
There is not so much gloom here as peo>
pie at distance would be led to imagine
from the events of the last few days.
Prominent members of the administration
declared to-day that there would be no
winter quarters for the army, and that in
action will not long succeed the late clash
of arms.

As the Law reads "the enrolment Of the militia
shall, in all cases include all able bodied men be-
tween the ages Of eighteen and forty FIVE"
There Is no provision in the law for substitutes,
but the President may supply this deficiency. As
II is. the system of enrolment Is decidedly Dem
ocratic. II takes all, if physically able and Of
proper age, from the Governor to the humblest
citizen, high and low. rich and poor, learned and
uneducated. preachers. lawyers, doctors, every
body. The evident spirit of the law is. that il is
alike incumbent on every citizen to come forth IN
the hour of need for the protection of the Govern
ment. And il is right that there should be no
privileged classes when the honor and the integrity
OF the nation is 10 be maintained. NAPOLEON
the Great fought some OF his most brilliant bat
ties with conscripts. Under the Roman Empire
the armies were supplied by the conscripton of
her free citizens, while the serfs remained at
home to till the soil.
To make conscription acceptable, the enroll
ment and draft must be fair There must not
be even question in those regards. If there is
any favoritism, any party or partisan bias mani
Tested it will not only cause dissatisfaction. but
may result in something worse. A dishonest or
partisan assessor can easily fail 10 enroll the

omit others in the final selection of the number

orable citizens, above reproach, will be appoint
ed assessors; men who will impartially and
thoroughly discharge the duty entrusted to them.
1t would probably be more acceptable if two as
SCISSORS of opposite politics should be selected IN
each district as it would remove all causes for
dissatisfaction and preclude charges of favoritism
or unfairness. There should be no party in this
war, say our Republican friends, and as they are
in power, they have now the opportunity to illus
trate the sincerity of their professions 1t will
be developed from the manner in which the draft
is conducted, whether this war is prosecuted for
the sole purpose of suppressing the rebellion, re-
storing the authority of the General Government
without interference with the rights or institu-
tons of the different States, or to perpetuate
party rule. We sincerely hope that patriotism
will rise above mere partsanship with those in
authority. and that they will have but the single
purpose in all their acts to promote the common
welfare of the country

A few days ago the Journal named thirteen
citizens Of Warrick county having aided and
abetted the rebels in their recent raid upon New

The Enrolment.

1t is time for the resistance made to the enroll
ment TO cease, and, for the viragos, feminine or
masculine, who offer violence to the assessors, to
be brought to their senses. Hot water dogs, and
clapper clawing may be regarded as sport by the
men who set on these females, but il can not be
expected that Assessors will endure violence with
defense or penalty because il is committed by wO
men They who resort TO riot should suffer the
penalty without regard to sex, and then the men
who set them OH can show their chIvalry by COM
ing forward and assuming the offense and its pen
atty.
Let file of men accompany the Assessor, in
the districts where resistance is made. 1t is indis
pensable that the enrolment should be fully and
impartially made. Every man will feel the in
jrstice of draft which part have evaded by yo-
lence or fraud. Our Government is strong enough
To carry out all necessary war measures. 1t is
presumed also that the enrolment will include
all who are citizens, and that the absentees will
be required to respond.-CinciRRati Gazette.
