R6r 1t used TO be the " barefooted De-
mocracy in Jackson's time-then it was the
"pckeberry Democracy, and now it is the
/" butternut Democracy-but they all, as
used, mean the same thing-a contempt for
those who earn their bread by honest toll.
Ind Sentinel
Butternut" down here means fellow
who never did stroke of work in his life,
whose sole occupation is talking secession,
drinking whisky, good, bad or Indifferent
railing at the Stars and Stripes, and steal
ing the horses and negroes of loyal men.
The Sentinel cannot make " Butternat re-
specialize by lacking Democracy on to it,
for your true Butternut has not spark
of real Democracy in him. The Seminal is
getting sleepy Nashville Union.
In this State it is used to designate these
demagogues who are TOO cowardly to fight
with traitors against their government but
who are mean enough to sympathise with
and encourage them. The honest Demo-
cratic masses scorn the Butternuts."

A TOUCHING CAsE.-Yesterday a mother
aud her son called at our Office, with a sad
narrative of personal wrongs and outrages
they had suffered in Arkansas, at the hands
of gnerrilas. She was a widow woman,
and her furniture, money and wardrobe
were taken by the cruel msrauders, and
they were driven across the river, homeless,
penniless, friendless.- Memphis Jtsion Ap-
peal.
This is sample of the brave deeds of the
chivalry that Wanted race of superior be-
ings. They rob widows and orphans in
Arkansas,-most as brave and chivalrous
as A. r. Johnson's heroism in robbing hos
pitfalls.

DRAFTING.-Much inquiry prevails as to
the practical working of the draft for able
bodied militia. A law of Congress passed
in 1892, entitled, " An Act to provide for
the National Defense, and establishing a
Uniform Militia throughout the United
States" aud afterward amended aud ap-
piled to all citizens capable of bearing arms,
provides for the method Of drafting, and,
with slight variations, will be adopted in
all the States where the draft now ordered
is made. The militia of the State having
been first enrolled, the requisite number of
names to fill the quota of the county, or
township, or ward, and drawn by lot in the
presence of prescribed officials. Tickets for
the entire number of militia enrolled are
made out If the quota calls for, say, one
ant of avery four one marked ticket is pre-
pared to every four, aud be for whose name
the prize happens to be drawn is notified of
the fact, and an opportunity given to prove
himself exempt or provide substitute fail
ing in which, he is compelled to serve, or
submit to severe penalties, which, in most
of the States, includes Imprisonment.
The physical disqnali6catious are:
Wounds in the head, impairing the men,
tai faculties or affecting seriously the physi-
cal system; defective hearing, speech, or
vision; active disease of the large joints !;
pulmonic disease, or disease of the heart /.
hernia, irreducible; istula in ano; hemor-
rhoids; painful varicose veins; loss of
limb, of the thumb and fore filger of the
right hand, or two fingers on either hand
loss of the great toe or any chronic dis
ease or defect which renders a man unfit for
service There are special exemptions, as in
the case of telegraph operators, aud such as
are exempted by the law to which we have
referred. -sa,e-o
A drafted soldier enjoys none of the
bouHties provided for the volunteer, who

end of his term of enlistment. The drafted
soldier simply receives $l3 per month, with

thu advance pay and bounty will cease after

Mr.. EpIToR:-I observe in your paper C

there is a pressing need at Hospital No. a,
for sheets, drawers, &C., for the men. have
to inform the public that there is no neces-

amply for the wants of the soldiers, and
clothing of all kinds is issued TO soldiers

with the amount. The chief surgeon of hos
pital No. A, through ignoran ceof what he
was allowed, did not know that be had the
right at all times to draw clothing from the
Quartermaster and issue it to the sick. Citi-
zen physicians are not always perfectly
posted up in the regulations, bnt believe
they endeavor to do their duty. The mo-
ment DIR. Walker reported to me that his
sick men wanted clothing, instructed him
to make requisition for all wanted, and
issue it, aud so the kindness of the public
need not be drawn upon, in this matter.

no Union. So you can judge how the state
of affairs is in this vicinity. l have been OBJ

In order to carry into effect the recent
order of the President about absent officers
and soldiers, notice is hereby given that all
soldiers who have furloughs from any of
the hospitals at Evansville or Mt. Vernon,
or from the (now broken up) hospitals of
Henderson, Newburg, Terre Haute, or Vim
ce1nes, and all soldiers who have left any
ofthe above named hospitals without leave,
or at the time Of the raid of the rebel thief
Johnson were scattered through the coun-
try, must report within ten days from this
date, IN person, to the Medical Director at
Evansville, OF they will be considered as
deserters, be liable to arrest, and lose all
Their pay. This affords the last opportunity
for all men absent from the hospitals of
this section, and scattered about the coun-
try, to return. Mayors, Chiefs of Police,
Sheriffs, Postmasters, and Justices of the
Peace, are authorized by the order of the
President to assist in this matter, and it is
hoped they will report to the Medical Di-
rector all instances in their neighborhood
of coscards who are skulking about the
country, too faint-hearted to meet the enc
my, and so mean that they wear the clothes
of soldier, while they are cheating the
army of the little good that might be de-
rived from their services.
