Banks is still with his command, and Nc
Dowell has 81 opportunity to wipe away

The Rappahannock correspondent of
the Tribune says: The greatest crisis OF
the war occurred between Thursday morn

and We are safe. Our army is safe. The
nation is safe, for Pope's artillery is now

reported that another corps will come to

THE 600, 000.-A Washington letter in
the New York Post says the prospect is
that nearly every free State will furnish
its share of the 100000 troops without
drafting The Government would prefer
to have the States volunteer their entire
quota. But the coo, 900 troops it must
and will haye-by drafting if they are not
volunteered Advices from Kentucky
state that no draft will be necessary there.
The same is probably true of Missouri -
Tennessee will not be called on for her
quota. 1t Is probable that Maryland and
Delaware, and Western Virginia, are the
only slave States in which the draft will
be resorted to. No permission for indi-
viduals to furnish recruit or volunteer,
and thus obtain an exemption fol- the
next nine months, or to pay 3 stipulated
Gum for substitutes, will be granted by
the War Department. The men called
for are now being supplied SO fast that it
