in hearing claims to exemption, an average OF %
substitutes for each district is received daily AS
soon as squad Of 200 is collected together. the

under a sufficient guard. IN view of the fact
that substitutes from other parts of the State, as
well as from other States are going forward, ihe
army will soon be filled. In short time the
drafted men Of Philadelphia will be required to
report for duty, and the additions to the army
will prove large one.

The New York Tires is true "Admin

everybody but extreme Republicans as dis
loyal, and the next prints something like the
following truthful confession, which, how
ever, means nothing but that conservative
support is as desirable as it is undesirably
cheap, when it can be paid for in talk
Says that paper:
''The fact that the Administration has
settled upon a certain, anti-slavery war
policy, does not bind patriot to approve
it He mas perfect rrht to believe in
and, in every orderly way labor for any
other policy that in his judgment would
better promote the war Men, ever tru-
ly devoted to the same end, may yet differ
in regard to the means. 1t is not only just
but profitable that all means should be
fairly discussed: and that, too, even after
there has been decision, for it often can be
shown, in the light of experience, that the
wrong means have been adopted No SEN

The $500 exemption provision is about
to be repealed. Well enough, perhaps, but
there has been good deal of Demagoguery
about it. The poor man was compelled to
enlist whilst his neighbor better off could
buy out. The law made an invidious dis
tinction; but will its repeal benefit the poor
man al all? He will be drafted anyhow,
aud will have his nsighbor's company; but
had he not rather have the $500 that bis
neighbor might pay, and which the Govern
ment might afford to give him with the law
as it now stands?

Since the subject has been alluded to IN

that Major Nocquet, of the Rnei ,eer De-

days before the late battle, and took with
him about 100000 of Government funds,
which he had exchanged for Tennessee bank
bills before he left; and that Captain Meis-

deserted some time previous to the battle
