16rAny candid, honest man, who has
seen the process of drafting, allows it i,
fair and honest, for Utnd man, las eyes
Lun,lagea, generally draws the names from
wheel in which they are thoroughly
mixed and shaken. Most extraordinary
results may occur For example-in the
Copperhead papers we find it asserted
"Iu Boston, nine persons we're drafted
from q single boarding house.-N Y dr.
gus"
This is the best evidence that the draft.
ing was not fairly performed; for if the
names iB the wheel had been we'll mixed,
it would have been impossible to draw out
SO many belonging to one house.
The fact in the first paragraph may be
SO, but the Inference in the second is false
and intended to do evil. The two on the
roll in the CHRONICLE office we're shit"
but none in the Argus Office. We make
no complaint Of unfairuess-but if that
Office had won two prizes, and ours none,
some iealous-pated chaps would have sworn
it was all partiality aud persecution!

HABEAs CORPUS CAsE.-In the United
States District Court, Monday, before Judge
Ware, Jas. e. Davis, of Augusta, was brought
up on writ of habeas corpus, and his dis
charge from enlistment in the United States
service was prayed for by his mother, Mrs.
Delilah Baldwin, on the ground that he was
not eighteen years OF age. Davis worked in
a factory at Augusta, the superintendent of
which fell under the draft, and agreed TO give
Davis 1925 upon his being passed and accept
ed as a substitute for him. Davis was exam
ined and passed, and the 1925 was paid him,
which fell into the hands of his mother She
then got out the writ OF habeus corpus, as
above mentioned, and at the hearing testified
that her son was not quite eighteen years of
age. Judge Ware said he must have the
proof from the town record, and if it was so,
the son would be discharged upon returning
the 1926 which he had received as a substitute.
The mother did not see il in this light. She
wanted the money and her son too. But the
Judge was memorable. Finally, after some
considerable humming and having, the moth
er concluded that, as she had got the 1925,
and would get $500 more, State and United
States bounties, and moreover would receive
the monthly pay of her son, she would let him
60, as 1t was more than he could earn at Au-
gusta by his work. She then withdrew her
petition, and gave her consent Tor the enlist
ment Of her son.

LA RUE's WAR SHow.-Lancaster Hall
was densely crowded last evening to witness
the first exhibition, in this city, of La Rue's
wonderful mechanical description of the pres
ent war; 1t is one of the most ingenious piec-
es of mechanism we ever witnessed. The
view of Charleston harbor-the bombardment
Of Fort Sumter-the crossing Long Bridge
from Washington-the view of battle field,
in which thousands Of moving figures are seen
as natural as lfe,-and last but not least tab
leaux of Washington rising in splendor, sur
rounded by his generals and soldiers, form the
most beautiful, interesting and instructive por-
tions of the entertainment. We trust our cit
liens generally will avail themselves of the
opportunity of seeing this exhibition, which

The Indian Expedition a Failure.

LEAvENwoBTH, Aug. 4.
The steamer Robert Campbell has arrived
from the mountains, where she has been with
government supplies.
Her passengers report that The Sioux ere
very desperate and threatening. The Camp
bell grounded near the mouth of the Yellow
stone River, aud the Indians on the bank made
signals of friendship. The captain sent a boat
with six men ashore, when just as they were
landing the Indians fired on them, killing three
and woundng one. The crew Of the Camp
ball returned the fire, the effect of which was
unknown. The steamer being left alone, was
boarded and robbed by the indians.
The steamer Belle, is aground. 1t was feared
the Indians would burn her, as the river was
full of canoes.
The government has taken possession of the
Nellie Rogers and Shreveport, TO transport
supplies. The steamer Sam Getty is at Port
Randall loaded with supplies, but can neither
get up or down. 1t is thought the expedition
against the Indians this season, will prove a
failure on account of low water.

Advices from Japan up TO June 4th state
that although the japanese had paid upwards
of 100000 indemnity for the murder Of Rich
ardson, France and England still demanded
as redress the surrender of the murderers, and
also indemnity for the losses of their mer-
chants consequent on their expulsion from
Nogasaki, and for the losses of the merchants
OF Yokohama in re-shipping imports, and
atonement for the Gotea Hama fire. Should
Japan not accede to these demands civil war
would ensue. The question seemed to be
whether the japanese had better have war
