The Language OF Patriotism.


One of the most earnest and able OIL
that portion Of the Democratic leaders
who repudiate 'copperbeadism and
stand UP manfully for the cause of the
Republic, is Hon. Mat. III. Carpenter,
the well known Democratic orator OF
Wisconsin. In recent note, explain
ing his position in the pending political
canvass in that State, he says:
81 am for the Government, right OF
wrong; for the Government, howsoevel
and by whomsoever administered and
/ am against all treason, whether it be
found rearing its front in the perilous
gloom of the battle field, or insidiously
and cowardly concealing itself beneath
the verbal platitudes of the Ryan (cop-
perhead) address," 7G..ia 7 ,lserg7ei
Noble words ftly spoken. Compare
this honest, patriotic language with the
miserable evasive subterfuges of those
who Support the Government, but op-
pose the administration" 30

CHARLESTON, Aug. 22.-The fire of
the enemy's land batteries has been
kept up on Sumpter, and more guns
we're disabled. There is also heavy
fire on Forts Wagner and Gregg from
the fleet and land.
Gilmore's demand for the surrender
of Sumter and Morris Island, with q
threat to shell Charleston in twenty
four hours from the delivery of the
papers at Fort Wagner, was received
and returned this morning. Beaure-
gard, in reply, charges inhumanity and
violation Of the, laws Of war against
Gilmore, and affirms that if the offense
is repeated, he will employ stringent
measures of retaliation.
Up to this time, the threat to shell
the city has not been executed.
CHARLESTON, August 23.-On Sat-
urday, 6o4 shots were fred at Sumter !;
419 struck, inside and outside. The
east wall is scaled and battered and
the parapet undermined. The north
west wall and arches have fallen in.
The guns are all dismounted. On
Sunday, the land batteries opened from
the south and north, and monitors
from the east and west, coming close
up. The fire was very damaging.
The shot swept through the fort. The
shell wounded several officers, includ-
ing Col. Rhett. The latter is ordered
to hold out until relieved or the place
is taken. Col. Guilford, of Wagner,
is killed, and several wounded.

The Draft in New York City.

The Draft in New York City.

8 = Perfect Order Prevailing. = Il
Large Force Of Military and Ro-
lice on Duty. ~
The draft in this city, which was in
terrupted in July by the outrages of
the mob, was resumed to-day. The
utmost quiet prevails; the threats OF
violence, freely made, have not been
fulfilled and there are the best reasons
for the belief that the law will be
promptly, fearlessly and successfully
enforced By the end of next week
the drawing in this city will doubtless
be completed, without the occurrence
of any important disturbance-certain
ly no. disturbance which will not be
summary suppressed.
The draft to-day took place at No.
1S5 Sixth Avenue, the headquarters OF
Provost Marshal Jas. w. Farr, in the
Sixth Congressional District, eompris-
ing the Ninth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth
Wards of the city. Full public notice
had been given, and long before the
hour of ten, when it was understood
the wheel would begin to revolve, a
crowd had assembled in front of the
building in Sixth Avenue.
The men who waited for the draw.
ings to begin were evidently not in
Iclined to engage in ariot. 1t was OBJ
servable that there was no incorporate
language in regard to the draft and
it was certain, from the temper and dis
position of these men, that the prepa-
rations of the authorities, and perhaps
also the summary treatment of the
rioters by the District Attorney and
Recorder, had had their due weight
The active rioters have not with few
exceptions made their appearance in
the streets near the place of the draw
ings.
The military forces do not constitute
the only protection of the officers wht
conduct the draft. A police force O
one hundred men, from various pre-
cincts, was detailed for duty this morn
ing, to take special charge of the build
ing in which the drawings are made
