PEACE DEMOCRATS AND THE

prominent politician declared to his auditors
that there was a "trck in the Wheel" that the
officers managed to draw the names of poor
men who have not $500, but who were able
bodied and could not procure exemption
papers.
In several Wards vigilant committees have
been appointed, charged with the duty of reliev-
ing drafted men at whatever cost and at all
hazards. II the conscript has no family, and
cannot obtain communication from the Board OF
Supervisors his case is managed by certain
parties so that he may escape on some other
pretext. If q man who has voted dozen years
in his district cannot clear himself as an alien,
he must try what virtue there is in physical
disability; and should that fail, it is expected
the writ Of habeas corpus will be sure to save
him.
These sympathizers with Secession are reluct-
ant to pay the $500 fee to sayc their friends even,
and they are bitterly hostile to tho plan Of fur
nishing substitutes. Their motto is ''not dol
lar not man to sustain the war" Tho logic
of thirty thousand bayonets has convinced them
that they must in most cases pay the money or

THE LAWRENCE MASSACRE.

We renew the appeal already made in these
columns for relief to the survivors OF the mas
sacre at Lawrence. Their necessities are dis
tres,ng; their wants urgent; and we fear there
has not been a sufficiently ready and generous
interest in their suilerngs to put them beyohd
the prospect of immediate destitnton. 1t Is tor
the widows and orphans of murdered patriots
that ve ask, not charity, but justice-some
small part of what the country owes them.
For these men were citizens Of State which
has given more troops in proportion 10
population than any other in the Union, and
which, long before this Rebellion broke into
open war, fought with undaunted resolution
and with unrecognized devotion, the battle oil
Freedom against the enemies of the Union.
True. they fought in defense of their homes and
pos sessions, but it was none the less to make
Kansas a Free State, and thus bind her ir-
revocably to the side Of the Union. Had thcy
not So fought, Kansas would to-day have been

Once for all. let us end this dishonest aiec,a
ton Of regarding the people of Kansas and Mis-

to accept either, yet for many months bore un-

Charleston. His incrcdulity, and not his al.
scncc from the city, as he alleges, was the cause
of his delay. The messengers at last sent to
Charleston by Gen. Gilmore had an immediate
and excellent effect, and aroused at once Mr..
Bcauregard's epiStolary genius. An answer,
which our readers have already seen, came at
once to Gen. GillmOre's note, and came within
an hour after the gentle hint had been given,
showing that it did not require two hours, as
Beaurcgard had asserted. His letter proves
plainly enough that if he had not yet lost
Charleston, lie had at least lost his temper. He
had undcTrated the commanding position OF the
American forces he had found that the threat
OF Gen. Gilmore was not an idle one; he had
discovered that the beleagured city was actu-
ally within range Of the Union batteries. lie
mus; have intcrmtted much Of the cool sagacl'y
for which he has been commended. lie fell
into the error OF demonstrating that commune
cations could be interchangcd within half the
time By him stated He affirmed that Charles
ton was full of women and children, and quite
forgot that our forces had positive knowledge
that all non.combatantS had been ordered from
the city week before. His idle threat oi re-
talia,on was upon the face OF 1t Il mere supter
fugo to gain time-a thing TO him OF the last
importance, after he had so grossly mlscaicu-
lated the forces of his assailants.
II happened that the British and Spanish Con-
suls reDosed full confidence in the assumption 0l
Beaurcgard that the city was out OF danger ana
ouite bcyond the reach of Gillmores guns; Tor
they did not remove British and Spanish prop
er,y from positions Of danger. The shells OF
our General filled them with profound anxiety
10 regain the time into the loss Of which the
blunder OF Beaurcgard had betrayed them
They addressed letters TO Gen. Gilmore, the
Spanish Consul asking for twenty-lOur hours
posiponement, to remove the subjects OF her
Catholic Majesty from the town, and the British
Consul asking fJr al interview, the object o'
who mag have been 10 get his contraband
goods out of the way. The request OF the
Spanish Consul was granted. An interview
with the British Consul was respectfully de-
clincd The cessation of hostillties expired by
this limitation at II O'Clock p. M. on the night
of the 23d ult. at which time the batteries
opened on the City Of Charleston.
We have thought IL necessary. proper and in
terestng TO tate these facts, because, while
they canno, be controvcrted, they indicate
total disregard Of truth upon the part Of the
Rebel commander Falschoods slip 50 easily

81 much difficulty ckpunged. that too much

afternoon, had been pushed up to the very
mouth Of Battery Nxagner, and it wa, no
longer possible to distinguish our fire from
that Of the enemy. During the entIrc af.
