'ruE DRAFT The conscription is horror,
--as horrible to republicans, drafted, as to
/ Democrats or olhers,-the horror of hor
/ rors 10 all, torn off from home, household,
| father, mother, wi!e children, ,-a and such
a horror as no human language can well
| paint. 10 is slavery, accursed slavery, in
its most frightlul form Hence whoever
is cooScriy,ed, is necessarily penned up, as
cattle are penned up, barricaded, guarded
surrounded 10y armed men, swords en-
dy to be drawn bayouets pointed, mus
llets loaded. Bullocks" as the Presi-
| dent calls consCripls, are necessarily bet
: ter treated than cOnscripts, as they are
safe TO carry but blllocks are nsensibe
to slavery while the soul of man Is not. -.
/ Day by day, all this is shown. The citizens
of this city, last evening, about six o'clock
on the Fourth Avenue Railroad, Harlem
Depot, saw, or could have seen, what it
was "a platoon of bayonets watching
there over car load of conscriptE, just
arrived on the New Haven Railroad -
these miserable Observation-Disclosures cart
ed with down-ca:t eyes, in utJer despair
as they marched ou! throIgh the files of
bayonets, to be escorted off TO some mill
tary depot, where for a long lime, they
lose communication with their friends -

No man living doubts for an instant,
that it the COnscripton act laid iron bands
on the rich and forced them in the ranks,
that an instantaneous and effective move
ment Of some kind, would certainly crush
the act OF the Administration.
Why THE SuELLING or CnARLERToN WAS
DIscoNrINUrp. - gentleman recently
from Morris Island, where he had unusual
facilities for observation and gathering in
formation, has communicated to the Bos-
ton JoUna' some interesting facts connect
ed with the siege Of Charleston, The
Journal says:
He informs US that the reason why Geh.
Gilmore did not continue his lombard
lnent of Charleston with the Greek fire y
SHELLS was because the shells sent were ig-
nited on the percussion principle, and be-
! ing discharged from a gun elevated at an
angle of thirty eight degrees, took their
! hi .ht at lhe same angle, with Iongitudi-
/ nal rotary motion, base downward, and
I therefore struck base downward instead
of upon the percussion end, and did not
explode. Only two are knowp to have eX-
ploded-one which fell into a warehouse
and another which fell in a street This
peculiar motion and descent of the shell
was a new discovery in artillery practice,
then for the FIRST time made, and the or
dinance department was not furnished
with remedy for the unloOked-tor con
] tingency. To this fact alone Charleston
owes the delay of the hour Of its doom.
/ Time fuses, which will set matters all
right, we're at once sent for, and have
doubtless arrived at Morris Island before
/ this. ..

DsT HaipcrS Weekly thinks it funny
thing o picture a soldier with Jayonet
at apoor fellows throat, as an illustration
OF tie manner in which the people are
made to submit TO the draft, The picture
is too true AN illustration of the brute
force necessary to be employed, bat
We fail TO. see the fun Of t. There must be
something intensely funny, to the Hapa
man, in the way Mourayieff's Russian
butchers enforce similar Laws in Poland
