ThurlOw Weed on Opdyke, Til.
- ton and the Draft.

Mr.. Weed, in discursive letter, gives
the Democrats some advice, and with bet
ter claims lectures some of the recusants Of
the Abolition party The fling at Opdyke S
son is all the more of hit, as it strikes
Lincoln's son also, who is engaged on pleas
ure tours, while others fight at the COM
mand of his father:
SIT is to be regretted, also, that leading
boisterons Abolitionists, who are so free OF
their abuse of all who differ with them, fail
to Justify their precerts by their examples.
The Editor of the Independent, whose zeal
for the Draft led him to rail at all who
questioned its wisdom, when drafted him
self, ingloriously shirks from taking his
share of the duty and danger! Shame on
such a sneakl Subject by law to military
duty, and constantly pressing Others into
the field, Mr.. Tilton must DO craven in spi-
rit, without patriotism, without pride or
manhood, to skulk Draft himself, while
b. is merciless in regard to the Mechanic
and Laborer who is compelled to leave his
wife and children.
Still more Notifying, if possible, is the
course of Mayor Opdyke, whose drafted
son, instead Of CALAMITY stepping forward as
an example to poor men, skulks The
Mayor is filled with patriotism at Conven-
tions and in Proclamations; he is gorged
with Government Contracts; he leans heav-
lily upon the Government to make good his
lost profits; but his son, when drafted, is
not strong enough to be soldier. He is,
however, strong enough to hold offices, bu
these Offices do not expose him to anything
but salary and fees. Being a soldier is
quite different thing. Out upon such
false pretences-such cheap loyalty-such
bogus patriotism.
Asto the Draft, it was at the least, but
doubtful sxpediency; and it has been, from
various causes, so complicated and embar-
raised as to render it largely Intellectual.
We shall not obtain as many conscripts as
are required to bring the war to an honor
able conclusion.

DRAFT COMMENCED IN SAGINAW Cry.
Some graceless chaps over in Sagi-
nav City, not having the fear of out
ragged Teutonia before their eyes, serv-
cd, through the Post Office, a notice
on one Lewis Lehman, of the Ger
man persuasion, that he had been
"drafted into the army," and imme-
diately thereafter came letter bear
ing the Detroit post mark, notifying
him to report at that city at once.
Mynheer Lehman was startled, a
shadow Of alarm came over his corpo-
real system like a wet blanket over a
warm kitten tho situation" was not
pleasing. His first resort, however,
was to our Chief Police, f. A. c., the
confidential adviser of deceived and
suffering humanity generally, who in
formed him at once that the whole
thing was hoax. Relieved instan-
taneously and UNNECESSARILY by this
information, he returned home the
gay and festivest individual in all that
boundless city; but with an immense
accumulation Of courses not loud, but
deep" on his mind, against the per-
petratros of the fraud.

Military Companies.

There is now being a general effort
made to organize independent military
companies in all the cities within the
State. Liberal provisions are offered
under the law passed at the extra scs-
sion Of 1862, and companies can now
be armed and equipped at a very small
expense. The law requires forty
names on the muster roll, and when
uniformed with coat, pantaloons and
eap=-eosting about thirteen dollars
they will be furnished at the expense
of the State with arms, tents, armory,
and whatever else is necessary to make
the company effective. The object is
to extend the means Of military knowl-
edge throughout the State, and to
have at all points military force suff-
cient to put down riots, mobs and
other resistance to law and order.
East Saginaw ought to be able to
furnish company equal to the best
in the State. There should be citizens
enough interested in the project to
make a fund sufficient to purchase the
uniforms, and then leave the MEM
bers of the company to give their time
only. This would doubtless insure
the success of the undertaking, and
we hope to see some one take hold of
the matter in earnest.
The Adjutant Generals order No.
2, published in the Detroit Free Press,
gives copious information to those in
terested.

all the officers of the regiment, the

formality of signing the commissions.
