Another Draft fer 100000 Men.

WASHINGTON Sept. o. Correspon-
dence of the Post The reverse in Nor
thern Georgia compels the Government
to raise more troops than the Government
had contemplated.
The present draft will not give the Gov
eminent overt TO- 900 men. Itissaid in some
quarters that it is too high an estimate by
$4,000. Another draft will undoubtedly
take place very soon, except in those
States which prefer to raise the full quota
by volunteering. Nearly all the Western
States will raise their quota by volunteer
ing, as the Government offers bounty of
$500 dollars.
The next draft will probably be for six
hundred thousand men. The expectation
of the Government, under the new in
structions, is to obtain one-third of the
men drawn as soldiers.
The two drafts and the volunteering, it
is estimated, will give three hundred thou
sand by the first of next January.

Kansas delegation called on the President

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Hon
Emerson Etheridge, at the instance of
prominent Union men of Tennessee, is en-
deavoring to obtain the consent of the Adj
ministration for Gen. w. B. Campbell to
be inaugurated Governor of Tennessee, on
the ground that he was voted for in the
various counties on the first Thursday in
August last, the day fixed by law for the
election of Governor in that State since
1885. He received all the votes given.
The majority of all the votes elects. A
large vote, is is said by those gentlemen,
would have been thrown throughout the
State, had not Governor johnson and his
advisers opposed the election.
They also say that the Inauguration OF
Gov. Campbell would relieve Gov. John
son from his labors, and the people of the
State, having a civil Governor, would
have no difficulty in reorganizing the State
government Immediately.
