The New York World. commenting on the above,
says:
There is danger that the call following 'he draft

ger must be met and overcome. The time il too
.',or.-oniy two months, and then another draft
or conscrip.ion. The local mac hlnery to forward
volunteering has been broken up by the operation
Of the draft.he STATE aud township bounties ere
not vailnhle, and the private ans formerly used
to assist volunteering will in many cases besfe
taincd TO purchase exemptions fiom th1eatepei
drafts hereafter.
Unfortunately for the army, though happily for
the persons most Interested, work Is plenty, wages
high and labor scarce. There was a time when
three hundred dollars bounty could have tempted
half million Of meu into the field within couple
of months, but in this paper money era II IL not
attractive,

vALLASDIoHAM TO AIS OHIO FRIENDS.
The tnI!ow,ngis Hon. C. l.. Valiandisham's ad.
dress to his friends in Ohio since the election:
Democrats Of Ohio: You have been beaten; BY
what means 1t il Idle now to inquire 1t is enough
that while tens of thousands Of soldiers sent
Or kept within your State, or held iii active camp
elsewhere TO vote against you, the Confederate
enemy were marching upon the capital OF your
country.
You were beaten; but a nobler battle for con-
sttutional liberty, and free, popular Government,
never fought by any people. And yonr un-
cOnquerable firmness and courage, even in the
midst Of armed inilitery force, secured You these
first Of frpemen's rsbts-iree speech and free
ballot. The conspiracy of the 5th of May fell be-
fore YOU. Be not discouraged; despair not of the
Republic; maintain your rights; stand firm TO your
pOsiton never yield by your principles or your Or
ganizaton; listen not to any one who would have
you lower your standard in the hour of defeat.
no mell0Wirg Of ytMIr opinions upon any qnes-
ton, even of rciicS, viii await anything 10 con-
ciiiate your political Toes. They demand nothing
less than an absolute surrender Of your principles
and vour Orsani alton. Moreover. if there be any
hope for the Constellation liberty, it is in the
Democratic parry aiole, and your fe!iow-ci'izeas
in little while longer will see it. 1'iDc aAd
events will force it upon ALI, except those VITO
profit by the caiamises of their country.
thank you, one and all, Tor your symp1fht' 8
and your sU;trages. Ea assured tina: taoush III sI-
lie for no offence but my political opinions a d
the free expression of them 10 YOU in peaceal. c
public assembly. you will find me ever steadE- 4
in those opiniCn ana true TO the Constitution
