viii be changed, SO that every - utai'-
ed will have to shoulder, ~ mustn't VI
furnish an able.bod; substitute. What
effect this che in the law to crafty
t A. sa LIS tlding of copperhead politi-
Sill have upon the poor, is for them
10 determine. Our opinion is that it will
bear more heavily upon them than the
law as it now stands.
But there is no necessity for draft in
this district. If all that are interested
will go to work, there will be no difficult
ty in raising the men. Suppose every
man who is liable to be drafted, and
feels that he cannot leave his family,
should pay $50 or 500 into a common
fund, to be paid equally to every volun-
teer from this township. An amount of
money would thus be raised, that would
fill our quota in less than week. The
quotas of some counties are already
raised, and the men are in camp. Some
of our liberal men have subscribed and
raised fund to pay $40 to every recruis
from this township, in addition to the
bounty paid by the Government. But
what IS SO? In German and Scott
Townships, money has been subscribed
to pay every man $100 Does Pigeon
township expect to get transient men for
SO, when other townships are paying
800? In New York City the bounty
paid to volunteers, over and above that
paid by the Government, is $500. OF
course, recruiting is brisk under such
inducements.
Property is not as valuable as life, and
if life is demanded by the Government,
it is as little as property can do, to pro-
vide literally for those depending upon
the life thus taken. We should like to
see our city authorities move in this mat
ter We should be pleased to see lib
eral donation made for bounties to vol
unteers, and a special tdr levied to raise
the money thus appropriated. There are
hundreds of young men having no fami-
lies depending on them for support, who
could GO into the service without making
any extraordinary sacrifice. Camp life
is hard life, yet it is an attractive one,
and those who have seen most of it gen.
orally like it best If bounty Of say
500, was offered to such young men,
additional to that paid by the Govern
ment, many of them would enlist. We
wish the council would make the expert
ment IF no one volunteers there will be
no money to pay. If the whole quote for
the township was raised in this way the
money would be well spent.

The Troubles at Dayton.

The State Journal learns that no less
than thirty-nins persons had been ar
rested at Dayton up to Wednesday night,
for being engaged in the COpperhead riot.
They are in close confinement. The States
man says that no further destruction Of
property had taken place since Tuesday
night; but on that night and Wednesday
morning some four or FIVE persons had
been killed and others wounded. All or
binary business was suspended on We'd
nesday, and general confusion and disOr-
der prevailed. People came into the city
from the country, and crowds of men and
women were constantly upon the streets.
Fights and emeHteS Of various kinds spread
constant terror and alarm.
Among the persons arrested were the
Mayor and VIM. 7. Logan, Editor of the
Empire. The Statesman says sizty-ons
were arrested.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is very tenn
perate on the arrest of its candidate for
Governor. II gives the following good
advice:
HThe grounds of accusation against him
are, we understand, an infringement Of
General Burnside's order No. 50, in his
speeches at Columbus and Mt. Vernon,
Ohio. We have seen no report as yet Of
those speeches, but presume they will be
produced on his trial before the Military
Commission, and the obnoxious features in
them. if they exist, pointed out.
The arrest Of SO prominent q man Of
course gives rise to much discussion and
feeling in all political circles. In these
times Of revolution and civil war, when
the military authority is all paramount
we again renew our caution to all patriots
and good citizens OF whatever party, to
say nothing Of provocative or offensive
nature, and to do nothing that contra
yenes the laws and regulations of the con-
stituted authorities. The great point is to
preserve the public peace, and that with
unity a hOme can be had in no other way.

The dispatches of yesterday morning,
we're gloomy in the extreme. We eau
toned the public, however, not TO despOnd
or trust too implicitly to this first excited
report. The dispatches Of the afternoon
confirmed the justice Of this advice. Al
though HoOker's campaign is dishearten-
ing at best, it is not as bad as the morning
dispatches expressed. The army was
forced to recrOss the Rs~ppahannOck, but it
was not destroyed. Hooker and all his
force, always excepting those victims left
upon the field or the few who were cap
tured, recrossed the river in safety and
marched back to the old camp at Aqua
Creek. The army is represented as
It greatly demoralized." No army could
be forced back as this was without demon
alization, but even that is no cause for de-
spending. It can in a short time be rein
stilled with the spirit Of battle. The
heavy rains, we imagine, had as much TO
do with the d~isheartening of the
troops as the odds against which they
fought.
stoneman, itsppears, was not captured,
after all. He is reported as having cut
railroads, destroyed bridges, Sc, in the
direction Of Richmond, but if so we do not
understand where Lee obtained his rein
forcements.
Sedgwick was forced to abandon Fred
ericksburg, without affecting a junction
with Hooker. 1t is said be lost 5000 men
in the operation. This was a fearful sac
rifce, but better than to be wholly des-
trOyed or captured.
P. S. Last nights dispatches bring US
nothing new, except that the cOmmunica-
tons between the rebel army and Rich
mond were really cut by StOneman and
that Lees reinforcements cane by way of
GordOnsville and Lynchburg. Lee is now
endeavoring to turn Hooker's right flank,
Stusrt's cavalry being massed in that di-
rectiou.

WIZ Hooker Re-cressed the RaPPahnn-
mucfL-

why HOOKER A~e-cEGeaeN the AN
mock.
A careful consideration Of all the cir
cumstances connected with HOOkers re-
treat across the RappahannOck leads rs to
the conclusion that the true reason of the
movement was that he found the riverris-
ing SO rapidly as To cut his lines of com
munication. When he crossed, on Wednes-
day last, each man took with him
eight days rstiOns. After the bat
tie of Monday these ratiOns were
nearly exhausted, and it was Of the utmost
importance that he secure the line Of sup
plies. At this critical time, the heavy
rain-storm came up and the RappahRnnOck
was greatly swollen. The bridges were
heal being carried away, 50 that it
would shortly be impossible to convey
supplies across. Hooker had, say, l25,oOO
men with him. To feed this mass of men
would require five hundred tons Of provis-
ions per day. This absolutely necessary
supply was likely To be cut off aPd-his
men feft 20 starve. Under these c1rcum'
stances General Hooker, like a pruden
commander as he is, adopted the only
course that the elements lefttO him, and re-
crossed the river with his whole force. Ht
was defeated by the storm and not by Gen.
eraI Lee. The dispatches Of lastnight, from
the rebel papers, expressing great fear Of
the result, and saying that Lees commune
cations were thoroughly cut by General
stoneman, confirm this opinion. Accord
ing to this theory Hooker retrogade move.
ment was evidence Of good GeneralshiI
and not of defeat and should rebound t.

The CoIored surgeon.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Evening Post thus speaks of the
newly commissioned colored surgeon:
"a colored man named Augusta, not a
full blooded negro, has just been commits
stoned by the Secretary Of War as a sur
geon, and is walking about the streets
within msior shoulder straps. He received
his medical education at Toronto, Canada.
When he appeared before the examining
board Of surgeons they refused to examine
him, although he bore an order from Mr..
Stanton. A simple statement to the Seere-
tary Of War Of this fact brought forth
another order, which was rather impers-
tive. DR.. Augusta was then put through a
squeezing process which few surgeons, in
or out Of the service, could have sustained
unscathed. The fun Of the thing is, that
it is highly probable that Augusta knew
than all his questiOners. At any
rate, against their prejudiees they were
obliged 10 give him a certificate that he
was competent for the duties and respon-
ssbilities Of a brigade surgeon. He will
soon be doing good service no doubt"
