on Saturday last. After Mr. buchanan
had changed cars, and a few minutes
before the train started, Il crowd was cel-
lected in front of the car he occupied,
gazing with mute curiosity st the in6rm
old maU, whose unsteady look wandered
from object to object, as if he hesitated
TO meet the gaze of the citizens and the
soldiers present upon the occasion Just
then, a soldier who had lost an arm, began
to shake the stump in the iace of the

Considerable surprise has been cx
pressed that so many drafted wen are
exempted because of physical debility
The opposition journals are elated about
it, and many loyal persons are led into
the belief that the draft viii, on this ac
count, prove comparatively failure -
Two or two things in this connection,
however, are worthy of consideration
The surgical examination is very close :
that is to say, it is very merciful to the
conscript and very just to the Govern
ment. No man is taken whose physical
organization is defective in any way that
would peril his life or health were he ex.
posed to the fatigue of soldiers life, or
that would disable bim from efficiently
serving the Government Then it is to
be borne in mind that an immense army
has already been raised by volunteering,
aud such has been the ardent patriotism
of the people that very large per cent
age of the able bodied male population
the ueu who, having 10 physical aiIment.
but were in the flush and vim of perfect
health and organization have already
rendered their services to their country.
And further, it is a demonstrable fact
that the conscripts who aae conscious of
physical disability, and therefore conf
dent of exemption, are the first to answer
the summons Of the examining board.

@Three reasons operate to induce

@Three reasons operate to induce
The copperhead leaders in this State to
oppose the draft.
l They are as absolutely Cd The side
Of the rebellion as the rebels are. and, con-
sequent!y, opposed to Strengthening the
hands of the national government.
, They know that because full three
quarters of the volunteers are Republi.
cans, at least two thirds of the men drafted
will be locofocos, aud they want this lat-
ter class at home to help Judge Wood
ward, il order tha; be may So use the
CUB material authority as TO frustrate the
efforts of the National government to sup.
press the rebellion.
8 They DO not want the war brouglt
to close BY the subjrgatiOn of tie reb-
els, prior to the next Presidential election,
not only because such result would
spoil their chance of carrying said else-
ton, out because such q resuli would
leave locofocoism for all time q dead
cock in the pit"

sound Doctrine I'm Tennessee.

Tue Union men of Tennessee are be.
coming radical. Their organ, the Nush.
rifle Lnion, says;
The path 10 safe and enduring peace,
for Tennessee, lies straight through the
complete destruction of Slavery. To dsl.
ly aud tamper with conservatism or pre-
slaveryism, will surely involve her q siill
greater rouble and difficulty Ii she
wishes to obtain happiness, she must frss
be just She can not, at this day, ezpecI
to enjoy her Own rights, while she cruelty
and dishonesty disTegards and Eithholds
the inalienabe rights Of others. And We
are pleased to know that thousands Of be-
citizens are warmly in favor of the reno.
val of slavery, and that their ranks are
recruiting continually. All see the aston
ishirg change which is coming over The
people on this question"
This is sensible and manly, and sounds
imueasurably above the pitiful winnings
of party-hacks in the Free States who are
cooperating with the Secesh to perpetu-
ate the curse and crime of Slavery!

Paper LIill Burned

With deep regret we announce the de-
struction, by fire, on the night O. the 25th
inst, of the paper mill of MessI5. john
W. Grady & Co., near this place. The
above mill was used exclusively for the
manufacture Of writing paper, and its
destruction will prove serious loss and
inconvenience to the country, The loss
to the proprietors is estimated at about
S30, 900, on which there was noiusursnce.
Messrs. Grady & Co., have. with commeu-
dable zeal and industry, already com
menced removing the debris of the late
fire, for the purpose of rebuilding the mil
and resuming operations. This they hope
to be able to do in the course of the mex.
sixty days, While the machinery has
been damaged to considerable extent.
it will not prove total loss, and can, 10
is Ghought, be put again in running or
