MISTAKEN FOR SECEsH.-Some

along the streets of Nashville. They be-
longed to a regiment which had gone
through there as aD escort to supply

loaded had gone for stroll. One OF
them was dressed in blue uniform and
carried his musket; the other held on
him a secesh coat which he had picked
up on the battle ground, and wore long,
black hair, and, indeed, looked to
stranger, more like 'secesh" than the
honest soldier he is s;-when, as they pas

The fact that the rebeIlieD is weak
er now than at any previous time of the
war. is, in the argument Of intelligent
men. reason why the nation should IN
crease its strength The illogical oppo-
nents of the couscliptlon declare that
the weakness of the South makes the
draft unnecessary. In other words, they
wish to equalize the contest as much as
possible They propose to prolong the
war Indefinitely; the Government, by
overu heiwing power, proposes to end 1t
