oAN WE AFFORD 10 BE DEFEATED
To those Union men who, in the heat
Of their dissatisfaction at the regular
Union nominations are now endeavoring
to divide the party, 10y running an outside
ticket, we put the question-can we afford
to be defeated now, when every principle
Of patriotism demands that we should be
united and successful Can we afford to
hazard our otherwise sure success in the
coming special election for q member of
Congress, by pickering and quarrelling
among ourselves upon mere local matter
that can in twelvemonth ut most correct
itself? The securing member of Con-
gress to the Union cause in the next
National Legislature is worth an hundred
successes Of any merely local ticket
Stand firm then, Union men of Whining
ton, and show to the enemies of free go.
Yelnment, that differences about men are
as nothing, locally considered, when they
tend TO imperil the great issue that We
are not fighting for this candidate or that
candidate, but that with a solid, unbrokei
column. we are all marching onward as
one man, steadily resolved upon the one
great paramount. purpose, the eradica-
tion of treason from the land, and the
complete restoration OF the authority OF
law. This we can only secure by unity Of
action. In the mighty conflict now going
on, and which is showing a startled and
wonder-strieken world the power that
must ever inhere in nation of freemer
united, we cannot afford to be beaten
and so deprived of that ultimate victor,
which the nation is now invited t,
grasp.

DEAR Sin; In answer 10 yo IT inquiry. my
opinion is that the pay tnent Of the $500 com.
mutation and the furnishing II Substitute have
precisely the same effect, Either Of them frees
the drafted mnn ..oin lIrther jrntt tor three
years. He is in effect in service, either hy
himself or another The payment Of $500
makes the Government his agent to procure IL
substitute. The Government has consented to
act az such agent The law says he may On
or before the day fixed ior his appearance fur
nish nn acceptable substitute, or pny such sum
not exceeding $500 fur ihc rrocuraiion Of such
substitute, and thcreupon the person furnishing
the substitute, or payiag Tie moiny, shall he dis
charged from further liability under that draft"
No one doubts that furnishing u substitute rx-
cuses for three years. To give different effect
to the payment Of the commutalion seems to me
little less than an ahsurdiiy. 1t is a very mis-
chlevous miscoostructiun, which, ii need be, |
hEiyc no doubt Congress will correct

An Opinion from Hon. Thaddeus Stevens
ON the Conscription Law.

The Lancaster Express publishes the following
opinion Of Hon 1haideus Stevens, in regard to
the effect of the payment of the $500 commuta-
,ion by drafted man, which set forth the lar
of the case in 50 clear light that we cannot
see why there should bc any conflict of opinion
On that point. The conclusion arrived At is not
only law but it is common sense; and laws
unght certainly to be construed in accordance
with common sense:

cut sssy, and with it, the arches to the door Of
the second tier Of caspmates.
t The debris on this front now forms a rampant
renching as high the Il Or of these ensr mates.
The parapet wall OF the Two north easterly faces
is completely carried away. small portion only
being left in tho ange made with the gorge wall,
and the ramparts OF these ia ea are also total
ruin,
Quito one-half Of our proiectiies seem to have
struck the parade aud pnrapnt of these two
places, and Judging irom the effect they have
had upon the gorge wall, Within our observation,
the destruction of masonry OH these two sides
must be very greut and am Of the opinion that
nearly every arch in these fronts must be broken
IN.
But one gun remains in position on these two
fronts and this is 10 the angle Of the gorge, and
| think upseryicable. The ruins extend around,
taking in the norh-easterly face as far as can be
seen.
A portion of this face, adjoining the angle it
makes with the sOuth.easterly fnce is concealed;
but, from tho great number of missiles which
have struck in this angle during the last two
days, il caDnot be otherwise than greatly
damaged, and do not think any guns can be
lett this face in servicablc condition
The ramparts ON this angle, as well as in the
south eastetly face, must be plowod up aud
greatly shattered.
The parapet on this latter face is torn of in
many places, US we can see, and hardly think
the platform Of the remrin'ng guns OH his fuce
could have escaped
with the assistance Of powerful glass can
not determine that lnero than one of these grus
can be used aud it las been dsmOrnted once.
The carriages Of the others are evidently more
or less shattered, and such is the parapet aud
parade in the immediate Vicinity Of the edu, that
1t probably could not be served for cuy length
OF time.
In fine the destruction of the fort is no far
complete that 1t is to-day of no avail in the de-
Tense OF the haibor of Charleston.
Dy longer fie it can be made mere com
plctrly n ruin and mass Of broken masonry,
but could scarcely be more pOwerlcss for the de-
fense Of the harbor
| therefore respectfully submit my opinion
that q continuance of our fire is no longer neces-
sury, as giving us no ends adquate for the con
sumption of our resources.
