"THE DRAFT" says the Springfield Re.
publican, "will give us very few men, worth
having; the most sanguiDe now estimate
but fifty thousand as its net result; but af-
ter this farce is over, the government will
procure a large number of re-enlistments
by the generous bountics it is able to offer
There is no doubt that if this matter is
managed with any judgment and tact, the
government can obtain anywhere from a
hundred Thousand to hundred and fifty
thousand men before January, most of them
veterans. Then there are the negro regi-
ments formed and forming, which may
amount to twenty thousand or fifty thou
sand by next spring, whose services will be
worth something, though we connot hon.
estly put them above white men as fight
ers."
We do sincerely pity conservative"
Republican editor, daily called upon and
expected to say things, which honesty will
not let him say. But the Republican, hon

of the dishonest suspiciously well; and diff

breadth of the sky, from its radical contem-
poraries, and agreeing, as in this ma tier Of
the draft, with the conservative press gene

ddates and throws its influence constantly
upon the side of which, if we can believe
the sincerity of its editorials, it distrusts
the principles and disapproves the policy.
1t is wort something to be on the side of
the majority, especially to an amiable man,
but hardly so much We should think.

Mr.. Lincoln's Springfield Letter.
From the London Times, Sept. a.

Mr.. Lincoln declares, too, that
no c. mpromise embracing the maintenance
of the Union is now possible. He commits
himself, in SO many words, to war of con-
quest, to last possibly, by his own ddmis.
sion, for years, and without having any
definite plan or policy whatever for the
government of the country he proposes to
conquer. With such prospect, it is nat
ural that not even the anticipated fall of
Charleston was sufficient to rouse him to
any language beyond that of sulen resolu-
ton. The chances of the conquest itself
are distant enough, if the reinforcement of
his armies proceeds as it has hitherto done
in the Eastern States. The gunboats that
;,atrol the Hudson, the artillery that com.
mands the squares, and the twenty or thirty
thousand men who garrison New York have
produced return of not quite two thous
and conscripts. Even these are not likely
to be of much use if he has to begin en-
forcing discipline in his new army by shoot
ing seven substitutes for conscripts who had
deserted The negro troops will not help
him if the Southern States, as seems to be
the case, have made up their minds to the
arming of the slaves. But when the last
Confederate army is annihilated, what does
he imagine he could do with the miserable
remnant Of the Southern population and the
mass of helpless negroes? He confesses
that his hands are tied by theemancipation
proclamation, aud that he can do little else
than let things alone. Will the Americans
be content to let the great ship of their re-
public drift any further helpless and rudder-
less into this vast and fearful storm, with a
pilot who confesses that he cannot guide
her, but must let her drive before the wind?

The Invasion of Mexico.

MAXIMILILIAN's ACCEPTANCE STILL DOUBTFUL
Paris sept. S) Correspondence of London Telegraph
We hear nothing of the final determine
ton of the Archduke Macmillan; and, in
deed, it is quite evident that in 1853
princes are in no hurry to accept thrones
but look at the reverse of the medal as well
as the fattering image first presented to
their eyes, it is said that the Archdukc is
to be visitor to Biarritz, but not until he
has seen the deputation from his offered

France, in the meantime, has Just sent
out 10000 uniforms and 10000 pairs oil

RECOGNITION.

Recognition.
NJ DE MoNTHoLoN's ADDRESS TO NAPOLEON.
Paris correspondence of the Botsshatter of Vienna
September I'll
Amongst other projects the recognition
of the Confederate States by France is still
on the order of the day. The Emperor is
personally most strongly inclined to take
such step. Nevertheless, some of the
Ministers, but particularly M. de Morny,
whose opinion has great weight with the
Emperor, are opposed to 1t. NJ de Moutho-
lon, who was recalled to France expressly
to be consulted on the Mexican question,
declares himself decidedly in favor of the
recognition of the Southern States
This diplomatist expressed himself as
follows to the Emperor
If, sire, you wish to create permanent
government in Mexico, you must obtain
some firm point d'appua, and this the South
ern States can alone afford you, You must
run the hazard Of a war with the Northern
States, which, however, the Northerner:
will endeavor to avoid But if you will not
| recognize the Southern States, you may re-
nounce the idea of founding throne in
Mexico, and give up the conquered kingdom
to the Federal States on favorable condi
tions. Mexico will rejoice in republican
liberty under the flag of the United States
You, then, sire, will have the glory of hav
ing accomplished the mission of civilization
in both hemispheres, and giveu a brilliant
example of your disinterestedness; but 1
new and durable kingdom you will MOI
have created

Graphic Description by q Par.
ticipant i'm the Boat Attack on
Sumter.
From the Detroit Advertiser

from the Detr0lt AuNertsoiJ
From private letter, dated off Charles
ton, Sept. 10, we extract the following:
You will have many conflicting accounts
of the Inflated boat expedition Against Sum-
ter. Permit me to give you my story,
which, in its main details, you may rely
upon as correct. Information (Which prov
ed false) was received that portion of
Sumter's garrison had left, and it was de-
termined by Admiral Dahlgreen that four
hundred blue jackets should 60 in haste and
storm it. We went around with one ship,
the Wissahickon, to the other vessels and
collected thirty boats, with four hundred
and fifty officers and men, commanded by
E.P. williams, of the Wissahickon, and
we started at seven o'clock on a calm even.
ing. [ was detailed for the reserve, which
did not 60 in, and consequently am her.
writing, instead of being ga prisoner to the
C.S. A. When the expedition neared the
fort they were discovered "Who goee
there 2" shouted the sentry. No answers
"Who goes there?" shouted the sentry a
second time. 'Surrender," roared one OF
our men. "Nary surrender; you can't
climb these wallis" replied the reb. "For.
ward Charged Down came the hand
grenades in showers on the boat
The landing being destroyed by our pre-
yious fire the men could not disembark.-
A terrible scene ensued. All took panic.
The rear retreated, and the advancing boats
were cut of, and not being able to find
their way back from the fort, were captured,
and two hundred officers and men are now
prisoners within the walls Of Sumter. In
the confusion there was, of course, gener-
al scattering, and many were missing, until
a fiag of truce went in and discovered the
real state of affairs Our captain, E. >.
Williams, his first lieutenant. and ten of
our men are prisoners. The Powhatan,
aousatonic. Canandaigua, and in fact all
the rest lost their proportion OF the two
hundred. The iron clads did not participate
but they are now hanging down the walls
hand over fist, and so is Gilmore.
1t is very Notifying to relate this, but
the expedition was ill planned, ill conduc-
ted. and was failure, and the Government
will be apt to make severe inquiry into 1T.
No plan appeared to be made and the enc.
nv had full sight of the boats all the after
noon. To make sudden dash was the OBJ
iect. and it failed miserably. Scaling walls
fifty feet high, without ladders and without
any knowledge of the place was foolish in
the extreme. But our men will be soon
exchanged, and it is to be hoped that this
wild goose hunt will teach some of tic
'higher powers" lesson of prudence.

1t is probable that the bona fde charac

will be established to the salts faction of the
government. There is no satisf factory eri-
dence forthcoming to show that they were

day, on her trial trip, Mr. Laird pledging
himself that she shall return to his yard
As the case stands at present, there is ev-

abandon it's intention of interfering with
them, as there is nothing to show that they
violate any provision of the Foreign Enlist
