mpDoUGLAS MATTERS.
Arrival OF Troops, etc., etcs

Camp Douglas bids fair again to -csume It's
pristine Importance MS Military Post. We
are glad to chronicle the arrival in our midst
Of stalwart well kept Union soldiers, sent
here to guard q few thousand rebel prisoners.
Camp Douglas is to be strengthened,
thoroughly guarded, ard fitted up as the ten.
pora1y residence Of our misguided Southern
brethren, whom the fortunes Of war have
thrown into our hands.
:, r81soS RULES ENFORCED AGA1S.
Preparatory TO the arrival ofa large number
OF rebel prisoners, the buildings are being
cleaned and repaired, and strict order en-
forced. For some months past the grounds
hare been open to visitors. Yesterday morn
ing guards were stationed, aud the former
rigid rules ordered to be REINFORCED hence

THE MICHIGAN sHARPsHoo1ERs.
The eight companies Of the 1st Regiment Of
Michigan Sharpshooters, under the command
Of Col, c. Y. DeLand, that arrived at Camp
Douglas from Fort Dearborn, Michigan, on
Monday, are already on duty. This regiment
has bscn recently engaged in repelling the
Morgan raid, and will remain ut Camp Dou-
glas until required for further active SER
vice. Two companies, not being tnll but IA.
pidly recruiting, remain at Fort Dearborn,
but are expected speedily to join their com
rades at Camp Douglas. The company Of
Indians are the most singular and attractive
features about this regiment. They were
going through their regular drill under the
instruction Of their commander, Capt. Auder-
eon, and considering that but barely six
weeks have elapsed since they enlisted, they
drill remarkably we'll. They number seventy
ei1, md are about equally divided, Chtppe-
ways from Lake Superior, and Ottowas from
Michigan. The former speak French huently
but generally require an interpreter for the
English language. They appear to understand
tie military orders we'll. The interpreter
soys they shall never learn the meaning Of
skedaddle'' or " retreat" that they have no
use for such words that brave Indians never
go backwards. They arc sta1wart, we'll
built company Of men, as are all this regi-
mcnt Of Sharpshooters, with scarce IN ezccp.

Politics Of Gen. Grant.

The Galena CID Adgertiser settles the
vexe,i question rs to General GRANTS po-
IiticaI status. While in the army he new
er voted bat after be settled in Gaena he
declared himself Democrat, and voted in
1850 for STEPHEN \. DoUGLAs for Presi-
dent. 1t should be understood that it re-
qnircs great deal Of moral courage in a
business man TO acknowledge himself a
Democrat in Northern Illinois. That sec
lion Of country is more intensely and big
otedIv Abolition than even Massachusetts,
Of the Western Reserve. General GRANT
does not trouble himself much about po'it-
led organizations. HIS business is 10 obey
orders and win all the battles he can. He
has had The good sense not to write roIiti,
cal letters or interfere in any way with the
newspapers. We wish, for his own sake,
that General RosEcRAHs' record were as
crcditable in this respect.

Decisions Concerning the Draft.

Tie following decisions and opinions
have been sent from Washington during
the last week:
Whenever acting assistant provost mar
shall generals OF states may deem it neces-
sarv, boards of enrolment will be author

may be acquired to aid the respective sur
geons of their boards il the preliminary
examination of drafted men.
The surgeon of the board shall in per
son examine such case Of physical d sa-
bilitv upon which claim for exemption
shall be based, and his recommendation
shall be laid before The board of enroll
ment for its declsi IN in the premises. No
exemption for physical disqualification
shall be granted by the board till such ex-
| animation shall have been made bg the
surgeon Of the board in person.
Provost tnarshals shall see that drafted
men, whether principals of substitutes, are
sent to the designated general renhezs Gus
on the day they are accepted, 1t 1t can be
done. If not, then as soon after as posi-

Where there are no military guard'
available, provost marshals must employ
enough special guards to accomplish this
purpose. Substitutes especially should b
sent promptly to the rendezvous, aud tht
boaJds should only accept them AS the!
are prepared thus to dispose of them.
Boards of enrolment should concuc

cation Of persons drafted 10 such manner
that the drafted men will be required K
report for examination in squads OF man

venieut periods, and not all Ga the same

When drafted men fail to report, th'

The Fighting near Charleston.

The news from Charleston is not what
the public were led to expect from the in
i,iatorF moverH ents Of General GILMORE.
Our forces have met with defeat SO Sc
we're that, If it does not raise the siege an
til fall, it viii at least retard operations so
much that an early issue OF the conflict
cannot he looked for There will be no
more "movirg upon the eneny's works, y
but instead regular scientific investment
of the enemy's batteries, and this, we ap-
prebend, will require a heavy reinforce
ment of men and munitions Of war for
General GILMORE.
1t is idle to blame our generals for the
unsuccessful assault Like GRANT at
Eicksburg and BANKs at Port Hudson,
GILMORE bad to learn BY costly experience
the character Of the defenses he was oper-
alinc against. The New York Tribune
scolds our generals for their management
Of the attack, but it seems to Us that the
Confet:era,es were the only parties who
were to blame for our not getting possess
ion Of the battery.
II will not do for the movement against
Charleston to stop at this tins. The cam.

US is at 40 end for the present; and TWEEN
ty thousand of our veteran troops should

What q Republican Paper says.

The Albany Sfatesnan, Republican
paper, thus warns the government against
continuing longer to insist upon the en-
forcement Of the draft:
"The government nevar committed a
more fatal mistake than when it abandon
ed the volunteer and bounty systems
systems which put into The field million
men in eighteen months. The govern
ment, after it puts down the riot in New
York, should TAKE a calm view Of the dan
gers which surround us. and If possible re-
turn TO a system which has never failed
~, and which never should have been
abandoned. Every person who wishes to
see the southern rebellion promptly put
down, should use every exertion to pre-
vent rebellion fom breaking out in the
loyal states. Ne are no alarmisr. and yet
ne cardid'y think tha: it will take more
troops to enforce the draft in this state
than is required to capture Richmond -
The rioters in New York should and must
be crushed We owe this to the suprem-
acy of the laws. Having done this. we
do beseech our rulers to so modify the
draft that the loyal states may continue to
exhibit an unhroken front against the re-
beIion. Nothing but this unbroken front
can prevent the rebellion from becoming
success. We call upon President Lin.
