A Backing Down,
S. p. Russell.

A few days ago General Burnside issued
an order supprcssing the Chicago Times
for publishing the truth, and the same
time, and for the same reason, prohibited
the circulation OF the New York WOrlI in
his Military Department. The issuance Of
this tyranuical mandate caused an intense
excitement in Illinois, and the danger Of
an outbreak of popular Indignation was
imminent in Chicago. The Legislature Of
Illinois also took action in the matter, and
the arbitrary proceedings of Burnside were
denounced in unmeasured terms in that
body, and by the people every where.
This being the state of the case the Ad.
ministration at Washington became alarm
ed at the threatening aspect of affairs, and
acting upon the maxim that "discretion i;
the better part Of volor," the President
was constrained to revoke the unconstitu
tional act of his pet General, and thus rio
and bloodshed have been prevented ii
Chicago and elsewhere in the Northwest
But is it not humilating position for til,
Administration to be placed in? Eithe,
Burnside was right or wrong in issuing th
offensive order. If right, he should hav
been sustained by the. President, regard
less of consequcDces--if wrong, (and n
sane man doubts it,) Mr.. Lincoln shouli
have concliated public opinion by prompt
ly dismissing him from the army. He ha
done neither, and therefore the Admins
traticn will bO held responsible for tn
and all the other tyrannieal acts Of its sub
ordinate.

SANDALPHON.
ny LoNGFELLow.


Have you read in the TaImud Of old,
In the legends the Rabbins have told
Oftht limitless realms of the air;
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
ofSandalphon, the Angel of Glory,
Sandalphon, the Angel of Prayer,
How, erect, at the outermost gates
OF the City Celestial he waits,
with his feet on the ladder of light,
That, crowded with angels unnumbcred
by Jacob was seen, as he sumbered
Alone in the desert at nght7
The Angels Of wind and Of Fire
Chant only one hymn. and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire in their rapture and wonder,
AS harp.strings are broken asundcr
BY the music they throb to express.
But serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved ty the rush of the song,
With eyes uninpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the deathless
Sandalphon stands listening, breathless,
TO sounds that ascend from below
From the spirits on earth that adore,
From the souls that entreat and inpore
In the frenzy and passion of prayer
From the hearts that are broken with losses,
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortals to bear.
And he gathers the prayers as he stands,
And they change into flowers in his hands,
Into garands ofpurpc and red;
md beneath the great arch OF the portal,
Through the streets of the City Immortal,
Is waited the fragrance they shed.
1t is but legend, know
a fable, phantom, n show
Of the ancient Rabbinical lore;
Yet the old medieval tradition
The beautiful, strange superstition,
But haunts me and holds me the more
When look from my window at night,
And the welkin above is all white,
All throbbing and painting with stars,
Among them maiesticis standing
Sandalphon, the angel, expanding
His piRions in ncbulous bars.
Nnd the legend feel, is part
OF the hunger and thirst of the heart,
The frenzy and fire ofthc brain,
That grasps at the fruitage forbidden,
And golden pcmcgranatas Of Eden,
To quiet its fever and pain.

The Coming Draft.

There is very general misapprchcnsion
regarding the number Of men whose terms
Of service will expire in our armies by the
close ofthe present year. 1t is supposed
that there are at least $4,000 two years
men and 800, 900 nine months men, when
the fact is the number of two years men
all told, will not amount to more than ~,
GOO, Of which the great majority are from
this state, while there are not over $50,
600 nine months men now in the feld.-
1t will be remembered that the last call
was for 5000 three years men and an
equal number of nine months men but
more wise than the administration, no less
than FIVE of our northern provinces bent
all their energies to recruiting three years
men almost exclusively. Only two nine
months regiments were raised in this state,
but we had large excess of three years
men over other states. We were nearly
30,OOO behind on the full quotas, but the
longer term for which our citizens were
recruited was allowed in thetfnal count.
The governors Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa also discountenanced the raising
Of nine months troops.
1t follows, therefore, that our armies
will not be SO much reduced by the terms
of service of the soldiers expiring as is
generally supposed. Taking into account
the discharged for disability, the deserters,
and those killed in battle, we do not be-
lievC that our armies in the field will ac-
tually lose more than 100000 effective
men by the expiration Of the terms of SER
vice of soldiers during the present year
True, this is very large number, but
who can doubt but that there will still be
left men enough to beat down the rebel
armies, if they are only properly hand
led
This matter is important in view Of the
conseription about to be enforced. 1t is
given cut that three hundred thousand
men will probably be the number called
for. Should new army of that size be
raised, it will bemore than enough to fill
up the gaps in tie ranks of our armies in
the field, and will, in addition, furnish u
reserve large enough for all practical
perposes.
In the future army Of the United States
allowance must be made for the negro ele.
mcnt. 1t is estimated that there are now
about 81 900 colorcd men in the United
States uniform, distributed as follows:

The effect Of a disaster would thus have
been 70 increase the tendency 70 ask
whether We must not make peace at any
cost whatever, whether il were honor, se-
.eurity, liberty, future tranquility, deeehcy
or self-respeet. And with this would have
come the greater willingness TO vote for
the ticket that was felt to represent that
policy; not In terms. not openly, but by
the necessity of the case. All the weak %
whom disaster would have bred despair
would have 'elutehed at the Wood and Sey-

In the peril Of noble principles would have
seized it even more gladly than they do
now. Allithe trAitOrOus OOPPeFhead crew

It is because rebel victories IN the field
