THE DIR 1 FIT,
rom tla Eationa, yn,allircncc-. !

From the Nationa. !"te!!igcnccT
We announced in. our paper of
Monday last, on the, authority Of a
correspondent Of the New York
Times, that the Secretary Of War
was understood to have decided that
the section in the conacriptien act
authorizing drafted persons to be ~
empted from service on payment Of
a sum not exceeding three hnndre!
dollars SIS perm!sslve, not manHHro-
ry." 50 far as he is conc9rnel Jnat
it is optional with him q accept the
money ana fad aSuhStitute. Q: 10
DO neither: that cuDse'iacntiy the
clause in question vii? be slmp!E 4
dead letter.
We did not give much heed to this
announcement for two reasons First
". because we felt assured that the
Secretary of War, in coming to q
conclusion on a point so interesting
aud important, would have anuonnc-
ed the result of his deliberations in
more authentic form than that
which it received from an nnanthnrlI-
ed despatch from this city to Nor
thcrn journal and, secondly, the
construction and interpretation al
legged to have been given to the act
of Congress under this head were so
plainly untenable that we did not
think it worth while to treat with
seriousness the question raised by
the rumor. The law on this point
is not open to doubt or cavil. 1t
reads as follows:
"SEc. l2.-fnd he il further enacted, That
any person drafted and notified to appear as
aforesaid, may, on Or before The day hX",. for ms
appcarancc furnish an acceptable substitute 10
take his place in the DRAFT, or he may part" such
person as the Secretary OF War may Ictcrntne
for the procuraticm Of such substitute, "i!ct |uh

upon proper showing that he is not liable to dc
mitary duty. the board Of enrolment shall re-

Nothing could be clearer than
that the Secretary of War, {" at the
time of ordering the draft for any
State or Territory" is required to
fix, by a general order, such sum,
not exceeding three hundred dollars
as may be determined for the proc
uration Of substitutes, and that the
person drafted who procurcs a sub
stitute, or pays the sum so fixed,
"shall be discharged from further
| liability to that draft.

the enemy lost as many in killed as we did

The N. Y. 1ri6une's Washington special
says: The general summing up is, that
after two days severe fighting, in which Gen
Rosecrans, with greatly inferior forces, bore
the shock of 100000 rebels comprising the
armies Of Bragg and Johnston, half of Lee
army and all of Pemberton's scattered troops
that could be gathered together, he deemed
it prudent to fall back upon Chattanooga,
which he did IN good order.
AT the last accounts he had established
communications with the cavalry of General
Burnside, who is severely censured for not
having arrived earlier.
cit is believed that Rosecrans will be put
in position to enable him to resume the often
sive. In the meantime he is thought to be
strong enough to hold his ground"
The Heralfs Washington special says =
" Nothing has been talked Of or thought of
in Washington to-day, except the fate of Ro-
secrans' army. 1t is officially ascertaincd
that he has fallen back to Chattanooga, to
await the arrival Of Burnsides forces, which
were yesterday within thirty miles, and ex.
pected to be up with him to-day, when a for
ward movement would be promptly made on
the lines of the enemy at Pigeon Mountain.
I" The utmost confidence is felt here that,
upon the juncture of Burnside with Rose
Grams the enemy will be badly beaten and
compelled to fall back upon Rome or Attain
ta."
