"DUNN BROWNE" READS HIS OWN
0BIruARy.-Dunn Browne writes from
Annapolis, May Is, to the Springfield
Republican as follows
Did you ever happen to read your own
obituary notice in a newspaper? Proba-
bly, not, and long may you be spared not
to do so. "Serus in coelum redeas." But
and If at last the thing should happen to
you, may you be there yourself alive and
well to read ii as read mine yesterday.
1t is queer kind of reading though for a
man: You read it rather hesitatingly, as
if you might be intrudng on words that
We're not meant for your ears. You run
over IT rather curiously, as wondering what
sort of news item your exit will make.
You read il somewhat sadly and pityingly
as sympathizing with the thrill Of sorrow
that will pass through some loving hearts
as the eye glances over the column. You
read it with some sort Of JOY as exulting
in the CONSCIOUSNESS that you sssa neverthe-
less alive, on better authority than that Of
any newspaper IN existence. You read it
on the whole pretty seriously, and hang
around it many thoughts and fancies, many
questions and meditations Of that unknown
existence in which the printers type ha'
temporarily placed you. You read it
hope with some feeling OF devout gratitude
to Him whose sparing hand has made tn
notice for the present untrue, and givel
you an opportunity to furnish material 70
better one by and by.
Grieve not then, oh veracious Republl
can, that your notice in this one instanc
was lacking in truth. That is yer
common failing in obituary items. Rejoic
with your readers over this your returnin
very prodigal correspondent, who Wa
dead and is alive again, who was lost
the wilderness about Charlottesville, wa:
ted his living among the harpes and Jew
of secessia, was fain to eat the husks of II
Libby prison, and is very glad to be four
again back in region where fatted calv
are not yet among the things that were.

The, Three Hundred Dollars EXEMPTION.

A few days since it was anhouuced that
Col Jefries had received Instruction from
Washington TO the effect that drafted
parties inaNIafy land, who might commute
by paying three hundred dollars, would
only be except from the present draft, and
would be liablcfso the next. Subsequent.
ly, however, Col. Jetfries asked for further
instructions, and received the following
despatch from Proves; Marshal Gen. Fry.
"The President has order that every
citizen who has paid the three hundred
dollars Communication shall receive the
same credit therefor as it he had provided
a substitute, and is exonerated from mill

can secure his exemption FROM military

Exhaustion of the North and South.

The fallacy prevailing Mr.. Seward
views and the views Of all his cuuutrymer
lies In the assumption that the North Is
liable to no such exhaustion, but enjoy.
resource without limit. 1t seems to j,
forgotten that the population Of tile Fed
eral States is, after all, little more than
twice that of the southern States, blacks
including, and is oul y about equal TO that
of Eng land and Wales, and though the
northerners may have twice the means OF
their antagonists, yet they have been lv-
ing twice as fast They have maintained
armies twice, as numerous and suffered
losses, twice raised 100000 men, lost
25O,0O0 and are proposing to raise annth-
er 100, 900: The Fcderals have raised, ac-
cording to various estimates, from 1,0O0.-
900 to 1,25,OO0, have lost 100000 or
600 600, and are praperiug to raise 800,
OOO more. They have expended, there.
fore, as much Of their strength as the
South has dune and there seems, Indeed.
, every reason to believe that President Da.
Wis will obtain his 100000 fresh troops
more easily than President Lincoln his
800, 900. In fact, however Mr. Seward
may speak of the inexhaustible resources
of the North in ''money, material, and
men," there are signs enough If a decline
in the supply OF soldiers, Enlisting has
failed volunteering has failed, and it is
very plain that the conscrlption is now
failing. Nor can we wonder at the event.
or regard it as premature. "'
Let the reader imagine, if he can, FIVE
