yALANDlGHAM ESCAPES.

The New York Herald says, 4" that VAL
laHdjgham has run the blockade from Viii.
,nington, 4. c., to Nassau, whence it is stat
ed he will proceed to Canada. When he ar
rives in the British provinces he will no
doubt take up his abode in Chatham, oppo-
site Detroit. where Ferry connects the two
cities. From Detroit to Dayton, Ohio, there
is railroad communication, and the distance
is short. IF he does not think it prudent to
return just now be can easily keep up com-
municaton with the State. and issue telling
addresses, which will be published in the
newspapers. II he should return We think
it very questionable ifhe would be further
interfered with by Burnside. Certain it is
that if he should be elected Governor Of Ohio
as it is highly probable he will be, he will
boldly cross the frontier at once and to
NEEDLE with him after that would bs out of
the question.
II has been suggested that VaIlandigham
will cross the Canadian frontier into the
State of New York, and remain there under
the protection Of Governor Seymour, until
his State calls him to administer its govern.
ment and there can be no doubt that he
would feel more at home in the Empire City
than he would in little Canadian village;
and We fesll assured that Governor Seymour
would not permit him to be arrested contra
ry to law. Bu;, 3: tie Democratic candi-
date for the Governorship Of Ohio could rem
der more aid toward his own election by
posting hirns IF on the frontier Of the State
than by remaining in New York, he will
probably be found at Chatham, Niagara
Falls, or somewhere On the Northern shore
of Lake Erie, till next October, where be
will do infinitely more damage to the admin
istration aud it's candidates than if he we re
permitted TO return unmolested to his home
in Ohio. So much for the vain attempt to
violate with impunity the prohibition of the
constitution against the abridging o: the lib
erty Of srssch."

The DRAFT.-Attorney General Bates has
prepared an opinion, which it is said, is ao-
cep,ed by the Department, that the law of
Congress regarding the payment in lieu of
service when person is dr. afted, is mand ato-
~ and that this sum. and no less, must be
fixed in all cases. out it is also held that this
only exemp,s the party from that particular
draft when the money is paid, and that q
similar liability 10 incurred upon each aud
every draft.

E3 The stolit,onists say they are op.
posed to peace ON any terms, "if you are SO
fierce for war, why don't you take your gun
and go to war7" Ifyou prefer war to Peace
go IN shoulder your gun, and take posi-
tion in the front ranks. Your services are
wanted. Exsmple is better than precept on
this subject. Practice what you preach, and
not urge and force others to do what YOU
won't do yourselves. You like war, go in
and enjoy it

1 DREAMED MY BOY WAS
HOME AGAIN.

WORDS AND MUSIC eY cHAs. CARROLL SAWYER
Lonely, weary, broken hearted
As lai me down TO sleep,
Thinking Of the day we parted,
When you told me not to weep.
Soon l dreamed that peaceful angels
Hoyered DER the battle plain.
Singing songs of Joy and gladness,
And my boy was home again.
CHoRUs-Ipw we'll I know such thoughts of joy
Such dreams of bliss are win,
My heart is sad; my tears will flow
Until my boy is home again,
Tears were changed to loud rejoicing's
Night was turned to endless day!
Lovely birds were sweetly singing,
Flowers boomed in bright array,
Old and young seemed light ard cheerful
Peace seemed every where to reign
My poor heart forgot its sorrow,
For my hey was home again.
CHoaus-How we'll know DO.
But the dream is past and with it
All my happiness is gone
Cheerful thoughts of ~ have vanished;
/ must still in sorrow mourn.
Soon may peace with all its bless ngs
Our unhappy land reclaim;
Then my tears will cease their flowing
And my boy be home again.
CaoRrs-;Eow well know &c.

Corrected Misapprehensions Regarding
the Draft.

There seems to be much mis- apprchen.
sion about the practical working OF the
draft, particularly among the l,boring
classes. 1t Is believed that the places in
the list OF names first drawn by those who
pay the $500 are to be filed by another
draft, and that the drawing will be con
linued until The required numSer from
that district is fully completed. This,
Of course, would ia the eni entirely e up
the list with poor men or those unable TO
unwilling TO pay $500.
But this is entirely sake, and we
make the statement on the very best off
ci authority The Government requires
a given number Of men from a certain
sub.district, say for instance Ga TO this
number is added one third more names
TO allow for disabilities provided for in the
law. thus increasing the number to 90
/ The drawing proceeds un'il the whole
number o! SO names are drawn. No sub
81 quent drawing !akcs place under this
conscripion. The Enrolling Board, tlten
convenes to ascertain who OF the 96 drawn
! persons are exempt by law. and who wish
t. pay their $500. or supply a substitute
The place on the list. of the man handing
over his $500, is not JfNed by another per,
son. but remains permanently vacant
His name still remains there as one o. the
numb of men r' qsired from that distric,
so that no poor man nor any other man
has TO step in and take his place the in
, tention. Of the Government being to take
