A WORD FITLY SPoKEN.-At Bridge
port, Connecticut. a few days ago.
General Wool. in q brief speech,
said:
At the beginning Of this war we had
no experience. from the President down
to the humblest soldier. None OF our
Generals had ever handled large bodies
of men; perhaps there was no excep-
tion in any one Of them who had COM
manded more than a regiment. We
are becoming educated to war. A
General. to handle FIVE thousand men,
cannot be made in a day; one to han
die twenty thousand requires years Of
experience. aHd to successfully handle
one hundred thousand requires not
alone experience. but great genius
None Of our Generals, as yet, have
signally distinguished themselves
RosEoRAEs, perhaps, more than any
other. He is an earnest man, and that
is an element which is indispensable to
success in commander. He must not
only be professional soldier. but be-
lieve in the war in his heart. Ny
friends, we are to have successes, and
that, ! believe, speedily. Our soldiers
are as loyal as the day they left their
homes. and it is your duty to stand by
and support and encourage them
They fear the rebels 10 front not q jot;
but they do dread the cold hearted
neglect of former friends at home
Some smoug you cry peace. when
there can be no peace. The rebels re-
ject all suggestions of peace. and spurn
those who make them. We must fight
it out now, and prove ourselves worthy
descendants of our honored forefathers.
Any other course will entail upon us
the scorn and contempt of the civilized
world. It 10 said there are traitors
among you; they cannot be legitimate
descendants of our forefsthers; they
must be the offspring Of kite who
laid her eggs in an eagles nest. Such
men are meaner than rebels; they have
not courage to 60 South, and should
be driven from the society Of all loyal
men,. 1t is our duty to stand BY the
army. stand by the Government. and
support the Administration IN all its
acts for the suppression Of this infa-
nous rebellion. By this course. that
success is certain and speedy; any
other, and we lose our inheritance. en-
tail upon our country eternal war. and
close the page Of our history with the
most odious record Of cowardice and
poltroonery the world has ever pro-
duced.

@Judge LEAvITT Of the Circuit
Court Of the United States, in session
at Cincinnati has refused the spplics-
tion of G. L. Vallandigham for a writ
of Habeas Corpus directed to Gen.
Burnside. for The purpose of relieving
him from arrest, &c.
The opinion of the Judge is q very
able one, but too long for our space
AllhOnest, patriotic men will rejoice ths:
this accomplished scouDdrel has at last
met with at least modicum Of well
merited punishment. He can find am
pie time within the walls OF Fort War
ren, to mediate upon his Infamous
course. Not that it will have any ben
e6cial effect upon him any more than it
would upon his friend JEFF Davis, but
his absence from among the people Of
the North, will strengthen the hands
of the loyal, and close the mouths Of
disloyal men among US.
It is to be hoped Gen. Burnside will
not stop with this case. but wherever
brswliug copperbeads hiss. or void their
venom 10 the ears OF honest men, the
military power of the nation. will at
once remove the odious reptiles to pla-
ces where they can crawl in their own
slime, and no loyal man be compelled
to breathe the poisonous air. made so
by their insidious attacks upon mea-
sures, and laws devised solely for the
happiness OF the whole people. but rus

Times says he entered the Military
Academy q. West Point in ls42. and

city and intrepidity much to the con-
quest and acquisition Of that State.-
For his reckless daring at Puebls de

of the new regiments. in consideration
that be had been in fty-thres battles
and skirmishes with the Mexicans and
Indians. Soon after receiving his new
appointment he visited Europe, where
he tsrried two years. and it is con-
-ceded BY all military men who have ex.
smined his notes upon the armies Of
Europe. that they are equal in practical
utility to those Of General Mcclellan.
At the breaking out Of this rebellion.
he was one of those who were turned
over BY Gen. Twiggs, but declined to
ratify the bargain; and when Col. Ford
demanded his surrender on General
TWigg's order. StonemaL told him to
"Go to hill" and, although compelled
to leave the State, neither his horses
nor his arms nor those Of his command
fell into the hands of the rebels. pre-
ferriDg that they should fall into the
hands OF the Mexicans. which was the
case. He left Brownsville IN Nav,

in New York he was assigned to duty
on Gen. McClellan's Staff as Inspector.

THE DRAFT.
Pu1LLnRIparL Nav


PHILADELPHIA. May II.
The Philadelphia Dispatch Of this
morning, publishes a dispatch from
Washington, dated May 18th, which
says. the fact that both officers and
men to q considerable number, daily
arrive from the Rappahannock. and
proceed TO their homes on leaves Of sb-
sence. is regarded as an additional in
dication that the army will not i'm
mediately make movement against
the enemy. Gen. Hooker's purpose
and the design OF the Government. so
far as the Army Of the Potomac is con-
cerned, are, in the absence Of facts,
mere matters Of conjecture.
Regiments Of nine months and two
years men are constantly pouring in
through Washington to the Nor:h.
their time having expired There is a
feeling Of nervousness upon the subject
in some quarters, but our military
leaders are satisfied that il We are to
lose twenty OF thirty thousand men
from the army at all. it is better to lose
them now.
The Transcript devotes considerable
space 10 discussion OF the draft. and
says Secretary Stanton has placed an
Interpretation on the eonseription act
that practically ignores the three hun
dred dollar exemption clause. This is
said to have been done on the represen-
tation that throughout the West the
acceptance of three hundred dollars in
lieu Of service would have the effect.
in large measure. to defeat the main
intention Of the Law, which was to pro-
duce soldiers Tor the army.
On the ground that the three hun
dred dollars clause is permissive and
mandatory, and that therefore il is op-
tional with him to accept or reject the
money, for which provision is made
either for collection or safe keeping.
the Secretary Of War has decided to |
ignore the $500 exemption clause
altogether; snd in this he is sustained
BY the President and Solicitor Whit
ney.
In conclusion. It says the draft will

4EWhen We see how very slow
and inefficient some of our military
leaders appear to be. what an autipa-
-th5 they seem to have to motion and
action. wecannot help feeling new and
bitter regret for the loss Of General
Lyon. His promptuess and rapidity
were wonderful. In those great els-
ments of successful generalship, he
probably never had an equal iu this
country. When Gov. jackson Of Mis-
souri,, issued bis rebel proclamation and
at the same time fed to place himself
at the head of a rebel force got up for
the occasion, General Lyon started 10
the pursuit without waiting even a sin
gle day to make the preparations that
would have occupied most Generals
two or three weeks at least. And
throughout his whole brief military
career he exhibited an energy that
surprised his friends and constantly ap-
pslled bis enemies, the latter never
knowing where his fast-comiDg blows
would fall.
II Genersl Lyon had not unfortu.
nately fallen, be would. long ere this,
have been at the head Of one of the
principal armies OF the Union. and the
nation would have resped the mighty
advantages and glories of bis match
less military vigor.
