How to Escape the COnscriPtion-A
New Proposition.


3 Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM, in his late speech at
Dayton. Ohio, made the following suggestion:
'He then referred to the three hundred
dollar provision, aud denounced it as an I'M
Just discrimination against the poor. He
proposed that tho City Council of Dayton
and he recommended the measures to the
citizens of Cincinnati, of Chicago, and of all
the cities of the North-should appropriate
money enough, and vote tax for 1t, to re-
lease the city from the draft, and thus spare
the life and limbs of her citizens who were
too poor to paw. The tax would equalize
the burden and make the rich pay some
part of that last dollar Three hundred
dollars. too, was just the price fixed by an
Abolition Congress for the emancipated ne
groes of the District of Columbia. 1t was
now the price of blood. The Admiuistra-
ton said to every man between twenty and
forty-five, THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS
OR YOUR LIFE. A tax by every city
township and county was just the way to
meet it and equalize it,
If Cincinnati is called upon for four thou
sand conscripts, tax of one million and a
quarter upon the city would let us all off.

What is Reasonable Language in an
ARMY Officer?


e One Captain Rolfus has been arrested for
using reasonable language in a leFer of res
ignation. Here is the reasonable language:
THAT I am painfully convinced that th e
war is not prosecuted by the present party
in power in accordance with the principles
and policy under which enlisted eighteen
months ago; that enlisted to fight rebellion =,
to fight treason, to fight for a reconstruction
of the Union as it was, but not for the deg
radiation IF the white man to an equality
with the negro; and being unwilling to sac
ri6ce my liberty of opinion, and more IN
willing to encourage insubordination by the
utterance of sentim ent5 while in the service
which might be considered inconsistent with
COED order and proper discipline in the army;
and as 1 could not as conscieHtiously and as
zealously discharge my duties as formerly,
: respectfully desire that my resignation be
accepted; and, moreover, that the service
would not suffer, because the vacancies in
the regiment were now filled, and a compe-
p tent senior Captain ready to take my place.
If this is reasonable language, what a
host of traitors there must be in the army
and among the people!-Cin' Euq.
- The language of Capt. Capt. Rolfus above,
Is precisely the same in sentiment and
spirit as that Of Mr.. Crittenden's speech on
our first page. Will any man dare say
that Mr.. Crittenden's speech contains treas
enable language? ..."

How the Soldiers FeeI-Significant


We are permitted by resident of this
city, says the Hartford Times, to publish
the following extracts from a private letter
received from relative of his, who is a
member of the Conn ectcut 14th regiment.
The letter only confirms all other accounts
of the real state of feeling in the army:
FALMOUTH, Feb. "a, 1863
X You spoke in your letter of
Gov Seymour. 1 see by the New York
Herald, that be was nominated for Governor
This suits us ALL There isn't man in the
18th regiment, now so far as / can learn,
tn at wouldn't vote the Democratic ticket
and there ore some here who were the most
rabid Republicans you ever saw.
There was a nice time in New York
regiment the other day. The Colonel is a
Republican, and he called out the regimen
to see which way they would vote if they
were at home. The whole of them voted
Democratic, and the Colonel was as mad as
a March hare. You would think he would
go wild. He would hardly speak to any of
the men for some days afterwards, he was so
mad. What made it worse for him, he had
some spectators of the vo:ing-friends who
had come to see him that day and whom he
had excited by telling them that he was 60
ing to show them that all his men would
vote the way he wanted them.

IA 3 TEE WAR NEWS.

The operations during last week were
yeryzsRght.- Contradictory rumors as to
the situation at Vicksburg have been afoat
---one, that the Confederates were eyacu-
atingth eir position, another that the FEEDER
ais were threatened with foundation of their
opposite the city. and third that an
early fight was imminent-the latter is the
most probable. - 1t is said Gen. Banks is
almost ready for'an Immediate attack on
Port Hudson. Rosecrans is still inactive
near! Murfreesboro; and Bragg is said to
have received reinforcement of eleven
Brigades from Virginia, which is not prob
able. Another improbable story is, that a
large Confederate force has got behind
Resecrans, heading for Kentucky. No ap-
parent change in the situation of the oppo-
sing armies on the Rappahannock.

YoUTHFULNEss OF OUR OFFICERs.-The
youthfulness of our artillery officers is said
to be striking feature of the war, but the
fact is of more general application. The
average age of our ofhceri generally is much
below that of European oficers-parteular
~ commanders. The circun stance is per-
hsps thus susceptible of explanation: that in
old communities promotion takes place by
seniority, and in a country new, COMPARE
lively, in the practice of arms, the rise is by
merit, or popular election. The ''gallant
Pelham" as General Lee calls him, is an
AIabamian about 20 years old; Pegram, of
the Purcell Battery, is hardly 81; Latmar
the Captain OF the Letcher Artillery, is only
II; and bearing, of Latham's old battery, is
not above % or 23.-Atlanta { Ga.) Southern

New Hampshire acknowledgements
Plurality.

The Democracy have m ade splendid and
imposing exhibition of their strength in
New Hampshire They haze trol0n more
Uotes for their candidate for Governor than the
Atolitionists haze giUen theirs. He only fails
of an election by few hundred votes given
to a third candidate, which prevents him
having majority over all, which is requir-
ed by the law in that State. On straight
fight, they have beaten the Abolitionists
nearly thousand. In 1860 Lincoln had a
majority over Douglas, Bell and Breckin-
ridge, of about 5000 Last year the Adolf
tionists had $500 majority over the Demo
Gratis on Governor. This year they are
beaten on the popular vote in this intense
New England State: IF the Abolitionists
are in the minority in New Hampshire, the
question arises what State can they carry?-
/ They will be beaten in Connectic and in
all the Middle and Westera States. Adolf
tiouism has played out, and has poor show
even in New England.-Cin. Enquirer.
