Mis- ceiIaneO Us

E,EctrloN OF DEsERTERs Last Friday
this division was drawn out to witness most
PAINFUL scene: such one a. sad necessity
has made only too common In the army of
late. the execution of two deserters. sub

ieers. Elliott and Eastman bv name. The
necessity Of this thing has been evident en-

Its salutary effect If evident enough in the
almost entire cessation Of dcsertion since it
has been generally understood through the
army that the death penalty WAS sure to be
inflicted 1t is almost laughablc to see the
anxiety with which the stragglers from the
various regiments have been rushing back
to their commands within the last few days,
and the eagcrness with which they put in
their excuses But there were some un-
necessarily revolving circumstances connected
with the exection of this sentence that make

BEFORE AND AFTER.-See how the copper
heads support the Government. Take the
Albany Argus, for example
On the Ilth of July it urged Congress to
pass Conscription Act before adjourning.
" 1t is quite probable that within a month af-
ter the adjournment, the Executive will find it
necessary to resort TO drafting. and if it should
be the case, it would be exceedingly awkward to
he obliged to call Congress together for the au-
thority."
On the 18th of July the same journal
wrote
" The recent acts Of Congress give extraoriin-
airy power to the President TO call the militia into
the field; and the legislation Of Congress and Of
the States, II roiuHfeeriag fails, riH be directed
to the drafting Of troops. T'olunfeers nor,
or drafted troops for January merit, is the alter
native presented to the young men Of the coun-
try. Let them take the honorable and profitable
alternative now
On the 3lst Of July its language was still
stronger
" No war Of proportions like the present Was
ever conducted by volunteering Throughout all
Europe conscription Is the rule; and if occasion
ally England presents an exception, ii is because
she seldom puts large army i. the field, but
relies on her navy and impresses seamen into it
whenever she needs them
On the next day. the lst fAugust, it said
50 We should have reinforced the army, fit
had been necessary to impress troops bodily into
the service. The public would sustain draft
rather than an abandonment Of a campaign on
which so much has rested
On the ID of August it condemned
the apathy of Government or Of the people
in not reinforcing Mcclellan at all sacrifices.
even of draft, IN his hazardous position"
On the 18th it said
"If the Government orders draft. the peo-
pie will respond faithfully, if not cheerfully. to
that also"
But after this measure, so necessary and
proper, according to the Argus, is adopted,
that paper calls it
