The Shoe Pinches.

"New England Clergyman" pro
tests, through the Springfield Republican,
against imposing the burdens of the draft
upon ministers of the gospel. He says:
"If it be true that they are exempt
by the laws Of God, it can not gain the
favor of the God of battles to force His
ambassadors into the ranks of the army.
For myself, l believe that every minister
of Christ forced into the ranks will hinder
the cause more than the loss Of many bat
ties. This is not the question of sect,
or of an over-scrupulous conscience like
that of the Quakers or other non-resis-
tance men. But it is the voice Of the
word of God, plain and direct"
II is n little singular that the voice and
law of God is something that generally
interferes with the habits, institutions and
comforts of almost everybody but aboli-
ton clergymen; at least so they make
out. They have been largely instrument
tai in creating the bad blood and section
al bitterness which led to this wretched
war, but now that il directly affects them
selves, they are very much disgusted, and
sacrlegiously call upon God to save them
from paying the exemption fee. The
minister adds:
"Now / do not mean TO argue this
matter, but | would that we could fec
that the curse Of sacrifice might never rest
upon our cause. There are ministers o.
Christ who will suffer Imprisonment and
death rather than forswear themselves By
taking up the bloody weapons of the war
rior. And they are men, too, who woulc
cheerfully give up their lives, if by tha
sacrifice they might save their country ii
this fearful hour of her trial; they vii
never imbrue their hands in the blood o
their brethren at the command of any
mortal man. God, not the sword, is th'
final arbitrator in this contest; and, being
thus persuaded, would have our natiol
make war rs Christian people"
We have no doubt that this very cler
gyman and his associates, whom he say
will resist the law, were among the mos
virulent denouncers of the Copperhead
and all who have believed an honorabl
peace possible. The conscription act vii
not be without some good results, if
brings home to these people some of tn
horrors and inconvenience of war, an,
recalls TO their minds the forgotten pre-
cepts of that Scripture whose doctrine
they profess to oxpound.- World.

FALLEN.-Monroe Livingston, of Plain
field, Kent County, young man who
truly ranked with the noblest of earth,
with whom many of our citizens had
formed an acquaintance during his brief
sojourn with us, is numbered among the
lamcntcd dead at the recent terrible and
bloody engagement at Falling Waters
lie belonged to the Sixth Mich. Cavalry.
lIo was young, eminently noble and brave
and died greatly beloved and respected by
all who knew him. Great are such sac
rifces, already muItitsdinous, for a dis
tracted and bleeding country. His re-
mains were brought home for intormont.

How IT OPERATEs.-All employed by
Government, in behalf of drafted men, re-
ceive the following allowances in addition
TO the $500 Communication, to wit: 800
Government bounty, already offered; 50
premium for enlistiug, the regular month
ly pay, rations aud clothing ofvolunteers,
during service. In case the whole three
years are to be served-which there can
be no reasonable grounds to expect-the
pay of private, including the bounty,
would amount TO $24 per month. If the
service be for two years, $50 per month
and for only one years service, $4S near
ly per month. Never in the annals of an
cient or modern warfare has q Govern
ment dealt so literally with its soldiery
as the American Government. What
stronger proof can be demanded that onr
resources are unlimited.

A PUZZLED JUsTICE.-A man named
Josh was brought before country squire
for stealing hog, and three witnesses be-
ing examined swore they saw him steal it.
A wag having volunteered as counsel for
Josh, knowing the scope of the squire's
brain, arose and addressed him as follows: !:
May it please your honor, | can estab-
lish this mans honesty beyond the shad,
ow of doubt; for have twelve witness
es ready to swear that they did not see
him steal it." The squire rested his head
for few moments upon his hand, as if
in deep thought, and with great dignity
arose, and brushing back his hair, said,
"If there are twelve who did not see him
steal it, and only three who did, | dis
charge the prisoner"

CHEAP SUBsTITUTEs.-Contrary TO cx-
pectatiOn little difficulty is experienced in
obtaining substitutes, by those who have
drawn prizes in the great draft lottery,
eastward and elsewhere. In Philadelphia
substitutes can easily be obtained for 800
10 $3.50. Eastward, in New England,
substitutes offer themselves at very low
prices, for the obvious reason that drafted
troops are not expected to take the field
before October, and there is little probabiIi-
ty that any severe battles will be fought af-
ter that period, and the drafted troops will
doubtlessly relieve the veterans who are
burning with impatience for active work
in the field, and there are n sufficient num-
Der of troops of that character now doing
garrison duty to swell the forces under
Rosecrans, Grant, Banks and Meade to
the maximum required

MUST TAKE HEED.-The American
Eagle, it seems, is shaking her feathers
threateningly toward the British Lion,
who, while he processes to be on the most
friendly relations with the bird, is seeking
TO devour her young, should they by ac-
cident fall in his way. Otherwise, the
Cabinet, at Washington, have intimated
to Lord John Russell that, however he
may view the matter, in behalf of Johnny
Bull, Brother Jonathan can never consent,
though he is engaged in settling dis
creditable domestic trouble in his own
family, to allow his commercial relations
with all creation TO be disturbed by the
sinking of his ships and seizure of his
brave sailors, by piratical vessels, and
hence, softly intimates TO his trans-At-
lantic cousin that a cdsuS beW is pend
ing, if such ungenerous treatment is to be
sanctioned and persisted in.
We admire the spunk of Brother jon
athan, who, while one hand is engaged
in his endeavors 10 restore peace at home,
the other is at liberty to cnlighton his
for eign relative as TO his duty, and if any
more armed pirates are permitted to prowl
on our commerce all necessary assistance
will be rendered for their removal hence.

The steamer Racine, intended, we are
informed, to run regularly between this
port and Racine, Wisconsin, and forming q

boats of the d. & M. Railway, to Milwau-
kee, by the propeller OtoOa, to Chicago,

Contagious.

Since the deplorable state of affairs
now existing in our country, nationally,
had beginning, revolution, as if conta-
gious, has seized the monarchies of Eu-
rope, and already the flames Of civil war
are carrying destruction, anarchy and
bloodshed TO the very thrones Of despots
with warning that causes the knees of
oppressors to smite together with fear and
trembling. Quickly following the grand
uprising of vassas down-trodden by
Austrian intolerance, Poland breaks the
chains that have bound that noble spirit
ed race for an ago or longer, and once
more, with a spirit and boldness that can
not fail to be needed by tho Czar of Rus
sia, as well as by the other great powers
of Europe, demands speedy redress Of
grievances and expressions long silently
borne, now intolerable, or war to the
DEATH Greece catches the infection, and
civil war now RACES between her citizens
and soldiery, party spirit and love of rule
tanning the flame of hostility and bitter
animosity to degree that blood alone
can allay the strife. Surely we live in
perilous times. Oppressors may take
warning and profit by the scenes now be-
ing enacted in our own and other lands.

Gen. Spinola, commanding the Excel
sior Brigade, with 800 men, was at once
ordered forward The commanding gcn-
eral supposed the rebels were Only IN
small, force on and behind the crest of a
hill, about one mile from the Gap,trtween
it and Fort Royal. and therefore suppos-
ed this brigade was sufficient to dslodge
the enemy. -
About quarter of mile from the
crest of the hill was a stone wall, ana .pe-
hind this was small rebel force. Gen,
Soinola at once took an observation OF the
ground, and after pointing out to his re-
gimental commanders the work they
would have to perform, be ordered his
gallant brigade forward, and with bayo-
nets they rushed forward, when the rebels
quickly fled from the hill, and took rel
uge behind the stone wall. Up to this
Tie brigade rushed also, when from be-
hind it arose whole brigade of Georgl-
ans and two regiments OF North Carolina
sharp-shooters, all under command OF
Gen. Anderson. But our troops needed
them not, and amid shower OF rifle bull
let's ard an artillery fire in front and on
the flank, pushed lol ward. and with the
boyonet drove the robels from their pro
lection, and sent them scampering over
the field. The rebel loss was not less
than 500 killed, wounded and missing
We had no artillery, while the rebels had
at least seventeen pieces.
That night our soldiers bivouacked or
the battle-ground, and the next morning
marched into Front Royal. In this fight
it is the opinion of military men, the re-
bells outuumbered us at least tive to one,
butthsy appeared to be completely tagged
out, and alter being dislodged from the
stone walls, could not move upa hill on
their way, in an upright position, but
clawled on their hands aud knees, tins
giving our men an opportunity of pour
ING in an effective FIRE, of which they ca
gerly availed themselves. In this fight
Gen. Spinon received two very severe
wounds, one in the rioht foot which tore
open the heel for two or three inches,and
one through the Ges by part Of the right
side. ....... .
