doilars and others emplsy substitutes, ard the /.
substitutes there, Ike tue substitutes hers, are /
worthless, and run epsy.
Il We msg judge from such facts as bsvs
reached rs, I ncoln's pIssfnf draft, even if # /
Proeaed everywhere through tla f3rmaitiRs Of I
execution, vii produce him very l.tle Indeed, !
i tie levy was en- mssse and zl the abl sb sdied

example, tbe feurth Boston District. where, of
lIS5 persons examined, 937 wers exempted, Io8 I
eli red substitutes, and only ten were declared
ft for saty.
An inspection OF the statistics viii sss6rn
the fact developed By the operasioH Of lhe cen-
scription. The population Of Mr.. Lircoln's do
minoas, tie territories excepted is rather under
twenty uIiiliouE.
We hsvs not before Us q classification Of mere

This is, indeed, what the New York Herald L
claimed. OF thass three millions, who could i

Of non-eitzenshiP. Wh0 oan tel how many 4
viii ran swsy to sToid the war; how mslT vii /
many viii pay the patTY price Of exemption 1
We should not shink It wonderful If tha three 4
millions Wsrs 30 dWiBiis 10 one-hsl under the !
operation OF these various circumstances.
BUs Lincoln has already called ous under Bis i
various preolamatiOus, thirissa haudrsd tbou- 4

can count uponl Tha most WBrliks are already 4

The thirteen hundIed thoassnd have melasd

tha vaFisus Whslagss Of var, anal probably
there are not four hundred Thousand mau andsT
arms this day. Nearly q million Of those who
enlisted are Ao7s ds esmbss.
We do not bslisTs that Lincoln win be able
to add SOC, 600 fresh electives to his army He
has alrsady drawn ta0 uesr to ths limit Of bis
reEsurcss. IS 20 fighting men. A state Of feeling
exists smong his people which gill Krsaty in

belief that Lincoln has dsas has iCorsf and that
his lufurs Efforts must be weaker than his past
