B9 The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can says: During the draft in the 18th
Ward, little incident gave rise to much
merriment, and contributed to the good
feeling everywhere manifested about the
conscription.
In the crowd there stood pale-faced
1rishman, with his hands crossed and
arms behind his back. He gazed in
tently as each name was drawn from the
wheel of destiny. He had not been heard
to speak word to anybody Presently
he appeared to be operated upon by some
unseen galvanic battery. During his
spasm he exclaimed in an T sharp tone:
" Wherl it round wherl it round!-
rouse it will We! " shouted the man. He
was evidently full of dread suspense.
What's the matter with your said
the Provost Marshal.
" Oh, be jabers, turn it round a dozen
o times, for that man you drawed last is
my next door neighbor"
AT this point the universal laugh came
in. =

PROTECTING DEsERrERs.-W heard
last night that detachment of the Esd
regiment sent down to some point near
Edinburg, johnson county, to arrest de-
serters met with fierce resistance from
a band of lawless traitors who had forti-
fed themselves in a house, and fight
ensued which cost some four or five of
the outlaws their lives. We did not hear
any other particulars No doubt if so
many were killed, many more were
wounded. The deserters were arrested
and brought safely off Thus the teach
ings of the Vallandigham factions and of
their organ, the Sentinel, are creating
war at home, just as all loyal men pre-
dicted, and as the traitors intended

THE DRAFT.-It is reported that the
draft for this district will commence at
Evansville to-day, and that it is deter
mined TO draw for all the counties at
that point under the superintendent OF
Capt. Blythe Hynes, District Provost
Marshal. Does not the law require the
daft to be made in each county
or sub-district, and to be carried out
publicly? If so, will our Board OF En-
rollment attempt to violate its proVis-
ious?-T iacennes Sun, 4th.

Sun Office, whore great many OF the
canards, having for their object an up
roar among the people, date their birth

it is laboring to excite hostility to the

KENTUCKY ELECTIoN-The Louisville
Democrat feels grum over the result of
the election in Kentucky. 1t has rea-
son to. 1t tried hard to plunge the State
into the vortex of secession, but the
effort was a lamentable failure. The
people would not be led, nor would they
be driven. Both the Democrat and Jour
nal seem to have lost their influence in
great measure with the people of that
State. "Ichabod is written on their
walls. Both of them bitterly opposed
Gen. Green Clay Smith, and he was
elected by the biggest majority of any
candidate in the field. Both were op-
posed to Brutus ]. Clay, and that fact no
doubt contributed largely to the huge
majority the people gave him. The
newspapers of Louisville seem to be
about played out" so far as their in
6uence with the people is concerned.
We copy the lugubrious remarks of the
Democrat over the result Of the election ::
A defeated party usually undertake to
explain why. The election yesterday
needs no explanation. We shall be told
that all the loyal men voted, and the
rest bad no right to vote. That will be
sati sfactory to the faithful, but it will not
tell well for the loyalty of the people Of
Kentucky. We shall, no doubt, be in
formed that it was most peaceable and
orderly election; and so it was. If all
the voters had staid away from the polls,
i would have been more peaeeable still
who has made the best one.
