The Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post writes as follows
about second draft. The statement
made in this correspondence that the Gov
eminent was about to order new draft is
very generally denied. My information
was obtained from the office of the Pro-
vost Marshal General, and it will proba-
bly, soon be found that the information is
correct Instead of making the draft in
October perhaps it will be postponed six
weeks. There are strong advocates of a
return to volunteering. here, and the War
Department may conclude, after issuing
orders for draft, to give a district cer-
tain period of time in which it is at liber-
ty to fill the quota voluntarily, the govern
ment offering a bounty of three hundred
dollars to all such volunteers.

other draft in this district under the old

is preposterors to suppose that a draft
will be ordered in this district and none in
the others. The facts Of the case seem to
be these In due time the President will
order second draft in all the districts
which have not filled their quota, and none
have done it, and few have come so near
it as this district.

The Atlanta (Go,) Appeal says that
Lieutenant General Pemberton was called
on to make speech some days ago at
village south of that place. There were
present some two thousand of the exchang-
ed Vicksburg prisoners. The General
said that he felt much embarrassment, be- I
cause for the time cloud rested npon him,
and besides he was willing to wait the
authoritative vindication of his character
by competent tribunal. "If, however"
continued the Generl, "dny of those ex-
empts and gentlemen who have substitu 1
ties, and those spectators who have de-
nounced me as a coward and traitor throu- I

themselves into a regiment, brigade, or

soldier or officer from Vicksburg, neither
