between Baltimore and Washington. Work is pro-
crossing upon the bridge across the Susquehanna,
aud there is a prospect that double-track road,
without any change Of cars, will soon DO provided
between Washington and New.YOrk.
The war in Central America is taking turn
very unfavorable to PRECEDENT Barrios Of San
Salvador. According TO the latest accounts the
troops Of President Carera of Guatemala had taken
Possession OF the whole State except San Salvador,
San Miguel, La Union and La Libertad. Ncara-
guam troops were marching upon San Miguel and
La Union, and tho latter place had already been
abandoned by the troops Of Barrios. Carrera has
appointed Gen. Duenas Provisional President OF
Sau Salvador President Barrios had still with him
about 1000 men in the capital.

their power. They are now doing their ut
most TO render the draft imperative, because
they know its success drives tho last nail into
tho coffin of the Rebellion. They are foment-
ing a rebellion in the North simply as
flank movement " for tho relief of the over
pressed, exhausted Rebels at the South. They
cry "Peace." and take tao only course
whereby the War can be prolonged. But for
them. the country would enjoy perfect aud
lasting Peace very soOn-would have achieved
it long ago. They are earning for themselves
the character of the Revolutionary cowboys,
and will follow them into everlasting lniamy.

WHAT EVIL HATH HE DONE,

In one of the French comedies which pre-
ceded and pioneered the great Revolution. u
Prince who finds himself in possession aud en-
joyment OF every aid to luxury and pomp, hay-
ing done nothing 10 earn or acquire fraction
of it, wonderingy asks his attendant how he
came by such a glorious outfit, and is cour-
teously answered "Your Hghness conde-
defaming the Presiden. of the United States
and seeking to excite Northern in aid Of the
existing Southern Rebellion. were compelled TO
state their real ground Of hostility to him, their
answer must lie, The wretch refuses TO be
depOsed."
The whole incitement 70 their malsvoence
is Just exactly that. Had he consented not to
lave any more Northern soldiers march across
MARYLAND, tie Young Christians Of Baltimore
would have been perfectly satisfied. To be
sure, he would have had to abandon Washing
ton and all its belongings 10 jeff. Davis; but
that was no affair OF theirs. They would
doubtless have gracou.ly allowed him to re-
treat across their State II be had only assured
them that he would never come back.
From that day to this. the real impulse Of
Copperbead malignity toward him has been
his determination and success in dscbarsing
his high responsibilities. Walker, the Rebel
Secretary OF War. in announcing the fall Of
Fort Sumter boosted that they would have
Washington within month. Twenty.
months have since passed, aud they have mt it
yet, aud have not nearly such chance to get
it as they had two years ago. They have not
an acre that they have taken from US sine;
Sumter, while we have taken from them, and
still hold, New.Orleans, Baton Rouge, Nash
vile, Norfolk, Memphis, Vicksburg, Port Hud-
son, aud nearly half their entire Contederacy.
They have never entered the loyal States but
to incur prompt and disastrous defeat. They
have won victories, but tho fruits have turned
to ashes in their grasp. They have taken po-
sitions, but hold none OF them; We took their
chief city, the very heart Of their Confederncy,
fifteen months ago, and they have not yet even
threatened it's recapture. We have wrested
their great river from their hands, cutting
their Confcderacy in twain, yet they seem I'M
able even to attempt its recovery. In short,
they are nearly used up.
Less than year ago. Seymour and his tribe
we're haunting US with the failure of the War.
"Such vast expenditure and cruel sacrifices,
but no resulting success" The Elections OF
last Autumn were mainly carried by the argu-
ment of despair. "What is the use OF talk
ingl Isn't it clear that Lincoln can never put
down the Rebellion 7" But. now that it ia
palpable that he can and will, the Copperhoads
are determined that he must MT and sha'nt.
The whole Of their factious sayings and doings
have this impulse and no other. They in.
weighed for effect against tho i'll success OF the
War; but its subsequent progress drives thom
mad.
So long as the President relied on Volun-
teering, they complained of the inadequacy oil
our forces and asked, "Why don't you
draft" The moment no resorted to drafting
thsy opposed that resort by every mean, 10

DRAFTING.

A correspondent writes to say that, though
a Republican. he is opposed to drafting men
for Military service under AM circumstances.
His alternative would be to pay higher and
still higher wages and bountes TO Volunteers
until men enough were obtained, though their
pay should be so per month. In other words:
he would throw the entire cost Of maintaining
our National existence upon Property. regard
ing Persons, as such, IA having no interest III
the matter.
We are happy to Disagree with him most de-
cidedy. We hold every man bound to con-
tribute, according to his ability, TO the defense
Of ais impered country-and when We speak
of ability, We mean his entire capacity to nd the
National cause, not his property alone. One
man has stout muscles but not dime; another
has million dollars, but is dwarf, invalid or
cripple; third has a perfect and vigorous
body with full purse to boot. According to
our correspondents logic tho frat Of these is
under no obligation whatever to defend his
country against invaders or traitors; he may
fight for her if the Taxpayers will pay him
more money than he can earn elsewhere; but
he is under no obligation to do so. But this is
to make government merely an association
of property holders for mutual protection,
with the necessary deduction that none
but property holders have any business to
vote. But We hold Government to be insti.
