Treason Hesitates in New York.

There appears to be some doubt and hesita-
ton among the men in New York city who
proposed to nullify the draft there by paying
the communication money for all the men who
may be drafted. The ordinance of the city
council, appropriating two million and five
hundred thousand dollars for this purpose may
fail of being passed over the mayors veto.
Perhaps these who have favored the measure
Will recover boldness and recklessness enough
to carry it through; but they show some
signs OF hesitation. At any rate there is
feeling among them which emboldens the
New York Herald to reccomend that it be
dropped, and that very different measure be
adopted. The Herald has the courage to 90
so far as to say that it is "a political trap"
that it is 'full of holes as sieve" and that it
can do good. 1t then adds =
LET alderman Hardy's weak concoction be
thrown overheard. therefore, and new ordi-
nance be prepared, offering bounty of three
hundred dollars to every drafted man who
either goes to the war or sends a substitute
Such an ordinance would please all parties.
1t would be as legal as any of the other bounty
ordinances passed by the city government.
The mayor could not veto it without running
his party and relinquIshing all pretensions to
consistency; the poor people would be re-
lieved of the nervousness of the draft, and
finally, the government would be supplied
with men instead of greenbacks, and no col.
hsiOn between the city or state and nationa
authorities could possibly occur"
As the Herald usually guesses rather
shrewdly which side will win, and seldom Sc
riously commits itself on any question touch.
ing the municipal politics of that city until il
feels sure of being on the winning side, We
infer that it now sees and recommends what is
likely to be done. 1t may, however, be mis-
taken The New York copperheads may
snow more recklessness and desperation in
the endeavor to aid their rebels by multiplying
the draft than he cunning time servers of the
Herald suppose; but the terrible riot set in
motion by the copperheads has badly damaged
and scared them. pPerhaps they will do what
the Herald expects.
They may as well join the rebel armies os
aid them by such reasonable ATTEMPTS to
weaken our own. The government aims =,
increase our armies so as to prevent blood
shed and make the war short, by bringin,
against the rebels such an overwhelming fore
as they will not seriously attempt to with
stand. Those who aim to prevent this mus
be SO reasonable as to desire continuanc
OF bloody warfare, in the hope that the gov

Lees Army-Morgan,s Gang.

New YORK, July 2S.-The Worlds Wash
ington special states that advices from the
front to-day, state that the greater portion of
the rebel army has arrived below Culpepper
or on the road leading from Thornton's and
Chester's gaps and is concentrating at that
point. The Rapidan river will probably be
the rebel line of defence, for while at least,
thus protecting the Virginia Central railroad.
A retreat may even go on to the Gordonsville
junction of the Richmond, Alexandria, and
Virginia Central railroads.
The Times Washington special says the
secretary of war has ordered that all the Off
GERS of Morgan'S command captured in Ohio,
including the rebel chiettain himself, shall be
placedin close confinement in the Ohio state
penitentiary, there to remain until the rebel
authorities shall see fit to release the officers
Of Col Straight's command. The statement
that the rebel general officers captured at
Vicksbnrg have already been exchanged is in
correct. The rebels have no national officers
of equal rank to offer in exchange.

spects these volumes are attractive, and those
who have the others will get them. 1t is not
often that ''new novel; is worth reading
twice. Most of this sort are not worth read
ing once; and scarcely one of them will really
be as fresh and attractive as tenth reading
of one of Dickens stories. Therefore, thi,
very handsome and convenient edition of hi,
works ought to find many purchasers.

SUBSTITUTE MUST BE ACCEPTABLE.-A
question having been raised in regard to the
extent of the authority of the board OF enroll.
ment, in the matter of accepting or rejecting
some of the persons that may be presented as

marshal general. The gentleman who COM
municated with him on the subject received
the following answer =
'The enrolment act requires an 'accepta-
bic substitute. You should present one ac-
ceptable to the board of enrolment
The roughs, thieves, and other hard char
acters that appeared here, intending to be paid
as substitutes and then desert and do the same
thing somewhere else, made ii necessary for
the board to be very careful in the matter of
receiving substitutes. 1t was this that raised
the question that was referred to headquar-
tiers. The course of the board of enrolment
is sustained.
