Some people do not yet clearly under
stand what has been decided rs to com
mutation and exemption. 1t is still be-
lieved by certain class, who have been
imposed upon by disintercsted parties,
that the payment Of three hundred dol
lars Communication only exemp,s ian
from the present draft. The Provost
Marshal General has decided the ques-
ton over and over again that the pay
ment Of $500 does exempt the man pay
ing it for three ysdrs, an now the Presi-
dent, the Commauder-in-C Chief Of the
army and navy, has given his decision
upon it. In recent letter Col. Fry
says:
"Ihe President has ordered at ev.
cry citizen who hss paid the $500 com
mutation stall receive the same credit
therefore as if he had furnished sub.
stitute, and is exonerated from the mill
tary service for the time for which he
was drafted to. Wit: tor three years."
This makes the matter perfectly clear
to every intelligent person who can un-
derstacd the Engli b language and wish
es to be convinced. And While there
is no further doubt as to getting clear by
paying the Communication money, we con.
ce,ve that 1t is every mans duty to fur
nish good and able-bodied substitute,
instead Of taking advantage of the three
hundred dollar clause Of the law. While
We do not like to hear Of substitute bro
kers trying to persuade drafted men
that it is not certain about their being
exempt 70, three years by the payment
oftnree hundred dollars, we still think
they are doing good service to the
country in furnishing men for tho army.
The government wants men instead Of

Rebuklng War DemOc ats.

The New York Eucning Post reads
the "War Democrats" who lately as
sembled in caucus at Chicago, and put
forth presidential platform, a severe
lecture for failing to perform the duty
expected of them. 1t is qnite evident
the managers of the Chicago affair have
grievously disappointed The Republicans,
who have been looking for their aid
The Post says, "The Convention Of
war Democrats has brought forth very
mongrel and puny litter of resolutions =
indeed, 1t regards the action had as
quite Copperheadish, which will, Of
course, be very comforting to Gen Nc
Cle.nand and the other managers.-
Speaking of the resolutions, our New
York contemporary thus observes
"When they proceed to maunder
about the dismissal OF the negroes from
the military service after the war; when
they advise the deportation Of numer-
Gus and almost iudspt nsable body OF
black laborers from our shores; when
ey steadily refrain, at the same time,
from saying anything about the bideous
abuses of slavery, aud the utter incom-
pat bility OF that evil with the peaceful
and prosperous continuance OF free in
sttutions, they shi,k the real issues of
the day-they abandon their cause. and
sink the inspirations of genuine democ-
racy in the spurious indictments Of the
caucus and the tap ROOM"

DEsERrERs IN CANADA.-The New
bnryport Herald says that, from letters
from Canada, and from men who have
recently visited there, it has received in
fora alton that there are nj least forty
thousand men in the British provinces
who have served from six months to a
year and halt in our armies. Some
were broken dosn iu spirits and health
bv the ha'dships OF war some suffered
iil-treatment from drunken or brutal off.
GERS; more of them, having sick fur
loughs, or liberty TO visit their homes,
overstayed their time, aud feared to 90
back. Most of them would now gladly
return to their duty. if they could be as
eured that they could do so without be-
ing exposed TO the terrors of court
martial aud punishment. The Herald
thinks proclamation to this effect by
the President would restore at least 90
600 of them to their regiments before
the lst of January.

Armed Denominations.

The public will naturally be interested
IN the proposed formation Of military com>
panies in this city, and will desire to know
to what end the movement tends. So far
as its aims at present transpire, there Eeerns
to be determined disposition to irritate
that portion OF our people who are liable 10
the draft into demonstra tiops which thew
could DO forced to by no other provocat;on.
When Union Leagues make q deliberate
purpose of arming, and citisens' meetings
are held for the formation of military cum
paniea, in which the presence of reporters
Of democratic papers are not tolerated. there
is abundant cauPe to suspect reasonable
motives. We have no reason to fear Union
Leagues. even with arms 10 their hands
for they are as harmless as sucking doves:
neither do We anticipate any very ssncuiu-
airy feats Of valor ut the hands of etrictIy
abolition military organizations but we do
have reason to fear the effect of such action
upon the people at large as the open arm
ing Of partisan associations with q view
to arbitrarily controlling the action of DO
litical opponents. There never was Iess
need of military force in Chicago than to.
day, and yet if these meuaciug prepare
tions are continued, none can apever for
the consequences, for they will arouse a
spirit OF arimosity which cannot be check ed
30 long as these people see these implied
threats IN the hands of their oppOnents.-
Divested Of its partisan character, the &C.
ton would be deemed simply a weak and
vsinglorious movement. designed more for
vain display than for utility; but as a
purely abolition plot for undetermined pur
poses, batched 10 secret and fearful of hon.
est criticism, it becomes simply an incen-
diary torch in the hands of fools. The
weaklings who indulge 10 this pastime of
provoking public opinion are straws 10 the
path Of the whirlwind, and TO their sorrow
they may yet realise it.
Itrests with the men of position and in
huence in this and ell other large commu.
mites whether We have to have trouble or
quiet We do not hold thr thoughtIess
and frivolous youugerlings who mako Up
the ranks OF this movement responsible,
for they are led by the nose by few recks
less demagogues, some Of whom displayed
their drunken antics 10 the midnight dem.
onstration ct the attempted suppression of
this paper; bat We do not look to The dis
Greet and more eober-miDded of the party

the growing danger. The democracy of
Chicago will not stand still and see daily
menace Haunted in their faces They
would be. less than men did: thew 40 40

The correspondence is Sufficiently explio>

our contempt for the parties in this plot,

to throw them out of employ, without any
