sE- General James G Rice, who fell
10 the 5locdy battle of the Wilderness,
and whose last request was that he might
be turned so as TO die with his face to
the enemy, wrote letter to Whittier, the
poet, just at the opening of the campaign,
in which he said +:
"Wilh Gods blessing, this will be the
last campaign which will end this foul
revolt and give freedom to every slave,
it has within Gods wise purposes, re-
quired just SO much delay-just SO m1ca
defeats-just so much sacrifices of life,
to prepare this country for cheerful ac-
quiesence to His wili-namely, Enan-
cipation. May We not Low hope, His
great purposes having been so nearly ac-
complished, that victory will soon crowd
our arms, aud peace again bless our be-
loved land"

Josh Billings ON Drafting.

There are some nice points in drafting
operations which are extensively dis
cussed in interested circles. The most
lucid explanation Of a few of these is Civ
en- by Josh Billings:
Widdor wlmmIn, and their only son is
zempt, provided the widdor's husband
has already sarved 2 years in the war
and IL willing to agin; i believe the su-
preme corte has decided this thing for
ever.
One more: If man should run
away with his draft, he probably wouldn't
ever be allowed to stand the draft agin /;
this looks severe at fust site but the more
you locke at it, the more you can see the
wisdom into it.
Once morely: Xempts are those who
have beer drafted into the sta;t prizzeu
for triing to get an honest living bi sup
porting 2 wives at once also, all them
people who are crazee and unsound on
the goose; also nusepaper correspondents
and fools in gineral.
Once morely agin: No substitute
will be aoksepted who is less than three
or mere than ten feet high; be must
kno how to chaw tobacker and drink poor
ghiskee, and mustn't be afeered of the
itch nor the rebels. Moral caracter amt
required, as the government furnishes
that and rashuns.
COnclusiyely: No person can be
drafted but twice iu two different places
without his consent; bat all men has a
right to be drafted at least oust; don't
think even writ Of habeas corpus could
deprive a man of this last blessed priv
ilege.

Rebel Bullets and COprerhead
Ballots.

The following, from the Atlanta (Geor-
gia) Register, must be cheering to our
Northern Copperheads. It shows them
that their part in the work Of destroying
the Union is appreciated by their rebel
allies
Ex-President Pierce, Seymour Of Con-
necticut, Vallaudig ham, Reed, Wood,
Richardson, and hundreds of others, are
as hostile to the war as they are to black
republicanism. These men are doing us
an indirect service. They are not openly
aud avowedly our friends, nor could We
reasonably ask this of them. But they
are not our bloody enemies. United
against Mr. Lincoln and his uiticked
policy, breasting the power of an over
whslniirg majority, firm to the traditions
and precedents of constitutional liberty,
the roble band of patriots is striving to
erect breakwater that shall arrest the
.surges of the unloosed deluged. IF they
did no more than resist the Capitalization
OF Mr. Lincoln, that far they are worthy
of our respect aud sympathy. If they
hold up the banner of Statcs rights. that
far they are advocating a sentiment enti.
tied to our admiration.
Such is the course they are pursuing;
and such course ought to have our cordial
appreciation Step By step the same con-
Tictions and the same temper that hays
braced them III compact unity and fiery
valor to denouuce ultra federalism aud
New England fanaticism, will inevitably
bring them upon the right ground a, it
respects our independence. We confess
oug faith in our political principles. We
coafess our confidence that eventually
these men will see the whole truth aud
embrace all It's conclusions.
We can gain nothing by denoaucing
them. We may lose much by presenting
a hostile front to their peace movements.
Live with them under the same govern
ment we never will. But, neanschile,
y they lgiH use tie ballot boz against
4lr. Lincoln, acbilst zee use the cartridge
boI, each side ,ciU be helper to the 9TH
er, and Goh cooperate it accomplishing
