their revolt" And he added: All through the

WASHINGTON, July lc-l0 =. VI.
The following are the facts in relation the
Presidents proclamation of this afternoon, call
ing for hall a million more troops 80 far as
have been able to- ascertain them. The subject
OF such a proclamation has been uuder discussion
at the White House (but not at Cabine, meet
Ings. for there sucn meetings.) Cor a
month past. IL began 10 be discussed among
the Presidents advisers Immediately after
Grants great repulse before Petersburg on the
10th. 18th and 18th OF June. Almost all whom
the President consulted. advised him to order n
draft at once. The President himself Is con.
WINGED that be will Get troops in no other way.
and that a draft will be eventually necessary
and he would have ordered draft at once but
for the fact that such an act ON his part would be
fatal To his reelection. Fer this reason, al
though il Is stated in the proclamation that the
draft will take place bext September, vet no
draft will take place either IN that month or Oc-
tober. In November however, Immediately
after the election the draft will be ordered: and
it will be 50 arranged that none Of those drafted
shall escape.
Ii has been openly said to day on the Avenue.
bv the Presidents particular friends, that Mr.
Lincoln knew all about the recen: movement of
the Confederate army toward the North three
weeks ago. and that he RETAINED from making
the call then. in order that be might not have to

LITERARY NOTICES

TmR DEVOTED BRIDE. By St. George Tucker
Philadelphia I. b. Peterson & Brothers, No
306 Chesnut street.
This is a story Of several lives in the "Old Do.
minion." The heroine is of that Huguenot-like
cavalier blood, which coursed through the veins
of the noble early settlers of Eastern Virginia
The tale is admirably narrated, and here and
there VIC observe historical catches, which take
us back to our boyhood on the Peninsula II Is
a story of love among those who fed the flame
with biNalric ardOr, and the nOblest principles,
before the race became Of corrupt politics, and
ok on q nature poisoned and soured by ambi-
ton. This is a novel which, in perusal, will re-
mind US Of the day Of Virgma's prime, in Il de-
lghtful narrative Of real life aud make us forget,
for little while, at least, this civil war of ours.
We heartily commend the book In every way,
and hope Il may be well received.

determination. The present Administration
are committed 70 that work, aud We believe
that The people are also. The Democratic
party, on the other hand, are for peace on the
basis Of the Union, if possible; aud If not
possible, then for peace anyhow. This, at
least, is the presumption which is warranted
by their studied reticence in respect to a re-
newal Of the war, in case negotiations for
peace, with the Union preserved, should fail
aud no candidate for the Presidency who con
sents to stand on such platform, Is worthy OF
the sufirages Of a loyal people.

have cause TO be hopeful. We are moving a, last
to great and decisive events. The confidence Of
the people is Frightening, and VIC are proud 10
announce that our armies are being reinforced at
the rate Of nearly four thousand men per day. II
this tide Is kept up for short time we shall soon
see the end Of the Rebellion, and we shall have
peace worthy of the Republic. This Is the last
campaign Of our civil war. Let us make IL not
only the most glorious, but impressive IN moral
effect abroad, of any in which Americans have
been engaged.
Money Is now being offered freely 10 the Gov
ernment, and men are tnlistiug rapidly. The war
power will soon be regenerated, and then we will
have right to expect substantial victories at the
hands of our Generals.

Scene on the Ohio.

Our boat stopped to take in wood. On
the shore, among the crowd, was a re-
markably stupid looking fellow, with his
hands in his pockets and his upper lip
hanging down.
A dandy, ripe for scrape, mods and
winks at all around saying, "Now I'll
have some fun; Pllfrightcn the greenhorn.''
He jumped ashore with large drawn
"Bowie," brandishing it in the face of
the "green 'un" exclaiming-
"Now I'll punish yor-lvo been look
ing for you a week"
The fellow stared stupidity at his as
sailant lie evidently did not know enough
to be scared; but as the Bowie knife came
near his face, one of his huge fists sud
denly vacated his pockets aud fell hard
and heavy between the dandy's eyes, and
the poor fellow was foundering in the
Ohio.
Greeny then jumped on board our
boat, put his hands in his pockets, and
looking around, said:

been looking for me weck'|'
