fully corrected list, Of persons drafted for
this county on the 29th and Both Sept This
will be q sad list to many household -
and will be read with awful anxiety and tear
full eyes by hundreds of helpless dependent
fathers, mothers brothers, sisters, wives and
children. In it, they will see poverty
de,tituton want and suffering In it they
will feel the pinching Winds and chilly
storms Of winter searching their very bones,
TO the marrow, In it, they will see fields of
strife and blood-the bleeding, quivering
wounded, the CHASTITY dead and all hat long
train of sorrowS, sufferrngs and deprivation 8
endured by widowed mothers and orpha ne d
children. Would to God, that they could
bring TO their imagnations a picture with

can hardly be conceived.

For the twentieth time since ibis civil war
commenced. Rep66lican politicians are Ratt ter.
ing the people with the idea, that the rebel
lion is early ready ocoftspse. Gen. Grant
is made to say that the South have " robbed
the cradle and the grave" to fill their armies,
nd that we need only 100 900 more to give
the finishing blow. 'Aad then, too, we are
told that the rebel soldiers are desertiug by
scores and hundreds, and that the army itself
is becoming denoraIlzed. = Z II < = f
We have heard these and similar stories
quite too often to feel the slightest elation,
when now just on the eve of another election,
they are brought forward as political, capital
to sustain sinking cause. No campaign OF
the war has been conducted so vigorously on
the part of the Confederatsa no t he present
Gen. Grant will be hardly willing to admit
that the army which confronted and baff1 ed
him In all his bloody march from the Rapi
dan to the James, was composed o old men
and boys. Should we fatter ourselves, that
we are now in the last struggle OF the war if
the present policy is continued, we are simply
preparing ourselves for another bitter dlsap-
po intment. 1t 10 the part of wisdom look
the difficulties of our situation full in the
face. ........

that it is none the less important that we have
change of Admins tration. If the military
power of the confed0racy shall be broken
down, that by no means restores the Union,
even, or brings to US peace. Mr.. Lincoln as
condition of peace, demands not only the
disbanding of the rebel armies, but also the
abandonment of slavery, Should be bs re
elected, it would be the declaration of the
people Of the North that we will not accept
peace on any terms save those prescribed by
Mr.. Lincoln in his " to whom it may concern"

will ever sue for peace on those terms Can
Mr., Lincoln, with half the people of the nor

w ordH of Gay.

In reviewing the utterances Of our states
men of the last generation. we are struck
with admiration at the wonderful sagacty ,al-
most approaching inspiration, which enabled
them to predict the events which have actual
ly lransplred in our day, The following from
speech of Henry Clay is remarkable in
stance There are words Of wisdom IN the
extract which every cltisen would do well to
ponder -
"If the abolitionists succeed in their pr es.
eat effort to unite the inhabitants of the free
states against the inhabitants of the slave
states-unon on the one side will beget un-
ion on the other-and this process of reclp
rocal consolidation will be attended with all
the violent prejudices, embittered passions,
and implacabe animosities which ever degrar
ded or deformed human nature. virtual
dissolution OF the Union wil have taken
place, whilst the forms of its existence re-
main. The most valuable element of Union
artual kindness, feelings of sympathy, and
the fraternal bonds which formerly united
you, win have been extIngushed forever
One section will stand in menacing aud hos
tile array against the other. The collision
OF opinion will be quickly followed by the
clash Of arms" '"
Il will not attempt to describe scenes
which now hsprily lie concealed from your
view. Even the aboltionists themselves
would shrink back in dismay and horror at
the contemplation of desoluted fields, canfa-
grated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the
overthrow of tn fairest fabric of human gov
eminent that ever rose TO animate the hopes
of civilized man, ..5 .a-
Union on the one side will beget Unicn
on the other.' a o.. t2 as
" The most valuable element of Union,
mutual kindness, feelings of sympathy, and
the fratcrnal bonds which formerly united
you will have been extinguished forever"
This is common sense view of human ma
ture, quite bayond the comprehension of the
leaders of the Republican party. .-.

TIE IDOL OF THE ARMY.-While in CON-
mand of the army of The Potomac, Mcclellan
devoted himself TO the care and d discipline Of

of our other generals, he held the heart of
the army. His spirit inspired every mar, and
all were ready to follow wherever he might
lead. -"." 80 s,f .'
Gen. Mcclellan would never have allowed
$4,000 brave boys to !anguish for weary
months in rebel prisons, where they Perish at

MODERN DEMOCRACY FOR
DISUNI0N.iq7 n3ql -

Il is about tim that every honest
Democrat-we mean the rank and
file of the party should determine
whether he-is for the Union as ut u.s.
or not. Ifthere is any honest man
who loves his country and hopes and
desires to see this wicked rebellion
of slave holders suppressed, he is as
much out of place in the present
Democratic party, as Union men are
in the rebel army. y ! liSias $50 q
No we'll informed citizen, honest
IN his political principles. loving his
country, or desiring toss see the bes.
Government in the world perpetua-
ted, and the integrity Of the Union
made by our fathers preserved, for
any reason. without regard to any
ideas of patriotism,-we say no such
one can act with the present Democ-
racy. .t. ir -,.Fe7 -lH tsa.I i-,Hr
The active leaders of the Demo
cratic party of the present day are
for disunion. They hope the rebel
lion viii succeed. and therefore, they
cry peace when they can offer no ba-
sis on which peace can be made, ex-
cept on the basis of divided Union.
They know that rebels do not desire
peace on any other terms. The cry
for peace has never had any other
meaning than a dissolution of the
Union. Compromise with rebels
would not be accepted ON any other
basis-it has been tried and refused.
This position of the leaders of the
present Democratic party is easily
established, 1t is the position of
Long, of Cincinnati most clearly sta
ted in Congress, and endorsed by
leading Democrats North, as well as
by the rebels South. The Crisis of
Columbus, and the Enquirer of Gin
cinnati, the leading Democratic pa
pers of Ohio, endorse it, and the Day
ton Empire Vallandigham's home
organ, comes out squarely in favor
of Longs reasonable utterances in
regard to the war and the Southern
Confederacy. On the 7th inst. it
said, that 1.-The Hon. Alexander Long,
after his great speech, was almost over
lwhelmed with letters from ALL parts
of the country, CONCENTRATING him
on the position he took so brdUeiy and
defended so ,OeH." 1t then publishes

York, and the other from Massachu-
setts, as follows:
