Toe War "a Continue for Years-Fu-
spre nrafes Already Arranged.

aoa. GrAnt's ofdcr to General Sheridan TO lay
waste The Shenandoah Valley in view of the
contuuknce of the war another year. was pub
lishei yesterday.
From q speech made by Gov. Seymour at
Philadelphia last week. the startling intelligence
is gathered that the administration at Washing
ton are contemplating war for years-not one
year-to come, and have already made arrange
aents by which three years men Of this State are
credited one year On the present draft. one year
on the next draft which is TO recruit the army for
the campaign Of 1865, and one year on still
another draft which can only be required TO re
cruit for the campaign of 1866! Here is the Off
cial statement OF Gov Seymour:
'The men who we're drafted this yepr under
the FIVE hundred thousand call have but one
year to serve. The three years men who were
taken into the army in 1862 will 20 out Of the
service next year. Their terms begin 10 expire
in the spring. In nine months the army will
need the largest additions that have been inside al
any one time. As the administration shrank
from calling for more three years men just be-
fore an election, the places to be vacated by the
one year men must be provided to be filed in
nine months. and thus il IL reasonable 10 believe
that the largest draft that has yet been
made will be ordered at the beginning OF
the year 1865. / do not speak unadvisedly, for
the sd ministration has animated 10 me that they
expect another draft. The State Of New
York had furnished an excess of three year;
men. and | asked that. in making up the quots
Of New York, one three years man should be
counted as equal To three one years men. They
said they could not do that, as they needed mel
Immediately: but they provided that a three
years man should count as one man on TIN:
draft. as one man on the next draft, and rs on,
man again on the third draft, and thus tie mat
ter would be equalized. so il appears from tbi
that We are TO have az least two drafts more
Voice. "That's refreshing y Every man know:
that we must have this further draft. Alter IN,
