in fact we know, that contemporaries at distance
are greatly mistaken in supposng that. many OF them
will leave through the blockade. The orders on that
head altogether too stringent and their enforcement
here too strict to permit that game being carried
In fact we do not think that Baron KONG " is
not the only party who feels aggrieved by General

that officer has not indeed made enemies among
those who had made arrangements leave the country

Substitutes and Exemptions.

$50 far SIS We have heard from troops in the army
OF Northern Virginia, the feeling in regard to putting
in the prnc of substitutes is universally and strong
y for that measure This is due less to any calculation
upon the subject so far knowledge of it's necessity
for filling up the ranks is concerned, than from belief
that men have hired substitutes that they themselves
might speculate and thus take advantage of the
sites of soldiers ard their families That this is 80 in
too many cases. cannot fear, be truthully denied
To say that it is in oH would be to 60 too far all
ulquahhed denuncations or sweeping assertions are
apt to do While we ayr ee with the general sentiment
that things have turned cut it s unfortunate that
the substitute laws were enacted at ALL feel convinc
ed that there haze been cases in which they have ope
rated benehcay to the community; and II they could
be confined to these would still operate benefcisly.
The matter OF exemptions does not appear to be 80
generally decided upon among the soldiers ia the field
They all know that the Railroads must be kept up
that this as much military necessity the putting
of men in the field, for without them armie7 could
neither be moved supplied They all knew that to
make the supplies which the roads transport the in
dustry of the country must go They all know that
We are greatly deficient in skilled labor. These
slderations must be apparent to all men of common
sense. The true ground is that no exemption
should be granted personal favor, but simply
upon the ground that the person left out
of the army is of benefit to the country out of the
ranks than in them Congress, after ALL will probably
pass some exemption law. 1t is simply question whe
ther Congress shall define the grounds and limits OF
empon, leave them to be defined by the Executive
In either case, shall not call in question the motives
OF Congress- for arguments may be brought forward in
support of either course but it seems to us that the
sentiment of the country would favor the mode by COZ
gfessiona enactments rather than by Executive rega
laton.
