"oUT OF THE FRYING PAN, " ETc.-There
had been no draft in Illinois since the war
commenced; but something more than a
year since there was prospect that there
might be one, and large number of weak
kneed patriots Immediately attempted to
skedaddle to Canada to avoid being caught
The railroad trains could not carry them on
account OF the vigilance of the officers, but
large number attempted to escape down the
lake on steamer. The steamer was over
hauled before she was out of sight of Chica-
go, and brought back, and the stockholders
were impressed to do service about Camp
Douglas until the question Of draft or no
draft was decided. They remained doing
mental service around camp for some six
months before the matter was decided, and
then change came, no draft being found
necessary after all. The Marylanders in
Richmond are still worse off, for the Rich
mond Examiner says the conscription is to
be enforced at the rebel capital, so as to draw
in these very Marylanders, many of whom
ran away from their own State to escape the
draft ordered by our Government.

AN UNANswERABLE ARGUMENr.-A day
or two since French sympathizer with Sc
cession was holding forth on the miserable
condition Of our country, and the almost
utter worthlessness of our national currency;
a state of affairs which he eXultIngly declared
could never come to pass in ErNnce-what-
ever the Bank of France paid out was always
worth its face, etc. A gentleman who had
listened for some time to this stream Of non
sense put sudden stopper on its flow by
drawing from his pocket-book bill for five
hundred francs, issued, as expressed on its
face, under "the law of the 2Sth of March,
of the 4th year of the Republic" and asked
the glori6er of " IN belle France how much
he would give for that, and make the pay
ment in greenbacks This style Of argument
was unanswerable, and worth all the mere
words which could have been poured out on
the subject in six months.

ABUSE on PASSENGER SrEAMERs.-We
spoke few days ago, on the authority of our
Consul at Aspinwall, concerning certain
gross abuses practised upon the Vanderbilt
line of steamers, to remedy and prevent
which bill is now before Congress. The
Consul specified the Champion as an exam
pie, and to corroborate his official evidence,
as well as to show that the abuses complained
Of are the rule and not the exception, we have
the testimony of passengers who came re-
Gently BY the Champion. These gentlemen
speak in high terms of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company'S steamer in which they
travelled from San Francisco. The accom-
modations were excellent, the food and at
tendance unexceptionable, and the boat clean
and tidy. When they got on board the
Champion all this was changed. The vessel
was dirty, the state-roomS filthy, the linen on
the beds had not been changed since they
had last been slept in. The table linen was
also filthy, the knives and forks unit to use /;
and to serve the table at dinner the toilet
tumblers were taken by the walters from the
state-rooms and placed upon the table. As
for the food served, it was, according to the
testimony, unfit to eat. The meat was
tainted, as also the poultry, and the food in
general was of such quality that passengers
actually suffered. This was the condition Of
things in the cabin. Our informants say
they did not venture into the steerage, where
it looked even worse than in the cabin. 1t
cannot be said that this state OF things hap
pened by reason of an unusual number of
passengers being on board, for there were
only two hundred and nifty in the vessel. The
bill now before Congress, further to regu-
late the carriage of passengers in steamships
and other vessels" will, we are assured,
remedy some of the evils now complained of.
But passengers who suffer should make pub
lie their wrongs. In this way public opinion
will be brought to bear upon the proprietors
Of steamship lines who take the money of the
people and violate their engagements.-N. y.

LETTER FROM RICHARD CoBDBN.-The
Philadelphia Press publishes the following
letter from Golden, addressed to gentleman
in Philadelphia: We are looking anxiously
for the news from your side Of the next
campaign. For myself have nevey consid-
cred that the result of your terrible civil war
was to be decided BY fighting alone. It is
the organization of the South, through the
operation of the war on the African race,
that have always regarded as the real
source of the weakness and danger of the
Confederates. But for this cause to have
full effect requires time. During the time l
fear YOU will be mourning an enormous ex-
penditure and accumulating terrible deot.
This is not all am afraid, while the Gov
eminent is necessarily spending vast sums,
your citizens are individually giving way to
extravagant private habits. This is lighting
the candle at both ends. II perseyered in, it
will lead you to terrible financial difficulties.
The only way in which you can continue to
furnish extraordinary supplies to the Govern
ment, is BY the rigid practice Of economy on
the part of individuals. Let every patriot
preach this truth to the people. have full
faith in the ultimate triumph of your cause,
bacause it is the cause Of justice, civilization
and humanity.

COOP INTENT CONFERENCE.-The Good
Intent Hook and Ladder Company have had
made to order a splendid case of beautiful
and serviceable articles, suitable for a major
general. The chest is made Of mahogany,
and firmly bound with brass. The interior
is well packed with articles Of glass and sill
yer, consisting of complete set for break
fast, dinner, tea or lunch, and cooking uten-
sis to suit. Besides, there are razors, brush
es, looking-glasses, cigar cases, books, and
various other articles of handsome workman
ship, such as plates, soup-dish, knives and
forks, etc. The value of the silver, without
the premium, is $50. The members of the
Good Intent will present this to the q. S.
Sanitary Fair. The largest amount Of money
subscribed to it in the name of any general
in the U. S. army, will entitle the said gem
eral to receive the chest as present. 1t is
one of the most complete articles of the kind
that could possibly be produced by genius.
There are no less than five secret drawers in
each end, which the inventor will explain
to the successful general to whom it may be
presented.-Forney's Press.

RECoSsrRrCTIoS.-The Copperhead press
will set I'D terrible howl over the plan
adopted By the President and Congress for
the reconstruction of the Union. If that
nress howl right heartily, we shall be salts
ned that Justice is being meted the rebels,
and tina, the Territorial plan is the best that
could be adopted. Slavery is abolished
under this plan of reconstruction, as no
rebel State can be admitted into the Union
until adopting an anti-slayery Constitution.
Here's where the shoe pincheS the Copper
heads, squeezing their toes harder than the
Secessionists themselves. The plan adopts
the military system OfrestoratlOn, and carries
with it the principal of coercion and complete
subiugation. The rebels cannot complain ut
the issue made by themselves. They declare
thew will not return 70 the Union unless CO.
creed. and the Government purposes to COM
pel them, by force Of arms, to come back,
and when in again, intends 10 keep them
there by the some power, until they are sat
isGed to remain Of their own choice. This
sort OF doctrine the Copperheads do not like;
ssopteading that the rebels have the right to
nght out Of the Union, and the Government
no right to fight them in. The people cannot
see the logic OF such an argument, and Will
stand by the Government. We are SATISFIED
with the Presidents reconstruction plan, and
shall also be well pleased TO hear the Copper
heads again growl over the tyranny OF the
Lincoln Administration.-APpeGS.

A SAVING M1LL.-According to the deci-
NAL currency, it takes ten mills to make one
cent. They have one mill, and the Union
mill at that, over in the Reese River region,
which makes-well, the sequel shows how
many cents" to the ton. The Morgan and
Muncey Mining Company are sending rock,
promiscuously, as it comes out of the mine,
to the Union Mill. From twenty-five tons
of this rock, thirteen assays were made by
the parties owning claim. These averaged
SAIL IS to the ton. The mill gives, as the
result Of their working, S4ll, showing loss
of only eighteen cents per ton. This is GER
tainly the mos. extraordinary saving" in
working ore we have ever heard or read of.

STEERING SHIPS BY TELEGRAPH!-A
method of steering ships by telegraph has
been recently invented. The apparatus ap-
pears extremely simple. There is in front Of
the wheel at which the helmsman is stationed
neat stand-plate like sun-diai stand, with
an upright dial-plate, upon which works a
hand or indicator. and this hand IS made
transparent at night by lamp. The otheer
in command has similar dial-plate before
him, connected with the first by wire BY
an ingenious continuance a sharp-souuding
long is struck with every signal, so that the
NAN S attention is called to the dial-plate be-
lore him. The number of strokes directs the
belmsman or the gunner what to do in

thus aaany battles may be gained or lives

A NIGHT ArTAcK.-There il comes-one,
two, three, dozen, hundred shot-a roll,
deep, heavy, prolonged, like the rush OF a
mighty torrent suddenly let loose, How 1t
deepens! 1t like the ripping Of the mower,
swinging his scythe in ripened grass, dried
and scorehed BY summer heat. The great
Reaper is out there upon that field, stalking
unseen between the trenches, walking in
darkness bordered with lightning flashes,
sbowprinp il with leaden rain, making it the
Valley of the Shadow of Death. There are
the cannon. Boom, boom, boom, five ten,
twenty. one hundred discharges minute. A
forest of pines shuts out the sight, but above
the evergreen branches the flashes fame upon
the starry heavens. No artist can picture it,
no language describe it. 1t is terrific, yet
grand and sublime. II makes one nervous
to hear it, stirs the blood, rouses and excites,
to know that the defenders of those works
are holding their ground. You need no tele-
graphic dispatch to assure you Of the fact. A
sudden lull, after a savage cry, would indi-
cate disaster; but there is a cry, the Indian
yell, not the cheer which distinguishes the
charge of the Union troops from that of the
enemy. There Is no cessation of the roar.
1t deepens, rather. The cry, which mo-
ment ago rose sharp and clear above the bat
tie uue, becomes FAINTER. lnere is percep-
tible ebbing of the tide. 1t has been at full
food half hour. You have been two min
utes reading this narrative. How little you
know Of the reality hear it, but have
little conception Of what has taken place. l
shall realize it more fully in the morning
when the ambulance comes in with the
wounded. But to be there, in it, part of It
with blood ut fever heat-with the air full
of strange, terrifying noises, hissings, howl
ings, screenings, Of balls and bullets, and
deafening explosions-all darkness, except
the binding flashes and sheets of flame The
altar of our country drips with blood! 1t is
aSabbath evening sacrifice, pure and precious,
freely offered. Fathers and mothers have
given the firstlings of their focks, with thanks
