EaP It should be understood that the
statement made in some papers to the
effect that the government expects the
late call for troops to be filled by vofun-
teering is untrue, as is also the addition
al statement that there will be no draft,
even if the call is not filled by volun-
teering. The War Department is
making all preparations for the draft
wherever it is needed, and in fact the
authorities of at least one or two States
are doing very little to encourage volun-
teering, claiming that it is better at this
state of the war to draft. On the other
hand, reports show that in some sections
quotas are being rapidly reduced by en-
listments. 1t is we'll known that the
terms of service of some thousands of
our troops expire this summer.

Plain Questions for Honest People,
Under this caption the Washington
Uowa) Democrat propounds the follow
ing questions, to each of which we ap-
pend an answer:
"Have you ever known Democrat to
justify a violation of the Constitution ?'
Yes; Amos Kendall and host of
others, when they justified the arbitra-
ry confiscation and destruction of mail
matter by Southern postmasters.
" Have you ever known stamp act
enacted under Democratic Admins
tration ?''
Yes; the California Passenger Stamp
Act.
"Haveyou ever knowna conscription
law to be passed under Democratic ad-
ministration ?''
Yes; under the administration dur
ing the war of 1872, when many were
drafted into the service.
"Have you ever known the time, ex-
cept the present, when a citizen could
be incarcerated in a dungeon without
the authority of law ~
Yes; many times, when in the South,
many citizens of the United States were
not only confined in dungeons, but
hung, or tarred and feathered, without
the authority of law"
Have you ever known Democratic
President to suspend the writ of habeds
corpus ?"
Yes; General Jackson. To be sure, it
was before he was President, but that
suspension of the hdbeds corpus was
what made him a Democratic President,
and Democratic Congress afterwards
justified the act.
Have you, before this, known time
the civil power?"
Yes; during the last war with Great
Britain.
"Have you ever known citizen to be
sent into Punishment and exile under
Democratic rule?"
Yes; Underwood and scores of others,
citizens of that State, were eXiled from
Virginia when it was under Democratic
rule.
"Have YOU ever known an admins
tration in opposition to the Democracy
to leave the affairs of the country in as
flourishing condition as it found
them ?' ..-tt
Yes; Fillmore's administration left
the financial affairs of the country in a
much better condition than it found
them, and Buchanan's Democratic in
a much worse condition.

lshmaeI Day, the old LOyalist, who
Shot a Rebel.


From the Baltimore American.
We had the pleasure this morning of
an interview with Mr.. Ishmael Dav.
who yesterday morning shot down one
of Harry Gillmor's men while in the
act OF taking down the flag over his
gate, in Hartford county. He gives the
following correct statement:
ION Sunday night we had heard that
a party of rebels were encamped in the
vicinity, but did not give credence to
the report. Early on Monday morning
one OF his negroes reported to him that
they were coming down the road. He
Immediately hoisted the flag over the
gate, and shortly after two armed men
came riding along the road, and on see
ing the flag burst out into loud laugh,
one of them advancing and seizing the
halliards. The old gentleman, who is
nearly seventy-three yeras of age, ran
into the house, threatening to shoot
them if they did not desist They paid
no attention to him, but the halliards
being twisted, they had some difficulty
in getting it down. By this time he
had reached the second story, where his
guns We're, and raising the window, fired
a load from his duck gun, just as the
miscreant had succeeded in getting hold
of the flag, and he fell back on the road,
and he thinks mortally wounded, the
whole load having entered his breast.
Selling another gun and loaded
Colts revolver, he came down stairs
and endeavOred to get shot at the
other, but he had run up the road. He
then, in his anger, levelefat the wound
ed man, but he begged for mercy, and
Mr.. Day, thinking he would never haul
down another flag, left him lying on
the road. Hearing the approach of a
large squad, he escaped, with his weap-
ons, to the woods, and eluded their
pursuit.
Mrs. Day was still in the house when
the rebels came up, and they immediate
ly commenced plundering it of such
articles as they took fancy to, and
then set fire to it, as well as his barn,
which were entirely destroyed. They
did not allow Mrs. Day to save even
her clothing, and he fears that some
twenty-three hundred dollars of Govern
ment bonds were destroyed, with his
deeds and papers. He has not yet seen
Mrs. Day, who found refuge for herself
and family in one of the neighbor's
houses. The only regret of the gallant
old patriot is that he did not get shot
at the other rebel.

Terrible RaiIrosd Accident.

Forty.foaw Rebel Prisoners and Sirteem
Union Soldiers Killed, and 12O IN
.j1red.
The collision upon the Erie Railway
on Friday last, near the Shohola Station,
between Port Jarvis and Lackawaxen
Junction, resulted in the killing of
forty-four rebel prisoners and sixteen
Union soldiers, and in wounding one
hundred and twenty.
The accident happened upon a por-
ton of the road which runs along the
valley of the Delaware, where the curves
are sharp and frequent. The prisoners
were on their way from Point Lookout
to Elmira, N. Y, and were under guard
Of 125 Union soldiers.
The train numbered eighteen emil
grant cars and was running at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour. The first
car was demolished, and out of it's thir-
ty-seven passengers, thirty-six were
killed. Three cars were demolished
and seven or eight badly broken. At
each door were two Union soldiers as
guard, and these, in the cars broken,
were all killed.
The scene is described as most appall-
ing, the road blocked up with debris,
car piled upon car in the most indes-
cribable confusion, the bodies of those
thrown from them covering the road at
every step, the flying dust and binding
smoke from the quenching fires, the
noise of the escaping steam, and above
all, the fearful groans and heartrending
cries of the injured and expiring, will
never be forgotten. Some of the corpses
were shockingly mutilated; heads
crushed, bodies transixed, impaled on
timber or iron rods, or smashed between
the cOlliding beams, while one man was
discovered dead sitting on the top of
the upturned tender in grotesque and
CHASTITY mockery to the scene around
him.
When the cries of the last wounded
had directed the searchers to his place
of imprisonment, and the last corps re-
moved to it's temporary tomb, it was
found that the victims numbered Is
Union men and A rebels, dead, while
the wounded numbered about 12O, some
of them wounded mortally.
The track at the place where the acci-
dent occurred is a single one, and is run
" by telegraph" The colliding train
was a coal train, that came on the main
road at LackawaXen, where the conduc-
tor inquired of the telegraph operator if
the track was clear, and received for
answer that all trains that were due had
passed. The conductor of the coal train
then proceeded towards New York, and
collided with the train of rebel prison.
ers, at a point where there is sharp
curve.
