II will be seen that we have news from Rich.

the spring campaign. 1t Is evident from the
manifesto Of ,feh. Davis to the rebel army,
which we publish in full. that everything is 70
depend upon the operations which are to begin
in the course Of month or two
The proclamation OF the rebel leader stands
in singular contrast with the recent confessions
in the rebel Congress. One is all hope aud
promise, aud the other is all fear and despair.
One boasts Of rebel victories and o largely
increased army. and the other bewails the
hopelessness Of the cause aud the dimiu-
ished force in the field. One Is the
effort of a desperate leader determined to
hazard all on the next campaign to inruse
courage in the ranks Of his deluded people,
while the other exhibits but little faith in the
success Of the miserable confederacy.
But what is the duty Of our government in
view of this state Of things? II is to act on
what JEFF Davis says. Our government
should take it for granted that al! the asser-
tons of this proclamation are true, and. by
throwing an overwhelming force in the field.

what there is left Of Secessia in single cam

mond authorities on the importation Of luxu-
ries and the expectation Of cotton show that the
Generalization among the people throughout
the South is becoming serious and alarming:
and, while JEFF Davis endeayors to encourage
them by fine phrases. the authority Of mill
tary tyranny is exercised to prevent the col
lapse of the whole concern by a renewal of
commercial intercourse between the two sec.
tons.
Are the authorities in Washington equal to

is in the generals. We must rely upon Grant.

The Draft,

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent, under date OF Sept s, says:
In regard to the draft the President sta
ted that in the first nine days after the
call was made the average number of re-
cruits received throughout the whole coun-
try was about 200 per day. In the ensn-
ing nine days the number increased to 800.
The whole number during the fifty days is
0.000. and the number is steadily increa-
sing. We must, he said, do what we can
to encourage this. We shall probably let
the draft daily along. enforcing it in few
localities. where they do not show suffi-
cient energy in recruiting. But we are do
ing all we can to encourage those locali-
ties that get recruits with celerisy.
Secretary Stanton in an official dispatch
dated Sept. I. says: rs
The Provost Marshal Generals office is
bnsily employed arranging the credits Of
the several districts. and is ordered to
draft without delay for the deficiencies of
the districts that have no. hlled their quo
ia, beginning with those most in arrears.
Credits for volunteers will be allowed as
long as possible. but the advantages of
filing the armies Immediately require that
the draft be speedily made in the default
ing districts. All applications for it's
postponement have before been refused.
