Since the agreement for the exchange of

Gen. WOOL be lac yNar.


Gen. Wool has written letter to The
Secretary of the Albany Relief Bazaar
warmly indOrsing sll the various move
ments on foot for supplying the wants oil
the soldiers. The following paragraph
occurred in his letter:
The war engendered by unprincipIed
and ambitious demagogues has lasted too
long. 1t should not be permitted to last
beyond the present year, and if the
North, East and West will put forth their
enc gies il will cease in 1864. They
have the means ia men, money and sup
plies in abundance, and these should rot
be withheld to carry on the war The
Potomac Army should be increased 90
two hundred thousand men, with 6 sta.
tionary force for the defense OF Wash
ington of City thousand. Gen. Grants
army for Chattanooga and Rockville
should be increased TO at least two hun
dred and fifty thousand.
These armies rightly directed would
endthe war. TIE army Of the Potomac
should proceed direct for Richmond, and
not - has been suggested, by way Of
james river or York river. With two
hundred thousand men properly organ.
lied, skilfuily arranged and directed, the
rear and supplies could be guarded,
Richmond taken, Washington protected
and raids prevented from Ohio, Mary
land and Pennsylvania, and from inter
feriDg with the Ohio and Baltimore rail-
road. II, however, the Potomac Army
should be ordered by james or York
river to Richmond, Gen. Lee would no
doubt march on Washington, Maryland
or Pennsylvania, when we would have
another panic and stampede st Wash
ingtoB, and the army OF tho Potomac
would be recalled 20 protect the capital,
and subsequently the war would be ex-
tended to 1866. This ought 10 be avoided
if possible.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-02-27


The main features of this set, which
has now passed Congress, are the fol-
lowing:
The classes are consolidated. Per.
sons between the ages of 20 end 10 are
liable. If they shall reach 20 by the
time Of the draft, they are liable. II
they shall reach IS before the draft
they are not subject. Exceptions, aside
from those who have served two year,,
or are now IN service, are reduced to
physical or mental disability. DRAFTED
persons may furnish substitutes not sub
iect to draft. Aliens who have voted or
held Office, shall not be exempt. It does
not declare that immigrants who have
taken the oath Of renunciation and al
legianoe in the declaration of intentions,
are SUI jsct to duty, as it ought 70 do. But
in right and We suppose in law, they
are.
NOn-resistsnts, from conscientious
scTuples, when drafted, to be assigned to
hospital duty.
Money communication of $500 exempts
for one year.
Able bodied male colored persons are
TO be enrolled the same IS whites. When
q slave Of loyal master is drafted, his
master shall have . cerli6cats Thereof;
the slave shall be free, and the bounty
of 500 shall be paid to his loyal master.
When = slave volunteers, his loyal
master shsll receive = just compensation,
not exceeding $500, to be awarded by
commission appointed by the Secretary
of War; and the volunteer shall be Free.
The same provisions extend to cOlOFed
persons previously enlisted.
Colored conscripts or volunteers shall
be credited,On the quota Of the States
from which they are taken, but they are
not to be assigned ss State troops, but
are to be mustered into organizations rs
. s. CoIored Volunteers.
The money to paymssters of celored
volunteers is 10 be payable out Of the
fund derived from combinations.
These are the essential features of the
bill, Invested of legislative multiplied
ton of words. A peculiar feature will
be noticed in the provision for colored
enlistments. While the bounty money
is taken from the fund received for COM
mutations, the State in which they en-
list is credited with tina mon its quota
Thus master gets $500 bounty for his
slave who volunteers, and his slave
counts, Jssides, in the quota to save him
from draft.
The set is NOT perfect, but 1t is q great
improvement and it will probably an
swer the object.
