ANOTHER DRAFT.

The President has ordered another
call aud draft for 100000 men to sup
ply the deficiency occasionsd by cred
its on the last call. Under the call for
100000, but 250, COO men were raised.
Tho quota of this county under tho
last call was no. Taking the same
ratio, it should bo about 426, undor a
call for 100000. By correcting the en- =
rollmcnt lists and changing the basis
of the quota, the number required of
this county may be considerably do
creased.
Tho quota of the city under the
last call was 95, or 10 men TO every
thousand called for. At this rate, the
city will have to furnish 81 under the
late call. But the city has a credit Of
over 80 men, and this, with the rcduc-
ton which will no doubt result from
correcting tho ear llment, will leave
us about 20 men to furnish. The law
gives us fifty days, and We ought tc
clear tho city again.

Hoods artillery, and his army is real
ly and fearfully demoralized. All the
rivers are high, and all the bridges in
Hoods front are destroyed. Our pom.
toons are up.
We captured three thousand of the
enemy's wounded at Franklin. Since
Thursday we have captured'and bro't
in just six thousand prisoners, making
nine thousand, counting in the wound
ed taken at Franklin.
We have captured four Generals,
Major Generals Jackson and J johnston,
and Brigadier Generals Smith and
Ruckcr. Hood had sixty-fvc pieces
of artillery. We have captured forty,
four pieces. Our entire loss will not
reach thirty-five hundred. None Of
our General officers were injured. This
is the handsomest victory of the war

Destination of the Great Fleet.

The Commercial announces that Will
mington Harbor is supposed to be the
destination of the great expedition
which sailed from Hampton Roads on
tho 18th instant. 1t says, the plan Of
Admiral Porter will probably be to
effect first the reduction of the forts,
which will be shelled at long range; !;
rs soon as the fire of the forts slackens,
light. draft boats and monitors will
pass the forts and encounter the OBJ
strv vctions in the river above. To aid
in the reduction Of the forts, Admiral
Porter will probably have recourse to
explosion of powder close under tho
walls, demoralizing them by the con-
fusion. Powder will be carried there
by an old transport. DISTINCTIONS re-
moved from Cape Fear River, the feet
can pass up to Wilmington and assist
General Butler in the capture of the
place. If success is achieved, Will
mington will, undoubtedly, be made
base tor the future operations.
The Commercial also says there ii
no winter-quarters for any OF thu
armies, except that portion of Grant
which will continue the csiege ofPsters
burg and Richmond. ~
Before the 1st of May we will occu
py the entire coast, and every straget
point upon the line of communicated
in tho South. Leo will bo powerles
to prevent this, and by the 1st Of Ma,
will find Grant ready to dispute wit
him tho possession Of Richmond.
