D The prospect that Ottawa County
will, at an early dav, be the possessor Of
a regularly endowed Collegiate Institute,
is quite fattering. Our Holland Colo
nists upon whose petition an act was
passed, at the last session Of our State
Legislature, enabling them to legally
convert their fourishing academic school,
in the village Of Holland, into a College,
are manifesting very praiseworthy libe-
rality and zeal in the enterprise. Already
several thousands of dollars have been
subscribed toward the endowment by
the citizens of Holland. We are inform
ed it is The intention Of Revs. Phelps and
Oggel, now connected with the academy,
to enter soon upon a tour the one east
ward and the other westward, to solicit
funds to complete the endowment with
the most fattering assurances Of success.
Al College Institute in our midst, amply
endowed, will exalt the name of Ottawa
County among her sister counties-it be-
ing the first institution of the kind es-
tablished in western Michigan.

A glance at our national affairs, gives
certain evidence that ere long another
conscription will BE- made. The character
of it is clearly foreshsdowed ia the re-
ports Of the Secretary Of War now in
preparation. And when his recommend
ations have been adopted, as they certain
ly will, We shall feel conscription ms
merciIess in its operations as any we have
beon so ready to denounce in the southern
States. a..
He substantially recommends that the
conscripsion law be SO amended, that neil
ther substitutes or Communication shall be
received in any case, and that the draft
may be made without notice. With such
law in force, one may leave bis home
in the morning for the workshop, The field,
or the Office, and at night find himself in
the United States barracks, soldier.
The Communication clause has been
promptly stricken out Of the laws, and it
is grave question whether the govern
ment will not deal moro justly with its
people by compelling the conscript to serve
personally instead Of allowing the rich
man to get a substitute. If the recon-
mendations Of the Secretary Of War arc
adopted, the dictates of common human
ity are that the list Of cxempts should
largely .extend, SO that sudden con-
scription may not fall too hard upon those
who are dependents, such as motherless
children, or those of poor psrents.
Our FIRST national couscription was vir-
tually for poor men and rich mems money.
Subsequently, it was for poor men and
rich mems substitutes. The next should
call upon the rich and favor the poor.
1t would be economy to take as few
men as possible whose families in their
absence would have to receive relief
The rich man receives the greater protec-
ton from government, and the burden
should fall the greater upon him as we'll
in the way Of defending it, as in paying
its taxes. Especially should this be so,
after the Iaboring classes have been cali
cd upon as they have.
The law Of self-protection will suggest
to our readers the propriety of offering
Inducements to enlist. Should another
draft be ordered, without change Of the
law, the great amount Of local bounties
that viii bo called for viii impose terri
bic taxes. e
TO be satisfied that another call viii be
made, and that, Too, soon, one needs but
to reccollect that before tho next summers
campaign opens very large number Of
the troops 10 tho field will be discharged,
as their times will then expire. All the
army commanders are advocating the re-
inforcement of their armies. In almost
every locality where any one connected
with the war department, who thereby
has an opportunity to learn the designs Of
the administration, upon this point, we
see the people acting under the advice Of
these men, arc encouraging enlistments,
preparatory to another conscription.

says Sherman had his headquarters on
Monday last at Kingston, with the l4th
Corps. He had issued an order, telling
the troops they were about to pass thro'

mules within their reach. The l4th
