Shall They Run Away from the Draft?

The tide of emigration is setting so
strongly toward Idaho, especially since
the enforcement of the draft is rendered
sure, that it is causing serious alarm in
Missouri and other Western States.
The Missouri Democrat of Saturday
says on this subject:
g. As the draft approaches, we find
that, by singular coincidence, the gold
furore increases. What the occult con-
nection between the two is, it might not
be hard to guess. The fact, it strikes
US, should receive attention from our
military authorities, as we have not
heard that this form of yellow fever ex-
empts its subjects from military duty.
p We see that Governor Stone of Iowa
has shut down the gates of that State
against those who at this juncture would
leave its safe precincts for the periIs
and privations of Idaho. A like ne
ereGt should at once be applied to Mis-
souri,, if not by the Governor, by the
General commanding the Department
Unless this is done, hundreds, perhaps
thousands, viii avoid the liability to
draft by starting across the plains. The
prohibition is perhaps much more need
ed in this than in any other State, for
the reason that its population includes
the sons of many Secessionists of means,
and who are willing to adopt so Inviting
mode of defrauding the country of the
services due to her

GENERAL: | have the honor to ac-
knowledge the reception of your letter
of the 18th inst. The admonition which
you gave me against trifing with it the
weight of authority with which you seek
to impress me.
l am, nevertheless, ready to respond,
in plain terms, to the suggestions con-
veyed in your first letter, and which you
quote in your second dispatch, that l
communicate through you any views
which the United States Government
may entertain, having for their object
the speedy restoration of peace through
out the land.
These views, so far as they can be inter-
preted, from the policy of the Govern
ment, and sustained by the people at
their elections, are as follows:
First, the restoration of the rights of
citizenship to all now in rebellion against
the Government who may lay down their
arms and return TO their allegiance.
Second, the prosecution of the war
until every attempt at armed resistance
to the Government shall have been over
come

forward an order publishing the proceed
ing, finding and sentence in the case oil

The War.

We have al length received some de-
tails OF the movements on Atlanta. TC
affect the crossing of the Chattahooche.
Gen. Sherman moved his forces some dis
tance up the river, and massed them on
the enemys right flank. This compelled
johnson to fall back. Sherman's whole
army Immediately crossed, and ON Sun
day last had advanced to within five miles
OF Atlanta. On Monday Gen. M'Pher-
sons corps occupied Decatur, on the Au-
gusta railroad, thereby severing the enc
my's communications east On the same
day General Hooker took up position
on M'Pherson's left, and additional forces
were being sent 10 advance the line fur
ther southwark. On Wednesday the Con-
federates attacked the position, but were
unable to force it. On Thursday fighting
was resumed. The Confederates were
again repulsed. General Sherman push
ed forward portion of his line An as
soclated Press despatch from New York,
yesterday, states that there was telegraphic
communications with Atlanta. No Off
cial announcement ofits capture had been
received, however.
urther advlceS do not confirm the re-
ported capture of three hundred wagons
from the Confederate raiders at Smokers
Gap. A New York despatch says that
only one hundred were taken, while
telegram from Washington does not men
ton any capture at all, but says one Of
the plunder trains was burnt to prevent it
from falling into the hands of the attack
ing Federal force. The same discrepancy
exists as to. the number of prisoners, one
account making it three hundred, another
eighty-six
From Missouri we have startling ac-
counts. The whole State is overrun by
bands of the enemy, and the citizens were
everywhere joining them. The total
Confederate force in Missouri, is estimat-
ed at nearly twenty thousand. They
have occupied Plattsburg and Marion, in
the northwestern part of the State, and
are moving TO cut the railroads. The
Federal commanders are powerless, and
the State militia will have to be called
ont.
The Indians are beginning TO be troub-
lesomc in the northwest. We hear of
them on the Colorado mail route, and it
IS reported that they have captured some
Federal posts.
There is no news from General Grants

therefore system that aims at elevatlng

them to a knowledge and care OF their

these rights were assailed, this party

Although its principles are the living
innate principles of all the ennobling
qualities of the human heart, it has al
ways met with the most deadly hostility
that human ingenuity could invent, by
leading men, who never could believe thai
the people were fit for self-government.
That was their leading idea, although
they came out over a new signature every
four years.
These men would start under their

followed by many honest but unthinking
men through all their muddy paths.
