1t will be seen by our telegraphic dis
patches this morning, that SHERIDAN's cav
airy have found the rebel army under EAR
LII, which was annihilated few days ago,
recognizing, in strong position, and evi-
dently preparing for some new offensive
movement. The number of times which
EARLY's army has been destroyed in STAN
ToN's bulletins, and the number of times
in which it has been found ''coming to the
scratch" with vigor and strength, exhibits
a marvellous degree OF vitality on the part
of the rebels, and shows that truth is
stranger than fiction" Six weeks ago
STANTON announced that SHERIDAN had
captured everything on wheels" in the
Shenandoah Valley; two weeks after
wards, EARLY was found in force with plen-
ty of artillery; shortly afterwards EARLY
attacked SHERIDAN with vehemence and
plenty Of artillery; and shortly after that.
it was reported that SHERIDAN had captur-
ed sixty-four guns from the rebels, and
routed their army so completely that it was
flying in all directions. Now that same ar

ing for offensive movements. These various

Probability of a Heavy Draft after
the Election ..- New style of Con-
scripiion %. Substitutes and the
Fifty Days Notice 10 be Abolished
.. Failure Of the Last Draft.
WASHINGTON, October "a.
THE NEW DRAFT--AAIRNDMENTo OF THE con-
sCMPTIoN LAW.
It Is understood here that the report of
the Secretary of War to Congress will en-
brace the substance of very important
communication upon the subject OF the
conscription act, which has been addressed
to Mr.. Stanton by Provost Marshal Fry
1t is stated that this document claims that
the present conscription lawis not only a
failure in producing the right kind of men,
but is monstrous expense not only to the
Government, but to individuals, cities, coun-
ties and townships. General Fry urges
that the law should be amended, not allow
ing substitutes, and compelling the person.
nj services of every man, no matter what
his situation, as soon as he is drafted. 1t Is
found that the last call for five hundred
thousand men has probably not added to
our armies more than one hundred thou
sand. The class recruited are, in a great
degree, Jail birds, foreigners and vagabonds,
who desert whenever they can, and very
large number have found their way into
the rebel ranks. 1t is supposed that the
cost to individuals and localities of the
late draft, will amount to not less than
$l50OOO,OO0, while the men recruited
at this enormous cost are worth lit
tie or nothing to our army. 1t is
understood that the Secretary of War
will recommend to Congress the abolition
of the right to procure substitutes, and the
fifty-day notice; so that hereafter the men
drawn will be promptly put into the ranks.
Three hundred thousand more men will be
needed for the prosecution of the campaign,
if it is deemed advisable to keep up our
armies to their present standard, for the
reason that at least one hundred and fifty
thousand veteran troops will leave the SER
vice before May next. Congress will be
willing to adopt the recommendations OF
the Secretary of War, as there will be no
important election for two years. 1t will
be remembered thatthe Military committee
of both the Senate and the House strongly
urged the striking out of the substitute
clause in the last Congress. 1t was also the
earnest wish of the War Department and
the Provost Marshal General. The pend
ing election, however, compelled the Re-
publican Congressman to insert the provis-
ions allowing fifty days recruiting before
the enforcement OF the draft and permitting
the use of substitutes.
On the same subject the Washington city
National RepuJlicd's the radical organ of the
capital, says:
"The object of the draft is not to fill quo
tas, but to raise troops, and it should be ex-
ecuted with that view and for that purpose;
and as every able bodied citizen of the
proper age is subject to be called into the

Hon. 3. :. Cox I'm BunhIo.

y Mr.. Cox addressed an immense assem-
bIage i'm Buffalo, on Tuesday evening, Oct
25th. His speech on this occasion was one
of the ablest and best he ever delivered
and it was greeted with the most unbound
ed applause throughout. The Courier of the
26th gives synopsis of most of the speech,
and adds:
= "We regret that our space fails us to fol-
low Mr.. Cox, even in an imperfect sketch,
through the concluding and most brilliant
ly effective portion of his speech. In this
he spoke of Mcclellan, tracing his career
with mastery power and effect. The audi
ence listened breathless while he rehearsed
the epic of the Peninsula and Maryland
campaigns, and showed aow, In spite OF the
intrigues and trcachery of the Washington
politicians, Mcclellan saved the army and
the capital and preserved his own honor.
''At the conclusion of the address, the
most tumultuous and long continued ap-
plause testified to the success OF the speak
er as well as the enthusiasm OF his hearers
The Hall was crowded and !jammed to the
very doors, and not a man seemed to move
till Mr.. Cox had spoken his last word.
"At the close of the speech the Buffalo
Glee Club-than which better band of vO-
calists never discoursed music-sang Nc
Clellan is our Leader" and abraham, My
Abraham After the announcement that
Gov. Seymour would speak on tomorrow
evening the meeting adjourned with cheers
for the orator, and cheers for Mcclellan,
cheers for Seymour, and cheers for the
Glee Club"
Mr.. Cox has been speaking most effect
lively at other points throughout New
York, and will continue to speak in that
State until sometime next week, when he
will go into Pennsylvania and speak until
the day of election. Our advices from
New York and Pennsylvania leave no room
to doubt the success of the Democracy in
both those States. MCCLELLAN will un-
doubtedly carry both Of them, and be
elected.

ence of his countrymen, who were reward
ed by being permitted to hear a most elo-
quent and effective speech. From Buffalo
he goes to the other cities of Importance in
New York, where the Germans are numer-
GUS. He will do much good wherever he
speaks, for he is an accomplished. orator.
and is well posted as to the great questions

fizzle. Cows. Brough and Andrew were
there with other speakers, and the meeting
was to be big thing. Extra trains came
in and brought next to nobody. The train
from this city only had 156 passengers all
told when it reached Buffalo, and that in
cluded gun squad from Batavia.
The day procession numbered just 62C
persons, including bands, boys, and all be-

places tor meeting and speaking. Not find

and single meeting was held. Brough
spoke but Andrew did not.
In the evening the grand torchlight was
to come off. Two thousand torches were
ready but men and boys did not respond to
carry half of them. lsl

Dix I'm a Panic.

The rebels having signified their sympa-
thy with LINCOLN and declared that II they
had "a million votes they would cast them
all for LINCOLN" General DIX, command
ing the eastern States, has become alarmed
lest the Loyal Leaguers, dcserters, British
Abolitionists and Canadian bounty-jump-
ers, should invade the border on election
day and vote for their favorite candidate,
ABE LINCOLN. He has accordingly issued
formidable order against such scoundrels,
prohibiting them from voting upon pain
of being regarded as emissaries and spies.
He also takes the ballot-box under his pro-
tection,r and to insure the purity of the
Presidential election, provides certain reg
ulations calculated to prevent LINCOLN's
friends from voting. Whether the people
of New York have become so depraved as to
be subjugated by Canadian Abolitionists
and bounty brokers, and therefore need the
protection of '.the Major General command
ing, OF. whether DIX has taken this method
10 strike the Administration a well deserved
blow, are questions for the future; but this

The Moral and Loyal Cincinnati
49, ft-i PAPERS.


The Cincinnati Commercial and Gazette
have fallen into one of their semi-annual
snarls about the circulation of their respec-
tive issues. The Gazette swears that The
Commercial lies; The Commercial swears that
The Gazette lies-both asseverations are cor
rect. A wager of $500 has been
agreed upon between the two moral and
loyal journals in regard to their circulation,
which is to be decided by a committee OF
loyal and disinterested gentlemen, the
$1,000 thus wagered to be devoted to a
needy charitable institution called the
Widows Home. We congratulate the Wild
ows' Home upon this happy realization of
the trite aphorism that "when rogues fall
out honest people get their dues" SARAH
CANT (T'he Gdzette) and Mrs. HARRIS (The
Conn,erciaD are for the time fairly at log
gerheads, and their copartnership secrets in
the practice of obstetrics will doubtless
soon become public property. The aver
age depravity OF public taste may be accu-
rately estimated and decided upon when
the statistics of this midwife copartnership
are produced by mutual consent.

Peace and War.

The Springfield paper, edited by VIM
CoaGEsHALI, an individual who won't fight
and can't write, pronounces The STATESMAN
"a peace paper" and then accuses 1t of hy-
pocrisy in declaring that Democrats should
defend themselves from the assaults of Abo-
lition ruffians by physical force. THk
STATESMAN is-not "a peace paper" in the
sense IN which the Springfield pedant and
slanderer uses the word; and for his benefit,
we say that when Democrat is outraged
and abused by Abolition Disunionists, and
stigmatized as 'traitor," and denounced
by the use of such epithets as this CoGGEs-
HALL freely uses in his filthy paper, we are
in favor of the Democrat knocking down
the liar, and, if possible, trampling him in
thedust. We trust Mr.. WM. CooGEsHALI,
pedant, will understand this explanation,
and govern himself accordingly.

Significant fact that General Mcclellan was
cheered in Plymouth Church last night
During Mr.. Beecher's very eloquent and
sarcastic objurgations of the Chicago plat
form and everything connected with 1t, he
mentioned the name of the General where
upon the campaign sermon was interrupted
for minute or two by three rounds of ap-
plause, as hearty apparently and almost as
noisy as if they were given in the Acade-
my OF Music. To do him justice, the Rev.
campaigner looked rather taken aback for a
moment, and he took care not to mention
the Generals name again. Yours, &C.,
