ton from the draft on the ground of
physical disability, will be useful to those
who are engaged in the work of purging
the enrolment lists of those whose owners
are not liable to draft:
Par. 35. The following diseases and infrmi-
ties, are those which disqualify for military
service. and for which only drafted men are to
be rejected as physically or mentally unfit for
the service viz.
l. Manifest mental imbecility.
1. Insanity. This includes we'll established
recent insanity, with liability to a recurrence
;. Epilepsy. For this disability the state,
ment of the drafted man is insufficient, and
the fact must be established by the duly at
tested affidavit of physician in good stanoing,
who has attended him in the disease within the
six months Immediately preceding his exam

THE RIPENdNG CORN.

How sweet to walk through the wlleatlands
brown,
When the teaming tatness of Heaven drops
down
The waving crop with it's bursting cars
A sea of gold on the earth appears;
No longer rObed in dress of green,
With tawny faces the fields are seen
A sight more welcome and joyous fair
Than a hundred blood-won victories are.
A crowd awaits meath the cottage caves.
To cut the corn and to bind the sheaves
At length is heard the expected sound;
And the reapers 90 forth with as blithe soul
AS those who joined the Olympian gaol
And sorrowless hearts and voices come
To swell the shouts of the harvest home.

favorable circumstances to al the influences of
education and Christianity, / have no doubt
that such treaties would be eminently wise
and humane; but between such condition
and the native state OF the Indian there is no
intermediate arrangement which is not at-
tended with wrong to the Indian, unnecessary
expense to the government, and constant dan
ger to the frontier settlements. In his wild
condition the Indian possesses, at least, many
noble qualities, and has only the vices which
are inseperable from the savage state. He is
free, 80 far as he can be, happy, cOntented, and
easily managed. If the government make any
change in his condition it should be for the
better.
1t Is easier far TO preserve the peace and
protect emigration where only wild Indians are
in question than where these annuity Indians
are concerned. Either radical change in our
Indian policy should be made, or, in justice to
the government as well as to the Indian and
to the cause of humanity, he should be left in
his native state, only subject to the condition
that he shall not modest the emigrants who
pursue their journey through his vast domain.
If we cannot adopt the former of these alter
natives, the latter has at least been made more
easy by the fact that we have already reached
the western limit of the great fertile region be-
tween the Mississippi River and the Rocky
Mountains. The great region now roamed
over by the Indians offers no inducements to
settlement and cultivation, and the lands are
not coveted by the whites except in the cir
cumscribed regions within the mountains
where gold has been discovered. Special ar
engagements can, if necessary, be made with
the Indians who claim those immediate dis
tricts: but there is no longer the necessity of
interfering with the wild Indians of the great
plains, further than to secure immunity of
travel for white emigrants. This safety of
travel can readily be secured by the kind &C
ton of the military authorities
believe that the further application by IN
dian treaty of our present system of treaty
making would only leopard this result, and for
this reason, az well as in consideration of the
facts heretofore stated | urge on the Depart
ment that no treaties be made nor renewed with
Indians in this department
The system of Indian policy [ have herein
sketched and recommended I hope earnestly
will be adopted, IS well for the good of the In
dian as for the good of the country Until
that is done or some such change in our Indian
system be made, trust that on grounds of hui
manity rs well rs of interest the government
will decide TO leave the indian in his native
| wilderness.

out correspondent of the american sends
the following intelligence:
"Large numbers Of refugees from Rich
mond continue to arrive here. They re-
port that large force of infantry and cav
airy, under Gen. Lee in person, has gone
up the Shenandoah Valley to reinforce
Gen. Early. They assert that this body
of rebel troops numbers as many as
1000 men, their purpose being to secure
the plumber that was captured by Early in
Maryland, which they fear will be taken
by the advance of Gen. Sheridan, and also
to attack Washington or invade the North
"A German mechanic, who has been
employed for over two years by the Con-
federate Navy Department in the con-
struction Of i-On-clad vessels, says there
are two vessels at Wilmington, N. c.,
ready to run the blockade They carry
24-pouaders, and are covered with 4-inch
iron. Each vesse, carries four guns.
There are also two at Kingston, n c.
One of them is named the Moose. She
carries 24-pounders, and is to be COM
manded by Capt. F. Floyd, of the Con-
federate States Navy. There are also two
vessels in the Pedee River, north Of
Georgetown, both of which will be ready
for duty in month, perhaps sooner. One
is called the Peiee, Lieutenant Morgan,
G. S. N, commanding; the other is
named the Marion, for which no officer has
been appointed as yet. Both these vessels
are clad with iron four inches thick, and
each carries four "a Founders. There is
one iron-clad building at Plymouth, N. G.
Her armor is twelve inches in thickness,
and she is to be ready for sea in two
months. She is to carry 12-pounder guns,
and is to be named the Albemarle. He

WAsHlNeroS, Aug. 22.-Doubts having
arisen as to the intention of Congress in
regard to paragraph 40 of section 70 OF
the Internal Revenue law, which has been
construed as requiring all persons engaged
in business or employment earning 81, 900,
and not specified in other parts of the law,
to take out $40 license. The Commits.
sioner of Internal Revenue has given in
st,uctions to all the assessors to defer &C.
ton in reference thereto until May, 1865,
thus giving Congress an opportunity to
revise what is deemed an oppressive re-
quirement. The commissioner deserves
the thanks of the people for this liberal
and humane decision, which was made at
the strong recommendation of Peter Page,
ESQ, Assessor at Chicago.
