In the extracts lately published in this
journal from the Richmond correspondence
of the London Morning Herald, it was clear
ly shown that the Yankee draft had proved
q failure. The recent debate in the United
States Senate upon the crazy proposition Of
q Senator from Wisconsin TO raise million
II men for the deliverance Of the Yankee
prisoners In Richmond elected the declara.
tlon from Senator Wilson that hundred
thousand might possibly be raised, but that
these raw recruits would soon beSdisposed
Of By the veterans Of Gen. Lee. The enor
NOUS bounties offered for volunteers show
the increased difficulties Of raising men for
the Yankee armies 0c:o Is higher In New
York than ever before. II the Confederate
Congress and the people of the Confederate
States now do their duty, the "winter Of our
discomfort" under the blessing Of Provi.
dence, will give place to glorious spring,
and the backbone Of ;hs Yankee invasion
will be finally and forever broken. Only let
us be true TO ourselves, and inspire the
army In our front with the moral effect of q
harmonious and determined people, and the
starry cross Of the Confederacy will emerge
from the clouds and darkness which now
surround II In blaze Of glory.
1t - unmsnly, wicked, and traitorous to

devote that Interval before the opening Of

moniously In the common cause. Let the
whole Confsderscy rise a. one man, and
strike sush blow - great people ought To
strike Tor IL liberties and rights. Let the

grows ia the streets of Charleston. On
The street which, prior to the war. was the
BrOsdWay of the city, grass aud weeds
three feet high cover the entire space. That
is one of the effects of our Smelling. Two
or three days before our officers left the city,
about six hundred other prisoners were sent
20 Charleston to be placed under FIRE. The
number would have been much larger had
not Gen. Stoneman cut the railroad com
munication between Macon and Charleston.
As it is, if the rebels carry out their de-
sign, Charleston will be filed with prison.
oDers within short time.
On his arrival within our lines, General
Seymour wore coat from which the reb-
els had cut off all save four buttons. These
buttons, il is understood, they sold for Eve
dollars. Thieying and robbery are system
aticalIy practiced By the rebels. The pris
oners are invariably robbed of blankets and
other clothing. II tkey protest against
such an outrage. they are insulted in the
most villainous manner. The leading reb-
els place great stress on the probable result
of the Presidential election in the North.
They augur that the copperhesds will elect
their candidate, in which case the Southern
Confederacy is bound to be fixed institu
ton. The reelection of Mr.. Lincoln, they
consider, would be a vital blow to their

Il is amusing to listen to the various rea-
sons urged why Lincoln should rot be re-
elected. One faction denounces him be-
cause he did not abolish slavery soon enough
smother cannot go for him because he
meddled with slavery-one cannot vote for
him because he keeps Blair in ofice-anoth-
er will not support him if be attempts to
remove Blair. Fremonters go against him
because he violates the Constitution-the
adherents of the Wendell Phillips policy
viii vote against him because he sticks too
closely to that instrument. Some cannot
go for him because he is too lenient-otheTs
oppose him because of his barbarous and
inhuman manner Of carrying on the war.
One set of politicians oppose him for not
admitting Southern States into the Union.
while Wade and Davis brand him as usuF-
per for proposing to admit them on any
terms. Hsiafe
This homogeneous mass of politicians,
under their leaders, are now attempting to

pose Mr.. Lincoln. They become irritated
