.'thrcc hundred thousand more" is
already full. and is so published
But that fact makes no difference and
Governor Morton has issued stir
ring proclamation urging the people
to 90 steadily forward in recruiting
men, just Us though the draft was
impending That's the way to do it.
While such a spirit is manifested in
Indiana, there is not the least danger
of n draft coming nigh the State
Such energy, zeal and patriotism, al.

This latter item troubles the secesh
who are just now destitute of any
country or nationality recognized, by
other nations. They dislike to en-
roll themselves as citizens of the uni
ted Statcs,' for that is to admit their
treason; and if they claim the Con.
fcdcracy as their "nation," then the
McXicans inform them that no such
nationality is found in tbs Calendar;
and Of course their persons and prop
erty are not placed under protection
of Mexican law. This is certainly
very serious dilemma. "A man with .
out Country" is kind of lusus that
international comfy makes no pro- /
vision for. On this account; the reh. /
el refugees in Mexico are much in the
condition Of that flying fish, which

in view Of successful issue TO his
propositions, he has ordered all reb-

that the blockade in that quarter is

than formerly. A blockade runner

EJ-The daughter of a well.known
commission merchant in Chicago has
instituted 4 suit against prominent
phyeician of that city for a breach of
promise of marriage-damages S24,

1t will be rccollected that some
months since Chief Justice Wood ,
ward of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court delivered an opinion declaring
-he conscription law unconstitutional
and granting an injunction to restrain
the Provost Marshal from taking

ANOTHER PRINCIPLE ABANDONED. -
Hostility to banking institutions and
chartered corporations possessing
monopoly privileges was formerly a
cardinal doctrine among "the Demo
Gratis" But in this, as in everything
else, the party that now disgraces
that name has proved false to its pro-
