Are More Men Needed /,

The military authorities in Baltimore,
the capital of "Free" Maryland, have sus-
pended the publication of q newspaper in
that city because it sta ted that after the
election We should have another draft
The administration journals pretty clearly
intimate that we shall have draft. Mr..
SwINToN, who is believed to be in the cons
hdence Of the War Department authorities
- ~~-h;~eta-, -.;t.. 80 tho Now York
1snes: "The obvious moral of the late
"rove IL only confirmation of what was
"tAe actual truth before it was made, Grant
"needs reinforcements. and with these the
capture Of Richmond is foregone conclu-
"sion." We know that GRANTS move.
ments have been fearfully wasteful of hu-
man life. If he has fixed on . plan to
capture Richmond, it is not spparent.A
This first plan-Mr. LINcoLs's plan-of
marching overland, contemplated tho de.
struction of LIES army, 80 that by the
Time we had driven him in front of Rich>
mond, LEES army would DO so decimated
that it could not hold that city. This did
not succeed. His next plan depended for
success on the capture of Lynchburg by
SIE0fL or HUNTER. This was not accom>
plished. The terrific battles on the north
eide of the James followed and finally the
north side was abandoned altogether, and
the capture of Petersburg was attempted,
at first BY direct assault, subsequently by
siege, and finally by the mining operations
which resulted so disastrously to u.s.
Then an attempt was made to cut off
communication between Richmond and the
South. After this had been tried, the
theatre Of war was again transferred to the
North side of the James. Great impor>
lance was attached to Gen. BuTLERs canal
projec:, but nothing appears to have come
oft. The last attack involved an advance
on both sides of the river, and after testing
the strength of the rebel Notifications that
too was abandoned. All these movements
We're terribly costly in men, and Mr..
SwxroN's statement that more men are
required, is very reasonable. 1t was said
that Gen. MCCLELLAN had no plan of q
campaign, but his plan was we'll defined as
10 now known "With SO many men can
capture Richmond" The men were de-
MED, and Richmond is still under the
hated bars and stars. In 1862 We had the
opportunity Of ending the rebellion; is it
possible that to day We can forgive or for
get the men who denied the nation this op.

ALL that Grant needs to take Richmond
are reinforcements, say official advices from
Washington. If this be SO, what has be-
come of the men raised by the last draft2
Are they all used up alredy2 and if SO, how
long will it be before another draft will be
ordered? If all that Grant needs ia to be
reinforced, why are not the soldiers sent to
the front who, under the Hookers, Wallaces,
Washburnes and others, are engaged in
suppressing democratic newspapers and car
rying state elections by terrorism and fraud
ulent voting.

PRICES IN THE RICHMOND MARKETS.

PRICES IN THE RICHMOND MARKETS.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 2
Deeming it to be the duty of every one
in these days of extortion to do what may
be done to aid those who are victims to q
merciless spirit of greed and gain, l desire
to call attention to the fact that some veg
etables can be bought at the commission
stores for about one third the price deman
ded at tho market houses. For instance,
Irish potatoes can be bought at $25 per
bushel from the merchants, while at the
market house So to $3.50 per quart is de
manded-equal from $64 to $50 per bushel.
Sweet potatoes. for which $l4 peck ($56
a bushel is charged at the markets, can be
had of the merchants at $50 a bushel-a
difference of $26 on the bushel.

The St. Louis Anzeiger, radical Repub
lican paper, has the following article:
Another Draft In PrOsDect.

In the beginning, Abraham Lincoln asked
for $4,000 volunteers. So many volunteers
rushed to arms that they could not all be
accepted. These men received $l3 per
month, and afterwards Congress gave them
a bounty of$400. Then came the calls for
volunteers for three years or during the
war, and still the regiments were speedily
filed, for the Government offered from
$3O8 to S402 bounty. Next the regular
army was increased about 10000 men.
These were also speedily raised, for tie
bounties were very large. The volunteer
system was continued 10 all sorts of shapes.
Six months, nine months, and twelve
months men were taken. 1t was insinuated
that these short lived regiments would only
be used within the limits of the State rails
ing them, and enormous county and city
bounty were raised, and induced many to
enter this, as they thought it easy service.
But owing to the art of our Burnside
and Hooker in the way Of carrying on war,
these thousands of men were sent quicker
into the other void than they could be re
placed; and the remaining male population
became somewhat disgasted with such kind
of service, SO that even the bounties lost
their charm, and none thought of volun
teering.
Hence, the CONSUMPTION was ordered. 1t
contained a $500 clause, but As the nation
found it very hard to get used to the idea
of compulsatory military duty, the con-
scription was scarcely anywhere carried
out. This did not satisfy the greatest man
consumer of our Generals, Ulysses Grant,
and thus Congress had to pass new con-
scription law, from which the $500
clause was stricken, but in which the SUBJ
stitute system remained. But as the for.
mer calls for volunteers had made . heavy
inroad on our male population, the con-
scription scarcely brought one fifth of the
required number. From this one.ffth, not
two per cent entered the service them>
selves, and SO per cent. furnished substi
tutes, costing from $500 to 81, 600 piece
OF course, this also would. not do, and
now it il accordingly proposed to strike the
substitute system altogether out of the
new law, and to call for another. 400, 600
next January. @ss 81.

From Beauregard's Army.

The Richmond Examiner of November
LIST contains the following flF
The Southern papers bring us very. little
Of the movements and operations of Hoods
army. This may be accounted for from the
fact that this army is constantly on the
move, and there is very little opportunity,
for this reason, Of communicating with the
press. From the accounts we get, it seems
to be settled fact that General Hood
broke up his camp at Gadsden, Alabama,
on the 22d, moved northward in the direc
ton of Gunter's Landing, on the Tennessee,
and is now, in all probability, in Middle
Tennessee. The events of the next few
days will be looked for with interest. 1t
is reported that Forrest has been ordered
forward to attack Bridgeport. A CORE
spondent of the Montgomery Mail, writing
from Gadsden, says: 1855.
|, The army has moved; the troops are
gone. The last train has disappeared, and
the last soldier has taken his farewell peep
at the south side of the Coosa.
On Friday, October 81, Stewards corps
marched out in the van. 1t was followed
by Lee, or rather Dick Taylor, who occu-
pies the centre; and to-day, at dawn, the
delighted Tennesseeans, under Cheatham,
crossed the River Jordan, or Coosa. The
transportation quickly followed, and at
noon the pontoon was taken up and bur-
ried forward.
What does it mean? 1t has but one sig.
MITIGATION that is" Forward >" General
Cheatham was quite unwell when he
mounted to follow his corps But" said
he, eve sre going home now, and I'll strap
myself to my saddle before they shall leave
me behind"
General Beauregard is with Gen. Hood.
Every general officer is at his post, and
the spirit and morale of the men are I'M
bounded.
We shall cross the Tennessee river, as is
generally believed, near Guntersvi'le, about
Sunday, October %, or the next day. The
weather is delicious and the roads good.
The days are just cool enough to make a
tramp of thirty miles healthful exercise,
and the nights not too cool for sound and
happy slumbers.

to embrace all men from eighteen TO fifty

the wealthy people will emigrate, prices
will raise TO An enormous extent, and snch

that it will even be difficult to supply the

Such are the consequences of system,
which has already decimated and impover-
ished Us, although deceptive financial ex
periments have still preserved the sembtanct
Of former prosperity, and although the emf

Commenting on these figures the New
York Commercial Advertiser says: ...
"The increase in the coin interest is, in
round numbers, $4,000 900, and in the cur
rency interest $l,5OO,000. The throwing
of good proportion of the increase of in
terest upon the currency portion OF the debt
is the most satisfactory feature of Secretary
Fessenden's management of the finances.
"The total increase Of the debt during
the month is SOL ,l25,799, which in round
numbers is an average increase of $4,000
900, per day, or $733, 100000, per year.
This continued enormous increase connot
be longer allowed to pass unheaded without
serious danger to the finances. If the next
Congress fails to inquire what can be done
toward arresting this rapid accumulation
of debt by reform in our system of finan-
ces, the lending public may be expected to
exhibit mach less confidence in Government
securities then they show at present"
