lie has been but brief time in command, and
yet several audacious blockade runners have
been captured within q few weeks. These
daring craft had everything their own way be-
fore; but now IL Is not go easy nor 10 safe q
game to attempt blockade running at Whining
ton. Admiral Porter understands the philoso.
ply Of the thing. He insists upon having the
right men in the right places. If an officer is
found incompetent to command his ship, or
fails to render good service in preserving the
blockade, the Admiral replaces him by better
man. One OF the best vessels Of the squadron
has been two years or more In service and al-
though she has run around TO various points
on several missions, yet sho has really accom-
pished nothing. Almost the arst official act
OF Admiral Porter was to replace her old CON-
mander by new one. Now we may look for
some good record from her An inactive
squadron off blockaded port is worse than
useless, for the moral effect OF its inactivity
upon the rebels is mischievous. It creates
boldness out OF the apparent weakness Of their
enemies. Under the command of Admiral
Porter vigilance and activity are the prevail
ing elements In the management Of the North
Atlantic squadron, as the recent captures
prove. This shows how much our navy can
accomplish under men like Porter and Far

THE RUMoRED DRAFT.-Rumors have been
circulated that new draft is about to be
made. This is not at all likely. 1t is possible
that the government may ind 1t necessary, in
order to more speedy suppression Of the re-
bellion, to fill up the unsupplied quota of the
last draft, made in September last, in the call
for five hundred thousand mon. That draft,
it will be remembered, was not completed
throughout all the States, although New York
city gave her FULL quota, and is therefore exempt
from any further demand under that call. Mr.
Whiting the solicitor Of the War Department
stated in speech at Boston that one hundred
and twenty-five thousand men had been OBJ
tanned upon this draft; there are, there
fore, three hundred and seventy-6ve thou
sand still due; and 1t is not unfair that
the States which have not contributed
fully, as some have done, should be
called upon to do likewise If more men are
needed. But it is highly improbable that, after
the old draft is completed, another one will be
made. Indeed it will not be necessary if the
government only adopt the same system Of
recruiting throughout the country which is
sors, by continuing to pay liberal bounties :
although we are not liable to draft just now
secure from fifty to sixty recruits day. II
the government were to establish recruiting
Offices on this principle oil over the States the
army in the field could be kept amply supplied
with fresh men, and oil future drafts could be
avoided. The system Of recruiting has been
proved better and more economical method
OF keeping up the strength Of the army than
CONSUMPTION. We think, therefore, that the
government will afford every encouragement to
the former plan.

TIoN-In the early part Of the last session Of
Congress we threw out the idea that the way
to settle the abolition question was not by the
emancipation proclamation, which the Presi
dent himself declared was Of no more effect
than "the Pope's bull against the comet" nor
by anything OF that kind, but by an amendment
to the constitution by two-thirds vote of Con-
gress, and then reference Of the matter, as the
constitution directs, to the Legislatures, where,
TALLY endorsed. In this way slavery would be
abolished in constitutional manner by the
special edict Of the people.
Urging this view Of the question upon Con-
gress, we were glad to see that the Senate &C
copied the proposition and acted favorably
uponit; but, owing to the folly of the demo-
Gratis of the House OF Representatives the
into the hands Of the people themselves, and
in the last election they have chosen members
Of Congress enough to insure the success
o, the plan proposed, thus practically dis
posing Of the difficulty. Now it ceases to be
a party question, and has become great
national issue. If the democratic members of
Congress are wise they will 60 with the
others in accomplishing this purpose. The
Congress to which the measure must
be submitted will not meet until the first Mon
day of December, 1865, unless there be an ex
ira session. Thus it will be fully year be-
fore Congress can act in the premises Then
year or two may elapse before the decision Of
the State Legislatures can be obtained. On
the whole, it may be two or three years before
any settled action can be taken. Nevertheless,
this is the only way in which the idea will be
carried out, unless Jefferson Davis, as is most
likely, supersedes us in the work. His propo-
sition to conscript forty thousand negroes into
the rebel service, to drill and use them as
| laborers, as a nucleus Of an army of blacks,
with the solid provision that all slaves actually
| employed as soldiers shall be set at liberty,
shows him to be the true practical abolitionist
OF the day. He is far ahead of Wendell Phil
lips Garrison, Bcecher and Chcever. They
only talk twaddle to amuse old women; but
| Jefferson Davis comes up to his work like q
practical man, and proclaims direct emancipa-
ton.
The South now occupies the same position as
Virginia did some thirty years ago when
northern abolition first showed its head. Then
the Virginia Legislature had the question be-
fore them. There Is this difference, however,
| that there does not exist the same means Of
getting out of the difficulty as in the case of the
Legislature of Virginia. We, however, have
few doubts that JEFF. Davis will lead the North
in the work of emancipation, and thus leave to
our Congress and Legislature the mere form oil
| constitutional amendment.
