FILLING QUOTAS.

The Boston Daily Advertiser confesses that il
waa not without deep feeling of modification that
its editors read the letter of Gen. Sherman, ami
madverting on the policy of " filing the quota

1t is natural that fair minded men should take
the view they do in this matter, for it is UNDER
stood that the representatives of Massachusetts, in
the popular branch of Congress distinctly refused
to for the repeal of the Communication clause in
the preceding CONSUMPTION act unless such repeal
accompanied with permission to recruit in the
Seeded States. And the Governor of Massachu-
sets was the first to perfect his machinery for
respng the advantages to be had under this pro-
vision.
The letter of Gen. Sherman has served, it would
seem, to remove from some eyes the scales which
had before prevented them from seeing this SUBJ
ject in its true light The Advertiser now says:

Doomed White Prisoners.

Thirty-fve thousand federal soldiers,
white men, are left by ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
in direct violation of the pledge of his
Commissioner of Exchange, to waste away
and die ct the rate of one hundred day,
in an open field in Georgia, all on account
Of the negro. The New York Times adj
mits the number of negroes for whom the
lives of hundred white men are offered
up as daily sacrifice by ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN is the "merest fiction" The Spring
field (Mass.) Republican, one of LlscoLN's
organs, says:
We might recover all our white soldiers in
rebel hands by the proposed exchange, and yet
hold large balance as hostages for the colored
soldiers, while their status Is in controversy.

thousands of white soldiers languish and
suffer in Southern prisons, while the WASH
ington authorities are coolly discussing the

vantage if he does not know that the record OF

The above are from DoNNzILYs speech
on Reconstruction, and prove Saat he is
pledged to asubjugation of the South and
q continuance of the war for that purpose.
In the same speech Mr.. DoNNE1LY says:
Upon what does the dynasty and the nobility
OF England now rest but upon conquest
cation which has remained unquestioned for
nearly thousand years7 Upon what, until
the close Of the last century, did the dynasty
and nobility of France rest but upon similar
conquest and subjugation7
So we are to have a LINCOLN dynasty,
and a nobility founded on a subjugation Of
of the South. And pray, Mr.. DoNNE1LY,
what kind of handle to you expect to
have to your name? Is it to be the Duke
1gnatius, or His Lordship the Earl of Min
niger. The Irish will take notice that
DoNNErLY approves Of the subjugation OF
Ireland by England.

clifton policy prolongs the war; creates
the necessity for new drafts and great

ton; increases our national expenditures;
rolls up our already enormous public debt:
and grinds the laborer, the mechanic and
the farmer into the dust BY crushing bur-
den of taxation. II we elect LINCOLN, we

Invasion OF Missouri.

Old "Pap PRICE" has again invaded
Missouri with a force variously estimated
at from $4,000 to 10000 men, which will
probably be augmented to some extent by
rebel Missourians. It is stated also that
Gen. MAGRUDER is moving up from Texas
with large force The military authori-
ties had notice of PR1oE's advance north
ward some time ago, and withdrew Gen.
A. J. SMITHS command from an expedi-
ton then moving through Mississippi A
portion of this command, under Gen.
MOWER, was sent to reinforce Gen.
STEELE in Arkansas, and the balance,
under Gen. SMITH, went to 81. Louis. Gen.
MOWER, it is said is moving up from Ar
kansas, in PRICES rear, while Gen. SMITH
who was in his front has fallen back to
Jefferson Barracks, about twelve miles
from St. Louis. The rebels occupy all
the country up to within about twenty
miles of St. Louis, and are committing
great depredations and outrages on the
people. The shooting Of thirty-seven vet
eran United States soldiers in cold blood,
was fendish attrocity for which ter
rible retaliation will doubtless be meted
out to the rebels. Old PRICE appears to
enjoy an almost unobstructed career
at present, but this cannot last long.

Exempting Drafted Men.

1t is important that people should know
and act upon the information that when
the draft is made in sub-district. il should
not stop, but rather stimulate, recruiting
therein. The circular from the Provost
Marshal Generals Office, dated September
Is, and issued respecting this draft, con.
tains the following paragraphs:
If the quota of any sub district shall be en-
tirely filled by volunteers, after the draft, but
before the drafted men are sent to general rem
vezvous, then the drafted persons win be ex-
cused.
Volunteers will be accepted and counted on
the quota as well as drafted men until it is fill
ed and when thus filed, and before the draft
ed men shall have been sent to the general rem.
devious for every additional volunteer muster
ed in, drafted man will be excused, the per-
son excused being taken from the bottom of
the list Of those drafted, in the reverse order in
which they were drawn but in no instance
will substitute be exonerated or excused.
Qualified substitutes may be furnished by
drafted men up to the time they are to be for
warded from the general rendezvous
Local authorities may furnish substitutes for
drafted men up to the same period, and de-
signate the person for whom the substitution
is made. . .l&5 alt

Land owners should remember that
President LINCOLN has made q debt Of
four thousand million dollars, which your
houses and farms are mortgaged to pay !;
and that you have to add to this tho debts
Of the individual States remaining in the
Union, now amounting in round numbers
to one hundred and fifty million dollars,
besides at least an equal amount to clear
yourselves from the draft. Two years
more Of war under the Administration Of
LINCOLN will double these sums. The
wealthy capitalists Of the East will absorb
the United States bonds on which no
taxes are paid, and you will be left to bear
the burdens alone. What will your lands
be worth under such onerous taxation az
must inevitably be put upon them.
