How We are Making Peace.


Col. Frank WolFprd said with force and
truth 10 recent speech at Richmond,
Kentucky:
eve have had a war of more than three
years. duration, which has ell the time
been getting more gigantic 10 it's proper
tons. Our army still grows larger. The
number of our slain Still increases, the
deep dark spirit of revenge still widens
end expands, and the horrors Of war grows
more numerous and more horrible. There
is no prospect of peace. Let me ask whose
fault 10 IL that the war 10 not closed, and
the Union savsd Z It lie not the fault Of
the officers Of our army, for they are faith
ful aOd skillful. It is not the fault Of the
soldiers. for they are noble and brave. Our
army has proved lie skill and valor by de-
feating the rebels on numerous battle6elds
and capturing several Of their armies. L,
has done its duty and lite whole duty. The
eonqussts OF our army has been surprising.
We have taken yoseession and now occupy
aAfgs portions Of rebel territory who-hass
captured Nasbville, New Orleans, vick-
burg, Knoxville. and planted the stars and
stripes on the distant Valls of Atlanta; We
have driven the rebels to Petersburg aud
and Richmond. and will. I hope, soon have
possession Of both b0t still the war goes
on with uDabated fury, aod large drafts
are making to furnish men for the field.
The fault 10 not in the people. for they
have furnished men and money to carry on
the war withous stiot or measure. The
fault 10 in this: The President and bis
connsslers and party, those who rule the
Congress, have not had sense enough %
zee the difference between whipping 40
army and cOnqueriug people. The rebel
army has often been whipped, but the
Southern people are not conquered. MOI

THE DRAFT.

What, in our Nations hour of gloom,
Wells all from earth to Heavens dome
With ten.fold deeper, darker gloonii
1t is the Draft,
What sends our sons to foreign lands,
Disturbs our dreams, perverts our plans
And cen the stoutest heart unmansl
Why, tits the Draft.
What makes our piOus mothers pray
For obs, instead Of slaves, and say
Leave rs our darling boys, and they
May niggers draft
What makes our sick men practice wiles
To draw their names from Provost's files,
And ask the Surgeons If "STcen piles"
Exempt from Draft1
What's working out that pArty's fall,
Which on rich spOil's has grown 30 tall
Crowds cen their GreeleyS to the WALTZ
Daft after draft.
What cuts them down, midst sin and crime,
Fit burIssque for the poets rhyme,
by-wOrd for all coming timer
The DRAFT, the Draft.
What lays poor Abraham on the shelf.
Despite by tAx) his ill-gOt pelf,
And leaves him there to hate himself
Oh, tits the Draft.
What heaps of wrath, 70 block his way,
Are stored against election dayl
For with curse the people say.
Wen end his draft.
IT'S Niger policy, all know,
That's caused this nations overthrow;
Caused war, with all its train Of woe,
And wharf.-the Draft.
But soon elections coming tide
Will this foul faction override,
And Little Mac" will then preside
To end the Drafts.
