the greatest interest, by the mercantile, as
we'll as political world. The reason for the
importance attributed to these advices
consists in the inference that If the affair
be palliated or endorsed by Lincoln's gov

power on the part Of the United States to

to the right to pursue and destroy every

The Draft.

The wheel of fate has been made to re-
volve and Marshall County has been
drafted. We should be glad to publish a
list of the names drawn for the several
townships in this county, but have not the
space to spare. There were some 900
names drawn, one half of whom will have
to go into the army or furnish acceptable
substitutes. Very few. either democrats
or republicans, who are able to procure
substitutes, witl'go themselves The price
OF substitutes rules high. and many are
unable to raise the means to buy their
man. Much suffering among the families
of drafted men will undoubtedly take
place during the approaching winter, and
we hope that those who are left at Rome
will do all in their power to assist and
make them comfortable The reluctance
II personally enter the service manifested
by those drafted. is proof conclusive that
the people are tired of the war, and the
high prices asked by substitutes is another
evidence of the same fact We have
heard several members of the republican
party say since the draft that they would
no longer support an administration whose
policy is so odious that the people will not
voluntarily sustain it. These men, and

oolurtecrs acre plenty, and they are ask
ing why it is not 40 still. 1t is because
the war has been perverted from its orig.
inal purpose and converted into an engine
of partizan malignity for the purpose of
crushing out all opposition to the reigning
dynasty at Washington. The abolitionists
have taken possession of the government
and are using it to advance their peculiar
do1mas at the expense of the lives of hun
dreds of thousands of men and millions
upon millions of the people money, reck
less alike Of the welfare of the nation and
the liberties of its citizens.
We took occasion to look in upon the
the oceeding at LaPorte and were IA
vored by the Provost Marshal with an
opportunity to wi tness the drawing of the
names for several townships in this county
and have no hesitation in saying that the
drawing was fairly and honestly done
This does not, however remove the
hardship Of The draft itself, and unless the
people desire repetition of the process
they will vote the democratic ticket this
fall and help elect officers, State and Ma
tional, who will pursue policy resulting
in peace and restored Uuion without the
further sacrifice of life, liberty and hap
