THE DRAFT.

New YORK, August 30.-The World s
Washington special says most encouraging
accounts have been received from every
quarter as to the number of recruits now
being obtained In Pennsylvania about
20, 900 men have been recruited, quite as
many in New York, while New England
has furnished 90, coo, and, perhaps, when all
returns are received, the number will be
found even more than this Western States
are also doing very well.
For some time past reintorcements, at the
rate of 1000 per week, have been going for
ward to the Army of the Potomac, and, for
the next two or three weeks, it is expected
that |, 900 per day will be forwarded. The
average number of recruits now obtained
daily throughout the country isabout 300
and this number will be increased to 2,0Ot
OF $500 per day before the 5th of Septem
ber At least $50, 900 men will have beer
raised for the army and navy before the day
named, 10. counting credits or previous
calls, or those arising from former naval en-
listments. Had the call been made fol
300, 900, tits thought the men could easil
have been obtained, but the large call dis
couraged the people On account of these
large additions to the army, efforts will b,
made to have the draft postponed, in tn,
hope that sufficient number of men may be
obtained without resorting to that objec
nable measure.

The Coming Taxation.

The Newark Advocate remarks that the
manner in which the subject War Taxes, is
commonly spoken Of. has led many to sup
pose that their taxes are already quite a.
high as they are likely to become. This is a
delusion which it is As well were cleared away
at once. No tar leuted on real estate By Con-
0re", has yet been paid. For the purpose
of keeping the people quiet until after the
Presidential election, Congress carefully de-
ferred the assessment of Land Tax till the
year 1865. In the meantime, they are run
ming the Government on money derived
from incomes and licences, but mainly from
bonds and greenbacks which. if ever redeem
ed will be paid out of the Land Tax to be
collected regularly after the present year.
1t would have been a much easier plan to
the Farmers to have paid at the time
what was properly due in each Of the thre,
past years. But this did not suit the trick
cry purposes of Congress. They consider
ed it necessary to keep it back until aftc
they could elect another President, and 70
this reason the farmers have as yot paid n
part of the Federal war tax resting like

Colonel jacques,

An abolition parson, and Gilmore, an abo.
lition author, went to Richmond to arrange
terms of peace with the Confedcracy. No
body sent them, they carried no PROPOSE
tions of pactication, and had no authority
to accept any. These two men report that
Davis will accept no peace without rccog,
milton of the independence of the South ;
and upon the strength of this the abolition
lists are everywhere endesvoring to make
the people believe that the war must go on
because Davis will not have peace.
All this is very fimsy. The utterances
Of these solfconstituted plenpotentiaries
are Of no more Importance than the utter.
snces Of any refugee, descrtor, or other in
dividuals from the South, They did not
communicate officially with the Confederate
government, and consequently their con
clusions are of no more account than thos,
Of buck African.
Their report may DO correct, or it may
not IL is not n matter of tho slightest i'm
portance in either respect. Two individuals
from the North hold conversation Will
two individuals of tho South, and now tn,
administration journals are claiming tina
this conversation should be accepted as con
elusive evidence that the South will accep
nothing less than their independence. How
silly Abe Lincoln and his hirelings must be

Horrors aG WAN

~, The following letter speaks for itself
The writer is the youngest daughter of tb,
Hon Alexander Il. Boteler, of .jotJarsnr r
Co., Virginia, detailing to her sister ,bo ,I
burning Of their home by order of General
Hunter, and also the residence of Edmund
j. Lee, whose place adjoins Mr.. Boteler's, s,
Fountain Rock, alluded to below, belonged
to Mrs. Boteler. Mr.. X. Boteler, was a
member of the House Of Representatives in
ls60-6l, and was actively engaged with Mr..
Crittendon and others in resisting secession;
but, after the call for seventy-five thou
sand men by the President of the United
States, acted with his State. Captain
Martindale was informed by one of Mr..
Boteler's daughters that the property was
not her fathers, but that of her mother
having been conveyed to her many years
since. She afterward sent word to General
Mrs. Boteler, who was absent from home ut
the time. No one was there except
Mr. Boteler's two daughters and their little
grandchildren. We envy not the man or
men who can enjoy such deeds or commit
such wrongs.

diers of the first New York Cavalry, under
Captain Martindale, came with orders from
General Hunter to burn everything under
roof of the places of A. r. Boteler and
in twenty minutes after their arrival il
would have been dangerous to enter the
house. OF the furniture, we saved two
little rocking chairs and three other chairs
from the porch. This is literally all. The
barn, in which was stored all the hay just
cut--the servants" house and library, with
the books, cabinet of minerals, valuable
gone. The meat house and dairy are still
standing, as the wind blew from them.
Writing this is harder work than thought
it would be, after all | have gone through

The Widow Maker Of the 18th
Century and Republican Cam

Including the last batch of half a million,
since the war began two million seven hun
dred and ninety five thousand men have
been called into the field by the North, or
by the widow maker. And the crusade is
no nearer over by fighting to-day than it
was four years since, aud we veribly believe
that if the affairs goes on for year more
on the same plan as for the past three, the
rebels will force the north to terms. Sew
enty five thousand three months men were,
in the estimation of our rulers and tyrants
full enough to subdue the rebellion. The
difference between the first call and the
number actually taken from their homes to
be butchered and squandered by the fat.
boat tyrant and widow maker, is not greater
than the difference between the aforesaid
national grave digger and the least of all
our former statesman.
| Only ttco million seren hundred and nine

their industrial pursuits, their families and
their country through the fanatcism of
abolitionists, and the imbeclity of the wild

per, who, in his crusade for niggers, has
marked his path with the blood and bones

How much longer will ye stand this in

more of your brave men shall go forth to

more heartstones will We suffer to be made

Let the people talk this matter over. Let
the poor Taxpayer the impoverished la
borers, we care not their creed, nation or

look at the mnions of the tyrant strutting
by in good clothes and face marked with
riotous living--let them look at our decimi-
mated armies--at our waste ields-at the
half empty workshops--at the deserted

The New Haven Croniclc administration
in an article on peace says, The President
in his communication ''to whom it may con
Germ" laid down basis on which he would
listen to any communication from the rebel
government His terms will never be ac-
ccpted by the South; His propositions are
an effeetual bar against peace. He must
modify them somewhat or he will never be
reelected President Many of his warmest
friends are not disirous of prolonging the
war for the immediate purpose of abolishing
slavery. That is going to far The blood
and treasure of the land are too precious to
throw in the balance against the existence

Terrible Disaster ON the Lake
Loss Of Schooner MayliOWer,

From the Sandusky Register we learn the
following particulars of the loss of the
Schooner Mayfower, which left here on
Friday last
From James Sanderson, boy of some
fifteen or sixteen years Of age, the only sur
vivor of all on board, W. learned on Satur-
day the particulars of the Schooner May
fouer, Captain p. j. Averill. of Port Hur-
on, off the mouth of Black River, on Fri
day afternoon last She left Cleveland that
day, with 100 tons of coal for the Toledo
Gas Works. The crew consisted of Capt.
Averll, Mate u Lincoln, both Port of Huron,
and our informant. The Captain wife and
three children were also on board, and his
sister. The schooner was too..heavily laden,
and apprehcnsions were felt for her safety
when leaving port. The run was made to
Avon Point in little over half an hour
| On the approach Of the storm the Cap
tain attempted to make the mouth of Black
River to escape its fury. Failing in this
part of the deck load was thrown over and
much more washed off, the lee rail being for
a while a foot under water the attemp pt made
to take in sail but only with partial success;
she capsized about four o clock, all on board
being swept into the hell Of waters for
awhile all were struggling together to save
themselves and each other, The Captain $
sister caught the boom, while his wife en-
cumbered with her little girl of two years OF
age, caught no support; efforts were made
to get plank for the women, but in vain
the infant, only five months old, was tempo
rarilly rescued and placed in the care OF
Simpson, but was directly washed away
from him and borne away by the wind and
the waves, and at last swallowed up in the
lake.
After very brief interval the schooner
went down, carrying all with her but the
captain and the boy Sanderson. The latter,
by swimming and catching hold of the
mailsail, reached the main-mast and gained
the cross-trees. He attempted to throw a
rope to the captain, but it did not reach
him. He was floating on two matches to
wards shore. The wind hauled round after
wards to the South which would probably
carry him down the lake.
From Il little after four clock to seven,
master Sanderson maintained his hold on
the crosstrees, about six feet from the wa
ter, when he was taken off by the tug Ajar
of Cleveland. The Ajor remained near
until dark seeking to discover Others of the
unfortunates, but in vain. She then ran
into Black River, and left Saturday morn
ing for Point-au- -Pelee. The boy Sander
son went Saturday to Elyria, and from
thence to Sandusky.
The captain little boy of,fve years of
age was asleep and went down with the
schooner
The Maufoper was new, coming out in
June last, and was making her fifth trip.
