under this last call how many have had

If this war is ever to be fought through

country must perform its own high part.
Its influence is above all other influences.
1t has more power than elsewhere exists

this terrible crisis. and to rouse the PEG

it's persuasions are worthless without ex-

more soldiers gone to the war than from

nearly the same thing may be said OF

CURED last Thursday. The rebels in
large force attacked part of Hancock's
corps as they were engaged in tearing up
the track on the Weldon road and one of
the fercest fought battles of the war en-
sued Reinforcements from the 9th corps
turned the scale of battle and we were
declared the victors With little larger
force the victory would have been decisive
and probably ended the struggle for that
line of route. But as the rebels barely
lost the battle we may expect still further
assaults. But we hold SO strong posi-
tion that they cannot drive US from it, be
their assaults as many and desperate as
they please. Gen. Sheridan reports that
the rebels seem to be falling back from
his front. Lee needs all his forces
now, and probably he has sent for EARLY
to hasten back to the rebel capital. Sher.
idan will keep sharp watch upon his
movements, and if he is really retreating
will hang upon his rear and harrass his
march down the valley. The rebels again
give US good news from Mobile, the brief
and bare announcement that Fort Nor
gan is in the enemy hands. ~ Farragut

to use his name, and it is thought he
would run fast enough if there was any

EvADING PUBLIC SERVICE A BAD Ex.
AMPLE.
FELIX.

An advertisement appears requesting
the Alumni Of Yale College, iu this city,
to meet " to devise and adopt method of
mutual insurance against the draft" Et
tn Brute! Educated men, too, plotting
evasion and deserti'n. The Republic
calls upon her sons to defend her Unless
she has that defense, her destruction is
inevitable. And yet everywhere thee is
a disposition to get clear of the duty.
How to escape the draft, is the leading
question of the day. All devices are re-
sorted to. The cutters are dragged for
substitutes. Traps are set in Europe.
Negro slaves, who owe to the Republic
nothing but curses. are driven to the res
cue. Anything, anything but straight
forward, personal response to patriotic OBJ
legations The scathing words of Major
General Sherman, from the front the 9TH

deserved This Sinking is disgrace to
the cause, or rather it is dirgracc to the
men who profess to support the cause.
The war for the salvation Of the Republic
is as sacred as ever; no conduct of ours
can make it whit the less righteous or
glorious. But such way of sustaining
it as is fast becoming general throughout
the North, is sham to Northern man
hood. 1t is particularly shame in North
ern educated men.
If we have right to look anywhere
for an unsclfsh and unfinchng devotion
{, to the cause, it is among the men who
have had that training and discipline by
which the soul ought to grow into every
form of moral worth as well as intellec.
ual force. That is complete and gen.

The assurance that SHE RESTS IN PEACE!
