for service, the object of the draft would be
defeated IL the draft did not proceed until the
required number is obtained. =
Where man is drafted in lieu of one who
has failed to report, he is not .srequired to
fill deficiency on account of the failure OF
the first party to report, because it has not
been ascertained that the drafted man who
has failed to report would be accepted and,
until accepted, he would not be counted on
the quota, and, therefore, not being counted
his failure to report creates no deficiency,
but leaves the matter in the same condition,
so far as credit is concerned, as if he had not
been drafted. As well might drafted man
claim TO be discharged because an enlisted
recruit who has been rejected by mastering
officer is not creditedupon the quota.
The principle here announced is in accord
ance with the decision and practice OF the
Provost Marshal Generals bureau since its
organization, and it is in exact accordance
with the legal opinion of the Judge Advocate
General of the army, given September 10
1868; and were different rule to be adopt
ed, in addition to the considerations above
stated, il would occasion manifest injustice TO
those States in which former drafts have been
made, and the quotas filed by men actually
put in service, in addition to those who were
drafted and failed to report. Not only THAI
but by a different ruling. all those who have
been drafted to FIJI the places of men who
failed to report would be illegally held to ser
vice and ought TO be discharged.

tive Of the human species which it was
believed no outrage, no act of cruelty.

rer, with usual bOldness. has ventured to
express in print his opinion Of that
charnel-hOuse, and to describe what
he saw within Its walls, while on q visit
Of curiosity to see the incarcerated
Yankees"
He says sThe Libby takes in cap
tured Federals by the scores, but lets
none out; they are huddled I'D and
jammed into every nook and corner;
and at night the floor. of every room
they occupy is covered, every square
inch IN it, by uneasy slumborers, lying
side by side, and heel to head, as tight
ly packed as if the prisoner was a huge
improbable box of nocturnal sardines.
II is truly surprising that some pesti-
lence has not been the result Of this
herding together of human bein q who
are constantly breathing the same im-a
pure air, and who are allowed no out
door exercise. If it should become
necessary to reduce their diet to cold
corn bread, they viii not have strength

What an exposure is this of Rebel
cruelty Whata commentary upon the
boosted chivalry and hospitality of the
South. Thousands of brave heroes,
many of them suffering from the effects
Of honorable wounds or of continued
sickness, are confined in such circum-
seribed space that their appearance
after nightfall, when their eyelids are
closed, and their minds are relieved Of
the agony with which, during the day,
they are afflicted, reminds the facetious
editor Of box Of saFdines; and vet the

II is in admissible keeping with that
! Difference for the general opinion, and
that desire to preserve harmony in ali
branches Of the public service, that
have so signally characterized the TX
ecutive department Of the Government,
that Gen. Bragg has been assigned TO
duty at the seat of Government, charg-
/ ed with the conduct Of military opera
tons in the armies Of the Confederacy,
in place of Gen. Lee When a man
falls in an inferior position, il Is patural
and charitable to conclude that the
failure Is due to the inadequacy Of the
task to his capacities, and wish to give
him larger sphere for the proper ex-
ertion of his abilities.
II, for example, a general has shown
himself incompetent to the command
Of a single army and the conduct of
military operations within q limited
area, it is logical and right to try him
with the command Of armies and the
management Of operations without
limit So, too, when a man has done
well in high position, it is the best
possible proof that he would do better
in an inferior one and il becomes n du-
ty at once to reduce him. Ali sensible
men, therefore, see the propriety Of
elevating Bragg and lowering Lee We
are surprised that q contemporary should
have thought it worth while 10 mention
that this proceeding has not only the
approval Of Gen Lee, but also Of Gems
Johnston and Beauregard
The country would have inferred a.
much, as it has been long understood
that the President does nothing with
out consulting these distinguished lead
ers, specially the last named Since.
however, these little revelations have
been considered fit to be made. we are
happy to have il in our power to add
that while the Generals named simply
approve, there are others who are IN
expressibly delighted, among whom
we may mention Generals Polk. Breck-
inridge, Buckner, Cheatham, Forrest,
and the dozen General officers and the
whole regiment Of field officers whom
General Bragg thought It would BE-
necessary 10 remove from the army he
commanded before it would be Of any
account
We may add that we have reason %
believe that the appointment Of Gen,
Bragg % conduct the military opera
tons Of the armies Of the Confederacy
would have been earlier made and an.
nounced-while Congress was in ses-
sion for instanee-but for the great
anxiety Of the President 70 confer with
General Price before taxing the step.
This, Of course, required time II Is
hardly necessary for as 70 add that the
rumOr that General Pemberton has been
made Secretary Of War is without foun-
datiOn General PembertOn has thus
far failed in only one campaign, and
can not therefore be considered IS

reason to think the present Secretary
OF War Is every thing the President
would have him be
