PREPARATION FOR THE DRAFr-How THE
PEACE OF THE CRY Can BE BEST PRESERVED
1t is quite evident now that there is not the
remotest prospect either Of the abandonment
or postp onement of the draft, and that il will
undoubtedly take place in the early part Of the
coming month. There are some apprehensons
that the enforcement Of it will be, TO some ex-
tent at least, resisted in this city, and that
onflict between the conscrpis and the authori-
ties will take place that may seriously compro-
mise the public peace, and may, if not promptly
checked, grow into such riots as we had here
last summer While we do not participate in
these fears, we do not presume to assert that
they are entirely unfounded. The most loyal and
patriotic people regard the draft with undis-
guised aversion. and are resorting to every
expedent to escape its hardships personally;
while, as to the copperheads, Of whom there is
no inconsiderable infusion in our midst, there
is no saying 70 what lengths their resistance TO
the Conscription act may extend.
Under these circumstances it is the duty Of
the authorities, whether federal, State or
municipal, to take proper precautionary mea-

LEAVING THE CoNrEDERACY FOR Goop--We
have accounts of the arrival OF the Hon.
Pierre Soule, late OF the Southern confederacy.
at Havana A number Of conjectures have been
INDUCED in BY The Newspaper press q regard
TO this movement Of a once distinguished citi-
zen OF Rebellion. Some imagine that the
ex-Minister to Madrid is on q secret mis-.
sion from JEFF Davis to some Of the potentates
of Europe. But the unamable relations ex-
listing between the two forbid any such con.
cluson. Others again express the belief that
Mr.. Soule has left the confederacy temporarily
on personal business. Neither OF these suppo-
sitions Is correct. II we can place confidence
upon our latest private information from the
Southland we have no reason to doubt is
accuracy-Mr. soule leaves the Southern
confederacy for the purpose Of fixing his per-
manent residence elsewhere, probably in some
part of Europe, satisfied, like many other
prominent gentlemen whose fortunes have
been allied with JEFF. Davis, that the rebellion
is failure and that their lost positions can be
better regalned In an old country, with fix ed
institutions, than In one like the South, desc
lated by war and ruled with . rod OIL
