THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.


The call by the President for 100000 men.
though not to be enforced BY draft until the
5th Of September, will, by accelerating enlist
msnts, undoubtedly serve to put a large addi-
tionaI force at the command Of our military
authorities almost Immediately. wall of
despair comes up from Richmond that Atlanta
must fall because Of the want of men to defend
that city and Richmond at the same time.
This shows how low the Confederate resources
in the way Of fighting material has been
drained. . sa-
An addition to our force OF 100000 men, or
the half OF that number, will enable US to fin
ish the war this summer and crush ont the
last vestige of the rebellion.
By the provisions of the call those localities
where an excess Of troops has been furnished
under previous calls viii be credited with
that excess on this. Until the 5th of Septem.
Der is allowed for filling up quotas by volun-
teering-the term of service to be at the option
of volunteers for one, two, or three years. At
the end of fifty days draft will take place for
men to serve for one year, to supply any de.
ficiency in the quota.

rHE CRAIa MIoRnsCnpE.

We have frequently desired 10 be the possessor
Of good microscope, but have found the cost Of
one-of the proper magnifying power--to be SO
great that we have been forced 10 leave our in
yestgations and curiosity uusatisfied. The Craig
patent, which has been before the public about a
year, and which is meeting with a most unexam-
pied sale, has given the public an instrument
which combines the desirable qualities Of cheap
ness and excellence. For all practical purposes,
We regard the Craig Microscope, which can be pur-
chased for g., equal TO any compound Microscope
costing $40 to $50 In enc particular, that
important one-it is better, for the reason that
the focus is always adjusted. Under the lens u
t.is instrument, the cheese mite, which Is barely
to be with the naked eye, becomes a respect
able frog; hy's toe-nail, an ugly looking claw !;
q drop ofyiuegar, a lively looking aquarium and
a drop of blood, piece Of elegant mosaic work,
with distinct arrangement Of the corpules in that
OF man and that Of animals. With this little in
strumenl, so cheap and yet so perfect, one may
pursue his Investigations with leisure, and obtain
recreation a. the same time that he IS acquiring
knowledge. We do not believe that 81 can be
more probably invested than in the purchase of
