About the Draft.

The late news from Washington say
that tho President in . short time will
issue another call for 200, 900 or 900, 200
more soldiers. If this is the case, the
draft is probably fxei and certain
event 10 take place in those districts
where their assigned quotas are not
,aised. We are sorry to say that the
quota Of this county is not yet filled, so
far as we can learn, on the calls slready
made.
We have heretofore supposed that if
the State furnished its quota, even in
doing 80 some counties had furnished
more than their par: and others less,
that she would be exempt from the
draft. And We had also supposed that
if draft should be made in the State
that those counties that had furnished
their quota would be exempted even
though some townships had furnished
more than their part and others less.
But from the intelligence furnished US
by the Rev. A. A. Sawin, in his letter
to-day, and by him derived from the
Provost Marshal Of this Congressional
district, it seems that every township
will be held individually to strict &C.
countability for it's action in this great
crisis. No TOW nship that is delinquent
can derive any benefit or favors from
any other township in the county be-
cause the latter had furnished an excess
fmen.
This fact can also be inferred from
the order promulgated from Washing.
ton, Feb. 30, by J. B. Fry Provost
Marshal General. The following is an
extract Of that order to Major Thomas
Duncan, Assistant Provost Marshal
General for this State.
"Be fully prepared to CONNER ce the
draft on the 10th Of March, and to
make it in every sub.district, which
shall not have raised its quota before
March first.''
The draft has been postponed since
this order was issued, but the manner
Of drafting will doubtless remain the
same, and from the above it will be
seen that "sub districts" are to be in.

The law Of which We published an

There has been some disposition
manifested by office and favor seeking
Republicans to change the Administers
ton at the next Presidential election
To do this, they put forward the name
ola very strong man, Secretary Chase.
He has recently written q letter, saying
that he has been waiting 10 hear and
willing 70 abide by the action Of the
Union members ofthe State Legislature
Of his State, Ohio, and since they have
now expressed their preference for
another man, his name must be con

SIGN Of the rebellion.
These dissatisfied politicians have
been at the same time pulling upon
another string, in hopes that tie one or
the other would win in defeating the
nomination Of Mr.. Lincoln. They have
been stirring up the Germans to bring
ont Fremont, and many of,his class are
already quite loud in shouting his claims
to the Presidency, little thinking that
in SO dong they are really the cats
paws Of these Demogogues. They care
but little whether Fremont or some
other man secures the next Presidency,
provided it be not Mr.. Lincoln. They
know that if Mr.. Lincoln continues in
Office, those Of his appointees, who have
discharged their official duties faith.
fully, will probably be retained in their
places, while new President would
make many new appointments, and
these c,iers for place be more apt to
receive especial favors. This is the
secret Of their action. This is why they
IRE fooling the Germans to bring for
ward Fremont, SO as to cndeavor to
show, before the meeting Of the next
National Union convention that the
people are dissatisfied with Mr.. Lincoln,
and thus defeat his nomination in that
convention. We are glad to know
however that thus far these dupes are
mosti, confined to Missouri, where
those claiming to be Union, have been
in a constant quarrel ever since the war
broke out.
We sincerely hope that the intelligent
Germans of other parts of the country
will not permit themselves to be the
dspes Of designing men, but consider
wisely for themselves, if it would be
policy, in this time of trial by our coun-
try, to jar the harmony proceedings
in the least, even by change Of Union
administration, which, would require
some time to understand the real con.
dition Of our affairs, and get its new
machinery effectively at work, besides
its greater liability to make mistakes
than the old administration, for the
want Of that experience aud knowledge
which the old administration possesses.
