In EnitOme of " Jeff'sr Life.

John Wentworth, at the late Chicago
meeting, said:
Jefferson Davis entered Congress about
the same year that | did. | have met him
often and know him well But there was
this difference between Jeff Davis and
me. | paid for my education, JEFF didn't
for his. He was taken at tender age
and placed at West Point and your father
and mine were taxed to pay the instruc-
ton that rescued him from oblivion We
made the very common mistake of iudg-
ing by his head rather than his heart, and
did not notice the viper that was coiling
there, and which we nursed into life, to
sting us if possible to death. When his
school-bOy days were over. jeff was sent
out west-out west here at the govern
ment expense-and spenta year or 50 sur
veying around Calumet, fishing and
lounging, and shooting grouse at govern
ment expense and eating them himself.
Laughter Ie then married into the
government; his wife being daughter Of
General Taylor, who was supported by
the government; went to the Mexican
war and returned to become Secretary of
War and to villify the gallant soldiers Of
Illinois for their part upon the field OF
Buena Vista For this Governor Bissell
called him out, but on this particular oe-
casion Jeff didn't come out Great
laughter

The Draft.

Contrary to expect Qtions, the draft which
was ordered for this district on the 18th
was postponed until the 26th This course
was found necessary to give those towns
that had filed their quotas time to have
tEeir men reported to the district provost
marshal, that no draft may take place
where the quotas are filed and not vet so
reported The last order, for the draft to
commence on Monday last, we presume
was executed; commencing in such towns
as are making no effort 70 FIJI their quotas,
and leaving until the last such districts as
are trying TO get their men.
To the first draft one hundred per cent.
IS added to the number Of men required
from each town, and if the required num-
Der is not obtained from the whole mum
Der drafted, a supplementary draft will
take place, and the drafting continue I'M
til the quota Of each town is full, or until
the enrolment list OF the town is exhaust
ed The men are what are wanted, and
the men viii be obtained If they are to be
had. All persons who have skedaddled to
avoid the draft VIII be held rs deserters
rs fas- as they are drafted, and treated as
such wherever they are to be found, If in
the United States.
Persons who may be drafted, viii be
permitted TO obtain substitutes, even after
being drafted until they are ordered to the
general rendezvous, or until thev are re-
90 for QrfF rye ].
ties can fill their quotas until the same
time, and thereby liberate the drafted men
from their towns. There are vet men to
be had. and cur advice TO al towns and
individuals that may desire volunteers
or substitutes, is TO be up and doing. The
opportunity viii not always last.

5000 and taking as many more prisoners.
The rebel army then fell back to Strasburg
where Sheridan overlook him and gave
him another severe whipping, when Early
fell back to Fishers Hill, where lie was
again overtaken and again severely ham
died Early's army is about used up, and
fleeing through the Valley by way of Gull
