orodI1. ON SC Last praft.

It's very common inquiry among the
people whether credits will be allowed on
the preseut draft to the districts which fur
nished three and two year men under the
last call. Whether it will be done depends
upon how the present call is looked upon.
IF it be construed to merely call to sup
ply the deficiencies under the LAST call and
that therefore, it is part of the last call,
the opinion expressed by Mr.. Solicitor
Whiting, under date of August 1864, will
not hold under the present call. The
opinion is as follows;
. GThat district which furnishes three
years men now gains at once, on its ae-
count with the Provost Marshal General,
the same benefit on the quota of the next
draft IS slough It had furnished three
times as many men for one years service"
Itmsy slsc be that the government viii
not consider claims under the above opin-
ion until after the termination of the first
year of service under the last call In the
absence of any decision in the mstter, II
will be advisable for all who have defeien-
cies, to 20 to work and recruit as rapidly
as possible.

We lay before our readers the most sig
nifcant passages from the speech of Wen
dell Phillips. Though not abounding in
the humor and brilIiancy of some of his
efeEts Iisr me iReaB4iBaIafsin In &al4c.aRg gap
piles hold of the great question of Recon-
strue!ion. It cannot be gsinssid that the
views he expresses in regard to giving citi-
zenship to tho negro, aresubstantially cor
rect. Men may shrink from accepting
this as one of the consequences of the war,
their prejudices may rebel against, and
their sense of justice be too blunted, to
sanction it. But yet, to this complexion
of things are we being driven. Thenegro
must continue 70 be a slave, or for his own
protection, citizenship must be given him.
Some may endeavor to interpret the
speech of MIR. Phillips as favoring miscge-
nation and other evils offensive to polite
people. We do not think Mr.. Phillips fa-
vors the doctrine, but even if he does his
views on Reconstruction are entitled to the
careful attention of every American citi-
zen. The whole speech is replete with in
terest and is an earnest and eloquent pro-
test in behalf of the black race.

The value Of tho cotton taken at Sa
vannsh is estimated st about eighteen
millions of dollars. One suggests that it
be Immediately shipped by the Govern
ment to Europe, and that the gold OBJ
tained for it be deposited in the Treasury,
with view to an immediate return to
specie payment. Another suggestion is
that it be sold here at home for the pur-
pose Of reducing the price of cotton goods.
If the Navy had taken it, it would be q
lawful prize to sn that had taken part in
the capture. The question, therefore, nat
urally rises, Why should not the poorly
paid soldiers Of General Sherman's army
be allowed 70 reap the profits arising from
their toilsome march through Georgia 7
Is there any good reason why the army
and navy should not be put on the same
level with respect to prizes2 The small
consideration of thirteen dollars month
is what keeps thousands from the army.
The prospect of prizes, SIS in the navy,
would be an additional inducement. 1t
would produce strictAr accountability in
high places. It would encourage skill
bravery and perseverance among the sol
,diers. Indiscriminate plundering would
give way to legitimate and thoroughly
organized system. If the army of sher-
msn could answer the question, What
shall be done with the Savannah cotton ?
they would say, Let us have it. r~-

Charleston Alarmed.

The ferocious fre-eaters of Charleston
are getting nervous over the presence of
Sherman in their immediate neighborhood.
General Ransom, commanding the rebel
forces at that point, has issued an order
prohibiting al non-oombstants from enter
ing the city, except to pass through it to
the interior. All slaves, whose owners
live out Of Charleston, are to be removed
from the city. The little nest of treason
