TIE DRAFT-In case the President
calls for 800 600 more men Indiana's quota
will be about II 900, from which we will
deduct our excess of 800, leave the actual
number to raise about $500 OF this
number =, 800 will be drawn firm deficient
townships and 5000 will be drawn from
all the townships of the State in proportion
to the number liable to draft in the respec-
tive townships If the call should be for
SOC, 900 men, than the States quota would
be about % 500 which would leave us,
after deducting our excess, $4,000 men to
raise, $500 of whom would first come from
the deficient townships and the remainder
from all the townships of the State.
BY this arrangement every township
stands on its own bottom. Its excess will
be deducted from its quota or, if deficient,
its deficiency must be made good.

THE RARITAN BAY sonEME.

Horace Greeley appeared here to-day again,
aud, 1t Is rumored, on behalf of the Raritan
Bay scheme which Is before the Senate. 1t
stands but little chance Of passing, as the SEN
ators consider 1t a lobby operation Of Wall
street, and 1t involves issues that 1t will not do
TO create discussion upon In the different
States. If this scheme were carried out it
would vltiate the charter of every railroad in
the United States. Mr.. Greeley has, no doubt,
been inveiglcd into this scheme by designing
men,"
We find the above among the Washington
dispatches ofthe Philadelphia Inquirer of to-
day. II is true that Mr.. Greeley is In town,
but we are surprised to learn that he is here at
work In "the lobby" in favor or against any
measure whatever, especially such gigantic loo.
by.jO6bin0 scheme as he "slboU route" because
the Tribune, If we mistake not, has always op.
posed the theory that Congress Is the open
court OF the nation, before which every citizen
OF the United States has the right to practice
relative to any subject legltimatoly before it.
1t would be highly inconsistent for Mr.. Greeley
TO practice in the Congressional lobby, unless
he has changed his former opinions.

HEADQuARTERs ARMY OF THE PoToMAo
June 1873 p. m.-The lighting yesterday was
very severe along the greater part OF the line,
the most determined Efforts being made To
break the enemy's line at several points. But
little ground was gained, however, except on
the left, where the enemy were forced to fall
back TO an Inner line on account OF the hd-
vancsd position gained by Ledlie's division, oi
Burnside's corps, on Friday afternoon.
The enomy's line is nearly In the form OF a
semicircle, with the ends resting on the Apo
mattox riyer-Petersburg about the centre.
At some points Of the line our guns are with
In mile and a half Of the city, and 1t can be
destroyed at any time with ease.
The heaviest lighting occurred on the right
centre, whele Q each division Of the Cd corps, at
different hours, charged the works In front, but
Without success, the enemy being behind breast
works OF the strongest character, with troops
massed behind, and our men having to cross
open fields Of 200 To 400 yards In extent, ex-
posed to q cross fire from batteries planted so
as TO sweep the entire space.
The last attack was made at 0, p. m, by the
Sd division, under Gen. Mott, and their loss was
probably heavier than In either Of the others.
Gen. Pierce was wounded while gallantly lead
ing his brigade in the charge. Gen. Martin.
dale, on the right, attacked the enemy, and
succeeded In taking few prisoners. His loss
is reported at about 500.
The 5th corps did not lose heavily in their
advance In the morning, but lost considerable
in the afternoon in their attack on the left.
Our loss during the past ten days will reach
at least 5000 in Killed and wounded.
The loss Of the enemy at some points was
greater than ours, but being generally behind
their entertainments was not so much exposed
and Of course suffered less on the whole.
All the prisoners taken SO far (some !, 200, o.
whom about 200 came in yesterday,) represent
themselves as being in Beauregard's army.
The following changes have been made;
Gen. Ingalls has been designated as the chic
