ENcoURAGING News FROM LoUIsIANA.-The
New Orleans correspondent of the New York
Times says tits every day becoming more ap
parent that gradual change is taking place
in the feelings and political views Of great
part Of the resident population of the former
city. Active, demonstrative hatred of the
North has in many instances given way, il
not to an entirely opposite feeling, at least to
p,ssiveness which promises better things
and bespeaks an openness to conviction and
discussion. Many accommodate themselves
to the new order of affairs, as the prospects
Of the Confederacy grow daily darker, and
range themselves on the winning side. But
whatever be the motive, certain it is that q
regeneration is now gong on, which ere
many years will elevate Louisiana to the
sphere for which she is by nature so richly
endowed.

The. Draft.

The action of the meeting at fremont Hall
Saturday evening, or RAJ ather its want Of action
indicates thatiour citizens are not particular
" anxions that Muscatne county shall escape
the draft which is to take place on the 10th
OF next month. Well, we are not prepared
to say lis not for the best. Notwithstand
ing all We have aaid in favor Of filing up our
quota by volunteering, we confess that we
have all along seen good reasons why draft
should take place. Considerations Of pride
in the prompt patriotism Of our citizens, as
well as desire to see the thlnned ranks Of
our veteran regiments filled for effective SER
vice as soon as possible, would make us re-
joice to see not only our county but every
other county, fill its quota by volunteering.
But on principles Of justice and equality, we
prefer to see the draft enforced. 81, u" &.
The burden Of carrying on the war, has,
up to this time, rested on those whose patri-
otism has prompted them to sacrifice the
comforts of home and expose their lives on
the field of battle, in order to maintain the
integrity Of our government, and to secure to
all the enjoyment Of free Institutions. There
Is, however. large class who have remained
at home, though under as>great obligations to
make similar sacrifices for the common good.
Some Of them openly or, secretly sympathise
with the foe, while many are strangely indif-
ferent as to the issue of the contest. These
must be compelled to share in the hardships
and privations by which are secured the
privileges for which they are SO ungratsful.
This cannot be accomplished so efectually in
any other way as by a draft. Therefore, let
the draft come! H
Our county has made liberal provision for
the destitute families of those who enlist or
are drafted into the service. Poor men who
are taken from their families will have the
satisfaction of knowing they will be well cared
for. The rich can take care of themselves.
All must make some sacrifices in this cause,
and the draft is but fair and equitable mode
Of assigning to each one his duty. Then let
it come. s,,.,.ss s.s :. .... ..,.,...s.... .... 1.
