gress of Sherman through South Carolina

Sherman has captured Columbia,
South Carolina, and Charleston has been
evacuated. The latter event was contin.
gent on the former, and their can be no
doubt Of either. 1t might be supposed
that the troops were withdrawn from
Charleston to concentrate with those from
other points and make combined resiat.
anco to Sherman, but the withdrawal Of
Beauregard himself from Columbia does
not look like it. Appearances now iudi.
cate that Sherman will make as easy a
sweep Of South Carolina as he did of
Georgia.

How to Fscaps the Draft.

The following section Of the amen
datory enrolment act, passed by the
late Congress, and now law, claims
the attention of every man who is lia-
bic to the coming draft:
SEC. %. And be IL further enacted, That
any person persons enrolled in any sub-district
may, after notice Of draft and before the same
shall have taken place, cause to be mustered into
the service Of the United States such number Of
recruits, not subject To draft. they may deem
expodisnt, which recruits shall stand to the credit
Of the persons thus causing them To be mustered
in, and shall DO taken rs substitutes for such per.
sons, or SO many Of tlom rs may be drafted to
tho extent OF the number Of ssch recruits, and in
the order designated by toe principals at the
time such recruits are thus Us aforesaid, mustered
in.
As the law now stands, any number
OF persons can club together, contri-
butte TO common fund for the pur-
chase of recruits, and in case any Of
the number be drafted, the said re-
oruits can be offered as their substi-
tutes and must DO so accepted by tho
military authorities. OF course, such
substitutes must be persons not liable
to military duty during the time which
they aro to serve in the army. The
suggestion is, there ore, pertinent that
such associations be formed through
out the State, and substitutes DO at
once furnished. Should this course
be adopted tho draft may be averted,
or if not, tho number of mon to be
obtained thereby might DO so reduced
as to materially lessen the burden
which forced conscription is sure to
place upon the community.

THE WAR NEWS.

If the rebel dispatches from BRAoo
to General LEE in relation TO the bat
tie between his forces and those under
General Cox, near Kinston, N. c.,
are true, it 10 evident that the forces
under JOHNSON, which were to oppose
SHERMAN, are much inferior to what
We supposed. BRAoo commanded at
Kinston on the 9th, and had with him
the divisions of HcKE and HILL. The
former is the division which evacuated
Wilmington, andthe lattor that which
was sent from Richmond as was sup
posed to reinforce General JOHNSON.
Yet they were few days ago seventy
five miles north Of Wilmington, and
therefore entirely out Of the way of
SnvRyAN.
JonSsox's army must therefore con-
sist Of but the troops that evacuated
Savannah and Charleston, together
with such militia as BrAuRroAnp has
been able TO collect on HE retreat Il

The inaugural Humiliation.

The same language whicR tho
= ovoSso Press (republican,) in an hon
est burst Of Indignation applied to
langford g. Berry, of this State, may
with propriety be applied to tho illus
trious Vice President, for whom the
.~Puoncans voted without a why or
wherefore" as in duty bound, and for
whose complete Generalization they
may bcjustly held responsible can
other man added to- the register of tho
infsmous." The Cincinnati Gazette,
(ropublican), thus castOrizes this new
republican Vice:
Andrew Johnson, the Vice President
oisot. presented himself drunk at the
great Inauguration ceremony, in the
presence OF the assembled executive
uud judicial departments Of the gov
ernuent, thes representatives of the
people, tho Senate over which he is
10 preside, large concourss Of citizens
from all parts Of the country, and of
the foreign diploinatists and visitors.
De.o.s that imposing concourss he
beloved for half an hour the idiotic
babbls Of a mind besotted by fort
nights debauch. He boosted himself
as sspecimen of the working of Amer
lean Institutions, which brought such
q man as lie to the second place in the
government. lie dragged its proud
est ceremony into the slough of his
degradation, and tnrncd it TO shame
and modification.
This cannot be covered up as pri-
waite inGrnlity. 1t was exhibited be-
fore the world. We have to discuss
1t as a public calamity, aud as ma
tional insult and disgrace which de-
mands relief Mr.. Johnson should at
oaco resign the place he has dishon-
orel, and in which he can never have
tao respect OF any American citizen,
nnd should retire to private life, where
his wallowing will befoul no one but
himself. The nation cannot suffer
the dishonor that man who was ip-
augurated drunk, who drivolled over
the Holy Book as he took the oath Of
otfice, and shamed the nation in the
owes Of the world, should sot to preside
over tho Senate and represent tho
fNrond executive Office. And it can
rot afford to keep open the risk of
such m alternative IN Gaze Of the death
or disability of tho President.
Mr.. johnson made a similar exhi-
bition of himself here, but wo thon

friends to sec to him, or at least it
would have thrown the people at
Washington upon their guard, and
rcrhaps have diminished his opportu-
ni.v for such humiliating exhibition.
We are not inclined to palliate these
remarks by any reference to Mr..
Johnson's previous services. He has
exhibited to the world his unfitness
