SuggestIons for a. Draft.

Since the authorities have discovered th.,
men who are drafted and are unfit for sold;a,.
may yet be made to serve their country aa
hospital nurses and various other capacitie.
have reflected deeply upon the subject. and
am a: length enabled to submit the following
suggestions, which the government is at lii.
erty to adopt or reject as it pleases:
1t is well known fact that blind men hsvs
the sense OF touch more fully devel oped than
those who can see. Drsft few regiments of
blind men to feel the position and strength Of
the enemy. No exemptions granted on the
ground that they "can't see it,"
Blind and lame men might be drafted TO-.
gether, the blind men to 60 in battle carry
ing the lame on their backs.
Men who have lost one or even both Of
their arms, should no longer be exempt
Government is prepared to arm any quantity
of men on the shortest possibls notice.
idiots shouldn't be debarred the privilege
of serving their country in the ranks, when
we have so many among our generals.
Draft all in the lunatic asylum-the mad
der they get the better they fight.
Men who have aged and infirm mothers
dependent upon them for support, should no
longer be exempt. They can send the old wo-
men to the poor house-most of them do any
how.
Dumb men ought to make the most ser
vicable soldiers, as they can't cry quarter"
their motto must be no "surrender."
1t is absurd to exempt fat men. they are
well calculated to fill up the depleted ranks,
o: the army. Ifyou want to crush the enc
my by precipi;ating upon them large bodies
Of troops, let fat men be drafted by all means.
Confirmed drunkards have been objected
to because they are not so anxious to whip
the enemy as they are to have the enemy
treat. A regiment of them armed with rife
whisky, and sustained by battery of deliri-
um tremens, would do great execution-to
somebody.
have not heretofore favored the idea Of
Ora fling the other sex, but brigade of old
maids would certainly be useful in repulsing
the enemy. They are some times good in an
al tack.
By all means draft Congressmen. They
might do little good in the army, and they
are Of no possible od where TREY are.
Editors of war newspapers should be draft
ed in body. They have penped war aru-
cles SO long they should be themselves penn
ed by the 'Articles of War
Conscript all lawyers-the,r charges wo'd
be most disastrous to the enemy,
