THE DRAFT.

Its said that the quota Of this county
for the next draft is 4S0. II is sail also
that the draft is to be made from the old
enrolment that the names Of those ex-
empted on account Of physical disability
or stricken off for other causes, will not
be taken from the wheel
We have heard the quota OF but few
districts, as follows Clearfeld borough,
81; Curwensvile, IS; Pike township, q +,
Lawrence 81. Double these numbers are

kable in this The draft is said to be for
the deficiency on the former draft. How
can the deficiency be greater than the origi.
nal NUMBER For example; take Clear
field borough To fill the quota for the
10000 men, 2S were drafted-l4 TO go.
II was then ascertained that the borough
vas entitled to credit Of 10, which lief,
but (which number were sent. This,
il was understood, filled our quota OF the
100000. Now. when 800 900 are cal'ef
Tor, 10 make up the deficiency, which def
cheney must have been created by othel
districts and counties failing to fill ,hei
quotas, the quota Of the borough is over
hvs times greater than twas then. In 9th
er words, the deficiency is more than fv,
time. greater than the original quota.
After deductipg the exempts, and thos,

command. Our loss is given Il about l.
600. The rebel loss supposed to be about
the same. Our forces, after three uneffec-
ual efforts finally drove the enemy from
their breastworks and pursued about four
miles, when the rebels made stand, and
IN turn drove our forces back over The
same distance, causing, as the accounts
say, "almost panic," when night put an
end 10 the contest. The next day, (if We
read the account correctly, which we con.
fess is good deal mostifed,) the contest
was renewed, and resulted still more dis
astrously to the federal side. consid ering

that our loss was over LOO, out OF al tout

and submit Internationally to the laws
and Constitution of the United States.

would exert himself to make the condi'
tions as favorable to the people OF the
South as possible, but he could not inter
fere with the laws or Constitution OF the
United States. The question of slavery
had passed beyond bis control. The abo-
lit;on had been decreed by the Congress s
of the United States, and would be rati
fled by the Legislatures Of The loyal States
without exception.

General Sherman

A correspondent OF the New YORK World,
who visited General Sherman at Savan-
nah says:
In the course Of his conversation, the
General said Gotten sharks had brought
ruin on the'country and the army. and he
was determined TO hang all he could lay
hi, hands on. lie was in favor of exclud-
ing trade from captured cities, and con
yerting them into military posts. lftrade
was permitted in the captured cities he be-
lieved the rebels would gain more than
they would lose by their capture. The
opening of trade in Memphis had given
Forrest all the supplies he wanted, and
ten to twenty thousand men besides. lie
expressed the opinion that tho pressure OF
commercial class would prevail but he
deemed it his duty to protest against
opening the port of Saysnah 10 American
commerce.
In reply TO q suggestion that he was
popular, and that the Administration
would not thwart any measure OF his, he
said he should lie popular so long as he
was successful but if, in the campaign
he was about to undertake. he should
meet the combined force of Lee, Beaure-
gard, aud llardee and fail he would be
dragged down from the pillar Of fame to
rot in obscurity in scme remote coruor OF
the West and the grea. general would
be failure-and impos,er.
In reply to q question whether he did
not think the war about ended, he said I:
"rhe war is only about to begin TIE poll
cy of giving up their sea and river.coast
cities, although taking away some of the
prestige Of the Confedercy, is making IL
materially stronger than if hey retained
them in their possession. While open
ing of the same cities to trade by the Fed
eral Government is efficiently supplying
the rebels with all the goods they used 10
receive by blockade-rupners, Mt cheaper
price, and with less risk and inconven
iepe to themselves"
