where these are in existence, are used in

Aliens are exempt. An alien, Ia the
meaning Of the law, is a person born un-
der foreign government who has not
/ fled a declaration to become citizen, has
never voted or attempted to vote and who
has not held an Office, civil or military, in
this country. The fact of the alienage
must be made to appear 10 due form, sup,
ported by the sworn certificate of two per,
sons not themselves aliens, who state that
they know the party and believe bis state

Persons who have been two years in

Substitutes before Draf.-As the law
DOW stands, only persons not themselves
liable to draft can become substitutes for
enrolled men before draft. OF course for
such We must look to the list of exempts
persons under 20 and over 45, aliens.
and such as have served two years since
the present war.
1t should not be forgotten that the reg
ulations require that man who offers
himself as a substitute for an enrolled
man, must prove his nonliability to draft
in the same way that he would be lequir-
ed to do it if he were drafted, and claim.
ed exemption for the same reason.
Ii should be borne in mind that in all
cases Of furnishing substitutes in liu of
draft, the principal is exempt only so Iorg
a. tho oubotiUuUe Is not liable, not exceed
ing the time for which the substitute
shall have been accepted. If the substi-
tute enIists at nineteen years and five
months of age, the principal is exempt
for seven months. If the substitute be
over forty FIVE years of age at the time of
enlistment, the principal is exempt for the
term Of enlistment of the substitute or
for less period if Congress should mean,
while make men over forty five liable to
draft. In the case of an alien substitute
the principal is exempt for his term of en-.
listment, although the alien himself may
determine his principals liability by filing
a declaration of intention to become
citizen, voting at election or holding an
Office civil or military.
Substitutes after Drgh.-Persons
themselves liable to draft, may enlist as
substitutes for drafted men, but in such
cases the name ofthe principal sballagain

on future calls, but not until the present
enrolment shall be exhausted. IF draft.

The EnpA1 HANp-AN ENGLISH VIEW.

"Midwinter," says the London Daily News
of January Sd, "briugs no pause in the shock
and hurry of war in the American campaign"
and the came paper adds:
fthe North still remains able to keep up
its armies to at least their present standard,
while the South cannot renew its regular
forces, nor rouse the patriotism OF its mem
bers to further sacrifices, it is evident that the
end is at length coming within sight. 1t must
not, indeed, be looked for suddenly. A great
and tried army like Lees cannot be suddenly
disposed of by any opponent less than Napo-
leen. Even Hood may rally portion of his
force, and make a stout fight still in the strong
positions ON the Tennessee. But, on the other
hand, it is impossible not to see in the ac-
coutns of the fighting that now reach US that
knowledge Of their fate has greatly altered the
morale Of the contending forces. There is at
once dash and a stubborn energy in the at
tacks of the Federals which were not traceable
in their first encounters; while the Southeners,
whose wilder manner of life, whose reckless
contempt of death, and whose skill as shots
gave them in the opening of the war distinct
superiority, now fight as brave men do, who
are ashamed to yield, but who yet know they
fght 10 vain. And those who are still with
Hood or Lee are, it must be remembered, the
] hsartiest who are left. They are those who

doubted not efsuccess, and who shrank not from
the dangers and suferings necessary to ensure
1t. When these begin to doubt the end must
be approaching.
But the facts we have been reviewing not
only show US the end of war but they open to
us happier prospect of what will be after the
war. The theory advanced by some of our CO.
temporaries that the North could never hold
the South, even after the Southern armies are
beaten from the field is plainly unteuable-
The fiery spirits will be gone, and those who
were too Indifferent to fight will certainly not
have energy TO resist when the fight is over
1t is to be kept in view that there is, after all
no difference of race, of speech, or law, TO
maintain a feeling of hostility. There is moth
ing to prevent Northern settlers from ANAL
gamating with Southern residents The ne-
gro question being settled, there will be moth
ing to maintain distinction between the two
sections. Engaged in the same pursuits, re.
sorting to the same courts, electing members
to the same legislature, there win be nothing
in this case resembling those in which nation
is overran and deprived Of its rights by an
alien power. Southerners will recover their
rights by submission, they will stand on
footing of perfect equality with the victors.-
We all know how rapidly, when the High
landers Of Scotland had been disarmed, they
became among the most loyal OF their fellow
subjects. Yet their case was one in which
there were fundamental distinctions between
them and their subjugaters not to be found
between Federals and Confederates No
doubt there will be an intervening period in
which military law must prevail till perfect or
der is restored. Those who make the pretense
of acting as guerillas after the regular war is
over an excuse for numbering and plundering,
must be repressed by the firm rules which in
every country, and under every system OF law,
punish individual crime. This will be an in
evitable concomitant of the period OF transi-
tion from war to legality. But when the foul
dream of building up slave empire is over,
there will be nothing left to fight about and
a people who have nothing to maintain dis
sention about, and who are in the enjoyment of
common rights, common liberties, common
privileges, will speedily unite to put down
those whose disorders will be only common
bane.

IAN ounce Of blood is worth a pound o
bone, and therefore it is in Judging of horse
/ by form and size without reference to th
! quality OF the animal structure, that we are so
often deficient. The size aud form of tht
bones and muscles are indeed important, but
| the main point to the strength and activity
Of the animal, is that they are hard and close
grained.
It has been demonstrated by many expert
ments that the thorough bred race horse 1vH
stand under a lO0d that no mOngrel horse can
bear. The bones of the common horse are of
honey y-combed structure, while those of the
thorough-b bred are close grained and nearly as
hard as ivory, and actually weigh more, though
much smaller than those of the cart horse.
The object Of the article to which have re-
ferred is to impress upon those who breed
horses the Importance of encouraging the diff
fusion of the blood OF the English race horse,
10 order TO secure good cavalry horses. 1t is
equally so, for the production OF all horses re-
quired TO go" The draft horse is valuable in
his place, but his form and especially the quail
ty Of his bones and muscles render him unfit
for action. There is danger that our breeders
influenced by temporary demand for these
horses will change the whole horse stock Of
the country, until we shall have no horses
suitable for readslers or the saddle
do not wish to discourage the breeding of
draft horses-to limited extent they are quite
desirable; but to lose sight of the great fact
that it is the blood horse that gives us the
action, spirit, endurance and intelligence requi-
site for the cavalry service for the useful horse
for general purposes would be not only ex-
ceedingly injurious to the country, but would
also in a short time, prove most Improbable to
breeders.
Great mistakes are made in selecting mares
to breed to these large, slow moving horses
Large coarse mares are supposed to be Just the
thing, but the produce of such a crop seems
really to be coarser and to have less action
than either sire or dam. Such mares should
always be bred to the most ''wiery," active and
compact horse to be found. The thorough
bred horse for the causes already stated will
be sure to give satisfactory results here.
The colt instead Of the dull and stupid eye
Of the dam, indicating a sluggish temperament
and bad disposition, will have lively and in
telligent xpression-instead of soft and
spungy bone and muscle, will show the firm
and close texture of each by quiet and elias
tic step which enables it to tread all day with
out fatigue.
OF this blood were most of our stallions in
Ohio thirty years ago--the Messengers, Eclipse,
PacoIeta, Diamonds, Whips, g., and to them
are we indebted for the excellence of our
horses. Recently this blood has been neglected,
aud the consequence is, as intelligent horse
men know, that our stock while still fair in
appearance, has been rapidly running down in
all those qualities which qualify an animal for
action and endurance.

Went the camp and field 10 take
Cheered no doubt with thoughts Of soon returning
To the much loved friends again,
On he went, till death appearing,
Took our much loved soldier home.
Till about his time expiring,

But ere he left the field Of battle
How sad the thought that he must die.
Oh then came the news, heartrehding
He was dead, forever gone,
And that noble, fair young soldier
They did lay beneath the soil
Then the hopes OF his returning
Was " thin your poor hearts crushed,
The glad, the noble, welcome voice
Is, you know, forever hushed.
No that sick and weary soldier
Will ne'er greet you at home;
For he's found place of rest
In that bright, and heavenly home.
Though it be a heavy burden
Almost crushing your sad hearts,
Still remember, mourning parents,
1t was God that bruised your hearts.
His will it was that death should claim
Your much loved, brave soldier son;
And his will too that you should not
Even behold his dying form.
