One oaious feature of the measure
seems to have been retained by the
House. and no doubt it will he retained
finally. 1t is that by winch exemptions
from the draft may be purchased for
a sum Of money, in amount three hun
'red dollars.


The oppression Of this provision is
seen at glance. The poor only are
compelled to 60 to the war; the rich and
the moderate in means have way Of
relief opened to them.


The dav 1aborer, whose wages furnish
es bare subsistence to his family. will
I've compelled to 60, and leave his family,
without h means Of subsistence.


So with the mechanic, who, with the
strictest economy, has not been able to
accumulate three hundred dollars, and
whose family is dependent upon his
weekly salary.


So with the farmer, who is burning
his corn as fuel because it is cheaper
for that purpose than wood or coal;
poverty has denied him many Of the
necessities of life for months past, and
who dnesnot know where the next cloth
for his wife and children will come from.


These must respond to the draft.
They cannot escape it. Their doom is
written in the Conscriptioa bill. We
would tell them prepare for it if they
would not say we were mockins at them


Inasmuch as no man will 60 who can
purchase exemption, the draft will fall
exclusively upon those whose provcrtv
makes the purchase Of exemption i'm
possible.


No provision Of law could have been
conc eyed to more greatly aggravate the
horrors Of the war.


In some districts of the West, when
the law shall have been executed, a
conAagration might as well have swept
over the land, consuming every thing
in it's way.

See what is. said Of: them abroad Here
is an extract from the London Standard,
one Of the most respectable and influential
journals in the British metropolis. How
can these Yankees feeiwhen they're what
is thus published about them'in sa far of
land, celebrated for its civilization and in
telligence? Says the Standard:


aThere. are men in Missouri fighting like
Red Indians. There are Federals in West
Louisiana making war kebrigapds. There
is not a State in the unfortunate South
which is not by this time Injured to blood
and havoc. One Federal division which
ascended the other day a creek.of the Mis-.
sissippi, destroyed 5is| lessthan q week, plan
tation property valued at three millions Of
dollars, and seven hundred thousand bush
els of corn. The same devastation is being
wrought in Tennessee and Louisiana. The
object of the North is to, destroy by abso-
lutte starvation the brave people which it
cannot subjugate by arms. It is shame
to Christian men, it would be a disgrace to
savages and is worthy of fends. This is
not the only feature of the war which par
takes of the diabolicals. It was but the
other day that an Irish Major General, q
man held in honor in New York, famous
for his incapacity and infamous for his
crimes, distinguished himself by the dehb.
crate murder of comrade in arms. This
is nothing: to graduate in murder would
seem to be a necessary part ofthe education
of Northern general. We do not say it
wantcnly or vindiotively the reflection is
forced upon US by a fact, the narration of
which will cause shudder in every Chris.
tian man who reads it. The Federal Gen.
eral now commandingin.M Missouri has issued
an order of the day, in which he directs
that all Confederate soldiers taken as pris.
oners in that State are to be summarily ex-
ecuted and disposed of by hanging or shoot
ing. This is the way in which the Federal
Americans are carrying on war, which is
abhorrent to God and man--a prescription
so hideous that it makes us blush to think
that these men are of the same race and
speak the same language as ourselves. How
long must Europe look or? How long will
she stand by motionless and accomplishing? ?
By permitting such things without protest
the nations of Europe ora becoming acces-
sorry to crimes so black and SO monstrous
that they blast the very age in which we
live, like the breath Of furnace"

A SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN
BATTLE.-At the battle of Stone
River, Tenn, while the men were
lying behind a crest waiting, a
brace of frantic wild turkeys, so
paralized with fright that they
were incapable of flying, ran be-
tween the lines and endeavored
to hide among the men. But the
frenzy among the turkeys was
not so touching as the exquisite
fright of the birds and rabbits
When the roar of battle rushed
through the cedar thickets,
fOcks of little birds futtered and
circled above the field in state
of utter bewilderment, and scores
of rabbits fed for protection to
our men lying down in line on
the left, nesting under their coats
and creeping under their legs in
a state of utter distraC ton. They
hoped over the field like toads.
and as perfectly tanned by fright
as household pets. Many officers
witnessed it, remarking it as one
of the most curious spectacles ev-

the opportunity this afforded to ride up
to the rebel works as close as he could, to
get good view of them, when he saw a
regiment of the enemy throw down their
arms, and give three cheers, and exclaim

and pistols oyerpowered and controlled
them, and compelled them to take up their
arms, and resume their position. The
same officer at truce entered into the

the dead and wounded, while riding as
near the rebel lines as he could, yet was
hailed by Confederate officer within the
works with the question whether be did
not think upon reflection that he was
coming nearer than was exactly proper
Our officer replied in the negative saying
he had men wounded and killed as near
the enemy as he himself was. A con-
versation that ensued in which the rebel
officer spoke of sherman's charge of the
preceding day, and remarked that inside
they regarded it as the finest thing of the
war. Our officer did not belong to
