ytt reared Lnd the result of the election
been announced, when the provost-tnar-ahal
general issued orders for a revision
and correction of the enrollment in all the
Stales ; and from this order and other of
ficial and unofficial announcements and
hints, here is now a very goneral impres
sion in the public mind that another
draft is soon to be made. Under these-!
' circumstances a brief retrospect of what
Lai already been done, or left undone, in
tne way oi uraKing, may uot be uninter
esting to our readers. The people are not
eeneiauy aware oi me tact (and it would
hardly seem that the government itself is
conraious oi iij innt since me 1st oi reo
rusry last, a period of little less than ten
months, the President has issued calls for
volunteers and ordered drafts to Gil quo
las not filled by volunteering, to the num
ber cf 1,200,000 men. On the first of Feb
ruary last, be issued a call for 000,000 men,
and ordered a draft on tbo 10th of March
following for all deficiencies not filled by
volunteering at that 4ate. On the 15th
of March he ordered a new draft for 200.-
000 more men. alleging as an excuse the
? 1 ! 1 - . . f . I .
luiiuvuiuio Dt'crtvmes oi me army ana
naval service. On the 10th of July, ano
ther eull for 500,000 men was made, and
a (kalt ordered for all deficiencies exist
ing on the 5th of September following.
With regard to the first two calls, those of
February 1 and or March 15, various ex
cuses were given by the government and
champions of the administration for thair
not proving effectual in -filling up the
ranks to the extent anticipated. A large
portion of the February call, it was said,
tas dicposed of in settling up old claims
nnd striking balances for excess of men
furnished by various States over previous
oalls ; and as to the ILaroh oall it was al
leged that more than half of that was fill
ed by the re-enlistment orvewraus hIicij
in the service, thus bringing less than one
hundred thousand new recruits to the
army. But the last call in July for.500,
000 men was not supposed lo be subject
to any of shese drawbacks, nnd Congress,
having in the meantime abnlinhed the
$300 commutation clause, and compelled
every drafted man to either go him
self or furnishja substitute, it was uni
versally understood . by the peopie, and
so gifen out by government ollicial. that
thiseall would be effective, aud would
bring to th array all te reinforcements
needed to crush the rebellion and restore
peaoo to the country. From the date
of the call up to the timo of the election
the newspapers were full of theso assur
ances, both official and unofficial, and the
people were given to understand on oil
sides that the last draft had heon ordered,
that our armies were already or soon
would be, amply roinforced, aod that the
end of tho rebellion was nigh. As speci
mens of tba hundreds of newspaper arti
cles and official assurances to this effect,
we will quote the following. On the 2Jd
oT July, four days afior the call, the Aew
York Tunes, in an editorial articlo said :
"Tho immense reinforcements which
will be secured lo themtional armies by
the last proclamation of the President, or
course have a most important tnilitaiy
bearing. They will make these armies ir
resistioly superior to any force the "con
federates" can bring against them, if
Leo's and Johnston's armies have not been
able to prevent Grant and Sherman from
fighting their way through the most de
fensible parts of tho " confederacy " with
lho old levies, it is a sound military con
clusion that when the now levisare add
ed to thorn, it will l iu our power topen
etrate to any part of the South, and, and
to drive the rebollion to its last ditch.
The draft is to take place oo theith of
September. In many, and perhaps most
portions of the North, it will be fully met
in advance by volunteer enlistments. Iu
all, the draft, without serious dilBcull),
will supplement any deficiency m volun
teorine. There is little or no doubt that
before the end of October the enure
force called for will be under arms. From
the time this rosult is attained -we iuy
ay, indeed, from the time when it be
comes apparent to the rebels that it will
be obtained signs, we beliovc, will mul
tiply of a new anxiety on their part for
peace."
On the 28th of July tho same paper
gave the public the following editorial in-
lormation : , ...
"Several of the Stales have credits on
other calls, which will reduce the number
of fresh troops actually supplied by the
rresent call to about four, hundred thous
and men. With the vast addition to our
present forces which will be eiven by this
xsall of the President, every main railroad
now loft in the confederacy," ought to
be, and under tho management of Lieutenant-Gen.
Grant, unquestionably would
ha hpntinht into our control within three

WUAT GENERAL GRANT NEEDED TO FINISH U?
TUB RE11ELLIO.V.
It is no mere poor judgment of mine,
but the authoritative utterance of the head
of ail our armies, that it is in the hands
of the people to end the rebellion at a
blow; Lieutenant-General Grant has de
clared that "if he had now but a hundred
thousand freh men he coulJ, in fifty
days, do up all the fighting that tuods to
be done during the war.,' This in no shal
low heresay; it is the authentic declara
tion of the high name given ; and the sen
timent is affirmed by every military man
1 have latoly met.. Half that force added
lo General Grant's 'own immediate army,
would enable him lo stretch bis lino a
crois lo the Dunvilie road, and positively
compel the abandonment of Virginia; the
other half would put Hoods army into the
hands of General Shermnu. Is there liv
ing patriotism enough left in the country
to evoke lho means fi.r so glorious a con
summation T If there were net, it might
well raise- the question whether such a
people doserved to be saved f The druft.
is designed to give General 6ranl the hun
dred thousand, and three times the hun
dred IbOUBUlid lllm, lig uv. .1. nnnoluda
the war withal. That measure rings thu
death-knell of the rebellion. The leaders
or the rebellion in the South know it; the
nbbettors of the rebellion in the North
know it, and henno their efforts to thwart
it. The draft will be made in spite or
both. Time i' Watuiittv Dispatch, Auyurt

WUAT BECKCTARV S7MXTOS SAID.
The Toregoing was confirmed by an offi
cial dispatch of Secretary Stanton to Gen
eral Dix, dated September 3, in which he
said .
The naval and other credits required
by tho act of Congress will nmount to a
bout two hundred thousand, including N.
Y which has not teen reported yet to
the department; so that the President's
call of July 19th is practically reduced to
three hundred thousand men. Ur:o Hun
dred thousand new troops, promptly fu
nished, are all that General Urnnt asks
for the capture of Richmond, and to give
a finishing blow to the rebel nrmios in
the Cold. I he residue ot tne call wouiu
be adequate for garrisons in forts and to
guurd all the line of communication and
supply, free the country from gurillas,
give security to trade, protect commerce
and travel, and establish peace, order, and
tranquility in evory state."
WUAT CENfRALS GRtVT AXD SHERMAN SAID.
In order apparently to bo thoroughly
fortified for the enforcement of tho draft,
the oovernment urocured from Generals
Granl and Sherman an expression of the'r
opinion upon its necessity, and according -

"I am very gld to her.r the draft will

On tho
' . miegrapiieu 10 uenerai LMxas tol-
lows:
"The draft is ordered to comence in all
IhoRtates and districts where the quota is
not filled ty voluulecrs on Monday, tho
l'.Hh, and will go on until completed.
I oiunteers ana substitutes will bo receiv-
u anu creuiieu i us mieu periou an pos
sible. olunteering is still progressing
with vigor in most of the states."
Subsequently the country was informed
that both tlw private secretaries of Presi
dent Lincoln had been drafted, which was
considered pretty good evidence that the
draft was being enforced to the letter.
Now, '"on perusing the foregoing, pcveral
reflections and inquiries naturally suggest
themselves to every mind.
Fir si. If the draft under lho last call
for 500,000 men was thus enforced to tho
luttor, a the government assured the peo
ple it would lie, and as the country sup
pOBod it had been, what has become f
tho men, and whence the need of another
druft ? We have seen that according to
the lowei-t estimate or Secretary Stanton,
and after deducting all claims and draw
backs from evory quarter, the draft whs to
produce not lesthan 10,000 men, nnd as
"all that Geu. Grant asks for the capture
of Richmond, and lo give tho finishing
blow to the 'rebel nrmios yet in the field,
is 100,000 meg," the remaining 200,000
"would bo adequate for garrisons in forts,
aiid to guard all lho lines of 'communica
tion and supply, free the country from
guerrillas, give security to trade, protect
commerce and travel, and establish peac?,
order, and tranquility in every state."
&cond. If Ibe drall wan n$t enforced ac
cording to the pregraaime laid down with
snob a llouasli oi trumpets uy me gov
em men t, And why should
tho covviiment talk about another draft
.,..ii r.., ii; u.i nnin all imviiit .
untilit enforces the last one in all localities
.un. .lofinipnpy vet remains? It is not
to bo supposed, after lho euipnaui; uou.
anccs ol government officials to the con
trary, that the President refrained from
enforcing lho draft in any locality before
the election for politicrl reasons, and yet
kb hi.v board within a week past of sup-
drafts in Washington, and of
a draft ordered and then postponed in
Kentucky. What is tho meaning of these
reports? is it true that the last draft still
remains unenforced in any part ..of the
country? If so, the government cannot
be too quick in completing it, and, until
they do this, lherBhould bo no talk of
another draft in thoe stales which hove
filled their quotas. Should it eventually
prove true that the heads of departments
at Washington, from Secretary Seward
down, as well as the comanding general
false prophets, and that
another half million of men will be need
ed to do what 100,000 was to do in three
moths, we may then have a worn to Bay

venipiea 10 nrrest the progress of the
frightful inassacrcis in nhich the Jaco
bins were engaging- They thus exposed
themselves to the dangerous charge of be
ing in sympathy with the aristocrats.' The
strife which epsued, a strifo involving life
or death, was one or tho most terribie ro
cordod in history.
JIadame lloland was one evening urg
ing Vergniaud to rally the Girondists par
ty at every hazard in arrest the massacres,
"The only hope of Franco," said sbe "is
in tlio sacredness.or the l.iw. This atro
cious carnago causes thousand or bosoms
to thrill with horror: All the wise nnd
good in France, and in the worlj, will
lise to sustain those whoexpose thoir own
hearts as the barrier to arrest such enor
mities." "Of what avail," was the sad reply or
Vergniaud, "can such exertions be ? The
assassins are supported by all the power
or the street. Such a conflict must neces
sarily terminate in a street fight. The
rannon are with our roes. Tho prominent
or the friends of order massacred. Terror
will restrain the rent. We shall ordy pro
voke our own destruction."
For several days lho strife raced In lha
Convention with the utmost intensity,
botweou the Girondists ami tho Jacobins.
The party which could obtain tho ma
jority would surely, consign the other to
lho scaffold.- M- Roland, the Girondist
Minister of tho Interior, was a man of
great power, but Madame R )!and wiili a
briiliunCV of iro.ailla flal.lnm anrnnamfl 'tim.
pared for bin; his speeches in the Conven-J
uon. r ranee recognizee ner marvellous n
bilities ; tho one n irty rot'anled her with
I adoration, and the other with hato. Pro
jbablynovur before in the history of tho
j world has a woman occupied such a posi
tion. It soon became evident that the
j rS9, r Jacobins would do.oond upon
I Madame Loland. and sho was urged to
escape irotu 1 arU. the heroic woman re-
pfied :

Sho remained in Taris, and soon per
ished upon the guillotine. The Conven
tion consisted ofeiL'ht hmnlred nisn.
Twenty-one or the most illustrious men
oT France were considered leaders or the
Girondists. The Jacobins accused them
of treason, and overawing the m timbers o!
the Convention by a mob, carried the ac
cusation, and condemned them to death.
It was then voted lhat all Poris should be
illuminated in view of tho triumph of the
people. At midnight tho whole Convoo
lion, in procesiion, traversed the brilliant
streets, loading, to grace their triumph,
tbo doomed Girondists. Thuy wero all
then consigned to the Concierperio, there
lo await lho final trral. Summer came ami
wont, whilo illustrious men lingered in
their a dungeons. With fortitude tho re
cord of which has enbnlmcd their tnomo
ries, they stru?glod to sustain eanh other
to meet that fate which they knew could
jiol be doubtful'
At length lho hour of final triumph
eamo. . With the most imposing military
array of infantry, cavalry, artillery, to
guard nnain.H the possibility of any coun
ter revolution, th prisoners wero con
ducted in a long procession, two by two,
to the judgement b ir. It was the 'Mih of
October, At eleven oclocli at niglit
the verdict was brought in, aud they were
doomed lo be led the next morning lo tho
guillolmo. As the sentence was pronoun
ced, one of lho Girondists, Valano, plun
ged his dagzor to his heart, and fell life
less to the lioor. Another in the delirium
of enthusiasm, shouted : "This is the most
glorious day of my lifel" It was midnight
when the victims were condtictod back to
tho Cohciorgeiro, as they marched along,
their voices bursted into tho Marsaillcs

imals to tho flocks and heids has been
very serious this year. We are informed
of rancheros in the lower countries who
have lost hundreds of sheep, horses, and
catllo by bears, lions and coyotes. .These
destructive brutes appear to have been do-
priveii, by the excessive drouth, o. liioir
usual supplies of venison, squirrels, coons,
badgers, oats, acorns and wild fruits, and
have ottdeavored to make up their loss by
waylaying the fattest and younett ianch
animals which have survived the season.
In August and September past, tho bears
in lho mountain pastures o( SanU laibra
and Los Angolos, Lave killed them for
weeks, in groat numbers, particularly cat
tle. The farm-houses in lho San Marcos
mountains have been rodcoed often, night
after night, by grizzlies of tho biggest
breads, and their trucks lie about next
morning as thick as iroia a band of horses.
Their boldness is extreme, and not with
out much dangor, even lo the bcsl hun
ters and vatwos.
Cats, lynx as, li)ns and coyotes have
truly been death on sheep and colts. Hut
what is curious, the coons, during the
summer and fall, have left tho mountains
in great nunahers, nnd descended to the
cultirated lands in Los Angolos and Santi
liaibsra, and eaten up entire crops of gar
dens and fields, and cleaned out egg',
