State in tact, in order to guard against .cen;.:
fralisation and enoroinhinent upon State by- •
ereignty; as well as to - insure greater efficiency
in the service brstimulating State pride and;
the natural =illation axising therefrom.
The conscription law of the last Congress is
in palpable violation of this wise
,provisibn of
the Constitution. Itz it all State identity is
eradicated. Is estallislica a huge, consoli
dated army. Each regiment, yea, each compa
ny may represent in i ty ranks every State from
which the conscripts shall be drawn.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I would say, if my
voice could have any weight, cease hostilities
for a while, and let us try the efficacy of that
panacea which Would have saved no from the
war, if bad passions bad not been permitted
to triumph-cournosnan.
This word_ seems greatly to offend the stay
at-home patriots and the Government contrac
tors;but not those who bear the dangers,
Frioalone and fatigues of the camp- To them
it is s blessed wore.
Sir, Diety itself (be it reverently spoken) set
the example to our fallen race.
"God so loved the world that He give His
only begotten SZn, that whosoever beliveth in
Him might not perish, but have everlasting
life."
g a mble, stupendous set of compromise of
the adorable Jehovah I
God might justly have left fallen man to
reap the consequence of his violated law ; but,
He "so loved the world" that He offered man
a Redeemer, if, in return, man would give Rim
his heart.
Nature itself is one grand compromise.—
Compromise hr the substratum underlyieg
civilized society—the presiding Goddess that
ministers at the family altar; and; where she
reigns not, there is no domestic happineas.
In the mercantile partnership ; in the par
lors of aaurbanking, and other incorporated
institutions; in municipalities, commonwealths
and nations, compromise is a law which can-,
not be iftbally disregarded, without producing
just such evils as we are now suffering.
Compromise, then. Let us try its beneficent
influence , and if we are told that offers of
honorable compromise would not be accepted,
I answer, let we try; and God will smile upon
the effort.

The Conscription
grein. Act, Of v:the
We have before alluded te. the unconstits,
finality of this act, .and the remorseless cer
tainty with which it fastens its iron band upon
the poor man, while the rich entirely. eicape
its operations, by paying the—to them—paltry
sum of $3OO. We now propose - to look at it
from other points of view. If the object of
the gdministration were really to fill up the
depleted ranks of the army, there can be no
doubt that a constitutional call upon the Gov
ethers of the States' for volunteers would have
beett promptly responded to, and more men
furnished than can be obtained• by the draft:
In corroboration -of this; fact, the Hartford
(Ct.) Times informs Os that the exemptions of
drafted men in various parts of New England
since the commencement of the Federal con
scription, amount to the enormous proportion
of about seventy-three per cent. It is, indeed,
estimated, by many that the exemption will
reach eighty per cent. But we will call it
seventy-three. Of the balance it would seem
that, as a general thing, about twenty-five out
of the twenty-seven have fled to parts un
known, and the strong probability is that in
most of theme eases the fugitives from, their
own homes will make good their own escape,
in spite of the activity of the provost mar
shals, leaving a net result of, at the most, ten
men out of everxhundred drafted, who will be
mustered into the service.
And this in loyal New England. - Is it not
evident Om a larger number could have been
furnished by voluntary
,enlistment? Ilesideta
this, all the bitter feeling engendered by .
forcing men unwillingly from their homee
would have been avoided, and thole volunta
rily enlisting would have entered into the cola_
teat with more spirit, and been much more effi
cient soldiers._
If it is a financial ,xneseure,.to furnish the
means to- pay high salaries to a host of " un
questioning supporters of the administratiOttl'
and fill the pockets of shoddy contractors, it
may answer the purpose,- but is certainly. a
very unfair and unequal way of raising -reve
nue, and in violation of every principle upon
which our institutions are founded. •The poor
man pays his all, or risks his life
.; rich
mall parts with but a mite of his super-abun
dance. The best- mechanic would have to
labor hard for-two or three years, 'and the la
boring man tea, to lea by the $BOO wrung from
him by this eonsmiption, which after all, will
only keep up this Abolition war abant nine
seconds. .
Pt whatever light we view it, it is odious in
the extreinr, and unjustifiable by any exigency
that has afisen, or ihai can arise under our
form of Government. . ,
All governments. Says our Declaration of
Independence, derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed ; and ours, as
founded by our fathers, is peculiarly a govern
ment of the people, with limited powers,
clearly defined in a written Constitution, the
first clause of which is in the following words:
" We, the people of the United States, in order
...
common defence, promote the general welfare,
and scour* the blessings of liberty to otiraolyea
and our posterity, do ordain and establish•this
Constitution for the . United States of Amer-
This then is s government of , the sovereign
people, and the Constitution , they ordained is
the law of the land, binding upon the rulers
temporarily elected to carry out the law, as
well as the humblest citizen. The , people are
supreme, the - administration their servants to
carry out their will. The people may, at their
pleasure, shange the fundamental laWs ; bat
the administration cannot, of right, alter a
single line, or enforce a single law not in exact
accordance with the Constitution.
The government, then, being of the people,
should. be conducted in strict compliance with ,
their wishes. If any measare of the adminis
tration is obnoxious to a majority of the people,
it should be abandoned ; hence conscriptiOn
can never. be necessary, or of right enforced,
in this country. If a war is waged in accord- ,
ance with the popular will, the whole nation
-.will turn out voluntarily to fill the ranks of the
army but whenever : conscription has to be
resorted to it is evident that the heart of the
people is not in the fight, and it, should be
stopped with the least possible delay.
The Draft In Yankeeland.
From all we can learn there will be but few
Yankee conscripts in the ranks of the 3QQ,QQQ,
about to be raised. The Abolition element is
very much in favor of war as icing as the hard
ships are endured and the battles fought by
Democrats—but they have a sincere affection
for tbeir own persons, which induces them to
avoil volunteering or enlisting, and' Ato run
away from conscription or furnish substitutes.
A Connectiout paper asserts that in that State
not more than ore-tenth of the quota will be
forthooMing. Iu Oeston one thousand •loyal"
men (Abolitionists no doubt) absconded in a
single day, and thousands have left New En
gland in the same way. They are opposed to
peace, but they have ne stomach for the fight.
The Boston Heraif says:
"Of the 54 men from Nantucket an 4 tho
Vineyard who have presented themselves to
the Board of Enrollment in New. Bedford, 51
have received exemption papers, twq:have paid
$3OO, and one has Fused."
Out of 53 Conscripts -51 exempts
Governor Curtin
Pliant as Governor Curtin hie been 0 the
National Administration, he has not been able
to secure the good will of all its friends. Per
haps the bitterest enemies he has are in his
•own party. Democrats simply dopise him for
his weakaosaami toadyisai. A large portion of
his own partylate him, and denounce him with
great bitterness. The Pittsburg Gazette, of the
20th, contains a Cruel-attack upon him—the
Dispatch has frequently:rapped him severely
over the knuckles—the Philadelshia Press, of
Saturday, evinces a strong disposition to serve
him as the mariners served Jonah, and the
Telfgraph—whose editor was placed there as
the Governor's friend, and appointed State Li
brarian by him—is MUM „.• Dad signs, your
Excellency, very bad.

FROM. VICKSBURG -OFFICIAL FROM AD
oDOORSOPUL . EXPEDITION DP. RED RIVER
WASHINGTON, July 25.—The following was
received at the Navy Department this morning:
Sze : I have the honor to'intbrei yen that the
expedition I sent into . the Red river region
proved very enceessful, ascending the Black
and the TOUSatrriirera,running parallel with the
Lieut Commander Selfridge made
- the head of navigation, 'rensas lake and bayou
Mackin, thirty miles above Vicksburg, and
'within five Or 'six mites of the Mississippi river.
The enemy were liken completely by 'surprise,
not expecting such a force in. that . quarter.
The rebels that have ascended to that region
Will be obliged to move further back from'the
river, if not go - away` altogether." Limit. Com
mander Selfridge divided his forceis. On Find
ing that the transports, which had been carry
ing stores to Walker's army had'escaped up
some of . the narrow streams, he sent the Men
tion and Rattler up' the little Red 'firer, a
small tributary of the Black, and the Forest
,Rose aid Petrel up the Tenses. The night was
dark; it Was raining 'very hard, aid the Mani
ton arid Rattler succeeded in capturing the rebel
steamer Loitieville, one of the largest and per
haps the best steamers now in the Western
'waters, Up the Tenses, or one of its tributa
ries; the Forest Hose and 'Petrel captured the
[steamer Elmira, loaded with stores, sugar and
lies, for the rebel army. Finding that the
steamers which had conveyed Gen. Walker's
army had returned up the Washita, the expe
dition started up that river, and came upon
two rebel steamers; bat the rebels set them on
fire, and they were , consumed so rapidly that
their names could not be ascertained. One
steamer, loaded with ammunition, escaped
above the fort; at Harrisonbarg,which is, a very
strong work , and-unassailable with wooden gun
boats.' ,It is on an elevation over one hundred
.feet high„ which elevation covers what water
batteries of heavy guns there are. Lieut. Com
mander Selfridge was fortunate enough, how
liver,N to hear of a large quantity of ammuni
tion that had lately item niuileiLirs_reh
- west - orDrattnei; and from whence stlr l ' -; !
visions, cattle, guns,and ammunition are trans
ported. He captured 15,000 pounds of &oath
bore ammunition,lo,ooo rounda of Enfield
rifle, and 224 pouds of fixed ammunition for
gune or rifles, a 30 pounder Parrott gun' car
riage, 52 htuhe of sugar, 10 puncheons' of rum,
9 bbls. of flour and 50 bbls. of salt, all belong
ing to the Confederate government, At the
same time he heard of a large amount of am
!Mafia that had started from Natchez to
Trinity, and was lying in the *Whit' on the
road, half way across. Hedeepatched a boat
around to inform• me of it, but Gen. Ransom,
who had landed a few days before at nacelle,
hearing of it also, sent a detachment of cavalry
and captured the whole. Thus Walker's array.
is leftilmost without ammunition. The officers
and men have shown great energy in this) ex
pedition, and have met with no mishap. They
procured a good deal of information by which
'future movements will be regulated. The peo

CINCINNATTI, 'July 24.—Very late and an thentic intelligence from Gen. Rosecrans' army
proves all the reports of movements of Union
troops upon Chattanooga and Rome to be en
tirely unfounded. The main body of the army
of the cumberland, incluaive of all cavalry, le
still resting and - preparing for another oam
paign along the northern slope of the Cumber.
land mountains.. Huntsville has been visited
but not occupied for any length of time by part
of tiCe cavalry. The only troops yet south of
the mountains are small bodies of infantry
holding points on the Nashville and Chatta
nooga railroad, as far as Stevenson and Bridge
port, on the Tennessee river.
General llosecrarte' headquarters were re
moved on the day before yesterday from Tulla
homa to Winchester. The General himself is
still at-Nashville. As soon as the new &pond- .
ary basis, necessitated the recent advance,
will be fully established, and other prepara
tions reciuired by the peculiar character of the
proposed future operations completed, General
Rosecrans will recommence active work. The
indications are that the whole army will be
again in motion in the course of next week.
The country may rest assured that the summer
will not . be allowed to pass without the redemp-'
tion of East Tennessee. •
Gen. Rosecrans' latest information from the
enemy is to the effect that only. Hardee's - ctirps
remains in Tennessee, upon a line of defences
covering Chattanooga. The remainder of
Bragg's army went southward from that place,
Whither is not exactly known. Bragg himself
is reported to have been called to Richmond.
it is ascertaine I, however, that but from two
to three thousand, partly mounted cavalry,
are left in East Tennessee and Northern Ala
bama, owing to Morgan's expedition north:
With the great numerical ascendancy thus
gained by our cavalry that remnant will soon
be swept away, the rebel lines of cottroutlioa
tion placed at cur mercy, and the road for
raiding incursions to the . heart of Alabama
and Georgia opened.
Gen. Stanly will improve the advantage at
wriich he now has the enemy at an early day.
