How to game 1511,0410 Men.
We invite the attention of the President to
the following short but sensible and patriotic
yaragraph from the Louisville Jamel. ’While
his “ loyal” friends in Pennsylvania are doing
their best to prevent voluntary enlistmenta,
Prentice comes to the rescue, and shows in
four lines how one half of the number of men
required on be obtained. He says:
“ We ain’t know that the President can raise
300,000 new volunteers, but he on place Bull
and M’Clellnn in the field, and that would be
woxth half the number.” -
The Vote In Ohio.
The whole vote cast at the late election in
Ohio will probably foot up over 470,000. Of
this vote Vsllsndighem received 182,000, a
larger number than was ever before given to
a. Democratic candidate for Governor. Allow
ing one voter to each six persons, {says the
Cleveland PM Death-J and that. is a. short es
timate, and the total popnlntion of our State
is two million «EM Jaundndthousandj That. is
a halfminion more people than we had by the
census of 1860. If that vote is honest, our
State has increased in population ate. rate that
is astonishing. The increase of vote is the
most remarkable in counties bordering on
other States. *
President Lincoln Condemning Himself.
President Lincoln said in his Inaugural :
“ Happily, the human mind is so constituted
that no party can reach the audacity of deny
ing any right plainly written in the Constitu
tion. If by mere force of numbers a majority
should deprive a. minority of any clearly writ
ten constitutional right, it. might, in a moral
point of View, justify revolution.”
And yet President Lincoln, since uttering
the above, has over and over again, without.
any proeeés of low and against all law, de
prived many a. citizen of the “ clearly written
constitutional right” of personal liberty and
freedom of speech. It. is President Lincoln
who says that. such an act “ might, in a, moral
point of view, justify revolution.” Suppose we
should any that we heartily concur with him
in opinion—what then !
The Vallamugham Forgery.
The Columbus (ohio)Jourual,on the eve of-the
election, publishedthe "111311311” letter; which
it is said was written by Vallandigham while he
was in the South by order of the administra
tion. Since then it. has gone the rounds of the
Abolition press. In the following letter Mr.
Valhndigham breads it as a “shallow and im
pndent forgery :”
Wmnson, C. W‘, Oct !3, 1863-
Con. Manny: :—I have just been shown the
anhjoined letter, purporting to have been writ—
ten by me while ill-the South; A more shallow
or impudent forgery never was perpetrated. I
new: new, never wrote a line of it. nor did I
ever write a. line on politics or the war to any.
one while in the South. Neither did I ever see
or hear from such a man as " ColonelDCD.
Inshall."
How reckless must he the wretch who could
forge. end the editor who could publish, an
eheord, end at the same time so monstrous a
fabricetion. It is scarce worthy of contradic~
tion or exposure. C. L. Venusmamur.
The only Abolition paper which has noticed
the feet of its being a forgery, as for as we
have my knowledge, in the Cleveland Herald,
and thet paper had the good eenee and honesty
not to publish the letter. We ehall see who
ther the centnl organ of Gov. Cur-tin, and
other Abolition pupere which have given cir
culetion to the forgery. will here the nominees

Medery. The Cleveland Herald, which. by the
13y, is one of the most ndicel Buck Republi~

Opposed to Volunteering.
The tone of ‘the entire Abolition press is
discouraging enlistments under the voluntary
system proposed by the President in his recent
proclamation. These patriots who prevailed
upon the President to issue ln'e Emancipation
proclamation upon their assurance that the
highways and byways would swarm with re-~
oruits, now attempt to paralyze the efl’drt to
increase the army 300,000 by voluntary en
listments, alleging that their preference is for
the draft, and that the voluntary system is a
mere device of the Democrats to weaken them
politically by withdrawing a large number of
their rank and file from home service to the
field. They do not hesitate to make this
shameful avowal. They do not sample to say
boldly that the “plot,” as they call it, to re
duce their numerical preponderance at home,
by voluntary enlistment, shall be defeated.
They tell us, in almost so many words, that
not a single ifiloyul," " unconditional 'Union,”
“unquestioning support” man shall enlist, if
they can help it, and, like cowards and sneaks
as they are, they turn about and call upon
those whom they have denounced and still do
nounce as disloyal and traitorous men, to fly
to the rescue and save “the life of the nation.”
We have no other feeling thancontempt for
these pretended, blatant “ loyal” " Union”
men. . Their President—the mm'to whom they
propose to render an “ unquestioning" sub
mission and obedience, has made a call to re
inforce the army by voluntary enlistment, and
instead of entering heartily into the measure
and calling upon the “ loyal" to rush to the
standard of their country unfurled by the Pre
sident of their choice, they throw cold water
on the effort, and employ language so discou
raging that were any among the reputed H dis
loyal” to use it, they would subject themselves
to summary arrest and punishment. Promi
nent among the Abolition papers pursuing this
course, are the Nomi American and Gov. Cur
tin’s central organ, two presses which have,
perhaps, more than any others, howled them
selves hoarso in protestations of extreme pa
triotism and “ loyalty.”
They favor the draft—mark that l—btosufie
they have the machinery in their hands and
can work it so 89 to relieve themselves from
military pressure, and throw upon the Demo
crate alone the burden of the war, while they
remain at home to reap "the profits which vam
pyre-like they suck from-the blood of their
slain and wounded fellowaoountrymen.‘
This course persisted in, we defy the Gov
ernment, with all the power at its command,
to raise by conscription the force it wants.
Let us assure them of vthis in time. Let the
word once go forthn“ No more conscripts for
the war,” and there is cupower at home, in the
people, to defy all the enginery of the Govern
ment—its military force and its civil processes
—to obtain a single man.
We are in favor of complying with the Presi
dent’s requisition—in favor of filling the call
for 300,000 by voluntary enlistment. and we
look to the “ loyal” press and “loyal” people
to set the example. lay encouraging others to
enlist and giving their on persons to the ser
vice of their country. If they continue to
discourage this—if they refuse to enlist them.
selves or advise their “loyal" friends to enlist,
then farewell the army—farewell “subjuga
tion ”—farewell to “territorial governments ”
and " emancipated negroes," for the cry will
go forth‘—“ Not another man by conscription 1”
unless the three-hundred dollar clause be
stricken out and all drafted compelled to go ;
and we shall then see where the power is to
come from to enforce it. without provoking a
second revolution more formidable than the
first.
Let these hypocritical vaunters of their I‘loy
shy" and patriotism beware. They are strong,
but they are not omniirotent. It is by no means
certain that God is with them, and nothing
short of His poWer can save them, if they pro
who to action the wrath which is now alive
but slumbering.
Senate!" Wilson, the Author of the Con
scription Act.
This Massachusetts demegogne and foul
mcuthed vilifier of Femoracy and eminent
Democrats, is now employed in stumping New
York in favor of he Abolition ticket. He
spoke in the Court House in this city on the
night preceding the election, and many of our
e'iltzens had an opportunity of seeing and
hearing the man. But seeing him, and hearing
him on some occasions, is not knowing him. He
spoke here under advisement and restraint,
and forbore from uttering such sentiments as
he is in the habit of promulgating on the soil
of his native New England. Bearing in mind
that this man is the author and advocate of
the odious Conscription act, that. he .is a. lead
ing Senator and'on adviser of President Lin
coin, we ask impartial men to read the (“0110 «-
ing extracts from a. speech delivered by him at
Brunswick, Maine, e few days preceding the
election in that State. In commenting upon
the resolutions of the Maine Democratic State
Convention, one of which mentioned Governor
Seymour, of New York, favorably, he said:
“ But thanks be to God! he is chained to~day
lo the car of Abraham Lincoln. His friends in
Maine may loud him as they have done, but he’s
a conquered rebel sympathizer. The draft in New
York is going on. There are forty-four noble
and loyal regiments there to help the govern
ment enforce the draft, and runs. is son A

“Everywhere our armies are advancing;
everywhere the rebellion is receding; We

rebel States—that’s the word—sunncuox !
AND WE SHALL CONQUEB. TEE REBELLION IN NEW
KOBE. Forty-five regiments are there to do it,

So then—and wherever the Abolitionista tri
uniph, whether by corruption, by fraud, or by
the bayonet, this is their doctrine—the minor
ity, powerful as they may be in numbers, end
loyal in sentiment to Ihe Constitution and the
laws, are "CHAIM-JD I'o THE CAR 08' AB RA
HAM LINCOLN.” are “CONQUERED REBEL
SYMPATHIZERS,” to be kept in their place,
awed and coerced into base submission to Abra
hm Linmln by “lagulrrgimmtflnrmed to the
teeth, among whom “there is not a mlda‘er win
would not rather shoot a Copperhead—[that is
a. Democrat] put a bullet through his brain—than
a rebel aolda'er."
This is the brutal sentiment of the Abolition
party, entertained by all its leading men, and
by the majority of its members; but only boldly
avowed by such bloodthirsty beasts as Wilson,
who evince their loyalty and courage by shrink
ing from the field of battle, where their own
persons would be in danger, and howling for
the blood of their fellow-citizens at home who
«liter from them in their political and moral
untimenta,
This leading Abolition Senator, and right
{sand man of the Administration, declared on
the same ocaasion, in reference to the con
scription, that “ANY HONEST POOR. MAN
WHO CANNOT RAISE THREE HUNDRED
DOLLARS HAD BETTER GO TO THE WAR."
In the outset of the war, hie zeal outstrip
ning his valor, he raised a regiment and
marched out of Boston, says the Courier,
“looking every inch a soldier, receiving the
cheers and smile: of his fellow-citizens, as he
defiantly turned the head of his war horse to
the seat of war. It was a tproud day for him,
and had he met the enemy that day he would
have charged boldly at them, But the ride
towards. Washington cooled his ardor, and
when he got to the seat of government he
quietly slipped from his horse, threw of his
gorgeous uniform. laid down his virgin sword,
and the regiment was without a colonel."
Such are are the men who rule our unhappy
country, onwards and traitors at heart, whose
“coarse valor lies in their mouths and cones
out in the shape of vituperation.” ,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—-Heavy eannonading
was heard at Gainesville to-day, which contin
ued for more than two hours up to noon in the
direction of Bealton, which is five miles’ from
Reppehannock Station. At 7 o’clock this
morning the Second Army Corps started out on
a reconnaissance in that neighborhood, and
may have encountered the enemy.
Last night, between 8 and 9 o‘clock, 10 or 12
teams of the reserved artilley were captured
by about 150 guerrillas when two miles from
and proceeding toward Warrenton. 1011 first
being hailed, the guerrillas represented them
selves attached to the 13th Pu. cavalry, and,
soon after, ordered the teams to halt, when
they stole the mules, but one-third of the ani
mels were subsequently recovered.
This afternoon, about 4 o’clock, another band
came within'holt‘ a mile of Beaker Station, 14
miles of Alexandria, and captured 25 or 30
mules, need for hauling wood, together with
the wegonmaster and several negroes. They
ordered the wegonmuster to take them to where
the guard were, but one of the negroee having
made his escape, hurried to the guard and in
formed them of their danger, when they pre
pared to give the foe u worm reception. The
guerrillas, evidently supposing they would

OPPOSITION TO THE MEXICAN MONABCHY
An informal conversation was held this day
between some of the representatives of the
Spanish-American nationalities in Washington,
with a'view to a concert of action in resisting
the establishment of a monarchy on this con

to this efl’ect to our government has long been
in contemplation. action in the premises has no
doubt been accelerated by the appearance of a
significeut article in this morning’s Chronicle,
foreshadowing the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine. Senior Romero, the new Minister
of the J usrez government, has arrived. in Wash
ington, and laughs to scorn the idea of a popu
lar vote resulting in favor of Maximilian.—
The day for presentation has not yet been
fixed ; but it is understood that his instructions
are of such a character as cannot fail to enlist
the deepest sympathies of the government of
the United States.
THE ENROLMENT AND THE DRAFT.
Pwvos! Mmann. GIRIIAL’S Oxmcn,
Wumxarox, Oct. 19, 1863. g
Sm: I have the honor to report, tor your
information, certain general faets eonuaated
with the draft, as shown by reports inade up
to this time.
The machinery for executing the enrollment
act, is in complete working order. The law as
it. stands cannot be made to develop the entire
military strength of the nation, and the execu
tion of it has been rendered exceedingly dxfli
oult, by the cflf‘orts made in various ways to
resist. or evade it. or to escape from its opera
tion.
Its fruits. therefore, are not as abundant. as
they will be from a perfected law and more
thoroughly established system of executing it.
All the advantages. however, which could
reasonably have been expected from the law
are accruing. .
Its general prineiples distribute the burdens
of military service fairly among those liable to
bear them, but there is perhaps more gene
rosity than justneas in some of its humane
provisions. Withoertain modifications, which
can readily be made by Congress, the military
strength of the country may. by the direct. and
indirect operation of 1MB" act, be surely end
cheaply brought into the field. _
Seven! of the Western States have not been
lubjeoted to the present draft. on account. of
the excess of volunteers heretofore furnished,
and from the same cause the quotas in other
Western Bmtea are rendered quite small; the
present draft is, therefore. but. a partial one,
and no specific total Was established as the
quota. for it.
01' those drawn in the present draft, inclu
ding the 50 pef cent. additional, over 80 .per
cent. have reported in aeQrdance with the
orders of the boards. or the 20 percent. who
have not reported, many are not wilful deser
tere, being unavoidedly absent, at sea and the
like. The deeertere are being arrested.
0! all examined about 80 pe‘e cent. have
been exempted on account of physioel disa
bility, about ,30 per cent. have been exempted
under the provisions of the second section of
the act, or found not liable to military duty
on account of alienage, unsuiteblenees of age,
non-residents, 82c. Those who are not liable
to military duty, and form no part of the na
tional forces, and therefore hue been erro
neously enrolled, appear in the general reports
of the boards among these exempted, because
their non-ability to serve could not be estab
lished until they came before the boards. The
number of exemptions is thus made to appear
much larger than it really is.
About 40 per cent. of the men examined
have been held to service, and have either en—
tered the army in person, furnished substi
tutes. or paid commutation. -
About one- half of those held to service have
paid commutation; of the remainder about
one-third have gone in person, and twmthirds
have furnished substitutes, and all except a
few in transit and a small proportion of de
serters from among the earlier substitutes ac—
cepted, m in the ranks of their regiments in
front of the enemy. It is fair to suppose that
most of 'those who wilfully fail to report, and
thus become desertors, are physically fit for
service .; if they had been examined the pro
portion exempted for physical disability would
have been reduced to about 25 per cent. The
proportion of exemptions would he still further
reduced by purging the enrollment lists before
draft of all cases of manifest nnlitness. and, 0t
aliens and others not liable to military duty,
as may he done where'this system of raising
troops is well established.
The propositions shove given are hosed upon
the reports up to this time from? the seventy
three Congressional districts where the draft
has been completed, or has most nearly ep
proeehed completion.
Since the present rebellion began about
200,000 soldiers, after entering service, have
been discharged on surgeon's certificate of
disability. It is probable that it least one-half
of th’em were unfit. for service when received.
It may be safely .ssid that forty millions of
money was uselesely expended in bringing
them into the‘field,‘ to say nothing of their
subsequent expense to the Government.
In Great Britain, under the system of volun
tary enlistment, the rejections average over 27
per cent. In France, from 1831 to 1842; the
average number of exemptions ennunlly was
94,860; so thnt, to secure the contingent of
80,000 men, 174,860 conscripts were annually
examined.
0f the recruits who presented themselves
for enlistment in our regular army in 1852, 70
per cent. were rejected for physical infirmi
miee, exclusive of age or stature. Between let
January em! let. J uly last, more than one-half
were rejected. These were men who desired
to be accepted. These proportions are of
interest in connection with the fact that less
than one-third of the drafted men who desire
not to be accepted have been exempted on ac
count. of physical nnfitneee.
There have been but few cases of incompea
tency, fraud, neglect, or abuse in the exami
nation of drafted men. These men have, how
ever, in many ways been swindled by rogues
having no connection with the boards of enrol
ment, as, for example, the feet that certain
drafted men were physically unfit for service
has become known to these sharpers, when it
was perhaps not known to the men themselves,
and they have so far imposed upon the igno
rance or credulity of the draftedrmen as to get
from them sums of money to secure an exemp
tion to which the rogues knew they were enti—
tled and would surely receive, and the drafted
men..finding themselves exempted as promised,
have sometimes thought and given out that
they secured exemption by bribery of drafting
officers, whereas they Were legally entitled to
exemption, and have themselves been swindled
by sharpers.
All has been done that seemed proper under
existing laws to check these evils. and to meet
properly the few 'cases of criminality and in
eompetenuy which have occurred among the
officers of this bureau.
All the expenditures up to this time on ac
count of this bureau, including the enrollment,
draft, and pay of ofiicers, and persons con.-
nected with it. are but little over $1,200,000.
These expenditures include ail made on ac
count of the machinery which has produced
the arrest and return of twenty thousand de
sex-tars.
The amount. of money received from the
draft 'up to this date is about ten times as
great as all the expenses incurred on account.
of the enrollment. act; those resulting frcm
the New York riots are not, however, inclu
ded in this statement, as they are more pro
perly attributable to other causes and other
persons than to the draft or the oficers of this
bureau.
I am, very respectfully, your ob’t. aerv’t,

GENER AL, BURNSIDE'S SITUATION.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette]
The situation involved in the occupation of
East Tennessee with an active and dangerous
foe at either and of a. line two hundred and
forty miles in length, extending from Chatta
nooga to Bristol. it. is difficult, without accu
rate knowiedgslof the facts, to estimate justly.
Our base of supplies is 250 miles distant,
over dangerous and diflicult mountain roads,
with six considerable rivers, and innumerable
mountain streams to cross. This long line of
communication, extending through wild and
disefieeted regions, especially liable to guer-v
rilla. warfare, requires to he surely and ede
quetely guarded. The rebels’ policy has been
to threaten at. all points, but not. to fight. Run
them from one position, and prcata, they ep—
peer at another; force them neck there, and
they reappear at the first, and so on alt“-
nalely. Wolford in the west and Sheokelford
in the east, 200 miles apart, have been engaged
in this unpleasant and unprofiteble military
pastime since our advent into the State, and
the situation _difi'ers but little to-dny from our
status six weeks a go.
Chattanooga is distant from Knoxville 110
miles. The bridges over the Holston and Hi
waasa. are destroyed, and Bragg holds the nil
road from Cleveland to Chattanooga. Our
subsistence certainly, if not. our existence, du
ring a winter residence in EaatTennessee, will
be influenced by one or more of three contin
gencies: the entire and efficient reorganiza
tion (as proposed by Colonel Gilbert) of the
present. superdsmnable system of wagon trans
portstion over the mountains, demolishing
Bragg altogether, or driving him back to 'Dan—
ton or beyond, or the resumption of naviga
tion on the Tennessee river. All these consi
derations renders the role of commander-in
chief of the Army of East Tennessee anything
but a. bed e’f roses.
RAILROAD MATTERS
The rebels have railroad communication as
far as Chickumnuga river. From that point
their supplies are hauled in wagons. The fol
lowing table of distances between here and
Atlnnta, may prove of interest at this time :

The road is called the Western and Atlantic.
Probably no railroad of similar length in the
United States contains so many bridges, or as
much treetlework as this. The Chickamangn
is crossed thirteen times. There are five
bridges between; Ringgold and Tunnell Hill.
The Etowa. Coetanch, and Hightower rivers
are vulneuble points for cavalry dashes. The
Georgia Stetnroopa are scattered along this
road on guard duty.

flying rebels.

WARD Buncnnn.- The Rector of Liverpool,
England, has sent the following letter to the
Secretary of the Emancipation Society :
Cmnwun, October 10, 1863.
Sm :—ln reply to your letter requesting me
to inform my congregation that Mr. H. W.
Beecher “ will deliver a lecture in the Phil
harmonic Hall on the American war and eman
cipation,” I beg leave to inform hm that I
decline to invite my congregation to attend a
lecture on that species of “ emancipation ”
which Lord Brougham, in my‘opinion, justly
cells “a hollow pretext, designed to produce a
slave insurrection.”
I return you the platform ticket you have
sent mic, not intending to attend the lecture,
being of opinion that persons professing to be
the ministers of a. merciful God, “t , that of
peace and lover of concord,” migw better
employed than in advocating a frat idol war
accompanied by atrocities which, as Lord
Brougham says again. “Christian times have
seen nothing to equal, and at which the whole
world stands aghast to incredulity.”
Your obedient servant,
AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL,
Rector of Liverpool:
Mr. Robert Trimble.

so runny otherwise velueble horses nearly worthless.
