Rebellion against a Government like ours,'

our nationality.

The Now Conscription Act.
Tho National Force bill has been defi
nitely acted upon by the House of Repre
sentatives, and the commutation clause has
been stricken out of the act. At first tho
House refused to tako this course, and the
substitute offered by Mr. Smithers.of Del
aware, was voted down ; but on Tuesday
the voto by which the Bubstiluto was de
feated was reconsidered, and the proposi
tion of Mr. Smilhers decided affirmatively.
Ry tho terms of this substitute the Pres
ident is authorized to call out at his dis
cretion volunteors for one, two or three
years. The volunteers will be credited to
the town or district irom which they enter
the service, and in case a draft is imposed
tho consoripts will also bo so accredited.
Accepted volunteers or drafted men aro to
receive bounties varying according to the
duration of their service. A soldier serv
ing one year will receive two hundred dol
lars, unless sooner discharged. For two
years' service the bounty is thrao hundred
dollars, aud for three years four huudred.
Tho uiouey is to bo paid at regular pe
riods, and a soldier who receives a dis
ehargo from service on account of wounds
will also receive the bounty according to
tho term for whioh ho was enlisted or draft
ed. In case of death tho bounty will be
given tho legal heirs.
All drafts, by tho terms of the act, are
ordered within fifty days after tho assur
ance of a call for troops, unless tho full
quotas aro furnished voluntairly, and ro
cruits from ceeded States may be accept
ed by tho Executives of loyal Common
wealths. The draft will reach all able
lodied persons between eighteen and forty-five,
and all sailors or marines enlisted
in the navy will bo credited to their proper
districts. These are the features of the
oew National Force bill ; but it goes fur
ther. It removes the commutation clauso.
It is expressly provided, in case of a draft,
"that no payment of money shall bo ac
oepted or received by the Government to
release any enrolltd or drafted man from
military service." It would havo decided
more definitely tho prico of a substitute,
had Cougrcss affixed to the bill a commu
tation clause for a stated nun. Rut there
is now no moneyed exemption ; aud if the
House substituto leceive, as it probably
will, tho concurrence) of the Senate and
the approval of the President, thero will
be no way to escape adraftsavo by strong- J
ly-defined bodily aliments, or the presen.
tation of an ablo-bodied representative t0
shoulder a musket or inarch to the field in
the conscript's stead. I
This will increase tho prioe of substi- i
lutes. It will doubtless require one thou-!
sand dollars to procure a suitable substi-
tuto, and bounty brokers aud substituto
speoulalors will reap a harvest from the
uow act. Thcro must bo men at home.
