"This three hundred dollar, exemption clause,

what are the facts? Suppose Congress had in

the only Means of avoiding conscription bad been
the furnishing of n;substitute; would not the

This is the case in the so-called Confederate

Had 'Congress not enacted the clause in

But the apposition : taanifested-': to the
draft, is but a popular dereonstriition
neatest the Administration. The people
see and feel that it the programme of tie
gro emancipation is to be carried out, it
will require the entire male population of
the free Statea to garrison the conquered
territories. The white population of the
free States.will be sacrificed in orderla
give freedotn to a few millions tot blacks.
This impr.iiien is taking htild of the peo

those in authority, as well as, ' by those
who shape the policy of the Adininistra:
tion: As long-as we were fighting =avow

1 11- the Constitution; there was no need of
conscription; none at all. But the Aboli

emancipation, promising - to cause New

instead of their redeeming their promisesi

Had the people confidence in the integ-

were they not alarmed at the partisan

My whole purpose is, in one word, to
place this war on -the fooling of such as
are , waged by civilized people in modern
times, and to : divest it of the savage char

our enemies, in spike of all our t tforts

circuitous routes, and by detaining them,
sometimes for months, in camps and in

driving from their homes entire tom mil
cities of women and children, rui well as
of men, whom they find in districts occu

than because these unfortunates are faith
ful to the allegiance due to their States
and refusal° take an oath of fidelity to
their enemies.
The putting to death of unarmed pris

in more than one instance, and the recent
executions of officers of our army is Tien•
tacky, for the sole cause that they were
engaged in recruiting service in a State
which is claimed as still one of the United

'execution in every tither State of the Con

uselessly cruel, and can only lead to the
slaughter. of prisoners on both sides—a
result too horrible to contemplate without
making every effort to avoid it.
On these and all kindred subjects you
will consider your authority full and ample
to make such arrangements as will temper
the present cruel character of the conteot,
and full confidence is placed in your judg
ment, patriotism and discretion, that while
carrying oat the objects of your mission,
you will take care that the equal rights of

I proceeded on the mission therein assign

the Navy, and tendered for the service.
At noon on the 3d she started down James
river, hoisting and bearing a flag of truce
after passing City Point. The next day

A Golden Opportunity Lost
re,pondenee of the Baltimore American
Army or the Potomac.
It is pretty evident—at least it seems
so - -that that the strength of the rebel army
has been aver estimated, and that the er
ror was committed of considering them in
a more erit:,al pushier' than they really
were. They were considered too Surely
trapped, "cormred." when quite the con
trary was the case. Precious time was ac
corded them—time being all they wanted'—
to complete their preparations to cross the
river. Twenty four hours' delay to attack
them was all that stood betwixt themselves
and a terrible defeat. A day or a half
day—nay, a half hour sometimes, in such
cases, settles the fate of an army, or of a
people ; and so we must, indeed, lament
what seems a golden opportunity lost,
through waiting too long for reinforce
meats, or from overestimating the rebel
strength—essentially the same thing. But
the experiences of the rebel army on this
side of the eotomac have been bitter in
the extreme, and they have had—to say
the least of it—an escape for which they
may well be thankful.
Condition of the -Rebels.
As to their condition at the time they
crossed, every ivioount procured by the
best sources within their lines—so far as
we have them—for the past few days goes
to shoe that they were terribly short of
provisions,
they having cleaned out every
thing within their reach. With many of
their wagons cut off by our frequent cav
alry raids on their flanks and rear, and
pretty well cooped up for several days
past, they appear to have consumed every
thing within their reach and to have gone
back to Virginia scantily supplied in the
line of provisions except cattle. What
the numbers of the latter were with them
we can only conjecture.
Our Army DisuppolntetL
The army is disappointed and chagrined
at this signal escape of the foe, for it is
not pleasant to hunt the vacant banks of
the Potomac when they confidently sup-
posed they had the antagonist, so long
their annoyance, within their very grasp; ,
but it is nowise dispirited at least. To
day,. so many wild stories are current
bearing upon possible movements across'
the river into Virginia, that we are fain to
discard them all, and await hopefully the
course of events. That the rebels are
badly dispirited and weary of fighting; 'are
sadly despoiled of their old audacity and
confidence :in themselves by the result of
this raid into the loyal States, is plaid.—
They have been whipped and driven ont
—there is no getting over or around that.
The great pity is that the task so well be
gun was not as well completed.
Grant and Napoleon.
Grant, for the last year, has as com
pletely ignored the word "impossible"
Napoleon boasted that he did through his
whole career. If he should lay down his
sword to morrow, he would already have
earned an imperishable name in American
history. But no sword can be reckoned
on with more confidence than his to the
end of the war ; and, unless we 'grandly
mistske, it will mnke many a notable mark
yet.

the recent day's fighting on Morris Island;
On the morning of 11th of July, the 6th
Connecticut and the 9th Maine, made a
furious attack upon the Cumming's; Point.
hattery and got-possession of it and hoist•
ed this A.merican flag at daylight. Fort
Sumter opened upon them, when a Penn
sylvania regiment cowardly deserted them,
refusing to stand by their commanders.—
The other regiments held the battery until
they were badly cut up and then abandon
ed it, and the rebels again took posses
sion of it, These two regiments have
shown themselves heroes in this cam
paign.
A.t.ten a. tn. the monitors proceeded to
attack Cumming's Point battery, and at
twelve o'clock three of the woolen gun•
boats opened on the battery at a long
rauge . and threw their 200 pound shot .
di
rectly into the works.
Fort Sumter has been throwing ehella
into Morris Island without doing any dam
age to oar side. The cannonading ceased
at 4 o'clock p. w.
•The monitors have beea supplied with
fresh crews from the different ships.
The ironclad Montauk has just arrived
from Fort Royal. She is across the bar,
making with the gunboats, fourteen yes.
Bela in front of Morris' Island and Suttiter.
We shall recommence the ;Week to•
morrow morning,, when we shall succeed
ioaileneing the Cumming's Point battery
and Fort Johnson.

teries opened in earnest.
The Memphis has just brought in a rebel
side wheel steamer loaded with cotton,
captured while trying to run at Bull's bay
last night.
P. S. Our troops will have their battery
done in two days more and then they can
shell Sumter.

CIRCULAR NO. 47.
First—Drafted men become Foldiere
in the service of the United States by the
tact of their names having been drawn in
the draft. The notice served upon them
by the Provost Marshal is merely an an
nouncement of the fact, and an order for
them to report for duty at a designated
time and place.
Second—The following opinion of the
Hon. Wm. Whiting, Solicitor of the War
Department, is published tor the informa
tion of all concerned':
When a persen has been drafted in pun
suance of,the enrollment act of March 3d,
1863, notice of such draft must be served
within ten days thereafter, by a written or
printed notice, to be served on him per
sonally, or by leaving a copy at his last
place of residence, requiring him to ap
pear at a designated rendezvous to report
for duty. Any person failing to report
for duty after notice is left, without fur
°Hating a substitute or paying $5OO, is
nounced by law to be a deserter. He may
be arrested and held for trial by court mar
tial, and sentenced to death. If a person
after being drafted, and before receiving
notice, deserts, the notice may still be
served by leaving a copy at his last place
of residence, and if he does not appear in
accordance with. the notice, or furnish a
substitute, or pay the $3OO, he will be in
law a deserter, and must be treated ac.
cordingly. There is no way or manner in
which a person once enrolled can escape
hie public duties ; and when drafted,
Whether, present or absent, whether he
change his residence or abscond, the
rights of the United States against him are
secured, and this only by the performance
of his duty to the country that he will es
cape liability to be treated as a criminal.

The fourth paragraph of circular N 0.44,

hereby modified so as to correapond with
the opinion of Hon. Wm. Whiting, Solici

and calling out the national forces, and
for other purposes, claiming exemption
from draft by reason of any disability, as
provided in said act, has the right to have
'the question of his disability submitted to

If the board shall have decided that the

INEW YORE, July 17,—There has been
no disturbance rip to dusk,
The call of "John Hughes, Archbishop
' of New York, to those persona whom the
papers call rioters, is genuine; and in re
sponse to it, some 600 .Irishmen assembled
at his residence this afternoon, including
many known rioters, some of them armed.
In lus address, which was quite lengthy,
he said he addressed them as their, father,
and declined, on the' ground Of being a
priest, going into the question which
brought about the present unhappy state
of things. He referred to Ireland, arid
thanked God he had cbtrte to this country,
where no such oppression ' existed. He
counselled them to bear np under their
supposed evils, rather than commit a
greater. In this country the government
is a foundation not to be destroyed.—
Everything is in the hands of the people,
who build the superstructnre every four
years. Whether the majority of the peo
ple make a blunder or not, I am willing to
be governed by that majority. He ex
horted them to go to their homes, and
stop these proceedinn and support the
laws. which have not been'enacted against
them because they were Irishmen and
Catholic& ..- . = -, The crowd then peaceably dispersed.
