THE CONSCRIPTION ACT.
It is now stated that the Administration
intends resorting to another conscription,
the present having failed to furnish the
number of men required for its purposes.
There are already Boldiers enough in the
field to utterly crush what remains of the
rebellion, but this, it appears, -is not ex
actly the purpose of the Administration.
The war is to be lengthened out in order
to insure negro emancipation ; to effect
this, and not the restoration of the Union,
the President desires only “three hun
dred thousand more,” %
In the Senate of the United States in
the winter of 1862, Senator Wilson, Chair
main of the Military Committee of that
body, in a speech upon the strength of
the army, remarked;
lk _ 1 have over and over again been to tho War
Uthce, and urged upon the Department to stop
recruiting m every j>art of tho country.” “We
have had the promise that it should be done ”
I believe we have to-day 150.000 more men under
the pay of tbe Government than we need, or can
well use. ’I think the Department ought to
lsme peremptory orders forbidding the enlist
ment of another soldier into the volunteer force.”
These remarks were made about eighteen
months since, and about the same time
one of the most acute of the Abolition
Senators, Mr. Fessenden, ot Maine, said ;
In every State of the I.’nion there are men
who are paid from month to month not called
into the field for the reason that the Government
has no occasion to uso them : and vet no step is
taken, to disband these men. Whv not disband
them if they are not wanted ?” ”We have 250 -
000 more than we ever intended to havo ” • It
is extravagance of the most wanton kind." “ I
offered a proposition to stop all enlistments.”
In addition to these remarks going to
prove that our armieß were entirely too
large, we have the following, delivered
about the same time by Thaddeus Stevens,
chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, in which he declared the govern
ment, under snch extravagance, would be
unable to sustain itself six months. He
remarked':
We shall have to appropriate more than six
rmnared million dollars without the addition of
a single dollar beyond what is estimated for.
J\ow, sir, that in itself is alarming. I confess I
do not see how, unless the expenses are greatly
curtailed, thjs Government can possibly so on six
months. If we go on as we have boon dring the
nuances not only of the Government but of the
v. co . antl 7 most sive way, nnd the people
v. ill be involved in one general bankruptcy and
ruin, tie havo already in the held an army of
six hundred and Bixty thousand men, &c."
About the time these emphatic declara
tions were made in Congress, General
McClellan started npon his campaign
against Kichmond. Before preparing for
the final blow which was to insure the
capture of the rebel capital, he applied to
the President for reinforcements, asking
for McDowell’s division. The President
replied that he was unable to aid him, and
told him to ao the best he could with what
force he had. Had McClellan been
strengthened, when within a few miles of
the rebel capital, there is no doubt that on
the fourth of July, one year ago, the Btars
and stripes would have been planted
in triumph upon the vanquished steeples
of ' Richmond. Bat this is precisely
what the Abolitionists didn't want.- —
They provoked the war for the purpose:
of emancipating the slaves of the South,
and in order to accomplish their designs
hostilities had to be prolonged. The pol
icy inaugurated at that early day, to pro-;
long tho war, has been pursued ever since.
Abolitionism has rejoiced over oar de
feats, because they were calculated to in
tensify hostilities and give time for them
to force the President into radical meas
ures. They succeded, and tho policy they
are pursuing now is to subjugate and en
slave the Southern people and give free
dom to their slaves. We do not charge that
these are the intentions of all who belong
to the Abolition organization,- but that
they are those of the leaders of that party,
who now have control of the President, is
perfectly evident to all who are not en
tirely blind. The rebellion itself is reel
ing in every direction, while the Southern
people are crying out to be restored to
the Union. Where then is the necessity
of enforcing monstrous acts of conscrip
tions for three hundred thousand more men
to fight an enemy already prostrated and
willing to return to their allegiance ? If
is as we have stated, for the purpose of
reducing the Southern States to depopu
lated territories; and destroying in them
all political power. This, together with
draining the Democratic ranks by unfair
enrollments, as in the City of New York ;
will, it is thought give to Abolitionism an
indefinite lease of power of the govern
ment.
Mr. Webster at an early day penetra.
ted the ultimate effect of the spirit of Abo
litionism upon the country, did it ever
succeed to power. He said
If these infernal .fanatics and AlaUtionut, ever
Ctt the pouter in their hands, they ,cUI override the
Constitution, set the Supreme Court at defiance
c\ange and make laws to suit themae'ves, L±x YlO
LSNT IIa_ND3 OJTTBOSE TTHO DIFFER WITH THfilf lIT
OPIHIOH or dare fries ion their fidelity, and finally
bankrupt the country and deluge it with blood.”
In the Senate Mr. Clay said in relation
them; i a . '■
“ T ° : the agency of their power of persuasion
they now propose to substitute the power of th»
BiLtOT box; and he must be blind to what is
passing before us. who does not perceive that the

for the proper performance of their public

a fit of genuine Abolition mgc. On Sat
urday afternoon it. gave us tho following
broadside, in a sentence of eighteen \\l*b :
That any Abolitionist—lender .»r otherwise—
at thi3 or timo.has inoulonted "negro

a falsehood, snch utter mendacity, that anv man

Hon. George B. Upton and George B.
Upton, Jr., owners of ship Nora, destroy

have made a protest in reference thereto,
and demand of the government of Great
Britain full reparation for the same in the
sum of eighty thousand dollars of the coir,
of the United States, being tho value of
the said ship and freight at the time o 1
her destruction. They claim indemnity
because the Alabama ia an English vessel,
built an English port and allowed to
leave English waters, although informa
tion as to her character and the intention
to use her as a privateer, to prey upon the
commerce of the United States —then and
now at peace with Great Britain—wa>

she was allowed to leave by giving bond
to return, and left under the protection ot
the British flag, manned by British sub

has since been repeatedly m British ports,
and instead of being seized and detained
by the British govern meat, was allowed

Mr. Vallandigham
The friends of Mr. VallandighoTn are
laying down the programme for his return
to Ohio, in case o e his election. In a
speech at Toledo. last week, Mr. Cox
said ;
“ In case their State ticket was fucocSa

and be installed as Lieutenant (Lir<-r rot,

Justice, Democratic and Bepub
In Jane, lt>A}, says the World. r:-,b,
incited by the teachings and rewarded by
the applause of the New York Tribune,
assailed the court house in JtoMou to pre
vent the execution of a law of the t nited
States. The mob was resisted by the- : o
lice there posted, and in the conflict which
followed, one faithful defender of public
order was barbarously murdered,
ringleaders of that mob, one beiry
quently arrested, was pronounced by the
t ribune a martyr in the cause of human
rights, and another now holds a high com
mission in the national army, with great
acceptance irom the same journal.
In Jnly, 1861-1, a mob, excited bv the
Tribune’s persistent contempt of the I'on
stitntion, and by its virulent efforts to de
grade beyond redemption the national
banner, assembled around the Tribute
office in New York and attempted its de
molition. A journeyman barber, charged
with leading this mob, which failed to do
anything more than for a few moments to
frighten Horace Greeley while, has ins;
been condemned to a heavy fine and Tong
imprisonment. The ribters of 18">-1 wer?
avowed Republicans, and Republican jus
tice rewarded them with honor and with
office.
The rioters of were alleged to be
Democrats, and Democratic justice re
warded them with Btern and impartial
chastisement.
Destruction of Hebei Property
near Jackson, Miss
A letter received in Roxbury from a
member of Co. K, of the 30th regiment,
dated Memphis, August b, in describing
the march frpm Vicksburg to Jackson
after the fall of yieksburg, speaks thus of
the scenes on his route, when the soldiers
were permitted to destroy the property of
the rebels:
livery bouse was ransacked by the
soldiers. After they had got all the mo
lasses and sugar they wanted, they went
into the houses and tore up the carpets
and broke all the furniture. In one bouse
1 saw two splendid pianos, all broken to
pieces, elegant mirrors Bmashed and shat
tered on the floor, and finally the hou»e
bred and consumed. All the uninhabited
houses were similarly served, when, if the
people had remained, their property would
have been safe. Such a destruction of
property I never saw before.”

THE SIEGE OE* CHARLESTON,
If the news from the Federal forcesnear
Charleston published yesterday be true,
we may soon expect to receive stirring in

designated for the graud bombardment

us rorae account of its progress, if not its
final result. In the meantime we make tip

So far as we have ascertained, the rebels
have not relaxed in their preparations to
resist our approach toward Charleston.
They are working like beavers on James
Island, building batteries and mounting
heavy guns with which to enfilade our po
sition. With our glasses we can see the
features of the men aud dashing of their
spades in the lifrht ot therisingsun. They
labor as if confident of checkmating us.
List night they hauled down a monstrous

been in a state of siege. Several efforts
have been made daring the night to rein

failed. Our heavy guns reach the boats
by night and by day, and in every instance
they have been driven back. The only

This writer, in the course of his appeal,
makes a confession which may be taken
as evidence of the entire change of tactics
for the tactics for the last extremity by
the rebels. He “ gives it up" that subju
gation is possible—an admission which ne
cessarily required an abandonment of the
‘‘last ditch theory, and the invention of
a new one. This is iugenioualy done by
introducing the great President himself in
the grand historic act of firing from be
hind a “ friendly tree’ I —a genuine bush
whacker. Here is the passage :
Oar President promised that, if the
darkest hour should be forced upon us,
when our capital should fall, when onr
last military organization should become
scattered or expire, he would join that pa
triot band of heroes who, irom behind
some friendly tree, would continue to greet
the invader with the crack of the rifle, and
make hi \ track one of blood, famed ever
in history as the last stand of the freeman.
When the last armed man shall retreat to
the Gulf: when every mile of southern
soil shall be watered by the patriot's
blood; when even the buzzard shall fly
from the stench cf onr putrid foes—[Clas

honorably ; l.ut nt.uinission, reconstruc

\\ e are now in til- very throes of this
revolution. The bloody sweat and agony
of our labor for the birth of liberty are
upon üb. All hopes or peace have become
obscured by an impenetrable gloom. At
every point of the compass from which we
look for a fair wind and a bright sky, dark
storm-clouds threaten and lower. The
time has come when every stato in this
eonlederacy must depend upon itself. Let
blind adherents and partisans close their
eyes, but the people must awaken to the
fact that our uorernment larhs rigor,
health, ami strength. This is no time to
inquire into the cause ot its debility or
inability, Put the fact baa been too long
apparent, that a morbid distemper has ex-’
hibtted itself in the exercise cf its func
tions. Let no man misunderstand me. I
do noL mean to attempt for a moment to
impair the confidence ot the people in the
high integrity, devotion, and patriotism of
our President in this crisis. All men aro
not eudowed with the sump great menial,
moral, and [ hysioal abilities; and the
President has not certainly called around
him men of that distinguished stamini, as
statesmen, who might have been selected,
even if he has exhibited on all occasions
these eminent qualities himself. Tlio peo
ple of the states, therefore, m.-.-.i look to
their own qefea.e, using every means in
their power, aud acting with vigor, cour
age, and determination, while giving, to
their fullest extent, their hearty support
and co-operation to the administration.

New York, Aug. 15. — The Tribunes
dispatch says the number of colored
troops actually in the field, is between
twenty-two. and twenty-three thousand.—
I- iffy additional regiments are partly or
ganized, and speedily approaching comple
tion. The estimate of one hundred thous
and being in arms by fall, will, it is thought
be fully sustained.
Prominent western men, among them
Gov. Tod, called on the Presidentyester
day, and urged the immediate organiza
tion of a mounted force to operate in Ten
nessee. The interview was renewed to
day. The greater importance is attached
to the expedition, as Gen. Rosecrans
deems ouch a force essential to his future
success.

.We had three desperate engagements
with -,200 Sioux warriors, in each of
which they were routed and finally driven
across the Missouri, with the loss of all
their subsistence, *c. Our loss was small,
while at least 150 of the savages were
killed and wounded. Forty-six bodies
have been tuund.

Gen. Sully marched from Fort Pierre
