REFUSING . TO OBEY TUE DRAFT e -M udh
speculation is evinced what will become
of those who have been drafted and ne
glect or refuse to serve. The state and
national laws on the subject "come
down" to about this :
" Every officer, non-commissioned of
ficer, or private of the militia, who shall
fail to obey the orders of the President
of the 'United blates * * shall
forfeit a sum not exceeding one year's
pay, and not less than one month's pay,
to be determined and adjudged by a
court martial * * * ; and such
non-commissioned officers and privates
shall be liable to be imprisoned by a
like sentence, on failure of payment of
the fines adjudged against them, for one
calender month for every five dollars of
such fine."
It has been decided by the Supreme
Court of this State, that those who dis
obey the requisition are not employed
in the service so as to be liable to the
articles of war, but that they are liable
to be tried by a court martial, under the
above act. Such court martial must be
constituted under the authority of the
United States.
sr General James died a few days
since, at Sag Harbor, Long Island, from
the effects of injuries received by the ex
plosion of a shell, during a trial of his
new projectiles. The General was well
known as the inventor of a rifled can
non, and projectiles adapted to it, which
have been much used in the United
States service. Re was a citizen of
Rhode Island, and represented that
State in the United States Senate from
March, 1857, till March, 1857. He was
the builder of the Lancaster Cotton Fac
tories and at one time owned one of
them.
air All the school houses in Louis
ville, are now used for hospital purposes
and the schools discontinued. The

poses if necessary, and the Journal says
there are many palatial mansions of the

first-rate hospitals. A large government
building is soon to be erected.

CONSPICUOUS UNIFORMS.—The vanity
of many of our officers is costing them
their jives. They do not seem to real
ize that by wearing into battle brilliant
and showy clothing they are inviting
scores of the enemy's bullets. The
shoulder straps and double-breasted but
tons of field and general officers can be
distinguished by sharp-shooters at a
long distance. It is tot by any means
any mark of cowardice to wear a plain,
unpretending blouse and hat or cap when
going into battle. We lose too many
good officers in every battle to admit of
this practice any longer. The enemy's
officers can scarcely be distinguished
from the privates. The officers they
lose are lost because they get in the
way of our bullets, and are rarely spe,
cially picked off. If an officer cannot
overcome the desire to wear showy clo
thing, when it is not necessary, then
there should be an order issued which
will prevent it.
IIAYTIEN EMIGRATION: MT. James
Redpath, general agent for the past
year, in the Haytien emigration move
ment, announces in the Pine and Palm
that his official connection with it has
ceased, in consequence of a difference of
views with the Haytien authorities as to
the mode of management in the island.
He also announces the suspension of
that journal by order of the government
of Hayti. Mr. George -Lawrence, jr.,
will continue for a time to act as the
chief of the New York bureau, and all
letters of inquiry respecting the move
ment should be addressed to him. Mr.
Redpath says he counted confidentially
on 5,000 emigrants last spring, and
would have had them, too, bad the pion
eer colonists sent home as favorable re
ports as be had a right to expect.
Gir Are are happy to know that
Liet. Worden has entirely recovered

Merrimac, and that he will be shortly
placed in command of one of the new

and still will undoubtedly again redound
to the honor of the navy and to the con
fusion of traitors. The honorable testi
monial to him, we believe, is not far
from $20,000.
INT A. little boy, named Kline, only
fourteen, years of age, fell into 'a coal

Cr One of the arrows discharged by
the Indians in the recent massacre at

of their having gone entirely through
the body.
ilEr Wm. L. Dayton, Minister to
France, writes home that there has
been a perfect rush to the legation in

A PRESENT TO MRS. GENFAAL, MC
CLELLAN.—There is now standing in the
window of Messrs. R. Donnell & Son, at
*Eighth and Walnut streets, the largest
lump of fine loaf sugar ever manufactur
ed in this country. It is about a foot
and a half through at the base, four feet
three inches in height, and weighs one
hundred and ninety-two pounds. It was
made at the Pennsylvania Refinery of
Newhall and Sons, in Philadelphia, is of
the finest sugar, most artistically mould
ed, and altogether is most creditable to
the manufacturers. The purpose is to
present it to Mrs. General McClellan,
as an offset to a similar present made to
General Scott by the Stewarts of New
York. This is, however, as compared
with that, altogether a superior article
—not only in quality but in size and
weight. That was but three feet ten
inches high, and weighed but ninety
pounds: "Some things, it seems, can
be done as well as others."
SHOCKING DEATH.—A lad named John
Chamberlin, aged thirteen years, and
employee at a rolling mill at Youngs
town, Ohio, met with a shocking death
last week. He was lying, wring a tem
porary stoppage of the machinery, on a
belt attached to a large cog wheel con
nected with the nailplate sheers. The
engine was , suddenly started, and be was
quickly carried, feet tbremost,into the
jaws of the wheel, which in its revolu
tions crushed his body into a shapeless
mass before the engine could be stepped.
A wild cry as he was being drawn be :
tweet the wheels, and a few convulsive
gasps after being taken out, and all was
over.

OW A frightful testimony to the pre
sent condition of morals in London, in
one respect, was given recently by Dr.
Lankester, the most able of all Londcn
coroners, who, when addressing a jury
on an inquest, said: "The English
public expressed their horror at infer,-
- ticide when it was brought under their
notice. They were not aware that the
finding of the body of a dead child was
of so common an occurrence that there
were instances of it every day. SO com
mon was it, that the police seemed to
think no more of finding a dead child
than they did of finding a dead cat or a
dead dog."
eir The Episcopal Convention which
has bean in session in New York, has
experienced great difficulty in offering
a testimony against rebellion. without
touching politics. One member, Mr.
Ruggles, said the "offense of our south
ern brethren is not so bad after all ; it
is only a breach of contract, not an im
morality," Such may be accepted as
the Episcopal standard of morals. A
breach of contract not an immorality,
and treason only a breach of contract:
R The Democratic State ticket in
Indiana is reported elected by from 5,-
000 to 8,000 majority. The Union men
have elected four members of Congress
the opposition five, with two districts in
doubt, which both parties claim. The
Opposition have evidently a majority
of the Legislature, which will secure the
election of a United States ;Senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the expulsion
of Jesse D. Bright.
ow The recent action of the Episco
pal Convention fully justifies the opin
ion of the old Judge in Northern New
York, who, being a man of wealth,
found it necessary to join a church, and
finally selected the Episcopal for the
following reasons : "You see I was per
fectly safe in joining the Episcopal
church; for it never meddles with either
temperance, moreak politics, or reli
gion."

TRIALS OF A PICKET. —An army cor
respondent thus writes of the trials of
the new troops acting as pickets : In
the night time they transform trees into
mounted men, shrubs into pickets, fen
ces into battle-lines, and oven rocks into
armed rebels. At one time they hastily
rallied their ranks and poured a galling
fire into the outcropping rocks la the
river, believing them to be a Confeder
ate force fording the bubbling current.
Even in the day time, on one occasion,
a few of our men who had crossed to the
large island in the river for grain, were
fired on by the whole frightened line of
pickets, and only saved themselves by
falling below the gunwates of the large
flat boat. To these raw troops a coon
cry or an owl-screech becomes a bugle
call. They need the experience of a
campaign to cool their imaginations and
temper their zeal.
SEWARD ON THE WAR.—Hon. Wm. H.
Seward, in a late communication (writ
ten by instruction of the President) to
the West New Jersey Baptist - Associa
tion, says.: "The President desires, also,
that yon may be well - assured that, so
far as it belongs to him, no vigor and no
perseverance shall be wanting to sup
press the existing insurrection, and to
preserve and maintain the Union of the
States and the integrity of the country.
You may further rest assured that the
President is looking for a restoration of
peace on no other basis than that of the
unconditional acqniesence by the people
of all the States in the constitutional
authority of the Federal Government.—
Whatever policy shall lead to that re
sult will be pursqed ; whatever interest
shall stand in the way of it will be disre
garded."
VERY DECIDED VIEWB.--The Cincin
nati Gazette, of October 11, publishes a
letter from Ilon. W. C. Grier, of the
Kentucky Senate, who has just been
burned out of house and home , by the
marauding guerrillas of the Rebel Mor
gan. Mr. Grier gives his present views
in the following energetic language :
"Why is all this persecution of me ? Is
it because I condemned this wicked Re
bellion, urged a vigorous prosecution of
this war, and in my place in the Senate
of Kentucky, opposed the temporizing
policy of my own party ? For this lam
burned out and hunted out of Kentucky.
I am now unequivocally for confiscation,
subjugation, extermination and hell and
damnation."
THE Onto .1 4 ,11.5.cn0x t—The returns
from Ohio indicate the election of the
Democratic State ticket by about 12,-
000 majority. The congressional dele
gation will stand 12 Democrats to a Un
ion men. The Legislature of Ohio be
ing elected biennially, the result of this
election will not affect the question of
the election of a United States Senator.
That will be in the hands of the present
Legislature, which is strongly Adminis
tration. Those, therefore, who count on
the election of the defeated traitor Val
landigham to the U. S. Senate, will find
themselves somewhat disappointed.
ogr A Washington letter says "there
having been a suspicion that the rela
tions of General Scott with the Presi
dent were not of a very friendly charac
ter, lam enabled to say that all such
suspicions are utterly unfounded, and
that the intimacy of the two distinguish

character. Indeed, there is no one the
President would sooner confide in upon
the subject of military matters, than
Gen. Scott.
Illy' Frederick Ward, the A merican,

RE,TCINSTrI.F. Peary :—Early i n
1?' , 61, when the civil war seemed perl.
inn., but had not actually broken cut,
Gem Scott wrote two papers, containing
his views, professional and political, on
the crisis and the rights and duties
which devolved on the momentous junc
tare. One of them has recently been
published without the writer's consent.
The second now appears, having been
furnished to the press by himself.
It establishes, in the first place, the
patriotic anxiety of the General-in-chief
to prepare for the coming storm, and
his earnest and repeated efforts to pre
vail on the Government to garrison the
Southern forts against every possible
attack ; and discloses, in the second
place, the causes of his failure, which it
is evidentsesolted from the indecision of
President Buchanan, misled dou.ktless
by treachery in the Secretary of %Vox, if
not in other members of the Cabinet in
whom the then head of the Goverment
reposed a misplaced and abased confi

OCR IRON CLAD NAVY.—Donald Mc-
Kay, the ship builder, who has person
ally inspected the iron-clad fleets now
being made in England and France
doubts the propriety of our construc
ting so many vessels of the Monitor
pattern. He regards them inferior to
the large vessels building abroad for of
fensive purposes. Their lowness in the
water and inferior speed would, he thinks
put thein at the mercy of the huge rains
for such they all are, that compose the
European fleets. The Ironsides, and the
great ram building by Mr. Webb, ho
fears, will be the only two effective res
sels in our navy for deep water purposes.
CONFEDERATE BONDS.-It is whispered
about that bonds of the rebel confeder

lievers quietly buy and lay them away,
expecting, if they succeed, they will turn
out a good investment ; if not, they will
pocket the loss and light their segars
with them. It will be awkward if sellers.
