says that under the President's last call
for five hundred thousand men the en

for the draft, averaged less than two
hundred per day. During the sext.nine

per day. It is estimated that during
the last fifty days, fifty thousand have

the ground, and some assistance in cut
ting and carrying it to the tobacco barn.
'For her crop she got over $2OO a cwt.
for the best oft; and probably not less
than an average of $4O for the inst. of it.
I presume she netted considers* More
.than $6OO for that half.acre.
The, draft will begin first in thoipi
places which are making the least efforts
to raise volunteers, Bo as to give, the
places which are trying to fill their
quotas without a draft as much time as
possible .to, do so. The paymept of
bounties to recruits authorized by the

were before that day, and volupteers

Poor Richard's . Reasons for buying Unite d
Stat es Securities
The other day we heard a rich neigh
bor say fie had rather have railroad
stocks than the U. S. stocks, for they
paid higheriaterest Just then Poor
Richlird came up,•and said that he just
bbught sorb of Uncle Sam's three years
notes, paying seven and three-tenths per
cent. interest. My rich friend exclaim
ed, "Yon I I thought you had no money
to buy with." "Yes," said Richard,
"I had a. little laid up, for you kat) . * it
is well to have something laid up against
a wet day, and I have kept a little of
my earnings by me." Now - poor Rich
ard is known to all the country round tri
be a very prudent and industrious; and
withal, wise man ; for Richard never
learned anything he didn't know how to
make use 'of, and his wisdom and pru
dencelad become a proverb. So, when
he; took out his iravings and bought the
notes, more lhan one was surprised, and
it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith asked
why. *So poor Riehard, in a very quiet
humble way—for he never assumed any
thing—replied, "I suppose, Mr. Smith
you know a great deal better than ; do
,what to do with money, and how to in
vest ; for I never had much, and all I
got I had to work hard for. Bat I have
lookedlound a good deal upon my neigh
bors, and , seen what they did with their
money and I will • tell you some things I
sail , and what I thought of it. One very
-rich- man was always dealing in money,
and he made a great deal, but was never
satisfied Withoui high interest. So he
lent most of his money to some people
who he thought; were very rich, at a very
high rate; and he often told. how Much
he got, till one day the people he lent
to went to smash. He got back - about
ten cents on a dollar of his money. I
know another old gentleman, who had
some bank stock and he went to the
bank and got ten per cent. dividend.
The President and everybody said it
was the best stock in the country—paid
ten per cent. But what did the old man
do but sell his stock the next day I Why?
why? said everybody. Because, it pays
too much dividend. And in six months
the bank went to smash. Now, that I
`know to be a fact. Well, Mr. Smith,
you say railroad stocks are best, because
they pay high dividends? Can you tell
how long they: will pay them? I like
railroads. I helped to build one, and I
go in for useful things. But I tell you
what I know about them. One-third of
the railroads don't pay any dividend,
and two thirds (and some of them crack
ed up, too,) do not pay as mach as Gov
ernment stocks. Now that brings me ,
to the Governinentsecurities, and I will
tell you why prefer them. I take it
you will admit, Mr. Smith, that in the
long run the investment which is best
should haVe - these qualities : First, it
should be perfectly secure : secondly,
that the income should be uniform and
permanent—not up one-year and down•
the nest; and thirdly, that it should be
marketable, so when your wet day comes,
and you want your money, you can get
it back. And I think these notes or
bonds have got these qualities more .
than any other,kind of personal proper
ty you can name. • Try it.
"First, then, I have been looking into
that great book you call the Census Sta
tistics. I used to think it wasn't worth
muck; but since I. began to study it, I
tell you, I,found. out a good many things
very useful for me to know. I found out,
by, looking l at the crops, and the facto-,
ries and shipping, &c., that we (I don't
mean the. Rebel States) are , :making a
thousand millions of dollarsa year more,
than we spend. So you see that (since
the increase of debt isn't halt that) we
are growing rich instead of poorer, as
John Bull and the croakers; would have
us think. Then the debt will be paid,
anyhow, no matter how long the war is.
Besides, did you ever hear of a Govern
ment that broke before the people did?
Look into your big-histories-, Mr. Smith,
and,yOu will, find the people break be
fore the- Governments.' Well, then, I
call.that stock perfectly. secure.
"Secondly, you want the income uni:
form and permanent. Well, .I want you
to, take up : a :list of banks,- railroads,.
mines, insurance cornpaniesanytlfing
you choose—and tell me (honor bright,
nowi),how many have. :paid , a. uniform
income for ten or twenty years : Not'
one in a hundreA, Mr. Smith, .'and you '
knOw it. -
"Now here is the Government will pay
you without' varying a tittle. :Now I
like something that gives me my income
. .
every year. ,
"Thirdly, Yon want something Which
is marketabtefttny day in the year: Now
if you:will ask any bank-President he
will tsll.yon that • Government stocks are
the only, kind of property that ,is always .
Oect,t/e,,becattap they will sell anywhere
in the world., ,
"Now, Mr. Smith, thisis why I put
I my little, savings in Government stocks.
I conk,* too, that
.I wanted,to help that
dear old country, which.is my home and
:my:country." "Lconfeso," said Mr. Smith
"I hadn't 001414 of all
_this. :; There. is
a good dealfif ; sonse in what you say,
and I will go so far as to put two .or three
thousand dollars ip 'United States, stooks.
It can do no. harm." , • •
We .left Mr. Smith going , towards the
bank" and Poorltichard returning home

or "Did two men ever agree upon
terms of peace while at blows with one
another ?" asks Mr. Vallandigham. Per
haps not ; but two men have pounded
away at one another till one of them
was glad to succumb. Grit is a good
thing ; but there are few men who. when
soundly flogged, will not own up, and, if
they have been misbehaving, agree to
put themselves on their good behavior.
That is all we ask the South to do ; and,
as they wanted to administer this Gov
ernment as if made for those who owned
negroes, we intend they shall agree to
have it administered neither for the
benefit of slaves nor 'their masters but
of freemen.
Sir Mr. Benjamin, Davis' Cabinet
Secretary, lias leek eiate

fact, and that he had no authority to
