ATTCKKKV UKNKKAI.'B OVPIUK,
Much 1-5, 1805.
Hon. E. M. StanLm, Secretary of War
S I K: The lirsf question propounded in
your Utter ot the lutii inst., is, whether
the J233 section of the Act. ol Mhreli 3d,
lSUi" ••duperce.les" the 4th section of the
Act of February 24th, 1SC.-I?
The 4th section of the act of February
24th, 1864 enables any enrolled person, he
tore a draft, to furnish "an acceptable sub
stitute who is not liable to draft nor, at itte
time, in the military or naval service ot the
United States," aud provide? that the per
son so turuishing such substitute "shall be
exempt from draft during the time for jrf.it/,
such substitutes/lull not be liable to draft, not
exceeding the time for which \ntch substitute
shall have been accep ed."
Under this enactment, any person en
rolled aud liable to draft, may obtain ex
emption from the draft during the whole
period of time, for which he shall procure
a substitute to be enlisted, provided the
substitute shall be so long not buttle to
draft. It. is not a mere credit for a partic
ular draft which such person obtains by
furnishing a substitute before the antici
pated draft, but it is an absolute exemp
tion which ke acquires from liability to be
drawn at any and every draft, which may
occur during the eutire time for which his
substitute has been accepted by the Gov
ernment, provided the subs.itute be so long
not liable to draft. If. for example, his
substitute is accepted as a three years'
volunteer, and remains so long not liable
to draft, the principal, by the provision of
the law of 1864, just referred to, is insur
ed against the risk of beiug drafted during
the whole period for which his substitute
enlisted, no matter how many drafts may
occur between the eulistmeut of the sub
stitute aud the expiration of his term of
service. But the Government, under this
provision, is to be at no expense in conse
quence of the authorized substitution of
one individual for another in the draft.—
The party who desires to avail himself of
the benefit of the privileges conferred by
the law, is properly and justly required to
compensate the substitute.
Such being the provision ot the law of
1864 on the subject of "substitutes" fur
nished in anticipation of a draft, the law of
March 3d, I860, provides (in its 23d sec
tion 1 as follows:
"That any person or persons emolled
in any sub-district may, after notice of a
draft, and before the same shall have taken
place, cause to be mustered into the ser
vice of the United States such number of
recruits not subject to draft, as tbty may
deem expedient, which recruits shall stand
to the credit of the persons thus causing
them to be mustered in, and shall be taken
as substitutes for sveh persons, or so many of
them as msiy be drafted, to the extent of
the number of such recruits, and in the
order designated by the principals at the
time such recruits are thus as aforesaid
mustered in."
It is clear that this enactment provides
for quite another case than that contem
plated by the provision to which I have
been adverting in the statute of 1864, and
confers upon an enrolled person a privilege
entirely distinct from that given to him by
that statute, ot which lie may avail him
self at his option, in preference to the priv
ilege conferred by the Act of 1864.
Under the provision ol the 23d section of
the Act. of 3d March, 186"), he may, in ad
vance of a draft, "cause to be mustered into
the service" a "recruit not subject to draft,"
which "recruit" will "stand to the credit" of
the enrolled person, causing him to be mus
tered in, in tue evert of the principal be
ing drafted, and be taken, on the happen
ing of that contingency, as a substitute for
such principal. But the "credit" shall
avail him for the particular draft in ad
vance and anticipation of which he may
have secured the "recruit."
There is no provision in the Act of 1865,
that the person furnishing a "recruit" uu
dt the 23d section, shall be "exempt from
draft" during the time for which the recruit
may have been accepted aud enlisted. But
the only benefit which a person so furnish
ing a recruits, under the Act of 18H5. is
the securing, in the event of his being
drafted, of a "credit' on the particular
draft in anticipation of which the "recruit"
may have been furnished. The "recruit"
»y be mustered into the service for three
years, and yet, as a substitute, he enn only
avail the person who caused him to be mus
tered iu for, and with respect to the one
draft before, and in anticipation of whi
he was obtained. The liability of the prin
cipal to be drafted at any other drafts oc
curring after the mustering in of the "re
cruit," and during the term of his service,
is nut at alt affected. There is manifestly,
therefore, no conflict between the respect
ive sections of the Acts of 1804 and 18(55,
to which you have called my attention.—
One does not impinge upon, nor even cross
the path of, the other. Thev give different
and distinct rights aud privileges to the
citizen liable to draft. He has the alterna
tive course to pursue before any diaft,
either to buy a "substitute" and secure him
to be mustered iu aud thus obtain exemption
from the draft during the entire term of
enlistment of the substitute, if the latter be
so long not liable to draft, or he may pro
cure for the Government a "recruit" not li
able to draft, and obtain credit for suoh re
cruit in case he should be drafted, subject
ing himself, however, to the liability of be
ing compelled to repeat the operation at
every succeeding draft that may be order
ed by the President.
Chiefly, I suppose, the design of the pro
vision of t'.ic Act of 18i5, under considera
tion, was to offer inducement and present
a stimulus to numbers or associations of in
dividuals iu any sun-district, before the lia
bility of any of them became fixed by a
draft, to obtain volunteer recruits for the
army. Congress, in this law. offers such
associations a premium to use their exer
tions to fill up the armies. It says to the
residents of the multitudinous counties,
townships, wards, and precincts, through
out the country, "Organize yourself into
recruiting societies induce volunteers to
enlist into the service before the draft pay
them such amounts of bounty as you may
be able to raise by yjur contributions to
the recruiting funds of your several dis
tricts and, when they have been enlisted
into the service, the volunteers you may
have raised will stand to the credit of as
many of you as may happen to be drafted,
to the extent of the number of recruits, 'in
the order designated,' at the time the re
cruits are mustered in."
Such is the declaration and promise of
the new law. Its policy is to encourage
recruiting, uot the procuring of substitutes
to induce the people to organize associa
tions for the advancement of volurleering,
rather than the purchase ot substitutes.
In enacting this new law, and inaugura
ting this new policy, Congress, however,
has not taken away the right of the enroll
ed person, before the draft, to furnish a
substitute, with the qualification before
stated and thus secure his exemption from I .frf.* fit il1,f g\t*#1 J!t«t«.%i»«Mtt
draft during the time for which his substi- 4!i»* tlAlUUU
lute shall have been accepted. He still has
it in his power to exercise that right iu
preference to the riglrt conferred by the
.'3d section of the Act of -$d MnjrrH,
of obtuiuitig a. »M«eeruit" previous i«\'.caoh
draft, as it may occur, and pceiiringthere,
by* credit in the event, on any occaslun, MM
his being drafted.
1 inn of opinion, therefore, that the 23d
section of the Act of March 3d, I860, does
not supersede the 4th section of the Act of
February 24th, 1804.
The second question which you have re
ferred to me, is. whether the "recruits,"
which are "to be taken ns substitutes,"
arc to be considered ai.d borne upon the
inusu-r rolls and recount of the office of the
Provost Marshal Gvncrnl, as" other volun
teer recruits, which tire obtained at the ex
pense of the United States, or as substi
tutes which ure furnished at the cost of the
priuci als.
1 am of opinion that the "recruits" whom
persons enrolled iu any sub-district may
"cause to be mustered into the service of
the United Stales," in pursuance of the 23d
suction ot the Act of 3d March, 18»i, are
to be considered aud treated as other vol
unteers who are obtained at the expense
of the United States. It will be observed,
from the anilysis of the law contained in
the foregoing remarks, that the idea in-.
vo'ved iu the law of 1864 is substitution
while the idea of the law of'1865 is crediting.
The section of the Act. of 18t»5 under con
sideration does not speak of the "recruits"
in question as "substitutes," but declares
that they "shall be taken as substitutes" for
the persons who cause than to be mustered in.
They arc not substitutes, but only of the
nature of substitutes. Their primary and
essential character, under the law, is that
ot credits for their procurers or principals
and this description is the frst description
given of them the section in question,
tor, after saying "which recruits shall stand
to the. credit of the person* tlus causing them to
be mustered in, the section proceeds, "and
shall be taken as substitutes for such persons,
or so many of them as may be drafted, to the
extent of the number'of guch ecu its.
A critical study of the words of the stat
ute thus develops the fundamental idea
which 1 have supposed, from othct indica
tions, was intended to be embodied in the
law. The "recruits" who are to "stand to
the credit" of the enrolled persons, causing
them to be mustered in before the occur
rence of a draft, 1 am of opinion, then, arc.
to be considered as other volunteer recruits
which are obtained at the expense of the
United States, and not as "substitutes," in
the ordinary sense of that term, which are
furnished at the cost of the principals.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES SPEED,
Attorney General.

ATTORNEY GKXKRAL'S OFFICE,
.March 13, 1865.
lion Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
SIR In your letter of the 11th of March,
you ask me whether, under the Act of Con
gress entitled "Au Act to amend the several
.Acts heretofore passed to provide for the
enrolling aud calling out the national for
ces, and for other purposes," approved
3d March. 1805, the Provost Marshal Gen
eral is requited to change the preseut quo
tas in the pending draft by reason of cor
rections in the enrollment, made since their
assignment.
In the 13th section of the Act, it is en
acted, "That where any revised enrollment
in any Congressional or draft district has
becu obtained or matte, prior to any actual
drawing of names from the enrollment lists,
the quota of sucii district may be adjusted
and apportioned to such-revised enrolment,
instead of being apnlied to or based upon
the enrollment, as it may have ,tood before
the revision."
It will be percieved that the language of
this section is in the post tense, and prop
erly so. though referring to future and ex
isting enrollments An enrollment must
ever precede any action under the section.
It was. therefore, right to speak of the en
rollment as a pas? fuel—as something that
had been done. Regarding the section by
itself, ntiii as unaffected by other clauses iu
the statute, it npplies as well toauy future,
as to an existing enrollment.
But at the time of the enactment, there
was an enrollment, -nd pending draft un
der a call for additional troops, and this
appears from tLe provisos !o the loth and
27ih sections it is provided in the 15th
section, that the rule of credits fixed there
in shall not apply to the pending call and
in the 27th section it is "Provided, That
no'hing herein contained shall operate to
postpone the pending draft or interfere
with the quotas assigned therefor."
Neither of these provisions can be con
sidered as repugnant to the 13th section.
They 1 nothing more than prevent a con
struction of the Act that would change the
rule of credits as to the pending draft, or
that would postpone it,.or that would ibter
fere with the quotas assigned therefor.—
Indeed, Congress has. by implication de
clared that 1 lie ottota assigned for the pres
ent or pending draft shall not be interfered
with. This could have been done ih the
enacting part of the statute, but may be as
well and aptly done by proviso.
Now, if the corrections provided for in
the 13th section are made to apply to the
present draft, the quotas as assigned there
for will be interfered with. This is what
Congress has said shall not be done. After
the pending draft, the provisos will have
performed their office, and all future drafts
must be made subject to the rules prescrib
ed in the Act.
I am, therefore, of the opinion that the
Provost Marshal General is not required to
change the present quotas in the pending
draft by reason of corrections in the en
rollment, made since their assignment.
I am. Sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES SPEED,
Attorney General.

"Forever foal that Uandard sheet! ,v
Where breathes the foe. but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our ftet.
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us
THIS glorious news of the downfall
of the rebel capital is received nil over
the country with joy and rejoicing. It
makes the overthrow of the rebel pow
ers a certainty almost of the present,
and proclaims peace to be at hand.—-
Justness is almost entirely suspended
in New York and others of the large
cities.
EVERYBODY is interested iu every
thing that relates to the enrollment aud
draft and we therefore make no apol
ogy for the considerable space occupied
by the opinions or Attorney Genera)
Speed on various points in the new
law.
CLOSE upon the heels of the fall.of
Richmond, comes news that Connecti
cut aud Ohio have given heavy Union
majorities at their Spring elections—
Gov. Huekingham being re-elected in
the former State. The entire Radical
ticket was also elected in St. Louis by
3,000 majority. The good news pours
in!
AN INSTANCE OF THK PHOPITS OF"
S E E RAISING.
We have often spoken of the great
profits resulting from the raising of
sheep in this State. As an investment,
either for the farmer who takes them
as a portion tf his stock, or the capi
talist with means to go into the busi
ness on a hit go scale, there is nothing
that will yield better and surer retvrns.
The risks are few,—so few, indeed, as
to be scarcely taken into consideration
by those whose residence and expe
rience in the State enable them to
judge knowingly of the matter—and
the profits increase with each year's con
tinuance in the business. We are led
to speak of this at the present time, by
the following facts and figures given us
by A. Gilman, Esq., Receiver ot the
Land Office in this city, with regard to
the operations of his father, Gilman^
Esq., whose farm lies on the east side
of the Mississippi:
In the fall of lSGl, Mr. Gilman
bought, in Michigan. 370 head of
sheep, at $1.25 each. When they
reached his farm near Sauk Rapids,
the cost per head amounted to $1.75
The succeeding fall, Mr. sold sheep
and wool to the amount ot $1,000—or
$350 more than the total cost of the
original flock. In the fall of 1863, he
sold more sheep and more wool, tor
which he received $1,500. One year
later he sold what wool he had tor
$1,400, and the balance of his sheep for
$4,000. Thus, in the three years in
which he was engaged in sheep-raising
and wool-growing he realized $7,900
from an investment of $647.50 or, in
other words, every hundred dollars
originally invested brought him more
than a thousand. Mr. Gilman intends
purchasing another lot of these produ
cers of the "golden fleece" as soon as
the price comes down a little.
Probably the profits in the case we
have given exceed somewhat those of a
majority in the State, but not a great
deal. Our farmers are increasing their
flocks more and more each year, and
some are giving up almost everything
else and turning their exclusive atten
tion to this one branch of husbandry.
N E W USICV—-We are indebted to
Root & Cady for four new pieces of
music. he best, of these, "Tramp,.
Tramp, Tramp," is one of the finest
war songs we have as yet heard. The
air is beautiful, and admirably adapted,
to a march accompaniment. "The
Wounded lJoy of Kenesaw," is also
pretty,, though not equal to the .first
mentioned. We are coming from the
Cotton Fields," is more admirable for
the words than the musio, which is
rather tame. "Poor Mother! Willie's
gone/' is equal to the average of new
songs.
Root & Cady are known as amoqg
the most enterprising publishers in the
West, and their branch establishment
in St. Paul will be found supplied with
everything in the musical line that is
likely to be called for.

LEE RETREATING.
GRANT PURSUING.
On Saturday, the 1st inst., at 7 A.
M., Sheridan, advanced rapidly on the
rebel lines guarding the South Side
Railroad. Desperate fighting was kept
up during the entire day, resulting in
the capture of a number of the rebel
positions and 4,000 prisoners. At 9
o'clock at night a terrible assault was
made, and another line of works car-
ried and 5,000 more .prisoners taken.
Before daylight on Sunday morning
the rebels made a furious assault on the
lines we had captured, but wete repul-
sed. Little fighting was. done during
the day. At two o'clock the battle was
resumed and carried on successfully un-
til 6 o'clock next morning, when the
dispatch says "our colors were advanc-
ing all along the line/'
At 9 o'clock on Saturday night,
Grant heard of Sheridan's success, and
before ten his army was on its Way to
the rebel entrenchments.- At 10:45
the next morning he telegraphed, "we
are now' closing around the works of
the line immediately enveloping Peters-
burg." "u r- ••'.')
\t At4 30 P.M., he reported 12,000
