11 THJ9 DRAFT.'
'l By a Proclamation from Gov. Tod
published elsewhqro, it will ho seen
i that Ohio has furnished her quota' of
'.troops under the first call of 1863, and
" that therefore, tho first drufl ordered
will not lake place.
;, "A draft however, will commoneo on
i the 5th of January, 1861, unless Ohio's
" quota, about thirty-two thousand, o
the 800,000 lately called for by the
President, should be raised by v'olun-
,tary enlistments.
ii! It is thought that with proper effort
tno number may be raised without t
' draft. The government ofl'ors to eacl
; new recruit a bounty of 8302, 27 of
o which, and one month's pay, will be
paid at the time of mustering in; 810
, two months after muster, and the re-
, maindorin instalmonti of S40 at the
,,' and of every six months.
' The $300 exemption clause will prob
ably bo repealed when Congress meets
and the sum requirod be fixed at 8600
, or perhaps $1,500. It is to tho interest
of those who cannot go and nro nimble
to pay a largo exemption sum, to assist
in raising the quota by volunteer
ing. With aueh liberal pecuniary induee
u raents, the numbor required should be
1 raised without a draft.
HEWS OF THE DAT.
The news whjch we publish this morn
ing in cur special dispatches from Chat
tanooga is 'of great importance, .ihe
event reported being tho first decided
tianity and science to bring. uoout a
civilisation out of which could grow
the American Government ;lt required
a new country away from monarchies
arid empires in which to fbund it; it
required an ago producing a number
of tho ablest and purest men that ever
blest tho world to lay itsfoundutions
and organize it, and if it should now
be overthrown, " the clock of tho world
will go back, a century." Wo nro to
day settling tho question whether the
pooplo shall govern themselves, or
whether they shall be forever ruled by
a few who are inoro fortunate, or more
ambitious, or more wicked, or stronger
than tho rest, and we nro therefore
fighting the battle of the world.
These things have been often said
before, and perhaps need not bo said
agahi, Tho people need no other nor
higher reasons for sustaining the Gov
ernment than patriotism and self pro
tection. Those who love their country
and do not wish to'see it divided, hum
bled, and finally destroyed; those who
do not wish to sec Ohio a border State
exposed to raids and tho first desolu
tion jjf War; those who do not wish to
sco the State overrun with rebels and
their properly destroyed, will seo the
duty and the necessity of responding
to tlie'luto call of tho President for vol
untcers. , Those who wish to seethe
war speedily and successfully termi
unfed, und tho Union restored, will use
all their energy to fill the quota, re
plonish the old regiments, and thus en
able them to make short work of the
rebellion. Those who have a State
pride in making the draft light, should
do all in their prowcr to assist recruit
iiiL'. It is tho interest of even those
who oppose the war to stimulate vol
unteering, for tho druit will not dis
criminate between thoso who favor nix.
those who oppose the wnr. By a Un
ion of tho Northern people and by
promptly furnishing tho Government
with tho number of men needed, tho
rebellion before another year will bo
virtually, if not entirely, suppressed,
and a great majority of oiir'gullaiit vol
unteors will come marching homo to
their families and friends, with proud
stops. and flyiug banners, to receive tho
honor due to tho who risk all to save
their country.
"PEACE" OS

Vol In the Army of the Cumberland.
, THE BATTLE OF THE WORLD Til E
cam; for more hem.
An English statesman said that the
', Americans in this struggle were fight
ing the battle of tho world. This will
i be found true when wo consider the
-principles and institutions involved.
Whatever may be tho issue of the con
test, it will affect tho pooplo of the
,. world, either lor good or evil, for cen
turies to ;orao. Ono of tho first prin
'. ciplot for which tho government is eon
' tending, is the fundamental principle
of Democracies and Republics, vie: tho
. right of tho majority to rule. There-
, volt of tho Southern Stutcs is a most
wicked and unjust rebellion of a minor
ity against a mojority, uocatiso they
, are unwilling to submit to tho rule of
, the majority. It is therefore a rebel -!
lion against a prineiplo which lies at
1 the foundation, not only of tho Govern-
niontof the United States, but at tho
i foundation of Democracy und Repub
, llcanism. .Another principle for which
the Government is contending, is that
"', of Union against Secession, or, which
,' is ,tho same, of organization and life
against dissolution and (loath. It con
tends for the right to defend its exist
. ence and to maintain its integrity. To
' admit the right of secession is to nd-
l mit the right of a few disaffected cili-
., Bens to divide the nation and to over
' throw tho Government. It is to ad
1 mit that the heart, tho head, or the
". hand, are Independent of tho body, and
i may at any timo withdraw. It is to
admit tho right, when curried out, of
J " New York city to secede from the State
' of Now York, or of Cincinnati to secede
,.. irom the State of Ohio, or of a county
to secedo from tho State. Therefore
the Government contends against n
principle which destroys at once both
, Government and nationality. A third
prineiplo for which tho Government is
: contending is tho right of a Govern
ment, founded upon tho will of tho mu-
Jority, to coerce a disaffected and re
bellious minority into submission. In
, different form of Government tho
. , right of coercion would not he ques-
I' tioaed. But iu a Government founded
""upon tho consent of a majority of the
!'-;')copl8 of different States, this rlgiit
. . way bo questioned. Tho Government
., i therefore, if it succeeds, settles tho ques
tion of the right and the power of a pop
ular government to compel tho sub
, ' mission oi any minority of thoso upon
whoso will it rests.

Wo bear of Democrats who before
tho election were opposed to tho war
and who voted for Vullaudighum, but
who now declare themselves in favor
of prosecuting the war until tho re
hellion is suppressed, 'lhey ore satis
lied that tho great people of tho loyal
States uro in fuvor'of war, and are de
termined to restore tho Union by war
The question has been fairly' put, there
has been' a freo expression of will by
ballot, and all over tho North tho pco
pie have : declared lor a vigorous pros
ecution of the war by the most tri
uniphant and overwhelming majorities
Theso J'emocrals, who nro honest, say
they do not wish to opposo tho will of
tho pooplo, so fairly and decidedly ex
pressed.
Wo hear of other Pomncrnls who
since tho election compliment Brough,
and uoknowlediro that ho is an honest
man, and was one ol'lhe bcstStalo An
ditors and financiers in Ohio. We
are gratified to know that men are
overcoming party prejudice, and thai
they are beginning to seo that tho Un
ion organization is tin honest nnd pat
riotic one, organized for tho sole pur
pose of sustaining the government and
restoring the Union, ami not to break
down any party, nor for tho Abolition
of Slavery.
diutc front ,of our position On Mon
day night a detachment uhdor Col.
Stanley of tho 13th Ohio, crossed the
river below Chattanooga, surprised and
drove tho rebels from a ridgo oil the
south sido of tho river, thus opening
communication with ' Bridgeport, and
flanking tho enemy on Lookout Moun
tain. This, as wo understand the sit
uation, opens tho river between Chat
tanooga nnd Bridgeport, and this ut
onco secures tho relief to our army
which for some time has been on short
rations. Jo appreciate fully the im
portance of this event, ever, if it se.
cured nothing further than tho open
ing of tho rivir and tho railroad, we
must understand tho difficulty in reach -
ingChattanoogaby the mountain roads
which were tho only ones that could
be traveled with safety, and tho condi
tion of these was such that they were
almost impassible. When Gen. Rosc
ornns returned from C'hattanootra it
took him two days to make tho trip to
Stevenson. Mules nnd horses would
sink almost out of sight in tho quag
mires and the dead carcasses of these
animals were thickly scattered along
tho road. The diflicuty of supplying
a largo army over such roads, and un-
ler such circumstances, may readily
bo imagined. But this is all over now;
the river is open ; our forces are large
enough to keep it open ; and if, as our
correspondent predicts, tho enemy is
compelled to evacuate Lookout Moun
tain, ihero will be no difficulty in ac
cumulating supplies at Chattanooga,
and making it tho base of operation
against tho rebels further South. The
victory, therefore, is an important onci
and all tho more gratifying because it
was gained with but little loss of life
the casualties being only five killed
md eighteen wounded.

The Richmond Enquirer of tho 16th
inst., contains tho following editorial,
entitled ''Peace," which must profound
ly interest nltko the friends and cue
niiesof our country;
Savo on our own terms wo can ac
cept no. peace whatever, and must fight
until doomsday rather than yield an
iota of them, and our terms are :
Recognition by the enemy of tho in
dependence of tho Confederate Stutes.
Withdrawal of Yankeo forces ft'om
every foot of. Confederate ground, in
cluding Kentucky and Missouri.
Withdrawal of Yankee soldiers from
Maryland, until that Stale shall deeido
by a free vote whether she will remain
iu the old Union or nsk admission into
tho Confederacy.
Consent on tho part of tho Federal
Government to give up fo tho Confed
eracy its proportion of the navy as it
stood at the time ot secession, or pay
for the sanio.
Yielding up of all protonsion on the
part of the Federal Government to that
portion of the old territories which lie
west ot the Conlederato slates.
An equitable settlement on tho basis
of our absoluto independence and equal
lghts, ot all accounts ot the public
debt and public lands, and the advan
tages accruing Irom loreign treaties.
lheso provisions, we apprehend,
comprise the minimum ot what we
must require beloro wo lay down our
arms, 'that is to say, the .North must
all we, nothing. Tho whole
pretension of that conntiy to prevent,
by force, tho seperation of tho States,
must be abandoned, which will bo e-qiiivalent-
to an avowal that our ene
mies were wrong from tho first, and,
of course, as they waged a causeless
and wicked war against us, they ought
in strict justice, to bo required, accor
ding to the usage in such cases, to re
imburse to us the whole of our expen
ses and losses in tho course of tho war,
Whether this last proviso is to bo in
sisted upon or not, certain wo are, that
we cannot have any pence at all, until
wo shall be in position, not only to de
mand and exact, but also to enforce and
collect, treasure for our own reimburse
incut, out of the wealth' cities in the
enemy s country. In other words, un
less wo can destroy or scatter their ar
lines, nnd break up their Government
we can have no peace, and, it wo can
do that, then wo ought not only ex
tort Irom them our own lull terms and
ample acknowledgement of their wrong
but, also, a handsome indemnity for
the trouble an 1 expense caused to us by
their crime-
Now, we are not yet in position to
dictate those terms to our enemies,
with Rosccruns' army still in the heart
of the country, and Meade still on Vir
ginia soil; but though it is too soon to
propose such conditions to them, )'et
it is important, that wo should keep
them plainly boforo our own eyes as
the only admissible basis of any con-
, y ... il i! l :.-
ecivablO peace. IMS wen uxeu in iue
Confederate mind, thero will bo no
moro fearful looking lor news Irom
Europe, as if that blessed poaco were to
como to us over tho sea, and not 10 bo
conquered on our own ground. There
will be no more gaping for hints of re
cognition, and tilling or the belly with
the Fast wind; no moro distraction or
division from the single momentous
business of bracing up every nerve and
sinew of the country for battle.
It is csjiceially now, ut tho moment
when great and perhaps desisivo bat
tles nro impending at two or three
points, thai wo think it most essential
lo insist upon the grand and entire
magnificence of the stake und cuuso,
Once more wo say it is all or noth
ing. 1 his Uonlederacy on the j iiukeo
nation, one or the other, goes down,
down to perdition. 1 hat is to say, one
or the other must ibrleit its national
existence and lie at the mercy of its
mortal enemy.
e all know by this tune t no late in
store lor us il wo succumb, lho oilier
purl V has no smaller stake.
As surely us wc completely ruin their
armies and without that is no peace
nor truce at all so surely shall we
make them pay our war debt, though
we wring it out of their hearts. And
they know it well, and, therefore, they
can not make peace except through
their u tor exhaustion and absolute in
ability to strike another blow.
The stake they have to forleit then
il'lhev lose this dreadful game, is as vi
tat us ours. So is the stake to bo won
il'they win anything. It, is no less than
the entire possession of our whole coun
try, with us in it, and everything that
is ours, from Ohio to the Rio Grande,
lo have and to hold, to them and their
heirs forever.
But, on the other hand, what -wo
mean to win is uttor seperation from
litem for all time. Wo do not want
to govern their country, but after lev
ying upon it what seeuieth good to us
by way of indemnity, we leavo it to
commence its political life again from
the beginning, hoping that tho lesson
may have made them sadder und wis
cr ankecs.
We shut them out forever, with all
their nuclean and scoundrelly ways,
intending to lead our lives hero in our
own Confederate way, within our own
well guarded bounds, and without, us
St. John says, are dogs.
And let no Confederate feeble knees
and tremulous backbone say to us, this
complete triumph is impossible; say
that wo must bo content with some
kind of compromise, andgivo and take;
on the contrary, wo must gain all or
lose all, and that the Confederates will
indeed win the giant gtuno, wo take to
be as certain as any future event iu this
uncertain world.
Meade's nrmy and Rosecrans' once
scattered, Lincoln can got no more ar
mies. Tlio draft turns out manifestly
fruitless. Both the German and Irish
element aro now for pence. Tho Yan
kees huvo to bear tho burnt of tho war
themselves; but in the meantime their
inevitable bankruptcy is advancing
like an armed man. llungryruin has
them in the wind. It cannot bo long
before the Cabinet of Washington will
have, indeed, to consider seriously pro
posals lor ponce, under auspices ami
circumstances very different from the
present. For the present the wnr rolls
and thunders on. and -may God defend
ihe right.

A Gallant little Fight by General Sher
man. A correspondent of tlio Cincinnati
Commercial gives the following account
'of the Colliervillo fight., in which our
distinguished General, Sherman, again
displayed his splendid-lighting quali
ties :
General Sherman had rather a nar
row 'escape in going to Corinth tho
other day. Ho started upon a special
train, with bis own regiment, tho 13th
Regulars, as scouts, on Sunday last.
Arriving at Colliervillo, some twenty
miles from here, he found tho rond cut
nnd a force of at least 2,000 men, (some
say 4,000,) with several pieces of ar
tillery investing the place. ; Just be
foro his arrival, an unconditional sur
render had been demanded and ro
luscd. General Sherman immediately
threw himself and his escort into a lit
tle earth-work, where Colonel Anthony ,
with tho OGtli Indiana, was. Tho en
tiro forco was about 600 men, nnd with
out artillery. General Sherman as
sumed command ijnd fought with tho
samo energy and intrepidity that has
marked his conduct on great battlo
fiolds, for nearly five hours, repeatedly
repulsing four times tho number of his
own men. Members of tho General's
staff led several desperato charges, in
one of which Lieutenant James was
wounded. Inspired by tho General's
example, his command fought like he
roes. Somo twenty, negroes, officers'
servants, imitating the cxamplo of the
soldiers, took weapons and fought
bravely. Two of thorn were killed in
tho action. A Commissary building
being in their way, and affording shel
ter to the rebels, General Sherman of
fered a two-months' furlough to anj'
soldior who would burn it. A brave
lad, whoso name wo could not learn,
succeeded in firing the building. Con
sidering tuo numbers ot tho enemy, it
was a very poor fight on their part.
They had laid a plan to capture Gen
eral Sherman. They allowed tho reg
ular morning train to pass, nnd imme
diately cut tho road beyond Collicrville,
ai.d then passed around so as to get
between tho train and Memphis., lho
General was cornered, but not caught.
It was a good plan, and only good
fighting was necessary to havo made
it successful. It may seem strange that
the rascals could have such accurate
intelligence of General Sherman's move
ments. But it will ho so as long as the
Government recognizes guerrillas as
belligerents. Ono man was killed with
the oath of allegiance in his pocket.
(Ynotlicr bad bis leg broken, and was
left by tho rebels on tho field, who
came every day to town to sell vege
tables lo tlio soldiers, lhey aro loyal
citizens to-day and. pestiferous guer
rillas to-morrow; and wo need not
wonder that they are able to get relia
ble intelligence about every thing that
is going on hero.
