M. THAYER, Editor.
J. S. SILVERTIIORS, Associate.
We copv, this morning, from a
special dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga
zette, a most ungenerous and ungentle"
manly attack on Gen. Roseecrans by the
Washington Chronicle. We have not
read anything for some time that gave
us so much pain or made us feel so in
dignant If Gen. Roseerans is in the
condition stated in the Chronicle, his
misfortune should make him sacred.
His great services are entitled to other
treatment than that accorded him by the
Chronicle, although his removal may be
just
Inefficiency of the Draft.
In another place we print an article
giving the reason for the failure of
the Eastern States in the recent
draft to furnish their quota of men
under the various calls of the Presi
dent It is well known by this time that j
the draft was an entire failure, as to
raising either men or money. Out of the
250,000 names drafted, the Government
obtained onlv about 35,000 conscripts
and substitutes, and a money represent
ation, under the $300 clause, of about
20,000 more. The remaining 195,000
slipped through the bill under the vari
ous exemption clauses, &c, the research
es of Prof. Lieber, who was employed by
the War Department, and furnished at
least 100 pretexts for exemption. In
deed, such a standard of health did he
erect, that, were the whole male popula
tion of the Northern States between the
ages of 20 and 45 drafted, it is thought
not over 200,000, would when measured
by his rule, would be found fit for milita
ry duty.
The failure of the draft to raise men
is charged against the $300 exemption
clause. How unjustly, is manifest from
the statistics we have above given. The
fault lies with the War Department for
adopting a standard of health to which
not one man in ten in the whole com
munity can reach If the object of the
Government was men, why should it
employ a distinguished professor to hunt
np excuses for exemptions? Why not
let the Examining Surgeons settle the
question as to the fitness of conscripts
for military service? But few of the
New Englanders, who have thus slipped
through the mesLes of the net, would
have objected to paying their $300, and ;
the Government would then have real-
ized something out of the draft wit
which to pay bounties to volunteers. Bu ;
under Stanton's management, it got '
j
neither men nor money. Jnow that the i
whole thing has proved a farce in the j
Eastern States, as every intelligent man :
supposed it would, the law is to be
amended so that it will catch those in '
the West. The people in the Western
StelM won't fancy this kind of an ar- '
rangement If the Eastern States can't
furnish men, there is no scarcity of
money, and they should be made to bear
esc share of the heat and burden of
the day. All through the last summer,
while the Eastern States have not had
their proportion of men in the field to the
extent of the number called for by the
last draft, the Western States have had
more than their proportion of men faith
fully discharging duty as soldiers.
This, it strikes us, is spurring a willing
horse too severely.
But what we desire to call atten
tion to more particularly is, that the
$300 Exemption Clause is not responsi
ble for the failure to secure men. Nor
is the law itself justly chargeable with
the failure. The War Department
alone is responsible for the deficiency.
It put a construction upon the phrase
"fit for military duty," totally unwar
rantable. Men were exempted when
they were, physically, the superiors of
thousands of noble hearted volunteers
who have served through the hardships
and toils of
many campaigns;
who have endured the piercing cold of
winter, the malaria of summer and the
storm of battle ; and are now ready for
any service their country may ask at
their hands. If the sons of wealth felt
that they could not possibly discharge
the duties of a soldier upon the field, as
little as they could ask would be the pay
ment of $300 each. In that case the
Government would have made something
o
more than a " water haul. " Had each
of the 125,000, (allowing 70,000 for bona
fide cases of exemption), who were set
at liberty by Prof. Lieber's " one hun
dred pretexts, been compelled to pay
his $300, the Government would have
realized the sum of $37,500,000, with
which to pay bou niies and hire substi
tutes. Thirty-seven and a half millions
oi aouars would have placed a
mfliir c n 1 1 1 1 . i-u in I. c.i i m.
great
j v.- ... iW ueiu. it mi
have removed the necessity for a second
draft
As the cne now stands, the Eastern
States are behind hand nearly 125,000
men. This deficiency will have to be
made up in the West In other
words our 125,000 gallant volunteers
have been offset by 125,000 drafted men
who were exempted from service by a
handsome little arrangement, originating
in the War Department and entirely out-
side of the Conscrint law. Mr. Stanton
is an ingenious cabinet officer. If, how
ever, his ingenuity was . more frequently
displayed in devising and executing
plans for the overthrow of reliels, we
would admire it the more. It seems to
us just now to be employed solely in in
terfering with the plans of successful
general, and screening his eastern
friends from sharing their proportion of ,
the dangers and hardships of the rebel
lion. Captain Tom Williamson is making
good headway with his cavalry company.
He has already enlisted about sixty men,
and expects to have his company full by
the 8th of next month. He designs can
vassing this county by townships, and
give the patriotic a chance to enlist in a
good (company. Vanderburgh county has,
as yet, done nothing in the way of vol
unteering under the recent calls. We do
not think she ought to be willing to be
behind other counties in this particu-
lar. The county is very large, the war
cannot possibly last beyond another cam- j
and those who enlist now will not
paign.
have to endure the same
endure the same amount of
hardships and dangers through which the
old regiments have Jiad to pass. The
8th of November is the time fixed upon
by the Governor for the completion of
his regiments. Vanderburgh county ought
to furnish two more companies; indeed,
she will have to do so. If no volunteer
ing is done, the inexorable draft will
make up the deficiency; and there
is every probability that the $300 clause
will be repealed as soon a3 Congress
meets in December; this will bring con
scripts up to the rack, and will occasion
much distress. How much better, by
iberal bounties and a little effort, to raise
the quota of our county by volunteer
ing !

TBE EASTERN PAPERS ON ROSECRANS RE

following double-leaded editorial: " We

in regard to the removal of Gen. Rose

learn, semi -officially, that in regard to
Critteuden this statement ifl false, and
nothing has warranted tho circulation of
such a paragraph. The blame, it is said,
AT ' . . ' . , m M
corinected with the failure at Chicam.iu
ga, will rest wholly upon llosecrans."
In another editorial, anparently writ
ten before the above, the Cironicle sava:
"It will doubtless te generally assum--)
ed that Gen. Roseerans' almost total ab
sence from the engagement was the prin
cipal reason for his being relieved of the j
command, more especially as the general
who bore the brunt of it has been appoint- I
ed in his stead. We have reason to know j
that his conduct ou that occasiqp, when J
the news o!' the battle first reached here," t
was severely censured by the military j
authorities, and was probably the turn- j
ing poiut in the decision that has been j
reached, but we hazard nothing in say
ing that prior to that there has been
grave cause of complaint against the
General. He was once before on the
eve of being removed, for a failure to
move to aid Grant, and make a diver-
sion in his favor by attacking Bragg;
and at another time was somewhat
strongly remonstrated with for his delay
in moving from Murfreesboro. General
Roseerans has, in many things, shown
himself a good officer, and his superced
ure, we believe, has been very reluctant
ly determined on, but neglect of orders
from his superiors will unfit the best man
for a miliary command."
The al.me are specimens of stories
the Eastern press are telling on tha sub
ject 9 WX s -
On the (. er hand, here is the close of
an editorial in last night's New York
Evening Pes': " The removal of Rose
erans will fill many hearts with sadness.
He has during the past year gained a
high place in the esteem of our whole
people, who thought with pride of the
itnlomnitable resolution which won the
great battle of Stone River, against such
fearful odds, and who have the belief
that Rosecarns is a man of pure patriot
ism and a soldier, and not a politician
only. It certainly would be a shameful
thing if so sudden a removal of suchjin
officer did not bring a pang to the pub
lic. No doubt the Government is fully
jnstiSed in withdrawing him from his
command, and the appointment of Grant
and Thomas is unexceptionable. The
presumption is that sufficient reasons
make the change necessary, but we shall
not be guilty of the meanness of charg
ing the victor of Stone River lying
asleep within sound of the enemy's can
non and surrounded by a flying army.
" Our Washington correspendent
writes that the health of Gen. Roseerans
has failed of late. We know that before
the last great battle he was quite ill, and
have heard that he had for some months
become subject to a disabling mental
disease, which must have affected his of
fice in the field. Whether these or some
other circumstances baused his removal,
we 'are satisfied that the good of the ser
vice demanded it, and that is enough ;
but it is not necessary to commit the
meanness "of circulating disgraceful
stories about the retired general, as we
notice the Tribune with discreditable
haste has done. "
Stories about Roseerans having epi
leptic fits, and being injured by the use
of opium, are circulated with great per
sistency; but it is admitted that these
were not the cause of his removal that
having been determined upon before they
were known. Government officials are
representing that dispatches show him
to have been fairly stampeded at Chica
manga The Chronicle has the following from
Meade's army:
Thus far the rebels have made no move
of consequence. In all probability they
will not.
The retrograde movement of Lee has
been attributed to several causes; but
we are inclined to believe that the chief
reason of his precipitate flight is his
fear for the result.
Our cavalry find no enemy in possess
ion of important gaps; and it is our iin
pression that Lee is making haste to his
entrenchments.
To this statement of the Chronicle it
may be added that our army yesterday
prosecuted its pursuit as far as
the South side of the Rappahannock,
having passed through Warrenton as
long ago as last Tuesday. Of course,
the foolish stories of intense excitement
here, and the probable invasion of Mary
land or Pennsylvania, of a battle being
imminent in front of Washington, of
danger to the capital, and the like, are
absurd; add the whole excitement over
the Eastern situation presents here an
aspect rather ridiculous than otherwise.
It is believed that but a single corps of
the rebel army (A. P. Hill's) was the
whole force in front of Meade's army,
and it was from this imposing force that
the Army of the Potomac was flying
back to the intrenchments of Washington.
Some such feeling as existed in the War
Department after the battle of Chica
mauga, is said to be now smouldering
there concerning these movements in
Virginia.
