Refuses to draft. --The Secretary of War under the Lincoln Government has concluded not to draft the militia, but to rely on the people's love of country, for volunteers — an announcement which will fill with delight millions of patriotic hearts. It is difficult to decide whether the refusal to draft, or the dependence of the Lincoln Government upon the popular affections, will cause the greater satisfaction throughout his dominions. The sweet, ingenuous confidence of the romantic Cameron in the virgin simplicity of Northern patriotism cannot but touch a responsive chord in the Northern heart.

What has become of McClellan and his army? Will Old Abe once more don his "Scotch cap and long military cloak," and retrace his steps, via Harrisburg, to Springfield? With what mingled emotions of admiration and pity the Confederates will regard Sec'y Welles, the last survivor of Noah's Navy Department! Will Cameron make good his retreat, and hide himself in one of his native coal mines? What will become of Seward and the Blairs? How happy Lord Lyons will be, and how many ladies' mansions will be illuminated! Why, the leading rebels will find themselves quite at home in Washington, and we cannot believe they will go any farther. Mrs. Jeff. Davis will occupy the church pew she has long since engaged, and Jeff. will peregrinate the White House grounds and fling stones, for pastime, at Jackson's stat
