nfederate States ought to have passed the Conscription law within one week after its first meeting. It had before it the disasters in which it had well nigh involved the nation by its shameful delay on a former occasion, and now, in the face of Lincoln's call for more than a half million men, and the thinning ranks of our gallant army, it has approached the end of the session without performing its duty. It is scarcely possible, consistently with the respect due the National Legislature, to crender by the North of its present position; it is only by feeling, acting, and organizing as if we were to spend all our future days upon earth in a state of war, that we can ever expect the restoration of peace. It has now become obvious that Lincoln will get all the men he calls for without the necessity of a draft, and if our Congress had acted with the promptitude which the occasion required, the requisite number of men might be already in the field. Upon the heads of those to whom a con

A Drawn battle. --The Washington Republican, (Lincoln's organ,) of the 19th, claims no victory at Sharpsburg. It says: The general impression made by the accounts as yet received is not unfavorable. Our troops fought with great bravery, and it is certain a good many rebel prisoners were taken. Nevertheless, the facts, which seem to be agreed, that the contest was not renewed up to noon yesterday, (Thursday,) and that Gen. McClellan had granted an armistice for the burial of the dead, give to the affair somewhat the aspect of a drawn battle. It such shall finally prove to have been the fact, it is not so satisfactory as a victory, but it is still far from being a disaster. The Republican then talks about the "thickening accounts of the death and wounds of our brave soldiers." It does not regard the fight as a "disaster:" but it is very evident, from its guarded language, that others in Washington do — and this will be the verdict of time.

The War. Of all the wars that has ever raged upon this fighting planet, Lincoln's war of invasion is the meanest and vilest, as well as the most absurd and unnecessary. Of the latter fact there can no longer be any difference of opinion even among Northern men. If South Carolina had been permitted to go in peace, the old Union would have been ultimately reconstructed without difficulty. If the proclamation for seventy-five thousand men had never been issued, Virginia would never have left the Union till the crack of doom. There was no people, community, or State, in all the North which loved the old Union with as disinterested devotion as the South in general and Virginia in particular. The North loved it for the sake of profit — the South for the sake of liberty. Every great name of Virginia was associated with its creation and its history. The Father of his Country was the son of Virginia. The greatest lights of its military and civic renown were children of the South.

ed a South Carolinian, are you going to keep your Southern Confederacy together on the States rights theory? "Give us a chance, and we will show you," he retorted. "If we don't make it work, we may return to the old Union, but not with Abraham Lincoln as President." The privates informed me that they had no tent equipage, and frequently marched twenty-five miles or more a day; but were content. "We are fighting for our country — what are you fighting for?" inquired a North Caroliniahoulder severely; Brigadier-General Mansfield, killed; Brigadier General Hartsuft, severely; Brigadier-General Dana, slight; Brigadier-General Weber, Brigadier-General Duryea, all slightly wounded. The Indian War — Dreadful Atrocities. Lincoln has authorized the Governor of Minnesota to let the draft go by default, and attend to the Indians. The troops raising in that State are therefore, to be sent to the frontier. The Manchester Record gives an account of the massacre at Lake Shet
