There are muny who are considerably cxcercised in tbeir, minds, just at lb.- : j present, when the "draft" isviear at hand, 1 ' comprising two classes— cowards, and ! traitors in secret; and furious arc the ' j expedients 'resorted to Co evade it.. /Jfever was there a time in tho liistory ' of our country when there wero so many Bjltivalide.- Why, one might think there !nad been a sweeping epidemic thinning Whvcr the fond. But ttyrc is another clou, who have cottciuded to travel fot , tha benefit of the(r afflicted minds ■s Some have gone to "enlist In the nary" i e jxff they say flbul wc would just like to ' ' see tho navy they enlist in. N,ow we j 1 1 have a word of comfort for those who j i have "skedaddled'' for evasion. Wc |.<Vould inform tkietn that if they can get ! a i entirely ont of the ranch of the aoihore I hies, they are safe enough ; but if not, and tbeir names ero among the drafted, they, will be erreatedjat any time during the war that tbey can be jCanght, and ^ made to serve tbeir tirar, on half pay, ; under guard, in working cn fonificn ' tions. Now that is certainly "comfort " to the afflicted." If they wonld evade '* the draft, "let them volunteer, or help to ^ raise a bonnty-fnnd for toinnlcers.
