A Dran Finally Ordered: The President has ordered a conscrip
tio of three hundred thousand men underj the lavr ol 1796 as amended at tlv3 recent session of Congress. In a day or two the Secretary of War will furnish instructions as to the manner of enrolling; and drafting, doubtless naming those who will be exempt from military duty. We published the law in full in our issue of the 22d of July, and our readers are probably familiar with its details. The firßt three sections of the law embrnce all that refers to drafting ;nder the call of the President, and as a "lauer of general inters .. reproduce 1 ibem: I Sectios Ii That whenever the rresident of the United States shall call forth the militia of the States, to be employed in the service of the United States, he may speeify in his call the period for which such service will be required, no! exceeding nino months; and the militia so called tsluill b mustered in and continue to serve for and during the time so epecified, unless sooner diaohaiged by command of tho President. If by reason of defects in existing laws, or in the execution of them, in the ßeveral States, or any of ihem, it shall be found necessary to provide for enrolling the militia and otherwise putting il.H act into execution, tho President is authorized in such caße to maku all necesessary rules jind regulations, and the en lollment cf the militia 6hall in all cases include all able bodied male citizens between tho ages of eighteen and forty five, äud shall be apportioned amoig the States according to representative population. Sec 2. And be it further euacted, That th militia, when so called into service, shall be organized in the mode perscribed by law for volunteersSec, 3. And be it further enacted, That he President be, and he is hereby author ized, in addition to the volunteer forces which he is now authorized by law to raise, to accept the services of any number of volunteers not exceeding one hundred thousand, as infantry, for a period of nine months, unless soor.ei discharged. And every soldier who shall enlist under .he provisions of this section shall receive ids first month's pay and also $25 as boun...tering of his company r regiment into the service t tue United States, for three years or during the war, except in relation to bounty, shall be, and ihn tame are extended to, and are hereby declared to embrace the volunteers to bo raised under the provision! of this section From a cotemporary we tAke tho (ollovving in regard to who are exempt from luili arv service. The following, compiled from an official source, will serv to answer very many questions that aib being propounded just aa this time: I. Physical debility is a good ground of exemption, and ehould. in all cases of doubt, be established to the satisfaction f the enrolling officer, by a physician's certificate, a& well a the affidavit of the party. Tl.i tollowing imperfections are proper causes of disabiiiy: Wound of the head: which impair tho faaltiis or cause convulsions; seriois impairment of hearing, speech or vision; anchylosis, or acxive dis. ease of any of the larger joints; the presnee of pulmonary disease or organic di ease of the heart; irieduciblo hernia; fistula in ihe ano, or varicose veins which extend above th knee, the loss of a limb, or a thumb and forefinger on the right hand, or aoy two fingers on either hand; the los of the great toe; any marked physical im perieclion which would unfit for active service. 2. Tne following persons are exempt under the laws of tho United Slates; The Vice Preshidnnt of the United Sta es, tie dficaiR, iuJicial and executive of the Uni ted States, the members of both Houses ol Congress and their respective officers, all custom house officers, with their clerkR, all poBtoffioers and stage drivers who art employed in the earn and conveyance of the mail of tho postoffices of tho United States, ferrymen employed at any ferry on t e post road all inspectors of ports, all pilots, all mariners nclually employed in t ih Re a service of any oitizea or merchant within the United Slates. 3. Fireman in active service and those who have served as firemen are exempt, . except in case ol insurrection or inva sion. It appears from tho law that a largo dis cretion is left with the President, and he may regard, as lb Secretary of War has already done with reference to telegraph operators when the wirea are uaed for the convenience of the Government,, an ex emption of other classes of tho commuity as advantageous to the public service. Ao.ha law r:id "the enrollment of ihe milkia shall, in all cases include all able bodied men between the ages of eigl t-en and forty five. Their is no provision in tho law for ubstitutef, but th Pres iJent may supply this deficiency. As it is,
the system of enrcuent is decidedly democratic. It tak all, if physically J able, and of proper e, trom the Gover or to the humblest czen, high and lov, rich r.nd poor, leard acd uneducated, preachers, la .vyers .doctors, everybody. The evident spirit oilio law is, that it is alike incumbent on cry citizen to come forth in the hour of nd for the protection of the Government. And it is risiht that there should be no priloged classes when the honor and the tegrity of the nation is to be maintained. Kapoleon the Great fought some of his tost brilliant battles with conscriots. Uler the Roman Empire the armies weieupplied by the conscription of her fretcitizens, while the serfs remained at hem to till the soil. To make a conscrition acceptable, thfc enrollment and draft lust be fair. There must not be even a rjestion in those regards. If there is .ny favoritism, any party or partisan biav manifested, it will not onlv cause dissatisaciion, but mav ie suit in something woße. A dishonest or partisan assessor can jasily fail to enroll the nameä of a portionof bis party friends, and omit others in thefinal selection of the number to be enlisted. We hope that none bat honorable citizens, abuve reproach, will be appoin'ed assessors; men who will impartially and thoroughly discharge the duty entiusted to them. State Sentinel. Hit) lis in the United Stute. The Chicago Tribune chuckles at the idea of converting South Carolina into an other Ilayti, and there U good reason to believo that we have in our country a few busy bodies in politcs, who would contributa to establish two or three black republics in the midst of our white ones. With their idea of the "equality of laces," which they inform ua was the object of the bill authorizing diplomatic relations with Ilayti. they canno: see why it is not both possible and desirable that the negroes should dominate in two or three or more of tho Onited Stater, and bi represented in Congress and tho Cabinet. To aid in this consummation every effort is mada to gather together as many 4 'contrabands" as possible iu order to teach them. Thi3 leaching, we may he pretty aure, i iueudod tioi o:- 'hem such knowledge in will be useful to them in any probable future of theirs, but to ii still intc their minds notiDns of personal and political equality and independence which will be a source of trouble hereafter to both black and white and perhaps to tho government f tiie country. These educational experi ments are justifiable upon ro grounds of either nocessity or utility. Surely no mac is fool enough to depend upon thera on the ground of "military necessity,' and there is no better reason fur upholding them. They needlessly and wantonly defy and condemn the laws and customs of States where they have been initialed. But, then, the fanatic3, who iusligate them, think they will help to realize the dream of negro equality, and to reduce 6omo of the States of our Uuion to the condition of nayti, which condition in their eyes, is a result not to be deprecated, but to be desired.

THE DECISION OF THE rilESlDENT. Special Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Gazette. Washington, Aug. 4, Certain prominent western gentlemen waited on the President to-day to tender h'm two negro regiments from the West, the organization of which could be completed and they ready to take the field within ten davs. The interview was protraded and tho discussion covered She; whole ground of arming the negroes with
all its possibilities for good and evil. The;tJeof seccssioni3m and brought their President finallj closed by saying that Le i l ob!e oJ commonwealth up fair and
had made up his mind not to accept, ai present the service of armed negroes. He would use them as tesmsters, cooks, and laborers on inlretichtnenta and in (-very capacity save fighting. He declared that to accept legiraents of armed negroes would be to lose forty thousand white soldiers now in the army, and would drive some of the border Stales out of the Union. Ho had deliberately made up his mind to this policy, and would adhere to it, unless totally new circumstances require the change. This announcement causes the utmost astonishment among western men who had supposed Jim Lane's ptoject fully authorized by the President himself. His determination upsets that whole scheme, and will also work decided revolutions in plans eliwhero. It is believed that the President cannot now consistently tllow Hunter to po on wuh his colored w regiments in South Carolina, and will put an end aUo to the Organization of negro troops in numerous other quarters. Special Dispatch to the Herald The efforts of those who love the negro more than the Union to induce the Presi dent to swerve from his established policy are unavailing. He will neither be persuaded by promises or intimidated by threats. To-day he was called upon by two United States Senators, aud rather peremptorily requested to accept the ser vices of two negro regiments. They were tlatly and unequovically rejected. Tbe President did not appreciate the necessity for employing tho negroes to fight the battles of iiw country, and take the positions thaw iL -r .u- .uvi . ters and sons of patriotic sires, should be proud to occupy, thsro were employments in which tho negroes of rebel masters might well be engaged, but he was not willing to place them upon an equality with our volunteers, who had left homo and family and lucrative occupation, io defend the Union and the Constitution, whiio there were volunteers and militia enough in the loyal States to maintain the government without resort to this expedient. If the loyal people were not satisfied with the policy he had adopted, he was willing to leave the administration to other hands. One of the Senators who had preferred this request was impudent enough to tell the President he wished to God he would resign. This interview between tlnse apostles of neoro elevation and the President has presented a direct issue. The whole country will rejoice that Mr. Lincoln has expressed his determination not to degrade the gallant volunteer, who are now bleed ing and djinrj for the Union and the Constkution, by acceding to the demands of tho few fierce fanatics who would pervert the war for the Uuion iuto a simple abolition raid. The decision of the President in this case settles the question as to the admis siun of neuro brigades. Ono of the Senalois aMuded to was from Kansas, and thus thj Tiibuno's story about Jim Lane's ne gro regiments is at once proved a bursted bubble; ditto Greely's red breeched negro brigado, and tho negro regiments that have beeu reported to be organizing in this district. What hk did say: Tho Louisville Democrat censures Mr. Voorhees for an expression put into his mouth by Repub lican papore. It will appear from a correct report of what he did sty that his po sition will meet the appoval of every honet man in tho country. We copy the following from the Terre Haute Journal, which satisfactorily explains the positon of Mr. Voohees. Tho editor of the Indianapolis Journal says that Dau Voorhees stated in ß speech at the Court house, in this city, ou Sat urday that he intended to "stand between the farmers and the taxgaiherorg." Voorhrea paid no such thing. lie eaid that in Congress he had stood between the farmer and the tax-getherer, in exposing the frauds and corruptions of Government officials. He did not intimate that the people should not cheerfully pay tho taxes levied upon them, but, on the contrary, he told them it was the duty of all to stand by the Government. Sme unscrupulous Republican has lied to the Journal about the speech of Voorhees. An crigioa! Jdea to fill this line is wasted.
Wlicrc arc Hie True Union JEcu If thera bo a cla33 of men throughout Ihis broad land whose Datriotistn is less to

And yet we find these border State Union men, in Congress and out of it. standing side bv side with the Democrat ic party. What then? Either the Democratic party is a loyal party, or these border State men are tools aid incompetcn to judgrt for themselves. Their Unionism and their loyalty cannot will not be doubled. For twelve months or mora it ban been the prido of Indiana orators to point to the loyal men of Kentucky. Are they irrational short sighted men? We cannot" believe it. On hd contiary John J. Crittenden stands for h fis tho last in a long lino of great and glorious Statesmen. A, Ho was the friend and associate of Henry j Clay and Daniel Webster.

It is a littlu difficult to find men wh will openly confess to Abolitionism. As a directory wo ßuggest the following infallible rules: He adoies Fremont, and finds in his emancipation proclamation in Missouri, a sufficient excuse for all his peculations and corruption. He styles all men of whatever par'.y who differ with him in measures of policy in the conduct of the war, as secessionists and no belter than Jeff. Davis. Hgives aid and comfort to tho 6neray by proclaiming that a large portion of the people of the North are secessionists, and sympathize with traitors. He tlou't be liove iu tha freedom of 6peech or of the press, unless to preach and disseminate the principles of negro equality. He favors "no party ism" but a blind de votion to the leadership of Phillips, Wade fc Co. He don't believe that McCle'lao Umuc of a General, but favors Greely's on to Richmond policy. Upon close questioning, he acknowl edges he is not in favor of the restoratio i of the old Union, but wishes the subslitu tion of some modern Utopia of f roe negroes Ho delights in blood letting where the lives of Democratic soldiors food the stream of blood, but will fight his battles at home over the Tribunes and Libsrators.
