The Renegade Order

In anctber column we give place to the order of Secrelary Sta s ton pr'oliib iüng al! eitizens liable to be drafled iuto the military service loaving the country or thcir States uniil the draft has beeu made. 1 11 thu same connection ve give tlio Judge Aivocsto'a direclions for uurrying out tlie order. Perlnps tlio order is both necessary and wist, vet we regret i t s i;sue. Men wbo will run away f rom a draft are not fit to bear arma and cap. pot le depended upon as soldiers. They are eithor halfbearted patriota, full hearted traitors, or wbite livered cowards, and in eithcr case will do their country more service abroad tban at home, If drafted ihey would bo cor:sidored deserters, and an oriler no more arbitniry tban the one obstrueling tlieir fuing away miglit prohibit tbeir coming back, aid tbus the country bc well lid of mi i;('-} wbo will turn tbeir backs upon lier in her time of nood. And tbis latter courso would not have made an open oonfession to the world tliat our citizens were fleeing in sueli nunibers as to make it necessary to bolt the doors; and, what is no le.-s iinportaiit, would not have put power into the hands of officials of all grades to detnin bonest eitizi'iis whose basioess requires llicm to 20 from State to State. Too mueb power is confided to too small officers. Ipy Gen. Robbkt McCook, of Ohio, v;is niurdel'ed on tin; 5lb inst., ne;ir 6 iloin, Abi., ' y a iu' rula pn tt v.
