The New York World -ays : It is useless to disguise the flier that there is a strong pressure upon the President and Cabinet by men high in military station to re sort immediately to drafting to fill the ranks of our army to the number required to carry on tin* war successfully. At the present rate of recruiting to our regular army, the new regiments will not be filled up before January thus keeping out of active service our best regular officers at a time when their services are most required. The 23 ; oo0 increase of the ry^v j&rroy ought to i*e in ti* field before the 1st of October; but how to get the men without a draft U the question. It is feared by many persons here that tin* stoppage of all new-* res pec ing the condition of the army' is laHiug the North to fatal s*\ UTity. and that wc are credited wi ll twice the number or troops cn the line of the Potomac than we re ally have in camp. If such is the ca-e, let it be known. that while we have plenty of i. en to guard Washington, we want 60,000 more troops to make an effective forward movement^ With the complications like to ari.-e in Ken tucky within the coming month, and with what additional aid Gen.

In the gig-ir.'.ic battle of Leipaic, the allies had 1,570 guns, and Nspolcon 720. These he discharg ed 2*’>0,000 times. At Waterloo, however, the usual superiority of Napt Icon,s artillery failed him. In that action he had 246 guns, while the Bxiti.-h had but 150. It is an extraordi nary fact tha ? during the whole Peninsular War the quantity of artillery possessed by the British was much less than that of the French, yet the former were almost uniformly victo rious. It was when Napoleon brought hr batteries to play against the Allief that his success was secured. From Europe and tlic North.

Tue N. O. (Vcscent ?ays : There has been a good deal of talk about the Confiscation Bill; a very just and proper one to meet the robberies of Lincoln, Seward, Chase & Co. There are many fine siores on C unp, Canal and Poydras streets, which must come within the meaning and intent of the law. The great iron front store, corner of Camp and Common, will come within the law : stores corner of Bank Place and Gravier; sloivs corner of Poydras and Camp; stores corner of Cr.nal and Chartres ; the fine block co-rr.LT of Loyal and Bienville, known as Ro- ~mrnzo”\V.^Montgomery'a ; the large warehouse on Fulton and Front Levee streets. There vrUX be some hardships in som«' ca.es. For instance, the owner of one of ti e valuable corners on Chart roes and Canal streets resi ded in our city from 1818 to 1855, carrj ing on his business as a grocer, though he never spent over two summers in the city, t^e oth ers he passed in New Jersey and other places. For eveT twenty years he has ceased to be a ciiiz*n of New Orleans. He has a son who, wc believe, was born here and educated North, but who has resided here for many years. He is now fighting for the South, being a member of the Washington Artillery. As the party alluded to (the senior) is pretty well advanced it might not be oat of place to suggest to him to divid** his property anttrior to his being called hence, that the son, who is now en gaged and identified with the glorious cause of the South, may secure his share. There is also a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y. f formerly a distinguished lawyer of Attakapas, who owns two valuable plantations—one sugar. It will also go bard with him. He removed from Louisiana many years ago. As the South did not cast the first -tone, there cannot be any expected relief for those who have ignoiedihe South fi*r year-, and drawn large sums of mon ey from its great storehouse of wealth and riches. True, the present state of affairs may be and is without a precedent. But the stern arid unbending demands of justice and retali alien require the course indicated by the Aci of the Confederate Congress to be carried oiv to the fullest extent, and our own citizens who have suffered by the illegal and vile acts of the Lincoln, Seward & Co. dynasty, be remu nerated from the proceeds of the confiscate prope rty. As the Act is retrospective, taking effect from the first of May last, it may col nto question the rents paid by tenants since that date; therefore, tenants and hirers of property which is liable to confiscation, will do well to pay into the Confederate Treasury hereafter. No suits can be instituted in our Courts for residents in cur enemies’ dominions Now, Messieurs Tenants, you can either pay your rents or let it &h>n<*; but if you pay them now, with the law before you, you may have to pay them over again. We talk to you for your own advantage. According to law, there will be subjec confiscation: Seven thousand shares (S7no(n>0) Canal Bank. Three thousand shares (£300,000) Bank Louisiana Stock. Twelve* hundred shares Southern Bank. Some few shares of Citizens’ and State Banks, also .-ome few hundred chares (las Light Company, particularly those shares which have b:en transferred since the 21st of May, in expectation of senn* Act of the kind being p osed by the Confederate Congrats. Kr<>m the Daily Intelligencer. Atlanta, Sept. 9ih, 1861. Messrs. Editors : Just at this time when soldiers, soldiers work and every thing that pertains to the sol dier, seems to be the all absorbing topic of conversation, as well as the most vigorously prosecuted work that is carried on, there is one thing relating to soldiers work which seems to me has been neglected, or over-looked in the multiplicity of other cares about the sol di eT. I mean the manner iu which the work is done. I will give you one instance from among the many which have come under my obesrvation. Last week, ubout 8 o’clock, in the morning, I saw a woman hurrying by with a bundle of shirts in her arms, 1 ran out and asked her if they were for the soldiers’. She said “yes.’’ I asked her how much she was paid for mak ing them ? She ?aid, “ seven pence apiece, and it was poor pay.” I a-ked her how many she could make in a day Y She said six, and added that siic and her sister had made theta that morning. She had six iQ her arms. 1 then took one and examined it, and I think I may safely say that, the sewing would uot hold the shirt together ’till the soldier could got one wearing out of it ! Now this was a common-place conversation, but these arc facts. I can sew as rapidly as any lady, but to d the sewing good, and make shirts as soldiei shirts should be made, I coul I not make two in :i Jay. You see where the evil arises. As the dar key said, “pooi pay, poor preach.*’ This j» >or sewing is the off spring of poor pay. And just here let me say, l never pay loss than twenty-Jive cents for making a negroes shirt. j The woman who had the shirts, told me she j was making them for a certain dry good store in town. 8o passing by the store the other i day, I wont iu, and casually ask id the price of I the shirts. 1 was told one dollar. Now let see v.hat they cost the merchant— i say three yards of Hivkorv stripes at 22.1 cents I per yard, <1 presume they can get it at that | price from the Factory, j comes to S7X cents. ! buttons and thread 5 cent-, and 12'. for mak- ; g, makes the shirt cost him 55 cents. You e the profit! I think too l have overrated the number of yards, for when the last Regiment rendezvous-*! here, I noticed a number soldiers with tiio?.* shirts on, and the sleeves were too short by an inch or two, and so small they could scarce ly bend their arms. Now, in the name of all that is patriotic, is this right, to impo.-e such a shirt, such work, and at such a price oa our soldiers ? And in the name of all that is charitable, is this the right way to treat our laboring poor ? These same poor women make Haversacks ai 35 Cents per dozen—with thei»* fingers bleed- ing and that—his such rough work. I was afraid vhat Governor Brown had then> ade, but I bar** been informed this morning that he did nut. I felt too that our good Gov ernor who has done every thin/ ?o well, could t do a thin/ so unjust. If ladies were al- 1 >\vt*d to hurrah, how I would hurrah for him ; and, if they were allowed to vote, I would say Governor Brown forever! But while I am writing and finding fault, there is just one more item and 1 have done. a making up a box for the Georgia Hos pital, and looking over the published list of articles desired, I see they want Comforts 42 by 78 inches, and Matress Sacks 32 by 78 inch- Now I insist that 42 inc .es is not wide euough for a comfort; and as to the length, how unreasonable to have the comfort tLe same length of the mntnts*. I wonder if some gentleman did uot make out that list ? No good house wife did it I know. We do not wish to be extravagant uor at the same time stingy towards our poor sick soldiers. Wc want them lo have comforts large enough to turn over under, and every other comfort that we can give ; but we want a good standard to work by. Who will starts us Tight? I would also like to know if there is an ag ent or a committee to receive contributions to this Ifospotal in the city. If there is let them make ihcmselvr-s known through the papers. HESTER.

The East trig Judgment* “Let me kiss your cheek, Evn,” said Joe, as they were about tojppr&t Mr. Hale’s gate. “No, you nef^lhall kiss me, sir,” was tbe quick rejoivder, and she tripped up the walk leaviag the poor disconsolate boy to his sad reflections. Eva was an “independent individual” of her sex. But though her independence reign ed supreme, when prudence required it, yet her soft blue eye spoke the depth of affection, and the tenderness of her pure, warm heart* They had just returned from church. Joe lingered some time nt the gate in a kind of lost amazement, not realizing the flat refusal till her “light step*’ was heard no more. As he turned to walk away he began to reflect and soliloquize thus: Probably if I had took it, *1 would made no difference. What is there iu kissing? ’Tis the token of love—of all that is pure and holy And 1 only asked to kiss her cheek; and to thins I’ve paid undivided attention to her for two years, and nev er attempted to kiss her, and now she refuses to let me kiss her check. Never said good night, and I am going to leave the city in the morning to see her no more for a fo? tnight. I am determined it shall be a lasting judgment though a cruel cne. May honor as a boy for it, she’ll, want me to kiss her before I do it now. The following morning he left the city and remained away some time not writing to Eva a line, a very nnusual occurrence, to her. * * * * •* “1 am going to Conyers this evening,” said ¥rra are? sUid o*« I go with yodFt J TwouW ho a great pleasure to go—especially with you. Though if any one else is going, of course—” “O no ! no one else is going that I know of but myself.

I love you and that is enough ; speak and re lieve my suspense. At this moment the moon shot out from behind a cloud. All was still but the hearts of the two. Joe gazed in her face as she looked downward and breathed lightly for an answer. He thought of the kiss and the possibility of the correctness of his dream ; the “lasting judgment,” and grasped her hand tightly, and again ventured to say, “Speak, Eva, speak, for my sake relieve my suspense. Will you be mine? Will you have me with all my faults ?” She threw her head into liis bosom and in a minute was in tears. Every thing was silent for a moment more when he gently raised her head and broke its Lasting Judgment. May they be happy. Correspondence between Gov.

What can Lincoln do for Butler, after < “ great and glorious victory,” which b« wfl nesstd from a safe distance ? After they lial got aboar*J, and the cars in motion, .Joe fell iutn a dt*bp reflection on tlie past and present: occasionally taking a glimpse at the future, ^’ie had been thinking l«»ng of offering his* K ind and fortune, (rather fjte, as he was desolate of the latter,) to Eva, and had good reasons to think her answer would he fa vorable ; but for the few last times he had b* cn in her company hlie teemed so really dif ferent from her “former self” that he began to doubt whether or not she would accept. At all events he determined to propose the first real good opportunity, for he loved Eva “hugely” and d eed on h r as the only one that ever could make him happy. Their trip to Conyers was a pleasant one. Afa r seeing Eva safely to her cousins, Joe re tired to the hotel, though not without much teasing to stay «t Eva’s cousins, where, as her cousin -aid, he would have no hotel bill to pay. Tbe hot 1 bill made little differenc him, for he would not have slept there for ten times tin* amount, fi r he was something of a Fc i... ir.ibu:! -!, a: d was afraid he would talk or w 'U: in his sleep, and Eva aud her roguish cousins would have the joke oa him. He lay thinking sometime about various things after going to led, before he fell into the arms ot morphea-. He tho’t of the similarity between tlu* name of ike landlord, Thorne, and the pang which lmd penetrated his “centre of cir culation " Y»h.t a thorn it was to he in lo and not tc.i ;’.s*-::rcd that he was loved in r t'.rn. Aud in thinking of Thorn]so much, the word ••h < .*rii” came in his mind. He tho’t 1 .*.*'• sweetened with honey; horns straight, and horns cr* .kcd; of whiskey horns and firuudy l oi ns :.nd roiled and tho’t and tho’t and rolled till the “cough and quick turn" in a neighboring bed convinced him it was t f * sleep. And Joseph ’went to sleep and dreamed a diCam. This was not the Joseph of old, the interpreter of dream**, but it was ? m . in y vc, be dreamer. He dreamed hq had an opportunity and proposed to Eva; and that she nf flatly refused to have him l3 she did to kis? him. She told him she did not love him, that she loved Butler (who, however, was not the Butler of old, the chief Butler in the* h* US’* of i’haroah, but a would-be suitor of Eva’s, whom Joe abhorred as did Eva.) and that she meant to marry him. He tho’t he went directly and bought him a gallon of Bike’s Beak whi-key and prepared to take a horn, ilc arose from his bed to the astonishment of the young men in the neighboring bed aud stood in ti e middle of the floor. lie dreamed ou, that he drank freely of the sparkling Bikes Beak, and began to stagger over the room. The young men lit the candle to be 1 ihat there was a drunk man in the room. Joseph began to swear that he was the beat man in the Southern Confederacy ; could whip any man, and wound up by staggering back to his bed to get his pistol as he said, to shoot somebody. At this the young men got scared and left the room, called on Mr. Thorn to give them another room that there was a drunken man in theirs. Mr. Thorn went to see about it, but found Joe in bed, quiet. He looked fora bottle but could tfdt find none; then for a pistol but could find one. lie then woke him aud talked to him but found him duly sober in speaking. Smelt of his breath but could smell nothing but “hot wind.’’ After Joe woke up he talked to liis neighbors till they became satisfied and re tired. All hands gave way to sleepy feelings. The next morning he made his appearance at the breakfast tabic, and soon found that he at tracted much attention. He remembered his dream but had no idea that he had been out of bed. He observed that one of the young men that slept in the neighboring bed set opposite him. After breakfast he accosted the young man who told him the whole ; And how ho fre quently'called the name of Eva, and spoke of sane sort of judgment, and how they tho’t he was drunk. Joe made him promise secrecy in connection with the landlord, paid his bill and hunted the way to Evas’ cousins to spend the day. To bis astonishment, when he wi.lked in he was introduced to the other young man that had slept iu the same room with him the night before as Eva’s cousin. Joe took a d was mute, looking steadfastly at the arp t in deep tho’t as to whether the young . 1 told it ; nad if not lmw to keep him it. When he raised his eycshc>**w an rrupted laugh generally; the girla flung t.ueir handkerchiefs to their faces and Mowed their noses as if they’d blow ’em ofP At last they began to leave the room one by one, until all left but Eva ami the yuung man. Joe saw the secret was out and wished for something to speak about, but was choked. lie at last gasped “water,” and Eva shewed ntm the pail. While drinking she asked him how he rested tlic night before, and he replied that ho would hdvo rested better if he had not dreamed so much. Nothing more unusual oc curred on th. ir little trip while in Conyers; but on their way home they talked ubout the dream, and Eva wanted lo know what was meant by the “judgment.” He explained to her tho “judgment” the “lasting judgment ” that she once pronounced on hiui and told her she was the being of his existence, the object of his affections—and went on in this love strain till she had to remind him that they were in the cars among strangers. This silenc ed him, ns ho thought, forever, till Eva raised up and whispered in his ear, “wo’ll talk about that at Mr. Hale’s gate to-night.” Joseph tho dreamer remained silent the rest of the way hour GOV.

Recently a large body of soldiers have been enlisted iu the United States army and collect ed in military camps in the central portion of Kentucky. This movement was preceded by the active organization of companies, regi ment.-, kc., consisting of men sworn into the United States service, under officers holding cotnurissiGns from yourself. Ordnance, arms, munitions, and supplies of war are being transported into the State and placed in large quantities in these camps. In a word, an army is now being organized and quartered within the State, supplied with all the appliances of war, without the consent or advice of the au thorities of the State, and without consultation with those prominently known and recognized as loyal citizens. This movement now imperils that peace and tranquility which, from the be ginning of our pending difficulties, have been the paramount desire of this people, and which, up to this time, they have fo .-ecured to the State. Within Kentucky there has been, and is likely to be, no occasion for the presence of military force. The people are quiet aud tranquil, feeling no apprehension of any oc casion arising to invoke protection from the Federal arm. They have asked that their tcr- rb^ -y In: Lf; five oitiii&vy occupation, and the present tranquility of their eommut.i- caVion left uniuvaded by soldiers*. They do not desire that Kentucky shall be required to supply the battle field for the contending armies, or become the theater of the war. Now, therefore, as Governor of the State cf Kentucky, and in the name of tue people, 1 have the honor to represent, and with the sin gle and earnest desire to avert from their peaceful homes the horrors of war, 1 urge the removal from the limits of Kentucky the military force now organized and in camp within the State. If such action as is hereby urged be promptly taken, I firmly believe the peace of the people of Kentucky will be pre served, and the horrors of a bloody war will be averted from a people now peaceful and tranquil. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient s rvant, 15. MAGOFFIN. PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO GOV. MAGOF FIN. Washington, D. C\, Aug. 24, ISM. To liis Excellency, It. Magoffin, Governor af the State of Kentucky: Sin: Your letter of the 10th instant, in which you “urge the removal from the limits of Kentucky of the military force now organ ized and in catnp within said Stat-*,” is re ceived. 1 may not possess full and precisely accu rate knowledge upon this subject: but I be lieve it is true that there is a military force in camp within Kentucky, acting by authority of the United States, which force is not very large, and is not now being augmented. I also believe that some arms have been fur nished to this force by the United States. I also believe this force consists exclusively of Kentuckians, having their camp in the im mediate viciuity of their own homes, and not assailing or menacing any of the good people of Kentucky. In all 1 have done in the premises, I have acted upon Ihe urgent solicitations of many Kentuckifl^ and in accordance with what I belicved^md still believe, to he the wish of a majority of all the Union loving people of Kentucky. While I have conversed pn this subject with many eminent men of Kentucky, including large majority of her members "f Tongt **.*. I do not remember that any of them, or any other person, except your Excellency an l the hearcrB of your Excellency’s letter, has urged me to remove the military force from Kentucky, or to disband it. One other very worthy citizen of Kentucky did solicit me to have the augmenting of the force suspended for a time. Taking all tho means within my reach to form a judgment, I do not believe it is the popular wi-h of Kentucky that this force shall be removed beyond her limits : and, with this impression. 1 nuts' respectfully decline to so remove it. I most cordially sympathize with your I* v- cellcney in the wish to preserve the pence of my own native State, Kentucky; but it is with regret I search and cannot find, in your not very short letter, any declaration or intima tion, that you entertain any desire for the pre servation of tho Federal Union.

Jrjferson Davit* Richmond, 1 ’a., Sin : Since the comiiWUioement of the pres ent unhappy difficulties yet ponding in the country, tho people t>f Kentucky have indica ted u steadfast desire ami purpose to maintain a position of strict neutrality between the belligerent parties. They have already striven by their policy, to avert from themselves the calamity of war, and protect their own toil (Yom tha presence of contending ar mies. Up to this period they have enjoyed by the forces of the United State-, should their government approach it through Kentucky without respect for its position of neutrality. That such apprehension?, were not groundless has been proved by the course of that govern ment in Maryland and Missouri, aud more recently in Kentucky itself, in which, as you inform me, “a military force lias been enlist ed and quartered by the United States author! ties.” The Government of the Confederate State* has not only respected most scrupulously the neutrality of Kentucky*, but han continued to maintain the friendly relations »»f trade and intercourse which it has suspended with people of the United States generally. In view of the history of tie* past, it can scarcely be necessary to assuic your Exc el leney that the Government of the Confe lerat States wiil continue to respect the neutrality of Kentucky ?■> long as her people will main tain it themaelves. But neutrality, to be entitled to r speet, must be tirietly maintained between both par ties ; or if the door bt opened ou the one siit for the aggressions of one of the belligerent parties upon the other, it ought net be shut J the assailed where they s-ek to enter it for tl purpose of self-defense.

I have been away a week, so have seemed neglectful of your epistle. I was very glad to hear from you, and have thought of you frequently since wc parted on Broadway, after the purchase of that knife and revolver. If a bullet from the latter ha J been honored with a lodgment in the traitor Jackson's vile carcass, it would have been a pleasant piece of information. I am very much afraid your boys are not to have a serious brush with the rebels within tho un fortunate three months their enlistment. It will be a dry rain with them, if they make a return march up Broadway without having had a real grand tug with th-.* foe. It will b' like running the machine to a lire, and fmdin: the fire out. I hope, for their own sakes, they may have a chance to do a “big thing” with those infernal traitors, before they get home. I wish I could slip down and see you. Il would be delightful to sec the boys in fierc' ar- ray, spilin' fur a right, and no fight at hand. \Y- have great confidence in Gen. Scott up here, and we have confidence in prompt meas ures, also. There are some rebel batteries too close to Federal liuc« to make it particularly honorable or creditable. I think the boys would like to take those posts by the contract, and give g< od security for the prompt perfor mance of all engagements, and assume all ri.sks. 1 do not know but that wars, general ly, could be more rapidly and completely dis posed of by the contract system, than in the eld fashioned way All the munitions of war, as well a? the Commissary Department, are under the contract system, and you get glo riously cheated and sold out generally.
