Many > ' t are accordingly preparing to swallow the bitter pill of McClelJan, rather than the 'nauseous one of Lincoln. We collect together the foilowing outgivings on the subject: ,,1 The Ciucinnati Enquirer, thejbomc organ of ; Pendleton, warmly supports McClcttan anil de- j nouhces the N. V. JVcusv.

We would, however, say to f ' our farmers, planters and country fcqnsumers generally, that if tlicy club together for any partienjar District, and appoint a responsible agent here, they can have their salt at the' prices to which the salt boilers Lave- bound themselves to suorrtv consumers, else the boiler refusing to supply at these prices will not have his detail renewed. We may advert to this matter again, and fnrnish tho names of the salt boilers so detailed.?Charleston Mercury. * ?? ' Tuk Draft.?Nobody wants to be drafted ?nobody wants to go.

The pressure of the draft is made by the Administration and its party leaders?they who are exempt or who can procure exemption of the first part, and them to whom nothing is left but submission, of the ?ocond. The "pro|>er precautions taVen by the president ''to guard against resistance'' are not against any particular party, ; but against the whole people.
