The sneaks have pretty much all secured their exemption papers, and can now rest satisfied that Uncle Sam cannot call upon them to assist in defending their homes, but must provide for such contingencies elsewhere. Although the rush is not so great, still Mr. Thompson is kept quite busy, and probably will be for a day or two to come.
But now that the Government has concluded not to draft, how very unhappy these fellows must feel. They have disgraced them-selves, and are "marked men." They will never be able to prosper in this community, for every true loyal citizen will detest and shun them.
