How many men deserted in the civil war?
They tried to count them, but they gave up! In the Union army, there were the Bounty-jumpers - the bad Northern draft system effectively encouraged this. The Confederates suffered endless desertions, partly because the poor white trash were naturally lawless people. But in the second half of the war, the Confederates were largely barefoot and starving. And Lee's army in Virginia included many regiments raised in Georgia. When these men heard about Sherman's March to the Sea, they felt they were needed at home, and they deserted, virtually 'en bloc'.

Slippery northern men who collected fees?
These sound like the Substitute Brokers who exploited the unfair draft law in the North which allowed rich young men to pay someone else to do their service for them. You have only to look at the logic. Who were these substitutes? Men too young or too old to be drafted in the ordinary way? Men who had been rejected as physically or mentally sub-standard? Or men who had been dodging the draft and had to be dragged along to the recruiting stations? The brokers who supplied these substitutes were deeply cynical types who just wanted their fee, and had no interest in the fate of the armies.
