why the Change.

Some months ago the Republican papers frs-
quently called attention to the fact Of the ex.
istence of strong Union sentiment In the
South. Even that rabid Abolition sheet, the
New York Tribune, insisted that majority Of
the Southern people were loyal In their hearts
to the Union, and that tone-hsl, or at all events,
one-shird Of the soldiers in the rebel army we're
ready TO seize the frat favorable moment to de-
clare themselves on the Union side.
But OF late these same Republican papers
have become wonderfully silent on this head.
We hear no more from them about latent Un.
ion sentiment In the South, and the propriety
and necessity Of ito development In fact, we
are told that 70 such thing exists to any extent
worth mentioning in the far South, and that Il
is apparently fss. dying out In the Border
States. We meet daily in Republican journals
strong intimations thstIn Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri, and Maryland the rebellion is ossum-
log greater and more formidable dimensions
than 1t has ever before presented. aud Is threat
ening to enguIf the mass Of the people In the
vortex Of secsfslon.
The sxplsnasion Of ell this is 50 simple and
plain that che who runs may read" So far
from attempting TO cOnciliate and foster the
Union sentiment Of the South, the action Of the
dOmi1ant Republican party and the Legislation
Of lie IusJorily In Congress have been directed
to dampsn and extinguiSh that sentiment. It
iS owing TO that action and that legislation, that
the mass Of The people 10 the Border States and
4 large potion Of those In the more Southern
are not to-day EsaIous and active in the defense
Of The Constitution and Union.

A Fortress Monroe correspondent describes
the visit of Gen. MCCLELLAN to steamers
load of sick and wounded soldiers at Harrison's
Landing, as follows:
He went around among the wounded, pausiDg
at the side Of each one, and having kind and
cheering word for all Dressed plainly with a
blue blouse, void OF strap aud star, many of the
poor fellows were at frat unaware of his pres
ence. Stepping beside the stretcler of one
who had lost his leg above the knee, the Gen.
eral asked him how he felt, 10 gentle tone shat
aroused and touched the heart OF the feeble suf-
fersr. He replied that hs did not feel well at
all, and expressed dependency in the course Of
his conversation. The Assistant Surgeon then
remarked. "Don't you know who this is7"---
"Nc." "Why IL is your Genersl-General Nc
Clellan!"
The eyes Of the soldier llghlened up, biz
breast heAved, his lips quivered. General
Mcclellan! AhI General, shall never fight
under you again, unless you allow me to come
back with wooden leg"

RnIsa Allegation.

The Ohio State Journal, paper whose chief
capital consists 10 making false charges against
Democrats. stated the other day that hotel
keeper of Mansfield, named Miller, "who has
long been suspected OF secession procllvities.'
was badly whipped by an Unionist named Nj
man, who knocked him down and pounded him
until he "bellowed Ikea CALI" The Mansfield
Shield correcis this lying statement, and says
that although the gentleman named had diff.
Guilty, II grew out Of o lumber transaction, and
had nothing whatever to do with politics. The
Shi.ld further says that Mr.. Miller Is good
Union man, who has always borne the character
OF quiet and unobtrusive citizen MT. Vernon

The threatening Aspect OF the Re-
belltOm.

Great ALARM Is evidently being felt By those
In authority at the growing formidable aspect
Of the rebellion. Hence. the recent calls for
six hundred thousand additional troops-one-
half of whom are to be raised by an immediate
draft for nine months service.
A General ia TO- be appointed with his head

serve peace along the border and guard against

Of Vicksburg abandoned. Fears are entertain.
ed and openly expressed in Republican journals
that the rebels may recapture New Orleans,
notwithstanding the vigorous war policy" in
Augurated by General BUTLER,
Apprehensions are also expressed in regard
to the safety Of Gen. MoCLELLAN's army, un-
less It be speedily and largely reinforced, owing
to the reports that the rebels are massing large
bodies of troops in and around Richmond, de-
signed not merely for defense but fer sggres-
sive operations.
Though many false and exaggerated state
ments have recently appeared in regard to
large additions to the rebel navy, 1t seems tc
be generally conceded that several new see and
river monsters have recently been built by the
Confederate Government, and others are In the
courae of construction
Altogether the rebellion presents more
formidable and warlike aspect at this moment
than 1t has done since the commencement Of
the war.
But considering the vast resources In men and
means possessed BY the loyal people of the
United States, this display Of military power
and energy on the part Of the insurgents need
not create serious apprehension, were |. not thai
the var-cries Of Abolition Republicans for free
ing and srming slaves, and ex.erminsting the
white inhabitants Of the South, and the partisan
sectional legislation in Congress which, 1t wae
said, would forthwith crush out" the rebellion,
have tended to multiply its adherents tenfold,
and have given Il vigor, strength and energy

tls CoLuMBus, August A. 1862.
To the Sssesl County MlitoTy Committee:
sisa The many Inquiries made in reference to the
recruiting service induce me to announce to you
IN this manner:
!. That ohio's quota Of troops under the re-
''@ ospt call is 40 600, tO-wit For the Forty6fth
Fiftieth and Fifty second Regiments, 20OO; for
a The seventeen new regiments, l7,0OOi for the
three German regiments, 5000; for the old
regiments now in the field, 1900
3. That your efforts should be extended to
ald In alli1g up the old regiments as well as to
the particular regiment assigned to the district
m In which you live, and that the funds placed in
your hands to be offered as bounty should be-
distributed equally to all who may volunteer
40 for either regiment.
q. The rules to govern drafting are yet to be
7st prescribed by the President ! have requested
him to authorize me to exempt the counties
bed afrom draft that may furnish voluntarily their
full quota; and If so authorized, Of which I
have no doubt. pledge the several counties
that Il shall be done. 1t will not be- practicA-
bic, however, to extend this 10 townships or
wards.
4. II 10 not supposed that any further call will
be made upon Ohio. but Of course no pledge can
be made on this point.
5. Recruiting is progressing quite sstisfacto-
riIy In nearly ell portions Of the State; hence
have bat little doubt that Ohio will furnish her
quota BY voluntary enlistment Should !. how
ever, unfortunately be disappointed In this, then
81 drafting will be resorted to. for Ohio must be
thsarst to respond to the Presiient'srecsnt call.

Grand Republican Discoyery--A
Gtand Jury Ina Indiana Find a
uarep6 Nest,


The Grand Jurors Of the u. S District
COuf. for the District of Indiana have made
a discovery, the last of which we shall not
probably hear for some time to come. A
sworn secret association has been feneted
out, and presentation made of lite existence,
which occupies something over a column in
the Indianapolis papers. Clothed in gars
composed partly of the formal phraseology
of legal document, and partly Of the in
tensitives of q sensation newspaper, the thing
at the first glance, appears formidable and
alarming, A slight examination, however,
makes II palpsble either that the Grand Ju-
rors have been culpably and ridiculously re-
miss in the performance of their duty, or
that they have lens themselves, voluntarily
or otherwise, to become the vehicles Of some
baseess gossip, set ahoat for party purposes
If what they state is untrue, they have said too
much; II il is true, too little. Not thinking II
worth the space, We shall not print the document
but, as IL is In their line, probably our Republi-
can contemporaries will. We gladly yield to
them the precedence, and, If they desire it, the
copy right for Ohio. To us, as il identifies
neither time. place, person or circumstance, II
conveys no information. 1t discloses nothing
and, we presume, because there was nothing to
dsclose-upon which to predicate legal proceed
iDgs; and will probably answer the end to which
il owes its existence, in supplying the organs Of
the Republican party with something upon which
to base sweeping charge Of treason against
the Democracy, aud perhaps to furnish an ex-
cuse for putting Indiana and the neighboring
States under Martial Law: that is to cay, to
subject the persons and property Of their citizens
to tho capficiOus will of some military COM
Enquirer.
