FoRTREss MONROE, July 29,-The
mail boat arrived here this p. M, from
Harrison's Landing.
A movement o: some kind is hourly
expected with the army.
Yesterday Gen. Mcclellan issued
orders for every man to be ready for
action at any moments notice
1t is though that an attack by Gen.
Jackson may be expected at any time
and it is not known whether he will
attack Pope's or Gen. McClellan's
army. ee aid H ,sialeG .dst
1t is the prevailing opinion in the
army that an immediate movement is
to be made, but few probably know
where to find Jackson, as the rebels
say he takes what men he wants and
goes where he likes, and does as he
chooses with them.
The Elvira has Just come from City
Point with about $50 Union prisoners.

They left about 400 at Richmond who
will be down in a few days, which
will close the list of this class of pris-
|oners.
Richmond papers OF. the 26th have
been received, but contain no news of
any Importance. They are nearly all
taken up with extracts from Northern

Drafting,

1t is the opinion of many and it seems to
be reasonable one, that the effort to raise
the troops under the late call, will not be
successful as general thing, even under the
stimulus Of the large bounties offered, that
drafting will have to be resorted to pretty
soon, and ifso, it might as well be commenc.
ed now. Such is the talk on our streets of
almost every one we meet. Let us have
draft say they, and if I am drawn, will
willingly go. II somebody else draws the
prize, let them go. 1t is the fair way.
Such being the sentiment here, we hope
our State authorities viii be prepared prompt
ly to put in motion the machinery for draft
ing the instant it is made manifest that the
quota of the State will not be raised m time.

Our Delegation to the State Con.
ventiOn.

This county was represented in the State
Convention in part by three gentlemen who
heretofore have been prominent and honored
members of the Democratic party. We
connot say how the new association seemed
to the gentlemen of Democratic antecedents,
but we can say of the others that they had
every reason to believe that the new connec-
ton was mutually agreeable. In fact, the
ties which bind loyal men together are
stronger than old party feelings and attach
ments. In other words, we may say that
Union Democrats and Republicans, enter.
tanning the same views in regard to the war
and the necessity Of its vigorous prosecution,
naturally and necessarily assimulate every

brotherhood anyhow. Acting together in
the same orgaization, is merely giving out.

Recruiting i'm this County.

We desire to call the attention of our cit
liens throughout the county, to the urgent
necessity of promptly filling mp our quota
of men required for the Regiment to be
raised in this Congressional District. Re-
cruitng in the adjoining counties is proceed
ing with great rapidity.
Mr.. Joy informs us that he has already
recruited large number of men for his
company, and that the prospect for obtain
ing the remainder, is favorable. This compa-
ny should be filled up within the next ten
days, and can be by little effort on the
part of our people
There is, however, hindrance In the rap
i'd filling up of companies, and that arises
from the attempt to make up more than
one company in the county at the same
time. The correct policy is the union of all
effort on behalf of one company, and after
that is filled and sent off, then, if necessary
unite in raising another. If every town in
the county could raise a company, there
would be no objection to its being done
but it is impossible. Efforts of this kind
result in the collection of several squads oil
men enrolled with the expectation of serving
under some man of their choice. Both off.
GERS and men are dsinclined to give up
their particular organization, and each holds
off in the hope Of filling up to the required
number. This course not only binders re-
cIuiting, but occasions dissatisfaction among
recruits themselves, for if they enlist with
an officer whom they prefer for command
er, there is no certainty of his success in
raising full company, aud therefore, the
recruit Is liable to be placed under some 9TH
er not as acceptable to him. The proper
way is for all to unite in filling up one CON-
pany at time-and we hope this course
will be pursued now. In this way one com
many can be raised soon. Come forward
then at once! The Bounty offered by
Government will enable every married man
to make ample provision for his family. In
addition to this it is hoped that our Board
Of Supervisors will vote sum of money to
earh Volunteer. Men of Wapello County |!
let Il not be said that draft was necessary
10 fill up the quota required of you.

The Supervisors.

A petition is in circulation requesting a
meeting of the Board of Supervisors, to take
into consideration the propriety of making
an appropriation for bounties to those who
may volunteer. Such action is being taken
throughout the country, and we hope Wa
pello county will not be behind her sister
counties in this good work.
This is much the fairer way to raise this
money than by a subscription. It would
then be levied equally upon all the property
of the county, and would bear lightly upon
individuals. There is no sense or reason in
few hundred individuals being taxed to
promote an object of such universal concern
ment. Besides the time Of starting the sub
scription, Immediately after the call for a
meeting Of the Supervisors was inoportune.
One plan at time, gentlemen. If you think
it right and patriotic to raise $4,000 for
this object, give every one chance.
