More Men Wanted.

Under the call for the G00.G00 men last
made, to form new regiments and fill up
the old, Trumbull county has furnished
between $50 and 300men, the exac num-
Der we do not know. 1t is quite probable
that Ohio will be called upon for her quo
ia of the Co., 600 troops required without
regard TO the number furnished prior to
that cell. Trumbull county's proportion
would be about 1000. Allowing that 800
men have been raised for the lG5th regi-
ment and for replenishing the old regi-
ments, there are yet seven hundred more
TO be raised in this county. Now, j: is
nigh time that the subject was under
stood. For if this county is not TO be
credited with the t;oops furnished prior
10 the last call, there IS a heavy task be-
fore US, fellow-citizens, and We should all
be at work, especially if We desire to save
our county from the odium of a draft.
Cuyahoga count is moving nightly in
this matter. Money IS being literally
subscribed, and every step necessary be-
ing taken to raise "A complement Of men
equal to her quota, to be presented the
Government in lieu of drafting.
The question for US to decide immedi-
ately is, can we better submit to an in
voluntary draft of our men, than . vol
untary draft upon Dur pockets? One or
the other is inevitable. A general coop
Grafton to raise the money necessary to Sc
cure the men, viii be better and easier
for men generally, than to individually
depend upon the contingency Of procu-
ring a substitute at high figures.

The Congressional Convention.


The convention to nominate q Repre-
sentative to Congress from this District,
is TO be held at Garrettsville, on Tuesday,
Sept. I'd, and the primary township MEG
tings to choose delegates TO the Couven-
ton, on Saturday evening, Aug. Both.
The district now embraces the Counties
of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Por-
tage, and Geauga.
The candidates for nomination, 80 far as
we have learned, are, Hon. John Hutchins
of Trumbull, R. W. Tayler, of Mahuning,
D. Caldwell and Kellogg, of Ashtabula,
Gen. ]. A. Garfield, and o. P. Brown, Of
Portage, and Peter Hitchcock, o fGeauga'
Where the names of so many able and
competent men, allmen ofhigh character,
both public and private, are before the
people, we do not feel that it is our place
to single out any one Of them for special
praise; it will be fer the voters Of the dis
trict, through their delegates, to say which
one of them they shall choose to perform
the responsible duty of representing them
in the next congress. Mr.. Hutchins has
performed his duty in Congress faithfully
and well, and has the advantage Of expe-
rience. Mr.. Tayier is filing his office as
Auditor of State, in a manner which brings
praises from all parties. Gen. Garfield
has proved himself a statesman in peace
and a soldier in war. Messrs Caldwell,
Hitchcock and Brown, have each ably
represented their Counties in the State
legislature. OF Mr.. Kellogg, we person
ally know little, but that little is al in
his favor.

The rebels have been brought to a

tent, by g recent order from Gen. Stein

if their bushwhacking guerrillas kill any
of our men, two of their people would be
taken and hanged for each offence. Capt.
