Apportionment for the War.

AID jutaEt General Gaylord has made
report to the Governor, of the num-
Der of enlistments in the various coun-
ties in this State, prior to the recent
calls for new troops. There had been
already enrolled, 1868 men in the
nineteen infantry and the three cavalry
regiments, the artillery batteries and
the sharp-shooters. The number re-
quired in the call for the six regiments
now forming is 5000, and the number
under the draft Of 100000 men is H.
9o4-making total required from this
State, independent Of the men needed
to fill up the old regiments, Of 42,557.
The following table shows the whole
quota of each county Ia the State-the
number furnished and the number to
be furnished. The first column shows
the proportion already raised in the old
regiments to the whole number of in
habitants:

EMENT.-The demo-

A PARTY MovEMENT.-The demo-
cratic state committee and large num-
Der Of leading democrats of the State
met in Milwaukee last Tuesday a week,
and il was unanimously determined to
organize that party for a contest this
fall. The state committee resolved.
says the Nescs, 'sto hold Grand Mass
Convention Of the democracy and con-
sentative men Of the state at Milwau-
kee on the Sd day of September next
the convention for the transaction of
business to be composed of four dele
gates from each assembly district"
Previous to this decision, in a gene
raj consultation among the attendants
at the meeting, the Nescs says that
''the hope was expressed that the state
committee would forthwith prepare for
the thorough organization of the state,
with view to an appeal to the people
to return none but conservative Union
men to Congress, and to thorough re-
demption of Wisconsin from the ruin
Gus rule of the fanatics and revolution
lists now in power"
Under these circumstances, it may
be proper for the republican party of
the State to preserve its organization
and nominate openly avowed repubh-
can candidates.

The War News.

Culpepper, Aug. IL.
The flight of Stonewall Jackson
shows that he fears our troops. On
Saturday he engaged with his whole
force, numbering at least $4,000 men,
a portion Of the corps of Gen. Banks,
who behaved most nobly, holding the
enemy in check, and with the aid of
one division of Mcdowell and Sigeps
corps, which arrived late in the day,
driving the enemy from several posi-
tons and finally from the field of battle.
The battle was decidedly the bloodiest
of the war.
Gen. Pope has fully met the public
expectation Of him. The enemy not
only show their backs to our faces, but
the Valley of the Shenandoah, and the
whole country from Manassas to Cor
louisville is no longer polluted by the
presence of armed rebels.
Jackson's servant has Just come into
the quarters Of Gen. Mcdowell and
reports that his master admits loss of
over 1000 men in the engagement of
Saturday.
In the Third Wisconsin, Lieut.. Col.
Crane and Capt. O'Brien are killed,
and Major Scott is seriously wounded.
Two officers are missing. This reei-
ment went into action with IL officers
and 426 men. 1t was in the hottest of
the battle. Lieut.. Col. Crane was shot
three times; either of the wounds would
probably have been fatal.
Utica, Mo-, Aug. Is.
The federal forces under Col. Guilar
caught Poindexter's band of guerillas
at Compton's Ferry, on Grant river,
on Monday night. They killed ten or
twelve, wounded and drowned about
twenty. They also captured Poindex-
ter's whole train, one-third of his hors.
es and arms, and all his baggage and
ammunition.
LaClede, Mo-, Aug. IA.
Col. Guilar overlook PoindeSter's
guerillas again yesterday, at Yellow
Greek, Clinton Co. He routed and
scattered them in utter confusion, and
took sixty prisoners. 1t is believed
that Poindexter's effective force is en-.
tirely destroyed. He and the remnant
Of his band are fleeing southwark, but
will doubtless be caught.
Madison, Aug. 16.
Volunteering is extended to the 22d
inst, to apply upon the draft. Com
panies organized in the different local.
ties will be accepted and consolidated
with regiments.
By order of the commander-in- chief

north Of the Junction, and also from
the Junction in a westerly direction up
the valley Of the North Anna river
Small camps were visible at several To-
calities along the railroad from the
junction 20 the crossing of the common
road from Fredericksburg, where an
other large body was also eucamped.
At Louisa Court House was another
large body, and thence to Gordonsville
several regiments were strung along
the road in camps every two or three
miles. From Gordonsville. where there
were not more than SIX or seven regi-
ments, heavy force could be seen
camping in the hills, stretching to the
north east, and then in the direction of
Orange Court House.
He stopped ten hours at Gordons-
vile, and during that time he saw not
less than ten trains arrive over the Cen.
trail r. r. from the south and the Char
louisville r. r. from Lynchburg.
My informant, Judging from what he
saw, says the whole confederacy in
Virginia is, by this time, in position on
the Virginia Central r. r., and that it
numbers nearly ESQ, 900 men. ...s..-s
Stonewall Jackson was said to have,
left Gordonsville, but none knew his
whereabouts. .a-.
Our informant passed through Stan
nardsville, and saw quite heavy force
at that point. They were not encamp-
ed, and seemed prepared to move.
More troops were said to be march
ing to the same point from Charlotts-
vile and Gordonsville. This looks as
if they contemplate a flank movement
against Pope's right; if so, it will prob
ably be led by Jackson. .r

Two Collisions.

Acqula creek, a., aug. IA.
a collision occurred on the Potomac
last night off Ragged Point, between
the steamers Peabody and West Point,
involving the loss of 70 lives. The West
Point was bound for this place from
Newport News, with convalescent SOL
diers of Gen. Burnside's army. She
sunk in ten minutes. The Peabody
brought the rescued soldiers and pas
sengers to this point.
There were 254 soldiers, four officers,
three ladies, and one child on the West
Point. At Fort Monroe she took II
men on board, making 279 in all.
The accident occurred On Wednes-
day evening: at eight o'clock. The
Peabody, which was partially disabled,
could only render assistance with boats.
There were several vessels in the river,
which rendered all assistance possible,
and by their combined efforts 2O3 per-
Sons were rescued !; all the crew, except
a fireman, were saved. The boat was
beached as soon as possible, and sank
in about four fathoms.
A portion of the missing may have
been saved, as several small boats and
schooners were seen to pick up men.
The two captains have been put in
charge of the Provost Marshal here,
and the affair is being investigated.
