FILL UP THE RANKS.


We are pleased to see that, in spite Of
the ,eAorts,of the Vallandigham party in
Ohio to prevent it, the response of the
people to the call of the President for
volunteers, is very encouraging. We
trust Meigs County will do more than
her proportion of the good work. The
signs are, that the "coneiliatoryp policy
heretofore pursued is about to be
changed, and the war prosecuted with
vigor. We don't believe the new re-
cruits will be required to guard the
niggers of the rebels, while their mas
ters are numbering Union men in a
guerrilla warfare.
E@Don't fail to read the noble, fear
less and patriotic letter of Governor
Yates of Ill, to President Lincoln, on
the eonductsof the war. Massachusetts
first, and then Illinois-the East and
West-through their Governors, have
given expression to the earnest convic :
tions of all truly earnest loyal men. :
Others. will follow soon. And. the rec
ommendationwill be heededg 1t will
be found after while. that it will not do
to outrage the sentiments Of all the loyal
States, to please a few pro@sIavery half
secessionists in Kentucky. The half
million of noble volunteers, wasting
their lives in guarding rebel property
and their millions Of friends at home
will thank the Governor for the noble
words he has SO fitly, and SO timely
spoken. -. -.

The Springfield Republican on
General Mcclellan.

The Springfield Republican, alludlng
to the article in the New York World,
defending Gen. Mcclellan from his ira
ducers, and exposing the meanness
malignity ard ignorance of Senator
Chambers attack, says:
We cannot believe that General
Mcclellan needs these newspaper de-
fences. The country at large is fully
aware Of the difficulties he has encoun
tered since he took tho command of the
army of the Potomac. We all know
that h e took a lot of raw recruits, and
in an almost increditable short space of
time organized an army, and supplied
it with the necessary equipments; then,
advancing upon Richmond by way of
the Peninsula, we know and appreciate
the successive victories he has gained,
although McDowell's corps was taken
from him, on whose support he count
cd in making speedy descent on the
rebel capital, and though his almost
daily calls for reinforcements were only
answered by dribbles, not sufficient to
supply the natural casualties OF war
We know too, that in the seven days
battle Gen. Mcclellan accomplished all
that mortal man could do, more
could nothave been expected, when in the
face of greatly superior force OF rebels
he changed his position and was victo
rious in every successful encounter
against numerical odds. We all re-
member these things, and while the
army of the Potomac has not accom-
plished what we hoped and expected it
would, the great heart and mia'l of the
country does not blame General Nc
Cellan for his shortcomings, and he
does not need any labored defence.
Still We are not sorry that his friends
have given ia a detailed and connected
form, history of his operations. 1t
will be valuable for future reference,
and it may induce some who are wav
erlng to give heartier support to our
young general. We hare no hopeS Of
conrerting Senator Chandler. Had he
been a man he ,oould hare died IF shame
before this. lie has girca more aid and
comfort TO Tie pncn,y than almost any
other northern man, anil zoe are confident
that he wiH get his re,oard in The future.
1t is we'll to hold him up to public ex'
ecration, and expose the falsehoods he
has told about General Mcclellan and
the army of the Potomac. But while
il is well enough, we do not consider
it at all necessary. General Mcclellan
is still the idol of his army, and has the
confidence ofthc people, that is, of those
whose confidence is worth having, until
he does something to endanger the lossot
hat confidence he will not care much,
we take it, about newspaper defenders,
and will defy all the deprcciating meas
ures of such malignan:s as Senator
Chandler.

THE WAR IN THE WEST,
From New York.

New YORK, Oct. 90.
The Harpel's Ferry correspondent Of
Philadelphia Press, under date of the
9th says:
News received here to-day from Gen:
Pleasanton's advance confirms previous
reports that the rebels are retreating rap
idly up the valley.
Winchester was evacuated to-day, and
it was thought that Strasburg would not
be held with any large force.
The entire rebel army of Northern
Virgiaia is said to have been divided into
two bodies, under jackson and Long
street.
Jackson's column is moving directly to
Staunton, where it is said winter quarters
for large force have been improvsed.
Longstreet moves to Gordonsyille, it is
thought.
Gen. Burnside moved south 10 day, and
is now on his way to Winchester, meet
ing no enemy; but his cavalry have
caught considerable number of strag-
glers.
Our forces will occupy Winchester
during the present week.
1t is believed that Gen. Burnside will
come up with the rear guard of Long
street, and that fight will enshe; and
General Slocum's corps has been sent
forward to support him.
The entire army of the Potomac will
move across the river as soon as transpor-
tation for supplies can be secured.
Special to the Post, dated Washington,
Oct. 28th, says:
Gen Hooker's furlough expired yes
terday, and he reported to the War De-
partment. His foot is not yet in a con.
dition to render it quite safe for him to
go into the field Circumstances may
be such as to demand his presence with
his division. even at the risk of serious
consequences; but it is said to-day that
his surgeon objects to his going into the
field for another fortnight.
The complaints that have been made In
many of the regiments because Of the
non payment of monthly wages and the
lack of suitable clothing, will now be
satisfied, as the President is determined
that soldiers shall be well clad and
promptly paid, and the proper Depart
ments are busy attending to acquisitions.
This applies to the troops in the West as
well.
