The New Recruits.

The best thing the Government could do
with the new recruits, instead of putting them
into camps of instruction under inexperienced
officers, would he to fill up all the regiments
now in the field with them as fast as they are
recruited Put al once into organized regi-
ments, with experienced officers over them, the
men would learn their duties muck more rap
idly, and would in battle be as good as troops
which had been often under fire. for they will
be surrounded by veterans, whose example
would not be lost upon the younger soldiers
Napoleon always filed up his regiments in
the way instead of taking entire regiments
of raw recruits into the field. BY this
means be obtained at once an effective
army, without the trouble Of long train
ing and the danger Of bringing raw recruits
into battle. Every regiment before Rich
n1ond should be raised as fast as possible to
Its full compliment, and this done within a few
weeks, would give Mcclellan such an army
with the reinforcements which he had receiv-
ed, that nothing could keep him out Of Rich
mond.-[ [Phila. Ledger.

A Washington correspondent of

A Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial, says tho
late editor of the Circleville Watch
man, J. W. Keys, who was arrested
end ordered to be sent to Fort W ar.
ren, for reasonable articles in his
paper, has been released, principally
by the effort of Hon. S. S. Cox, and
that he is now in Washington. The
ground urged on his behalf, were that
the fellow is evidently doranged.-
We hope this may be good excuse
for this treason, but others talk about
as bad as he does, and have upheld
Kees in his crazy course. Perhaps
all of these men are crazy. Perhaps
treason is but huge manifestation Of
either loss of sense or want of sense
Uut, crazy folks have to be watched.
They must lie carefully put out and
kept out of all places oil trust.-Xenid

CoNGREssIoNAL.-o the I9th inst. a conven-
ton assemblies in this place for the purpose of
putting in nomination candidate For Congress
to be supported by the Unien men of the sth
district. The counties comprising the district
contain an abundance of suitable material from
which to make selection. aud we doubt not
the Convention will present candidate worthy
the cause he will be called upon to represent
in the National councils, and one upon whom
unconditional Union voters can concentrate
and bestow their cordial support.
In oil contests for political prcferment in the
party with which we act. we have regarded It as
our duty aud it has been our uniform practice
to stand neutral between aspirants previous to
nomination and after the nomination is made
to support the nominee, whether OF not our
our personal preferences were reflected in the
result. We do not propose to deviate from this
rule of action at present, further than the cir
cumstances Of the case will warrant--its appli-
cation being confined to the limits of our own
county--home candidates always having the
preference when brought in competition with
those from other counties. In regard to Con-
gressanal nominations, we have for years con
tended for recognition OF the rights of Del
aware county in the distribution Of candidates,
and our views on that point remain unchanged.
So far as We are apprised our county will
have but one candidate before the Convention;
and this being the case, we presume he will of
course receive the vote OF the county, backed
by all the influence her delegates may be able
to exercise over those from other eounties
The candidate rAferred to is Hon. J . R. HuBBEIL,
present Speaker of the Ohio House of Repro
sentativeE. He Is so well known to the citi-
gems Of our county, having been born and al
ways resided within its limits, that any attempt
on our part to enliehten them in regard to his
public fife or qualifications for the position for
which he Is proposed would be decidedly a
work OF supcrerngation. Suffice it to say, his
requirements and Legislative experience are
silch qualify their possessoT for satisfactory
discharge Of Congressional duties.

Discovery of Gold in Ohio.

The New Philadelphia Advocate
says that gold has been discovered
near Canal Dover, Tuscarawas coun-
", Ohio. The Dover Iron Company
has been drilling for coal for some
time past, few days ago the augur
struck a rich vein of gold quartz, at a
depth Of about 375 feet from the sur
face. The quartz seemed to be full Of
gold, ard several gentlemen pronounc-
ed it full as rich as the best Califor-
MIA quartz. For some days the dis
covcry was kept secret, but itlinaliy
leaked out, and the country round
about was so excited at the news,
that throngs of people focked to the
scene of the operations. The excite
ment is still tremendous, and people
continue to come in from Eli dircc-
tions. The company has been com
PEELED TO enclose the ground with
stout frame, in order to enable The
workmen to GO on with the drilling.
The quartz becomes richer with gold,
as the augur descends.

Fearful evidence of the existence
Of treason in Indiana, to an extent
known by few except the guilty par
ties, is afforded in another part ofthis
paper. The United States Grand
Jury at indianapolis have thourough-
II Investigated the subject, and on
proof that is incontestible show thas
there are $4,000 members of an order
directly in league with the Secession
lists of the South. They have plans
to avoid or defeat legal proceedings
against them; they are sworn to resist
the collection of Federal taxes and go
armed to their meetings The Indi-
annapolis Journal states on this latter
point, that during the late Copper
head Convention no less than five
hundred revolvers were sold. Sixty
of the scoundrels have been indicted
sixteen of them for treason.

Volunteering and Drafting.

A man who volunteers for service
in the army receives the full bounty
being $27 advance money, one month s
advance pay, $13, and $75 at the end
OF his term of service, and, if he choos-
es, he can have 160 acres of bounty
land. His family, also, receives pecu-
MARY assistance during his absence
Those who are drafted, however, re-
ceive no bounty money. no advance,
no bounty land, and but $13 per month
pay. They are also required to serve
for nine months, which time may he
extended BY Congress if required
This should stimulate young men to
enlist as volunteers rather than draft
cd. They benefit themselves to a
crater extent by volunteering. and
they serve their country better, be-
eide enabling the Government to
bring the war TO a close. Time is
everything. A strong blow struck at
once and speedily will crush the life
out Of rebellion, and that mouster
once crushed, the ordinary business
Of the country will revive again, and
labor find plenty ofrcmunerative en-
ploymenf. DELAYS will cause the war
to prolong itself for years, wasting
the substance of the country, putting
a stop to all clnpIoymcnts and rcduc-
ing labor to such a condition that it
will have to seek the ranks of the
army as a means Of support.
