COLUMBUS, o., Oct. "a, 1868.
To THE PEOPLE OF OMro--I take plea
sure in announcing to you the gratifying
fact that our State has furnished its quo
ia Of troops under the first call of 1868,
by voluntary enlistnfents, and is thereby
relieved from the first order for draft.
You are aware that secoad call has
recently been made by the President for
three hundred thousand troops. Ohio's
quota OF this nu umber is not yet fixed or
determined. 1t will vary but little, how
ever, from thirty-two thousand. Time is
given US until the 9th day of January
next to raise this quota by voluntary ell
listments, on which day draft has been
ordered for any deficit that may then ex-
ist. 1t is believed that, with proper ef-
forts, the entire number can be made up
by volunteering. The troops now called
for, will be assigned to regiments III the
field, hence no new organization will be
made.
Recruiting officers from the old regi-
ments, are now being sent home, and |
respectfully ask the hearty operation Of
the several County Military Committees
in aiding them to fill up their respective

The Situation of the Potomac Armv

The Army Of the Potomac now holds
the country east Of the Rappahannock,
with no signs of battle. The hasty re-
treat of the Rebel army, their officers say
was caused by want of provisions, and
when Stuart passed through Warrenton,
he did not stop to feed his men, though
he admitted they had eaten nothing for "a
hours. 1t was also said by their officers
that having destroyed portion of the

The mode Of carrying on the contest by the
patriots is essentially different from that
adopted by them In 1S30-3l. It resembles, in
good degree, the guerilla system adopted in
certain Of our Southern border States. The
lmperlalists have possession Of the principal
cities and other strongholds; but whenever
they make their appearance in the rural dis
tritts, they are assailcd By an unseen foe, WHO
knows every foot Of the country, and takes
advantage Of every strip Of wood or acre Of
morass. If defeated, the Poles retire, and
perhaps march upon another detachment to
achieve q victory By 4 sudden surprise. Their
yaior is beyond NIL praise, as has been shown

longing to the same race rs the Western Rus

Rumored Rebel Reverse
at St. Helena.
SOME LIGHT ON THE PORT
HUDSON RUMOR.

NEW YoRE, March 20.-Thc following ex-
plains something Of recent matters near Port
Hudson:
Dispatches from jackson, Miss, dated
March 18th, have reached Richmond, stating
that St. Helena was attacked in the rear on
Monday, March Stl, and that heavy firing WIS
heard there on the 18th. St. Hclenn is about
twenty-five miles in the rear Of Port Hudson,
in an castcrly direction, and when ne rcmcm-
ber that the forces Of Gen. Banks have been
for some time moving In that direction, from
Baton Rouge towards Port Hudson by the
Amitc river, the heavy firing may probably
be accounted for from the fact that Port Hrd-
son is being invested By land and water. It
Is Il remarkable fact, in this connection, that
the Richmond Hhig Of the 18th nou7ns over
reyerses in the Southwest, and 1t is equally
remarkable that dispatch from Port Hudson
was read In the rebel Senate on the same day,
which caused . lively sensation.

(from the Morning journal, Kingston, Jamaica,
March 8.
A few days before the steamer North Star
sailed from Key West, communication was
received from Rear Admiral Bailey, from our
Consul General in Havana, In which be stated
that he Ind just received Z tc1cgraphic dis
patch from the United States Consul at Trini-
dad dc Cuba, saying that an English brig had
arrived from Kingston, Jamaica, with he in-
formation that the Alabama reached that mort
on the 20tli ult., and had landed the remain
ing officers and crew Of the United Statea
steamer HAttcras, sunk of Galye5ton-oyer
one hundred in number.
Immediately upon this news being received
In Havana, the United States steamer Wa
cAusett and Oneida sailcd direct for Kingston,
aud the Santiago de Cuba and r. R. Cuy1er,
then on the south side Of Cuba, were ordered
at once to the same port, md the Tioga aud
tion.
1t is not at Ill improbable that the Alabama
has at last been hemmed i'll By st,uadron of
not less than six ships, may be more, If her
repairs kept her in port four days, she Is block
AIDED to n certainty, for the entrance to the
hatbor OF Kingston Is narrow, aud can be
etectunlly barricaded by six vessels, lying even
beyond the limit Of neutral waters.
,semmes is rapidly having drawn around
him Gordon Of slow bnt sure ships, and the
time is rapid1y approaching when he must
@ seek more genial cline than that Of the
West Indies, If lie wishes to carry on his
deyiltry with impunity. His cruise has thus
tar l'cen most successful; but II, by over con-
ddence from past success, he ventures too
much, the chances are he may come to most
disastrous end, and his cruise meet with a
melancholy termination. We have still strong
hopes that such Will be the case.

1t will appear as remarkable contrast
that the same period in the worlds history
which stands blottcd By the attempted es-
tablislment OF an exclusive Slave Empire
in America is frightened BY the coming Of
that better day for Russia. That day has
seen lcr last scrf emancipated from a
1hra1donl, the weary burden Of his class
for over two hundred and fifty years.
Russian scrfdom dates from IN ukase Of
1901, Which fastened them to the soil, and
made them the property Of the land OWL
ers. 1t is within the past twenty years
that the amclioration Of their condi-
tion began It has been bitterly fought
by the upper classes, and still has gone
steadily forward, until On March 18th,
1861, an Imperial ukase was read in all the
churches, fixing their day Of emancipation,
the glorious dawning Of which has broken
two years later in 1868. Our foreign news
Gays that on the Sd inst. eerfdom expired

PoN7 RoTAI, s. C., Mnrch II, 1853.
Three desertcrs from the 1st Georgia Vol
untceFs, Col. Olmstead, came within our lines
at Fort Pulaski this morning, They repre-
sent the Inhabitants of Savannah to be in
daily expectation Of an attack, and to be i'll a
most fearful state of alarm; that all the
wealthy citizens havc closed their mansions,
packed up their furniture, and left the city:
tint tue poor people are In an almost inspr.
rectiunary state and will hoist the stars aud
stripes the moment our forces approach the
city.
They estimate the number Of troops in and
around Savannah at IS 600, but say that two.
thirds Of them arc conscripts who were never
Under fire and know almost nothing Of mill
tary duty. They give tho number Of forts
and batteries aud their asmamcnts as
follows: On Fort Lee, { guns and

S-inch mud ? mostars. All Of these batteries
and forts command the river. In addition to
this formidable defense, they hare two float
ing batteries, the Georgia and Atlanta, each
Of which has four S.inch rined cannon.
The powerful steam-ram Savannah, covered
with five inches Of iron plating, will be fin
ished next week. She carries four 10-inch
columbiads.

Our Vicksburg correspondent, in letter
Elsewhere given in this issue, evidently dis
trusts the common rumor, that Vicksburg
is to FILL into our hands by default, but bor-
rowing the familiar figure from Scripture,
thinks ii is Ike Heaven, in that it will be
f'tskcn by force"
Il is impossible not to discover marked
change in the tone Of the rebel press With
in 4 short time past. The Richmond edi-
tors, as shown elsewhere in this issue, have
become absolutely funereal in their tone,
and discuss Whit will be likely to happen
in the confessed not unlikely contingency
of Lees being driven back by Hooker. They
also discuss reverses which have happened
in the Southwest, which were not received
in the rebel Senate with shouts Of laugh
Ter 1t is evident that something has hap
pcred 10 the Confederacy, of which honest
people up this way are not Jet advised. It
cannot long be withheld. It is safc to
withhold credence in the previous report
of Federal disaster at Port Hudson, until
we know what has happened.
Gen. Hunter is near the warm work in
his department, for which the war has
waited since dyspcptic Sherman bowed
himself into the presence Of the proud
but hospitable people" Of the hotbed ofse-
cessiondom. The latest intelligence from
Col. Higgginson and his Black Regiment,
disrrove the tale Of its disaster, and indi-
rates that they are busy Irritating the
South on large scale. Gen. Burnside,
that prince Of noble-ninded patriot SOL
diers, is on lis way to reinforce Hunter,
and he will make his mark on the fiery
page soon to open.
There is no doubt, from the tenor of re-
cent dispatches, that the rebels hare deci-
ded On formidable invasion of Kentucky.
How they will succeed in it, depends upon
The skill and thoroughness Of those who
have the State in charge, in whom We
have all confidence,
