MI Ashley, Of Ohio, is also named BY his
friends Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois, will
probably get the vote OF his own delegation,
and Mr.. Fonton, of New York, NAV have a
few votes; but none Of these but regarded
as serious candidates. To have received a
few votes for the Speakership is regarded as
constituting q claim to q chairmanship of A
committee, and hence many will be anxious
for even very few votes. Mr.. Colfax' =
former prominent candidacy, lin the trianp-
ular contest with Blair and Grow, his fins
abilities. as presiding officer, tried so Otter,
during stormy scenes iu the late Congress,
bis long experience in the House, and his
universal popularity, are regarded as causing
the Speakership to fall naturally to him. .
II MIR. Casey, late Congressman from the
Paducah Kentucky, District, will he a can
didste for the Clerkship. to succeed the
apostate Border State Emerson Etheridge,
he will stand a good chance. Samuel e.
Fesscnden, of Maine Edward Mcpherson,
Of Pennsylvania, and James Burlington, of
Massachusetts, all members Of the last
House, are likewise named ~ candidates.
For the smaller Offices, of course the rush
is immense.
There is no doubt that Gen. Frank Blair
has hoped to be a candidate, by first secur.
ing the solid Border State vote and then
debating terms to the Administration, or
uniting with the Democrats. He is out of
his old party, and must of course strike out
for new one. But, besides the facts that
his seat is contested, and that 1.-THE Speaker
having to appoint the Committee on Elec-
tions, that decides the contest the com
nIonest sense of propriety should keep him
from being con1idate, he fails in one es-
sential point. Lie can't got the Border
State vote. Not to mention other cases,
Montgomery Blair has been doing his best
to defeat Winter Davis and the other radi
Gals in Maryland. Winter Davis is certain
to be elected, and Montgomery Blar's broth
er is certain not to find in him a supporter.

Whereas, The term Of service OF a part
OF the volunteer forces of the United States

States when called into actual service, do
issue this my proclamation, calling upon the
Governors Of the different States to raise

men.

lshed for the draft. r'4ea n
! further proclaim that If any State shall
fail to raise the quota assigned to it by the
War Department under this call, then
draft for the deficiency in said quota shall
be made on said State, or on the districts
OF said State, for their due proportion of
OF said quota (; and the said draft shall COM
mencs on the fifth day Of January, 1864.
And further proclaim that nothing in

isting orders, or those which may bo issued,

through the PROVOST Marshal Generals Of
flee, due regard being had for the men here
tof0re furnished whether by volunteering or
drafting, and the recruiting will be conduct
ed in accordance with such instructions as
have been or may be issued by that Depart
ment.
In issuing this Proclamation, I address
myself not only to the Governors of the
several States, but also to the good and loyal
people thereof invoking them to lend their
willing, cheerful, and effective aid to the
measures thus adopted, witha view to res
enforce our victorious armies now in the
field, and bring our needful military opera
tions TO a prosperous end, thus closing for
ever the fountains Of sedition and civil war.
ln witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

seventeenth day OF October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and

the Defeat.


DEMOCRATS OF OnIo: You have been
beaten-by what means it is idle now to in
qure. 1t is enough that while tens ofthous-
ands OF soldiers wore sent or kept within
your State, or hold inactive in camp else
whore, to vote against you, the Confederate
enemy were marching upon the capital OF
your country.
You were beaten; but nobler battle for
constitutional liberty and free popular gov
ernment never was fought by any people
And your unconquerabls irmness and oour-
age, even in the midst Of armed military
force, secured You these first Of human
rishts--free speech and free ballot. The
conspiracy of the the 9th Of May fell before
YOU, BE not discouraged; despair not Of
the Republic. Maintain your rights; stand
firm to your position; never yield up your
to any who would have you lower your stan
dard in the hour Of defeat No mellowinz
Oh your opinions upon any question, even of
policy, will avail anything to eonoiliate your
political foes They demand nothing less
than absolute surrender Of your principles
and your organization. Moreover, il there
be any hore for the Constitution or liberty,
1t is IN the Democratic party alone; and
your fellow citizens, in little while longer,
will see it. Time and events will force il
upon all, except those only who profit by
tho calamities Of their country. r6.
/ thank you, one and all, for your sympa-
thiss aud your suffrsges. Be assured that
though still in exile for no offense but my
political opinions and the free expression Of
them TO you in peaoesble public assembly,
you will find me ever steadfast in those opin-
ions, and true to the Constitution and to
the State and countryof my birth. Ill.

In most estimates Gen, Frank p. Blair Of
Missouri, is countediwith the Administra-
tion members While it is very probable
that he will find himself compelled to vote
that way, there are numerous reasons why
do not think It safe to rely ON him.
ln most estimates, too, several if not all
the Kentucky members are counted for the
Administration. Vim. II. Randall aud
Lucien Anderson | think. almost certain to
vote for the Administration nominees; and
Gen, Clay Smith and Biutus j. Clay are
understood 70 be under pledges to do SO if it
should become absolutely necessary to the
organisation Of the House on war basis.
Still, an effort will he made to unite the
Kentucky vote on q Border State candidate,
aud as there is a possible contingency in
which this may succeed, ! prefer to class
the whole delegation as doubtful.
VI tho Virginia members, both Segar
and Chandler are understood to be pledged
to vote for the Administration candidate.
Still there is this same possibility Of an at
tempted concentration ON Border State
candidate, and they are therefore, for the
sake OF perfect safely in the calculation,
elassed with the doubtful.
The only men from the Border States
placed on the Administration side are four

YANKEE correspondents writing from Charleston
harb0r gay that DAHLGREN is preparing for grand
ronclad demonstration against on, ard 8dd IN
their magniloquent style, that the ifon-cads viii
not leave the waters Of South Carolina until tbE cd
flag " waves over Charleston or its ruins
Now, much of this may be only byutsni fulmsl-
sound and fury sgnifyng nothing-but is not all to be
go csssed We may rest assured that there is some
thing in it, aud that desperate attempt is certain to
be u ide. The Yankees are perseverirg race. fhey
are yirdctive. They have deeplyrooted hostility
rarkorous hatred against Charleston. Their vanity
their Pr!de-ther prestige-are all concerned in the
duciion Of Charleston. They have committed them
selves deeply to the plan of ronclads devised by Capt
Ericsson, OF which the Monitor the first specimen,
thus giving her me- to the class They will not read
iy submit to a result which will stamp their pet
gres OF var as most complete and expensive failure
uuft for standing gale, the recent sinking Of the
WeehaWken at her anchors in the outer harbor Of
Charleston goes to show if the laundering of the orig
nai Monitor had not already demonstrated the fac -
Clt for attacking Notifications even in smooth water,
will certainly be demonstrated by failure to adj
against and subdue the resistance of the deen
siVe works around Charleston. The Monitors, We Eel
assured, must ard will be brought to the scratch at
any and every risk DahIgren will be compelled TO
make the venture-or be sacrificed, it, indeed bis sscr
6oe be not already determined upon.
Before the winter is over some new and determined
effort will BE- made to bring matters at Charleston to
decisive ISSUE either BY forcing the roncads into the
inner haraor, Or by sending such large land force
will enable Gilmore to advance upon the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad, ard upon Charleston by that
route If he cannot force the position in 'front.' ha may
try 10 turn it. We will see.
