CONsPIRACY.

The Abolitionists pretend to have discov-
cred a conspiracy in Ohio, the object of which
was to release the rebel prisoners at Camp
Chase, take the government arsenal at Colum-
bus, capture the penitentiary aud raise the
deuce generally. CATHcART formerly State
School Commissioner, and several other per-
sons have been arrested. Whether any such
a foolish plot was really intended or whether
it is merely a game to have an excuse for ar
resting democrats is hard to tell.

.Tl,ree Hundrcd Thousand More,


Before the last draft for three bundled
thousand was completed, President Lincoln
issued another proclamation, dated October
18th, for 100000 more. 1t is said the former
draft has proved so complete a failure that an
other is absolutely necessary at once. Mr..
Lincoln very prudently put it off until after
after the election.
The history of the w-rld shows that un-
willing soldiers are expensive and uncertain
Gonscripting or drafting has always failed in
England and does not seem to be ~eongenial
to the spirit of our people. From the recent
elections, however, and the abolition journals,
one would suppose tie People were largely in
favor of the abolition policy, and that the
coming draft would be a success. We shall
see.
The war spirit of our people is evidently
not now what it was two years ago, otherwise
drafting to fill the army would not be required
The ease and facility with which volunteers
were then obtained contrasts strangely with
the force system now in vogue. 1t is hoped
and expected by many that the third draft, to
take place next January, Will prove more snc-
cessful than the former two. 1t is admitted
they did not pay expenses. All this should
induce some people to reflect on the magni..
tude this abominable war has assumed. The
"breakfast job" has now lasted near three
years, and the cry il slight on, fight on, no
peace, no effort for peace, at least the leaders
will listen to no terms of amnesty and Peace.

These three articles of prime necessity PRE-
sent a prodigious rise, very far above gold, for
which they coma in exchange. Yet we are
told by Mr.. Chase that it is sympathy with
treason that makes gold RISE"
AS long as the country continues to i'm
port goods largely, and has little else than
gold with whicht to pay for them, gold will be
exported but if ne gold were exported at all
as in the case of the Confederate States
for commercial purposes, the supply of paper
will cause it to depreciate, and the use of that
paper will sooner or later destroy the credit
Of the Government and add to national bank
ruptcy.

John Bsough, Governor elect of Ohio, in
his speech at Lancaster before the election, as
reported in the Cincinnati Commercial said:
@Slavery must be put down, rooted out, if
every wife has to be made a widow, and every
child to be made fatheriess."

THE NEWS.

There has been no war news during the last
week of any interest. The opinion seems to
be that both the rebel and the federal armies
of the West are being very largely reinforced,
preparatory to what will probably be one of
the greatest battles of the war. Lee still
makes demonstrations of force in front of
Meade, but whether it is merely to keep
Meade from advancing or whether he has
really a largo army there is unknown.

How to insure Proper Credit to
Townships for Volunteers.

Capt. BARBER, who was disabled in the war,
is authorized by the administration to raise
.~tle.quota for this county, which is 246. He
informs us that no matter in what township of
the county the person may enlist that town
ship will have credit in which the volunteer
resides or is enrolled. The township commit
tees should report the names of all volunteers
in their respective townships to Capt. BARBER,
who is authorized to make the return to the
Provost Marshal. What we desire is that our
people should understand in all their arrange
ments to ell their quota by volunteering that
It viii be safest for them to report all their
prOceediDgs to Capt. BARBER, who will see,
beyond peradventnre, that all is fixed up just
~ and fairly. The drafting will be made
by townships, and if any township wishes to a
yoid it they have only to go to work and raise
their quota, By volunteering. The ADVOCATES of
"a vigorous prosecution should pitch in at
once.

The Large Vote for Acknowledgment.

It is worth remembering that more men
have voted to make Mr.. Vallandigham Cover
nor oe Ohio than ever cast their sufrages to
put Mr.. Chase in that Office. The first time
Chase was elected, eight years age, he had
LAG, 600 votes. The second time he was cho-
sen was in 1857, he had 16o, 600 votes. VAL
landigham now has at least It's, 900 votes
Vallandigham defeated, therefore, has more
friends in the State than Chase had when he
was elected.

Prices.

There is fifty millions more paper printing
by Mr.. Chase, to be put out by November l..
Now it will be seen that commodities have not
fuctuated like gold, but have more steadily
advanced, keeping always higher than gold
Thus, in April, 1852, gold was one and a half
premium, while the fifty five articles were five
per cent. advance. AT this day those articles
are eighty per cent. higher than in January,
1862, while gold is only ffty-four per cent.

i~ntrigues, got Congress and the Legislature to
pass laws to make gold cheap, that is to tram
mel the trade in it. BE supposed that would
prevent it from rising in value. It was the
exact course to make it ultimately go higher,
because, while tn high prices o fgoods induced
imports, it made gold the best remittance,
consequently depicting the country of its stock
of bullion. We will suppose that Mr.. Chase,
by denouncing "Copperheads," had been en-
abled to keep gold at par. what would have re-
