ORGAN1EArIox.-One of the most effective
instruuentaIities to insure success in a po.
Iitical contest is thorough and complete organ
izatioU-such an orgaizalion as will reach and
classify every voter, and that will leave un-
polIed no vote that can be secured for the
cause for which we labor and which we have so
much at heart. On this subject eOtempOra-
~ (the Columbus Fact) speaks well and for.
chilly, and We transfer its appeal to our col
umns and commend it to .he earnest attention
of our readers:
The tickets are in the field. The campaign
is fully opened. There is work to be DONE
There should be no delay in commencing it,
In organization there is strength. Count the
men. CloSe up the ranks and present solid
column to the foe. Poll the counties. Let
County Union Committees move. Let town
ship committees cooperate. Let sub-com.
mittees be appointed. Register every vote
scoring his position, loyal, disloyal or doubtful
Commence action at once. Systematic the
work. Canvass every ward and every town
ship. Ascertain the strength or weakness oi
every point. Strengthen the weak encour
age the strong confirm the halting decide
the doubling. Pull together. Remember the
gigantic stake at issue. A country to save
or lose! Wide awake, then, is the watchword
Sacrifice little now, and avoid great sacri-
fee in the future. Work while the day lasts
A malignant enemy is abroad. He hisses hii
lies in every dark corner. Expose his wiIes
Counteract his Vaccinations. Defeat him.
Secure his political determination. Labor fol
the country. Advance the high ensign o
the Republic. Work, perseve ring and ener
getic, will accomplish wonders.
Preparation insures success. Ohio must moi
fall into the tolls of the disIoyal. All mus
do their share in rescuing the State from The
spoilers. Beat back the rebel carrion vul
| lures that would kill and devour.
Again, we say, ORGANIZE Let no mar
sleep upon his post. Every man to his re
sponsibilities. Register the voters ! Set
where there is work to be done, and do at!

We last week referred to the order of the
Adjutant General requiring the officers of the
militia, and the officers and men of the voIun-
teer force, to go into camp at Piqua-the Of
fcers on the 5th September, to remain till the
18th; the men on the morning of the 11th to
remain till the evening of the 18th. We add,
for the information of those interested, the in
structions issued by the Adjutant General for
the guidance of those who are to repair to the
camp:
The Quartermaster-G General will immediate
ly take steps to provide said musters with
arms, equipments, ammunition, and camp and
garrison equipage. not otherwise provided for,
Transporting the same from camp to camp, and
when not in use to preserve and return the
same in good order. He will also see that
subsistence for said camps, as required by law,
is supplied, and will provide transportation
for said troops.
Every officer, nOn-commissioned officer, mu-
sican, and private, who is required to attend
said camps will furnish his own blankets and
clothing; also, tin cup, plate, spoon, knife
sued by the Qnartermaster General.
All volunteers will bring with them and use
The arms and accoutrements received by them
| from the State.
All who are required to attend said musters
are admouished that tLey should bring no
more baggage than they can conveniently car
ry by hand, as baggage wagons or drays will
not be furnished, or time or opportunity allow
ed to obtain them. The camps are all located
within short distance of railroad depot,
rendering hacks, omnibuses and carriages en-
| tirely unnecessary.
From the opening to the close OF an en-.
campment, the 1Uhole time of every one in at
tendance under orders will be required for du-
~. No furloughs or leaves of absence will
be granted in any case except upon the most
indispensable necessity.

The draft progresses quietly and uninter-
ruptedIy in the city of New York. The gov
ernment had made ample arrangements for
vindicating its authority in case of attempted
resistance-aRd that resistance has not been
made is not the fault of the miserable crea-
lures who brought on the riot few weeks
ago by their incendiary teachings The
Express, World, News, Freeman's Journal,
and Metropolitan Record did all in their power
to again incite to riot and bloodshed, and
were aided by demagogues oftbe same school,
but those whom they had duped and led into
difficulty before had learned a lesson from
which they proited, and declined to follow
the advice of those who are more ready to :each
resistance to the authorities than TO run the
risks which such resistance involves.

There is abundant evidence found on all
hands that the effort to array the entire Demo.

the resolutions adopted of the same character

Those who denounce the draft as "odious'
and "tyranical," should read the Instructions
of the rebel Col. Richardson for the enforce

If man absents himself to avoid the draft, his
house shall be burnt down, if be resists, he
"shall be shot down and left dying" if he takes
refuge in his house, it shall be burned and
guarded SO he may not get out. So much for
rebel humanity.
