HOW RECRUITS ARE CREDITED.
BY telegraph from Washington, p. NJ.
JANUARY 9th. 1864,
To LIEUT.. Col. WV, N. GRIEF;
Recruits will be credited 10 the localities
from which they receive local bounties, provi-
ded the musterin rolls show them enlisted
and mustered in af of 3he said localities. The
muster-in rolls must show the facts of the case,
and will be the evidence for awarding the
credits. Veterans in service re-enlisting will
be credited TO localities to which the re enlist
ments and muster-i in rolls show them as be-
longing. Therefore, until veterans have been
re mustered, it cannot be determined To what
particular locality they will be credited The
foregoing is in answer TO many enquiries re-
ceived by the department. Furnish the Coy
ernor with a copy Of this.

The Draft.

The Fifth of this month was the day fixed
by proclamation of the President of the
United States for the enforcement of cru
ell and relentless coascription for another
half million of unwilling victims to his
shameless policy The day has come and
gone, but the draft is delayed for some rea-
son or other, and we are beginning to have
hints that it cannot take place before the
middle of September--or, as some say, not
under three or four weeks.
We trust that the Administration will
learn to appreciate, that the bearing of arms
in defence of one S country, either in the
protection of its soil, or the vindication of
its honor, is one of the proudest privileges
Of treemen; that when war cemmends it.
self to Nations sense of justice, there is
no lack of soldiers - disaster but multiplies
them, and misfortune breeds fresh energies,
which can ultimately organize defeat into
victory. Let the President consider, that
it is only when the people know war is
wrong, or when they know it is waged for
unlawful unworthy, and selfish purposes,
that they fail to go willingly, and it becomes
necessary to use the Despot's drag in
order to fill the vacant ranks. Since he
has proclaimed that he will neither hear nor
entertain propositions looking to Peace un-
til slavery is abandoned, the people have
COIic W IC2llu VIC pIcSeUl NdT III JlllS llSuU.
Some think it wrong from the beginning;
but all know now that it is waged for the
worst Of politics and the basest partisan
purposes. Hence, men have to be taken
to it in irons. Unwilling or not, they will
be compelled to go whenever the order "
for the draft comes--provided, the quotas
be not filed by means of the immense boun-
ties that are being paid. The edict has
gone forth from the throne of the tyrant,
that five hundred thousand must CO. 1t
matters not that the draft will be Illegal
that it will be made in direct disregard of
the plainest provisions of the law-the in
struments charged with executing the con-
scription have announced that it will GER
tainly be enforced
A carefully analysis of the Conscription
Act shows the iolywing:
l. 1t prohibits draft till after the ex-
piraton Of sixty days from the time when
the quota Of each ward or township shall
have been known, assigned, and called for.
.. 1t prohibits an order for such draft
till after such term Of sixty days.
3. A call without such assignment of
quota is void under the act.
4. A man drafted without compliance
with the Act will not be in the military SER
vice, and may be discharged on habeas cor

The Nomination for vice Pres
ident-hbOn. George II. .Pendle-


The Convention at Chicago has made n
noble completion of its work by the selec-
ton df the Hon George II Pendleton, of
this, city, as Vice President. It was pre-.
cisely, the name the exigency of the occa.
sion demanded. The general exclamation
among the Democrats, after they heard of
tne result ior President, was that Mr.. Pen.
dieton would be nominated for Vice Presi-
dent
Mr.. Pendleton's name would have bsen
strong one at the head Of the ticket, and
1t was earnestly pressed by large number
Of friends for that position
Here, where Mr.. Pendleton is known and
SO widely esteemed it would be a work of
supererrogationto enter into an eulogy upon
his character. A Democrat stanch and
true, high-toned gentlemen, liberal and
tolerant in his opinions, a fine scholar,
an able debater, entertaining the views
and aspirations of statesman-with much
political experience that cminently quail
fes him to preside in the Senate, the Office
in this instance has sought and found the
man it required. Mr.. Pendleton, like
General Mcclellan, is a young man, un,
der forty years of age; but he has already
served two years in the Ohio State Senate
and eight years in the Congress of the Uni
ted States He has been four times re-
elected to the House of Representatives
from this city, and would have been chosen
the fifth time if he had not been placed
upon the Presidential ticket. He was a
prominent candidate for Speaker of the
House, at Washington, and is now upon
the Committee Of Ways and Means, the
most important in that body.-Cinctnna
Enquirer.

be dissolved by the adjournment at the
close of its business, but shall remain or

The President then stated tho question
before the Convention to be on ordering the
previous question--nominating a candidate
for The Presidency--and it was ordered
without dissent
The vote was then taken by States, and
Connecticut and Ohio having been passed
for the moment, the vote stood rs follows:
The delegations now began to change their
votes, and the final result was announced

The Louisville Journal HOists
the Mcclellan Flag.

For the first time in its history, the Lou
isville Journal, the able organ of the Wings
and Conservatives of Kentucky, hoists the
Democratic flag by putting Mcclellan and
and Pendeton at the head of its columns as
its choice for President and Vice President.
The old Wing and Union party of Kentucky
will vote in solid mass for them. II Is

On the second ballot, when New York was
called, Judge Parker said that having cast
her 33 votes for James Guthrie against his
wishes, she now gave them cheerfully to
George Ii. Pendleton of Ohio.
The other candidates were then withdrawn
and George II. Pendleton received the unan-
imous nomination of the Convention.
On motion committee of one from each
state was appointed to inform the candidates
Of their nomination, and request their ac-
ceptance thereof
GIN motion it was
Rcsolrcd, That one person from each State, Sc
lected by the delegates thereof, be appointed to
form the National Executive Committee.
On motion, it was
Resoired, That 900 copies of the proceedings
OF the Convention be printed for the use of the
delegates.
On motion, it was
AcSolred, That the Democracy of the country
be requested to meet in the different counties
and cities and hold mass ratification meetings,

adoption of the Federal Constitution.
A vote of thanks to the officers of the
convention was adopted and with nine cheers
for the ticket, the convention adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the National Committee.

day, had been referred to subcommittee,
and there was reason to believe that they
would be ready to report this afternoon /;
and furthermore, that there was fair pros
pect of arriving at harmonious conclusion
Mr.. Tildcn, of New York. said that the
Chairman of the subcommittee, Gov j. b.
Weller, would probably be ready TO report
at four clock that Mr. Vallandigham was
Of the opinion that they would not be ready
at that hour and that Mr.. Guthrie hoped
to be ready.
\ motion was made to take recess un-
til four p. M.
Mr.. Cass of Penna., moved to adjourn
until tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Brown, Of Deiiware, said there was
no difference of opinion among the mem
bers of the committee. Nothing but a dis
position, perhaps, on the part of a few to
on why they should not be ready to report
this afternoon.
Mr. McKeon was in favor Of instructing
the committee to report this afternoon.
There was no need Of further delay. The
sentiments Of the members are alike. If
there is any questions of difference at all it
was one of phraseologyrath than of prin-
ciple.
Mr.. Valandigham thought il best to
give the committee further time, being sat
isfed that by tomorrow morning they will
be able to bring in report upon which all
Democrats and Conservatives in the coun-
try can cordially unite.
Several other members of the Convention
said that whatever difference of opinion
may exist among the members, they are as
to the phraseology Of the resolutions, rather
than TO the sentiment, and if the Conven-
ton would Immediately take a recess the
committee would be able to conclude their
labors by P. M.
The motion for a recess was then put and
carried, the Convention first refusing to ad-
journ over the day.

"We have never differed with the

are free to say, that the condition of the
slaves when liberated, If left in the South,
will be worse than it has been during
their servitude. And we are for emanci.
pating every negro in the South notwith-
standing all this. For taking this ground
we have controlling reasons. First, it

We notice some indications Of the
prevalence of copperheadism in distin-
guished Republican quarters. For ex.
ample:
1.-THE Supreme Court Of Vermont has
decided the soldiers voting bill of that
State unconstitutional, SO far as it relates
to the election of State officers"
Again, Senator Hale, of New Hamp-
shire, IN speaking in the Senate, of the
effort in Congress to annihilate the State
banks, said the object would be more ca
silly understood if the measures were put
in this form: And be it further enacted,
That all those instruments heretofore
known as State Constitutions be, and
they are hereby abolished"
And again, Senator Doolttle, of Wis
Consin, on the same occasion, said :,,,,4
j do not yield to my honorable friend
from New Hampshire in my sincere re-
spect as we'll as my deep and settled con-
viction of the necessity Of this Govern.
ment, as we'll as the State Governments
themselves, maintaining, preserving and
defending all the rights of the States un.
der the Constitution of the United States.
believe in State rights, sir; that they
are expressly mentioned, reserved, pro-
tected, and defended in the Constitution
itself, and as they are. reserved by our
Constitution, protected, and defended, l
believe in those rights, and as citizen of
the United States, and as citizen of a
State, / feel bound to respect and defend
them.
Now, all this is copperheadism in its
most malignant form. Neither Vallandig-
ham, nor Powell. nor Fernando Wood,
has ever breathed worse copperheadism
Can it be possible that the Supreme
Court of Vermont and Senator Hale, of
New Hampshire, and Senator Doolittle, Of
Wisconsin, are turning copperheads
