DIED-In Lancaster, Ohio, January
9Th, 1864, Mr. JAMES GATES, aged
73 years, i months and 22 days.
Mr. Gates was born, August 18th,
1890, near Waterford, IN Maine. With
his father he enigrated to Ohio in

He located in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1876,
where he continued in business until
near the time Of his death.

one Of mere external righteousness. bat

THE RETURN OF THE 17th REGI-
MENT o. ". l.

Through private dispatches we are
advised that the 17th Regiment o. V,
/. have rc-enlistcd in the veteran SER
vice, and that in a few days they will
return to Ohio on leave of absence
of thirty days. Five Companies of
this Regiment were enlisted ia this
county. They are our ncighbers, our
friends, our brothers, and our children.
They have stood between us and eur
enemies for two long years; they have
met the enemy and behaved gallantIy
upon the battle fields of Stone River,
Hoovcr's Gap, Chickamauga and Mis-
slonary Ridge, and now, more deter
mined than ever, thoy have again vol
untccred their services to their coun-
try, determined that the old flag shall
wave and triumph upon every foot Of
American soil. 1t is due then, that
these veteran soldiers should have our
respects, our prayers, and our liindost
sympathies, and that the citizens of
this city and vicinity take some action
towards giving thom such reception
as will evincc TO them that we are ever
mindful of the services they have rem
dered to the country, the high regards
we have for them, and tie everlasting
gratitude VIC owe to them and their
co-operators. Let us then make the
effort and gladden. the hearts of those
to whom we look for our national

FROM Tna CAPITOL.

DOvER. AuPut 9th, 1854.
Our great Legislature assembled to-day.
So fn- nothing has been done in relation 10 an
appropriation to aid in uiug men TO ill the
quota Of the State The town is full OF reports
in relation to this matter, and it is hard to arrive
at any correct conclusion in regard 10 the final
result. Several influential men 10 the. Copper
head ranks are decidedly in favor Of action by
the General Assembly, aud are pressing their
views with much force. II is conjectured that
something will be done, but in such way as to
render it worse than if no action had been taken
At all. The time is going rapidly, and unless
there is postponemont, it will be impossible to
send agents TO procure substitutes before the 9th
of September. Provost Mat shal General Fry,
has assured the public that the draft will Ger.
tanly take place on that day. There need be
no hope Of a postponement, and every man who
desires 10 avoid it, should eithor procure sub
stitute himself or join in the movements iuaug
urated in various parts Of the State, with view
to fill the quota
The Secretary Of State presented message
from the Governor to-day, in reply to Mr.
Aliens resolution in reference to the enlistment
of cocred troops in Delaware. His Excellency
gives cur Soons a very pointed answer to theiI
Inquiries and we hope it is entirely salts
factory. One thing is certain, the friends of th'
Executive are much pleased with it, Every
candid man in the State should read the docu-
ment.
Mr.. Duncan gave notice to-day, that h,
intends to introduce bill to limit the debt oil
| Wilmington. have not been able to ascertain
the exact nature Of this bill, but will endeavor Il
do SO, and give your readers an outline in m,

Delaware and tho War.

by the statement submitted to the Legis-
lature by Governor Cannon, it will be seen
that Delaware has credit at the War De-
partment for e,743 men. Add to this 1000
who have enlisted 10 Pennsylvania, 500 in
New Jersey and 500 in Maryland, and Della.
ware has furnished from total population
ofa little over 10000 souls, white. black
free and slave, nearly 1000 soldiers for the
Union army. We venture to say there is NO
other State in the loyal north, taking into
consideration all the circumstances, that has
done so we'll.
1t must be recollected that the Legisla-
ture has always been controlled by Cop.
perheads, since the rebellion commenced
who have steadily refused to vote dollar to
encourage enlistments. That up to January
1863 the Executive of the State - Gov.
Burton-wss Copperhead, and used no
effort TO aid volunteering.
Such condition things in a measure still
exists; the Copperheads control the State
finances, and it is extremely doubtfnl
whether they will vote a sum suficient IN
raise men to fill our quota. Should such ba
the case we must submit to the ordeal of
the draft, and the industrial pursuits will in
consequence suffer. The general Cover
ment should seriously consider this subject,
and in view ofthe loyal, patriotic manner in
which our State has always responded to the
calls made upon her for material aid insup.
pressing the rebellion, endeavor at least 10
mitigate the rigors of the coming draft.
