BosToN, Aug. 26.-Scvera prominent
Abo'itionists, including Eleazar Wright
and S. G. Howe, have written to Ge"or"'
in the Republican ranks, and desiring
that the Baltimore and Cleveland nomi
hot bl boir
identia candidates, and that new Con-
vention be called to select new candidates
Fremont replies at length, remarking
that he does not feel at liberty to with
draw his name, without first consulting
the party who nominated him, but sug-
an immediate understanding between the
supporters of both nominees, in order
that they may coalesce and unite upon
such Convention.
In this letter Fremont says: "Much
has been said about peace. For me peace
signifies the integral establishment of the
Union without slavery, because slavery is
the source of all our political dissentions,
and because the institution itself is con-
demned by the enlightened and liberal
spirit of the age. These are to me the
especial conditions Of peace"
New York, Aug. 30.-Thc World s
Washington special says: The most en-.
couraginc accounts are received from ev.
cry quarter as to the number of recruits
now being obtained. In Pennsylvania
about 30 900 men have been rccruited;
quite as many in New York, while New
England has furnished 20 900, and per.
haps when all returns are received the
number will be found to be even greater
than this The Western States are also
doing very well. For some tine past re-
week have been going forward to the Ar
my of the Potomac, and for the next tw o
or three weeks it is expected that 1000
per day will be forwarded The everaga
number of recruits now obtained daily
throughout the country is about | 300,
and this number will be increased to >,
600 or ,, 500 per day before the 9th Of
! September. At least lJO, 900 men will
have been raised for the army and navy
before the day named not counting cred
its on previous calls or those arising from
former naval en;stments
On account of these large additions to
the army, efforts will be made to have
the draft postponed, in hopes that the re
quisite number Of men may be obtained
without rcsortinc to this unsatisfactory
measure.
