Report Of the Northwestern Sanitary Com
mission for Nav and June


A Copy of this report for the months of May
aud June, numbering ffty~two pages, lies on
our table. During these months the Commits.
sion have received 3,2o8 packages or boxes,
and shipped ? OBS. The excess Of the shipments
over the receipts is explained by the fact that
the Commission have expended $I4, 354 81 du-
ring May and June for hospital supplies, which
have been sent to the front. The average val
ue of the boxes of Sanitary stores donated to
the Commission is estimated at $40, which
makes the value of the 3 208 packages donated
them $l28 $50. The cash receipts for the same
time have been 81, 08528.
The report contains great variety of liter
esiing matter very explicit statement OF the
present needs Of the Commission, with definite
instructions for the preparation of the desired
supples-an exceedingly interesting chapter

The war Meeting Last Night.

A meeting was held last evening, at Simmons
Hall pursuant to previous notice, TO devise ways
and means for raising the quota of the city, I'M
der the last call for troops. S. S ScHoFF was
chosen Chairman, DAVID BoyE, Secretary. E
| G. DURANT made statement Of the plan propos
ed, which had been pronounced by gentlemen
conversant with the whole matter entirely
feasible 1t was believed that by an assessment
OF trcRty.fue dollars on every man liable to the
draft, sum could be raised sufficient 20 secure
recruits enough from the rebel States TO fill the
quota of the city. The question was, whether all
liable to draft would enter into the plan, and
promptly pay this small amount.
1t was further stated that a Commission had
already been received from the Governor for ID
recruiting officer in the Rebel States, and Major
Mars was ready to start as soon the arrange>
ments could be made.
1t was moved and carried that a commit ee Of
three be appointed from each Ward, to canvass
The city-to call upon every man liable 10 draft,
and report progress at this adjourned meeting
this evening
A portion ofthe committee was nominated and
elected, when, owing to some misunderstanding
of the plan proposed and frequent interruptions
of the proceedings, by persons in the audience,
the meeting was adjourned to o'clock this eve,

what Horace Greeley Says OF
the Conference at Niagara Falls.

Horace Greeley, in the Tribune, Of July %,
in abiding to his interview with the rebel
Commissioners at Niagara Falls says
''The editor Of this paper has taken part, in
and thus been privy to,no further or other
negotiations than were fully authorized
but those related solely to bringing the an
tagonists face to face with an amicable ra-
Their than belIigerent attitude, with view
to the initiation of an earnest effort for peace,
to be prosecuted at Washington. The
movement has had no immediate success.
Of course all the reports that the writer has
been engaged in preparing, or receiving, of
discussing hypothetical terms or bases Of
peace, whether with accredited agents of
the Richmond authorities or others, are ut
terly mistaken. He has never had the
slightest authorization to do anything of the
sort, and he is quite aware of those provi
sions of law which relate to volunteer ne
gotiations with public enemies. Those pro-
visions he heartily approves, and is in no
wise inclined to violate. More than this
he does not as yet feel at liberty. to state
though he soon may be. All that he can
now add is his general inference that pacifi-
cation of our country is neither so difficult
nor SO distant as seems to be generally sup
posed"

the Board Of Education, but is known to be
favorably inclined!
Nothing is known here yet as to whether
any regiments will be organized under the
new call for troops.
Several men have already been enlisted tc
the credit of this city, which has money al

The 8th regiment leaves at 8 o'clock to-
morrow. New flags will be presented by
the Governor
The 35th regiment was at the mouth OF
the White river on the 10Th Of July, and the
23d and 20 were at Algiers, La, on the 18th,
and it is supposed that they have gone to
the Army of the Potomac with the 10Th

An official report from the 10th regiment,

Crops ia Kenosha CO.-From what we
have said in reference to crops in this County,
it should not be inferred that the failure of even
wheat and barley is universal. Since our last
issue, more than dozen farm ers have assured
us that, in spite of droutb and chinch bug, they
are going to have an average crop of wheat
And we have heard indirectly, of many localities
in the country, that the bug has not reached and
that withstood the drouth so well, that all the
crops are very fair. Almost everywhere the
growing corn and potatoes and oats are very
promising
We have been shown specimens of chinch bug
killed wheat, that has almost or quite as
plump and perfect berry as the crop of aver
age seasons, We are in hopes that a considera,
BILE portion of the wheat crop that las been con.
sidered lost, will turn out only partially so.

~ Those who are accustomed to call
President Lincoln soft, and to speak of
him as devoid of courage and purpose, will
do well to reflect apon his proclamation just
issued, calling for soldiers, and prescribing a
draft for getting them. A draft is not a pop
ular idea. and Presidential canvass is the
exact time when its unpopularity can be put
to use. None but brave man-none but a
morally brave man-would have uttered
such proclamation now. That he knew and
felt that it would diminish the chances of his
election and might even put it in hazard, is
we'll known But now is the time to call fol
soldiers, and the President did his duty
Yet how many excuses could have been
found for posponing it; and how many jus

ponement. This act Of his ought not to be
