On the 18th day of October. 1863, the Pres-
dent Of the United States issued a proclamation
calling for 300 QUO volunteers. On the 2lst day
Of Octobss, 1868, received dispatch IRON the
Secretary Of War assigning the quota Of Indi
ana under this CALL at II ,997 men This quota
was apportioned among the various counties Of
the State upon the basis of the settlement made
between the State and the War Department in
September, taking into account the number OF
enlistments made between the date of the settle
ment aud the apportionment of the quota, as far
a. they could be ascertained.
On the lst day Of February, 1864, the Presi-
dent issued another call for 300 900 additional
men. Adopting the ratio under the call OF DC
'tober 1868. the quota of Indiana under this call
would be IL, Cos men, which, added to the quota
under the call OF October. would be in the aggre
gate 81 .662 men. Immediately after the last
call was made Adjutant General NOBLE visited
Washington by my direction to effect settle
ment between the State and the War Depart
ment if possible. and > ertain the number o

THE slKGE OF MOBILE.

The great attraction of the hour among South
erners IS now the siege of Mobile. Admiral
Farragut is pronounced to be "A second edition OF
Dupont and Dahlgren, and they predict to him
the same results as those obtained by those tSo
distinguished officers. Now that Sherman has
been driven out from Meridian, either by one
cause or by another: that Grerson and Smith
have been put horS du combat; that our army in
the South has been disabled. and will not recover
for at least three months from the severe blow II
has received in these fruitle-s expeditions. they
feel confident that Mobile will not be taken.
Mobile. they say Vulnerable on the land side,
is impregnabe bv sea and will bafle the efforts
OF the whole Yankee fleets. Charleston, which
Is tar eaSier 20 take, has not been taken: corse-
queutly there Is no danger for Mobile. Farragut
will not be able TO dIsmautie Fort Powell: il he
does. there J. For Gaime aud halt dozen others

The mystery of LOngsueet's manouvering,
which has puzzled so many of our military wr
tiers, i explained bv officers in Richmond in this
way When Gen Grant had sent Gen Schofield,
reinforced by Gen Slocum, to Knoxville, both OF
these officers advanced ON Longstreet's front
with all their forces II their intention was to
give him battle This, of course. caused all the
rebel cavalry tn fall back uoon the main column
encamped at Bulls Gap. and produced an una
voldable disorder aud confusion. At the same
time the news reached LoEgstree that General
Grant was advancing with his whole army against
Chattanooga, which made him believe that the
whole OF the Union forces in motion to
crush him In this juncture he deemed prudent
to contract his troops, to facilitate their
treat, If the thing became necessary. Ia conse-
quence, he tell back upon Greenvile, on the Ten
nessee and Virginia Railroad with the head of
his column resting on Bulls Gap, which he has
never abandoned. But as soon as the sad iidiugs
OF our failure At Dalton and elsewhere became
known. bis cavalry started again for the sur
roundings Of Knoxville. spreading all the
valleys they had just abandoned. Longstreet
himself resumed his former position, thus expos
ing once more Tennessee and Kentucky to an
invasion of the rebels!

the foregoing resolutions had been adopted by the
Congress at its last session. measures would at this

tween the North and South. > But if these efforts
had been made and had failed, we should have been
no weaker either in moral or in physical resources
at home, while abroad, Among the people OF Europe
and Of the North, We should have gained great
morai power by the exhibition on. our part of an
earnest dispostionto stay the edsion of blood and
to terminate this awful eoract In accordance with
those principles Of reason and justice which reflect
lustre on civilized, Christian nations. We might
then have hoped that the people Of the North,
giving heed to this appeal and anxious as they must
be for peace, would have risen up at tie polls and
defeated NJ. Lncolns re election in November next
and thus have paved the way for settlement of
cur difficulties by the Conservative men of the two
sections As it IS, with the temper which seems
to govern the rulers of the two sections can per
ceive no reasonable ground for hoping that Mr. Lin.
coin will be defeated, or that the war will ceas
until the South shall have conquered the North,
the Norththe South. We are not lighting for con-
quest and should not incur the risk of being con-
quered BY the North without putting forth every
effort meanwhile to terminate the struggle by ne
gotiations.

rights Of the people and to the independence and
sovereignty of the States. It will maintain the
