OhlO'S Q uOta under the Call for
500 900 Men,

The quota of Ohio under the new call,
which is based on the revised enrolment,
is 0,792. The quota of the 18th District
is 1892. The Columbus Journal says that
on the first day of May last Ohio was en-
titled to a credit of about 1000 men;
since then she has sent IS, 765 men to the
field for one hundred days, and the time
of these will be credited, amounting to
9,056 men for one year.; in all, Ohio's
credit on these two items will be 20,S00
men.
To this are to be added the enlistments
since May LIST, and the representative re-
eruits. The journal further says:
To state summarily the result of our
examination in regard to this question,
We think it may be safely affirmed that
Ohio, at the date of the last call, was at
least 5000 ahead of all demands upon
her. There can remain, then, but about
5000 men to be raised in the entire
State under that call. With the meas
ures already in a forward state of pro-
gress in many portions of the State for
stimulating recruiting at home by the
offer of local bounties, the probable re-
entrance into service of numbers of vet
Grams discharged this summer and the
regulations to be Immediately enforced
for recruiting in the rebel States, there
can be no doubt that prompt and vigor-
Gus efforts can secure every man required,
before the fifth day of September.
An order from Provost Marshal General
Fry, received at Columbus,
that no more premiums will hereafter be
paid by the Government for the procura-
tions of recruits.

fractional currency, just as perfect as the
genuine, from which, the Colonel informs
us, that upwards of $780, 900 in postal
notes have been stricken off; the plates
for a $500 q. S. Treasury note partially
finished: large tea-chest filled with the

WASHINGTON, Aug.
For some time past it has been well
known that the rebels were mining oppo-
site Warren's Corps. Shafts were sunk
by u forces, which the enemy had dis
covered. The discovery was made known
to the rebels, and they were PERMITTED to
continue their operations to a successful
issue, meantime being closely watched
On Friday, the 5th, it became evident
that the enemy were ready to spring the
mine, and preparations were made to
thwart them.
That night u siege guns and batteries
were quietly removed from the fortitca-
tions mined, wooden cannon were placed
instead, and everything got ready fer the
expected operations. Batteries were post
ed to the right of our works, and troops
properly disposed 10 meet the expected
attack. On Saturday the mine exploded
I'D the abandoned fort and valuable qua
kers. The rebels Immediately charged
and a few of them, some so or 60 in num-
Der who succeeded in escaping the water,
were captured. En6laded as it was by
fire it became too uncomfortable for the
rebels and they quickly retreated leaving
a large number of dead and wounded IN
the field. Our casualties were few, among
them is Colonel Stesdman llth Connecti-
cut, wounded.

Forney's Press gives publicity TO a mon
strous bug-a-boo story, which. as usual, is
"from a high official source" IT'S this:
Early is to concentrate his entire army,
full %, 1000 to $4,000 strong, at Cumber-
land; thence march across the mountains,
attack Pittsburgh and Wheeling; having
gobbled them up, he will then move
through Ohio to Cincinnati (by way of
Columbus, of course!) capture and sack
those cities on the way, and then return
to Dixie through Kentucky All this is
certain; and probably the plan of cap
turing Detroit and Chicago will be super
added! Well, if the Western men were
10 lay down and let a few rebels ride
over them, as they do East of the noun
tains, the thing might be done. But, if
not. NoTi

July 18th, 1864.
EDS. CHRoN-Thinking that a letter from
the department of Tennessee, might be
interesting to the readers of your paper,
| will proceed to give you a detail of a
great battle fought on the 22d. On the
2Ist, u Division commanded by Brig
Gen. NJ. D. Legget,) moved to the left of
the r. R., and advanced within one and
a half miles of the city. The 4th Divis-
ion, on u right, moved forward and took
the works from the rebels, we then threw
up works and held our position until the
morning of the 22d, when we found the
enemy on our left, near the Sd Division
Hospital, when the 10th corps reached
that place and formed, the rebels came
on a charge, and by advancing up to the
10th corps, they got an enflading fire on
our works. We then formed lines across
eur works and fought them until shutdown,
when they gave way, leaving their dead
and wounded on the field. On the Odd,
they came in with a flag of truce, asking
to get their dead and wounded, which of
course was granted, but they did not get
all, for they are laying all over the woods,
yet. The casualties of Co. II. are kill,
ed, private Nathan Henninger, of Lords
town, and James NJ. Thomas, of Knox
Co.. wounded; Sergt. E. W. Quackenbush,
and private Charles Knox; missing first
Sergt. W. G. Downs, private Daniel E

Very Latest News
The Rebels I'm Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Aug. s.

BALTIMORE, Aug. s.
The American furnishes the following
in advance of its publication here. We
learn from a gentleman who arrived here
this morning from the upper Potomac,
that the entire rebel force, yesterday,
evacuated the Maryland side of the Po-
tomac, and were moving off in great
haste. Their rear guard crossed at Shep-
erdstown at IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and the balance crossed at Hancock
about the same time from the south side
of the Potomac.
We learn that Gen. Early has been
moving up the valley towards Winches
ter with his harvest trains during all last
week, securing the country for conscripts
and grain.
The information received a week since
that the rebels would make a feint
movement from Maryland merely to COW
er his returning trains, has beer verified
to the fullest extent. and they are o
all moving off toward Stanton.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.
The Star says that from a gentleman
who arrived here on Saturday from Ha-
gerstown, where he has been s%ojourning
for two weeks past, We get some interest
esting particulars of the doings of the
rebels in that vicinity.
When the rebels took possession of the
town they proceeded to institute a thor
ough search of stores. As the merchants
had not replenished their stock since the
former visit of the rebels. the latter got
but little, with the exception of a small
quantity of shoes and hats. At grocery
stores they filled their canteens with mo-
lasses, and at one or two stores they turn
ed the molasses out and let it run into
the streets. The trains of cars reported
to have been burnt by this party when
they entered Hagerstown, were destroyed
by our own troops in order to prevent
their falling into the hands of the rebels,
as they contained a valuable cargo.

CurRants for Soldiers.

We have bsfors US a specimen which
for a better name, we call Currant Leather
prepared by q benevolent lady Of 0range
County, n. Y, for the use of sick in hos
pitfalls. 1t il madea as follows; sever pounds
of currants and one pound of sugar; cook
till currants are thoroughly broken up,
then strain through a colander, and boil
the strained liquor down to a thick syr-
up, then add the currants left on the
colander, and cook as much as possible
without burning. Spread the conserve
thus prepared on plates or other shallow
dishes and set in the sun. Ordinarily in
one days drying the mass may be cut
through, and turned to dry the other
side. The drying should be continued
until the pieces will not stick together if
laid upon another. The same process
may be followed with sour cherries, and
doubtless with black-berries A few rasp-
berries may be added to the currants to
give flavor. A piece Of this may be held
in the mouth of the patient, or it may be
treated with water to make a cooling
drink. In either case it is far preferable
to %isllies, as it gives all the refreshing
acidity of the fresh fruit without alleging
with sugar. Those who have been de.
TERED from preserving fruits by high pri-
ces of sugar will find that they can make
a more acceptable article with little sugar
than if they followed the old "pound for
pound" rule. Now is the time for you,
the reader, if you have currants wasting
on bushes, to treat a quantity in this way
and many a parched throat will be re-
freshed enough to thank you N. Y.
Tribune.

Why the Rebels are called
HJOhnnies.''

In 1861 the Federal soldiers called the
Rebels "Secesh;" in 1862, Confeds; in
1868, Greybacks, and in 1864 they call
them Johnnies. 4 correspondent gives
US the following information about the
origin of the last named sObrigust
The name of Johnny originated in a
quarrel between a couple ofpickets, which
began by the Federal telling the Rebel
that they 1.-THE Rebelsl depended on Eng
land on getting out of this scrape, which
the Rebel denied emphatically, saying
they were able to scrape themselves out.
One word brought on an other, until the
Federal said his opponent was no better
than a Johnny Bull anyhow; the rebel
swore he would shoot Yank if he called
him a Johnny Bull again. The quarrel
was stopped by another picket, and they
soon cooled down, but the Rebel kept
muttering: I'd as soon be called a niger
as Johnny Bull.

The Rebel Failure In Front of
Petersburg.

Advicss from the front of Petersburg
are, that the rebels undertook ON Saturday
to repeat our performance of the previous
week. 1t was known that they had been
mining in front of Warren, and measures
were taken some days ago to prevent any
disastrous results from their work, and the
fort they mean to blow up was evacuated
on Thursday night. They opened the
ball with a furious cannonade and follow
ed by springing their mine 1t blew up a
large mass of earth in front of the fort
but did not destroy that work. Their
charge was feeble, and but fifty or sixty
of their men succeeded in getting near
the fort, very few of whom returned
Our loss in the whole affair was trifing.
The Government has not had advices
