The people at the recent election
having decided that "my plan" Of the
President must be carried out, are
duly notified by the recent Iroclama-
ton Of His Excellcncy that the details
thereof must receive due attention at
then hands. Three hundred thousand
more men are required to finish up
the slight JOB which was to bo COM
pleted az the the outset in sixty days
aid "Lobody hurt" and in the brief
space Of sixty days these men must
"shonlder up their muskets and be
marching to save our happy land" or
al inoxoraLle CONSUMPTION will wiring
fom this feiicitOus country, many por-
tipns of which arc nearly depleted OF
population liable TO draft, the indis-
r3ns:lls quotas" to take part in the
g,aud closing out scenes Of the war,
now said to be near at hand-as we
hone they are, though our faith is none
o. the strongest in this Particular
Inc loading question now, however,,
l. how a.o these men to be raised I?
Tia. they must be raised there is no
question. We believe they can be
raised by volunteering under the sys-
tom pursued last fall, and that by
this plan the burden falls most
equally upon ell, while the derange-
ment Of business is far less, and the
aggregate pecuniary sacrifices are not
as great, even in the event of liberal
bcunties being paid, as by an attempt
to accomplish the result by individual
effort, in which case much hardship
and suffering must necessarily follow.
AS a matter Of humanity, therefore,
as sound business policy, and as
plan yielding the greatest good to
the greatest number in both these, as
also in a financial point of view, we
earnestly urge upon the citizens Of
our City and County the necessity and
proprety of prompt and speedy action
by Township, Ward and City commit
toes, many of which are still intact,
with a view to filing the quota Of this
county under the call, with as little
delay as possible.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.
The Richmond Wig contains the
following intelligence, under date Of
Meridian, Mississippi, December 10th:
Authentic information has been re-
ceived that the advance of Gen. Da-
Wilson's raiding column from Baton
Rouge, passed through Augusta, Ber-
ry county, Mississippi, yesterday, for
Mobile. Scott and others are in the
right place. Warm work is expected
on Monday or Tuesday.
The same paper, in reference to the
appearance Of the fleet OFF New Inlet,
North Carolina says: This foreshad-
ows warm work off wiiiuings ton
The defense of the place against q
naval attack is very strong, and Ad-
miral Porter will doubtless discover
he has undertaken an impracticable
thing if he attempts tho reduction of
Wilmington.
The Hhg also says: BY recent
orders the department under General
Beauregard has been extended as to
include South Carolina and the At
lantc seaboard Of Georgia.

1000, The total Union loss does not
exceed 1000, withtwo Generals slight
ly wounded. Hood has pontoons
above the shoals on the Tennessee
River, where the gunboats cannot
reach Thorn. Hood marched on Frank
lin with 10000 men and % pieces OF
artillery. lie will have lost nearly
half his men.
The Richmond Uhl of tho 10th
says the situation in Tennessee is mel
ancholy enough. 1t was black day
for the arm Of Tennessee when john
son lost his command Hood was
soon fanked, beaten and compelled to
abandon Atlanta. He then stepped
aside, hat in hand, and asked Sher-
man to walk through Georgia. He
himself moved up into Tennessee,
whore he has now again got himself
beaten, and this time we fear badly
enough.
The Eraminr also says that tho
campaign in Northern Tennessee has
concluded disastrously for us, we have
no doubt.

THE NEWS.

The War news, which formerly, dur
ing the holiday season, was generally
confined to accounts Of turkey
dinners and the jubilant and &C.
centric festivities of winter quarters,
is this year of entirely different char
acter. "Grim visaged war has not
as yet smoothel his wrinlled
front to "caper nimbly" to the gas
tronomic music Of stuffed gobblers
and champagne fusillades but holds
high carnival, in trench and field, on
sea and land, scorning inglorious ease,
but effecting glorious results, which it
is to be hoped may tend satisfactorily
to solve the gigantic problem now in
process of demonstration.
In Tennessee, Thomas has hood
winhed, out-generaled and larruped
Hood most efectually. Sherman, after
a triumphant march through the heart
of rebeldom, has captured Savannah
with an immense quantity of ordnance,
stores munitions and cotton, and the
preparations for monster attack on
Wilmington by Porter and Butler are
such as to give promise that the result
in that quarter may provo "the grand
est o them a."
The disposition on the part Of a
great portion of the Canadian people
seems to be to condemn the startling
decision Of the Montreal Judge, in
liberating the st. Adams raiders, and
in case the law in the case is really
delocsive,to take such Legislative action
as will in future prevent their coun-
try's becoming the asylum and pro-
toctor Of bands of robbers and out
laws organized therein to prey upon
the unprotected inhabitants of neigh
boring and friendly nation. The
sober, second thought" there as else
where is apt TO be right, and we i'm
ngine there is no great danger of any
serious trouble with our neighbors OF
the northern border, however pom
rously some of their soporifc journals
may dilate on theimmensity of British
hospitality.
Congress, after getting into reason.
able working order, adjourned as i:
customary, for the Holidays. Coli

FROM SHERMAN'S ARMY.
]. G. FOSTER, Maj. Gen.
Special Dispatch to the Western Press.
IL

New York, Dec. %.
The WorlFs Washington special
says: Col. Babcock, personal aid to
Con. Grant, has returned from Sher-
mans army. He expresses the belief
that Savannah cannot possibly hold
out longer than fifteen days. He
found Sherman's army in remarkably
good condition and full of enthusiasm.
The cavalry did nearly all the fighting
that was required on the way from
Atlanta to Savannah. The rebel re-
sistance everywhere was of feeble
character.
Sherman was in full communication
with the feet, and is securely posted
to thoroughly invest Savannah at his
leisure.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Ledger says detailed
dispatches from Gen. Sherman show
that Savannah was not besieged on
the east side, though all the main av-
cnues arc closed. Gen. Sherman is
confident the city would BIO in his pos
session by New Years.
The Heralds Fort McAllister cor
respondent says Thomas has crippled
Hood so that he cannot muster 5000
men Leo can spare no mon; Bragg
has 10000 men on the river some.
where above Savannah and 10000
more at Charleston and Wilmington
Hardee has Is, 900 in Savannah. Af
ter tho fall of Savannah, Sherman''
campaign will not be ended. The cor
respondent thinks he may move upor
Charleston and Wilmington.

IL should not be forgotten that we
now have a first-class Agricultural aud
Family Journal, the Western Rwal,
published in our own State, which, for
many reasons, should receive the sub
soriptions Of our people instead of any
Eastern journal of the class. Though
only started on tho LIST of September
last, it has met the most nattering
success. and we are pleased 10 saw i'm
proves with every issue. Some novel
features, to be introduced on the LIST
OF January, will render it desirable
visitor to every Michigan household.
One Of these is q series of War Por-
traits and Sketches which is to include
not only portraits of the distinguished
leaders Of the armies, but, moro par
ticularly, those Of our own "brave
Michigan boys" who have honored
themselves by deeds of gallantry.-
The publisher, we understand, is max
ing arrangements to give portraits of
some Of tho honored dead, as we'll as
the gallant living, in whom our own
readers are especially interested. The
series will be invaluable for preserva-
ton.
A novel feature in Market Repol Is
is also to be introduced, which will be
particularly valuable to farmers, as it
will give the prices paid for the lead
ing articles Of produce at the princi-
pal market points in the State Sub

and makes out that the Democrats have done as
well ms the Abolitonists. lie says;

AN ANEcDoTE FOR THE TIMEs.-The
writer of an obituary notice Of the
late Deacon Eben Bartholomew, who
died recently in the township Of
Crockery, in Ottawa county, H., whom
the notice says: "was man of great
decision Of character, and always
maintained entire control over him
self" relates the following incident
which conveys n pertinent lesson for
the present time, when, according to
the current report of Executive par
lance and the dire experience of all
who purchase, everything is getting
so high"
The writer Of this once dined ut
at his sons house, and had seat next
to the old gent at the table. He was
then an old man of eighty. Observ-
ing that he took no tea, l remarked:
1t is very unusual for persons of
your age to decline cup of tea.'-
Said he, / shall never drink a cup of
tea again while it remains so high"
