Concerning Ohio.a Credits.

The question of volunteeringin in the State
of Ohio will receive a new interest in view
ofthe following facts. Of the 100000 men
called for in the recent Proclamation, the
quota of Ohio is estimated at $4,000
On the first day of May last, at the Bu-
reau of the Provost Marshal, there W Is an
excess ofcredits amounting to 1000 men.
Since that date in addition to those farm
ished by the recent draft and the~enlist-
ments that have been going forward, Ohio
has put 35,975 hundred day men into the
field. These men will and must apply on
the new call Reducing that number to
their equivalent in one years men We have
1856 men. These added to the excess of
last May make an excess from two sources
alone of 2O,s56 men. This number, taken
with the men who have been drafted, en-
listed as substitutes orrepresentative men,
will be increased to $4,000 men. There
then remains 23OOO one year men, or about
5000 three year men to be furnished by
this State.
In viewof this fact, can there be any
question as to the ability of Ohio to raise
the number required within the next
month";
These facts should give a new stimulus to
recruiting. Let us take hold of the work
Immediately and push it to a successful |

From Gen. Grants Army.

THE NORTH SIDE OF THE APPoMATox
is one continuous line of works from Poea-
hQntas opposite Petersburgh, to Fort Clin-
ton. The rebels evidently consider this
their most important position. Here their
artillery, that so frequently opens upon us
is posted, and every morning large work.
ing parties are observed retiring from an
all nights work at strengthening the in
trenchments. The line appears to com
mence with large square fort in the rear
of Whitehead's House, and runs along
down the river through the woods to q
large redoubt. Between the fort and the
redoubt four ri1ed pieces only are mount
ed, but light batteries occasionally run
their guns into its embrasures. The re-
doubt has ten embrasures, and is known
to have in position, two Whitworths, one
thirty -pOnnd, one twenty, and one ten
pound parrot and two Richmond guns.
The works run through the woods aleng
the river bank from the redoubt to Fort
Clifton, with here and there a battery in
position.

Butler CrOss-questiOnlng a Refugee.

4
Old Ben, whose acuteness as a lawyer is
well known, is thus described, while ex-
amining a refugee, by the Tribune cores
pondent;
The first man to undergo this terribly
searching scrutiny was refugee from Rich
mond. "Sit down, Sir" said the General,
pleasantly. "Your name?" "Wm. Jefers. "a
Then followed hundred questions il rap
id succession and logical genealogical
though itrequired all my powers to always
see their drift and aim. Mr.. Jetfers was
finally cornered. At first he was a "gen-
tleman.' Then he modified his statement;
he was aspeculator" A Are-modifcation,
and he was sporting man" And then,
Well-yes-General-I-supp
called me a--gambler." And finally,
when, explaining his antecedents, it be-
came clear that he was but lately out of
the Penitentiary, he said: you've got it
down pretty fne-I may as well cave
then he told the whole truth, and I think
nothing but the truth. Two other individ-
uals of the same ilk, who had come through
with him, were examined in turn, and each
was beautifully astonished at the self-reve-
lations he was made tomake. All had been
living upon their wits, had been conscrip-
ted dozen times, had bribed themselves
off until some weeks ago, when even
thousand dollars Confederate money failed
to secure immunity, and then concealed
themselves, and at last had paid $500 to be
piloted through their lines, having first ta-
ken an oath not to reveal the name of
theiI pilot. However, Gen. Butler has the
name of the pilot, who it itappeared, works
for gain, not for love of the Union-a trai-
tor to felloY-traitors.

About the $500 Conlmutation.

There seems to be some difference of
opinion with regard to the time for which
the individual is exempt who paid the
$500 Communication under some preceding
draft. The true state of the case stands
thus; All who were drafted under the
original enrolment law, and paid $500
were exempt for three years The Pro-
vOst Marshal decided to the contrary, but
Mr.. Lincoln expressly ruled as we have
stated.
The original law applied to all drafts
previous to that ordered by the Presidents
proclamation of Feb. 1st to take place
March 10th. Under the law Just repealed
in accordance with which the draft Just
closed took place, $500 secured exemption
only till the quota under that draft was
filed. Under the draft ordered for Sept
5th, all who paid $500 under the last draft,
viii be again liable. The following deci-
sion, reported in the Ravenna Democrat,
applies, as viii be seen by the date, only
to the last draft:

The Tobacco Crop I'M KeDtueI.v

The tobacco crop of Kentucky will, it is
reporteqJ be bountiful one, and if it can
be put in and secured, will realize a large
amount of money, since from forty five to
fifty dollars tun has been offeredfor what
is called the stripe" alone. But it is
greatly feared that large part Of the
growing tobacco will be lost this wear for
the want of labor to harvestit. A gentle
man from Henderson, Kentucky, on the
Ohio. River, twelve miles below Evans
vile, was in Indianapolis, Indiana, few
days since offering hands fifty dollars
month and board, to got to his ssection ofthe
country and help save the tobacco CROP
The negroes there who have hitherto
worked tobacco in the fields have gener-
ally been enlisted in the army, ard hence
the farmers and planters are without
full supply of laborers, and their crops are
in danger of being lost.

RnMnRs OF PEACE.

At stated intervals, rumors of peace go
flying through the air like soap bubbles,
to amuse the people or accomplish some
sinister end in behalf of spectators, poIti-
cal,stock jobbers Oh. sensational newspapers.
Men stop each other in the street and ask,
what think you of the rumors ofpeace2 2
What kind of peace do you want or would
you agree to accept? For little time ethe
question of peace is canvassed. The ru-
mors passes away and the nation that a
short time before caught glimpse Of the
blessed days when spears and swords shall
be converted into pruning hooks and
plow-shares, again buckles on thearmor of
war; determined to achieve peace up the
bloody nights of fierce unrelenting war
Just now there come rumors of peace
again.
Horace Greely and Mr. Lincolns pri-
vate Secretary Hay, are reported as hav-
ing been in secret communion with the
emmissaries of jeff Davis.
By the loud roaring niagara, these gen
tleman, Rumor saith, are cOncocting
schemes to bring the country together
The following are reported tie be the terms
upon which the rebels are ready to lay
down their arms:
First, All negroes which have been ac-
tually freed by the war to be secured in
such freedom. Second--All negroes al
present held as slaves, to remain SUCH
Third--The war debt Of both parties tc
be paid by the United States. Fourth
The old doctrine of States Rights to be
recognized in recOnstrueting the Union
Mr. Lincoln, not to be outdone in his
demonstrativeness or willingness to make
terms, is also rumorcd to have made the
following proposal;
The terms upon which he would propose
settlement and reconstruction, to-wit-thC
The full and complete restorution q
all its teorirtorial integrity, the abandon
ment of slavery by the seeded States un
der conditions which should, while respect
ing the property rights of all loyal men
afford ample security against another wal
in the interest of slavery.
Ofthe two, we decidedly prefer the lat
ter. Indeed we think if the nation had {
chance to say to-day what they would pre-.
fer, they would choose the latter likewise
But the rumored proposals of peace
have another object in view. The willy
plotters who have taken Yalandingham's
place, and are waiting and watching ovsl
the border" wish to precipitate the Chica.
go Convention upon a peace platform
Not that they want such peace as the ma
tion is ready to give, but because they are
in hopes Of still further distracting the
North.
General Grant is a good peace maker
When the rebels are ready to lay down
their arms and return to their allegiance
they win find the north ready to listen to
proposals for peace. But as to re-estab-
fishing slavery, assuming their debt, or
recognizing the doctrine of state rights
according to their notion of it, the propo-
sition, is simply ridiculous. The North
never will tolerate the idea.

I'VE want Darlzies too. ;,

The New York World, Express and

for the promptness with which Gsvernor

the rebel states. One would have sup

they would not tolerate the idea as too
Notifying to their patriotic pride of sub
stituting black men for white democrats.
The World however has new light on
the subject, and fvors recruiting in the
rebel states for this reason;
We want all the men we can keep at
home to supply our scant labor market,
and vote the Democratic ticket next fall
so as to be rid of this wretched abortion of
an administration. The people who are
conducting this war think negroes make
as good soldiers as white men, and as they
are responsible for the war and not we; let
them have their darkies, so that as many
white men as possible may be retained at
home. lsds .a ra. ..

The Harvest I'M Carroll Co.

The CARROLL UNION Press SAYS
Our farmers have been, for week or two
past, gathering their grain and hay. From
the best information we can get throogh-
out the country, is that in many places the
wheat is scarcely worth gathering, while in
aifew sections there are some pretty good
fields. The grass crop is also light; and if
the dry weather confines long, there will
be great scarcity of ofprovender, the coming
winter. -E4

The Cost of a "TRIP from Washington to

By new order of the War Depart
ment, all civilians are charged IS to Fort
Monroe and 81 so to City Point, for mere
transportation. The steamboat fare, be-
sides this, is so cents each for supper,
berth and breakfast, and 81 for dinner, to
all who wish to avail themselves of these
accommodations. This new charge for
transportation (which has always, hereto
fore, been furnished free to civilians hav-
ing passes, is certainly a very fair and
commendable, as well as effeetual way of
adding to the revenue for the support of
the war. May it be kept up.

THE WINNING BOAT.

It would not be proper to close our re-
port of the race without word about the
winning boat. She was built at Harlem,
by MIR. Mckay, and weighs nearly forty
pounds. She is built of Spanish ceadar,
and is covered fore and aft with oil silk
and the sculls, although nine feet and a
half long, only weigh, tOgther, four pounds.
The boat has not received a name as yet,
but will doubtless be baptized to-day
Wards boat was built at Newburg, and
was heavier byssOme pounds than Hamill's.
We understand that it was purchased by
one of our citizens and will remain here.

A RIOwHARD.

One Sylvester Mowry, who is undoubtedly
4 "hell of a fellow" has been writing a long
rigmarole to the San francisco Ne'cS Letter,
which contains just enough of gas, and det-
ance OF the Government Of the United States
to suit the alien spy who conducts that pes
tiferous journal. Mr.. Mowry, whoever he
may be, builds up big man of straw about
the Government seizing the mines of Neva-
da, and then proceeds to valorously demolish
it. The following are few extracts from the
document:
And do sensible men propose, now, to take
possession of all this labor and intelligence, and
say to the miners You are trespassers on the
public domain q Does any sane man suppose
there is power enough in this Government or any
other under the sun to do itl
The truth of the matter lies in a nutshell No
power on earth can enforce any legislation which
proposes to take possession of the mines, and the
sooner this is unders,oodth better The people
of California Nevada Idaho and Arizona will rise
en- adsse against it. Therefore, let Congress DC
warned in time. The hold Of the Union on the
Pacific empire is purely one Of feeling ana seh'i'
ment. Touch Our mining tenure win rough
hand. aud you turn the warmest feelings OF the
strongest Union man, the most earnest Demo-
crat and the most devoted Republican into hate
and uudying enmity. We have. through much
suffering out OF your waste of worthless public
domain. made thriving commonwealth. Every
par, of the country is benefited by our labor,
and, in our own way, we daily add TO this store
more 10 the country than 10 ourselves.
Let Congress touch this matter delicateiy Any
legislation which proposes TO take away from ac-
tual, bona fde posseSsOrs, their mines can nave
but one OF two results-a forcible stoppage OF tue
protection of the precious metals by the seizure
Of the mines by an army larger than now in the
tield-or rising of the people of the frontier that
no army can put down. Is it wise to try the eN'
peTimeuti
Now, we object to Mr.. Sylvester Mowry in
timidating the Government of the United
States with his warning that they had better
do this, and better not do that. And when
he comes to shake in the face Of trembling
Congress the terrible might of California, the
Territories that are to rise with their fear
full military strength at the bugle horn of him,
the said Sylvester, the absurdity of the FOOLS
beyond endurance.
The idea Of such seizure Of mining prop
erty as he speaks of has never entered into
any brain save that which fills the skull of
the assinine blockhead who signs himself Syl-
vester Mowry. But that individual ought to
know BY this time that the United States
Government has the power to enforce any
ordinance that it may please to pass concern
ing the mines, and that all his talk about
armed resistance to the laws Of Congress is
sheer balderdash. 1t is very suitable matter,
however, for the columns of the Ne,cs Letter.
1t will need some armed resistance to save
that institution, editor and all, from being
dumped into the Bay one Of these summer
days.

The election held Yesterday for delegates
to the Constitutional Convention passed of
with perfect apathy in this county, and prob
ably throughout the Territory. The result in
this county was the defeat Of one Of the regu-
lar Union candidates, and the triumph of one
of the boilers. As to the moving causes
of the "bolt," we have heard it only account
ed for BY the vaulting ambition Of the parties
concerned, and 4 mixing up Of the defunct
greenback issue. There was so little interest
felt in the matter that the friends Of the de-
festeG regular candidate, although aware
that struggle would be made BY the oppOsi-
ton, made no counter effort themselves, and
let the matter so by default. Those who
succeeded in carrying their point have
achieved no great amount Of glory and dis
tinction, and those who were defeated have
suffered no great amount of damage, dis
honor or disgrace. The gentlemen who are
elected to represent Storey county in the Con-
stitutional Convention, stand fair as Union
men, and there is no fear to De entertained
that any other than sound constitution
will be framed by that body. The utter in
difference of the people, as exhibited by the
small vote cast at Virginia, augurs badly for
the adoption OF the State Constitution and
government, when that issue shall be present.
ed to them next September. The same
causes that led to the rejection Of the former
Constitution exist still and we are inclined
to the belief that the adverse feeling then
manifested mas been rather aggravated than
diminished. The opponents Of the measure
will resort 10 the ever powerful cry of ''in-
creased taxation" and the oppressed financial
condition of the country will make that cry
still more potential. To attempt to carry on
State Government without imposing some
sort Of taxation upon the mines, is thing
entirely out Of the question; and we doubt
the ability Of any set Of lawmakers to devise
any method Of such taxation, that will not be
construed by the opponents of State Gov
eminent into oppression and outrage. These
are, however, mere matters Of guess-work
and speculation and the fckleness Of the
popular mind is no newly discovered fact.
The Convention must be held; the Constitu-
ton must be framed, and submitted to the
people. What they will do with it is not
present question. We were talking about
who were elected delegates, and that infor-
nation viii be found in the following table Of
