OhiO'S Quota.

Onr Columbus specials have stated
the deficiency in Ohio's quota tor three
years men at about 1000. This number
was the estimate of the officials there. The
deficiency in Hamilton county, AZ reported
by our provost marshals, is in round numbers
5. 800. Il is also TACT that orders have
been received TO com mence the draft in the
State without delay. Aware Of the c!rcum
stances above mentioned, when We found IN
Secretary Stanton's letter, published in
Yesterdays issue, 2.0OD(in figures) set down
as the number Of men still required from
Ohio, we thonghtth the telcgrapher must have
dropped cipher, and accordingly supplied
the supposed omission We find the letter,
however. in Thursdays Washington Chron-
icle, with the words ''sss than two thousand
is due from Ohio" The two Thousand is
in letters, not figures, aud the text OF tue let
ter doubtless came direct from the War
Office There can hprily be any doubt that
the Secretary wrote two thousand" but we
cannot see how this number can be recon
cled with the credits Of the local officiaIs.
Were this small deficiency the true one, a
draft would scearcey be ordered, for New
York and other States equally and more
delinquent have not yet been called on.
The gentlemen who are opposed to com
pulsory eniisrments should therefore take
no comfort in the Secrtary's estimate which
was probably a slip of the pen. Il Gin. Gaz.

COPPERHEADs REJOICING.

Some of the copperheads ofthis coun-
ty are very much rejoiced over Cover
nor Brough's call for the National
Guard. They rejoice because this is
peculiarly loyal organization, composed
almost exclusively of Union men, and
calling it into the service takes so many
more loyal men from their homes, and
leaves better field for them TO operate
in, and SOW their seeds of treason and
dissension. We cannot see why they
should rejoice over this call any more
than over any previous call filled by
volunteers; for all of them have been
filed by the LOYAL UNION PARTY Our
army belongs to the Union Party; it
votes with the Union Party-and when
the war is over the Union Party will
have the credit of having furnished the
soldiers for its prosecution.
1t is true that few men who have
been in the army are now identified
with the present Peace Party; but their
loyalty was always Of very question
able character, and most of them found
themselves in the army from pocuniary
Notwithstanding military service O
stepping-stone to political preferment
We would say to these rejoicing stay
at-home young men of the Copperhead
persuasion: BE not over rjubilant. Those
sneering smiles with which you greeted
the National Guard as it was on its way
to the field of duty, in the great future,
when, in the enjoyment of peace, these
and the other soldiers Of the Union
shall be enjoying the credit and the
honors their cheerful discharge of duty
shall earn for them, will become a
ghastly grin to haunt your disquieted
souls under the universal condemna-
ton and contempt you will receive
from loyal people.

The Crops in Indiana.
The Indianapolis journal says:

Between the long rains, and the call for
short volunteers, the crops this year don't
seem just now very tavorably situated. The
spring is unusually backward, and volunteers
unusually and whilst one makes la
Dor impracticable, the other takes it away
altogether. We can hardly expect anything
more than an average ofany crop dependent
on cultivation this year. Such weather has
rarely been seen since the deluge. 1t has
rained almost necessarily for the better, or
worse, part of two weeks, and the conse-
quence is the ground is soaked into mud two
feet down, and the steams are high over the
bottoms in every direction from which we
can hear One good effect is that the wheat
aud grass are coming forward finely. In
Noule county, where but three weeks ago it
was thought no crop wonld be made at all,
the Herald says now 'the wheat is looking
first rate" In Hendricks county the Ledger
reports the wheat excellent. standing well
and half leg high" and "the crop will fall
little short Of an average" The Marshall
County Republican says the rains are bring,
ing out the wheat surprisingly" Several
similar reports reach us, and leave us the
consolation that the flood is not going TO be
an uumxed evil. Fruit is generally repor'
ted better than was first supposed.

UNION FOR UEION.

There are three classes Of persons
engaged in manufacturing opinion hos
tile to the Union Convention called at
Baltimore. First, the enemies of the
American Government and human lib
erty, known as Copperheads' Second,
the declared opponents of Mr.. Lincoln's
nomination in any case whatever. This
class calls the Baltimore call "inso-
lent!" and criticises the Administra-
ton with all the acridity Of the fercest
rebel journals. Third the class which
is wholly devoted to the country and to
liberty, but is dissatisfied with the in
fluences that surround the President,
and are persuaded that Mr.. Seward and
Mr. Blair are almost as dangerous to
the good cause as jefferson Davis or
Lee. This class wishes the Conven-
tion to be postponed until after General
Grant has fought, and, in any case,
asks that the terms Of the call may be
so changed as to include War Demo
Gratis and all other loyal Union men.
AS to the first part of their objection,
1t is clear that under no circumstances
whatever could the policy of man like
the President be altogether agreeable tc
them, 1t will always be more cautiou:
and patient policy than they approve
The practical point, therefore, for then
to decide is, whether, looking at tn,
whole course of his administration, th'
cause will be imperiled by its continu
ance; or whether, all the circumstance
considered, any other man known to u

Of Fernando Woods endorsement of. Mr..

Soldiers Pay--DemagOgues Re

Senator Fessenden rebuked the DEM
agagues in Cangress the other day, who
are proposing to pay the soldiers in
coin, very handsomely. Said he:

act with me in this body, that, with all res
pect and all proper humility, counsel them
not to he frightened when the question Of
soldiers pay is concerned; let not their
heart beat so as to beat the buttons off their
jackets. Meet this question like statesmen.

and many Of them better than we are. They
understand these Questions, and they under

uELP ron TuErARMEps.

There is great scarcity of help in
the country. Our farmers, owing to
the unfavorableness of the. spring and
the scarcity of hands, are very much be-
hind with their ploughing and planting,
and unless something is done to assist
them, there will be very short crop
planted and worked. We are pleased
to learn, however, that the citizens of
the towns and villages are taking this
matter into consideration, and are ma
king arrangements to remedy the evil
as far as possible by rendering their
services to the farmers, to assist them
in planting and working their crops
At Mt. Pleasant, in Jefferson County,
we hear that some of the most wealthy
and influential of the citizens have join
ed together for this purpose; and we
hope to hear Of their good example be-
ing followed in other towns. There are
scores of men in our towns whose bus
iness might be left for amonth or two,
without Inconvenience to themselves or
to community; but what must be the ef-
feet upon all, if the farmers for want OF
help are unable to getin their crops?--
The calling out Of the National Guard
in Ohio has been severer blow to the
farmers than all the other calls made fol
troops since the commencement of the
war. The National Guard is composed
principally of farmers and their sons
and they are called away from their la
Dor at the very worst time possible, anC
unless their places are supplied by th'
mechanics, the merchants and the pro
fessional men of the towns, it cannot b.
otherwise than that we shall all suffc

Detaiis Of tins surrender.

THE Newbern, N. c., Times, of the
9th, states that up to Wednesday the rebels
had not made their appearance in that
vicinity, and the general impression there
was that General Piekett's Division had been
recalled to Virginia Gen. Peck has been
very busy in strengthening the Notifications
and clearing the decks for action. The
Times contains the following late particulars
Of the siege and capture of Plymouth:
The first attack was made on Fcrt Gray,
which was situated about one mile from
town on the Roanoke river. The rebel
battery which commanded the fort, itisssid
was planted on Folks Island, about hall
mile distant. On Wednesday morning the
rebels prepared to storm our works in Ply
mouth. They accordingly massed their
forces, and precpitated them upon Fort
Vessels, Battery Worm, Fort Gray and Fort
Williams. These places were taken in detail
after several repulses, and were finally cap
| tured.
But even then, it is said, that Gen. Wes-
sells still held out and fought the rebels in the
streets Of Plymouth. throwing mp rifle pits

off his coat and went into the work himself

negroes, we regret to hear, are said to have
