And whereas, The said bill contains

aside and held for naught, thereby re,
polling and discouraging the loyal cit
izcns who havo set up the samo, rs to

tional competency in Congress to Nbol-
ish slavery in tho States; but am at

am fully satisfied with the system for
restoration contained in the bill rs q
very proper plan for the people Of any
State choosing to adopt it and that |
am, and at all times shall be, prepared

obedience to tho Constitution and laws
of the United States, in which case
Military Governors will be appointed
with directions to proceed according

prominent citizens Of Cincinnati and Coyington, ETC.,
speaking in the highest terms of Dr. strcklands An.
tcholcra Mixture for the cure Of darrhwa and dysen

ofCovington, says he was pronounced ncurablc by

Of darrhma and dysentcry in the barracks he was IN

HIGH PRICES.

Ono OF tho greatest evils which The
friends Of the Union cause have to
contend against during the campaign
il the cry of high prices. Those who
arc not in the habit Of looking into
causes nor calculating consequences,
and who sec only the present and
choic under It's burdens, may bc mis-
led by tho enemies Of tho cause and
deceived into opposing the only policy
which can save tho Government and
the Union, These enemies argue to
the people that ifthc war ceases, prices
will go down, aud that therefore the
war should cease. Aud this argument
will no doubt have an influence upon
many minds, The party which sup.
ports tho war for the Union will be
held responsible. not only for the war,
but for all tho evil which the enemies
Of the Union can bring out Of tic
war.
No doubt tic two principal causes
Of the present high prices are the rise
in gold and the imitation of tho currcn,
cy. So fur MS tho latter cause is con
cerned, it will soon DO removed. Mr.
~
Chase, before retiring, began rapidly
tTreducc the volume of tho currency
and Mr.. Fesscnden will continue thi,
reduction. As TO the first cause, il

CALL FOR 500 900 MORE MEN.

Wopublish elsewhere tho President 8
call for 100000 moro troops. From
this Ia To be deducted all men in cx,
cess ofthe last call, and all those who
have enlisted in tho naval service and
have. not bccn credited to any district
or sub-district, and who were not en-.
rolled prior to February 81, 1861
Under the new law, fifty days from
tho date Of the call must be given To
raise the quota of each dstr let before
drafting, We have then until tho 9th
Of Sept 'nbcr to raisc the quota. After
that d, the draft will take place,
the troops TO serve for one year.
ltis believed that by systcmaticanc
vigorous effort tho quota of Ohio car
bc raised by volunteering, and th,
State cleared Of the draft. Our pro
portion Of the 100000 will bc much TO-
duced by largo credits.
II is the duty of all mon to unto in
o vigorous effort to reinforce oul
armies. 1t is to tho interest of all tC
furnish tho forco needed for the speedy
crushing out of the rebellion and Tho
termination ofthc war. Men ofmcan,
who arc not liable 10 drall, may aiC
tho cause materially by furnishing
representative recruits.
Grant is laundering at the gates 0
Richmond, and Sherman at those 0
Atlanta. Give them tho men TO rein
force their ranks and keep open thoir
communications, and they will holc
their positions and advance steadily
until the rebellion is driven to the wal
and crushed. That timo is not lal
distant, if they arc sustained by The
people for whom they are battling.

Propor ing to strike at the North.

Tho rebels count largely upon the
hclp of Long, Harris, Voorhees, and
Vallandigham, in establishing thcil
independence. The Atlanta (Ga.) Ap
peal, says that every blow which the
rebels strike is so much bone and mus
Gle to the arm, which, under the train
ing Of these men, is preparing to strike a,
the North. Here is an extract from an
article on the prospect of peace;
"Whilst we may look with some do
gree Of confidence TO tho people of the
North, driven to despair by the mem
ory of their countless dead, and tho
bankruptcy and utter ruin which now
stare them in tho face, to dcthronC
the tyrant and put stop to tho furth
or progress Of the war, VIC must moi
stay nor lessen our own efforts to bring
about that consumation SO dcvoutedly
to be wished. Every successful blow
ave strike is so much bono and muscl,
to the arm which, under tho training
of Long, Harris, Voorhees, and Vallan
dig ham, is preparing to strike at thC
North"

An Appeal from Governor BrouEh.

COLLUMBUS, July 10, lob4,
The Governor has just returned
froma trip Of some two weeks dura-
ton to the Eastern cities and Wash
ington. Whilo en- route he took oc-
casion 10 look in on tho Hospitals and
inquire into the wants of the wounded
and sick soldiers from his own State,
and elsewhere. Tho following ap,
peal 10 the people of Ohio cmbodies
tho results of his inquiries and re-
searches. ~ -+
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT Ono, |
COLUMBUS, July Is, 1864,
TO The Aid Societies and People Of Ohio:
During my late eastern trip 1 wit
messed much of the workings of our
State Agencies, and particularly the
Ohio Relief Association at Washing
Ton. They are doing world Of
good to our sick and wounded men,
and the gratitude and confidence Of
our soldiers arc unbounded. They
are cheored and encouraged by these
ministrations of kindness, and regard
their State and its people with emo
tions of pride and pleasure. The
Eastern Department has been liber-
ally supplied up to this time, but
the addition of our National Guard
to the forces in that sctioa imposes
now burthens upon us and within
the present month our supplies will
be exhausted. Such as can be pur-
chased with money our agents arc
continually providing, but We require
the aid of the people to relieve the
increasing wants of our soldiers.
On my return, l find strong appeals
coming up from Louisville, Nashville
and Chattanooga. From the latter
point our indeiatigable agent writes
-'send us rags, lint, bandagcs, shirts,
drawers and socks" We have now
about 400 sick and wounded at Camp
Dcnnison, about tho same number at
about Louisville, over 1000 at Nash
Vile and tho samenumber at Chatta-
nooga. Our agencies are we'll suppl
cd with hclp--good, earnest men-who
are aboring with energy night and
day. They spare no expenditure
where money can be used to advan-
tagc, but they want supplies-artlcles
they cannot purchase, and which our
generous people can furnish. The
State pays freight and all expenses of
distribution. Will you help us?
As we understand the wants Of the
various sections hero, the best course
is to send supplies direct to Quarter
master General Merrill Barlow, who
viii forward to the points Of destna-
ton. ...,
find that one of tho most useful,
and indeed necessary, articles in our
hospitals, is the various preparations
of tho blackberry such as cordial,
syrup, and the fruit canned. A SER
gcon said to me, at Washington, that
every bottle Of black berry cordial OF
syrup that came into the hospital, saw
cd human life. Think of that, little
boys and girls, and take up your bask-
cts and 60 and pick them full of black,
berries. You can thus aid our brave
men, who are fighting to preserve the
institutions of tho country for the fu'
turc. There is syrup prepared from
the root of tho blackberry, which
many of tho good women Of our coun
} try know how TO compound, that is al
most invaluable. Dried fruits of any
kind are useful
mako this appeal in confidence thai
our people will respond TO it. The
need is urgent, the wants Of our mel
arc great. Very Respectfully,
JOHN BROUGH.
