Coz. Andrew Johnson on SIayery and
-sl.. Compensated LaheF.

In the coarse of speech at an Eighth oi
January eclcbration, in Nashville, Tennes-
soc, Gov. johnson remarked as follows, on
the progress of opinion in Tennessee:
Before the rebellion We could discuss all
Institutions, all subjects, all measures, except
slavery. On that subject no one dared spenk,
or write, OF print, except On the side of the
slave afistperacy, Now, think God, the
time has come when the press is anmnzzicd
when the press can discuss this and al
other subjects. The time has come when
this intitatSs, ia dead -,Vss1 the sisssissar,s
broken and the captive set ffre. Applause. !
The institution is dead-applause and
slaves arc not worth quarter of'a dollar a
dozen. Langhtcr.l Being dead, let US, in
becoming manner, prepare for the funeral.
Now is the time TO dispose Of tho great
question. it in great question, and ono
which must be settled upon the great prin-
ciple of huuan freedom not BY Abolition

From The Cincinnati Commercial Republican,
General Mcclellan.

We observe that an effort is being made
to place General Mcclellan in command of
the defenses of Washington, and probably
the forces now scattered along the Upper
Potomac, from Harper's Ferry to Cumber-
land. Even his enemies must concede to
him abilities as commander, superior to
those of dozen or more officers now hold
ing important positions. Those who insist
that he is traitor or is in sympathy with
the rebels, do not know the man, or are
maliciously determined to disparage him.
His political sentiments may not tally with
those OF the Administration, but that is not
competent reason for his forced retire.
ment. There are good many Generals
whose views differ as widely from those OF
the Administration as General McClellan's,
but IL has not been deemed expedient OF
proper to remove them on that account
Whatever doubts are entertained by in
formed and unprecedented persons of Gen
McClellan's ability as field-commander
1t Is generally admitted that he is compe-

The Draft.

The Philadelphia Age speaks as follows
The New York World deplores the hesita-
tion of the masses in that city to answer the
requsition for more troops, and is discOur-
aged to find that the total number of vol
unteers recruited in that city during the
week ending on Saturday last was only one
hundred and twenty-siX. Other papers are
complaining that the people do not respond
promptly to the call of the President. The
new conscription does not seem to stimulate
volunteering. Everywhere it seems to have
fallen like blow on the benumbed spirit of
the North. Every one asks, with ill-con-
cealed anxiety, where are these five hun
dred thousand men to come from, and what
is to be their doom? When they, like all
before them, are wasted in fruitless conflict,
are there to be others called for, and will
the hideous sacrifice of life and health and
industry ever estayed? These are thoughts
that will present themselves. These are
questions which must be answered within
the sad and short interval of forty days, at
the end of which the knell will sound,
and the frightful lot be cast that separates
the surviving child from the mother
the young brother from his dependent
sister, and sends him to be picketed
among the innumerable graves of Vir-
ginia and Georgia-to fight in useless bat
ties. We have a right, at this distance from
the crisis, to speculate on the result OF this
anxious meditation of an excited and ex-
hausted people, and on the answers which
may be given to these terrible questions,
which men ,ciH ask of men before che day
of doom arrives. OF one thing we are very
certain, that the rural population, at least,
will not be much influenced by what they
read In the mercenary newspapers which
uphold the military action of the Admins
tration, and that something more than
threadbare rhetoric about the Flag, and the
Union, and the Capitol, will be needed to
counteract the just indignation which these
respective drafts, never effecting anything,
excite. The farmer, who sees the enrolling
officer coming to his door to take the only
hand left-perhaps his son-that works the
plow; the poor woman who is watching the
children while her husband tolls at the
loom, or in the mine, and knows that her
husband is to be taken away to die, and she
and her little ones left to staIve on poor
paper allotment which halt the time is not
paid, these have right, which no despot-
ism can destroy, to demand the reason of
all this, and why the hard working sons of
the adhering States should be sent-time
and again-to fight battles which result In
nothing but SO many more graves filled.

Gen. Bartlett, of Ledlie's division, new
appointee, was captured by the enemy. 1t
will be remembered that Gen. Bartlett lost
his leg at Port Hudson, and used a false one;
this being broken in the last melee, render
ed it impossible for this gallant young gem
eral to inove--hence his capture.
Thus ended this first mining operation
and attack against the enemy's works. II
it effected nothing else, it developed the
strength of the enemy's works at the point
where the attack was made. Our losses are
not as large as those of the rebels. 1t is es-
timated that in the crater alone upward OF
two hundred and fifty of them were killed
outright, most of them being buried alive
All our wounded were brought within our
lines and many prisoners.
~ We were unable, however, to bring of

A Startling Rumor.

The telegraph informed us last night, that
there was rumor in New York that GRANT
was retreating to Washington-in conse-
quence of which gold rose to 25s1a. This
is a. startling rumor, and will create a
profound sensation throughout the country.
We have been satisfied for some time, that
GRANTS campaign against the rebel Capital
is failure. He has done all that could be
done, hampered as he was by the Admins
tration. MCCLELLAN would have taken
Richmond two years ago, if he had been al
lowed half chance. GRANT might have
done it, if he had been permitted to have
his own way. 1t is melancholy duty to
have to write thus. aaF1.a e-f

TO the Press:

We are about revising and pruning our
exchange list. Many more papers come to
us than we need, and yet we dislike to cut
off any; but the extraordinary price which
everything now brings, makes it necessary
for us to economise wherever we can. It
with regret that we part company from
some of our Brethren of the Press; but ''the
state of the country" seems to require it.
If we Inadvertently strike from our list any
exchanges that are entitled to The STATES
MAN for printing our Prospectus, they will
please notify us of the mistake, and we will
cheerfully correct it. NIX a~-,rt1

| s'CHIcAGo CONVENTION.
wThe excitement In regard to the chicago
| Convention increases as the day of its meet
| ing draws near. All eyes are turned III
| that direction. The Developments OF the
| last three weeks, commencing with the re-
cent raid on Washington, which caused
feeling of disgust towards the officials at
Washington on all sides, has, upon other
developments, rapidly increased, until now
Republicans and those who one month ago
almost worshipped Lincoln, speak lightly
of him. Men who were the first to enter
the Republican ranks, now say that they
are losing confidence in Lincoln's patriot
ism; that his opposition to postponing the
Baltimore Convention, viewed In the light
of recent events, looks as though he
cared more for his reelection than
he does for the interests of the country.
In short, it has become common
thing to hear men, who have heretofore
charged those who criticised Lincoln's
acts with being traitors, openly state
that they were afraid that Iincoln's re-
election would insure the recognition OF
the South and dissolution of the Union. TO
hear Republicans and heretofore extreme
Lincoln men talk In this way, is certainly
significant. That such is the case, no man
who will take the trouble to converse with
the rank and file outside of those who are
under the influence of the shoddy contrac-
tors and office-holders, can very long doubt.
To such the truth Of the above statements
need no further proof of the fact, that the
general public, even Republicans, now be-
gin to look upon the defeat of Lincoln as
the only hope for the restoration of the
Union. There has been within the last three
weeks the most astonishing revolution in
the minds of the people in this respect"
1t is SO everywhere. Wereceive evidence
of it daily, from all parts of the country.
Here in Ohio, the change in public senti-
ment is going on with wonderful rapidity.
The Republicans have stopped defending
their candidate. 1t is almost impossible
now to provoke any of them to say a kind
word for the ''smutty joker" The game is
nm with him. i' % ''

An Important Error i'm the Draft
fE .rt 0uOtn. ut- N. -f'
from The Dayton Journal. Augusta al

from The Dayton Journal, August 81
We have reliable information that an err
ror has been detected in the assignment OF
| the quota for troops in Ohio, under the
Presidents call of the 18th of July for 500,-
| 600, of $4,000 in favor of the State Of Ohio.
| We are informed, furthermore, that as soon
as the blunder Is worked out thoroughly 1t
will be officially announced. In this event.
our State quota, instead of being $4,000 will
be $1,000; the quota of the Third district,
instead of being 3.040, will be about $500 ;
the quota of Montgomery county, instead
of being I,109, will be about SIG; the quota
of Dayton will be, instead of 3SS, about 2S5.
The Cincinnati Gazette disposes of the
above paragraph thus: lri.-..I
The Dayton Journal has ''reliable infor-
nation that an error has been detected in
the assignment of the quota for troops in
Ohio" of $4,000, and accordingly our true
quota is 81, 900 instead of $4,000. The Jour
nal saws that it is uniformed furthermore,
that as soon as tile blunder is worked out
thoroughly, it will be officially annouhc-
ed"
''Relable information!' The Journals in
formant is too destitute of good sense to be
''reliable;" for the quota of Ohio under the
100000 call, is not one short Of 50792. An
instant of mathematical thought, would
have convinced The Journal of its "blun-
der" and saved it about half days work
in re-calculating the ward and township
quotas OH the new basis. The quota of In
diana is 1892, Illinois 36, 900 in whole num-
bers, Pennsylvania 61,700. New York S9,3lS,
and Massachusetts 2l,670. These are all
the same proportions to the respective pop
ulations of these States, as 50,792 is to the
population of Ohio. Credits may reduce
the quota OF Ohio to something like The
Journals figures, but blunders will not.

FASTING, Humiliation, and Prayer

Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer.
o. =. This day has been set apart by the Presi-
dent of the United States, as day of fast
ing, humiliation, and prayer. 1t may not
be inappropriate to call the attention OF
our people to the observance of the same.
The Mayor of New York has issued
Proclamation, asking the ministers of the
several churches of that city, on whom will
devolye the duty of opening prayer in the
presence of their congregations, and es-
,pecially those ministers who have incul-
Gated the doctrines of war and blood, so
much at variance with the teachings OF
their Divine Master, to invoke, on this
solemn occasion, the mercy of Heaven, to
hasten the relief of our suffering people,
by turning the hearts Of those in authority
to the blessed ways Of Peace. T H~y'
In the same spirit would we make our
recommendation to the clergy of this city.
Those especially who have for more
than three years preached the Gospel OF
Hate instead of the Gospel Of Christ, ought
to retrace their steps to-day, and respond to
the Presidents Proclamation in manner
that shall truly accord with the Holy Re-
ligion they profess. Let them pray for
Peace which passeth all understanding; let
them pray that those in authority may be
brought to see the error of their ways; let
them pray that Love may take the place OF
Hate, and that the Union OF our Fathers
may be speedily restored. 4ueE iIaia
