MASS MEETING.

We call the attention of the people Of
Ashland County to the call for a Mas
Meeting of all its citizens in Ashland, on
Saturday the 10th day of August. We
understand the object of the meeting to
be to take into consideration the terrible
burdens under which the people of the
country are % laboring, and to try to
devise some measures of relief. The Pres
ident proposes to draft five hunred
more men from the farms and workshops
of Ashland County to be sent to the boot
less slaughter that has marked the last
three years of our history. We hope to
see as large a crowd as ever assembled in
Ashland County meet together to take
calm and considerate action upon a ques-
ton which concerns all SO deeply.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Information
from Sherman's army leavs no doubt of
the capture of General Stoneman, with
a portion of the forces under him.
New York, Aug. s.-The Herald's
City point letter of the 18th, says Grant
and q portion of his staff left for Wash.
ington the day previous.
The Herald's correspondent in the De-
partment of the Susquehanna says high
authorities that are acquainted with the
general military situation in this vicinity,
believe that a heavy engagement will
comeof at or near Shsrpsburg, Boonsboro
old Antietam battlefield, or perhaps fur
Their up toward Gettysburg. The move
ments of our own and the enemy's forces
indicate such a result. It is supposed
Longstrect will command the rebels.
BALTIMORE, Aug. S.-The American
furnishes the following in advance Of its
publication hero : We learn from a gen
tleman who arrived here this morning
from the Upper Potomac, that the entire
rebel force yesterday evacuated the Mary
land side of the Potomac, moving off in
great haste. Their rear guard crossed at
Shcpherdstown at IL O'Clock yesterday
morning, and the balance crossed at Han
| cock about the same time. From the
south side of the Potomac we learn that
Gen. Early has been moving up the val
ley towards Winchester, with his harvest
trains, during all last we.k, securing the
country for conscripts and grain. The
information receiveda week since that the
rebels would make a feint movement on
Maryland merely to cover his return
trains, has Leen verified to the fullest ex-
tent, and they are now moving off to-
wards Stanton.
GLooMY FEELING AT II CAPITAL.
Fog some reason or other, MI. Lincoln
and all the members of his cabinet were
never in a more depressed and uneasy
state of mind han at present. Mr.. Lin
coin is said to be particularly out of sorts
upon returning from the scene of his
interview with Gen. Grant. 1t is said he
passed twelve hours without making a
joke or telling a questionable story. 1t
is certain that since the mmeneem
of the war, the military situation has
never looked SO ~unpromising, or the poll
teal so unfavorable, for the admins

LAST JOKE.

Some time siuceHowARD of New York
got up bogus proclamation, the main
points of which were the appointing of a
day of fasting and.prayer and calling for
300 900 more men. For this, Mr.. How
ARD,'under the gracious permission of the
old joke gets his boarding gratis in a
filthy bastile. Since hen LINCOLN has
done just what HowARB's proclamation
pretended to do. We have had the fast
day and the call for 5000 LINCOLN
is evidently joking Howard and only
confines him because HOWARD got the
tart of him. 1t weuld be a good thing
for the country if LINcoLN and HOWARD

it SO? To-day our country is flooded

Whereas, it was represented, by the
Federal and Ohio Executive authorize,
that there was a sufficient force in the
field, at the commencement of the cam
paign of 1864, te terminate the existing
rebellion before the close of the present
summer. This was clearly and positively
stated by our loyal Governor, JOHN
lBRoUGH, in his eloquent speech made to
the National Guards at camp Dennison
in May last !;
And whereas, the Ohio National Guards,
of $4,000 men, constituted an additional
force to accomplish the object of the
war within the time above specified and
promised;
And whereas, the President of the
United States has recently ordered a
draft of five hundred thousand more
men,-being of itself a larger army han
that marshalled by the first Napoleon for
the conquest of the Russian Empire.
Now, therefore, the undersigned, rep
~resenting all interests and feelings upon
which political parties were heretofore
based, recommend that the people assem-

Saturday, the 2oM day Of august,
at one o'clock, P. NJ, to deliberate upon
lhe question whether five hundred men,
n addition tc tho Sc at present in the mill

fields and workshops of Ashland county,
without utter ruin to all public and pri-
vate interests, and also to consider the
of making an earnest remon
