The District Committee should re-
quest some able and patriotic nan 10
address the people Of each county
upon the great Importance Of employ
ing agents and raising money rs local
bounty, in order to obtain recruits in
the rebel states. One regiment is to
be organized and differed in this Dis.
trict. This is the most we can do at
home. Such men as can be named
who have proven their capacity to re-
cruit, can send us, for the district,
! 900 credits per month from the
South. If we raise one regiment and
money enough TO pay 500 for each re-
cruit in two more, the call is filled
without q single reduction for any
kind of credits. This we should aim
to do, not merely TO save ourselves
from draft, but to place the old demo-
cratic 18th upon the record, up to ev-
cry call, and if credits are in reserve,
ahead OF all calls. Our cheap plan,
and best plan is to raise in each town
ship 800 for each recruit needed. At
ter raising volunteer regiment. We
shall need 1000 recruits. Two thou
sand at $lO0 each is 100000. Were
these two thousand men to be drafted
and the commutation clause still in
force-$3O0 it would take jnst 5000, 600
or three times what it may cost if we
are early in the field with agents who
know how to EARN S6 per day in the
Southern recruiting field. There is
nothing SO crushing 10 rebeldom as to
organize the loyal white men of the
rebel states, and the willing negroes Of
the South, and turn face to face the
Oppressed against the opprossor. We
must do this or go ourselves.

War Meeting.

A meeting Of citizens Of Lancaster
and vicinity was held at the City Hall
in Lancaster, on Monday evening,
July 25th, in pursuance Of . public
call.
John S. Brasee, Esq, was called to
the Chair, and DIR. J. W. Lewis was
appointed Secretary.
Mr.. Daugherty, Chairman of the
Military Committee, stated the object
of the meeting to be to take into consid-
Grafton the Presidents call for 100000
men, and the position. and duty Of
Fairfield county in that regard. He
stated the provisions Of the law under
which the call was made, and that il
by the 9Th of September the call was
not filed by Volunteers, on that day
draft would be had from all the town
ships and cities then in arrear; and
that as the Communication or $500 clause
was repealed, all drafted men would
have to serve or find substitutes. TC
this Congressional District composed
of Ross, Pike, Pickaway, Perry, Hook
ing, and Fairfield counties, were ap
portioned 3,O4O men to be raised either
by volunteering or draft; and that thil
number was divided among the coun
The Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1863-1886, 1864-07-28
ties as follows
Making ..3,O4O


The quota of Fairfield county, 7lO, is
subject to deduction of four for ex-
cess Of men furnished by the whole
county under former calls, leaving the
number actually to be raised now FOG.
But this net quota is not to be divided
among the townships and the City of
Lancaster, pro rata, for the reason that
some of the townships are in arrears
under former calls, while three of the
Townships and the City are ahead of
former calls; and in apportioning the
men to be raised among the Townships
regard has to be had to this fact, and
all be made equal under this call as far
as that can be done. The city has q
surplus of SO men over all former calls,
and the proportion of the city under
this call being 50, gives the city sur
plus of 4 over this call. This surplus
of 4 goes as a credit on this call to the
whole county, reducing the number Of
men to be raised from 71O to 7O6.
After charging and crediting the sew
eral townships with their deficit or
surplus under former calls, the pres,
cnt call has to be filled by them as
follows:

Address of school comml.sloner White

Mr.. WHITE, State School Commits
.sioner, delivered an able address last
evening at the City Hall on the sub
iect of Common Schools. We have
never heard more interesting educa-
'tional Address, as it discussed the re-
ilation of Common Schools to the pres
,ehtstate Of the country, and the rebel
:Ii5h. Among other things the speak
ler stated that the strength of the
North lay in her general intelligence,
that our bayonets think, and that if
the Common School system had exist
ell generally in the South, the rebel
dion could not have occurred. The
main idea of the address was that re-
:publics are founded and can only live
in the intelligence and virtue of the
people, that these conditions are sup
piled by the Common School system,
and that our country is mainly in
debted to the American idea of uni
versal education for its vast wealth
rapid progress and high manhood

WE have several letters from the
Army complaining of the praises law
ished upon the National Guard, and
rediculing their dissatisfaction at being
called out and sent to the front.
Do the veteran boys i'll the Army
think the people are any less grateful
to them because they give the National
Guard due praise? There is room
for all in the hearts of the people, and
those who deserve most will receive
most.
Further, did it ever occur to them
that there were few Copper.

that where letters are written back
complaining of their treatment, they
are written by such? AS to going tc
the front, mono Of the Guards went
there only those who voted to do SO.

The numerous letters we receive from

would alone fill the paper. We are
compelled, therefore, to select those
which contain such information as we
think would be most interesting to our
readers, and leave remaining letters
unpublished. We mention thisso that
the boys may know the difficulty is
not in their letters nor in themselves,
We would suggest that short letters,
giving facts, are always acceptable to
the public and to ourselves. Will the
