Editorial Correspondence.

NEAR RowLANDsvlLLE, August LIST, 1864
Like some of the army correspondence.
this letter may be dated "on the march"
The most important topic. at present, in
| all quartcrs.of the county, seems to be the
| last call for 100000. In some of the Dis.
tricts spirit of determination prevails to
push matters and fill up the quota without
delay, rs languor in the business is almost
certain to result in failure. while prompt
and energetic action on the part of the cti.
zcns of any District, will result in complete
success. There are but two ways of the
matter. The first and most preferable is to
work with mutual consent toward raising
money and supplying volunteers. The sec
ond is to lie supincly and allow draft to
come upon them. Some even condescend
to doubt the ability of District to raise suf:
ficient funds to fill its quota by volunteering.
This delusion is simply absurd
There is not an ordinary working man
who, could he by some spiritual vision, see
! before hand his name being drawn from the
wheel, that would not Immediately find
means to raise SUN equal to the highest
amount subscribed by the most ahle for the
purpose Of raising q volunteer fund As to
liberality Of subscription, the remark may
| safely be made that none Of us have done
| anything to boast of in the way Of liberal
| subscription, when the importance and de-
| mand ofthe occasion are considered. There
nre no subscriptions yet offered that may not
very readily be doubled by the parties with.
out inconvenience, and must be if the ext
gencics of the case demand it. The quota
can and must be raised by volunteers and
the people must come up to the work with a
will and purpose to succeed. What signifies
the paltry snm required, when weighed
| against the wholesale loss that would ensue
| 10 property if a rebel band is permitted to
sweep over our county, through remiss-
ness in the people to give the needed and
prompt support to the army by supplying the
requisite numbers to make its onward march
| irresistible? Some men have attached their
names to subscriptions that should, and we
believe will. return in the future to plague
them, so mean and trihing are the sums-al
things else being considered.
But dropping war topics at present, and
casting about for domestic gossip, the next
theme of vital interest is the crops and their
prospects. The crops of hay are abundant
of wheat and oats middling, and the corn and
potatoes are still at the mercy of the season.
The drought has seriously injured the two
latter crops, and if it still continues they
will be almost entire failures. In this por-
ton Of the county, where hills and streams
are the rule, the corn crop promises much
better than in the more smooth and level
parts. Many fields are so injured by the dry
weather that recovery to the crop is now
hopeless.
The blackberry and apple crops were
never more abundant.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1864-08-06
From General sherman's Army.

In the battle of the Goth inst, in which
the twentieth Corps, one Division of the
Fourth Corps, and a part of the Fourteenth
Corps were engaged, the total Union loss
was. killed, and wounded and missing, 49,
ln front of the Twentieth Corps there were
put ont of fight six Thousand Rebels.
Five hundred and sixty-threc of the en-
| envy were buried by our troops, and the
Rebels were permitted to bury two hundred
and fifty of their dead. The Second Divi-
sion of the Corps repulsed seven different
assaults of the enemy, with slight loss to
themselves. This fight must have sweled
the number otdead and buried by the Rebels
to beyond three hundred.
We also captured seven stands of colors.
No official report has been received OF
the part taken i'll the battle by the Fourteenth
Corps.
In the battle of the 22d. the total loss in
killed, wounded and missing. was three
thousand five hundred, and ten pieces OF
