Various speculations afoat as to the de
signs of the enemy in making this raid the most
plausible, to our mind, being that it was gigan
tic scheme, originated and executed for the pur-
pose of securing and destroying the almost un-
limited stores of grain, and carrying off the
horses, cattle, etc., of the country in which it
operated, and at the same time make diversion
for the relief of Petersburg and Richmond, with
the Interior purpose of capturing the capital in
the event of it's being found defenceless by the
withdrawal of troops to other quarters. Having
become convinced of the strength of forces
they maintained bold front for few days in
order to cover the removal of their booty to
points of safety south of the river, in which they
were, no doubt, partially successful, and when
forced back they retired very much after the
fashion of men who were ashamed of their
thievery but desired to appear brave.

THE President on Monday last issued procla-
nation calling for five hundred thousand more
troops, to fill and keep up armies in the
field. In accordance with a latelaw of Congress
he allows fifty days for the country to meet its
respective quotas by volunteering, any deficien-
cy to be made up by draft for one year. Vol
unteers will be received for either one, two, or
three years. The same law gives government
bounty of 500, $780, and $500 respectively, ac-
cording to the term of enlistment. Under this
call it is presumed the army will be largely rein
forced within the next sixty days.

Democratic Majority in Both
Houses of the Indiana Legisla-
ture-The Next United States Sem


atOr.
The Indiana correspondent of the St.
Louis Westlichs Post, under date of October
10, gives the following important facts in
reference to the new Legislature of that
State:
1.-THE certainty that the Democratic par
ty has obtained a majority in both houses
of the Legislature has thrown cloud over
the Joy of the Union party, for it is now
sure that the Democrats will have ma
iority of five votes in the Senate and from
four to six votes in the House. The Gov
ernor will thus be bound hand and foot, and
must prepare for very bitter war with
the Legislature. And this time the Demo-
cratic leaders in the Legislature will curb
their opposition so much the less, as they
assert firmly that the Union party has gain
ed its victory in Indiana only by the most
fraudulent means. The originator of the
Military Bond bill, B. w. Hanna, of Terre
Haute-of all members of the last Legis-
lature most odious to the Union party-has
been reelected with eight hundred votes
majority. Vawter, another extreme op-
ponent of Morton, is selected by majority
of two. packard, the leader of the Demo-
Gratis in the last House of Representatives
will also have seat in the new one. Or
course all these men will oppose Morton
bitterly, and the meeting of the next Leg
islature is thus looked for with anxious and
feverish suspense. The election of Uni
ted States Senator will produce little diff
Guilty, and Turpin or Mcdonald, the beaten
candidates for Governor, will receive this
post. The chances are in favor of the first,
as the Democrats are somewhat dissatisfied
with Mcdonald because he fell considerably
behind the rest of the ticket. But this
would have happenened to any other one.
The chief difficulty will arise on the budget
question. Morton will, of course, ask for
the Endorsement of his extraordinary loans
to pay the interest of the State debt and
current Government expenses, and If we
may Judge from the Democratic speeches
during the campaign, the Legislature will
refuse to sanction Morton's action"
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-11-04

And let us not forget that, while gra-
ciously vouchsafing to us His protection,
our sins have merited and received griev-
Gus chastisement; that many of our best
and bravest have fallen in battle; that ma
ny others are still held in foreign prisons;
that large districts of our country have
been devastated with savage ferocity, the
peaceful homes destroyed, and helpless wo-
men and children driven away in destitu-
ton, and that, with fiendish malignity, the
passions of a servile race have been excited
by our foes to the commission of atrocities
from which death is a welcome escape.
Now, therefore, l, Jefferson Davis, Presi-
dent of the Confederate States of America,
do issue this my proclamation, setting apart
Wednesday, the 10Th day of November
next, as day to be specially devoted to
the worship Of Almighty God; and | do
invite and invoke all the people of these
Confederate States to assemble on the day
aforesaid, in their respective places of pub
lie worship, there to unite in prayer to our
Heavenly Father, that He bestow His favor
upon us; that He extend over us the pro-
lection of His almighty arm; that he sane
tify His chastisement to our improvement,
so that we turn away from evil paths and
store peace to our beloved country, healing
its bleeding wounds and securing to us the
continued enjoyment of our right of self
government and independence, and that He
graciously harken to us while we ascribe
to Him the power and glory of our deliver
ance.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
Confederate States, at Richmond, this Goth
day of October, in the year of our Lord 1854.

More Newspaper SuppressiOns.

General Lew. Wallace, since his sup
preston of The Erening Post, of Baltimore,
for publishing the Maryland Mcclellan elec-
toral ticket, has been resting upon his lau-
rels, but last Saturday he woke up to make
raid upon another newspaper, for publish
ing some information that was not to his
taste. 1t was no military news, nor yet po-
litical; but because, though true, it might
create encouragement, and thus hurt Mr..
Lincoln's chances, he pounced upon it.
Here is portion of this satrap's order:
"The Loyaltst was started by loyal men, but
you, and the corps editorial at your back,
are disloyalists. As Union paper, it OBJ
tained most OF its patronage.
'Its originators, on account of their loyal
ty,were influential enough to obtain govern
ment printing, which helped fill up the
columns of the very issue that contained
the falsehoods in question. Is it tolerable
that you should take pay from govern
ment of which you are such an unscrupu-
lous enemy? l do not think so.
'You will, therefore, from this date, dis
continue the publication of The LoyaltSt un-
til the war is over. The old conductors of
The Transcript, Bulletin, etc., may as well ac-
cept notice now that they will not be al
lowed to publish paper in Baltimore, no
matter what name or guise they assume.
Your obedient servant,
[Signedl LEW. WALLACE,
Major General Commanding.
A true copy: Oliver Matthews, Captain,
A. A. G."
The offense of The Loyalist was in stating
that call for three hundred thousand men
would be issued during the coming winter,
and that in all probability substitutes would
not be allowed. That this will be done, ii
Lincoln is reelected, there cannot be the
slightest doubt. In explaining why Gen.
Grant failed in his last great movement to
capture Richmond, the New York Times OF
yesterday gives the prominence of double
leads to the following:
1.-THE operations on the north side of the
James are of so obvious character, and
are so fully detailed in the letter of the
Times correspondent with that army, as to
need no further Interpretation. The obUious
nldrdl of the Li:e noUe is only a confirmation OF
oohdt acds the dci'tdl truth before it.aDdS made.
Grant needs reiRforce1nents, and Nth these to
an adequate extent the capture of Richmond
is a foregone conclusion.
''WILLlAM SwINToN."
If General Grant wants reinforcements
now after the recent heavy draft, how much
more will he want them when one third of
his present army leaves for home, as they
will do before the coming spring; for the
term of service of at least that number will
have expired by that time. That there will
be draft if Mr.. Lincoln is reelected can
not be gainsaid, for his policy forbids all
hope of peace.
