The State Militia.

We are assured, says the Pittsburg
Commercial, that the law passed at the
last session of the legislature, relative to
most respects, is defective In one vital
respect-it does not provide for enforcing
it, We understood at the time, that the
law was everything that was necessary to
give us thorough militia system; but
subsequent experience, it seems, has dem
onstrated the fatal defect.
We understand that His Excellency,
Gov Curtin, will bring the subject before
the Legislature at the extra session next
month, when it is probable the necessary
revision will 5emade. Meantime, it may
be well for the representatives To fortify
themselves with practical suggestions and
the results of such inquiry as they will be
able to make into what is wanted to give
us thorough and permanent military
system for our State.
SO far as our observation extends, no
subject has required so many attempts be-
fore anything like perfection has been
reached, as that Of the State Militia In
New York this has been the case. There,
though the Legislature has made repeated
attempts, and large sums have teen ex-
pended, we are assured that little more
than the form of an organized Militia ex-
lists. Although it serves the present pur-
pose of the Press OF that State to institute
comparisons, nevertheless, so utterly worth
less is the Militia system Of New York,
that only a few months since, when con-
spiracy was discovered to liberate the
prisoners on Johnson's Island, Gen.
Dix was unable to procure in time single
man from New Y ok, and was compelled
to call On Pennsylvania for the necessary
force, which was promptly furnished him
from Pittsburg.
Surely there are abundant reasons why
no time should be lost in perfecting our
Militia system by all the light we can OBJ
tain. Experience has shown our extreme
liability to be visited by the enemy on the
border. 1t may happen again, as it has
just happened, that we may be called
upon by the Federal Government to pro-
tect the Capital, and we know not at what
moment we may be summoned, in the
defenseless condition of that State, to go
to the assistance of New York, or, as on
former occasion, to furnish force for an
emergency within her borders, for which
she is unprepared.
We are sure the Governor of our State
is fully alive to the Importance Of the
subject. 1t is no fault of his that we have
not at this moment a perfect system
He will have performed his duty when he
has again called the attention of the legisla-
ture at the ensuing session to the highly
important question. Although the session
will be fora specific object, we presume the
emergency of the situation will be COM
plete excuse for taking it Up for the pur-
pose of taking such action as experience
has shown to be necessary and the public
defense demands
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1864-07-21

Bp- The Washington Chronicle express
ses its solemn conviction that the attack
on Washington by tle rebels will be re-
peated, and earnestly recommends that
preparation be made for them. The re-
mark viii apply as well to the States on
the border, which have been annually
overrua and despoiled. If we are again
caught unprepared, few will be disposed to
defend our State, or accord to US even
their good feeling. SO long as we are not
prepared for defense, the rebels will not
hesitate to invade our State.
Exemption from these annual vista
tions can be secured only by being pre-
pared to resist the invaders, and for the
defense of our property. We have learn
ed that we must rely on ourselves. The
changed condition under which we are
living makes it necessary for every COM
munity to be organized under military
discipline. It is the defenseless that the
rebels assail first. This has been shown
on repeated occasions, and the practice
will continue so long as we are not organ
lied and armed for our own protection.

Another Draft Grdered---500,-

RY THE FREsIpENr-A PROCLAMATION


WASHINGTON, July 18.- Whereas, BY
the act approved July 4th, 1864, entitled
An act further to regulate and provide
for the enrolling and calling out the ma
tional forces, and for other purposes, it is
provided that the President of the United
States may, at his discretion, at any time,
hereafter, call for any number of men as
volunteers for the respective terms of one,
two or three years for military service,
and that in case the quota of any part
thereof of any town, township, ward of a
city, precinct or election district, or Of a
county not so sub-divided, shall not be
filed within the space of fifty days after
such call, then the President shall lmme-
diately order draft for ore year to fill
such quota, or any part thereof which may
be untitled:
And schereos, The new enrolment here
tofore ordered is so far completed as that
the aforesaid act of Congress may now be
put in operation for recruiting and keep
ing up the strength of the armies in the
field, for garrison and such military oper-
atiohs as may be required for the purpose
of suppressing the rebellion and restoring
the authority of the United States Gov
ernment in the insurgent States; now,
therefore, l, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, do issue this my call
for five hundred thousand volunteers for
the military service; provided nevertheless
that this call shall be reduced by all cred
i.s which may be established under sec
ton 9Th of the aforesaid act, on account
of persons who have entered the naval
service during the present rebellion, and
by credits for men furnished to the mill
tary service In excess of calls heretofore
made. Volunteers will be accepted under
the call for one, two or three years,
as they may elect, and will be entitled
to the bounty provided by the law for
the period Of service for which they enlist
And [ hereby proclaim, order, and di-
rect, that imm mediately after the 5th day
of September, 1864, being fifty days from
the date of this call, draft for troops to
serve for one year shall be had in every
town, township, ward of city, precinct
or election district, or county not so
sub-divided, to fill the quota which
shall be assigned to it under this call, or
any part thereof which may be untitled by
volunteers on the said 5th day of Septem-
Der, 1864
In testimony whereof have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington, this ighteenth day
of July, 1864, and of the independence

the North, instead of helping the cause of
the rebels, will strengthen and intensity
The Union feeling here, and make Presi-
dent Lincoln's reelection as certain as the
sun rises and sets on the election day. 1t
is true that, through the Regency and
other inscriptions politicians of the North,
the rebels were enabled to bring about a
division at Charleston which led to a re-
bellion in the South Bat the stirring
events of this war have SO educated the
people at the North that, with all the as
sistance of the Regency, the peace faction,
the NeUS and other organs can give, they
cannot repeat this result. The only effect
of these schemes, If they continue, is to
bring about the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln. This is the natural result and
logical conclusion OF their course.

Gen. Grant and the Presidency

Our copperhead friends have postponed
the meeting of the Chicago Convention,
mainly for the reason that they have no
available candidate at the present time
The tail of the Mcclellan kite was too
heavy, and brought him to TIE ground,
while they are afraid Vallandigham Ben
Wood or Fernando Wood, would lot be
endorsed by the rank and file of the party
Under these circumstan ces the knowing
ones of the party hayee cast their "eviP'
eyes upon Gen. Grant, in the hope that
he will consent to become their candidate.
This forlorn hope, however, will hardly
succeed, for the Milwaukee Sentinel, a
paper liz the interest of Gen. Grant, AYERS
that it ..knows from perfectly reliable
sources that General Grant has peremptorily
refused, in advance, any offer of the Pres
idency. He replied to those who were
seeking 20 learn his views on the subject,
that while the war lasted, DO earthly IN
duccment could take him voluntarily from
his present position. And even that
should the war come to speedy close, he
would be the most ungratefu, of men to
run against Mr.. Lincoln. This information
comes to us through the most trustworthy
sources, and affords US conclusive proof
that Geu Grant has fully determined not
to enter the political arena" And those
who know him, know that he is not apt to
waver when he has made up his mind one
way or the other.

From the Johnstoacn Tribuns.1
Congressional,

We publish on our outside a detail,
report of the proceedings of the Con- ,ls0
sional convection of this district. ss'-
The meeting adjourned without efa..
ing nomination, for the reason thai
one of the delegates of Messrs. Hall M ~
Doris would give our candidate NJ M
Barker, vote. We are glad to saw tba.
although the contest was long and ann.
ted, It was conducted in the most crn13
ly spirit, and the Conference adjourneS =
the best feeling.
We have to thank the gentlemen frou
Miflin county for the warm and trna n
friendship which they have shown 70 u' uO
of Cambria, and the firmuess which tbo~
have displayed in p-eferring princinle y
mere local or personal interest Be suro
gentlemen, that your conduct will b4 10
mcmbered here. The convention Assem-
bles again in August, at which tim, W
hope Mr.. Barker will receive an pnsn; u,
nous vote.
While on this subject we may say that
our article entitled "Congressional." ppb,
lished some weeks ago, has been made
use of to show that we would not support
the nomination, if it was not given to OUT
candidate.
Our friends should understand US bet.
ter, for DO enemy will lay that fatteriag
JUNCTION to his soul. We will do what We
can for our county-it deserves the candi-
date. We viii do what we can for Mr..
Barker as our choice-and one who is
worthy of it. But in no possible contin-
gency can we vote for copperhead-or
fail to give the gentleman nominated
whoever he may be-our hearty support
For Messrs. Hall and Doris we have no
other feeling than fraternal regard, and
we merely alluded to condition of things
in the district which we deplore, and are
in no sense responsible for, when we said
that the just claims of Cambria county
could not be disreSarded, without En-
dangering the success of the cause in the
district
Again we gentlemen of Miffiin We
are indebted to you, and you may make
the obligation as much greater as you
please. From true men we are always
willing to receive favors, and your disin-
terestedness shall not prevent US sooner or
later from repaying you.

Shall Our soldiers vote /!

On the outside of to-day's paper we
print the Address of the Union State Gen.
trail Committee, touching the question as
to the right of our brave soldiers to vote.
1t constitutes a most powerful and patri-
otic appeal in behalf Of the proposed
measure, and thoroughly exposes the shall
low Inconsistency of the people of a free
State attempting to disfranchise her own
citizens who are fighting her OWE battles.
After this exhaustive review Of the sub
ject, we will not add a single word in
favor Of the measure, as a measure, be-
yond advising our readers, one and all, to
read The Address, and be guided by its
teachings.
While it is plain and incontroveItible
that our soldiers should have the right, IF
they have it not already, to vote, it is
equally apparent that the Copperheads,
for political purposes, are determined they
shall not be allowed to exercise that pecu-
liar privilege Of i freeman. Their secret
conclaves, in many parts of the State, are
already devising plans to prevent ma
iority of votes from being cast for the
amendment. They are arranging for a
quiet but concentrated Copperhead oppo-
sition. OF course they dare not come out
openly In the canyass-ttdt would insure
their failure from the outset,-but they
hope that the Union men will permit the
election to go by default, the votes which
Co2perheads will be certain to poll su1i-
cling to defeat the measure!
Therefore, let the Union men of every
district be on the alert. Let every ar
rangement be made to foil the amiable
designs of these self styled "friends of
the soldier" Arrange for full vote and
determined victory on that day. Let our
soldiers in the field know that the people
of the noble Old Keystone State are proud
TO recognize the citizenship of their SONS
and brothers, and that they will never
connive at the fraud which robs the SOL
dier of his vote!
Men of Cambria ! have you considered
this question in all its bearings? Have
you thought Of the issues involved in the
canvass? Have you determined TO vote
and cast your influence toward the enfran-
chisement of the soldier? If you have
not, you have not done your duty as
citizen, and after generations will be
ashamed of you If you hare, you are
worthy to live in free State aud be
ranked with free people.
For the guidance of our readers, we
submit the legal form of the ballots to be
used in voting for the Constitutional
Amendments, three in number. AS fol-
lows:
First Amendment.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
Second Amendnlent
FOR THE AMENDMENT.

These tickets are to be folded SO as to
enclose the words "for the amendment"
leaving outside for perasal as the ballot is
distributed to the boxes the words "first

important, and it is the duty ef every man
truly devoted to.tbe Union and the Com
mon wealth zealously to labor for their
endorsement az the ballc; box,
