CORRECT THE ENROLMENT
GALLIPoLIs, Dec q, 1864.

The Military Committee asks the
attention of Township Committees,
appointed to see to the revision of
the enrolment list, to the circular
from the Board of ENROLMENT of
this District. We have adopted the
plan of referring the appointment of
the committees to the people them
selves, believing thereby more eff
cient persons would be selected, If
any of the townships have neglected
to perform that duty, they should
proceed to it at once, that the work
of having correct data for the revi-
sion of the enrolment lists may be,
ready for the 10th OF next month
We need not urge upon the people o:
the several townships the Importance
of this work, as it is realized by all.
We simply. therefore, ask you to
prosecute the work with efficiency
and energy, that itmay be completed
and ready for the Board on the 10th
of January r. BLACK, Chair.

In addition, we captured large

quantity of stores, besides sinking
the Albemarle, Florida and Sea

twenty blockade runners. And all
this was done with comparatively

only six guns. Then We have made

The Callfor Militia.

Governor MoRTos denies the statement of the
Cincinnati Gazettes Washington correspondent,
that Governor BRoueH proposed in the confer
erence with the Secretary of War to call out the
militia for six months. that he Governor
MORROW opposed the proposition OF Gov. BRoUGH
on the ground that !, would take men out of the
State who were needed to sustain the govern
men, at the home elections Ii Is admitted by
His ExceIlency that the term of three months
was agreed on by Governors BRoUGH, YATES aud
MoRroS their council ia this city 1t appears
then that the terms Of the offer TO the Secretary
of War heretofore published agreed
upon here instead of at Washington, and in
that regard only the Gazette's correspondent was
IN error IL is hardly probable that the CORES
pendent of an influential organ Of the admins
TRITON would wilfully misrepresent the action of
its own political friends. hence it is fair to infer
that il Was at the gubernatorial conference in
tbs city that Governor BRouGH favored a call for
six months and Governor MORTON was unwilling
to assent to longer period than three months,
or hundred days, for the reason given. viz:
THAT the men might be be needed to sustain the
government at the home elections" Is il not
evident then that the party aspects of the matter
were fully discussed by the Governors at
their meeting here. and that the Gazettes CORES
pendent must have received his information as to
the individual views of those functionaries from
some one who was present? He may have been
mistaken as TO the locality of the conversation.
but it is hardly probable that he was misniormed
in regard to its character. to the opinions ex-
pressed by Governors BRorGH and Moron. And
this view Of the case is confirmed by the sdmis.
sions and statements Of Governor MORTON in his
Masonic Hall speech on Friday night last. If
language conveys any idea of mans thoughts
and intentions. that speech is an unmistakable
indication that the Governor of Indiana cares
more about his individual aggrandlzement and the
triumph of the party he represents at the home
elections. than be does for the overthrow OF the
rebellion

We publish sais morning letter from Mr.
LINCOLN. which gives his last views on the sla-
very question and kindred topics There can be
no question to its authenticity for nobody else
could write ust such letter. The President
takes the ground that il is necessary TO violate
the Constitution TO save the nation, or in other
words, be sees no remedy but to overthrow the
government in order TO preserve it, Strange rea-
sOning this He puts forth the same argument
to justify his disregard of the Constitution that
the rebels do to justify secession. They say.
that they no other way TO secure their rights
but through rebellion aud separate government,
and Mr.. LINCOLN declares that it was necessary
to trample under foot the charter of government
which holds US together a nation. 10 put down
rebellion In our own State the same rule is
being PLAYED. but Of course on little scale The
Governor of this State, because he cannot get the
State officers to unite with him in violating con-
stitutional obligations. sets up an independent
government in total disre gard of the Constitution
aud the laws. And while thus daily violating
his constitutional obligations fidelity to which IS
the only test of loyalty. he has the assurance to
call those citizens of the State ''dsloyal' who in
sist that the Constitution and laws shall be
obeved When such doctrines and practices are
approved. is it any wonder that the country is

Western Governors calling out the militia Of
OHIO. Indiana, Illinois. Iowa and Wisconsin. but
in language more decided than aud for rea-
sons more potent thar those We gave, did the
leading Republican organ of the North west de
nouuce the proposition Of Governor MoRTos and
his confederates. The speech of His EIcellency
would never have been made, or would the Sen

been for the chilling Republican atmosphere that
he inhaled on his return home. The most bitter

Upon that point We think the honors are easy. for
