To Judges Of Election.

We are informed by Mr. PORTER, Com
missioner to receive soldiers votes, that
the 1900 votes cast by the officers and
men of the Eleventh Regiment, and by the
detachments at Fort Smelling and in this
city, were yesterday mailed to the Judges
of the several precincts to which the vo-
ters belonged. The Judges of Election in
the several precincts of the Southern Con-
gressional District, and Of the from
tier counties, where most of these
votes belong, will find the votes addressed
to them at their respective post-oAices.
The ballot envelopes, as well as the outside
envelopes enclosing the votes of each pre-
cinct, we're all securely sealed before

The Rebels Want Lincoln Elected.


The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th
inst. has long editorial on the nominees
of the Chicago Convention. After dis
cussing the platform and L1NooIN's and
MoCLELLAN's conduct of the war, it says:
"Thus, whether we look at the nomina-
ton in the light of peace or war, we prefer
LINCOLN to MCMILLAN. We can make
better terms of peace with an anti-slavery
fanatic than with an earnest Uni0nist. We
can gain more military success in war
conducted ON L1NooLN's plan, than on one
of real soldier like MCCLELLAN. The
article goes on to say that 6 con6scation
and emancipation united the South, and.
though they were terrible ordeals, they in
sured onr ultimate triumph. If recon-
struction we're possible, it would be more
probable under General MoCtrrLAN and
the Democracy than under LINCOLN and
the Republicans. Is III Sa...g4

The Peace Rumors.

Too much reliance must not be placed
on the peace rumors. The statement that
JEFF. DAVIS has written letter to JACOB
THOMPSON, at Niagara Falls, is evidently
hoax. The statement printed yesterday
in regard to a conference between the
authorities of Georgia and Gen. SHERMAN
is confirmed to some extent by an extract
from Richmond paper, which, if genuine,
possesses considerable significance. But
we are not satisfied that it ever appeared
in that paper. We fear all hopes of peace
will have to be given up while the follow
ing missive "to whom it may concern
remains unrescinded:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, July Is.
To sehom 1t may concern:
Any proposition which embraces the restora-
ton of peace, the integrity of the whole Union,
and the abandonment Of sl0rery, and ,ch;ch comes
mics at against the United States, aciR be
received and considered by the erecut;ve gorern-
ment of the United States, and will be met by
liberal terms on other substantial and cOllat-
eral points, and the bearer or bearers thereof
shall have safe conveyance both ways.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. .
1t will be seen that LINCOLN refuses to
receive any proposition that does not en-
brace "the abandonment Of sla0ery," nor
even one that does embrace that PROPOSE
ton, unless it comes from JEFF. DAVIS.
The State of Georgia cannot, through her
authorities, propose to resume her ALE
glance, because LINCOLN has said that such
a proposition must come "by and with an
authority that can control the armies now
at war against the United States" The
State of Georgia does not possess that au-
thority, and therefore she cannot make
propositions with any certainty that they
will be even received. ...f.

THE CAMPAIGN.
To the Subscribers of the Weekly
Pioneer.

We appeal to every subscriber OF the
WEEKLY PIONEER to aid us in getting adj
ditional subscribers. We should have a
club in every township in the State, and by
little work on the part of our friends,
feel confident that it can be obtained.
1t is difficult to publish large Demo-
cratic journal at the present time, and we
therefore have to appeal to the liberality
of our Democratic friends. It is our de-
sign and ambition to make the PIONEER a
paper for the Democracy Of the entire
State, which all will esteem it their inter
est and pleasure to support.
It is only by individual effort and the
action of local committees, that such cir
culation can be got up tor the fall cam
paign as there should be. Let an effort
be made, therefore, by yourself, and
clubs got up by which the paper can be
placed in the hands, not only of Demo
Gratis, but of the thousands of wavering
Republicans. '..s.1
We print below the schedule of prices
adopted by this paper for the Daily, Tri-
Weekly and Weekly editions, but we will
receive subscriptions for shorter periods
than are named, at reduced rates for
Clubs. I'"yA /
Send in your lists, and collect go cents
from each subscriber, which will entitle
him to receive the WEEKLY PIONEER for
