From every portion Of the country
there are indications that Abraham
Lincoln will be the Union standard
bearer, in the coming Presidential
campaign. 1t is almost universally
conceded that the succession, OF
right, belongs to him that he has
successfully carried on the war for
the restoration of the Union, thus far,
and should therefore be allowed to
complete the work in which he is en-
gagged. Ho has been unanimously re-
nominated by the Unionists of New
Hampshire. Pennsylvania has endors-
ed him and sent delegation to Wash
ington, to communicate their views to
the President.
A resolution is pending before the
Kansas Legislature, recommending
the denomination of Mr.. Lincoln. The
resolution will no doubt be adopted
A resolution has been introduced into
the Legislature Of Wisconsin, for a
vigorous prosecution of the war, and
against any armistice or compromise
with the rebels, recognizing but two
parties, patriots and traitors, and en-
dorsing Abraham Lincoln as the choice
of the people for the next President
The Legislature of California says by
recent vote in that body that the
people "still look to Abraham Lincoln,
as the instrument selected by Provi-
dence to lead their country in safety
through all its perils, and restore il
again to place in which no element
of discord shall be found, and that we
do most heartily favor his reelection
Resolutions to the same effect are be.
fore the Legislature our own State.
In the Maryland House Of Delegates
his Administration is endorsed, and
his reelection enthusiastically favored
| Political journals, in various parts
are hosting his name and vigorousl,
advocating his claims.
1t has been proposed to hold the
National Convention at Chicago, Ju
Iy 4th, 1854, but the official call has
not yet been issued.

Convention fer Lincoln.
CoxooRD, N. H., Jan. 6.
The Republican State Convention met
here to-day.
The Hon. W. W. Tappan was chosen
President.
Gov. Gilmore was renominated by &C.
clamation.
The Convention lie large and the pro
ceedings are harmonious.
The New Hampshire Republican State
Convention to-day adopted series of re.
solutions sustaining the Administration
urging vigorous prosecution Of the war,
expressing confidence in the integrity and
financial fidelity of Secretary Chase, and
recognizing patriots and traitors as the
only two parties. The following was also
adopted
Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln by
the exercise, during the severest trials
and most dangerous crisis in the nations
history, of unequaled sagacity and states
manship, Of moderation and prudence
which experience has shown to be the
highest wisdom, by his spotless integrity
OF personal character, above reproach, and
above suspicion; and by his slowly formed
yet unalterable determination that the
triumph of the Constitution and the Union
over secession and treason shall be the
final triumph of liberty throughout the
nation, has received and merited the abb.
ding confidence of the people to an extent
never awarded to any other public man
since Washington but the best interests
of the country demand that the complete
destruction OF the rebellion, and the res
toration of peace, prosperity and the
Union should be achieved under his ad-
ministration of the Government; and
that we, therefore, declare Abraham Lin
coin TO be the peoples choice for re-elec-'
tlou to the Presidency in 1864.
The resolution was carried with thun-
ders of applause, the delegates rising to
their feet and waving their hats with the
widest enthusiasm.

Great inconvenience has been felt at 4bfee
Headquarters, in having these papers brought by
officers and enlisted men for the final order OF
discharge, and they will not be attended to N fu-
ture, unless forwarded through the proper chan
nels.
II. The attention of Regimental and Company
Commanders is called TO General Orders No. 81,

COmmandants of those Regiments whose terms

Adjutant General, e. 5. A, in due time to hfve
reply, before the Regiment leaves the Btpart-
ment, in order to facilitate the muster-out OF the
Regiments on the arrival in the respective States
to which they belong. After the arrival d Vol
unteers in the State as well as during their
transit thereto it is the duty of the commissioned
officers to look closely after the comfort and In
terests Of the enlisted men, in all respects, and to
remain constantly with them, so as to have them
under control. Officers who are negleelfal IN
this respect, will be reported to the War rtkpart-
ment and prompt measures will be taken to
punish the gailty parties.epg 1, -

Gently re-enlisted for three years, and recruits
whose terms of service have not expired, and
who are therefore not entitled to discharge, are

purpose of muster-out and discharge. This indi-
Gates great neglect on the part Of subordinate OIL
Gers, particularly Regimental and Company Com
manders and must at once be stopped. The
Commissary of Musters Of this Department, win
see that Circular No. 30, from the War Depart-

THE SCHOOL FOR IDLERs.
BY SIMON PURE.

The School for Idlers is suddenly
"played out" I have arrived at the end
of the Records. Bro. Penn, whose letters
have enlightened the wondering commu-
nifty upon the subject of sea voyages tow
ards the sunny Sodth, cameto an untime-
ly end. He arrived at Port Royal and
landed without a proper pass, "a change
of Post Commandants having just taken
place, and as he was taking notes on one
of the principal streets, was arrested as a
spy, and sent North on the return of the
"Diogene's Tub" So chagrined was he,
that he did not report to the School, and
was expelled by themembers. He had
many friends in the School, who at once
took offence at so summary proceeding,
and voted themselves no longer Idlers.
A new draft taking place at this time,
swept what remained of the institution
into the ranks of the disabled, &c. The
President, willing to stand bis chance,
refused to commute, but was rejected on
account of not being able, to masticate
"hard tack" satisfactorily; several trials
were made, but the venerable man was
obliged to stife his patriotism. Several
members of the School Immediately re-
membered that they were British subjects
and adopted a foreign accent in their
speech, few had pressing business In
Canada, and only one, unable to pay
the Communication fee or procure a substi-
tute, went willingly into the ranks OF the
Union army, and is now serving the coun-
try gallantly, in one of those fine little
offices at the Provost Marshal's. This
is all have to relate of the final termina-
ton of the School. A dozen pages fol-
lowing the regular Records are taken up
with Brother Shorthand's essays on Pho
biography, which are too dull TO be re-
peated here. The final thing is short
poem, which, the marginal notes say,
Bro. Penn picked up in Restaurant at
Port Royal. See if you like it:
.aaF HAM AND EGGS.
The latter portion Of swine,
The produce Of hen,
Combined and cooked with proper care,
VIII please the most OF men.
John Bull may eat his fill OF beet
And Pat his mutton legs,
But all eat from week to week
Is simply ham and eggs
Perhaps it isn't just my choice,
But down here where board,
We get the best Of ham and eggs
The country can afford,
So, quite contented, every day,
i stir my lusy pegs ."
For fear some interlopefm get
Ny share Of ham and eggs.
The other day we had change,
Some thought 1t rather good
To leave their wonted ham and eggs
For any other food;
So submitted to the risk
As meekly as lamb,
And when we took the cover Oh,
Twas simply eggs and ham.
How much of these I've taken In,
I'm sure hardly know,
But every morning now feel
Inclined to grunt and crow.
I've drank the cup Of pleasure dry.
And sucked its very dregs,
But oh! fear there's ne'er an end
To Jones's ham and eggs.
