The Coming Draft.

We are pleased to know that the citi-
zens of many of the sub-districts in our
county are putting forth an effort for the
purpose of filling their several quotas un-
der the call for 100000 men. IF our
county is to be relieved of the coming
draft, our citizens should labor energetic
ally, unanimously, and with a determina-
ton that knows no such thing as fail.
There are many young men who can
90, and no doubt will go, and there are
also men who have families that would
willingly go for one year if the necessary
arrangements were made that would ena-
bic them to leave something with their
families for their support, during their alb
sence, Will not the patriotic people of
Butler county, without distinction of par
ty contribute literally towards a fund for
the purpose of paying local bounty to
those who can aud are willing to enter the
army
Viewing this subject from the stand
point which we occupy, it appears to us,
to be a very small matter to contribute
$25, $50 or even 500 dollars, every six
months for the purpose of filling up our
army, sustaining our government and fl
nally succeeding in putting down. treason
and rebellion Men who are able and re-
fuse to contribute Of the means with
which God has blessed them, to say the
least, are unworthy to enjoy the blessings
of civil and religious liberty. The Gov
ernment has given us fifty days to yolun-
teer and fill our quota Did any govern.
ment ever act more leniently towards its
subjects? We have heard people talk
about Despotism, usurpation &c Dosuch
individuals know whereof they speak
What act of injustice has the Govern.
mont ever porpetrated against them
Where is the Government on earth, situa.
ted as our own, struggling against treason
and rebellion, that would not put forth the
strong arm of the law and compel, if ne
cessary, her citizens to support the Gov
ernment and defend themselves against
anarchy, confusion and threatened dcstruc-
ton?
In view of all the blessings which we
enjoy under our benefcent Government
is it not our imperative duty to ourselves,
our countrymen and our God, to support,
defend and uphold by all the just and
honorable means within our power the
Government to which we owe allegiance!
Rally! then to the support and defense of
Law and Order Patriots of Butler CO.,
DO your duty! Stand up for Freedom.
Our Country CaHs! 'TIs our duty to
obey!

Volunteering.

There is quite brisk effort being made
to fill up the quotas of the several districts
by volunteering, giving local bounties.-
The people were slow to undertake the
work of recruiting again, as they had not
got quite through with adjusting the
bounty question under former drafts
This slowness was, to some extent, caused
by the acknowledged imperfections of the
bounty laws. The Governor has there
fore very properly called the attention of
the Legislature to this question: and we
trust before it adjourns they will give
the people law so just and ample, that
none will have reason to complain, and
that will enable committees to procure a
full settlement of their bounty matters,
without the prospect of future litigation.
If men gave of their means freely, and
thereby assisted in filling up the army
and at the same time, secured the exemp-
tion of their district from the draft, they
should have full justice done them, m,wheth-
er they acted from motives of patriotism,
without reference to how they would be
remunerated, or whether they had an
understanding" on the subject. At the
same time those families which have suf-
fered heavy losses by the fortunes of war,
ST ould also be protected against the hard
ships of general rule or law.
Our Legislators have been called to-
gether undersuch circumstances as sshould
enable them to forget self, and remem-
Der only their country, and the gallant
armies, which are battling in her cause
The people have right to expect of the
present extra session, the endorsement of
every measure recommended by the Gov
ernor in his patriotic message, that will
strengthen the Union army now in the
held, and give us an effective militia force
at home, upon which we can rely.

enemy in the rear, and with an honest
difference of opinion among its friends !!
1t is not strange that the Administration
was some times slow in ayowingits policy.
Difficult, however, as it was, Mr., Lincoln
was bound by his oath of Office, to assume
all the responsibilities, and to adopt pol
icy on ''the basis of the Constitution" and
thus having adopted such apolicy he has
labored faithfully to carry it out but in
this he has been greatly hindered by an
unpatriotie movement in the North, which
has done everything in its power to rem
der greater the breach, by denying that
there was any considerable Union senti-
ment in the South and by Systematically
hunting down every unconditional union
man who dare to raise his voice in behal
of the Union. Looking at the course Of
the Herald, for some time back, we can
scarcely believe it, serious in favoring a
prosecution of peace on the basis of the
Constitution. Still we are willing for the
present to consider it sincere and we
therefore call upon it to inform the pub
lie by what means it proposes to reach
this desirable object. Is it in favor of
sending commissioners to Richmond to
sue for peace; and if 50 what terms has
it to offer-a separation on reunion? Is
it in favor of Withdrawing our armies at
once, or is it in favor of allowing them to
remain until hostile climate and delays
shall have consigned them to destruction !
Be good enough to enlighten the public
on thesepoints

sympathy Of Switzerland for
tssc american Union.

WAsHNGsoN, August 8, 1S64.-The
government has been officially advised of
the meeting held at Geneva, Switzerland,
on the 9th ofJuly, " in favor of the Amer
lean Union and the measures taken by
government at Washington for the aboli-
ton of slavery, and at which an address
was adopted offering the most ardent pray
er that, inspired solely by patriotic tho't,
the States still in revolt may range them
selves forever under the star-spanged
banner of the Union The people of
Geneva, with all their wishes, forward
this moment, because thenceforth liberty
will be triumphant, without distinction of
race, at the North as well as at the South.
The Secretary ofState has responded as
follows:
10 the people of Geneva / have re-
ceived from the American Consul who
resides at Geneva, and have laid before
the President, your fcrvent, eloquent and
most fraternal address to the people ofthe
United States. BY his command [ give
you thanks in the name Of all my coun-
trymen for the timely and appropriate
words of sympathy and friendship which
you have spoken Your address adds
strength to the already strong chain which
binds the first federal republic of Ameri-
ca to the oldest and foremost federal re-.
public of Europe.
The people of Switzerland may rest
assured, whatever else may fail, that it
will not be the people of the United States
which will betray tho republican system
to foreign enemies, or surrender it to do,
nestle faction.
With ardent prayers for the preservation
of the Constitution, the freedom and the
prosperity of Switzerland, have tho
honor to remain, citizens, your most obe-
dent servant and sincere friend,

War VS.. Peace.

awe have declared our principle to be
"a vigorous prosecution of peace, instead
of vigorous prosecution of war This
conclusion we arrived at, first, because we
believe peace alike honorable to both
parties, is attainable on the basis of the
constitution. ."-Herdld.
1t is worthy of remark that while we
are informed that our neighbor is in
favor of settlement on the basis of the
constitution not word is said as to the
preservation of the Union.
Certainly all are in favor of speedy
termination of the present war on the ba-
sis oftheC Constitution; but will we not insist
on the preservation of the Union? ] he

wicked as the present, are certainly great

New YORK, August "a private dis
patch from Washington to-day, says our
news through rebel sources is all encour-
ging. The capture of Mobile is conf

front that great excitement exists among
the rebels both at Richmond and ATTAIN
ia.
New YORK, August 9-Military
men here say that Sherman will undoubt-
edly take advantage of the confusion of
the rebels, and we look for accounts of
battle at any moment. AverilPs victory
in the valley is confirmed. His loss
was very slight and he captured from
to 600 prisoners, and all the rebel artillery
This and the report from Mobile have

Constitutional Amendment.

The first amendment-the one eXtend-
ing the right of suffrage to the soldier,
has been adopted by the people of the
state, by about $1,000 majority. The
strong Coppcrhead districts however, cast
a heavy vote against it. They are of
course entitled to the gratitude of the
soldier, CD which will doubtless manifest
itself in
