plotting John Morgan in Ohio, took the oath
of allegiance under the Amnesty Proclama-
ton, and gave bail in $500 to appear atthe

RECRUITING IN DEFIANCE CoUNTY.-The
Defiance Democrat says:
In Adams township in this county, over
5000 have been raised to pay bounty TO
volunteers. The effort is TO raise $1,000, so
as to pay 500 each to theten required from
that township. The Abolitionists subscribe
nothing: one brilliant light of that party,
upon being applied to, denounced the busi-
ness as "a d-d Copperhead affair."" and
would contribute nothing.
In many of the townships In this section,
the Abolitionists act in this way, leaving
Democrats to raise recruits, I'LL quotas, and
pay the home bounties, and get pay and
thanks in being denounced as "copper"
heads, y TRAITORS and eSecessionists." The
recruiting officers themselves admit that
this Is toe much the case, and speak freely
their opinion Of such pusillanimous con-
duct. -.4 p

RESPONSIVENESS IN THE ARMY OF THE
PoToMAc.-The Washington Star says:
We hear that out of thirty thousand vet
Grams of our Army Of tie Potomac whose
terms of service expire within the next
nine months, at least twenty-five thousand
have already re-enlisted, with fair pros

fore the periods for their discharge under
their present enlistments shall arrive.
We further learn that of the six thousand
veterans of the same army who have Of late
gone home on furlough, five thousand five
i hundred have already returned to duty
their furloughs having expired. There L
no reason to doubt that the remainder will
be quite as prompt to return.
