This general re. enlistment is an item
of much Importance, as it not only Sc
cures the services Of soldiers who have

Extension of BOuntics.

A joint resolution has been reported
by the Military Committee in the House
and passed extending the tine for the
payment Of bount!es, TO The first of March.
The first resolution reported in the Sen
ate fixed the date at February 9Th, blu:
Mr.. Farnsworth, from the Military Com
miltee, stated in the House that the ex
tension of time TO March LIST was in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the War
Department. The unbounded iberalitv
of our Government in providing for the
soldiers called forth in her defense is
without parallel and must entille the ad-
ministration to the warmest support BY
all classes of citizens. This bill was in
tended TO specially apply TO our soldiers
now in the service who may re enlist,
and there is no doubt but what the ma
jority OF them will, by the 1st OF March,
have again enrolled themselves in the ar.
mics of the Union.

Beauties OfGetting Drunk,

N- The failure of the army Of the
Potomac to accomplish anything at its
last movement has long been a mystery
to the country, and many have called
loudly for an explanation. II is now as
certained that il resulted through the
neglect Of one of the corps commanders
to perform his part. Gen. French was
assigned an important position which
was to attack Ewells corps Immediately
and prevent his turning our flank. But
instead Of moving upon the enemy as he
was ordered he kept his men standing
still for twenty -four hours, for the sim
pie reason that he was SO drunk as to be
unable TO do or know his duty. Itseems
to us as though it would be salutarv

airy 1864. for the purpose of selecting
delegates to represent our State in the
next National Republican Convention
and also for County Convention to be

that the working Union men of every

in earnest and see that every portion o.
our county is fully and fairly represent
ed. We have no time to lose. and the
sooner we get organized on some good
permanent basis the better. Let caucus.

ter and influence who are heartily inter.
ested in the great and momentous issues
now at stake. As stated in the call the
ratio Of representation viii be one for
every township, with one for every 2t
and fraction over IL votes cost at the
las election. Leaving out the soldiers
vote and taking that of the county alone,
we are entitled TO l6 delegates 10 repre-

is highly necessary that we choose res
ponsible persons and send them forward
with proper credentials fully authorized

Presidency.

EF- From the East 10 the West the
almost unanimous voice of the people is
for Abraham Lincoln as the next Presi
dent Whether we take into account
the actions of the New Hamr shire or
Pennsylvania Conventions who have
nominated him by reclamation or the
popular demonstrations in his favor that
a e sprung up in the middle and east
ern States, all can come to but one con-
clusion that he is the peoples fayorite
IN / as such must be elected.
We know of nothing that any intelli
gent loyal patriotic man can urge agains
the re election of Abraham Lincoln.
Placed in Presidential chair at time
when our country was convulsed with
internal strife, called to exercise con-
trolling influence over those elements
from which men of longer experience,
and stronger nerve, might have trem-
bled, he has, throughout, the whole OIL
his stormy experience, manifested an in
tegrity Of purpose and frmness of prin-
ciple that must forever be the admira
ton OF his enemies, as we'll as his friends
lie has strong hold upon the feelings
and affections of the people and no man
since the days Of Washington, has been
regarded with more respect and rever-
ence.
Many other influential men, have been
spoken Of, for the position, but we think
that Honest Abe, is the peoples choice,
over any other man. His Emancipation
Proclamation. and terms of Amnesty to
the people Of the rsbsllious States are
bright and shining works IN his career,
are the first dawnings of That new life
which has now infused itself into our
national existence. Besides, Mr.. Lin.
coin, the most prominent of the candi-
dates named are Mr.. Chase and Gener-
ais Butler. Fremont and Banks. A few,
very few, have favored the nomination
Of General Grant, but he can do the
country better service, where he is and
wonld not probably accept the nomina.
tim if il was rendered him.
Thus far. Mr.. Lincoln has the inside
track, and is ahead Of all competitors.
Besides the Convention OF New Hamp-
shire and Legislature of Pennsylvania,
the Union Leaguers OF Philadelphia and
Nashville have spoken out unanimously
Tor his e-nominaiion, while lie will be
supported by such men as Secretary
Seward-Usher, Postmaster General
Eates, Blar, while the Senators from
New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Ohio. Indiana, and we may say from
our ow.: State, will be unit for him. As
for tLo Bogus Democracy. it is hard to
