Speech or General fitzpatrick

HIS OPINION OF COPPERHEADS.
e The Newark advertiser gives the fol-
lowing report of the speech delivered by
General Fitzpatrick on taking the chair
as temporary president of the Union
State Convention at Trenton:
"Geutlemen and fellow citizens of my
native State; l truly appreciate the great
honor you have conferred ou me, an hum
BILE soldier from New Jersy, iu seleclin :
me to preside over the only loyal con.
vention that will bo called in the State
for the nomination of a candidate for
Governor. Loud and continued ap,
plauSe 1t IS scarcely necessary for me
10 say that this distinction is unexpected
and almost overwhelms me; and in ac-
cepting it | do pot intend to make any
extended remarks I should as soon think
of talking war to that great soldier, Gen.

tcians laughter and epplause]; to men
who arc not only my seniors in wisdom,
but in years, and who have made poll
tics the study of their lives. Yet | do
desire to say that | accepted an invitation
to meet with you here to day in order
that there may be no misunderstanding
as 10 how | intend to conduct myself in
the future, and to show how [ think a
soldier should conduct himself, now the
war is over, when patriotism demands
his services or influence. To show to
Union men and copperheads how a sol
dier respects the former and despises the
latter how he condemns their traitorous
acts, which have disgraced my native
State for the past four years. l am here,
feeling that am among men who never
spoke a word of disloyalty, and who never
faltered and to represent men who have
remained firm during the dark hours Of
the Union, and whO have prayed, fought
and bled for our country; led by thai
great an good man, Abraham Lincolr

number of emigrants were precipitated
headlong into the burning furnace be-
meath. 1t uas horrible to see the flames
lsaping out of this gulf. The heat was suf-
locating, and it was impossible to remain
any longer on board, The lashing which
held the raft together being burnt thro'
it parted in two, with many persons cling
ing to the planks and many underneath.
The captain, under the absolute impos-
sibility Of doing anything TO save those
still on board, and net being able to re-
main with them any longer, jumped over
board, aud, seeing two boats at great
distance, swan towards them. After
swimming for three, quarters of an hour,
together with two sailors who followed
him, they were at last perceived-by the
emigrants who steered towards them
and at risk of being capsized and drown.
cd, picked them up IN state of almost
complete exhaustion. The captain then
took command of the two boats, and i'm
mediately steered towards the ship in
order to see if, with the spars floating
about, they could make raft to save
those clinging to various objects, and
those hanging to the ship and bowsprit.
But nothing could be done. They re-
manned, however, near the burning ship
until A. NJ, when she sank, carrying
with her the rest of the poor creatures
on board The boats then steered n. n,
w. There was no water on board either
of them. One boat had no provisions,
and the other had two or three fowls, a
duck, and pig. During all this time
the sea was calm, for had the slightest
breeze arisen all must have inevitably
have perished, the boats being laden
nearly to the waters edge. The ship
wrecked party continued their way until
p. NJ, when they were seen and saved
by the steamer Lafayette. The third
boat was met by the Russian three-masted
bark Ilmari, which spoke the Lafayette
the same night. At the request of Cap,
tain Bocande, the captain of the Ilmali
transferred his shipwrecked guests to the
Lafayette.
The Mercury picked up the four boats
crew, respecting whose fate so much anx-
iety was felt on the 28th of June. The
captain of the Mercury lay to for several
days, and subsequently cruised about in
the neighborhood of the disaster, with
watches on the yards, in the hope Of res
cuing others of the shipwrecked. One
man, and subsequently one woman and
three men, we're thus picked up. Among
the forty-three rescued by the Mercury
are five women and five children, of whom
one, born on board the William Nelson,
is an infant only fourteen days old. This
infant and his sister, three years old, are
the sole survivors of a whole family on
board.

During the war, one of the most diff
cult things to learn, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, was the precise extent of
enlistments, and the number or the mill
tary force we had in the field. Secretary
Stanton has just furnished q report which
lets little light into the popular dark
ness on this subject. There were enlisted
for the army from November lst, 1868
to November 1st, 1864, 402,698 white
aud colored troops. Colored volunteers
enlisted in rebel States from January 1st,
1864, to October l4tb, of the same year,
22,143. In the same period the recruits
for the regular army were 1851. Vet
erans and re. enlisted before the expiration
of their service, between November 1st,
1868, and November 1st, 1864, l36, ,507.
Drafted and substitutes, 74,006. For
the naval service and marine corps from
February to November, 1864, 24,6S3 !;
making a total of 675, ,452. The report
says;
In estimating the number of troops
called into service, it has been the care
of the Department to take into account
the whole number of men mustered,
without regard to the fact that the same
persons may have been previously dis
charged after having been accepted and
credited on preceding calls.
A large part (near two hundred thou
sand) Of the men accepted in the years
1861 and 1862, were soon found to be
unfit for service, aud were discharged.
This accounts, partially, for the large
excess carried forward from the calls of
1862 and deducted from those of 1868.
The colored troops enlisted up to Oc-
tobar 30th, 1864, numbered 101, $50.
This branch of the service, up to that
time, lost by battle, discharges, desertious,
and diseases, 1882 men. Up to Nov.
7th, 1864, Gen. Thomas had organized
along the Mississippi river force of
56,320 colored troops.
The operations Of the draft are very
remarkable. The report is dated Nov.
25th, 1864. From July LIST, 1864, up
to that time, 10000 names were added
to the enrolment list, and 285, 1913 names
stricken off. This enrolment showed
the national force, not called out up to
November 1st, 1864, to consist of 2,784,
266 men. In the draft of 1868 the quota
drafted for was 194,952, with fifty per
cent. added. The report says;
OF this number SO, AIT failed to report,
and 164,8S7 were exempted from physi.
cal and other causes, 52.227 paid com
mutation, 26,002 furnished substitutes,
and 9, 848 were held to service.
The total deficiency drafted for was 5O,367
The number reported and examined 85,86I
The no. exempted for physical dis. 3I,446
The no. exempted for other causes l9,648
The number held to personal service 3,48
The number furnished substitutes 8.903
The number who paid Communication 32,446
On September 10Th, 1864, another
draft was had, and on the result, known
up to November lst, was as follows:
Number reported and examined 72,432
Number exempted for phsical dis. 2O,332

to say nothing of bis earlier undertakings,
or the large amounts of bonds taken by

bidder, Although other causes than i'm
perfect agencies retarded the subscription
in the summer and autumn of 1864, it
cannot be denied that their subsequent
success was chiefly from Mr.. Cookies en-.
ergetic direction. His efforts have GER
tainly been as uueeasing and his wisdom

The Oil City Register says the Pit
Hole excitement still continues. Towns
are springing up in that favored locality,
and every one seeking to invest his means
in oil land or leasef thereah One day
last week the United States Petroleum
Company sold fifteen leases at auction,
and the prices ranged from 81 900 to ST.
900 per lease just think of paying a
bonus Of this amount, besides giving to
the company one half of the oil. But
large fortunes are being made there every
hour, and the excitement is unabated =
No one, SO friend tells US, is allowed to
own any of the property in that locality
longer than fifteen minutes, so that spec
ulation has become legitimate. Mining
operations are busily carried on every
where and we think the developments of
the present season will prove the most
favorable ever before known. We. esti.
mate the daily production at about 5000
barrels. Of this, Pit Hole produces
fully 1900 barrels per day, or one third.
