and the land forces were about to make an
assault, when it was found the rebels had

Provost Marshal Longworth notified our
county authorities, IL despatch dav or
two ago, that unless recrait!pg in this county
proceeded with greater rapidity he must com
mence the draft. 1t is probable, however, he
will get over his hurry, when he hears of the
recent action of GUY supervisors, as recruit
ing had measarably stopped only to AVA,
that action. With tie help the towns now
have from the county, We have no oubt the
quotas viii be filed with great rapidity.
In reference to the action Of the Superb
sors, in sending a committee to Springfield
TO have the county re-appor:ioned, we advise
the towns not TO relax their elior;. to fill their
quotas on that account. The only result
hoped for from re- ppOrtionment is to get
part of the heavy quota Of the county sad
died on to Ottawa, which to the amazement
Of the country towns, has credits enough to
escape the draft. The general notion that
Ottawa is placed in this pleasant position by
having received large credits for men belong
ing to the country towns, We believe to be
erroneous. To test it, let any town figure
up the men it has sent, and compare the
number with its credits. and see if it has not
credit for all of them. We know of a num-
Der OF towns that have done this and to their
surprise found they had all the credits they
were entitled to. The truth is, Ottawa has
sent more men than people generally sup.
pose. During lastsummer, our boss mechan-
les can testify, their shops were emptied Of
hands; while on the street common day
labor was almost impossible to be procured.
Then it is doubtless true, also, that many
transient men were enlisted at O,tawa-men
who came here from abroad, seeking employ
ment, or, possibly opportunity to enlist. Of
course point like Ottawa would be more
likely to pick up men of this sort than count
~ towns. While, as regards men of this
sort, Ottawa may thus have been fortunate,
certainly the towns have no reason therefore
to complain OF having been robbed. Ottawa
seeks no unfair advantages, but while, with
one-seventh the population, she is paying one
fifth of the revenue Of the county, and out
of that in the neighborhood of 100000 to
help the country towns Gil their quotas, we
submit whether she is deserving of abuse.
