The call of the President, dated December
20, 1854, reciies that on the call of July Is,
1864, for 100000 men the number was re.
duced by previous credits to 2sO, 900, and
but 100000 we're actually obtained,
and "in order to supply The sfore.
said deficiency" the President issues his
call OF December 20-not for four or FIVE
hundred thousand. but for mThree Hun
dred Thousand Both legs of Mr.. Fry's
theory are therefore knocked from under
him. The call was not for 800, 600 men,
independently of all credits. 1t was not
for four or five hundred thousand 'actual-
"" 1t was for 100000 men to ell de.
hciency on previous call of 100000, and
there Is nowhere, any hint that credits
Ior actual intervening enlistments are to
be disRllowed, till Mr.. Provost Marshal
General Fry with his arithmetieal legerde.
main appears upon the scene.
Nor does the law tolerate this theory of
n3eo number, without regard to previous
credits. The law provides for call for
volunteers; if that be not filed within
nifty days theA draft for the deficiency.
The President has no power to ordsr a
draft for the whole number expressed in the
call, if any part of the call shall have been
previously filed. The language is: -sThe
President shall Immediately order q draft
for one year to FILL such quota or any part
thereof Which may be untitled" If district
has supplied volunteers either before or
after the call, they count in filling its
quota and no jugglery of figures can
make it otherwise. The written Law stands
Under the law, it is wholly iHmsterial
when the district became entitled to cred
its. The men it has furnished the Gov
eminent are to be accounted tor by the
Government, and we venture to say not he
who drew the law, nor any legislator who
voted for it, nor any sane man who ever
read it-except Mr.. Fry-eupposed credits
for previous enlistments could be withheld
What the law contemplates is simply thai
each district shall furnish its rateable pro.
portion of men for the defense of the Re-
public-ita proportion. and no more than itE

him, for the arbitrary manner in which he
has undertaken to expound and iuterpre,
the Presidents last call for 300, 900 men.-
We quote few paragraphs which embrace
the gist of the article: .s,-
The Presidents call was for 300, 600 men
Mr.. Fry aggravated it into a call for 30o !.
600 men plus all those which different 10.

elsewhere stated, is for flour hundred or

Unbappily for the theory, the law and

The Dry Goods Trade.

...a ..... NAH AORAI ceos o.
The close of January is reached, and yet
the Spring business in dry goods Gao scarce
~ be said to have commenced. The prin-
cipal business OF the mouth has been done
during the last two weeks, and has conn
sisted chiefly of forced sales by the jobbers
at a considerable concession from cost,
while the purchases from the commission
houses and importers have been merely
nominal.
This week, the news of peace negotiations
has checked business, though without pro.
ducing any further fall in prices. The
tendency, indeed, has been rather toward
recovery of prices-a natural reaction from
the late panicky tone of the market The
commission houses appear to have come to
tn conclusion that they must moderate
their views respecting prices, and are Offer
Ing their goods at lower figures. The job
bers, however, cannot be tempted to buy
anything beyond small parcels, to provide
for the immediate demand. The mauufac-
turers of cotton fabrics are pursuing a
strictly cautious policy. The difficulty of
procuring paying prices for goods discour.
ages production, and the consequence is
that, although the receipts of cotton are in
creasing, there is no corresponding aug
mentstion of the supply of goods, and cot
ton, being thus kept down in price, is sent
abroad where it will realize relatively
higher prices than here.
The trade in wooden goods is dali, but
experiences none of the extreme depression
that prevails in the market for cotton
goods. The raw material is less subject to
fluctuations from liabilities to sudden
changes in the volume of supply; and
there being no possibility of our mills pro.
ducing more goods than are wanted for
consumption, prices are kept steady. Some
kinds OF woolens are per cent. lower than
In December but on the whole the con.
dition of the market ia quite as healthy as
could be expected under the unsettlipr aa.
pect of public affairs.
FOREIGN GooDs.-The trade in FOREIGN
goods continues very limited, owing to the
generally demoralized condition of the
market. To meet the obstacles arising
from the fluctuations in gold, the importers
are offering to sell for gold, giving the buv-
er thirty days for payment, and leaving
him the choice during that period of either
paying in gold or greenbacks at the rate on
any day he may choose. The extreme
llghtness of the supply enables the impor-
ter to maintain his prices steadily; but the
unsettled state of affairs produces general
caution among buyers.
The imports continue extremely light,
The total entered at the port during the
week is only $757, $40, against So, 925, 55I
for the same period of last year.
The following comparison shows the
receipts since the beginning of December,
when the imPortations for the Spring trade
may be presumed to commence:

THE DRAFT.

Editors Intelligencer
The quotas of Ohio county and the sew
eral Sub Districts thereof have been an
nounced. They are ascertained to be SUBJ
stantially correct, as published. The au.
thorities at Washington City desire an
additional 100000 men as a reinforcement
to the armies of the Union. Ofthis num-
Der Ohio county is required to furnish 1856
men-25l of these are to be raised by the
city, and ia by the balance of the county.
There are two ways by which this number
can be obtaiued-1st. Recruiting. End.
Draft. These are the only methods occur
ring to us that are available. 1t is for the
people to say which of these they prefer.
They have the power to fill this cali with
recruits as they have filled other calls
heretofore; or permitting this to go by de.
fault, the turning of the wheel will fill it
with drafted men or their substitutes.
Recruits can be had aud their credit Sc
cured to the benefit of this county, or of
any SuD-District, on the same, condition
that they are secured for other localities-
that condition is money. So long as other
counties are giving 5000 and $500 bounty.
recruits will not credit themselves to Ohio
county, which gives bounty of but $500.
1t is believed to be the desire of a great
majority of the people to put this thing
through in such a way as will maintain
the high position Ohio county has already
attained for iberality and patriotism. Can
this be done2 We believe it can. Let
active, faithful aud reliable men canvass
every ward ia the city, and every district
in the county.
Lists of persons enrolled in the different
SUBJ Districts can be had. Every enrolled
man will doubtless give, and many others
will be equally liberal. Some should give
more, others less, according to their several
abilities. The money thus raised Dould
constitute a fund which, with increased
appropriations made by the County Su-
visors, would enable this county to
offer handsome bounties to recruits.
The quota of this county could be more
readily filled with recruits at $500 or $500
bounty ,lthan with substitutes at $1,000 or
even $500 each-S2OOO already being
asked by substitutes in view of the proba-
BILE demand.
Would it not therefore be more econom
ical, as we'll as more creditabIe, to guard
against a draft by filling the quota with
recruits, rather than to seek personal SO
curity at increased personal expense by
forming mutual insurance companies.
One half the amount paid in by the mem.
bers of these companies would on the av-
erage be more than sufficient to enable the
Supervisors to offer such bounties as
would speedily place US beyond the reach
of draft.
Suppose these companies to prevail, the
draft will inevitably come, because their
influences is antagonistio to recruiting
$50 men in this city will be held, for whom
substitutes will be sought; the laws of
supply and demand will apply in this casef
and the Bulls will undoubtedly have the
advantage.
Cannot a meeting be called to determine
the course best to pursue for the county,
or 30 for any sub district which chooses to
take hold of the matter, OVER AGE.

mire the question of bounty or no bounty
in this county. We have no doubt as to
what The decision will be. But as there
is divided public sentiment we trust that
both sides will be represented. Those who
are opposed to bounty not lees than those
who are in favor of it have the came rights
at the meeting, and all who have anything
to say either pro or con should feel them
selves free to open their mouths and ez-
press their sentiments. 1t has been OBJ
jected in times past that such meetings
we're not representative of public seuti-
ment, and that only one side was present.
Whose fault is it if such is the case +? II
those who are opposed to bouuties will not
attend public meetings and participate in
their proceedings, they virtually acquiesce
in what is done and forego all opposition.
public meeting is the only way to get
at the sentiments Of the people, and the
Court Houseis free to all. 1t is the duty
OF every man who has any feeling in the
matter to turn out and see that justice is
done to his rights as q tax payer and a Cit
izen. The amount of money needed this
time is larger than ever before and the Su-
Pervisors of the county doubtless wish to
know that their action in regard to boun-
ties, whatever it may be, is representative
of the majority of their constituents. If a
majority of the people are not in favor OF
a bounty now is the time, at this meeting
to night, to demonstrate the fact.
We are thus explicit because we desire
to see full and fair expression of public
opinion and because we do not wish to hear
It said afterwards that whatever is done is
not representative in its character. Every
man should come to the meeting prepared
to count the cost of both sides of the ques.

IA DISCHARGED Soldier" who is known
to US as very respectable man, writes US
from Valley Grove in this county, in hot
protest against the action of the recent
West Liberty meeting favoring boun.
ty levy. he uses language we think
moro emphatic than considerable in respect
to that meeting, and also in respect to PEG.
pie who favor bounty. Our friend should
not imagine as he seems to, that "only
coPPorheads and towards" are 10 favor of a
bounty. Those two Glasses may be largely
represented among those who favor a
bounty, and doubtless are, but they are not
the majority. This world is made up of a
great variety of people who pursue great
variety of occupations, and it by no means
follows that because one man is willing to
go to war for certain amount of money
that he is any more patriotic than the one
who is willing to pay him that certain
amount. When soldering comes down to
question of money we do not see but that
they who give and they who take bounties
stand on level History and our every day
common sense teaches US that some must
60 to war and some must stay behind in
times like these as in all other war times
There is no rule or chalk line or black and
white color about the matter, whereby one
man is set apart for war and another for
peace. Occupation and all its vast con
Germs of busy life enter into and control the
of -
war. Vast numbers enter the service from
motives of gain, ambition, love of adven-
ture, and any number of additional consid-
erations, and many who remain are con-
troiled by reasons neither better nor worse
The thousands of assertions and dlsmissas
which take place during war, show that
the dross and the pure gold enter the or.
deal together. Until it comes to be known
that all business can be suspended and
very home left teuantless in time Iof war,
there is no point in saying that one man is
better or worse than another simply nv
virtue of his being in or out of
the army. Other personalities must
determine the relative merits of auy
two men. The men who take up arms
and go with their lives in their hands TO
fight for their country are worthy of all
honor, all gratitude, and more than all
the pay they get. The people do honor
them, and do feel deeply grateful to them.
Look at the magnificent charities of the
people Look how they pour out their
money-lend it to the government-give it
IN answer to every appeal from every quar-
ter. How would the war go on without
such "sinews of war?" 1t would stop at
once. 1t could never have gone on at all.
Are all the people who arethus laboring-
thus producing-thus giving, of little or
no esteem in the estimation of our ..dis.
charged soldier" frieud2 Certainly he
would not say 80. A little reflection will |
convince him that communities can not
be classified by his standard.
