Recruiting Extraordinary
The business of recruiting was extraordina
rily brisk in the city, yesterday. Out of the
fifteen recruiting oeloem now stationed here•
Capt.. Moorhead alone recruited ffPg men,
The number enlisted by the others we have
not heard. Over throe Avadred =se were not
out to camp yesterday, and another large
squad will be sent out early this morning.
These, however, lu not all belong to this die•
triet, but come from the 22d, 23.1 and 14th
districts.
It is worthy of remark that recruits can now
be =tutored in here, at the Girard Homo, and
receive the government and local bounty,
clothing, etc., and are not under the necessity
of going to larrietrorg.
A most noticeable feature of the enlistments
yesterday, was the fact that nearly all the re
cruits came from those rub districts where no
provisions have been made for paying a local
bounty. The men are determined not to wait
to be drafted, bat prefer enlisting and credit
ing themselves to some district more patriotic
than their own. The result of all this is ob
vious. When the draft doe, come, it will fall
vary heavily ripen:these derelict sub-dbitricic.
They had better be "up and doing" at once.

Henry T. Blow, of St. Louis, concluded his
speech to-day in reply to Prank Blair. It
excited general interest, and commanded the
closest attention on both sides of the Rouse.
Among other things, It reviewed Mr. Blair's
attack on Mr. Chase's policy about trade reg
ulations, and said they were no more nor less
than an attaelisldent, who had
. .
reriaed and approve 'eve resettles' of the
Treasury Department baler*, It mu put into
effect, and rebuked the polloj Of brazing the
Cabinet qaarreis of Mr. Moorman - Blair 1421 t
discussions of the House Ha gave a hiatog 4 .
certain interviews with the President en Mis
souri matters, concerning which the discussible
had arisen, and referred to Schofield the
matter, and charged that while Frank Blair
endorses and defends General Schofield now,
he and his friends had, in 1502, appointed him
(Mr. Blow,) Chairman of a committee
authorised to present the shortcomings
of Den. Schofield to the President, end pray
for his removal, and on that prayer end pre
sentation he was removed. Mr. Blair denied
that he had authorized or approved anything
of the sort, and said that In that very meeting
he had defended Gen.Enchotield. ' , Then, God
protect me from such defenders u you were
then to Gen. Schofield;' replied Mr. Blow.
De then went on to reiterate hie charges
to give names of parties who ware there, and
to say thet he would leave the question at
issue between them to the decision of Mr.
Blair's own friends. To this Mr. Blairpmfti no
reply to make. Mr. Blow (continued exposing
Mr. Blalr's (colonisation projects, and quoted
from Montgomery Blair'. Rockville speech ,
denouncing the Abolitionists, and replied to it
by saying that an Abolition party ruled the
country, that Abolitionists had the ascend
envy In the border States, and that the army
was mere intensely Abolition than either.
The speech was strong and radical through
out, end attracted very marked attention.
The radical border State men are especially
delighted with It.

Whisky took • new turn to-day, and every
body interested in it I. again on the anxious
seat. After the Conference Committee refaced,
as announced in these dispatches • day or two
ago, to reopen the question of taxing the stook
on bud, It was supposed that that prepaid
tion was finally killed. The Committee re
ported today in favor of • sliding suba of
sixty, sixty-dye and seventy cents. Thepettli
ate promptly adopted the report, but Kvi;
House • debate sprang up, that won shollailase
decided change ainu their lut vote on the
subject. It MU elated by • number of the
Commit..., that they desired to take up the
question of taxing gawk on hand, but that the
Senate portion of the Committee had pc.-
vented It on the ground that it Co., eintrarpto
rules to revive in the Conference Committee
any point already settled Wthe concurrent
vow of both houses. /The Speaker'. decision
was celled for, and be stated that while this
one twhnically woe, yet • conference awn.
mitts. could report that they would agree on
certain point, provided both hula. amended
their action on • certain other pointxtbus
making the agreement in the aooferenos dtk
pendent on • Joint agreement of the two houses
on another point which the 1.0061,•0015 coo,
mitten Itself nould not take up. The effect of
this ruling la the as of whisky tax would be
that the conference committee meld report an
agreement on • certain sliding scale of taxa
tion on whielty, provided the Elena* sadbadiats
thould severally recede from their former
notion on taxing stook on hand. Or In other
words, by • roundabout technicality, the Con
ference Committt• could revive the question
of stook on heed, and &elide to tax it if they
chow.
As Coon as this decision cleared awsq the
parliamentary difficulty, It became evident at
once that the House meant to have a now Con
(arenas Committee, and to Moist on taxing
the stook on hand ; and at peon as It could be
pressed to a vote they disagreed to the report
of the Conference and eked a net committee
by a vote of 86 to 51. The now committee
on the part of the House conalats of Messrs.
Washburn., Hasson and Dawson, and is even
stronger than the former one was for taxing
the stook on hand. To•da7L vote may be
considered al rendering certain that there
will be some tax on stook on band, probably
not so large as at first reported. Twenty to
thirty cents is now mostly talked of.
Judge Kelly made a happy reply to Mr.
Cos's amalgamation speech to-day, In the
course of a set smooch on the Freedmen's
Boma bill. AJI Mr. Cox had charged amal
gamation theories on the Adminiotration aids,
he chose to show whore the amalgamation
practice was, and for that purpose hod gone
to the tables of the COMM of 1860, now
pre
paring fsi the press. Do found there snob
contrasts as the following In the per rootage
of mixed blood to the total colored popula
tion : Louisiana, 111.10; Pommytrania, 3167;
Alabama, 77.76; Vermont,27.oB; Texia, 70.00;
Rhode Island, 26.12; death Caroßpa, 71.06;
Connecticut; 12.04; North Carolina, 71-69; New
York, 10.86; Florida, 08.99; New Jersey, 13.64;
and to show how rapidly Mr. Cost's Demo
matte allies In the South wars Improving In
their practice on the amalgamation theories,
he gave the following Germ Per rent. of
mixed blood to total slave population, as
shown by the °ensue of 1860, 7.30 per tent. of
mixed ; to total slave population, shown by
• mum of 1866, 10.41. The production of
these figures canoed quite a sonsallon.
The Judiciary Committee are against Mr.
Clay's gold bill on the ground that it la loon
pedient to 'nurture as it does with the settlad
policy of the •oeernment. The impression
despitee that a heavy taxation will still be
Galled for from thin Congreas;and that efforts
of specific basis of interests like petroleum to
escape, wtil be unavailing. Th•oxpenditeret
of the war continue at suck a rata that it is
holland the Tusasory Department will be
forced either to Insist en a stringent taxation
or allow the titaness to become irretrievably
Involved.

Pending the report of the Committee on Reso

lion. Caspar Bute, of Chicago. lie made a
very radical speech, as the representative
of the German convention which met at
Cleveland last fall. Ho said some the
Germans had gone over to the Coppefli ' cads,
but they bad 400,000 votes left, and Should
attain universal freedom throughout the
aptly* United Staten, and asked where mould
we find a better territory for forniehing to
the slaves than that which we are now con
quering!
Mr. Anderson, of Missouri, said the vita.
of John J. Crittenden hangs like a night
mare over Kentucky, pred prevents her from
expressing her true principles.
The convention was also addressed by
Messrs. Dunham, Baird, Preston end Need
ham, of Kentucky, Gen. M'Nsil, of Menasha
setts, and Kirkel and Prestorions, of Mo.
At the afternoon session the following reso
lution. were presented by the Committee on
Resolutions ' excepting the seventh, which
was offered by Mr. Kirkel. They were acted
upon singly, and afterwards made nnanimons :
lessolred Ist, That the unity of this country
with the present Republican form of govern

and the rebellion suppressed.

constitute. the strength of the rebellion, and
that we pee no hope of a permanent peace an

declaration of ladapsirdence and the Federal
Comititution are carried into practice. The
question whether slavery ill to be perpetuated
or not, is no longer exclusively a Stets but •
National one ; It Is therefore proper that the
Constitution of the United States shall be so
amended as to secure freedom to every human
being within It. jurisdiction. Such • &arse
tee of individual freedom Is as necessary In
the Constitution of the United States as that
of • Republican form of Government to to each
State.
Sd. The government has the Conetitution•l
right to command the service, of ever man,
no matter what his color or aindition,
whether bond or free; the master cannot
interfere his right between the man end the
government. We ore in favor of enlisting
and enrolling all alike.

from that source. He insisted that the spec
ulators should not prosper at the expense of
the people.
Mr. Fernando Wood still adhered to lob
former proposition to tax whisky on hand, but
as a member of the Committee •f Conference,
he was obliged to acquiesce in the decision of

was no such question in oontroverry. The
House refused—yeas S 7 against St--to agree
to the Committee of Conference on the whisky

It was fire minutes put sighto'clock and tb•
wateh was being changed when the ship
struck on a rook and went over. Orden were
immediately given to clear away the boats,
end soon the ship was headed (or shore, bat
shortly stherwards she sunk in four fathoms'

the buoy, and the paasengers were just re
marking that it was a pilot bent coming out,
when the ship struck. The boats were got out
safely, with the exeeption of No. 2, which was
