The Union iia ignored, in obedience tothe
teachings of Davis; and the general gov
ernment, and its paramount claims upon
the Stites, are throataSidci to bring out
before the people for their approval, that
fruitful parent ; •irdlieord and desolation,
Sovereignties instead of States. With
moll a . Coneessien tn .- treason, there is
nothing , left to battle, fort,', with such a
platform, the man supporting it, who at
the sane time supports a war for the pre
servation of the Union, is ahypocrite and
a traitor either to his convictions or to
his country. If . South Carolina was a
Sovireignty in • the Union, who dare co• •
erce,lier, to stay or return to itt If this
doctrine be the true interpretation of the
Compact by Which the Federal 'Union was
created, then wits Itelitu'egard right in
bombarding Sumter; then was - he right
in defending. Virginia;_ and Lee's cause"
to-day is the cause of Liberty and Law.
There can be iii, middle ground. The
States_must either be subordinate or sov
ereign---if subordinate, secession is war,
and the government must repress it or
ceser to exist. If they are sovereign, se
cession'is right, if the people of a State
deSire it, and coeiciOtt is wanton, wicked
desolation. To declare therefore in recog
nitioii of the " Sovereignties of the North"
.is to declare a recognition of the right of
secession; and to vindicate everything in
the crimsoned history of, treason during
thr ( ee years of relentless war.
Convention that declared the
National Union but a fiction and a fiand, by
recognizing above its sacred landmarks the
." SovereigniieSof the North," and thatin
structs the Chicago Convention io adopt
any-sort of principles-which may be "ac
ceptable to all the States, on which we
rely inelect a President," presented Gen.
McClellan as its candidate. Whether he
is of such easy political virtue as to ap
prove the companionship in which he
finds himself, and whether he admires
the Policy of instructing him to believe
anything and everything that will win in
the next politieal campaign, time must
determine ; but of -one thing the Nation
will not be indifferent, If he accepts the
doctrine that subordinates the Federal
Union, to the caprices of petty "sover
eignties," then was he wise in ever refu
sing to deliver battle to the enemy, for to
fight in such a reuse would have been to
draw his sword in the- atrocious murder
of his countrymen..
.0119 (MITA OF TROOPS.
An official statement fro the Provost
Marshal• General,• dated the Wth instant,
giving the number of troops due from the
several States under the' various calls,
gives the total deficiency in Pennsylvania
at 74,127. Of course this is an error.
The statement' published adds that the
Credits and deficiency for this State are
'not yet computed; and we have the total
number of. troops due at some time dur
ing the fall of 1863, without the credits
to which we are . entitled for \ volunteers
since furnished the government.
The quota of our State under the late
call is 26,3(1'2 ; and from the best informa
tion we can gather in the absence of the'
official record, ;we believe that Pennsyl
vania is but little, if any, deficient on the
previous calla; We feel well assured that
if the Provost Marshal Veneral shall cor
rect the, enlistments made in the field, so
as to Secure the various districts of our
State . their just credits for veterans now
in service, the quota be ,more than
fall, excepting for the last call for 200,000
It is reasonable that the exact deficien
cies
~ , , ,can9ot be ascertained by the Provost
Marilail General for some weeks yet:—
Enlistments are going on daily in every
part of the North and in every army in
the field, and volunteers will be received
by the government until the 15th of April
next. It is absurd therefore to assume
that the draft can take place on the day
afteryolunteerinff stops, for the proper
returns, credits' and deficiencies could not
be ascertained in less than thirty days
thereafter, if' even' so soon. TJip exact
deficiency fur Pennsylvania to be supplied
by dinft cannot be accurately ascertained
befote the middle of May!'; and it is more
than probable that volunteers will still be
received and the entire quota filled in
that way. -We do' not doubt that the
troops will be furnished : quicker by vol
unteering than they could be procured
by a draft. •
It will be impossible for the several
districts to get at their exact quotas, for
some weeks to come ; but they can in
most instances be estimated with reason
able accuracy, and every effort should be
made to fill them as promptly as possible.
Gov. Curtin, we are assured, will make
special efforts to have the enlistments of
veterans in the field properly credited,
and we look for the troops in service to
contribute very largely toward filling the
new call. The citizens' of the different
townships should appoint committees to
ascertain the veterans 'they have in ser
vice; and communicate with their officers
at once relative to their re-enlistment. In
this way all mistakes as to credits can be
avoided, and our war-worn soldiers will
receive their general and local bounties,
withouit the intervention of the bounty
sharks •who swarm in the country where
,e4ver volunteethw,ia going on. • •

Lieut. Gen., Grant has assumed the I
immediate cotnmand of . 'the Army of 'the
Potomac, and its entire re-organization
is officially announced. The number of
`Army Corps is reduced from five to three;
the Ist and 3d being merged in the 2d, sth
and 6th, but in separate divisions, and
authorized to preserve their badges and
distinctive marks. Gen. Hancock com
mands the 2d ; Gen. Warren the sth
and Gen. Sedgwick the 6th, • while Gen.
Meade retains the command Of the whole
under Lieut. Gen. Grant. Thereduction
of the, corps was deemed necessary for
many reasons ; but mainly, ;we think, to
avert the evils of inordinate anibition.
With ,five corps commanders, all encour
aged by precedent to aspire to the chief
command of • the 'Army of the rotornitt'„
there has been a sad want of that unity
and fidelity which are so 'essential to
military success. - I.t, is not denied now
that corps commanders exhausted them
selves to strip Gen. Meade of his laurels so
dearly won at Gettysburg, and not less
than three in turn have directly or in
directly claimed the honor of that decisiim
victory.
-Gen. Grant will very soon be at the
head of the largest army ever thrown in
to Virginia. The strength of his force is
not disguised; nor need it be, The three
corps in the Army of the Pototime will
each be fully 40,000 strong; Burnside's
corps will be 50,000:; and to these may
be added, as immediately under Grant,
and prepared to co-operate in his grand
movement, the troops under Gen. Wal
lace inifaryland; those under Gen. Sigel
in West Virginia; those 'under General
Butler on the Peninsula, and those under
General Peck in North Carolina. The
entireforce about to.be used for capturing
the rebel, capital and driving the insur
gents out of Virginia, canny be less than
250,000 men; and doubil Ss the armies
under Generals Sherman a d McPherion
will not be idle when the y arrives for
action. They will not, o course, swell
Gen. Grant's army; but y will doubt
less see that Grant is not confronted• by
the rebel armies of Tennessee and Geor
gia, in addition to the forces of Lee.
What plan is to bepursued in the move
ment about to take place, we neither
know for care to knew.- Gen. Grant un
derstands it, and but few others will
comprehend it until it is developed. It
seems settled that he means topossess the
territory-of Virginia, if lip is in the power
of his army to do so; and few will care
whether he happens to take the route
sonic other General has heretofore advised
or not, if he only succeeds. lie is without
'a rival in power, and in the confidence
with which the Nation sustains him; and
with one accord his country Men bid him
God speed in his holy work. 1
• —The relieved corps commanders are
all assigned to duty. Gen. 'Pleasanton
- reports to Gen. Roseerans; Gen. Sykes to
Gen. Curtis ; Gen. French to report at
Philadelphia, and Gen. Newton to report
to Gen. Sherman.
THE. Great Central Fair to be held in
Philadelphia in June, for the benefit of
the Sanitary Conlin:is' sion,should enlist the
interest and co-operation of every friend
of the soldier and his sacred cause. We
feel that we cannot too - earnestly urge the
claims of this Commission upon the peo—
ple. To it the entire armies n mainly
look for that care and the s which
are indispensable to the co of the
sick and wounded; and everyphllanthro
pist should contribute liberally , to sustain
it. Its operations have been so complete
ly systematized that it can use contribu
tions to the very best end and with the .
greatest economy, while individital efforts
to aid soldiers are always expensite and
often utterly fruitless.
,The Fair to be
held in Philadelphia will be one of great
magnitude, and every man and woman
should contribute as best suits his or her
means. The farmershould send his 'flour ,
or other products of his farm ; the artizan
should send specimens of his art; the me
chanic should contribute the fruits of his
mechanical skill ; the' house-wife should
furnish of her handi : work such articles
as will be most valuable in market or ac
ceptable; to the suffering; and thus should
all make common cause to eillarge the
operations and usefulness of this great
labor of love. When this cruel war shall
be over, thousands upon thousands who
have braved the foes of the Republic, will
ever cherish in grateful remembrance
with the great achievements of war, the
no less ennobling victories of peace;ewhich
reared the standard of mercy upon"; every
sanguinary field,-and ministered to friend
and foe in the hour of sorrow and death.
THE Spirit, speaking of the Florida dis
aster, asks—" Why was Hay made a Ma
jor and then an Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral over the heads of, brave officers who
have periled their lives upon the battle
field for honorable promotion I" As Hay
was not made a Major at all, but went
simply as a 'volunteer aid, without actual
rank or pay, as he did with Gen. Hunter
at Charleston one year ago, we do not
see the force of the Spirit's indignation.
Having nothing worse, however, ,to assail
Lincoln for, it may about as welimisrep
resent Mr. Hay as any one else. •

of January, a letter from Richmond to Hon. J.
B. Hancock, of Canton, Ithniiselppi. This let
ter was captured during Gen,Shermarn's recent
:mech. The writer enters into some specula
tions on the coming military campaign, in
which occurs the following noteworthy passage:
"If we sustain ourselves, or more, if we gain
any signal advantage over the enemy soon after
the opening of the campaign, we may give the
opposition elemenfs of the North a chance to com
bine and beat Lincoln for President. Thisl
should hail as a good omen, and begin to, think
of peace at no very distant day.. I see no chance
for peace until the Republican party is beaten and
overcome."

the Governor will pay respect to our action I
