The nriift.
There arc a tow districts in our county, j
that have not yet furnished their quota of j
men under the late call of the "President.
Do these districts intend to fill their res
pective quotas by procuring volunteers? |
Ifthcy dci, it is about time that they were j
at work. One half of the extended time '
is now up, and the remainder will soon j
and'then the citizens of these de- j
linquciit districts will be aroused from j
their lethargy with the consoling and grat- |
ifying consolation, that, they knew their j
duty but did it not, and the strong arm of j
the law will compel them to do,'what they
might have done voluntarily.
Fonr-fifths of the districts in the coun
ty, have furnished their quotas, and are j
thus clear of the draft. Are the citizen' 3
of the remaining districts desirous to fill
their quotas ? Are they too poor to pay a 1
liberal local bounty? Is there in* patri
otism enough in any district in old .But I
•for county, to cause the citizens thereof
to respond to the call of the Government. |
• which they have sworn to defend against '
all enemies, whether foreign or domestic '<

political Horoscope.
! The political skies have unexpectedly
j brightened. • It is but a few days since
j an ugly split in the Union ranks was
I threatened by the over-zealous partisan
i ship of a few of the prominent leaders of
j the Union party. We will say that this
unwise and often ill-natured partisanship
j was displayed solely by the opponents of
Mr. Lincoln's re-nomination, but the un
' prejudiced reader will not gainsay the
truth of the expression that the means by
which the friends of Mr. Chase sought to
make him I'iKsident were not such as an
honorable and manly partisanship would
warrant. To say the least of it.the Pome
roy circular was not inspired by unselfish
patriotism. To irdd to the apprehensions
party disintegration create ! by the ap
| pearance of the Pomeroy circular, dark
h n'swe c thrown out concern ng the in-
I tendons of the particular friends of^Geiv.
Fremont. It was intimate I that lie was
: the first an 1 only choice of the <!e man
I Republicans, mi l that hew .itld be for
' nially n 1111:11.ited by the Nat'onalConvcn
| t.Oll of Ge:man Radicals which is called ,
' to meet at Cleveland on the l .thday of
j May next.
15ut, happily, the cloui is passing away.
\ The '"Chase movement" is practically at
jan end: 110 good sense of Mr. Chase |
j and the good nature of Mr. Lincnln com
i bined to prevent that apprehended rup
-1 tine in their personal relations which
would hive compiled Mr. Chise to retire
! from the Cabinet. Ihe Secretary ad
| dressed a letter to the President, disavow
ing r.li knowledge of the Pomeroy circu- |
j lar, but informing him that he had yiuld- j
l*ed his consent to become a candidate for
: the Presidency, and inquiring whether the
i fact of his being a candidate would bere
| garded as unfitting linn for the proper dis
! charge of his duties as Secretary of the
| Treasury. To which the President repli
{ ed in a kind note, informing Mr. Cliane
I that he knew of no reason why lie could
j not in the future as in the past administer
J the affairs of the Treasury Department.
I • his correspondence dissipated at once
all fears of a rupture between the Presi
dent and his Secretary, and assisted in re
storingthe entente cordiale between their
respective friends which had" been jcop
l ardized by the appearance of the Pom
ery circular. It was most honorable to
President and Secretary. But a fact of
' more significance affecting the relations of 1
Mr. Chase to tho Presidency remains to
[be stated. The complete failure of the ,
Ohio Legislature to indorse his claims to
i the Presidency, and the almost unanimous
j expresion in all other loyal States of ade
| sire to sec Mr. Lincoln renominated, have \
induced Mr. Chase to formally request I
| his friends not to make any diversion that j
j will tend to mar the harmony of the
I'nion party in the approaching Presiden- I
j tiul campaign. 111 other words, Mr. j
| Chase is no longora solicitor for the Pres
' idential nomination by the Baltimore Con- I
I vention, although we arc not given to j
; understand that the nomination would be 1
j declined if tendered.
Willi regard to (leneral Fremont, two
facts are n#w rendered absolutely certain,
j namely: his nomination by tho Cleveland
; Convention is not approved by the great
mass of loyal (icrnian voters, nor by the
j t iene al himself, liven if the nomina
tion we® made and accepted, the sensible
| (icriuaii Republicans would not disgrace
j their past history by throwing away their
j votes on a candidate who could not be
| elected in opposition to the nominees of
'he Halt more and Cliicngft Conventions,
and thus assist in the election of a Cop
ie litjail I emoerat. '1 he ut'er folly of
such u procec ling is, well stated by tUc

'1 hut thcic aie di.Miffected men among
; tho (terni 111 Radicals cannot lie donie I:
that they can succeed in misleading the
| great body of their political associate- is
quite another matter.
. he success of the Union party in New j
Hampshire on Tuesday last is another
sign of the good time The Nate
had always I'len Democratic prior to the tlie
tlie contest was bitter; the
candidate for tioveruor was personally
I unpopular; yet he was elected In' a ma
jority larger than his friends anticipated.
It was a glorious victory.
We have left the brightest ray upon the
political horizon to be presented last. To
j know that Mr. Chase has checked the in
i discretion of his friends is gratifying; to
be assured that Fremont and his hosts of
: German friends will not permit themselves
to be used by the Woods and Yalhmdig-
I hams of the country is cheering; to learn
' that New Hampshire is true to the Union
!is auspicious; but to learn that the War
. Democrats have agaiu in a most formal
and solemn manner declared their deter
j mination to stand by the party that stands
■ by the country is more glorious than all.
i This they have done at a large and enthu
| siastio mooting held on hint Monday even
j ing in Tammany Hull, New York. The
; meeting was called to encourage eulist
! meats in the Second Army Corps, of which
Gen. Hancock is commander. Tlie Speak
ers were, Klijah F. Purdy, James T. Hra
dy, and Generals Hancock. Meager, Yicle
i aud Schurz—all well known panics, aud
all Democrats except Schurz. A patriot
ic letter was read from Gen. Dix. Mr.
Pur3y was chairman of the meeting. —
Here is an extract from his speech:
" Partiznn as I am. and as I expect to
be, I will unite with any man who will
vindicate the cause of our country, the
preservation of the Union and the Consti
tution, and the supremacy of the laws.—
In the language of oue of our most dis- j
tinguished Sew Yorkers. I would say,
shoot down the first man who insults the
Americanflag. [Cheers.] 'lhosc who are
not with us, let us brand them as traitors.
We must take no step backward. Now is
the day, now is the hour to let a voice go
forth front old Tammany that will say to
the constituted authorities that there is but
one sentiment in the city of New York,
and that U to defend the Union or*die in
the attempt."
Aud so they all talked. General Mea
ger thus transfixed the Peace Denfocra
ey: ,
" What are the terms, he asked, on which
have jieace wnh the south.—
There were none which they could ac
cept, as long as there was asquadrouof the
enemy'in the saddle, or a battalion ol in
fantry in arms, 'llie General read from
The Jtichmond Sentinel the terms upon
wliich Cot. Lee of the Southern aim\
would grant a peace, and concluded by
saying that such terms neither their con !
science nor their interests could accept.
And who, he asked, could negotiate such
a peace. [A vo.ee —"Fernando Wood,'
and laughter.J Ves.repjie l the General,
it would be most re fie. hing to see that
apostle of peace, like a lauio of a dove, J
cooing at the gate- of Richmond. It would j
worth a flag of truce any time to see I
the scorn wi h which the rebels would 1
spurn bin.
'ihc separation, distinct and final, of
the War i elll.lcr.lts from the Peace Dem- ,
I ocrats is plainly foreshadowed in this'l am- '
j many Hall nice ing. The former will j
most certainly not vote-for M'Clellan nor j
any man who th'nks as lie does. Tl.ey j
will act w.th the great Union party of the ]
country, be represented in the Baltimore
Convention, and be recognized by it.—

'GF.N. GRANT'S POWERS.—A Washing
ton telegram of Friday says:—Lieut. Gen. j
Grant returned from the front to-day, and j
j departed almost immediately for Nash- \
ville. with plenary powers to organise the ]
I armies of the West, and South for victory.
This work lie will do upon the basis of
the truly military idea of a concentration*
of forces.
Politicians have dispersed our armies |
| hitherto. Grant and G*tit's policy will I
j gather them up from the Western boun
i dary of Texas up to the Minnesota camps,
and make them a available for smashing
blows this Spring.
The Government is fully apprized of
the great effort made by the Rebels to re
inforce their armies in the South-West
with a view to a gigantic endeavor to
drive us back to West Tennessee and
Kentucky, and to recover their.connec
,! tion with Louisiana and Texas. These
. will be fully met.
| ®«jr"A Washington correspondent writes: j
The petition of Eli Thayer and others, j
presented 011 Monday, was ii.e irrectly sta
ted to be in favor of ''the passage of a
I law confiscating the lands of the rebels
\ and distributing them among fieedmcn."
I The petition in reality asks Congress '"to
| confiscate utterly, and without reserve, the
j lands of the rebels ; and to give of the
i same, without other formality than occu - -
j pation, one hundred and sixty acres to
each private in the naval service, and to I
each man in the rank and file of the Union
army. aYnJ of the rebel army who will take ;

after remaining be open to settlement un |

TIIK KMANCII ATION PROCLAMATION
—A Was# ugti.ii correspondent writes:
••'1 he Senate e niniiitce or. military affairs j
are abou to retkirt a bill in iorsing the
I .mancipation Proclamation as a ncccs
| sarv e fur the C 0111111..11 defence, and j
! declaring i.t to have ' the force and effect
of law. anything in the laws or constitu- :
tion of any state to tho contrary notwith- '

"So far from believing that sla
very must die." says the Richmond Whig. ,
■•we have long held the opinion that it is |
the nonual and only humane relation 1

capital. \\ hen th;., war is over we shall |

for life, and wear an iron collar 11s a badge j
of inieriorityjto the African Slavery will
stab itself to death about the time the
Yankees learn to tell the truth, and no
sooner,"
Otn PRISONERS AT RICHMOND.—The I
Utica Ilerald says: '■ We learn from Lieut. ;
Kstes that the rebel authorities have re- 1
cently placed some unnecessary and very
aggrevating restrictions on* our prisoners
, coufined in Richmond. They are allowed
• to write only six lines at a time to their
friends in the North» and that but once
a week. The Lieutenant has received ]
from an imprisoned friend one of the six- j
line letters, which is not exactly in keep- I
. ing with the intention of the regulation. |
1 as the writer used the widest paper he \
could obtain,wrote in diminutive style,and ;
, abbreviated as much as possible. The re
striction is despicable, and must have been
inspired by pure malevolence. Rebel
prisoners should be similarly dealt with so
long as it remains in force."
NAMES OF OLR NEW IRON CLADS.—
The Navy Department li. s adopted the
following names for the new iron clad
double-turietted war steamers to be built
in the government navy yards : Kaluma
> coo, Passaconomy and Shackamaxon.
DESERTIONS FROM RTIE ARMY. —Pre-
' viouß to April, 1862, there was reported
; 78,454 desertions from the army being an
average of 6,230 per month, fai April,
1862, the Provost Marshal system wau
adopted, and since then the average de- j
sertions per month have been but 1,736. i
112 The total aggregrate of desertions since
ihe war broke out is 127,167 —of which j
number 36,000 were enlisted men from
York; 15,3&9 from Pennsylvania;
12,488 from Ohio; 14,555 from Illinois;
5,200 from Kentucky; 4.878 from Mis
souri; 1,943 from Tennessee ; 2,895 from
Virginia; 1,659 from the District of Co
lumbia, and smaller numbers from other
States.
NEW LOYAL PAPER IN SOUTH CARO
LINA. —A paper called the Palmetto Her-{ |
aid has just been started at Port Royal,
by S. W. Mason & Co. It is uncondi
tionally loyal, and promises to furnish a
faithful record of all news, proper for pub
lication, in the Department of the South
and among the fleets of the South Atlan
tic sqadrons. .
THE SIRI.NO CAMPAIGN. —It is stated
upon good authority that the Spring cam
paign will bo opened as early as the Ist of
April, and that it will be simu!taneous
along all points of the line. The veteians
j are now hurrying to the front from their |
furloughs, and many oi the recent recruits j
| have acquired steadiness enough to be
i trusted upon the battle field.
