44,aritttian. • rl'kv F. L. ,Uaker, Editor. MARIETTA. PA : SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1864. RET66.I. OF, TUE $3OO CLAUBE.-A re port was laid before Congress on Wed nesday last, by. the President, from Pro vost Marshal General Fry, with a re commendation, approving of the sug gestions, by Mr. Stanton. Mr. Stanton says : "The recent successes that have attended our arms lead to the hope that by maintaining our military strength, and giving it such increase as the ex tended field of operations may require, an earlytermination of the war may be attained, but to accomplish this it is absolutely necessary that efficient means be taken with vigor and promptness to keep the army up in its strength, and supply the 'deficiencieS occasioned by the losses sustained in the field. To that end resort most be made to a draft —but ample experience has now shown that the peculiar exemption from ser vice frustrates the object of sthe. Enrol ment Law, by furnishing money instead of men. "An additional reason for repealing the three hundred : dollar clause is, that it is contemplated to make the draft for a comparatively short time. The bur den of military service will, therefore, be lightened, but its certainty , of furnisho iiirktroops is an absolute , essential to success." Gen. Fry, after going into detail as to how many commute and few go, says : "I invite your attention to the small proportion of solillers being ob tained under the existing law.' I see no reason to believe that the army can be materially strengthened by draft so long as the three hundred dollar clause is in force; nor do I thin,k it safe to BB FUMO that the commutation paid by drafted men will enable the Government to procure .a ,volunteer or substitute in his place. I do not think that large bounties by the United States should bo again resorted to, for raising troops. 1 recommend that the three hundred dollar Clause, aiit is linowo,be rePealed." ..01( ilar Abraham Lincnlo and Andrew Johns'on, of Tenneiiee, are the Union standard beirera' for President and Vice" President. The Baltimore Convention was like the "handle of a jugalf on one oide," The vote stood : Lincoln, 497 ; Grant, 22.' 'For Vice President : Johnson,' 200.; ,Daniel S. Dickinson, 113 ; Hamlin, 145 ; General Butler, 28 General Rosseau, 21 ; General Burn side, 2; Speaker Colfax, 6.; Holt, 2; Governor Tod, 2. Before the announce ment was made by the chair, however, all the votes were changed, which made the nomination of LINCOLN & Josixsox = Hon. Elisha Allen, who is a native of Vermont, and represented a district of Maine in Congress from 1841 to 1843, was appointed consul to the Sandwich -Islands by President Taylor. Ills term expiring, he was invited to take the post . of Chief • Justice of the Islands, which he still most worthily fills. Judge Allen is bow on a visit to his friends and relatives in New England, after a very long absence. Ifir The Richmond Enquirer gives a list of 11,130 rebel wounded who have been sent to hospitals from Lee's army, and 3,030 from Beauregard's command. This, probably covers about half the to tal losses. Add then 11,000 taken pris oners by Grant and Butler, and 4000 or 5000 killed outright, and we can approx imate to the rebel losses thus far during this memorable campaign.
