S'ST The New York Lvening Post, a Ieadiog Republican jouraa!, and one of the calmest, most (iignified, but firmest supporters of the govcrnmcnt, cal!s upon tho " loyal Union leagues " to bestir thcm3elves. It says: " Tiioy are said to "Qumber many huüdred thousand votei's "in tbèir secret orgatnzations ; they have "a complete system of records ; they ean "dispateh to tle field, ij they try, at least ''a huudred thousaud able bodied and "patriotiö soldiera. Let them meet in "their lodges forthwitli, tken, all over the "country, and takt thi's matter in hand.''' The Pos' is sound. The Uuiou leaucrs are ihe very men who should " to the rescue." Thoy swear by " Oíd Abe," laugh nt all his "joaks," approve liis "plans," cuidorse all his proelamations, aiid "throw'up their hats" at his reetnt announeemeut that no propositions for peace will be eutertained that o not gusratitee [o "abamloiiment ofslavery." Cotnmittcd fully to his policy, right or wrong, they should " shoulder arma," fcnd cali out come.' instead of gn. Me:i wiio lo uot bolieve the President' policy onstitutional, wise or just, but who do ëeiieve that it is dirjctly caleulatod to prolong the war, and in ihe end hring teparation, can consistently wait for the draft ; but the " loyal Union leaguers," sworn to support tho emaiicipation schemes of tho President, 6hold rejoice at a chance to volunteor, and ehould be ashamed to wait for the draft. We second the motion of the Post. - Provost-Maisual-General Fky seems to havo a facultj for iseuing all sorts of orders - law or do law - and wo would suggest to the Post that it procure oue from Lira conseriptiug the " loyal leaguors " en musse, in advance of Ibe draft, crediting them to their several loealities on account of the quotus receutly apportioned under the "500,000 mero" cali. L3 The Publishers of the N. ï. World !i as iss'ied a prospectus for " The 'Campaign World" tlie first nmber to bo ssued the first week of September, eo-ntaining the proceeiling.s of th-e Ohicago Convenlion. Dio World is nn abie advoeate of the democratiu cause and its cam.paign edition "will be a faíttiful, c 'nTtct, anvl vigorous exponent of the fenfitnents oí the gieat opposition party oí' heowitry." lts wide cireulation will bc productive of good. - Ten copies to one address, $3 ; twenty copies, $ö. Addrees, Tuk Worio, 35 t'srk Row, Nov Yrk. S3T The' New York Eeenhg Posi calis lustily upon tho " goverunifcut " to "order Gelieral McCi-kllan into active service, aud cali upon that part of tho ■ people whlch has faith in bis military ' genius and ability to follow hiru into the field." lt thiaks the danger iuirniueut, aud that even the popularity of a general disgraccd for partisan endsshould! be takeu advantage of. It further saya: "We have not ourselves had a very high opinión of Getierd McClbllan's oapauity is a oommauder of troop in active war ; but mnny who aro just as oapable of judgingr as ourstjlvcs, man;, too, who are more capal'e, (hink highly of him in that respect." The Pont cries in vain. - Lincoln, and Stanton, and Hallkck, including Zack (ÍIiandler and a fow fanatioal Senators and sniall beer politiciaus, - tho " govenimont," - wiil not permit McClkli.an to be called into sorvice, eveu to savu Washington. Sooner would they accept or offer soparation, and leave slavery to take caro of itself. Neither McClkllan nor McClkllan's friends are wanted iu the arniy - except as priíates. &3T Provost-Marshal Fbï is never conteut unless bo is raising the d - 1 somehow. His decisioüs aro cóntradictory and irreconcilable. A lato ono puts a dampor on the substitute business. After issuing an order permitting persons Hablo to draft to procure their oscmptiou for ODe, two or three yeara, by fyruishicg alien substitutes, be has novv announced, that if an alien substituto sball declaro his intentious to become a citizen the principal will again becomo liable to draft. If thia deeisioa is adhered to, men will besitate to procuro alien substitutos, deeming it rather risky toadvanoe $ö00 to 1000 Without any sceurity for being exempt any deñnite time. The Marshal bas also instructed Boards of Eurollment not to issue certificates of exemption- for substitutes- for three years, but to accept any substitute offered, enrolled or not, and directed the prinoipal's name put bauk loto the box whonever the substitute acceptcd sball becomo liable to enrollment and draft. It would ccrtainly seem that ibe Provost-Marshal does not want Ibe quotas filled without a draft. JSS We have sten it suggested that the LiNcoLx-GnEELEY-lN'iagiira-PeaceConference-" To-Whcnu-it-uiay-coucern " letter of the " governoieut '' was only a ''tub thrown ti) tlie uhale:" that is, that it was writtcn for the mdical-radieals who charge that " Oíd Abe " has paltered witb the slavery questioo, and he.8 tried barder to save sluvery than he has to save the Uu ion ; and that when he has secui eu the support and ihe votes üf these "Sinion purés " he will be ready to negotiute on any terms, even on the basis of slavery secured ba the States. We don't see it iu tbat light. - The President bas gone from bad to wovse, has forgotten Uio sacred p'.edges of bis inaugural, Iho principies laid down in his earlier messages, and bas ignored auy constitutional teroi8 of set tletiient. ïhe letter iu question niay may have beeu a bkl for radical votes, but we trast that it will lose the " gnvernment " ten for everj oao it will gain, for we can not thiuk that real Uuionlovinj, conservative men are much looger to bo befooled. If so they are bigger gudgeons than we take them for. SIST' I') another coluinn wo copy from thc N. Y. Tiibune, an artic'.e wliich pliiinly indicates that iu Editor-in ehief, Mr. Gueeley, scareely relishes tlie abrupt termination of the Niag:ira Peace conference. It does uot so much dissent from tho President's proponed basis of negotiatioiis, as it mgrets liis proposing any terms instead of leuving the assumed rebol coiumisüiotiers to offer tlieirs. It coticludca anothtir artiie on tbe subject thus: "We believe tbey might haYe beeu brougbt to set forth their terms of Peace ; aud thaf, wbcther tbese were reasonablo or otherwise, tbe Natiooal cause would thereby have been sonsibly prometed. Uut we bow to superior wisdom - ut least to the wisdom of superiors." ïbis last clause is at luist a doubtful compliment to tho Presideut an bis advisers at Washington. Djf In an official letter of Gov. Pauk Kit, of N. J., dated July 22, we find the fullöwiug paragraph, which we ommend to tle attention of ihoseof our readers wbo think quotas witliout number can be easüy tílled by semling agente to "Dixie: " " I tiiink it will be f.iund that but few recruils ean be obta;ued in tbo rebel States. Tlie New York Time of tliis morni'.ig allce.s that men can not now be haii iliere, and gives thia as the opinión of Ucuerals Guant and 8iiehman." This Ooineides with our views, and we thiuk volunteers to fili oitr quo'.a must ae looked for in otlir directiona. If there areany in our own snidflt wfeo ean 30 induced to list they should bü dealt witfc liberally, and for the balance aliena neteaol of residents of the re'bel States nuet be relied upon, L3L" Tüu population of the ity of Jaekson, au, Oliowu by the reocut enus, is 5,604.

The eity bus gaiucd in the four years 805, aiKÍ the balance of t'uü couuty decreased the same outalw, L3S" The República papers are gloating over the following paragraph, whioh they claim appoared as an editorial in the Atlanta Appeal, just prior to the recent battle befoie that city : "The greatesi battle of the war will j probably bo fouglit in the immediute i yicinity of Atlanta. Ite resulta ines tbat of tho pending Northern i Pretidential olaction. If we are victorinus the penco party ivill triumph ; Lincolo's adininistration is a failure; and peacu und Southorn independence are the immodiate rcsults. " The same Republican journal ahould publish in justa pesition the following pai íigraph : A correspondent of the Atlanta Appeal spoaking of the coming president-in] election, savs: ' The accensión of u consorvfitive deinoerat, iko Meülelian U the pvebideney, uho would eunduct ilie war upon moro humane principies, wbo wuuld repeal tho einaueipation, ptoeliimatiou, und pmbably ajaku ! tures to the South to retilrn to tho ion, with a guirintuo of all coostitulional riglits, ould do iniinitoly more to paralyze the SoutJ aud buüd up a reconstruotion party in our midst - a most fatal calarnity - than the I bined efforts of the piosent party ia power." The first paragraph reflects views whieh the editor of the Appeal has obtained from a close readjng of the Ropublican journals of thp North. He believes their representatinns of the Democratie party, and henee indulges a hope that it is an uncondiüonal "peace party." His correspondent is better inlormed, both as to the position of the Northern Democracy aud the wishes of the Southern niasses, aDd thereforo declare that the election of a " conservative Demoerat " would be l'a most fatal calamity" to the South. The correspondent is evidently riglit. The seceseionisls of the South and radicáis of the North operattd in the same interest iu 18G0, and operatèd in the same interest now - and that interest is separawn. - t3F" The State News has been hit in a tender spot, and not daring to gfvé itis readers the converja! ion with Mr. Beakes n which lijat gentleman hadcirsed Crapo, bïats about '-fulsohoods." Give your readers tho conversation Mr. News, and let thein judge for tfaenjsolvca. That certainly vvould be the most amnly courst', and vvould deteftfrine whether of no it was "garbled."

Civi! engineers report thatihe volume of w-.ter whick passes over the F lilis of Niiigara is ninety niilliojis of tons per bour. Gen. Hooker has been ordered to report at Washington without delay.

Why not cali persous as welt astbiüfi by liieir real uames ''just once?" Nebraska salt, manufacturad at the Saline Springs, fifty miles west of Nebraska City, is being produced in large qnantities. It is a very fine article and will compare favorably with any salt in the world. Mauy farmers have cured nieat with it for some years and all pronouuce it a number one artiele. The Milwaukee News observes : Lo, the poor and holy negro ! how rapid and grand bis advaueo to civilization J We have stolen him from his master; we have stripped him ; we have starved him; we have weieome his little ones to hospitable graves and now we propose to buy him and kill him ! The Commercial' special, Washington, 6ays that t ie underslood that an earnest appea) will be made to the President by ieading republioans to giv Gen. McOiellan a eommand. It in urged that enlistments lo the oumber of 100. 000 meo would be seeured in Ne tv York. The Iferald says: The administiati-on Las been doing al] within its power to kill oif McClellan for the last two years; btit with all ts efl'orts bc has been gradually winning the coufidcnce of the people. As it was with Geu. Taylor, tbey are rallyicg aroutid him on account of the abuse hcaped upon him by the party in power. 'We have been ïuvolved," says Mr. Weed, "for nearly four years io an abolitiou war," which "promises nothiug but an interminable conflict or an inglorious terininatiou." And Mr. Liücoln two days latur announces that the war shall continue to bc an abolition war if he is re-elected. Will this announecment be apt to inteusify Mr. Wced's desire that Mr. Lincoln shall be re-elected ? The tnonth of July, 18G4, will be memorable lor disustrous fires in ibis country.
