WEEKLY SENTINEL. MONDAY, OCT. 19. Another Call for Troop. The President baa iued a call for 300,000 Toluntecrs lor the war, "not, however, exceeding three Tears." It seems ".o be the opinion of Mr. Li.xcol! that the war will be terminated by that time. The States hare until the 5th of January next to nise the quotas required of them, when drafting will be reported to, to uppN deficiencies. Before the recent elections it was announced that there was no intention of drafting, but we suppose military necessities have arisen which demand this renewed call upon the patriotism of tue -country. The President addresses himself not only to the Governors ot the several States, but also to the good and loyal people thereof, inTokiri2 them to lend their cheerful and effective aid to the measure thus adopted, with a view to reinforce our victorious armies in the field and bring our military operations to a prosperous close." The "loyal people" should not hesitate a moment in responding to this urgent appeal of the President. GaEELKT, and Scmxeb., and Garrison pledged nine hundred thousand men from New England if the Pre.ident would issue an emancipation proclamation, and the least they csu do now is to make one installment of three hundred thonsand, and we have no doubt the Commander-in-Chief would compromise with the Yankee Abolitionists at thirty three and a third cents up on the dollar. But if this recourse foils, it can -not be questioned but the radical and jubilant Republicans of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana who claim all the loyalty, all the oioralty and all the decency of the country, and overwhelming majorities in all theie States, will cheerfully and promptly respond to the call of the President and gave the necessity of a draft. Surely these men will not let down their patriotism when they have so good an opportunity to practilally illustrate it. Highly- Important. Some important movements are taking place upon the military chess board, which for strategic reasons or some others we are requested to withhold from the public. We should not be surprised if somebody, before many days, was superseded by an officer who will move upon the enemy's works. In this connection we may add that there is unusual vigor and activity being displayed in the War Department. The approach of Lkk toward Washington makes the Government feel quite uneasy for its personal safety hence the neces sity for a new deal and vigor in the conduct of the war. We were forbidden to notice that General Hooker with a large n imber of soldiers were moving to reinforce Rosixraxs, the object of which was to withhold so important information from the rebels, but Hooke bad hardly started upon his journey when the intelligence was published in Richmond. The movement now on foot is probably being discussed in the rebel capital, and if it is not, its publication to the world, in all probability, would not make a feather's weight one way or the other, but some very distinguished people entertain the idea that very mysterious airs are closely allied with greatness. The war news. The telegraphic news this morning Is not of an encouraging character. The Army of the Putomac has retrcnted, Lee offering battle on the old Bull Run battle prouhd, which Meads declined to acccrt, and Rosecraxs for the present "must remain on the defensive." Iiis gratifying to be informed, however, that Mkads bis thus far completely out generated Lit, which means, we suppose, that the former was successful in keeping out of the way ot the latter. We have also been informed time and again through government channels that Lee's army had been very much reduced by reinforcing Bragg, and an intelligent barber of African descent, a refugee, gave the most positive assurance to General Halleck that Richmond was uncoveredand all that was necessary to capture it was fot our army to move upon it, but now we are advised that Lee's army has not been depleted to reinforce Bragg." The whole effort of the telegraph seems to be to humbug the people, and "Barkis is willing." The election are over. The Republicans claim a triumph which they regard of greater consequence to their cause, preferring, they said, the annihilation of the armies of the Potomac and Cumberland to defeat, yet the rebels fight on with just as much determination and vigor as if no election had been held. .floral Effect of the Election. - The terms "traitor." "treason," and "rebel sympathizers" are freely applied by the apologists of the Administration to the Democracy. Tbey recard ail as disloyal who do not agree with the views of the party in power. In this State, accepting the admissions of the Republican organs, fully one half of the voters deposited their ballots against the candidates of the Republican party, at the election on Tuesday last. In Ohio from one hundred and eighty to two hundred thousand votes were cast tor the Democratic candicates. It Pennsjlvsnia some two hundred snd twenty thousand voted for the Democratic nominees. In these three Stetes there are over half a million of citizens the Republican papers term rebels. Mr. Chass said the recent elections would bave a powerful moral influence in favor of the Government, but we fail to see that seen' will be the ef feet when the organs of the Administration denounce about one half of 'the people of the loyal Stales as "traitors" and "rebel sympathizers." " Tlecde'e Array- ltt-portecl to ho In the Defenses of Washington. The New York reporter of the Associated Press sends as the following Important intelli gence: It is reported that Genera Meade's army is within the defenses of Washington. There haa been no battle, snd the exact position of Lee's army is unascertained, or at least is not known in this city It appe irs certain, however, that Lee has aot crossed the Potomac.

The Election In Indiana We have received sufficient returns from different counties to assure our friends th it the Democracy maintain their ascendancy in this State by a majority fully as large as that of last fall The elections in Indiana were for county officers only, h.'nce there is a difficulty in ascertaining an exact majority. In some counties where the Democratic majorities are large, the elections went by default, and in some Republican counties the Democrats made no opposition, because their votes would not affect the general result, as in-a State or Presidential election. A careful review of the returns, however, leaves no room to doubt that a majority of the people of Indiana are Democrats, faithful to their principles and true to their country. Indiana has ever been recognized as a conservative State, and the recent election vindicates her claim to that position. And K Democratic last year and this, nowithtanding the cor rupting influences of official patronage and the strong hand of power, she can be relied upon in the future as a Democratic State. Ina few days we shall be able to give a statement of the vote in each Congressional district. We understand that in the First district the Republicans elect only one county officer and that one by the weakness of the Democratic candidate, not by their own strength. Last year the Republicans carried several counties in that district, but now tbey are ail Democratic. And iu every county in the State where the Democrats made a contest with candidates unobjectionable, personally or otherwise, their vote fully equals that of a year ago. Again, we say that the recent election proves Indiana to be a sound Democratic State and there she will alaavs be found.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Election Duty of Democrats. It is now certain that John Brough has received a considerable majority of the votes of the people of Ohio within the State, and is elected; that Mr. Vallaudigham, with the largest vote in his favor of any defeated candidate for Governor in our political history, has failed to receive a majority. This result, to those who have given close attention to the indications, is what has been anticipated; and, although it is a result which we repret, it is not one, so far as it has been fairly achieved, of which we have any riht to complain. The people are the party interested, and if the people wnt John Brought for their Governor, tiie principles which he represents to j be those upon which the state Government is to be conducted, and the national policy which he advocates to be continued and applied to them selves, they have a right to be gratified. We hope the people have had better reasons for voting for Mr. Brough than we have been able to discover better reasons than have been nrgued bv the organs of the party in power to influence their suffrages; that they have been impelled by neither fear, nor bt facaticiim, nor by party or personal interest; that they have gone to the polls, not as slaves, nor as hucksters, nor as madmen, nor as party jtnizirics, but as freemen, faithful to their convictions, and, if wrong, only wrong in being honestly mistaken. We hope, furthermore, that thev will not be disappointed in the administration of the man whom they have elected; that their Governor will be more faithful in practice than he has been in doctrine consistent; and that the responsibili ties of official life will lead him to a knowledge of facts in our condition as a State, which, as a candidate, he has seemed untble to comprehend. The vote which Mr. Vallandigham has received, given under such circumstances of discouragement, will teach him and his advisers that there is a numerous, united, faithful and resolute minority in Ohio a minority too large to be overlooked in respect to its influence, too firmly united to be safely treated with contempt, and too powerful to admit the attempt to outlaw it as made up of criminals, to be of any avail. . The election of Mr. Brough if we are to judge by its antecedents puts the government of Ohio iu the hands of the Administration at Washington. To prepare the way for this is the sum and essence of the doctrines urged by that gentleman and his collaborators, pending the election. The State as a body corporate and politic, endowed with some of the attributes of independence, must either disappear (beingmerged in the paramount sovereignty exercised by Mr. Lincoln iu the name of the nation) or Mr. Brough the Governor sworn to t import the State Constitution, must become a very different thing from Mr. Brough the candidate ot a party which only recognized State existence in fact, to condemn it as a thing illegitimate and foreign to the true theory of our institutions. We have the right to assume that Mr. Brough the Governor will be the legitimate successor of Mr. Brough the candidate; that his administra tion will exemplify the political dogmas to which he has willingly committed himself; that his oath to support the State Constitution will be construed according to the latest party revelation. We may therefore bid we hope but temporarily adieu to the State of Ohio. From this time forth the "StUeof Ohio" will be only territorial, not a political designation. The power which the State of Onio once had to protect its citizens, has some time since disappeared. In electing Mr Brough, the people have sanctioned this act of dismantle metit. This gone, there is little remaining for which to contend; and the choice of a man who publicly told the people, in order to gain their support, that if they did not elect him willingly, force would interpose to put h'ra in the place to which he aspired, seems to remove all the obstacle? which stood in the way of the work of State annihilation. To elect a man who threatened to tie a dictator in case he was nut elected, U to elect a dictator. We will not here stop to mourn over the close of the political history of the State of Ohio, nor predict evil to the people because they have permitted the revolution which has extinguished it as a political entity to aucceed. We will rather look for, its resurrection in due time; for we feel that a people who once enjoyed the benefit ot legal guarantees to their rights and liberties will not long do without them The form of the elective franchise still remains sole relic of constitutional freedom; and. this remaining, the substance may at some time reattach, and the people become as willing to restore as they are now to demolish. There being no State of Ohio, Mr. Brough is only a titular Governor of the State. He attains by his election nothing but a place, to which the President might hive appointed hi in. How much satisfaction this reflection will give him will depend upon his relish for a title which is, in fact, a misnomer. He will write Governor after his name, and act as an agent of the powers that be at Washington. As his predecessor did not, so he will not be required to see the people of the District of Ohio; and we have the right to look upon him as simply a relic accidently left of a state of things that has passed away. To the members of the Democratic party we have only to say that they have done their duty. For the result they are not responsible. Chagrin over a party defeat is unmanly, as in exultation over a party victory. All the loss that a partv sustains in failing to achieve power and ofhee is nothing, and we have no ters to shed over de feated candidates. Had Mr. Vallandigham been elected, it would have given as pleasure, because it would htveseemel to us not only an act of justice to an individual, but the assertion of an important riL'ht by the people But Mr. Vallandigham will be none the less Mr. Vallandigham because he is not elected; nor rights cease to be rights because they are not permitted for a time in abeyance, lime will, at length, make all things even; and because w are unable to see it now, does Dot prove that even these adverse events may not. in the end, appear to be things that were needed to more fully prepare the way for a more desirable consumatioo. It is not proper to be discouraged. Indeed, there is no room for discouragement. We cn not avoid the risk iu which is placed all that is politically desirable. The greater the danirer, the greater the demand for constancy. The stake is our whole estate, and the game must be played. In the election of Mr. Brongh, we have a virtual promise that civil war will not, for the present, be brought upon us by the Government; that there will be no immediate forcible seizure of a people ' who:e legal defenses have been demolished. We shall still be permitted to think, and perhaps to communicate our thoughts one to another; and such power and virtue as there is in opinion may. in time, produce that general popular action winch is necessary to re trace without danger or convnlsion the wrong path which we as a people are pursuing t3fTbe total killed in the several divisions of the 20th army corps, of the Army of the Cumber land, is reported to be 131, but maiy have died of their wounds since the official report.

From Washington

Disasters to the Abut or the Totomac Gex. Lek's Abmt Still 84,000 Strong Psor.Rtss or tbk Fall Campaign East axi Wsst The Qcestiox or Peace in the Cabinet. 1 Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times. Washington, October 12. "Hie sudden rise of gold in New York took mat jr persons by surprise. It was attributed by most persons to secret news of an unfavorable character from the army in the West. The New York Post of that evening attributed it to the export of two millions of gold during the last few days. But neither of these explanations was the true one. The true one was, the defeit and re pul-e of Meade's army on the Rappahannock, and the reported retreat of that army to Centreville, pursued by the Confederate army under General Lee. Intelligence of these events was secretly telegraphed from here to New York betweeu eight and ten o'clock on Saturday morning, with what result the country knows. Your well informed correspondent w ith the Army of the Petomac will send jou the details of the facts as tbey occurred. I will only state that it is understood here that on Friday a body of about 4.0U0 Union cavalry were sent out from their camp west of Cedar Mountain to make a reconnoissance towards Madison Court House; that they were met while on the way, by a superior force of Confederate cavalry, and, after a sharp fight, compelled to fall back upon the army corps which was holding a post near Culpepper. It w supposed that the enemy would not press the pursuit, but they did so. The Confederate cavalry were followed by several batteries of artillery and by a strong infantry force; and, between this force and our troop near Culpepper, e bailie ensued, the result of which was, according to the accounts that have reached here, that our forces at Culpepper in other words, the remnant of Meade's army were compelled to retreat from that place towards Centreville. This result affords another example of the manner in which Lincoln and Stanton are managing the war. . It is no longer a secret to the world that two whole corps of Meade's army were withdrawn from him a week or two ago, and sent to the West. Even if his corps were Mch 10,000 strong and every one knows that it is a liberal estimate this would leave him only 50, (KR) men in his other five corps, ber-Mes the cavalry. The least degree of military judgment, therefore, would have dictated the imrueaiite withOr twl of Me ides depleted army to it line much nearer this city. But who looks for military judgment in either Lincoln, Stanton or Hillecki The little army, therefore, was kept pu-hed out to Culjiepper. with a long line of railroad to guard, and behold the result? Mr. Lincoln's apologists say in his defence that he believed that the bulk of Lee's army had been gent to the West to reinforce Brairg. It is true that a number of reliable contrabands did bring into our lines a storv to the effect that all of Lee's army, except, the single corps of A. P. Hill, had been sent to reinforce Bragg; and it is true that Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Stanton, too, did believe it. But the truth is. only four divisions, out of Gen. Lee's whole army, have been sent to rein force Bragg. Two of Longstreet's divisions and two of Ewell's are now with Bragg. But the divisions of Gen. Lee's armv are each 10,(10(1 strong, and his army was 125,000 strong jurt be ore the battles of Chickamau:a were fought. He has now, therefore, 84,000 troops, including bis splendid cavalry and all his artillery. What he may dare to do with this vast body of veteran soldiers, a lew days will decide. The situation of affairs here, he is perfectly acquainted with. The irrepressible Mosby has taken care of that. On Thursday and Frida v of l ist week, Moshy and his band of l.KH) guerrillas reconnoitered the whole country in front of Washington, in the neighborhood of Centreville and Fairfax, from the Chain Bridge and Lew insville to Springfield Station on the railroad: and. on Friday night, they visited Munson's Hill, Fall's Church, and Bailey's Crss Roads, thus coming within seven miles of Washington! Gen. Lee is well served, indeed, in all directions. During Schenck s absence in Ohio, he has left matters at Harper's Ferry to take care of themselves. Gen. Imboden, who commands some 3,000 mounted guerrillas, became quickly aware of that, and has, within a few days, advanced from his camp neur Winchester to a point between Harper's Ferry and Mrtiuburg. Here, on two separate days, he encountered and defeated two separate regiments of Union troops, with heavy loss on our side. From the prisoners whom be took on these occasions, and ftom bis previous 6couis along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Imboden learned all that he desired to know about the recent movements of Union troops westward. There Is reason to believe, however, that whatever movements of E astern troops were made towards the West were made too, late to be available It is known that immediately after the battle of Chicks m-iuga. General Bragg and General Johnston were strengthened by 20,000 more troop from Gen. Lee's armv, be-ides those already there under Liigtieet; by 10,000 troops drawn from those who had been stat'oned along the railroad between Richmond and Wilmington; by 10.000 itom Charleston, and by 10.000 from poinis west of the Mississippi. It is well known that Johnston m.d Urne had fully 90,000 troops in the recent battles, while the three corps of Thomas, McCook and Crittenden could not have numbered over 60.000. The Administration papers here are boasting that, since the battles, Kosecrans' strength hs been reinforced by 25,000 men. Admit it. and that it will raise Rose crana' strength to 70,000 men, is it tobe expected that he can hold his ground against a Con fed ernte force that must be, as I have shown, 130,000 strong? ' From all that can be learned here, it ia evident 'that it is the intent bn of (ten Johnston to invest Chattanooga on all sides and besiege that place in regulnr form. It is, unfortunately, completely commanded br Lookout Mountain and Mission ary Ridge, and upon these bights General Bragg is now mounting heavy siege guns, nearly a huudred of which have been tent to bim from the foundries at Alanta. If the Confederate designs in the West sue ceed if the army of Rosecrans is defeated, or even compelled to retreat to Nashville (hen the probability is that there will be lively times in the neighborhood of this city. Perhaps, when the new Congress meets, the President's Message may be read amid the thunder of rebel cannon from Munson's Hill. ' The air here, for days past, has been filled with rumors of "proposals for peace," which are said to be entertained, and to be now under discussion at the White House. If there is any foundation for the rumor at all, you may rely upon it, it is baed upon secret intelligence which the Administration has received from the South, to the effect that it is really the intention of the southern people to liberate and arm their.slaves, if they can gain their independence in no otter way. When this once becomes understood, the hopelessness of the further prosecution of the war will become apparent. If any "peace proposals" are now under consideration in the Cabinet, they originated bete. No peace proposals hare come from the South, and uone will come as long M a Republican Administration remains in power. The southern people have no desire for leunioii with a country ruled by ineu who hate them, and who L.ne trumpled laws, constitutions and State rights alike under their feet. X. littst Ward of enerai l,ytle. This glorious gentleiiuti and soldier, "the mirror of chivalry," and the very idol of bis friends, who fell at the head of his brigade at Chickamauga. as he often fed before in the battle front, but this time, alas! never again to walk the earth in all the pride of his generous man hood, said, a few weeks before bis death, in the presence of his troops: "And then for you, soldiers soldiers, but freemen and armed citizens of the Republio it will be for you to remember the Roman saying. Vet pace, velbello, darum, fieri licet, or, as old Milton has paraphrased it, 'Peace has her victories no less renowned than those or war. Gen. Lvtle further said: "l will be for you to see that the powers of the government arej-estncte-1 to their lawiul ana appropriate channels, that each State has its full and perfect rights under the Constitution." ' There is the utterance of a true man who has given up his rich life for the imperiled cause. Place it side bv side with the outgivings of John Brough. "the State shall uot have slavery. No Union with slavery. Place it side by side ith the outgivings of Forney, "We must have a government with re Dublican forms and monarch al powers."

By the Pre$identof the United State A Pro clamation: Whereas, The term of service of part of the volunteer forces of the United States will expire during the coming year; and Whereas, In addition to the men raised by the present draft, it is deemed expedient to call out 300,000 volunteers to serve for three years or the war not, however, exceeding three years now Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, Commander iu Chief of the Array and Navy of the United States and of the Militia of the several States when called into actual service, do issue this my proclamation, calling upon the Governors of the different States to raise and have enlisted into the Uuited States service, for the various companies and regiments in the field from their respective States, their quotas of 300.0(H) men. .

I further proclaim that all volunteers received under this call, as well as all others not heretofore credited, shall be duly credited and deducted from quotas established for the next draft. . I farther proclaim that if any State shall fail to raise the quota assigned to it by the War Department under this call, then a draft for the deficiency in said quota shall be made in the States or in the districts of said States for their due proportion of said quota, and the said draft shall commence on the 5th day of January, 1864.

Washington October 18th. Throughout the hole dav there have prevailed rumors that the rebel army had crossed the Potomac and was marching on Washington. The frequeucv of such rumors has caused them to be disbelieved, but there is serious reason to believe tlut Lee with an augmented force is moving in that direction, and will cross the liver to attack Washing ton on the north side, if not prevented. Gen. Meade is massing his forces in that direction, and battle mav be expected within 24 hours, but no apprehensions are entertained as to the result. Gov. Salomon of Wisconsin isheie, and has succeeded in having the quota of volunteers credited to bis State in the draft that is to be made It has been concluded that the draft shall be carried out in the Western States, bnt each one is to be credited with its supply of volunteers, and the draft is to be made accordingly. 1 he sudden movement of our nrtny has shut in a nnmer ol guerrillas between it and the defenses, and steps ate being taken to capture them.

JohKS A Evajts: Well, gentlemen. Tour Hooflaud's German Bitters bas ssved my life. There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for by nun bt-rs of my comrades, some of whoe names sre appended, aod who were fully cognizant ot au tbe circumstances of my case. I am, and have been for the last four ear, a member of Sht-rman s celebrated battery, and under the immediate command of Capt. U. B, Ayrrs. Through the exposure attendant upon my arduous duties, l was attacked in No vember last with inflammation of the lungs, and was for 72 dayt in the hospital. This was followed by great de bility, hicbtened by an attack of dysentery. I was then removed from the While t!oue, and sent to this city on board the steamer State of Maine, from which I landed on the 28tb of June. Since tbat time I have been abont ss low as any one could be and still retain a spark of vi tality. For a week or more I was scarcely able to swal low an - thing, and if I did force a mortal down. It was immediately thrown up again. I could not even keep a Klaas of water oa my stomach. Life could not last under these circumstances; and accordingly the physicians who bal been working faith fully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue me from the grasp of the dread arcber, frankly told me tbey could do no more for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and to make such disposition of my limited funds as best suited An acquaintance who visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stcpbenbron, of Sixth below Arch street, advised me, as a forlorn hope, to try your Bitter, and kindly procured a bottle. From the time I commenced taking thtra tre gloomy rbadow of death receded, and I am now, thank God for it, getting belter. Though I have taken but two bottles, I have gained ten pounds, and I feel sanguine, of being permitted to rejoin my wife and daughter, from whom I have heard nothing for eighteen months; for, genllenien, t anf a loyal Virginian, from tbe vicinity of Front Royal. To your invaluable Bittertl owe the certainty of life which hat taken the place of vague fears to your Bittera will 1 owe tbe glorious privilege of again clasping to my bosom thoso who are dearest to tue In life.
