LOCAL INTEL THURSDAY MOBNINB, Tile Draft.—lt is stated thjat the draft will positively take place in the 224 district on Mon day next, the 19th inst., and that Oapt. Hirker has received An order to that effect. The same statement was made not long ago, and it was feared by some that it would hi ve actually taken place on the fifth inst. were : t not that some errors had to be corrected, and all the necessary arrangements had to be made in order to have lt enforced in a proper manner. These are said to be the only reasons why ti e wheel was not put in motion at the time app< in ted, so that it is not unlikely that as nearly all the arrange ments have already been msde, the deficient quotas will now be filled by cot scription. How ever, men will be accredited u? to the last mo ment, and there is yet plenty < f time for maoy of the sub-districts to raise the r requisite num ber of volunteers. Although men desirous of entering the army arc becoming scarce, yet there is a sufficient number remainit g to fill the com paratlvely small deficiency ;n their quotas. Let every enrolled man put hb shoulder to the wheel,and perform his share in Ihe general work, and before next Monday not a quota In the whole extent of Allegheny coi iaty will be de ficient. The Provost Marshal of this city also receiv ed instructions under whloh the draft is to com mence in the 23J District on the aacqe da). We understand that the borough of Birmingham will be the first to uadergo the :rying ordeal, to be followed on Tuesday by East Birmingham,on Wednesday by Lower St. Clair and on Thursday by Vertailles, unless the above districts succeed in the mean while In fill, ing thoir quota, in which case [there will be no necessity for enforcing the dealt.

Several committees drere appointed on flnam&s, icc., and, judging from the brilliant inauguration, the Club is one of the most prom ising of the kind to be met with,] and .will, no doubt, beai an active part during the present campaign. The members are nearly all discharg ed soldiers, men. who have seen service, and who breasted the dangers of the field under the brave' General whose name they! bear on tbelr title page. They intend to contribute freely to tbelr treasury, which will be devoted to the purchase of hags, banners afad transparencies, and every efl'oit will be made In order to in crease the number of the Club and extend its in fluence. | Bitumen of Virginia.—The Philadelphia Goal Oil Circular of this week relates the fol lowing remarkable facts concerning the above: “Besides Petroleum, a bed of Bitumen has been discovered in Kitehie county, Virginia, as re ported from that quarter. The sample received from this new mine are bright, glossy and brit tle. They are rich in oil, and yKld at the rate of one hundred and seventy ga! lons per ton. This bitumen is evidently petroleum, which has at some period issued from the € arth and been hardened by evaporation and exposure to the oxygen of the atmosphere. The c U springs fre quently occur in the immediate licinity of the coal. They are within the bordi re of the coal field, and there can be no doubt tiat the oil and the coal had one common origin. An idea has been thrown out that the petroleum has been distilled from the anthracites of Pennsylvania and the bordering country, as those anthracites in general contain no bitumen. Bat the an thracite coal field is separated from the bitumin ous coat region, and the chlef districts of the oil springs by the Allegheny mounts ins, and It is soareely reasonable to believe the; the bitumen derived from the anthracites evar penetrated through or beneath lofty mount tin masses of primary or metamorphic rocks.” Important Internal Revem —The Commissioners of Internal decided that the tax upon the ci log houaes must be levied upon tt lng capital, adding the surplus fm deducting the losses, if any, and 1 •d States bonds will be held to Government securities as pay In' The following decisions will also to the cbmmunlty; Pxtbolbuh—Coal oil intend* tlon without payment of the di placed in i\ bonded warehouse.

IGEME. JBPT. 15, 1884, . Public Reading Room. —The Democratic Olub Hall, corner of Fifth and Smithfleld streets, has been converted into a public read ing room, for the oonveniency of ail those who wish to interest themselves In the state of ai fairs during the present Presidential campaign. Newspapers and reading matter generally will be abundantly provided from all quarters, and ail possible accommodation will be afforded to the public. This, we understand, is the effect of the generosity of the Central Olub, whloh has been of late very much increased in numbers, and is altogether in a most flourishing condi tion. The public will be greatly benefited by this act of generosity, and wo hope that they will not fall to turn it to the best advantage. Assault and Battery.— Two rather pug nacious females named respeotfully Mary Moss, and Caroline Beltzer, were yesterday arrested by officer Bay, on Fourth street road, and brought before the Mayor for violating the pub lic peace, and behaviag themselves in a very dis orderly manner. They both appeared la a very dilapidated condition, and gave evidence of hav ing been indulging in that whiob in those classic districts is denominated a “free fight." Ir fact one of them was badly lamed, while the face of the other gave evidence of rather rough usage. They reciprocally sued one another for assault and battery, and both were held to bail to ans wer the charges.

The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Mercury of the 29th says: The rebel soldiers are suffering from swelled feet, in cpnsequeuce of sitting and standing so much in the water in the trenches Fever and ague is very prevalent in the rebel army. The Charleston Courier of September 2d, has a strong article against the ces sation of hostilities which, it says, the North is mhch in need of to strengthen its armies and the war power; and yet the same issue contains an article which closes as follows: “The war contains in itself every woe and calamity. which mortals groan under. With it comes bereavement, poverty, disease, death, rapine, devastation, extortion, murder, crimes of every dye, and woes of every shape and size. May the God of peace speedily lift up the light of his counte nance upon us, andgrant ns peace.” Latest from Rebel Paprrs.

Grant tel egraphs this Department in respect to the draft as follows: City Point , Sept. 13, 10:3 a. m.—To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: We ought to have the whole number of men called for by the President in the shortest possible time. Prompt action in filling our armies will have more ef fect the enemy than a victory over them. 'They profes9 to believe, and make their men believe, that there is such a party North in favor of recogniz ing Southern independence that the draft cannot be enforced. Let them be undeceived. Deserters come into our Unc9 daily who tell us that the men are nearly universally tired of the war, and that deserting w'ould be much more fre quent, but they believe that peace will be negotiated soon. (Signed) IT. S. Grant, Lieut. Gen. The following telegram has been re ceived from Gen. Sherman on the same subject: Atlanta , Sept. 13, 6:30 p. m.—To lion. E. M. Stanton , Secretary of War; I am very glad to hear that tho draft will be enforced for the following reasons: First, we need the men; second, they come as privates with their experienced officers, and third, because the enforcement of the law will manifest a power resident in our Government equal to the occa sion. Oar Government, though & De mocracy, should, in times of trouble and danger, be able to wield the power of a great nation. (Signed) The draft is ordered to commence in all tho States and districts where the quota is not fillod by volunteers on Monday the 19lh, and will go on until completed.

Sherman recounting his victories and an agreement between Sherman and Hood for a ten days truce at Rough and Ready® on Maeqn railroad, and country around it enclosed by.; a circle of 8 miles iradions, for ten days from Septemoer 12th, to enable the peo ple of Atlanta to remove to. points Bouth. Hood to Sherman, 9th inst says : Per mit me to say the unprecedented measure you propose transcends in studied and ingenious cruelty. Ail acts ever bafore brought to my attention in this dark history of war, in the name of God and humanity I protest, believing you are expelling from their homes and firesides wives and children of a brave people. Hood to James M. Calhonn, Mayor of Atlanta, sayß : I shall do all in my power to negotiate the terrible hardships and misery that must be brought upon your people by the extraordinary order of tho Federal commander. The letter to Hood was not obtainable but the following items from notice, issued by the Mayor by permission of Gen. Sherman will give an idea thereof: All citizens are required to leave At lanta and proceed either South or North, the government will furnish transporta tion South as far as Rough and Ready,: North as far as Chattanooga, all citizens; may take their moveable property with them. Transportation furnished tor all moveables. Negroes who wish can go with their masters, other male negroes will be put in government employ, and children put out of the lines. Sherman’9 order of the 4th inst. com mences as follows: “The -city of Atlanta being exclusively for warlike purposes, will at once be vacated by all except tbe armies of the United States and such civilian employees as may be retained by the proper departments of the Gov ernment;” and concludes: "The proper time and just arrangements will be made for the supply to the troops of all arti cles they may need over and above clothing, provisions, &c., furnished by the Government, and on no pretence whatever will traders, manufacturers or sutlers be allowed to settle in the limits of fortified places, and if they manage to come in short of this notice, the quar termasters will seize their stores and ap propriate them to the use of the troops and deliver the parties nr othor unnu tliorized citizens who thus place tlfcir individual interest above that of the United Slates in the hands of some pro vost marshal to be put to labnr on the forts or be conscripted into one of the regiments or batteries already in set vice. Tho same general principles will apply to all military posts south of Chatta nooga. FROM GRANTS ARMY. An Oder from the War Department The Rebels Feeling Our Lines, New Yobk, Sept. 14.— The Commer cial'> Washington special'says : Officers who left Grant's headquarters report that nothing was going on, except that occasional shelling and picket assaults. The recent order of the War Depart ment against subordinates giving infor mation is carried to the oxtremo of with holding the dates of the death of de ceased soldiers thus keeping back pay ment of insurance. John B. Habbi’s storage ware house took fire this morning, it was filled with goods. The loss amouts to 200,000 dol lars, insured. The Posl't Washington special says : Advices from the Army of the Potomac state that the rebels seem to be feeling our lines slightly, but have made no general attack at any point. Gen. Grant has isued an order that all civilians now in his lines in front of Petersburg who refuse to take the oath of allegiance shall be sent through the lines to the enemy. The order also prohibits the sale of provisions to civilians whore fuse to take the oath. The draft is ordered to take place in Delaware and Maryland on Monday New Yobk, Sept 14.—Gpld opened at an advance on yesterday, closing prices and subsequently declined, yio tone of the market being weak.
