The Pam:7iss of Drafted afen.—The long
looked for draft was made on 'fbur ti day of
lest week, and it will be seen from the list
of named published in another column, that
eighty-thrrs citizens hove been tukeu from
this town and township. Some of these are
laboring men and Ithre left families who
wore dependent upon their labor for subsis
tence. What is true of the torso:lip in this
respect is true we presume of other sections.
It should therefore, be the duty of thos e
who have been left at home, with a mple
means, to hare an eye to the wants of this
class. It would be inhuman for onebo fami
lies to want for the eoznforts and necessaries
of life whilst their husbands and fathers are

and enduring the privations and howdships.

The Great Drawback.—Colonel Forney
makes the following observations, which con
tain altogether . too much truth
"The great drawback in the prosecution
of this war is the habit of many, in and out
of the army, in office and out of office, who
think they are loyal, and yet who cannot rid
themselves of the prejudices of party or , of
sooiallife. Insensibly, such people accustom
themselves to indifference to the great crime
of the rebellion, and a habit of criticising
what they think the errors of the Adminis
tration. I hold it as a fact that in all my
experience I have never yet known to be
successfully contradicted, that whenever a
statesman 'or a soldier allows himielf to chaff
against *Black Republicanism and Aboli
tionism," ho generally and at last, co „ to
consider Secession as a moderate offer,. that
may be - readily excused and easily defended?'
[COMMITNIDATED.]
Mr Editor:--I 'have frequently beard
you charged with misrepresenting the people
of this t”wo for deuoutioing sympathisers
with treason-in our midst, and have heard
the same.personaleclare that all here were
good Union mks. No later than Wednesday
one of.this class was heard declare .publicly
'and with uplifted band that Jeff; Davis was
as good's Union-man as Abe Lincoln and
that the latteir was a cut-ihroat and robber.
It this loyalty? Of course it; is in the esti
illation of those who villify the press and all
who 4enOnnee traitors S.
aliens vote on thcOltio State ticket comes

..(Ohio) Statesman, the Democrats havo'nuuli
*lain in sixty counties of 44,660 orer•Jew
ett's vote. It - is not probable that the: Dem.

Young .?ackson.—A correspondent of the
city papers bestow upon Capt. C. H. Russell
of Williamsport, whom he calls Young Jack
son," the following well merited euconiums:
ere is a oun_ officer in the let Mar
land Cavalry who is earning a growing
well deserved reputation, and hie* fame in
the rebel army is even wider spread than in
our own. The Rebels call him "Young Jack
son" and say that, like their own Jackson, he
is everywhere, excepting where you are ex - -
pecting him. I refer to Capt. C. H. Russell
formerly a Presbyterian minister at Williams
port, Md., now commanding "Russels Ruffs.
It seems to be the delight of this officer to
make bold and rapid dashes upon the enemy;
being too rapid in advance to give the enemy
time to prepare for his coming, and rapid
enough in his retreat to elude all pursuit, as
he did at Camp Alpine last winter, and later,
at Madison Court House, at Newton, and
Frederick city.
_Since being in the service
he has taken more prisoners than he has
ever had men in his company, among whom
were two Colonels and four Captains; and
yet so skilfully has he handled his men, that
he never lost a man in any scout or raid
that he has made. His men are perfectly
devoted to him, and would dare any danger
for his sake. At the battle on Maryland
Heights (cavalry being useless) he volun
tarily dismounted his command, and. with
carbines and pistols took the front of battle,
did some of the best fightin g done there,
and when the Colonel of the 126th New
York was shot and that regiment fell back
in confusion, Captain Russell, with hat in
hand-, cheerel and rallied them again and
brought them back to their 'work.
He wears an old straw hat, a well worn
blouse with no shoulder-straps, and you
would take bim for rather a slovenly private.
The Last Words of a Dying Hero.
The following touching letter was writ
ten by Col. Broadhead, of the Michigan Cay.
airy Regiment, who was killed in one of the
battleaat which Gen. Pope commanded.—
Its touching pathos and high-toned patriot
lam will awaken fresh regrets for the death
of a brave soldier:
MT DEAREST WIVE: 1 write to you, mor
tally wounded, from the battle-field. We
are again defeated, and ere this reaches you
your children will be fatherlesi.
Before I die, let me implore that, in some
way, it may be stated that General— has
been outwitted, and that —is a traitor.
Had they done their duty as I did mine, and
had led as I did, the dear old flag had waved
in triumph.
1 wrote to you yesterday morning. To
day is Sunday,
_and to-day I sink to the
green coach of our final rest.
I have fought well; my dirling, and I
was shot in the endeavor to rally our broken
battallions. I could have -escaped, but
not until all hope was gone, and was shot—
about the only one of our forces left on the
field. Our cause is just, and our generals,
not the enemy's, have defeated us. In
God's good time He will give us victory.
And-now good bye, -wife and children.
Bring them up, Lknow you will, in the fear
of God and love for: the Savior. But for
you and the dear ones dependent I should
die happy. I know the blow will fall with
crushing weight upon 'you. Trust in -him
who gave manna in the wilderness.
Dr. Nash is with me. It• is now after
midnight, and I have:apent most of the night
in seedily, messages to you. - -
Two bullets have gone through my chest,
and directly through- my 'mg's. I suffer but
little now, but at first the' pain was acute.

Of the returning Shiloh prisoners there
were not fifty with sufficient cjothing to com

the way of garments was furnished them by
the rebels. Besides, they were supplied with
the most disgusting food. After fully de

The rebel government has' more men in

fight well. Their cause is desperate. They
do not ask for transpOrtation or for comfort
able table supplies. They are compelled to
take the field "with or without food. It was
time we should go to work without gloves.
We punished theih more at Antietam then
many of us supposed: The prisoners 'had
opportunities of seeing the large number of
wounded carried South in trains, besides the
stragglers. , As to the Libby prison, it was
a palace compared to the one-in which they
were confined. Combs were scarce and small
guards plenty.
Gen. Prentiss hoped there would be no
halting until we crush the rebellion, hang
the leaders, and grant an amnesty tattle de
luded victims of Jeff. Davis' Government.
Some one in the crowd inquired, "What
do they think of President Lincoln's Eman

replied, that many of the officers with whom
he conversed, blasherniouslyxondemnid

them—"ltion say you never oan be con

He (Prentiss) would declare everywhere that
the proclamation would do more to end the
rebellion than all the battles thught, and - ef
forts made with that view. Be was applau

WASHINGTON, October 20.—The Repub
lican of to-day says :
A refugee who recently came into General
Sigel's headquarters gives informati,on of a
tighly important character. lie escaped
- on) Amisville, Culpeper county, Virginia,
an states . that the greatest consternation
imagi ble exists among the white people of
thut who e section of country in consequence
of an apprehended slave revolt.
Seventeen negroes, most of them free, had
been arrested on suspicion of being engaged
in plotting the uprising of the entire colored
population. Copies of late newspapers, which
published President Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation, were found in their possession.
The fact that such a proclamation has been
made is well known among all the nagroes,
and it produces the most startling effect.
The terror of the whites is beyond descrip
tion. Apprehensions of a re-enactment of
the Nat Turner horrors are Dalt to an alarm
ing extent. The seventeen ,negroes were
prombtly taken - ont at Amisville and hung.
It is said that the negroes of the different
counties around Culpeper arc all engaged in
the conspiracy for a general insurrection.
Return of the Reconnoissance Towards Win

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE P-OTOMAC,
•October 18.—The troops under Generals
Hancock and Humphreys, who left on Thurs
day morning to make a reconnoitrance in the
direction' of Winchester, returned , after arri
ving at Smithfield, five miles from Bunker
Hill. None of the enemy interfered with
the return of Gen. Hancocks command.--
With Gen. .Flumphrey's command it was
different. They followed him ivith cavalry
and artillery within a short distance of Shep
hcrdstown, and corned with the latter when
ever they could get within rang e . Our loss
was one killed and six wounde d.
The troops safely recrossed at Shepherds
town ford, last evening, bringing with them
a number of prisoners.
The rebel wounded, numbering, 100 left
at Charlestown, were brought within our
