The Conscription Bill.
We take up onr pen not to condemn tlie
measure whose title forms the caption of tins
article, hut to warn Congress and the Pres
ident against its passage. We have alrea
dy denounced it as a bold infraction of the
Federal Constitution and a contemptuous in
vasion of the reserved rights of the States.
We have exposed its design to give the scep
tre of despotism into the hand of the Pres
ident, and have sounded the alarm to the
people in regard to its insidious purpose to
ward the republic. Hut our duty does not
cease here. We owe it, if not to ourself
and our follow men, most certainly to "tlrose
in authority," to utter at least a word of
warning to the men upon whose action de
pends the fate of this bill. We say to Con
gress, stay your encroaching hand, lest you
wake the sleeping lion of Pennsylvania's
pride! We say to the President, make not a
Dionysiun of yourself, for there are yet Da
mons among the people of the North who
will dare to resist any usurper! Your de
sign against the liberty of the people and
the sovereignty of the .States, is needless
and wanton. You can obtain soldiers to
carry on ycur war, by using the means which
the Constitution provides, and by making
drafts according to State regulations, or
where none sucli exist, according to the
laws of Congress in such case made and
provided. The people know this, amd, there
fore, regard this conscription bill as an out
rage upon the States and as an attempt to
*ob them of their liberty. You have asked
much of the people of the North, and much
have they granted. You demanded their
eubstance and they gave of it; you asked
for their blood and they poured it out; and,
now, after all their meek submission to your
exactions, after all their ineffable suffering
and privation, you would wrest from them
what they love better than even family and
friends, Constitutional freedom! Do not,
as you value the peace of the North, the
stability of the Government, nay, your very
lives, imagine that our people are Buch slaves
as to submit to so great a wrong! We say
to you, in friendly caution, beware! The
jieople sent their cons and brothers to die
for you, when you pretended to fight for the
right; they will die, themselves, rather than
yield the right, and that, too, in defiance of
any foe, be he perjured rebel or forsworn of
ficial.
REV. S. KEPLER—This able and faith
ful minister preached his farewell sermon in
the M. E. Church, on .Sabbath evening last.
The congregation which he addressed on the
occasion was one of the largest that ever
assembled at that place of worship. Mr.
Kepler leaves this community regretted by
many ardent friends and with the lasting es
teem of numbers who do not belong to his
congregation, but who arc not bigots in ei
ther politics or religion. His true Christian
course, in refusing to drag politics into the
pulpit, lias made him many friends, and not
withstanding the persecution of zealots and
the studied opposition of some from whom
better things were expected, he leaves his
charge, with his salary overpaid to tlic a
m&int of ffty dollars , a very good evi
dence that no man can be put down in this
community for opinion's sake.

Estate advertised in the Gazette. Valua
ble real property will bo sold by J. Cessna,
Joseph Dull, David Hewsare, S. G. Stat
ler, George Blackburn, Weimer Rcin'mger,
and Geo. W. Householder and Joim Man
speaker. There will also be a large sale of
personal property at the late residence of J.
S. Rtatler, dee'd., in Napier township, on
the 17th prox. Persons desirous of mak
ing profitable investments, should attend
these sales.
SB-John Fbrney, the drafted man who
shot Lieut. Ford, when the latter was at
tempting to arrest him, has been released
from the Old Capitol Prison, at Washing
ton, and is now awaiting his trial before the
Fulton county court. It will be remember
ed that the Commissioner of the Draft had
exempted Forney and that he was not legal
ly drafted. Ford has since died of his
wound.
We are under obligations to our old friend,
John Kinton, of Napier township, for a cup}' of
the "lledfbrd Gazette," of November 2, 1805.

to the speech to which this letter refers. We
have, the sentiments given below in the lutnd
wriling and over the signature of their author
and intend to preserve them for future reference.
Meanwhile we call upon our readers to mark
well the language of this letter. For instance:
"If it should he necessary to save tho Union,
that the Constitution should be torn to atoms,
let it lie done j" and "we would rather see the
South depopulated, we would rather that the
whole population, men, women, children, ne
groes and all should be exterminated, than that
the Union should be destroyed!" Why, this is
just what we asserted had been said at the Ab
olition' meeting, and wo are very much oldiged
to- our distinguished correspondent for his kind
ness in furnishing us a written verification of
our statement.— Eccel
B. F. MF.VF.RS. ESQ. —
Dear Sir : —ln an editorial article in the
Gazette of the 18th insi., in reference to a meet
ing held in the Court House, on Tuesday even
ing of Court week, you say, that one of the
speakers uttered the following sentiment: "Tear
the Constitution in shreds, but save the Union,
and make a new Constitution after wards!"—
Thip, I understand, is intended to refer to- my
self. What I did say was this: If it should be
necessary to suve the Union, that the Constitu
tion should be torn to atoms, let it he done, as
a new Constitution could bo made after the U
nion was saved; but if the so-called Southern
Confederacy were acknowledged, there might
be a Pacific, n Western, a New England, mid a
Middle States Republic, and the Union could
never he re-established; but that it was not ne
cessary that the Constitution should bo broken,
thnt tlio present Administration had not viola
ted it, and that the Union would be saved with
out the violation of that sacred instrument."
You also state that the same person uttered the
following sentiment: "Exterminate the South
ern people and kill their women and children,
rnther than give up the war for the Union!"
This is not correct. What I did say was this:
"We would rather see the South depopulated,
wo would rather that the whole population,
men, women, children, negroes, nnd all, should
he exterminated, than that the Union should be
destroyed P' I place TtiK Union above everything
else, nrrd I think every good patriot should do
the same. Yours, truly,

The Frauds in the N. Y. Custom House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20th.—Secretary Clinsc
communicated to tlio Senate, in answer to a
resolution, a statement of Edward Jordan, So
licitor of the Treasury, relative to frauds in the
New York custom bouse, showing that frauds
upon the revenue had been committed for at
least two yenrs past, effected by making out
false invoices, representing different descriptions
and lower prices of goods than were actually
imported, and then securing the passage of such
invoices by various devices through the Custom
I louse. In somo cases a portion of the goods
were correctly invoiced, and these particular
packages examined. Invoices were sometimes
made in fictitious names, and sometimes the
the goods of ono person were entered into the
name of another.
In some instances the importer was cognizant
of the fraud, in others his broker was responsi
ble alone. Entries and invoices, when comple
ted, were in some cases destroyed, to obliterate
theevidence of the fraud. About fifty thousand
.lollnrs have been recovered by seizure of goods
belonging to the parties implicated. About one
hundred fraudulent entries by Junius R. Van
\ cchtcn, Mureellus R. Ellis, and R. Griggs have
been discovered. The first has been dismissed,
and placed under bonds. The others are sus
pended and the District Attorney has been re
quested to indict them.
Henry Calhoun, the Deputy Collector, is cen
sured for want of vigilance. Wm. A. Leffing
well and Clerks, in the Record Rurenu, arc
deemed culpably careless. Tlio Solicitor is con
fident that the frauds in importation are con
stantly and systematically practiced in jewelry,
laces and silks and other costly goods, by smug
gling in various ways: in other goods through
false invoices. The facts show that money, in
large sums, hns been received by officials for
fraudulent acts or connivance, and a belief is
stated that nonrly all the officers are in the ha
bitual receipt of emoluments from importers and
their agents.
One lawyer savs he has, in fifteen months
paid eighteen hundred dollars to one Record
Clerk. \an Vechten admits having received
twenty-five hundred dollars per annum. A
Rank Clerk, on a salary of one thousand dol
lars, in eight years accumulated thirty thousand
dollars.
The Solicitor recommends—
First. The designation of an officer at Wash
ington. charged with the prevention sad detec
tion of frauds on the revenue.
Second. New regulations.concerning invoices
and entries of foreign merchandise.
Third. The criminal punishment of the guil
ty-
Fourth. The prohibition of all emolument
from importers.
Fifth. Provision for securing proof against
sutli frauds.
The Conscription Bill.
Mr. Wilson's bill, which passed the Senate
on Monday night, tho 10th instant, provides in
substance as follows:
All able-bodied male citizens, and those who
have doclared their intentions to become such,
or have exercised the right of suffrage, between
tho agea of 20 and 45 years, constitute the Na
tional forces of the United States, and are liable
to perform military duty when called out by the
President. The cxcaipts are those who nrc
physically or mentally antit, the Vice President,
heads of Executive Departments, United States
Judges, Governors of States, only son of an in
digent widow, or infirm parent, or one such son,
where there are two or more, to he selected by tho
parent, also the only brother of orphan children
under twelve years, also the lather of mother
less children of the same age ; aud where two
of a family are in military service the remain
der of such family, not exceeding two, shall be
exempt. No person convicted of felony shall
tie enrolled or permitted to serve.
The National force not now in service is to
be divided into two classes, the first class em
bracing all lie twee it 20 and 85 years of age, and
all inunarried men lietween 35 and 45 years of
age. The second class embraces all the others
and will not be called into service until after
the first class. For convenience of enrollment,
districts are made corresponding with the Con
gressional districts; in each of which the Pres
ident shall appoint a Provost Marshal with the
rank and pay of a Captain of Cavalry, or he
nuiv detail an officer of similar rank who shall
have a Bureau m the War Department, and
shall make the needful rules and regulations for
carrying out the provisions of tliis act. Those
Marshals are to arrest deserters, report treason
able practices, and detect spie3, &c.
In each district there is to ho a Hoard of En
rollment, consisting of the Provost Marshal and
two other persons, appointed by the President,
one of wliotn is to lie a physician and surgeon.
This beard shall divide the district into conve
nient sub-districts and perfect an enrollment
onco in each year, each chess to be enrolled sep
arately. Persons thus enrolled are subject for
two years to- IKS called into service to servo for
three years or during the war, on the same foot
ing with tlie present volunteers, advance pay,
bounty money, &c., included.
When necessary to make a draft, the Presi
dent shall indicate tbo noiniter for oncli district,
taking into consider:) tion the number already
furnished since the beginning of the war, so as
to fuirly equalize the burden; the enrolling offi
cers shall then make the draft with 50 per cent,
addition, and within ten days serve notice upon
the drafted men.
Substitutes may be furnished, or commuta
tion ni.'iue not to exceed three hundred dollars,
at the discretion of th.e Secretary of War. Any
person drafted and I'tiiling to report, or furnish
a substitute, or pay his commutation, shall be
deemed a deserter, and subject to immediate ar
rest.
The bill provides for the proper surgical ex
amination of dvafted men, and tlie punishiucnt
of surgeons wljo receive bribes.
When tb e uraft is finished, all those not taken
are allowed t raveling pay to their homes. Those
who furnish substitutes arc exempt for the en
tiro time of draft, nt\d the substitute has the
same pay, &c., as though originally drafted.
The t ill also provides that volunteers now in
service who re-enlist for one year shall llavo a
bounty oIT $5O, one-halt paid down; those who
enlist for two years receive $25 of tho regular
$lOO bounty.
Then j are also provisions for the consolida
tion of skeleton regiments; also that Generals
in the :fiell may execute court-martial sentence
against spies, deserters, mutineers, or murderers,
without reference to the President; courts-mar
tial may reduce absentee officers to the ranks;
clothing, arms, &c., shall not be sold, pledged,
or given away, and may be taken wherever
found in illegal hands; persons who entice sol
diers to desert, or harbor them, or buy their
arms or mniforms, and ship captains or railroad
conductors who knowingly convey deserters,
may be fined $5OO and imprisoned from six
months to two years.
Any parson who resists n draft, or counsels
others to do so, or dissuades them from perform
ing military duty, shall be summarily arrested,
locked up until the draft is finished, then be
tried by a civil Court, and fined $5OO or impris
oned two years, or both.
The President, on the passage of this act,
shall issuo a proclamation recalling absentees
from the army, who nmy return without pun
ishment within the time indicated, oxecpt the
forfeiture of pay for the time of absence; those
who do not return will be doserters.
Officers absent with lean?, except for sickness
or wounds, rcocive half-pay; oificcrs absent
without leave, no pay at ail. There are other
provisions, but chiefly of details not particular
ly important.
This bill, it will lie observed, confers new and
extraordinary powers upon ft'ie President. In
effect, it establishes martial law over tho whole
Union. It over-rides the constitutional and stat
ute authority of the State Governments over
their citizens, in respect to milirary service, nnd
consolidates the supreme power in all things
pertaining thereto, in the hands ot' the President.
It would he useless to discuss the- constitution
ality of this or any other measure, in view of
the present policy of the administration; but we
may be permitted to question tho necessity for
so radical a change in tho established Militia
Systora of the country, in consideration of the
fact that every requisition heretofore made by
the Federal Government upon the,'-ftate author
ities, has been promptly and patriotically an
swered; nnd in no ease, except thut of Massa
chusetts, lias there been the slightest indication
on the part of the Governors of any of tho loyal
States, of an intention to withhold from the
President tbe support of any portion of the
whole war power of the nation in tho effort to
suppress the rebellion, and restore the constitu
tional relations between the seceded States and
tbe Federal Government. Tho conscription bill,
in view of the manifest tendency of the mea
sures of the presentCongre-e toward absolutism,
may well excite suspicion and distrust, if not a
stronger feeling. It has yet to pass tbe House-
Tbe vote on its ffnni passage in tbe Senato, is
not given.— Sttdmf Gai- f Dim.

FUIEND MEYERS:
The weather just now is very pleasant for
out door sports, suoh, for instance, as drilling!f)
And I c*n assure you the otllccrs that have the
big straps on their shoulders, are having a good
time of tt, in the way of buggy and horse-back
riding with the ladies. There are lots of im
ported ladies here. No one knows wlwrc they
ure from, who they are or to whom they belong.
But they are here. The word is, however, s-iy
nqthmtj, ji'or all is military in those ''piping times
of pence," and Uncle Sam's treasury fiddles
while his horses dance. Yes, all is military.—
If you would see sonio of the bun box inon
"ripping and tearing" througli the streets, as if
for life or death, you would think the war
would lie over by sun-down. To ol)scrve their
performances you would imagine that the fate
of the whole country depended on their riding
through the city of Newborn. But all this is
military A Colonel or Major, an Aid or some
other great officer, rides over a private. No
matter [its, military. You see the painted beau
tics they have with them, with double-breasted
riding skirts and more gilt buttons and stars
than firty Majors. All this is military, is the
rage at Newborn. When I get to town aud
see thise things I wonder whether there are not
barefooted and breadlcss childred at home, and
whctler you are answered there, All M mJilari/.
I woud like to deseiibo all I have seen of these
pastetsard men, left to lie around and manage
the guirdiug of towns and who never saw ser
vice or rebels except such as have takcii the
oath; but this running note v/ill not allow.—
But I must say that thcro if, too many of this
kind of "All is military" soldiers in our army.
Give ticm nice clothes, big pay, Uncle Sam's
horses, a bottle of whi*,'key, and some other con- ,
vemencts, and let thei'j stay away from danger,
and tley are all They don't care as long
us Uncle Nam's Greenbacks arc at par.
Our Irigads was ordered away from this place
with u fleet that Ge.n. Foster hsis gone with from
here, vhich, I suppose, went to South Caroli
na. ,'ut owing to a large force concentrated
some fifteen miles above here, on the railroad, i
and vhich, report said, had come from Rich
mond reo.dy to take this place hack, if Foster j
wouii take all the old troops away and leave it ,
entirey in the hands of a few drafted regiments
that lrve been sent to this point. Gen. Faster, j
comiranding this department, ordered General |
WVs*ll, who was our Brigadier and now is our ,
Giviaon General, to command this department, |
.u his absence. Gen. Wossol very politely asked |
for hs old Brigade, as ho did not care, I sup- J'
pose,about taking hold of such ail important I ■
post,with a few regiments of green troops.— j'
lie vanted some old troops with thorn, and it I,
wouDgivo tltcm a rest, so, in that way you see, j
we g>t to stay. * |'
Otv. Stanley, Military Governor of this
Stat<, has resigned, I understand, on account
of tic President's Proclamation to free the
slaves. The Stanleys have a great amount of
property hi Newborn.
(Jen. Poster, or souio other of the authori
ties, enrolled some colored soldiers here, for
garrison und fatigue duty. I have not heard
anything about it since Gen. Foster went with
the Heat. I don't know whether it stopped on
account of his going away or not; but there
were five hundred enrolled before he left.

Shu had been an exemplary member of the
M. E. Church for 53 years, ever adorning the
doctrines of Christ, her Savior, by an upright
walk and a chaste conversation. Her illness
was of a protracted and painful character, in
her alllictions, her conlidonce in Christ was un
shaken, desiring to depart and be with liiin,
which is far better, ever evincing a desiro that
(fod's will, not hers, should be done. She was
a good wife and a kind and affectionate mother.
Words arc inadequate to express her parental
worth. Of ft retiring dipovition, her virtues
shone, brightest in the home-circle. "Her chil
dren rise up and call her blessed." She left the
world without a strujtgle; her happy spirit was
kissed away tut the dew of the morning. When
earth's strongest ties are riven, the luint heart
bleeds, but we bow in submission, resolved that
the power of Iter example shall incite us to ho
lier effort to make her rest our own.
It will not be death to her again,
Whoso life to God was given,
Gladly to earth her eyes she closed,
To open them in Heaven.
Her toil is past, her work is done,
And she is fully blest,
Her battle's fought, her victory won,
Jesus smiles, and save, well done.

his age.
[Deceased was a prominent and highly respec
ted citizen of our county and died regretted by
a large circle of friends. A lit'o of steadiness,

BL'LGEIt.-—-In Woodbcrry, on the sth inst.,
Andrew M". Bulger, son of Margaret and Dan
it. Bulger, aged 20 years, 5 months and2l days.
The funeral of the deceased, was preached, in
the afternoon of the 16th, in the Methodist
Church, in this place, by the Reverend Fousc.
Seldom, on occasions like this, have we wit
nessed such a concourse of people.
The church was tilled to overflowing, and as
many more outside, all eager to pay the last
tribute of respect to a bravo and gallant soldier,
ere his body should be consigned to its narrow
home, to mingle with tho dust.
Andrew entered, as a volunteer, the service
of the United States, August 21th, 1861. He
was a member if Company C, 11 Oth Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers, (that veteran, but
alas! shattered regiment which time only can
siifliciently honor nnd Eternity reward) and it
is but just to the memory of the deceased, to
say that he was one of its most faithful and de
voted heroes. Besides a number of skirmishes,
he was in the memorial battlo of Winchester,
on the 2Jd of March, 1862, and in the battles
of Port liepublic, Cedar Mountain, Thorough
faro Gup, and Bull Run, in all of which, wo
are reliubly informed, he displayed a gallantry
which won the approbation of his companions
in urms, and which should endear him to the
hearts of his countrymen for whom he sacrificed
his life.
After marching with his regiment some two
thousand miles, and enduring tho privations and
perils of wur for a year and a half, his physic
al constitution, though formerly very healthy,
wasted a -ray; he received his discharge from tho
service, and returned home, where he remained
until he died.
A few weeks previous to ho receiv
ed tho ordinance or baptism, and became a
