Thk Draft. —The enrollment of thie militia of
this comity will be finislted in a few days and it
will then be scon whether Blair has furnished her
quota. We learn that the quota of this county,
under all the calls, excepting that for three months
men, is 1852 men. , Whether the enrollment will
chow that we have exceeded or fell short of this
amount, we liave as. yet no means of ascertaining,
li can only be known after the Deputy Marshals
have made their returns and lists have been
compared. The manner in whJfch the enrollment
is taken prevents one county from imposing upon
ir claiming the men who have gone from another
county and enlisted in companies raised in the first.
The Marshals take the name of every man who
ha- gone to war from his district, with the letter of
the company and the regiment in, which he enlist
ed. no matter whether the company is from anoth
er county or State. Thus even.' county!,'and dis
trict in the county, receives credit fot its own.
Tlii-1 comity will receive no credit for men from
Huntingdon county who enlisted in companies
irom this county, although they may have receiv
,-i the bounty given by Blair.; This is right, so
iur as exhibiting the patriotism of a county is enn
vrned. but wrongln reference to the bounty.
When it is known exactly, .how many men are
lucking in a district, to make up the quotas, w
diink if would be an easy malta to raise volun
teers sufficient to fill it. If is done in the follow
iusr manner in other places. A meeting of the
citizens of a district is called.and the announce
mcui made that so many men (ire wanted to fill up
A bounty fund is.immediately raised

In even case it is accepted anti re

.equally 0(1011 all who will pity., and at the same
time enables those who volunteer to leave enongh
behind them for the- support of those who are de
pendent iijjon them, it is fetter for those who do
not wish to leave their hu-ine-s to etattribute lib

•rlio can lefite home to take ;!i- lajnntv, and go as
volunteers than to stand tlicif chance in a draft
and have to go without bounty. It mar be said
iliat this would shield the rich, and compel the
poor to volunteer. s We do not so consider it. At
! lli ‘ i sta ire of the game, when a draft is to be made,
ull arc equal, and if a man who stands a fair
chance to be drafted canf By volunteering, save
nimsejt" from being drafted, and receive a com
pensation of §6O dr §lOO dollars, it is certainly to
his advantage to take it. Besides, it is dipt pay
iug for a substitute. The man. who pays 'toward
this bounty, no matter bow liberally, might not be
drafted, and therefore have no substitute; to fur
nish, but he pays the money directly for the ben
efit of those who volunteer, and in order :to save
Lhe district from a draft. We.do not know how
others may view this, or what action may .be taken
on it. We note it as the manner of procedure in
otherplaces where it is found to; work to the advan
tage of all. There are many men in , this' place
who wish to go into the army and would gjadiy do
so if such inducements be offered, provided it
shall be found that Altoona has not fnnushed her
'(uota. •'■ : ' ' I s
I'UOFOKTIO.V of Chchches.— The Christian In
■-UtrjfM-a- has compiled a table showing the pop
ulation and nomber of churches in! the cities of
New dork, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston,
trom which we leant that in Jfew York j there is
one church to even- 2,641 of a population, m Phil
adelphia one to every 2,056, in Baltimore one to
every 1,249, and in Boston one to every 1,586. —
Brooklin, Newark and Elizabeth city, have each
one church to,every 1,000 While
the churches in the cities arej mnqh larger and;
more Expensive than in cotmtey towns,; yet the
country towns far exceed the dries in the Briber
"t churches compared with tlte populatioiil. Take
Altoona, a new place, and we find that .we have
oine churches completed and in nse, and t t wo
building, making eleven, viz:—i2 1 Pres
'j.vterian, 1 Lutheran, 1 Methodist Episcopal, 1
Baptist, 1 Protestant 1 United; Breth-
I 4n i 1 African Methodist, completed, and 1 Ger
’Mn Lutheran, and 1 Winebrenarian in course of
erection. Taking the jxipnlation of Altoona at
a.OOO, this would give ns one church to evety 454
ialiabitants. Several of our churches will hold
tiorv than 600 persons fomfortably, and! most of
'•hem win hold 400, consequently we have church
’■com for every inhabitant-of the town. The cities
■anuot cope with country towns in this retpect.

Ibk-Bask flat.i. Match. —According to previ
ous arrangement, the match between nine mem
bers of the Base Ball Club, of' this place, and the
same number of the Keystone-Club, of Harrisburg,
came oil at the latter place, on Wednesday of last
w’eek. From the Harrisburg Tete<jra)>h of Thurs
day best we copy the following account of the
game. For the information of those unacquainted
with the game we may stall- that nine innings con
stitute a single game:
Ikmsgs 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 1 5 | C | 7 | d | 9
Tlie nintli inning being a tie a tenth was played
for the championship, which resulted in the Key
stone making 8 runs and the Mountain 5 runs, or
on 10 innings a side, the Keystone made 41 runs,
and Mountain 38 runs. The prize ball was.hand
ed over to the by the Captain of the
Mountain Club. The umpire. Col. D. W. C.
Moore of Philadelphia, complimented this players
of both clubs for their good playing, considering
the short time they have practiced. All parties
separated with the best of feeling. The
will show the batting, hands lost and runs, of the
respective players:

Injustice to the members of Mountain Club we
must state that dijfing the entire game they never
changed the position, of a man, while the Keystone
Clnb changed the position of nearly, every man.—
It will be observed that the playing of the Moon
tain Club was regular and rather the best, up to
the eighth inning, at which time the Keystone
Club changed .their pitcher. The new pitcher
gave balls to which M&hhtain Club was unaccus
tomed, and which they could not bat; and although
they made a fair show of runs on the ninth and
tenth innings, it was more on “ misses’’ than
•‘strikes”. Considering that Mountain Club was
on a new field, they did exceedingly well, and on
their own ground would be-likely to lead the Key
stone more than three rnns in ten innings.
The Patriot $ Union says the only casualty du
ring the game was', home by McCargo, of the
“Keystone," who, on the sixth inning, in tiying to
catch a bounding ball, canght it on his nose, caus
ing a. bountiful supply of claret to flow, and a sus
pension of the playing for about ten minutes.
Our correspondent, “Brevier,” is inclined to
complain of the accommodations furnished by the
Penn’a K. R. Co. for carrying soldiers. He should
remember that the Cars for transportation were not
of the Company's cfaosiug. Doubtless the .Com
pany would'much rather have sent all recruits for
ward on passenger cars, had that been possible,
than to have cut up and seated freight cars in the
manner they did. The Government would admit
of no delay, consequently the Company did the
best they could.

The Marshals’ returns from this place will
show that we have a large pro))ortion of lighting
men, that is. men fit to do military duty: undoubt
edly rapre, in proportion to the number who have
gone out, than almost any other town in the State.
The regson of this is obvious toevery one acquaint
ed with the place. In the first place almost every
man is a laborer, and there are fewer old men
than in older towns; and in the second place the
population is kept up by the constant influx of
workmen to take the places of those who have
gone away. The work in the shojis must lie exe
eutad, and men are brought from other places ter
do jit. For these.reasons the returns'' will doubt
less show a less per centage from ’ Altoona than
troni other places which have not done us well.

the I’finn'a Bull Road Company recently passed a

liood iudneed the pas,sage of this resolution. Op

Jtpe theuiselves or be dismissed from the service,
and loyal men will he relieved from unjust suspi

The Bridge.— We observe that the Kail Koad
company is about to commence the erection of a
bridge across the railroad tracks at the crossing on
Annie street. This will prove a great conven
ience. to our citizens and fully demonstrate tin- ac
commodating disposition of the company, as the
bridge will be for the benefit of tin* pubKe at rite
expense of the cora|>auy.
Heard From.—Lieut. Johnjs. Campbell, whom
we noticed last week as being among the missing
sintje the battle of Slaughter's Mountain, has been
heard from. An officer of the Federal army, who
knows Lieut. (.., wits reectulv released from im-
prisonment in one ot the tobacco warehouses in
Richmond, and he informs Mrs. Campbell that
her husband arrived among the prisoners taken in
the above battle, just as he left his prison.
Correction.—Some time since we published
the death of Mr. Samuel M’Dowell, of Logan
township, and made a mistake of 00 years in his
age, Instead of 10 years, it should have h,-en 70
years, 3 months and 2d davs.
An Inquiry.
\Vc, tin.- undersigned, commissioned officers,
commanding companies com]>osed entirely of men
from Blair county, submit to the citizens of lire
county tlte following, for onr own information :
Haring noticed, lately, the bounties offered and
paid to nien enlisting under the recent requisitions
qf the Gpverement, to wit: $25 for nine month
men; $3O for twelve month men and $5O for three
year, ,or the war, men, we desire to know whether
the $3O paid to men enlisting for throe years, or
the war, applies to those who enlisted,for that term,
prior to the recent call, or only to those who have
enlisted since the call ? If the latter, we desire to
know it, representing, as we do, two companies of
loyal men from Blair county, enlisted for the war.
We alsojiotice that the County Commissioners
have negotiated a loan of $22,000 to be applied
to that; purpose. If so, are our men entitled to
the bounty? and if not, why? Our men enlisted
before there was a probability of a draft, with no
bounty joflered them except that provided by an
Act of'Congress, approved July 22d, 186 i . No
other inducement was held out thah that our coun
try needed out services—every one of us—in crash
ing this) unnatural rebellion; and with true and
hearts they responded, and have proved
themselves worthy of the name of soldier. No
stigma tests on .them. “If yon will not volunteer
tp-day and take the bounties offered, you will be
drafted to-morrow and he excluded from all bene
fits.” Twelve hundred of Blair county’s sons did
not ask!“ what bounty do you .jura?” Satisfied
were they to know that they antPtlieii> should be
taken cafe of, and with the spirit of patriots left
their pleasant and comfortable homes, to experi
ence th£ hardships of* soldier’s life, the risk of n
deadly missile, or vyorse—disease. If this loan is
to be paid by taxation on the citizens, we ask for
opr enlisted men the benefits of th.e same. Thcv
are enticed to the same bounty paid to other men
pn the game term of enlistment. We ask that
justice be done—’tis all we ask. As to sums do
nated private citizens we know nor care nothing
about, but in regard to the' former we desire to lie
enlightened.
Patriotism is a fine thing, but finer is the “ al
mighty dollar,” in some peoples estimation, and it |
has proven correct doctrine, judging from the re- i
sponge tjo the late calls; and remember if there is ;
euy pickings, we want our men to have a chance. :
We did jiiot come for paltry dollars and cents, but
as there; is a superabundance, apparently, of that |
> article, we repeat, our “ boys” are in for. a share. !
: Hoping von will give this matter your consider- 'f
eration, iand give ns the desired information as soon ;
as convcjment, we will then, if necessary, have \
something more to say about it.
We have the honor to be
: ! Your most obedient servants,

The lute hour at which we repeived the above
prevents put giving a definite' answer to the inqui
ry. We hope, ere our next issue, to have some
thing official on the subject.
We think the reference to “almighty dollar,”
as stimulating the recent enlistments, vety unchar
itable. > We know a greater portion of those who
enlisten in this place, and we know that it was
patriotism and not gain that induced them to do

1 o the Public !—An experience of six months
has fully convinced :me that the cash system ‘-is
the best, both for merchant and consumer. It ena
bles the merchant to sell at ose-ualf less profit
and make more clear money, with less trouble than
he vail by selling on credit; apd the reason is ob
'imi-—-he gets the money down for everything he
wants to sell, and has the use of it immediatelv.
1 be consumer also saves by buying for cash, be
cause lie gets his merchandise at from 28 to 51) per
cent. Inflow what he would have to pay if he bought
on credit, or even if he bought at a store which
sells on credit. The credit business always loses a
certain per centage, which must be made up from
c.isb or prompt monthly payer.-.
I am determined to do nothing but a CASH
Ill's! N'Kss, and have but ONE PRICK for mv
Goods.
