The treasurers of the said sev eral unties shall refund to non-residents of t'i.- lcspectiie counties who have pa d for li. uses the sums imposed by said herein ! recited act the excess so paid to them by such persons over and nbovo the sum- impo i y said act upon n - i.'etits of their own i counties for similar liteuoes. THE Senate of the Uuited States last Sat urday passed an Act for the rebel of certain drafted men, which had been passed bv the House of Representatives, on the last day of the last session. It provides that the Secretary of War shall refund the three hundred dollars paid as com mutation by the men drafted under the amen datory enrollment act of February 24, 1364, where the same men were again drafted with in one year and held to service or required to furnish substitute.-. The draft under the call ol December ltt, 1 -''it. having been ordered at a very early day in this district, quite a number of the ineu commuted in IS*;4 were ngain drafted and entered the service or furn ished substitutes, and similar eases exist in a number of the other districts of Pennsylva nia, as well as in Delaware, Kentucky and some parts of the West. The Act of February 24, 1 4, provided that the payment of commutation should ex empt "until that quota be tilled and not ex ceeding one year." The quota under the calls of February 1 and March 14, 18tVi were never filled. Notwithstanding the draft un der the call of Dec. 19, 1861. took place within one year from the time the men draft ed under the calls of February 1 and March If, !'• L paid commutation, the Provost Mar shals were ordered by the War Department inexorably to hold the men drafted iri the last draft who had so commuted. A contrary ruling, it is true, was made at a late day, but too late to avjil to release those men whose eu.-ee had been theretofore adjudicated. Strange to say, the attempt to have the money refunded to these injured men was re sisted by the V. ar Department, and it was on ly after repeated and persistent effort that the refunding act, doing measurable justice, was passed. This act was passed through the earnest and tireless efforts of Capt. Geo. Eyster, late Provost Marshal.—-he having several times visited Washington to effect its passage. He first appealed to the Provost Marshal General to refund the money, but he refused, the Sec retary of War sustained his decision, and both those officers advised against the bill. Not daunted, Capt. Eyster appeared before the Military committee of Congress and presented the justice of the ease so clear ly that both reported favorably. The bill was at first defeated in the Senate, but he effected a reconsideration, a modified bill proposing to pay bat SIOO was parsed, but he again ap peared before the House Committee and the House refused to concur, and finally he effec ted passage of the original bill. He was cor dially aided by Gen. Coft'roth last session and (ien. Kooritz and Hmu F. McPherson also gave their earnest efforts to aid the success of the measure. — Chambersbitrg Repository, Feb. 27.

ARREST OK A DESPERADO. —Some time last year, a man named Joseph Matthews, who resided in Blacking township, Huntingdon county, sold a lot of shingles to a man na med William P. Goahorn, residing in Tell township, same county. The prise of the shingles was about s--tt. The money not be ing paid down at the time of the sale it was attached by some creditors of Matthews. In the fall, probably in October, Matthews went to Goshorn and demanded payment for the shingles. Goshorn explained to him that the money had been attached, and declined to pay. Thereupon Matthews proceeded delib erately t set tire to Goshorn's barn, and kept watch over it with a loudcil rifle rill it nu burned to the ground. With malignity tin parallelled, he then shot and killed three horses belonging to Mr. Goshorn: after which he made off. Goshorn's loss was about $2,00. The miscreant was not heard of for a long time, but lately it was ascertained he was staying at or near Garman's Mills, in the Nor thern part of this county. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and on Monday of last i eck Sheriff Myers and Col. Wm. K. Piper, of Ebensburg, and a Mr. i.utz. of Hunting don county, undertook to serve the same. They proceeded hence to Garman's Mills, but found that the guilty party had changed his quarters only a day or two before their appearance there. They gathered all the in formation they couideome at respecting him, and returned here the ensuing Friday. The same day Col. Piper and Mr. Futz, concluding from inforn ation received that the object of their search had gone toward Indiana, followed in that direction, and—to make a long story short after an arduous but exciting chase of seven days, came up with him near Shelocta, Indiana county, not far from the Armstrong comity line, on Sun day. He WAS taken into custody, forthwith, and was removed to Indiana, where he spent the night in the county jail. On Monday morning he was taken to Huntingdon county. Matthews is a desperate character and was for years the tenor of the community in which he lived. While in this county be went by the name of .Albert Allen. A purse was found upon him, containing, among oth er things, a card inscribed with his name and a slip cut from a Huntingdon paper mention ing the burning ot G' -horn's barn and the shooting of his horses. A heavily loaded navy revolver was also found upon him. It is worthy of remark that the arrest of Mat thews is mainly due to the fact that he ear ried with him constantly after lea big Gar man's Mill's, a coal digger's pick, t his ena bled his pur-uorsto track him through all his ! devious wanderings with a degree of accura cy which would otherwise have been im- i possible.
