DRAFT, When the President issued his proc lamation, increasing the call from three, tolftve hundred thousand, the citizens of this 06=1 almost by acclamation, called on the commissioners to offer a bounty for enlistments. The excitement run so high that a public meeting - Ives called, at which a -resolution was passed, r ma:amending that said bounty be fixed at $6OO. This amount was pinch larger time necessary, to effect the object; but t showed plainly that the people were ready and willing to respond, in a shale that would fill oar qmeta without having 7 e uacaster county, which bad recently given se' large a majerity in favor of a yigorous prosecution oetho war, disgrac ed by another draft. The commissioners happ.engd to.be a set of chicken-hearted old loades, without energy, or capacity enough for the emergency ; and they concieded to let the thing VIM in about the eau e style as a certain species of pro fessors, known to the fraternity as fair weather christians—let the Sabbath pass if it happens to be a rainy day. We recommend thatthe next public meeting, Tote each of the commissioners, one of Quick's Incubators. They would find the little "chicks" which they might hatch out, very interesting and congen ial company. The Incubator should be pf the smallest size,so as to preserve uni formity among these trio companions. The Governor and Legislature of this State, petitioned the President tp pos pone the draft; and Congress to contin ue the government bounties; both prop ositions were granted under the assurance that Penasylvania would fill her quota by enlistments. Can the State govern s meat fulfill its promise, or expect any future indulgence for counties, or sub districts which make no effort to avoid the draft?' A bill was introduced in our Legislature t few weeks ago which Jegalieed the acts of all persons, who had borrowed money to pay bounties ; ,andfauthprized Commissieneriof Coun ties:Councilmen of,borough:s, and - other officers of sub-districts, to borrow money to pay bounties with ; and to tax the amount on said Counties, boroughs and sub-districts. The sub-districts which have furnished their quota l / 4 are to be exempt from such tax. This bill will undoubtedly become a lees - in a few days, if it has not already passed ; and amounts to authority,on part of the County commis sioners to pay a bounty, arid tax sub-dis triets which are deficient; and also au thorises s4b : districts, to pay a bounty and tax it themselves. When the draft was prdered Columbia had 539 enrolled; and was deficient 1-1:?, ; a large number have since enlisted and been credited to other places, but it Ls useless to suppose that we will be credited for the Dumber so en listed. It can only effect our pro rata share as compared with the whole num ber, enrolled in the county. Suppose 150 have enlisted, that number will be de ;Noted from the revised enrollment; loavieg Columbia with 689, enrolled and about 114, deficient. Our Councilmen must act promptly in this matter, or the eitizens will hold them responsible for the disgrace and consequences incident to * draft. If Colunibia must raise 620,000 let her face the music, the rich can pay from fifty to seventy-five dollars and /Allem from five to twenty, and nor one would be injured. if; draft ui made, some could not pay and would be obliged to leave their families destitute ; others would pay all they are worth and our army would not be filled. The only question for our Councilmen to decide, , shall Columbia fulfill her portion of Governor. Curtins promise ; or shall she repudiate through their neglect of duty PgTROLEUX. The discovery of petroleum nod its pro gross as a staple article of commerce is truly wonderful. Four years have been sufficient to elevate petroleum, from the, worthless condition of a floating pellicle en the surface of an obscure creek to the rank of prime staple, of which the world I cannot get enough. There is nothing in, the history of industrial development tot equal the progress it has made. When the country first heard that an adventurer in Western Pennsylvania bad dug a well from which gushed out a thousands gal lons of oil daily, the multitudes refused to believe. Many of those who did be- Hove were sure the flow would quickly fail of was impossible such luck should last. It not only did last, but has been matehed by hundreds of others. Io thiscoarkfry `development is in pro portion to the era it can be collected. As in the gold mines, so in gion. The latter was already within a day's "fide of a dense population, who, amazed at the disnovervihrilieAi,'4lteir -"• - • • door, flocked italnfeee - ;: - 'to/f0tRattkiarted,l*d to bore wcW..", -- 11i,ttsiditstlao i ,.n*id miles away4becait:Oir4rli , 44feciE--# : .

It has already founded new cities aud given prodigious yitaliti to old ones-- - ;oVen ' qUickening the trade of such as this, and built a railrdad twenty-seven ;wiles in length, over which, in the - fourteen months ending with 1863, there were carried 430,684 barrels of oil, 22,727 tons of freight, and within thirteen of 60,000 passengers. The receipts 8384,- 705. and the dividend 25 per cent. All these wonders hav,e been wrought within four years in a wild region, into which strangers never ,penetrated, where the land was of little agricultural value, and where populatio&had never gathered. tip to 1863 the progress of the petro leum trade astonished everybody. But that of the past year has exceeded ail ex_ pectatien. It ;s evident the wells have no bottom. What the product for the year has been we cannot say. It may be that in the excituoent of a highly pros perous business no accurate account has been kept. But the Custom-House fig ures give some indication. Petroleum is exported to every country in the world. In 1861 we shipped 1,113,476 gallons, in 1862 it rose to 10,887,701 gallons, and in 1863 it reached the extraordinary quantity of 28,000,000. In addition to this foreign export, the home demand is enormous. , Though the whole business is strictly a new one, yet it has already assumed shape and stability. Ships for conveying it to England are constructed oil tight, and the barrels emptied direct ly into the hold, thus carrying it in bulk. The export of last year employed what was equal to 252 'ships of 1,000 tons each, and was worth near 815,000,000 if refined, or about $12,000,000 if crude. The export for this year is estimated atl 40,000,000 gallons. Refilled !!oal oil is now as colorous as water. It is burned in lamps in tens of thousands of families, and fortunes have been realized by the inventors of lamps and the manufacturers of shades and chimnies. The consumption for illumi nating purposes is only just begun. As the pleasantest and cheapest light, next to gas,' ).t. is destined to supere,ede all but the latt4t• : . Like irom'-gold 4d coal, no one can; fix the limit of consumpiion.— It can Only be arrested by failure of the wells to.yield. Of this geologists as§ert that there is little probability. The pe= troleum wells of 13irmah have yielded uninterrupted supplies for thousaud.4 of years. How; long our coal mines may last has been frequently calculated, .but uo calculator has ventured to predict that they were likely to give out. The iron and gold they give us an inexhaust ible. If they abandon petroleum to the same extended term, it may justly claim to take rank beside them as an equally enduring staple.

The rebels.adralt that he has done them im mense damage, and impoverishing the country through which.he has passed, •as well as destroying two important lines of railroad. A Washington despatch says that Sherman has accomplished all and more than was expected of • him. Gen. Grant also concurs in this opinion; -and says he has deprived the rebels of food and forage sufficient to Subsist an army for six months. Charleston despatches to the 6th, report tl.e continued bom bardment of the city. A Wilmington despatch states that a "blockade steamer', had sunk off Cape Fear. Whether one of our fleet is meant,or one of the blockade runners, is not clear. A despatch from Savannah claims that our forces in Flor ida had been driven from Camp Finne gan back on Jacksonville. Probably on ly an outpost skirmish. We-give some interesting extracts from the papers in relation to Gen. Kilpatrick's raid, the killing of Col. Dahlgren and the papers alleged to have been found on his body. The body of the Colonel had been brought to Richmond. , The Richmond Examiner says that Colonel Dablgren was killed at Walker ton, and that he received two bullets in his head, two in his body and one in his hand. The body of the gallant gentle man was stripped naked and left lying on the road. The Whig urges that persons captured from General Kilpatrick's corn ! 'nand should not be treated as prisoners of war, and is guilty of the horrible at rocious recommendation that "this day's sun should not go down "before every scoundrel taken is blown to "atoms from the cannon's motith." It is doubtless owing to this truculent denunciation that these prisoners have been placed in irons by the Rebel authorities. The President presented to General Grant his commission as Lieutenant Gen eral. The ceremony took place iu the Cabinet Chamber in the presence of the entire Cabinet. The brief speeches of the Presldentin presenting and General Grant m receiving the edmmissrm. were highly pertinent to the occasion.' A lawyer wrote "rascal" iii 'the hat of a brother lawyer, who, on discovering it, entered a complaint in open court against the trespasser, who, he said, had not on:1 ly taken his hat, but had written his own name in it. A negro went to the lake in Druid Hill -Park, near Baltimore, on Thursday, and killed a half dozen of the beautiful swans placed there for ornamant. He said he thought they were .wild geese, and he had a right to kill them. He was taking the entire load to Baltimore to sell, supposing he had captured a splendid prize.

Columbia lost the im provement and a patronage of at least $40,000, per ye-tr. Colombians curse, and repeat . : lay the blame all on one man, and then "dry up," until sonic other stranger comes along who wants a wharf, and then the tragedy is enacted over again. It is a well known fact that there is not one-fourth - as much wharf room in town, accessible to canal boats, as is actually , necessary to accoMmodate the coal trade at present; and it is a well known fact that said trade is increasing. Who is to blame for the scarcity of wharfs, when we have nearly a mile of navigable river in our front ? I ant not . aware of any proclamati n to the effect; yet our port is oomph y blockaded, (not by gunboats,) but I • bonafi lti sa . n.lbanks.— t t There has beet 4 ', 1 t0 attack on our wharfs by canal boa ' f_tr many years; and should our ewe t•istftly city fathers stick ..... .. !

If this is true our board of councilmen must be a set of accommodating chaps, and if they will apply the .sa,tne rule to the levying of taxes; I presume we will never be troubled with tax collectors again. The human family are so constituted that cer tain individuals have to be forced into the performanceof theirjustd Attics, which they owe to thp,publie. This happens in building railroads; .some have to be forced to relinquish the right of way. It also happens in boroughs and cities, when persons are compelled to grade and pave the walks in front of their lots ; but what kind of regulations would a borough have, fi the council would prevent every lot owner from-wading and paving, because [ souse one or more of the lot owners were ' opposed to such, improvements. It must be apparent to all, that the building of the towing path at the out-let locks some thirty yards from the original shore, and thereby forming eddy below the bridge is the cause of our wharfs filling up with sand.
