HO ItUNDRED THOUSAND lionE.—Tbe President has again made an additional call for two hundred thousand men, mak ing, in all the calls, eight hundred thousand which will be a large army to corn mence with in the Spring, and end this "Cruel War." The news of this new draft will not surprise the people much, as symptoms of the same have been foreshadowed by ru mors from Washington a week past, and as it has now come, we know exactly how to act in the matter. As'the Government bounty. , has been extended to the Lith of April, there are encouragementsfor us to give a local bounty, also, so as to induce our young men to enlist, and fill Column bla's quota. Awake, from your slumbera, yeertergetic eitisaus; and start the ball in motion, for we have a month's time to do it in. Do not let our neighboring towns and townships leave us In the rear, but let rus - show them that we also am help our State authorities:to 154E11M:dr promise,by filling our quota.withvolantaers. This last call will increase our number to furnish, over two hundred, which when a draft oomes,will sweep our borough clean, with ..ontesspectto persons. We hopoourCoun plil will ego something in the matter. _ . A rniaappichenision exisls in many quarters as to the exchange of prlsoners which has j ustbeen reconiinended between the Federal and Rebel * authorities. It is supposed that one hundred Rebels are given up' in exchange 'for seventy.five Union soldiers. This is a mistake. The prisoners so fin- released under the new arrangement, are only paroled. When they come to be exchanged it will be man for man. - The paroling seems to be bas ed on the relative numbers held by the two sides, an escess,of about twenty-five per cent beiug held by the, North. It is paying but poor compliment to Gener al Butler's Yankee shrewdness to sup pose he could be so far outwitted as to agree to an exchange on any other than equal terms. General . lialleek is assigned to duty in Washington, as Chief of Staff of the Ar my, under direction of the Secretary of War and the Lieutenant General Com manding. President Lincoln has issued a new call for two hundred thousand men in addition to the number called for in Jan uary. The draft Nv o ill occur as after the 15th of April as practable. SD a.,.

Hare Yon a Con.oh! - Have Yon a Sore Throat! nave you anyof the premonitory symptoms of that most fatal disease, Con sumption ? Those who should be warned by these symptoms generally think lightly of them until it is too late. From this fact, perhaps mope than any other, arises the sad preva lence and fidelity of disease which sweeps to the grave at least "one sixth" of dea2h's victims. Consumption has destroyed more of the human family than any other disease, and the best physicians for many years have despaired Ora cure, ora remedy that would heal the lungs, but for more than two hun dred years the whole medical world has been impressed that there was a mysterious power and efficiency in the Pine Tree Tar to heal the lungs; therefore they have re commended the use of Tar Water, which in many cases had a good eflect; but how to combine the medical properties so ns to heal the lungs, has ever been a mystery until it was discovered by Dr. L. Q. C. WISHART, of Philadelphia, Pa.. the pro prietor of "Wishart's Pine Tree Cordial." Many, not only of the people, but phys iciztus of e VC' ry school and pract iee, are daily asking me "What is the principle or cause of your success in the treatment of Panto na ry Cbimuniption ?" My answer is this : The invigoration of the digestive organs —the strengthening of t he debilitated system —the pa rip ration and en riehment of the blood, must. expel from the system the cor ruption which scrofula breeds. Whileth is is effected by the powerinl alterative (chang iris thou disease to health) properties of the Tar Cordial, its 'waling and renovating principle Is also acting upon the irritated surfaces of the lungs and throat, penetra ting to each diseased part, relieving pain, subduing intlanuttion, and restoring a healthful tendeney. Let, t his two-fold pow er, the healing and thestrengthening, con tinue to act in conjunction with Nature's consOan I recuperative tendency. and the patient is saved, if lie has not too long de layed a resort to the means of cure. I ask allto read the following cirtificales. They are from men and women of unques- Lional,le worth and reputation : Dn. \Visruta•r—Dear I had a very dreadful cough and sore throat fur one your and my Whole system was fast giving way, and I was prostrated on may bed with but little hope of recovering.

Second street, and related my ease to you, purchased one bottle of your Pine Tree 'far Cordial, and I commenced to use it. and in one Week I. was much hetter;and after using three bottles, I am perfectly well, and a wonder to all my friends. for they all pronounced me past cure. Pub lish may ease if von think proper.
