THE CONING DRAFT,
. _
As °lngress has risen to the patriotism
tharthe exigencies of the hour demand,
,ed hare repealed the commutation clause,
it beccirnow our duty as a loyal people to
take steps at once to . raise a sufficient
number of volunteers, &a., to free us from
the draft. The only way in Which this
be effected is for .our 'Borough to of
fer.
a liberal bounty, mos that will induce,
men to leave their homes and employ
ments to enter the service of their vOtiil
try.
There arc many reasons which should
stir Mt to prompt action.
I. PATZIOTLS3I.—Our br.etLerti in the
field have been •exhibiting einwouted pa
triotism, and with the consciousness of a
just cause, they have st:lick such Wows
es to drive the rebels to At vicinity of
their hut ditch. It has .cost men ti, do
this, as strong works tad to be carried ur
turned, and herculean labor had to be
performed. While, therefore, our suc
cess has been gradual and sure, still u re
serve army thrown, upon any of the ene
my's weakened points ;would hasten the
final collapse of the rebellion. Surely, he
he is the best patriot who now assists iu
strengthening our armies by his amass or
personal service.
4. Otrs. INrEttErrs.—To fill our quota
by volunteering will affect our interests
little compared with the rigor or en abso
late draft /f the draft is absolute, us it
will and ought to be, men 'will be drafted
Whom our material interests can illy spare,
and others will be dragged from their
families, leaving theta to suffer pangs more
painful than death, making but poor sol
diers and creating intense dissatisfaction.
But *liquid a liberal bounty be provided,
tail will be found willing . to go, our ar
mies will be filled no, our material inter
eats will continue to prosper, and families
that otherwise would be dcsoiate, xv.vuld
be at least coutfortuide.

AU over tie Autry hurge bounties are
paid. Otte own citizens 1140. gene else
where, in , "scores, and enlisted, and will

large teats from a diminished number.
Nen do Ads, not because there is less pa.
triotism in the land now than three years
ago, but tax.me the condition of the
country 1s ehtuageti.,_Then business was
stagnant, prices were loWonen were out

Voder these circumstances, it is natai
al 4Utti. Amp should be loth to leave their
bones, knowing that the soldier's wags
is slot sufficient to supply the ulnas ;of
those they teave behind.
Renee, the duty of ofrer'itig a bounty
is ,obvious. And as the f .iispeeted dra ft ,
mill he a draft indeed,(we bad better get
to worh at once tolproride for all ewer•
genies.----l A et the borough authorities of
bounty of 300 or $4OO, and its citi
sans, old on'd yeAng, cr.etupt9 and non
erupts, vie .with each other to procure
men, and in it/ ry days Columbia will
stand fair in the sight of the world. Let
his be up and .doing, and don't let tbe
draft come and Sud us napping. "A.
pord to the wise is sufficient!' •
Let 'tonne flatter himself that he is not
interested iu this matter, for the queetiOn
.between freedom and slavery must be de-
Aided by the force of arms, and this being
the case,"it is self-evident that, if the
former calls of the government had been
promptly met, the question would have
heat settled ere this, but a tardy spirit
prelailing amongst those who flatter them
selves that they have no personal interest
In the matter on account of age, and our
tirscies have not been suSciently /ergo to
meet and crush the rebellion, and those
who were at first exempt, such as school
,directors, and a host of others, now find
itatexast'li:v called upon to perform milita
ry duty, The time will soon come when
wothing. twig= age nor condition, will
exempt 6ut absolute physical disability.

featly in private is taking quite a liberty
' with the feelings of those who are pres
' eat. How muclimore so Must it be whets
' it is made so public as to s o und arourid
lbr-hundreda of yards, - as this very
Bleat aat
_been done; and, Mr. Editor, i
is the second time this has been done
within the few minutes since I have be
gun to write this sheet, and by a different
person likewise? I sun afraid that - 1
would not be believed sr7re I to say how
many times itt the day .I hear oaths and
imprecations, not privately made, but
publicly, bemuse made so as to be heard
for hundreds of feet all around. Let any
one living on Front street, between Lo
cust aid Walnut. give attention to this,
and it will be evident that this public im
propriety, to cull it by the mildest name,
is so frequent as that it ought to be a
shame to all, as it is now a pain to, I yen :
ture to say, very many. As a communi
ty, recognizing.the existence of God, we
should, and I fir one do, f e el mortified
that profanity is so public.
Shall we not all, at least some of us,
endeavur to win those who thus express
themselves to a less offensive mode of ex
pressiou ? Perhaps Whilst men are under
the influence of liquor nothing can be
done with them, and it might be useless 1 ,
to speak to them upon the impropriety of
public profanity. But as to those who are
sober, it seems to MC, they may be ap
proached upon this subject, and a little
kindly remark might be fruitful of good
in this respect. •
If men have no concern for propriety
as regards themselves, have they alone for
women and children ? Is profanity to be
so common that t/ey shall think nothing
of it? Will not the next step be that
they themselves will become profane ?
And then what a possible picture to con
template that your wife and little girls
shall express themselves around your ta
ble and your fireside, as now you, and,
perhaps, already your boys, do on the
street! And why not ? If you, in doing
nothing to dissipate profanity, permit its
growth, if possibly, you are profane your
self, why should nut your wife and girls,
the very least of them be profane too?
Are not you their example? Let us take
hold of this impropriety, take hold of it
kindly, but coarageously and hopefully.
I believe in the victory of the good. , Vice,
notwithstanding its violence, lacks real
vim ; but a gracious spirit, notwithstaml-
ing its seetning skantiness of strength, is,
niter all, the besi power' to mike' intiro
priety into propriety. J.
MR. EDITOR :—ilany persons have
gained an enviable distinction by sending
to the Sanitary Fair at Philadelphia rare
and valuable articles, which have com
manded enormous prices and contributed
greatly - to the immense amount of money
realized 11)r the benefit of the poor sol
dier.
But much as some of these articles
have attracted the attention and admira
tion of the wonder-loving people of our
ountry, it is regrvted, that a few articles
in the posessiuu of some of our good
citizens of Columbia were not also con
tributed and sold, fordoubtless they would
have been purchased at large sums, on ac
coun tof their great novelty and excellence.
Firstly—we can boast of a stick or walk
ing euue that posesses the wonderful
power of exempting the holder from a
draft whenever he chooses to use it for
that purpose—next, a truss of peculiar
manufacture, that can at any time pro
duce a patent rupture or hernia as good
us the genuine, and save the sufferer from
marching in defence of his country, no
matter how patriotically inclined--
thirdly, a splendid sett of false teeth so
remarkably strong, and wonderfully made
aelto bite a ten-peony nail, yet notenough
so for "hard tack," or cartridges, by
which the owner, if he does not want to
go is constrained to - stay incoutiuently .
at home. ..Two experiments have been
made with successful results and the sett
i can therefOre be Warreinted.'as not to fail.
Fourthly—a telegraph wire that trans
mits promptly all news unfavorable to the
Union cause, and utterly refuses to eon
-vey that Algal iii 'favorable, and calcu
lated to cheer all loyal hearts.
Fifthly—and lastly—a man five feet
eight inches in his stocking feet, sound
teeth, mind, limb and body, and so ron
derfullv made that "Uuele Sam" can af
ford to . dispense : With bisserrices,ulthough
he wants just such "chaps"' "away down
in Dixie. If there is any hocus pocus,
whereby a poor disconsolate "fellow," an
' itwerieg the above description, just draf
ted, can get off without either paying
three hundred dollars or shouldering a
musket, please inform the undersigned
through the columns of the "Spy."
There are doubtless many other curi
osities of a similar character that could
be obtained at the Pro-sour Marshal's
office, in Laucaster, but these are deemed
sufficient fur the present to form the nu
cleus of a small museum on the Barnum
plan; if our excellent citizen Captain
"Ussery would undertake the measure,and
add thereto the eabi let vie uri osi ti ea which
he has gotten up so handsomely.

ment,at any period not lees ten_ than nor
I more titan forty years from their date, and
untiltheit redemption FIVE PER CE:s.. - T..
INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN,
on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars
annually and on all other Bonds semi-an
nually. The interest is payable on the first
days of March and September in each year
Subscribers will receive either Register
ed or Doupon Bonds, as they may prefer.
Registered Boridsare recorded on the books .
of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be tranfer
rod only on the owner's order. Coupon
Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more
convenient for eicifitnercial uses. •
Subscribers to this loan will have the op
tion of having their Bonds draw interest
from March Is;, by paying the accrued in
terest in coin—(or in United States notes,
or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty
per, cent. for premium,) or receive them
drawing interest from the date of subscrip
tion and deposit. As those Bonds tire
Exempt from liipaidpal or State Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three
per cent, per annurn,-aceording to the rate
of tax levies in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold
they pay
Over Eight Per Cent Intent
in currency, and are of equal convenience
as a permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties or stock companies or
separate corn 'ties only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country
is holden to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin..
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from .550 up to any magnitude, on the
same terms, and are thus made equally
available to the smallest lender and th
largest capitalist. They eau be converted
into money at any moment, and the holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connec
tion that the total Funded Debt of the 'Doi
ted States on which interest is payable In
gold, on the 3il day of March, 1864, was
$768,905,000. The interest on this debt for
the coining fiscal year will be $43,937.40,
while the customs revenue in gold for the
current fiscal year, ending June 80th, 1564,
hits been so far at the rate of over $lOO,OOO,
000 per annum.
It will be seen that even thepresent gold
revenues of the Government air largely in
excess of the wants of the Treasurer forthe
payment of gold interest, while the recent
increase of the tariff will doubtless raise
the annual receipts from customs on tile_
sameantount ofinaportations, tosAo,ooo,ooo
