Congress is engaged in amend ing the Conscription Law, it is a mat ter ut surprise that some one has not noticed the gross injustice now done in recognizing the crediting of men enrolled in one district into another where their names do not at all appear, and yet claiming the lull number from the districts thus depleted. Xothing ot this kind ought to bo suffered ajttr the quota is fixed, because it bears in justice upon its thee. For instance, it is probable that more than the quota required under the call for 300,00U have already enlisted from this county, while it is doubtful whether more than one in ten is credited to it. Surely. equity, common honestly, and com mon sense ought to dictate a different courso, and have a stop put to a meas ure which, in case of a draft, will en tail wide spread disaster and distress in many districts throughout the State which cannot enter into competition in the matter ot local bounties with the richer cities and towns. Take Philadelphia as a sample : there the very railroad companies which derive their profits from the trade and travel of the interior are subscribing thou sands of dollars to decoy our colored population into enlisting and being credited to the city, while others are being enticed to other States; and bounties tar beyond the reach of coun ty towns are offered to our whites. Such competition is beyond the means ot rural districts, and shows conclu sively that some legislation 011 this subject is nece.'sary. ZS'or does the evil stop here. Many have left their families who will, before the summer is half over, need help in various ways. To them the relief fund is closed, for they have not the shad dow of a claim on it; and thus in ad dition to the hardships of a draft from a depleted number, the communitv most injured in this way- will be called upon to exercise more than an ordi nary share of benevolence. —Provost Marshal Campbell, of this District, has been removed, and Oupt. A. M. Lloyd of Altoona, appointed in his stead. Ihe inauguration of the Union IState officers, chosen by the Arkansas Convention, took place in the Senate Chamber, at Little Rock, on the 22d ult. Governor Murphy, on taking the oath, made an impressive address. 1 iie Maiden hank robber and mur derer has been arrested in the person of Edward \V . Green, the postmaster of the place. lie has confessed to his gudt, and most of the stolen tnonev has been recovered. Mr. Green is 27 years old, and has a wife and one child. He has heretofore borne a good char acter. A Traitor's Reward. —The Carlise Democrat says, a man named Isaac Fishcl, a citizen of York county, was brought to Carlisle Barracks, on Sat urday last, under sentence of death, bv eourt martial. Fishel was tried at Charabersburg, some days since, upon the charges of desertion, and of pilot ing Fitz Hugh Lee through York county, last summer, and sentenced to be shot at this post. We understood he will be executed on the 18th inst. 1 ekin, China, haa the oldest newspa per in the world. It has been published for one thousand years, and is printed on a large sheet of eiik. The Banking System. Ono of the greatest evils in this country in monetary affairs undoubt edly was the chartering of a large number of State banks; and severe as has been the lesson to almost every lo cality, but few legislators have seemed to profit by it. It is true, those now in operation under the free banking system, or founded 011 mortgages on good real estate are in a measure safer than those dependent on the honesty and integrity of their managers, }-et so far as local interchange of money is concerned, nearly all are useless. In Philadelphia or Pittsburgh it is a rare sight to see bank notes of that citj*. just as it is a rare sight here to see a Mifflin County Bank note. We have plenty of others from adjoining and even distant States, and rather a su perabundance of Crawford County Bank, Venango Bank, Tioga 'Bank, and various others in out-of-the-way places, which one-half of the people try to get rid of as soon as possible, because they do not trust to lay them away tor any length of time. Now, why is this so? We are told that the Mifflin county Bank has §BO,OOO in cir culation, but where is it? Many a poor man who is now paid in soire dis tant concern, knowing tho bank and its securities, would probably try and save it were he paid in its notes, just as he tries to save a greenback, because he has confidence that the good old government which issues them will turn right side up, no matter what oc curs. The truth is tiie system we have alluded to, namely, of circulating notes at a distance from the places of issue, has rendered the State Bank system both unpopular and suspicious, so much so that ninety-nine out of a liundrcd now desire a currency like the green backs, which are good anywhere and everywhere through the country, from Maine to Texas. And, for our part, we are sorry that Congress adopted any other system. The "First Nation al Bank of" this or that place, may be safe enough, and good enough, but to our mind nothing looks so well, feels so safe, or comes so near a jingle, as " Tlx Lnited States promises to pay." | With them in pocket, a man feels as if he had MONEY, and would as soon expect to hear that a whale had swal lowed the Allegheny mountains as that "Uncle Sam" had broke. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. The House of Representatives on Friday resumed the consideration of the joint resolution of July, 1862, explanatory of the Confiscation act, and after some debate it was adopted—yeas 81, nays 76 The effect of the amendment is that there shall be no preceedings under the act contrary to the Constitution of the United States, provided that no other public warning or proclamation under the act of July, 1862, chapter 95, section 6, is or shall be required than the proclamation of the President made ami published by him on the 25th ! of July, 1862, which proclamation so tnade shall be received and held sufficient in all j cases now pending, or which may hereafter j arise under said act. The bill reported in the House by Mr. llale, from the Committee on Claims, to pet compensation from the Government tor damages to property by the armies, pro vide.s for appointing a commissioner and solicitor in the States where such damages to property have occurred; salaries 82,500. 1 hey may employ clerks and marshals. Claims must be presented within three years. The claims must set forth amount of loss, with circumstances and names of military officers connected therewith. The title of the property must be shown. The solicitor shall represent the interests of the Government in the premises. Witnesses may be summoned. Slaves loss, Ac., not to be considered in the matter of damages; nor shall any person who lias aided "the Rebellion derive any benefits from the act. Mr. llale also reported back Mr. Fen ton s hill to facilitate the payment of boun ties and arrears of pay, which was passed It provides that on the death of officers, non-commissioned officers, privates, and other enlisted men, it shall be the duty of the proper officers to furnish to the Second Auditor a critical statement of the date of death and full particulars of the military history of the deceased, together with the amount of arrears of pay, bounty, clothing, &c.j to be paid on certificate by any pay master of the army. The same course is to be pursued in cases of persons dyio tr in the hospitals. All pay and bounties under the act of March, 1863, due to persons discharged, or who may be discharged, from the army within two years by reason of wounds shall be adjudicated by the Commissioners of Pensions under the rules governing invalid pensions, and on the certificate issued by him payment shall be made fy any paymaster of the army. Colt's pistol factory, at Hatford, Connecticut, was destroyed by fire on Friday morning. The fire broke out in the polishing room, and destroyed the oldest and largest building of'the factory. The new factory, in which Minnie rifles are manufactured, was saved. Beside the valuable machinery extensive buildings a large amount ot finished work was destroyed. The loss is stated at various amounts, from one to two millions of dollars. WA R NEWS. A despatch received by Major General Butler from Xewberu shows that the rebels are making active movements in that vicinity. They held the railroad between Newbern and Moorchead City, and had our outr-osrs at Evans' 31 ill surrounded, but later intelligence, contained in a de spatch from General Butler to the Secre tary of War announces that the enemy have Ellen back toward Kingston, and that Newborn is relieved. A despatch to the Cincinnati Commercial states that eight thousand deserters have been received within the lines of the Army of the Cumberland since General Thomas took command, and the writer of a letter from Knoxville to the same paper says that he has already administered the oath to one thousand, two hundred and thirty ' nine. 1 he Mississippi river is closely watched by guerillas. Not long since they whipped up a foraging party of seven sent out at Bolivar landing. Firing on boats is regu lar} kept up, but with little damage. Ten guerillas were captured a few days ago north of Lewisburg. There are 7,481 rebel prisoners at Bock Island, Illinois. Of these, 501 have taken ! the oath and entered the United States ! naval service. A reconnuisance in force was made by the Army ot the I'otomac on Saturday i last, General Kilpatrick crossed at Culpepper ; bord and scoured the country from Jacob's Ford to near Fredericksburg, finding noth- I iug but cavalry pickets of Hampton's di | vision, nearly all of whom they captured. A detachment of the 2d New York cav alry went up to Jacob's Ford, where they huii learned there was a sergeant and nine men. They captured three of them. Kilpatrick's command, having accom plished the purpose for which it was sent, returned to camp next day at noon. General Warren crossed the Third Di vision of the Second Corps at Morton's I ord on Saturday,with little or no opposition. Ihe Second Division of the same corps crossed, and attempted to join the Third in a piece of woods on the left of the ford. 1 lie rebels then opened upon thetu with musketry front the right of the ford, where they had been concealed in another piece ot woods. The night was dark, rainy and foggy, and the firing of each party was di rt cted by the flash ot the guns of their op ponents. During the night, after the firing had ceased, our men were ordered to return across the river, which they did without molestation. Merritt's First Division of cavalry, which went to Burnett's Ford, towards Madison Court House, met some of Stuart's cavalry and skirmished with them, the whole di vision excepting those left on picket being on hand. Our forces advanced and found the reb el cavalry backed by infantry. Gen. Mer lit pitched in, and drove the whole force before him across Robertson's river to Mad ison Court House. The command held the ford all day, and then, in obedience to orders, came back to headquarters, having captured eight or ten prisoners. \\ hen our troops pushed across Ger tnania Ford, they found the rebel rifle pits in that immediate vicinity occupied by but 25 pickets, who threw down their arms and surrerdered, stating that there was no rebel force within 10 miles of their posi tion. Immediately thereafter our forces pushed ahead in the direction of Orange C H., but had hardly progressed two miles when they were opened on from 12 guns. At tacking the rebel force working and sup porting these guns, we drove them from their position with considerable loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, our loss be ing 35 in the affair. The mass of our infantry then re-crossed the Rapidan, leaving a force to hold the rifle pits first takeu, probably until the op erations of our cavalry, that had marched by a different route, had terminated. The rebel steamer Preston, from Nas sau, attempted to run into Charleston on the 2d, Our gunboats opened a heavy fire on her at daybreak and kept it up all day. She will be a total wreck. Despatches from West Virginia state that our forces, under Col. Mulligan, sent in pursuit of the rebels, under Gen. Early, after six hours hard fighting drove the enemy from Moorefield, and then sharply engaged Gen. Rosser, on the south hank of the Potomac. It is said that we have taken a number of prisoners, and that our success has been sigDal and brilliant. The Nashville Union of the 2d inst. an nounces that a portion of Gen. Grant's army has crossed the Tennessee river at Larkinsvilie, Ala. Larkinsville is a station on the Mobile and Charleston Railroad, about thirty-five miles west of Stevenson. The Union intimates that the expedition is intended to capture the manufacturing town of Rome, Georgia. A despatch from Fort Smith, Ark., dated February, 3, says that a terrific storm swept over the entire Southwest last Sunday. About 11 o'clock in the morning, it rose to a tornado, which raged with tremendous violence some twenty minutes, and extend ed over a portion of the Indian Territory and down the Arkansas Valley Immense damage was done. The telegraph wires were prostrated for miles. The line to Little Rock was almost totally destroyed. The river is booming. The rise has amount ed to eight feet thus far since Saturday night. The reeounoissanee of Geu. Meade's army was made in connection with a movement on the peninsula, Gen. But ler's troops having approached within ten miles of Richmond and created a great scare there on Saturday and Sunday last. Wo learn from Knoxville that Thom as and his baud of Indians and whites at Quullatown, have boon surprised by the Union forces, who killed and wounded a large number. —The Admiralty Court at Tlalifax has decided to restore the Chesapeake and her cargo to her owners, subject to such conditions respecting the pay ment of expenses as the Attorney General may exact.
