4UO
We do not know whether any cred
its for surplus on previous draft or for
substitutes have been given, but pre
sume not. In that case the number
of men to be furnished would be less
than the above.
OUR SOLDIERS —Lieut. Crawford
Selheimer, of the Logan Guards, is i
lying in hospital at Indianapolis, seri- ;
ously wounded. His mother started i
for that city yesterday morning. The
others wounded in the Logan Guards j
are Sergt. Enos Rogers, privates John
A. Burner, Nicholas Nolte, and Mich-
Harris.
ITEMS. —Any one returning to this
office a fine French Merino ladies'
scarf, which was lost on Thursday last
between Strode's Mills and McVey
town, will receive thanks and be con
sidered as honest. Jacob F. Ham
aker's little hoy was kicked in the lace |
by a horse the other day. The cars
on the M. A C. C. R. R. run over two
sheep belonging to Mr. Slump, on Mon
day last, killing one and breaking the |
leg of the other. Carl Xeupert, a
German of very- good qualities, who
resided here for some years, is report
ed to have died suddenly in Pittsburgh
a few da\-s since. James Nichols,
esq., has purchased the establishment
of John Swan, where he will carry on
the business as usual. Rev. John
Leithead, late pastor of the Episcopal
church, is or, a visit here. Andrew
Sturgis, High Constable, having enter
ed the service, John L. Porter has been
appointed in his place. A fine show- ;
er fell last night, which, with a few pre- ;
vious light ones, will continue to impr've
the corn and potatoes. Rather am
phibious—dancing parties in the dog j
days. Thirty-six recruits towards
the borough's quota had been obtained
up to yesterday. Recruits are muster
ed in by Lieut. Willis, and the corn- j
rnittee bounty paid at once.
s>& We commence culling our list to
day. Those who get no paper, will
know the reasou.
The Rebels at M'ConnelLburg
The Fulton Republican notices the ad
vent of the rebels at M Connellsburg as
follows:
Soon after the rebels entered town on !
Saturday afternoon, they commenced plund
ering the stores, pillaging private houses,
and robbing citizens. They first demand
ed the key ot Dr. Duffielti's Drug Store. ;
which was given, to prevent them breaking '
open the door. Not content with taking
what they chose, they emptied the eon
tents of drawers, jars, ca.-es. Ac., OP the
floor, in a heterogeneous mass Private i
papers,accounts, and books shared the same j
fate The stores of .1 W. GreatheaJ, Cahill i
A Thompson. Hohe A Nace. and the Messrs
Shoemakers, were also visited and received
the same treatment.
The greater portion of the dry goods had
been removed from the store of Hohe A
Nace—which caused no little cursing and
swearing among the Chivalry—as they ex
pectid o reap a harvest from this establish
tucnt. The losses of Dr. DuffielJ, J W
Greathead, Cahili A Thompson, and A. A
D. Shoemaker, were very considerable
Most cf the private houses in town were
pillaged of clothes—and many citizens were
stripped and robbed in the streets and
roads. Money was demanded from every
one, the demand being accompanied in
most cases with threats of burning, or a
cocked revolver in close proximity with the
head.
The farmers in our valley were severe
losers. Squads of rebels scouted the
Cove, visiting nearly every house, stealing
money, clothes, women's apparel, jewelry
trinkets, Ac A demand was made on the
town for 2600 rations, which wassupplied as
far as the citizens were able, as we were
insecure of the burning of our town In
deed. it is now confidently believed, the de I
struction of this place was determined on and
would have been accomplished, had not

Who will read the above announcement
without a feeling of sadness that one so young
Ish'u d he called so noon away. Just in the
, springtime, when life wore its brightest as.
: pect. when earth was fairest rid its cares nn
known she was called to lav her young life
j down, to pass lr .111 light and sunshine to the
I silence and darkness of the tomb L veil for
j her many virtues, admired for a beaut v whose
! greatest charm was tier total unconsciousness
of its possession, her pleasant manners and
winning wave w 01 the hearts of all who
approached her How sad that the loveliest
things of earth should be the frailest, the
things we love the most should be the first to
perish. "G >d t .ok her Itst malice should
; corrupt." and child though she was in years,
the few last hours of her life showed her pus
I sussed of such depth of thought, as was a
; subject of astonishment to those around her.
! Pa'ient and resigned under the most acute '
| suffering, her greatest care was to comfort
1 and console her mother;—"mother, darling 1
! mother, how can I part from you." Who i
j that stood by that bed of death, and watcher! •
its shadows wrap over that fair young face,
and saw that bright young life die out wili 1
ever forget the thrilling tenderness with j
which these words were uttered And the
i farewell to her absent father, so touching in ;
its tones of love :—"Farher, dear father, how j
much I love him." Tenderly bidding fare
well to those present, and leaving messages !
for those absent, she expired, herself ready !
and willing to die, ' because God thought it |
best." Her last moments were passed in 1
prayer, and her last word was " mother " j
I Who can picture the agony of parents called
upon to part from such a child How cold
i and vain are human words to comfort grief ,
like theirs. So faded away the fair young j
flower, leaving us the memory of her sweet
ness, the example of her virtues, and the hope
ol meeting again in that better world, where
sorrow never enters.

r Seoretaiv of the Treasury gives notice that
I' 4 subscriptions will be received for Coupon Treasu
ry Notc-s, payable three years from August 15th, IS6A,
with semi-annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent, per annum—principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing
bonds, payable not less than five nor more than twen
ty years from their date, as the government may elect.
They will be issued in denominations of 550.5100, SSOO
SIOOO and SSOOO, and all subscriptions must be for fifty
dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of ;
! the original Certificates of Deposit as they can be pre- '
pared.
As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons ;
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay
the interest accrued from date of note to date of de
posit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time, will be al- I
lowed a commission of one quarter of one per cent., i
which will be pan! by the Treasury Department upon j
the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the !
: officer with whom the deposit was made. No deduc- !
tions for commissions must be made Irom the de
| posits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN.
IT re A N ATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a higher rate
of interest than any other, and tht best security. Any
i savings bank which pays its depositors in U. S. notes,
! considers that it is paying in the best circulating me
dium in the country, and it cannot pay in anything
belter, for its own assets are either in government
securities or in note>or bonds payable in
j paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma- j
• nent investment. The notes can always be sold for j
j within a fraction of their face and accumulated inter- j
jest. and are the best security with banks as collaterals ;
j for discounts.
Couvrrtible info a 6 per rtiiL §-20 Bond.
j In addition to the very libera! interest on the notes
for three years, this privilege of conversion is now
! worth about three per ceut. per annum, for the cur
! rent rate for $-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent.
I jnemn-m. and before the war the premium on six per
| cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty percent. It will !
be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres- j
ent market late, is not less man ten per cent, per an- j
num.
lis Exenijliou from StnD or Municipal Tux
aliofl.
But aside from all the advantages we have enumer
ated. a special Act of Congress exempts all bonds and
Treasury notes from local taxation . On the average,
this exemption is worth at out two per cent, per an
num, according to the rate of taxation in various parts
| of the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great in
due. ments to lenders as those issued by the govern
ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
or ability ot private parties, or stock companies, or
separate coiDinuuitieK only. i. pledged for payment,
while the whole property of the country is held to se
cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United
States.
While the government offers the most liberal terms
for its loans, it t>elieves that the very strongest appeal
w ill i>e to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.
The party depositing must endorse upon the original
certificate the denomination of the notes required,
and whether they are to be issued in blank or paya
ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with
the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to
the Treasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the Treasurer of
the United States, at Washington, the several Assist,
ant Treasurers and designated Depositories, aud by the
FirM National Bank of Ihiladi-ipliia, Pa.
