The Quotas and the Draft. Wo are at last becoming enlightened as to the mofus operandi by which quo tas are arrived at, —not through Fry's orders, for a man might have read his circumlocutionary expositions for an entire academy quarter without being any wiser, but by a report of a Board of Officers specially appointed to in vestigate the matter. From this it appears that tho call is for 300,000 men, independent of the credits of ex cess on former drafts, or to make the matter plainer, the call is actually for about 400,000. of whom say 100,000 are already credited, and the remain der are apportioned among the several districts according to the number of men enrolled on the olst of December last. The whole is based on a service of one year, so that a three years man is equal to three one year's men in the credits allowed, but so far as the pre sent call is concerned a three or two years' man counts no more than a one year, though should there be a future call the districts furnishing the longer terms will then be entitled to a credit: ■ Dodge's Defence. An attempt was made at Harrigburg last week to defend Captain Dodge's conduct towards recruits in the late cold weather, and though his subordi nates swear quite pointedly to his "fatherly care" of soldiers, there are some points we cannot understand, lor instance Lieut. Liedtke swears thej* aro '-better taken care of," under the circumstances, '-than they them selves can ask to be," and Captains Cottrell,Handlett and Follis, and Lieut. Power swear that "recruits" had plen ty to eat, with blankets, straw, and as much wood as they desired to burn, that they were offered sleeping room at the Soldier's Best in llarrisburg, and that they declined. There is a "dodge" in this worthy of note, in that it has exclusive reference to men mustered in, and not to the company which arrived from this place, tor we assert, and can prove it that on the memorable Tuesday night these men speak of no accommodation whatever in the shape of blankets or other com forts were furnished Captain Selhei iner's men. These officials may shield themselves and superior behind red tape in this matter, but when they speak of "humanity" in connection with it they overshoot the mark, tor no man of set of men with a spark of it would suffer human brings to under go what those men did, whether mus tured in or net. The Broad Top Coal Regions The U. S. Rail and Mining Journal says: The Broad Top Semi-bituminous Coal Region, notwithstanding the hin drances consequent from the inability of the Pennsylvania Railroad to fur nish power, in time and measure equal to the wants of the Broad Top trade —the trunk road being wholly inade quate to the movement of the traffic of fered at its many sources of business supply—in the year 1864 increased its product over the preceding year, 80 - 966$ tons. The Broad Top coal region was opened to the market in 1856, and consequently 1864 was its ninth vear of trade; from 42,000 tons of coal in 1856, it increased its product in 164 to 386,645. The Cumberland, Maryland, coal re gion was opened to market in 1842, and in its eleventh year, to wit, 1852, its tonnage was 334,178, bejng 52,467 tons less than the Broad Top in its ninth year. This comparison is made, not in disparagement of the Cumbeland re gions, which in 1860, the year before the war, forwarded to market 788,909 tons of coal; but simply to show that the growth of the trade of the Broad Top region has been more rapid than was the trade of its neighbor in Mary land. The quantity of coal forwarded from the Broad Top region in all the nine years of its development is here in given : 1864, 386,645 tons 1859, 130,595 tons 1863, 305,687 " 1858, 105,478 << 1862, 334,135 " 1857, 78,812 1861, 272,625 " j 1856, 42,000 1860, 187,853 I r*cts About the 7 30s— The Advanta ges they offer. THEIR Aasofcm Stccmrrx.—Nearly all active credits | are now based on Government securities, and banks hold them as tho very best and strongest inve-tment • they can make. It"'- were possible to contemplate the ! financial failure of the Government, no bank would be anv safer. If money is loaned on individual note-" or bond and mortgage, it will be payable in the same cur rency as the Government pays ith. and no better. The Government never lias failed to meet its engagements, and the national debt is a first mortgage upon the whole property of the country. While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a greater per cent., Government stocks are always comparatively firm, j Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all other se curities; fur while a thousand speculative bubbles rise and burst, as a rule they are never below par, and are often above. Irs LIBERAL INTEREST. —The general rate of interest is s.x per cent., payable annually. 7Vm- is seven and ; three-tenths, payable semi annually. If you lend on j mortgage, there must be a searching of titles, lawyers' ] fees stamp duties and delays, and you will finally have j returned to you only the same kind of money you would receive from the Government, and lessof it. If | you investinthis loan, you have no trouble. Any bank j or banker will obtain it for you without charge. To | each note or bond are affixed five -coupons" or inter est tickets due at the expiration of each successive half-year. The holder of a note has simply to cut off one of these coupons, present it to the nearest bank or Government Agency, and receive his interest; the note itself need not be presented at ail. Or a coupon thus payable will everywhere be eqni vaient when due, to money. If you wish to borrow ninety cent 3on the dollar upon the notes, you have the highest security in the market to do it with, if you wish to sell, it will bring within a fraction of cost and interest at any moment. It will be very handy to have in the house. IT IS CONVERTIBLE into a six per cent, gold-bearing bond. At the expiration of threeyear* a holder of the notes of the 7-3o Loan has the option of accepting pay ment in lull or of funding his notes in a six per cent, gold-interest bond, the principal payable in not less than five, nor more than twenty years front its date, as the Government may elect. These bonds are held at such a premium as to make this privilege now worth two or three per cent, per annum, and adds so much to the interest. Note- of the same class, issued three years ago. are now selling at a rate that fuliy proves the correctness of this statement. ITS EXEMPTION FROM STATE OR MUNICIPAL TAXATION.— But aside from all the advantages we have enumera ted, a special Act of Congress exempts all bends and Treasury notes from 'oca? t ixatv.n. On the average this exemption is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. IT IS A RATIOSAL SAVINGS BAXS— While this loan pre sent? great ajvaiuage.- to large capitalists, it offers special inducement.- to those who w -h to malicasafe and profitable investment of -mall savings. It i- in every way the bo-t Savings' Bank; for every -ustiiu tton of this kind must somehow invest its deposits profitably :n order to pay inter* st and expense-. They will invest largely in this loan, a- the best investment. But from the gross intere.-t which they receive, they must deduct largely fur the expenses of the Bank. Their usual rate of interest allowed to depositors i- 5 per cent, upon sums over SSOO. The person who in vests directly with Government will receive almost 50 per cent. more. Thus the man who deposits f luOO in a private .Saving-' Bank received 50 dollar- a year in terest; if he deposit? the same sum in this National Savings* Bank he receives 73 dollars. For those who wish to find a safe, convenient and profitable means of investing the surplus earnings which they have re served for their old age or for the benefit of their children, there i- nothing which presents so many ad vantages as this National Loan. THE HIGHEST MOTIVE —The war is evidently drawing to a close, but whiie it lasts the Trea-ury must have money to meet its cost, and every motive that patriot ism can inspire should induce the people to supply its wants without delay. TheGovernmentcan buy cheap er for cash in hand than on credit. Let us see that us wants are promptly and liberally satisfied. WAR N*EW S . Capture, of Columbia, S. C. The followiog is taken from the Kieb mond Dispatch of Feb. 16 : Sherman marched into and took possession of the city yeEterday morning. This intelligence was communicated yesterday by Gen. Beauregard in our of £cial dispatch. Columbia is situated on the North branch of the Congaree river just below the con fluence of the .Saluda and Broad rivers, from Gen. Beauregard's dispatch, it appears that on Thursday evening the enemy approached the south bauk of the Congaree and threw a number of shells into the city. During the night they moved up the river and yesterday morning forded the Saluda and Broad rivers. Whilst they were crossing these rivers our troops, under Gen. Beauregard, evacuated Colum bia. The enemy soon after took posses ion. Through private sources we learn that two days ago, when it was decided not to attempt the defence of Columbia, a large of medical stores which it was thought impossible to remove were destroy ed. The female employees of the Treasury Department had been previously sent off to Charlotte, N.C. e presume the Treasury lithographic establishment wasalso removed although as to this we have no positive information. The fall of Columbia ne cessitates, we presume, the evacuation of Charleston, which we think likely is already in process of evacuation. It is impossible to say where Sherman will next direct his columns. The general opinion is that he will go to Charleston and establish a base, but we confess that we do not see what need he has of a base. It is to be presumed that he is subsisting on the country, and he has had no battle to exhaust his ammuni tion. Before leaving Savannah he declar ed it his intention to march to Columbia, thence to Augusta, and thence to Charles ton. This was uttered as a boast, and to hide his designs. \\ e are disposed to believe that he will next strike at Charlotte, which is a hundred miles north of Columbia on the Charlotte and Columbia railroad, or at Uorence, South Carolina, the junctioh of the Columbia and Wilmington railroad some ninety miles east of Columbia. From Richmond. Headquarters Army of James, February 17, 1865. Deserters from the Confederate army arriving at headquarters state that this morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, a company from each regiment of Stewart's brigade of Pickett's division, were sent out to advance their picket lines about 150 yards, in order to strengthen as well as straighten their line on the Bermuda Hundred front f opposite the position held by the 2d Pennsylvania heavy artillery. On being discovered they were fired upon by oar pickets, and after about twenty shots they retired to their own lines. The party making the attempt are reported as having teen supplied with entrenching tools to thruw up works for their defence, and when fired upon retreated in the utmost disorder, not waiting to return our fire. Their loss is not known. Nine hundred and eighty three Union prisoners, including ten officers, mostly trom Danville, came down from Richmond on the rebel steamer William Allison to Cox s Landing. 1 hey were received and cared for by Lieutenant A S. Merrill, acting assistant quartermaster at these headquarters About five o clock, as the Allison wason her return trip to Richmond, and when a short distance above fort Rrady, she struck a torpedo, which exploded and completely wrecked her. She had on board 213 pack ages of blankets and a number of other artic.es for the prisoners; belonging mostlv to the State of Indiana. The loss of life :is not known. There i 9 no change in the weather, and the roads are very had, owing to the continual rains. CITY POINT, Feb. 17. Night before last there was cjuite a heavv artillery and musketry fire beard on the j ielt of the Army of the James, indicating heavy picket skirmishing, if nothing more; and yesterday we had the gratifying intell i igence that some little hostilities bad taken place, resulting in the capture of a J regiment. They are now en route for this , point, and will, no doubt, reach here to | day. By a "rebel regiment," however, j must not he understood the full complement | of a thousand and ten men; a rebel regi ment that numbers three hundred men is j considered to be, numerically, an efficient 1 organization. An official dispatch from Gen. Git more says the city of Charleston and all its defences came into our posses sion on the morning of the l*th inst., with about two hundred pieces of good artillery and a supply of fine ammuni tion. ; Gov. Stone, of lowa, announces that the .Mate has filled her quota uuder the : existing call. —Jaines Buchanan's income, as published in the list in the Lancaster papers, is §ll, ! in. —An election fora memberof the Pennsy'- : vania Legislature, in place of Mr. Reed, deceased, was held on the 24th ult. in Washington and Beaver Counties.

Mr Glass of | Janesville, \\ isconsio, writes for the ben I °f all who suffer with the piles, that he J bag beeu troubled for eight years with an ag : gravated ease of piles, and his brother was | discharged from the army as incurable, (he | being quite paralyzed with the piles ) Both these distressing cases were cured with one j bottle of Dr. Strickland's Pile Remedy. The I recommendation of these gentlemen, beside the daily testimonials received by Dr. Strick j .and. ought to convince those suffering, that the most aggravated chronic cases of Piles . are cured by Dr. Strickland's Pile Remedy, i It is sold by druggists everywhere. 2. A Positive and Interesting Fact.— "facts are stubborn things," no matter j where found. It is a positive and at the same i time an interesting fact, that our sick soldiers ■ who are so fortunate as to obtain a bottle of I Pinkertun's \\ ahoo and C'alisaya Bitters, ! gain strength much faster, and' are sooner able to do duty on the battle field, than those who are deprived of them. This is owing to i the stubborn fact that these Bitters are the greatest renovator and purifier ever offered to the public. This is no idle talk. N'o one ever used these Bitters but was highly de lighted with the beneficial results arising from tbeir daily use. We are glad t learn that steps are being tsken to supply the sick j soldiers in our camps and hospitals with 1 these Bitters. It is a humane and benevo | lent object. Druggists and wholesale deal . ers always have these Bitters fur sale. The | genuine aaticle has the name of Jacob Pink i erton blown on each bottle. 2t To Consumptives.
