Which many have, at any cost.
To follow up the fashion.
Somo folks, of all things, dread the wont
To venture ou a course
Which eome one else has not tj ied first,

That the majority
Are always in their taotlcs wrong.

A middle pathway takes.

The President of the United States having, by his com- 1
mtmlcation of 9th instant, in response to propositions
submitted to him relating to the . recruiting service in
Pennsylvania, under his call of October 17th, ultimo,
for 900,000 men, approved of so much thereof as is com
prised under the following points:
It is ordered —
That the reoroitment of volunteers for the various Re
giments, now In the field, will be conducted according.
It, viz:
I. Details for recruiting service in the State will be
made of officers, of Pennsylvania regiments In the field
whose terms of,service expire in 1864. . To facilitate the,
recruitment of Quotas, such appointment of officers in
the field will be made by the Governor,' where practica*
ble, on the recommendation of duly, authorized commit
tees representing cities, boroughs, and townships, to re
cruit for their several localities. Theee recommendations -
should not, however, be made indiscriminately, but
with due regard to the character of the person named,
and his ability to perform the important duties of the
post,.
11. When practicable, old regiments will be relumed
to the State tojbe recruited. •
111. .The volunteers who shall be enlisted will remain
under the control of the Governor at such camps or ren
dezvous, and under Huch commanders as he may desig-
B ate, and until ready to-be sent to their regiments in ac
cordance with General Orders No. 7S of 1862.
. IY. Premiums , not. exceeding twenty-five dollara for:
veterans, and fifteen dollars /or new recruits, will be
paid to officers detailed for recruiting service from reri ;
ments in the field when the recruits are accepted by tbe
United States. Payment to be made by Lieut. GoL=
Bomford, U. S. A., Acting‘Assistant Provost Marshal
General. '
V. Volunteers furnished by cities or other locailtlee,
will be duly credited in the draft fixed for January 5,
1864, and '‘also such-volunteers as may have been
mastered into the service of the United States since the
draft, the-number so credited to be deducted from their
proportion of the quota assigned the State under recent
call.” Information regarding the quotas of'counties,
cities, townships, or wards, can be procured on appli
cation to the respective District Provost Marshals.
VI. Authority will be given to officers detailed for re*
crniting service from regiments in the field to raise com
plete companies of infantry, to be cent to Buch regiments'
In the field *8 have lees than their proparmnmber of com*
pany organizations. ;
VII. Colored volunteers for the colored regiments In
Pennsylvania will be accepted as part of the quota, and
also Buch as have been mustered into the service of the
•United States since the draft, to be credited to cities or
other localities in their proportion of the State’s quota
under recent call. .
< VIII. Gamps of rendezvous will be established at pro

pay in. advance, and, in addition, a bounty and premi
um of $302 will be paid.
fc Tbe short time now remaining, within which to fill the
qmota of the State by enlistments, and thus avoid the im
pending draft, admonishes’ the loyal citizens of the-im
portance of provlaing, by local bounties, the strongest
inducements to volunteers. Municipalities of other
States, by this means, are seducing from Pennsylvania
tbe able-bodied men who should replenish her own.regi
ments. Pennsylvania, with a deficiency less, propor

show, by her promptaoßs and alacrity now. her ability

circulations these falee statements, and only circulated
them in the most stealthy manner, where it was sup
posed the answer would not reach, as it was found to be
triumphant.
And the evident reason "for their publication at this
time and in a newspaper is. that it would not be practi
cal to meet them by publishing in same manner the an
swer with the accompanying affidavits and certificates,-
both on account of expense and room required.
This, I presume, is a fair specimen of the fair and
manly competition to which yon do a* t object, and those
are the real facta to which, you call public attention-
As to your over liberal offer to test Safes by fire, there
we two important oTuectlonai
, reFsniss mjmv ag»raof auraartihim
has bees torouec one fire, and I ask no fifty per cent, ad
vantage. Mj Safe mnfct be tested upon equal Umi. and.
stand or fall on its merits.
The second objection is, that you claim the privilege of
sheeting a. Safe la yonr own possession. This I cannot
permit. Neither party shallh&ve the. possession of the
Safe to be burned. , Ti e test must be a mir one, and nei
ther party shall have the opportunity to drug or fit up a
Safe for the occation. v “ That game ic-played ont " •
I see co objection to my former proposition to teat Safes
by fire; but I will now be more explicit.
Yon propose -the W» aver, Fitter & Co. Safe. All right.
I will select one of yonr make now in use in this city,
and sold within six years, of similar size; neither Safe to
be in possession of elcher party notil after the test; each
party to arrahge with theowner for their make or Safe.
The committee of five to be selected, as you propose,
from responsible and known business men not connected
with the manufactory or business of either party, di
rectly or indirectly,and the burning-to bounder their
comrol; a suitable and proper furnace to be prepared,
ftnd the Safes placed therein, tbe safes'to be burned until
one of them loses its contents. The party whose Safe
wins is to have both Safes, and the party whose sa'e fails
is to pay all-’expenses of the test.as yon propose; and
should there be any other necessary preliminaries, they
shall be settled on equal and fair terms.
Gentlemen, (ball I have your acceptance?
LEWIS LILLIE.
- Per M. C. SADLER,
Agent and Attorney,
V 31 South SEVENTH Street.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Having, ae I think, properly replied to the publishers
of the article above alluded to, I will now take up, some
what in detail, the slanderous statements therein made,
that the public may be able to judge of and appreciate
the ‘ * stubborn facts ” therein presented.
, And that I may be the better understood, I will first
give a short and concise history of the Chilled Iron
safe. * * * * *
'Not far frf'm the year 18501 introduced, for the time,
a superior Safe Loch, and at first applied it to sheet
iron Safes. Soon the burglarß began to blow the locks
off with powder, and the Safe could not protect aay
lock. I undertook to remedy the difficulty.' I first
light boiler-plate iron for the inner surface,
and cast lion for the outer. This principle was aban
doned, for the'reason that the boiler*plate iron had not
the power to chill the cast iron, or to so connect the two
irons as to prevent the breaking of the cast iron:
X next adopted ,the„princtple of making fox the Inner
surface a uetwork of wrousht iron bar?, and drilled &
inch holes through those bars, separated about two
inches, and countersunk them, which allows the cast
iron' to form a great number of bolts, as well as to fill
up the space between the bars—thus tying and con
necting the two kinds of iron to thoroughly that no
ordinary power can break or separate them, while at
the same time the iron bars effectually chill the cast
iron. To make the Chilled Iron Safe fire-proof, I first
adapted fire brick, and various other non-conducting
lire proof materials, the one being abandoned for an
other, until after Beveral } ears the filling now used by
me was discovered and adopted.
Previous to November, 1857, iliese Safes were made by
a stock company, under my first patent. I then pur
cha ed their works and made the improvements which
time and experience had suggested Tnree new patents
were soon obtained. My patterns were ail improved,
beth as against flre and burglary. My lock was im
proTedi'tojprevent the drivlngin with the sledge, as at
fludeon. But in 1562 a-machine, called the Micromotor,
was introduced, which enabled the expert to pick my
lock, with most, if not all the best bank locks in use,
making it necessary to construct a lock upon which this
machine could not act. This I claim to have done effec
tually, as none of the experts with the machine have
succeeded to pick it.
This being-the history of the Chilled Iron Safe. I will
now review the article as proposed. The first complaint
is, that my agent advertises my Chilled Iron Safe as the
only real Fire and Burglar-proof Safe made This is
eminently, true as applied to the ordinary mercantile
Safe, as the common sheet-iron Safe is now of no account
against burglars, as every cay’s experience proves The
next complain t is, that the Chilled Iron Safe is advertised
at one-third less price. This is not true My sheet-iron
Safe, made like the common Safe, and better and stronger,-
is sold as a fire proof only, at one third less price. The
next and only serious complaint is, that my age at has
advertised four of Evans & Watson’s Burglar-proof Safes
for.sale that were received of the City Bank, alleging
that they were fire-prool chests made near twenty years
since, 4c. These safes were found in the City Bank
vault, holding the money and securities of the bank
entirely, made of iron plates of about double the usual
thickness of ordinary; Safes, one of them with, double
locks, and all with secret springs, without any fire-proof
filling at all, and sold by the bank as Burglar or Bank
vault Safes. The tin of advertising them for sale is ac
knowledged, if it is a sin. '
Proofs are next offered to show that the Chilled Iron
Safe is not burglar proof-
The Safe at Knoxville was an ordinary Safe, and not a
a Bank Safe made not by me, but under my first patent.
The lock was driven in. the barrel being straight, and
one of my improved locks with taper barrel was put on
the same Safe in place of the old one, and the owners
have it now in use.
The second csbo, at Hudson, Wis., had the same Safe
rks above.mot my make and not a Bank Safe. The lock
was driven in and powder applied, and the bank at once
ordered one of my improved bett Bank Safes.
Third. The Medina Bank Safe was made under my first
patent, and not my make. The front knob spindle was
drilled (which is not practical now. as the spindle is
drill-proof and patented), and powder cannot be insert
ed; and the .President, after examining my improve
ments, ordered my best Bank Safe.
. Fourth. The Safes referred to at Boihester were cast
upon boiler-plate iron, about, the first Safes made, not
sold as drill-proof, and the same were exchanged for my
improved Bank Safes, which are now in use by same
Banks.
Fifth. The statements made by Rayner St Ogden. Tear
St Miller, all refer to the old Safes made by the World
Safe Company, and cast on boiler-plate iron; and Mil
ler’s statement that it was done at the request of Mr. Sad
ler, is false, as ha was not present or in the city, and
knew nothing of it until alter it was done.
Next in order is the Safe at Olean, the only one of my
make referred to. ( This was a common $l5O Safe. It was
first turned upon its face and placed on heavy timbers,
and the best-mechanic from Herring & Co.’s Works.
New York, was the operator, having an eighteen pound
sleds® with three-an'a-a-half-foot handle, crow ear, chi
sels. Ac. After striking between five hundred and six
hundred blows that could he heard three hundred to
four hundred y&rds, he got a hole through the back
large enough for the arm; and, after trying for a half
hour to drill the door with drills prepared for the pur
pose, made a perfect, failure, and the Bank which had
this Safe, at once ordered my best Bank Safe, $875.
I now offer the citizens’ statements who were present:
■ The test with the drill was an entire failure, and so
conceded by the attacking party, and this we deem the
real test a» to its “burglar-proof” properties. We.uu
hesi 1 at in gly give it as. our opinion, founded upon a full
knowledge of all the facts and circfynstanceß, that this
Sefe is aIL that is claimed for it by#its manufacturer —
burglar-proof— and so far as this test goes, it has only
strengthened our confidence in the burglar-proof quali
ties of Lillie’s Sale, and established for it in this locality
a confidence never again to be impaired by itinerant
Sheet Iron Safe venders.

Dated Olean, May 22, 1660.
Next.in order is the Wilkesbarre case, which is an
swered in my former article as to Us merits, and I will
refer only to the declarations now made. The first is that
the Safe was robbed of a lajge amount of money. No
such proof;is shown anywhere. The second, that Mr.
Sadler assorted that it was the first successful drilling of
Lillie’s Chilltd Iron Safe it is untrne. He said that Bar
num might advertise, in his Museum as the first success
ful drilling of Lillie’s Chilled Iron Safe by the whple
burglar profession.
The next statement is, that a reference to the few cases
above will show how much his word fo to be relied upon.
The examination of the above cases will show that the
only drilling by any burglar was the knob spindle of the
Medina safe,'and that not Lillie’s and not chilled iron.
I think the public may now judge how much they cau
rely upon Messrs. Evans St Watson’s statements and in
ferences .
The late ease at Yardley ville is also one of the old Safes
sold in Philadelphia before I purchased the workß, and
it seems was not of sufficient hardness; and the owner
has ordered one of my Chilled Iron Safe 3, saying that “ if
they are not burglar-proof there is no Safe that is. I
would sooner trust them than any other.”
The Waterford caee introduced In a still later article is
another of the old-Safes,'and not a Bank Safe, that was
not hard enough for the drill, and the’victim (the owner)
immediately ordered one of my best Bank Safes, having
no confidence in any other.
> would here state that there never has been a Bank
Safe robbed of one dollar made under any one of my Pa
tents; and the two cases, Hudson *nd Knoxville, where
the lock was driven, in, and the Wilkesbarre. Yardley
ville, and Waterford cases, which were drilled, are all
the cases of robbery ; under any of my Patents, and not
any of them my make except one, and that not probable.
These are the/’ stubborn facts.” Next comes the state
ment as to fire proof. The first:
Bannibal IMo). - This Safewas not my make. I did
not offer a higher prietd one for it; had no direct interest
in it. It was broken open when red-hot, which would
destroy the contents in any Safe.
Nbxt,-St. John’s (Mich).—This was not my make. •
,The filling had been taken out of the door to repair the
lock, snd not returned. Of course it was not fire-proof,
and the owner says the Sate was not in fault.
Next/Patnesvilue (Ohio).—This Safe was opened
after the fire commenced, the contents taken but, the
Safe door left open; and, af-er it got on fire inside, in
falling the door shut. This is its history, as 1 can show,
and it was not my make. :
, Next, Cape May. —This was not my Safe! It was fur
nished by Day & Newell, with their lock, more as a
burglar proof; and not filled over the lock.
Crystal’Palace -This Safe was not my make, nor
made as I make Safes. It was an ordinary Safe, and of
ordinary thickness. It was burned in a coxe fire twenty
four hours, which would burn any ordinary Safe five
-times.
Danville.— This Safe was over a drug store, and foil
into a mass of combustible material, ana remained there
f rfive days. Twenty or thirty dollars in gold and silver
coin were found to be discolored.
Troy.-This Safe is now in front of the office, 21 South
Seventh street, roady for inspection, not injured in the
'least..:; • . -*
. Messrs. B. & W. next state they think the above cases
are quite sufficient I think they are, to show the fair
and manly competition which they exhibit towards the
Ghilled-Iron Safe, and to show, also, what reliance can
be placed upon the real and stubborn facts they attempt
to show.
Having presented the facts in the cases referred to as
concise as possible. 1 will now state that I have, at 21
South Seventh street, a liberalsupply of circulars an
swering fully all these charges against the Chilled-Irou
Safe, with any amount of certificates and proofs from
the owners of the Safes and others to prove my statement
true, which will he presented to any one desiring to see
the proofs.' • ■ • •
: As to the fire proof tests referred to. not one of them
are my Safes, and not a case that shows the Safe in fault
had It been mine. , ... -
The veiy common and just saying that the exception
often proves the rule, I think quite applicable to prove
the 'dulled Iron Safe to he burglar proof. Out of the tens
of thousands In. use all over the United States, holding a
large portion of.the money of the country for the last ten
yearn, three common Safes have been drilled by burg
lanv and.only five robbed altogether, - It shows conclu
sively, first, that a Safe must be drill proof to be burglar
proof; second, that the Chilled Iron rafeis generally drill
proof, or there would be more of them drilled, and the
test made by Herring Sc Co.’s experiment on the only.
Pare of my.mak'e in the catalogue, proves still stronger
that my Safes are’ drill' proof.: ■ *
In a crit'cal view of the wholearticle to whichthis is a
reply;'! am strongly reminded ofthe 1 ' Whitened Sepul
chre. ” All seems lohite and fair outside,'but within ail
is blackness, darkness, and corruption.
