DEATH OF COL. BRENHOLTZ.
Lieutenant Colonel THOMAS S. BRENnOLTZ, of
the 50th Regiment Penna. Volunteers, died at
Evansville, Indiana, on the 19th inst., of the
wound he received in the late engagement at
Jackson, Mississippi. He was on hie way to
Cincinnati, whither his wife had gone to meet
him, in the hope of being wit! him in his last
hours—for his recovery was given up, some days
before—but the fatigue of the journey proved
too much for his exhausted frame, and he eank
ruler it at the place named. His body was
temporarily interred there, but the officers of
his Regiment have made arrangements for bring
ing it home for burial.
Col. BILZIWOLTZ was a brave, impulsive and
fearless officer. When the rebellion broke out,
he left the profession of the Law, to which he
had been admitted a year or two before, and
went into the three months' service as Lieutenant
of one of the Reading Companies. At the expi
ration of-his term, he raised one of the three
Companies of three years' Volunteers that were
recruited in this city for the 50th Penna. Regi
ment, and upon its organization, was elected its
Lieutenant Colonel, in which capacity he served
with great credit and gallantry for nearly two
years. His Regiment formed part of the first
expedition against the coast of South Carolina,
and afterwards participated in the bloody battle
of Fredericksburg, and other engagements of less
magnitude, in all of which he displayed the daring
and cool courage of the true soldier. He had
chief command of the Regiment upon several
important occasions, and acquitted himself in
such a manner as to win the confidence and re
spect of his brother officers and the warm affec
tion of hie men, by all of whom, as well as by
many friends at home, who know him in there,
rims associations of private life, hie early death
is sincerely mourned.
Col. Razenorrz was the son of Mr. Isaac
Brenholtz, formerly a Muter Machinist in the -
Reading Railroad Workshops, and a son-in-law
of Mr. John Arnold, Dentist. He was in the
29th year of his age, and leaves a young widow,
with two small children.
A TRACT POR.TER TIMES.—We publish on our
outside form, an admirable paper, by the Hon.
Commits R. BIICKALEW, on "The Evils of the
Times, aad their Remedy." The subject—so
vitally important to every lover of his country—
is treated with the logical clearness and states
man-like sagacity which distinguish all the
writings of Mr, Buokalew. Discarding mere
verbiage and rhetorical elaboration, he goes right
to the points of discussion, and states them with
e,uch clearness and force as to carry conviction
to the mind of every reader who can examine
and reflect upon political questions without prej
udice or partiality. We regard this paper as an
invaluable " Tract for the Times," which should
be placed In the hands of every voter In this
Commonwealth previous to the October election.
It will do more to enlighten the people as to the
true issue between the National Democraoy and
the Sectional faction now in power, than a thou
sand stump speeches.
VACANCE6B AND PRONOTIONB.—There are now
a number of vacancies among the commissioned
officers of the 104th Penna. Volunteers, which
will be filled as soon as the regiment is recruited
with the drafted men, viz :—Company A, Cap
tain ; Co. B, Second Lieutetant ; Co. C, Cap
tain and First Lieutenant; Co. E, Second Lieu
tenants Co. H, First Lieutenants Co. I, Second
Lieutenant, and Co. B, First Lieutenant, making
in all ten commissions to be awarded. The pro
motions will be made from the ranks, and an
effort will be made to select the most meritori
ous men.
s er- JAMZEI Psecorc, Esq., who was Post

on Sunday last, at" the age of 76 years. He

TION of CURTIN is IMPOSSIBLE." It brings a
long list of charges against him, which we_shall
lay before our readers next week When leading
papers of his own party are thus compelled to
come out against the Republican candidate, where

THE CONVENTION.
The election for Dolegatee to the Democratic
County Convention will be held to-day. The
Convention, to nominate a ticket for the support
of the Democrats of Berks county at the Octo
ber Election, Will Meet on Tuesday next, at 10
o'clock, A. M. 'A number of candidates for the.
several offices are in the field, each of whom
has his friends, - who will doubtless give him all
the aid they can, toward the realization of his
desires. But while personal preferences will,
and should have, their influence, within reason
able bounds, the chief interest felt by every
good D;mocrat in the action of the Convention,
is that a ticket may be formed of the best mate
rial, and in such a manner as to command the
united support of the party. In the name,
therefore, of all to whom the welfare of the
party is superior to all other considerations, we
would express a hope that the claims and quali
fications of every candidate will be impartially
canvassed—that all, from the highest to the
lowest, will be dealt with fairly by the Conven
tion—that no factious opposition shall be made
to any good man, or any combinations formed
to accomplish, by means not attainable in an
open and honorable contest, the defeat of this
or that particular individual, or the success of
another. Let each candidate, after first pledg
ing himself—as he is in honor bound to do—to
abide by the decision of the Convention, wheth
er it be for or against him, do what he can, with
the assistance of his friends, to secure a nomi
nation. But, let all be done fairly, openly, and
to a good spirit, as becomes generous rivals,
who are willing to eacrifice personal advantage,
if need be, to the benefit of the whole party ; so
that, after the ticket shall have been made, there
may be no diSsaliettOtion, no heart-bUrnings
and recriminations, but a cheerful submission
to will of the majority. Important as is the
election of our County Ticket, the election of
our Governor is of far higher importance, for it
involves interests closely identified with the
very existence of the Union and Free Govern
ment. Berke mue c t not falter in the great work
of redeeming the State, and in order to do her
whole duty, she must maintain her local organi
tiou in full vigor and harmony, and be at unity
with herself.
Thaddeus Stevens on the Conscrip
tion Law.
The Lancaster Express publishes the following
opinion of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, in regard to
the effect of the payment of the $3OO commuta
tion by a drafted man, which sets forth the law of
the case in so clear a light that we cannot see
why there should be any conflict of opinion on
that point. The oonoludion arrived at is not
only law bat it is common sense and laws
ought certainly to be construed in accordance
with common sense:
LANCASTER, AUGUST 27, 1863.
lion. Thaddeus Sieve= :
DEAR Sin : Different decisions have been
made under the 13th section of the "Act for
Enrolling and Calling out the National Forces,"
as to the effect of the payment of the $3OO com
mutation; in the uncertainty so caused, may I
ask you for your opinion as to what the law of
the case is
What is the effect of the payment of the $3OO
commutation, and for what length of time does
such payment exempt the persons paying ?
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD REILLY.
LANCASTER, August 27, 18G3
DEAR SIR: In answer to your inquiry, my
opinion is that the payment of the $3OO com
mutation and the furnishing a substitute have
precisely the same effect. Either of them frees
the drafted man from further draft for three
years. Ile is in effect in service, either by him
self or another. The payment of $3OO makes
the Government his agent to procure a substi
tute. The Government has consented to sot as
such agent. The law says he may "on or be
fore the day fixed for his appearance furnish an
acceptable substitute, or pay such BUM not ex
-Beeding $3OO for the procuration of such sub
stitute, and thereupon the person furnishing the
substitute, or paying the money, shall be dis
charged from further liability under that draft."
No one doubts that furnishing a substitute ex
cuses for three years. To give a different effect
to the payment of the commutation seems to
me little less than an absurdity. It is a very
mischievous misconstruction, whioh, if need be,
I have no doubt, Congress will correct.
'THADDEUS STEVENS.
ED: REILLY, EN:
THE PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS
The following is an extract from an address
delivered by lion. Hannan W. Woouvrann, on
the occasion of laying the corner-slope of a
monument in honor of CWT. 61101iK, at the
Trappe, in Montgomery county, soon after the
death of that honored patriot. It contains a
well merited tribute to the Gentians of Penn
sylvania and we make room for it with pleasure :
Here, too, let the monument of this man be
built. To carry out its expression and appro
priate associations, this is the place for it. Tho
monument to the Swiss who fell at Paris defend•
lug the King in 1790, is in the very heart of the
Land whose children they were, and in which
their faithfulness was taught and cherished. It
is cut out or their native crags, in the midst
of their beloved mountains. The same law of
association locates Shank's monument - here.
While its shadows fall softly on his grave,
let it. mark also the place of his nativity, and
where he imbibed those noble sentiments and
affections which so strikingly illustrated and
adorned hie life.
Undoubtedly GoVerner Shnnk's German blood
and language helped his advancement in public
favor. Germane, attracted at an early day by
the fame of Penn, came in great numbers from
the father land and settled in Pennsylvania, and
have already formed a large and most respect
able portion of our population. Though mixed
with people of different habits of thought and
action, who have displayed in Pennsylvania all
the activity, energy and enterprise that belong
to the Scotch, Irish and Yankees, yet the Ger
mans have maintained their ascendency both in
wealth and in social and political influence.
Love of country—patient industry—sound judg
ment, and inflexible integrity are characteristics
of the people, and how these qualities have im
pressed the people of other extraction in Penn
sylvania, may be seen in the fact that our chief
executive office has been entrusted to a German
for mere than half the time since the adoption
of the C,nstitution of lila Snyder, Bloom.,
Shull:, Wolf, Ritner and Shunk were all Germans
end so is that estimable man recently nominated
by acclamation, Col. William Bigler. In oar
Legislative halls and in governmental depart
ments the Germans have always had a large
representation- In the development of the ag
agricultural resources of Pennsylvania, they
have led the way, and done more to demon
stride the wiedom and profitableness of good
farming than any other class of our people.
They love good land and they know how to make
good use of it. Where on our continent—where
in our world, will you find more independence,
contentment and solid comfort than in the Ger
man families of oar limestone valleys ? It is a
pleasant thought that a race of Governors has
been nurtured amid the rich luxuriance and
the exemplary virtues of these valleys—a pleas
ing thought it is too, that we have come at length,
to erect in thd bosom of one of the loveliest of
these valleys, a monument to one of the noblest
of those German Governors. The people may
well love Shunk and honor his memory, for he
was an exponent—an embodied expression of the
characteristics of his race—and they may look
on this monument as peculiarly theirs—as a
memorial of what they have done for Pennsyl
vania—a concrete tribute to the virtues, the
manly independence, and the stern republican
ism of Pennsylvania Germans."
sir Holt. HIZEITER CLYMER ie announced to
speak at a Democratic Mass Mooting to be held
at Brookville, Jefferson county, on Tuesday, the
15th of September. The Brookville lefersonian
calls for "a general turn-out to hear the elo
quent and talented eon of Democratic Berke."
For the Gazette and Democrat
6 Double-dyed Traitor! Copperhead!'
GeT2 I—No one, after having read the
Journal of last Satuirday, can fail to discover that
Mr. Knabbis again " ruling the roast." For
some time prior to his voluntarily (?)
"jinn' de
army," (not for buncombe) the Journal was teem.
ing with vile epithets, such as " Tory," " Trai—
tor," " Copperhead," " Rebel Sympathizer,"
Seoeseionist," &0., against Democrats who
conscientiously differed with him, or called in
question the propriety or policy of any act of
our Abolition President, or any measure of his
administration. After he had gone to fight (?)
for his country, the Journal becime somewhat
decent towards Democrats, but since his re—
appearance in our midst, it has again become
filthy.
Senator CLYMER'S speech at Easton to the
" Copperheads," (as the Journal is pleased to
style the Democrats,) is criticized, but not the
smallest portion of his remarks is published;
but from all accounts our Senator must have com
pletely flayed poor Old Abe and his fellow Abo—
litionists. Mr. Knabb gives also what he calls
"Extracts from the last public speech of
George W. Woodward," the Democratic candidate
for Governor, (which are all garbled and mutila
ted,) and denounces him as a " Copperhead" and
" double dyed traitor. " Why does he . not
publish a full paragraph or at least a complete
sentence of .the speech ? This of course would
only be fair, but would not answer his purpose,
and his readers would at once see the cheat.
l&. Getz, I should very much like to see the
Journal republish the annexed " speeches,"
should appeared in its columns during the Mexi
can War, delivered either by J. Knabb, Esq., or
J. S. Richards, Esq., and challenge Mr. Knabb to
place by their side the moos ear " Copperhead "
speech or editorial uttered by any Demooratio
citizen of Berke county, since the rebellion com
menced i se that his readers may have an oppor
tunity of judging in which is contained the moat
treason, if any at. all. You,- Mr. Getz, wall no
doubt agree with Mr. Knabb to print aide by
side, any editorial published by you during the
present rebellion, of equal length of the Journal's,
which appeared during the Mexican War, provi
ded Mr. Knabb will agree also to do so
(From the Berke and Schuylkill Journal of May 23d,
ISO, then edited by J. haste, (its present editor.) and
J. S. Itioasens, Esq., who, some eery green individuale
sincerely believe, exerts a controlling innuence over tho
Mae at present.)
"The Locofocos seem to think it high treason
for any one to call in question the propriety or
policy of any act of the President, or any mes
eure of his administration. They would abridge
the liberty of Speech and of the Press, place a
gag in the mouth of every freeman, and a cen
sor over every independent journal in the coun
try—if they dared. They would have the whole
nation to bow down in servile submission, like
themselves, and cry amen to all the President
says or does. Now it occurs to us that an indi.
'Waal may entertain a most unbounded rever
ence and affection for his country, and at the
same time have a most contemptible opinion of
the President, and his administration. The
country is his birth-right—his inheritance, and
he is bound to it by a tie second only to that
which binds him EC his God. The President is
merely the head servant of the Nation—he be.
longs to the people, and not the people to him.
So long as he serves' the country faithfully and
well, so long is he deserving of the applause of
"the people. But when he - forgets his awful re
sponsibility—when he is disposed to become the
leader or the tool of party—when he jeopards
the peace and well being of the Union to pro;
mote his personal aggrandizement—when be
usurps powers not delegated to him by the high
trust committed to his hands—Tuns IS HZ OEN.
EURAELE—and all those who support him in his
misdeeds, parliceps crimines, or partakers of his
iniquity. When the country is thus betrayed to
advance a party or personal consideration, it is
only base hirelings and stases who will approve.
The true patriot will speak out. Jealous of the
national honor and jealous of the usurpations of
Presidential authority—his quick understanding
will detect, his honest heart expose, and a feel
ing of noble indignation lead him to denounce
the recreant servant, even though he be the
highest officer of the government.
. 4 What constitutes the 6 , COUNTRY ?" Is it the
twenty millions of freemen that people this glori
ous Union, all joined together in one holy broth
erhood—the beautiful and majestic territory
stretching over a vast continent—the cities,
towns, villages, homesteads, lakes, rivers, moun
tains, and valleys—the thriving farms, unculti
vated prairies, boundless forests an inaccessible
wilds? Is it these that constitute the COUNTRY,
or is it James K. Polk 7 The Looofocos would
have us believe the latter definition is the true
one—but common sense will teach every man a
different lesson. While, therefore, the Whigs
will stand by the country and support the gov
ernment in any measure it may see fit - to adopt
in the present crisis, they will hold the Presi
dent and those who were mainly instrumental in
bringing this evil upon us, to a strict account,
and never shrink from their solemn duty to de.
fend the Constitution at all hazards, and let their
denunciations fall heavy upon those who would
trample it under foot."
(From the Berke and Schuylkitlifearnal of Jan. 2,1847.)
" We were much horrified on looking over the
Tuesday's papers to find that our plainspoken
notions of the origin and progress of the Mexi
can War were likely to get us into difficulty% •We
were under the impression that the principle of
the British Government that "the King can do no
wrong," was not embraced in our republican
Constitution either by word or implication, and
hence took it for granted that we could censure
the course of his Royal Littleness, James K.
Polk, without incurring the charge of treason,
or placing our republican neck in danger of the
hangman's halter. It seems we were mistaken,
and that our Federal rulers are determined to
enforce the Constitution after the manner of the
elder Adams. In due time we may expect to see
the Government enact alien and sedition laws,
and have the Schreckenszeiten—those monstrous
times that have been a stereotyped horror to our
venerable neighbor of the Adler for the last half
century—over again. To speak his thoughts'
is no longer one of the rights of the American
freeman. The Liberty of the Press is to be cut•b
ed—the Liberty of Speech abolished, and hence
forth it is to be deemed treason to say aught
against the Administration. This is monstrous
doctrine—dootriue which the Locofocos will find
it a hard matter to enforce. Our people are not
servile enough for any thing of this sort. They
regard Mr. Polk as but a man—and a very com
mon man at that. The effort to set him up as
the Country, will not do. People, thank for•
tune, can discriminate between the reprehensi
ble acts of a demagogue, and the Constitution
and Laws of the Connery. Mr. Polk is dot in
fallible. He is the people's servant, not their
master. Ile is the President for the time being
—not for life. In the management of the Mexi
can War, the honest of his own party condemn
him—why then should the Whigs, who never had
confidence in the man, or any particular admi
ration of his statesmanship, be expected to shout
hallelujahs in his praise? For ourself we shall
not do it, hut shall continue as heretofore to
hold up his ads to public indignation, wherever
and whenever in our opinion he deserves such
notice at our hands."
Thus 11 speeehifyed " the Journal, during the
Mexican War, against a Democratic President
and his Administration, fearlesa of bastilea or
fills; Relater did any of the most violent Whig
orators in or out of Congress dread the power of
the then Democratic rulers, as can be shown by
their slanderous speeches delivered at that
period—simply because they knew that the De.
mocracy Geld the reins of Government and it
was safe for them to say or print anything against
the Administration without danger of being mo
lested. How many cases (during the Mexican
War) can Mr. Knabb cite, where Whig editors or
speakers were seized by armed soldiers at the
instance of Government and taken from their
homes, and imprisoned for articles published or
words spoken against the Administration ; or
how many Whig printing offices can he enumer
ate, that were mobbed and gutted and the sots
approvedof by Democratic editors T Ido not be
lieve he can name a single instance of tyranny
sanctioned by President Yolk's Administration.
Alas I how different under President Lincoln's

THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
FORT SUMTER IN- RUINS!
BOMBARDMENT OF TILE CITY.
By the Arago from Charleston Bar at S F, M.,
Aug. 25 (Tuesday), we have further details of
the progress of the siege of Charleston, by Gill
more and Dahlgren. At midnight, Saturday,
Admiral Dahlgren with five monitors advanced
in the darkness on Sumter, opening fire at 3 o'-
clock, and keeping it up until 6 o' clock. The
fort was struck over 100 times, the balls tearing
through the sea-wall and doubling the number
of port-holes. The whole parapet was carried
away.. Sumter fired one gun in response five
times, but Forts Moultrie, Gregg, and Bettina
gard for three hours rained shell on the Monitors,
failing to do them any harm. Sumter is demol
ished—an immense pile of rubbish. Gen. Gill
more, on Thursday, notified Gen. Beauregard that
if he did not surrender the forts he would shell
the city in twenty-four hours, at the same time
requesting him to remove tite women and child
ren. No attention was paid to this notice, and
on !Friday night Gen. Gillmore threw fifteen
shells into the city of Charleston, charged with
" Greek fire." On Saturday afternoon, General
Beauregard sent down a flag of truce boat with
an urgent protest, denouncing " Greek fire," as
a most villainous compound, unworthy of civili
zed nations, and demanding more time to remove
the women and children from the oily. The
English, French, and Spanish Consuls also de
nounced the short time given by Gen. Gillmore,
and claimed more time to remove the subjects of
their respective countries. Gen. Gillmorti re
plied by a renewal of the demand to surrender
the forte and public property. Gen. Beauregard
answered by asking for a truce of forty hours.
Gen. Gillmore refused to give any more time, or
to accept of any other terms but an uncondition
al surrender. At 12 on Sunday night, the shel
ling of the city with "Greek fire" was resumed.
Non-combatants are leaving the city in contin
uous streams. It is riot belieired that there are
over twenty men in the ruins of Sumter. The
whole rear wall is dawn, and shells pass entirely
through the structure. The sea wall is terribly
disfigured.

DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.
MEETINO AT STRAUSTOWN
One of the largest and most enthusiastic pub
lic demonstrations ever hold in, "OLd perks,"
took place at Straustown, Upper Tulpehoccon
township, on Saturday, August 15th, 1863. The
following persons were elected as officers of the
meeting:
Fruident—SOLOMON BOLTZ, Esq.
Vice Pratidents—Gsoaaa Dimes, Esq.

The Committee on Resolutions reported the
following which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we are now, as we always have
been, firmly attached to the Constitution of our
father?, and true to the Union of the States as
it existed under that Constitution, and are unal
terably opposed to all efforts to destroy the same,
whether they be made by armed rebellion or by
the no less destructive assaults of sectional abo
litionism.
Resolved, That the only just and lawful object
of war is the maintenance of constitutional rights
and the attainment of an honorable peace; and
that whenever these objects are within the reach
of our Government, a further prosecution of the
present war became unjust, tyrannical anti sub
versive of the rights and liberties of the people.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the nomi
nation of the lion. GEORGE W. Woouweao for
Governor, and Hon. WALTER 11. Locate for
Judge of the Supreme Court; believing them
both to be pure, upright and able men, eminent
ly fit to administer the high trusts to which they
have been named upon Correct principles, and
that we hereby pledge to them our united sup
port at the October election.
Resolved, That the doctrines promulgated in
the recent Address of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, are a true and faithful exposi
tion of the Democratic creed, as understood and
practiced by the fathers of the Republic, and
that we aro willing to go before the people upon
such a platform, with no fear as to the result.
Resolved, That we will cordially cooperate
with our Democratic fellow citizens of the seve
ral townships, in the work of organization by
means of Township Clubs, for the purpose of
securing a full Democratic vote at the October
election ; and recommend to the officers of the
several Clubs the utmost vigilanee, from the time
of opening until the hour for closing the polls
shall come ; confident that a full„Democratio vote
will be a glorious Democratic victory.
Rewired, That we are strenuously opposed to
the abolition policy of the present' Administra
tion, believing it to be unconstitutional and det
rimental to the future welfarif and prosperity of
our Government and that we would not, give one
pillar of the Union for all the woolly.heads in
the universe.
Resolved, That the proceedinisef this meeting
be published in all the Democratic papers in this
county, and in The Age, in Philadelphia.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting are
hereby tendered to the Hon. S. E. Ancona, J. K.
MoKenty, Esq., J. Lawrence Getz, Esq., Jesse
G. Hawley, Esq., and Wm. H. Livingood, Esq.,
for their able and patriotic addresses delivered
before this meeting.
(Signed by the Officers.)

Tux $2OO EXEMPTION.—The following deci
sion in regard to the effect of the payment of
WOO for exemption from the draft, was an
nounced on Thursday morning last, from the
stand, by Provost Marshal Harr. It comes, we
believe, from the office of the Deputy Provost
Marshal General:at Harrisburg, and is, as will
be seen, in direct conflict with the construction
of the section in dispute, by the Hon. TLIADDEUS
STEVZIO, of Lancaster, whose opinion we give
in another column :
"Any drafted person paiii4 — s3oo, 'under
Section 13 of tho Enrolment Aot, is thereby ex-.
empt from further liability under that draft, but
not from any subsequent draft."

.roir CHARLES W. ESSER, ESQ.—The death
of this gentleman, which was briefly announced in our
last paper, was a painful surprise to bie • many friends
throngtoint the county; for he wee in the yeryprime dare,
and few, Harty of them, had heard of his previous illness.
He died on Thursday, the 20th inst., at 9 o'clock, A. M., at
hie residence in Kutztown, after scarcely more than a
week's illness, aged 45 years, 8 months and i 3 dare. Mr.
Baser Was an active, influential and consistent member of
the Democratic party, and was frequently chosen by hie
fellow-citizens of that political faith to represent them in
their County and State Conventions. His intelligent views
of public affairs, and his probity of character, made hint
at all times a trusty counsellor; and be was respectest
and honored wherever he was known. Bat it was not
alone as a politician that he commanded the confidence of
his friends. As a business man, and. in the relations of do•
mestlo and social life, be was all that the upright and use.
fel citizen should he, and was esteemed accordingly. He
exercised for some years the duties of a Justice of the Peace
in Kutztown, to the satisfaction of every one who had
need of hie services. At all times, and under all circum
stances, be was the same kind, benevolent, enterprising
and trustworthy gentleman that Mow who knew him host
admired him for ; and by his unexpected death, at thevery
noonday of a life that gave promise of many years of use
fulness, they cud our whole community have sustained no
trivial lose. His funeral, which took place on Monday
last, was largely attended ; and, after the usual religions
services, and a sermon appropriate to the sad occasion, by
the Key. G. A. Hinterleitner, in the Kutztown Church, hie
remains were borne to their last resting place in the Hope
Cemetery.

The only troops now remaining here, are Battery B, sth
11. S. Artillery, and the Continental Troop, a Cavalry Com
pany from Philadelphia, that came hate on Tuesday, fer
the purpose, as is stated, of aiding to preserve order daring
the progress of the Draft, bat there has been no need of
their services oo far, and there will be none. The citizens
of Perks county Irk !Silo always have been, an orderly
and law-abiding people. They believe, with the brave
bat greatly wronged MCLELLAN, that "the remedy for
