oIi)c 3cffcvsonian, THURSDAY. MARCH 30, 1865. H-Wc invite attention to the opinion nf A Horner Honors! Spekd, of the Uni ted States, inserted in to-day's Jeficrso- nian, in .regard to the draft. Head the opinion. New Post Hasten Capt. John J. Horn has been appointed by the President Post blaster at Easton. lie will-enter upon the duties of his of fice ou the 1st of April. His nppoint- 111 cut gives general satisfaction. Jour- nal. The children of Stroudsburg will hold a Festival in behalf of the Ladies Sol diers Aid Society, in the Court llouse, on the Evenings of Tuesday and Wed nesday, April 4th, and 5th. Ice Cream, and refreshments arc a part of the good things offered. Many of our prisoners are now return ing, and the recent fighting has added greatly to the demands on the Sanitary and Christian Commissions j and the plea lor chanty is so urgent as to call for a lib eral support of our useful and efficient Aid Society. The great decline in the price of Butter is caused not so much by the fall in gold as by the fact that the supply exceeds the demand. The market is overstocked. "When the prices ruled high, everybody ccououiized in the consumption of butter; nnd the depression which has now been reached, was foreseen by many, and they took warning in time. Others, however, were not so wary. Many men who had butter to sell, refused to pari with it when GO cts. a pound was offered, because they hearkened: to the political croakers who went around the country, aecianng that the war would last four vears that the re-election of Lincoln made a restora tion of peace impossible that the rebels could not be conquered and that as a matter of course, so long as the war raged prices would continue to go up. Indeed we heard of Copperhcrd leaders who pre dieted soon after the election of Mr. Lin coln that gold would reach 300 before the spring of 1S65 came in. Of course, those who believed m these partisan pre dictions (conceived in a spirit of disloyal ty and promulgated for the purpose of damaging the Union cause,) Held on to their produce, and now they are reaping the bitter fruits of their credulity. Ihc sympathizers with rebellion in the .North, who arc at the head of the democratic j-avty, have done nothing from the be ginning but injuro their own frieuds. They have failed to afford the rebels sub stantial assistance in dissolving the Un ion, and have succeeded only in destroy ing their own party, and injuring the bus iness of every one of their adherents who listened to their pernicious counsels. It is high time for these leaders to retire from business. They arc essentially 'rdayed out." Both branches of our State Legisla ture adjourned on Friday, having accom plished a large amount of legislation dur ing the past three months. It is said there has never been a session during which so many bills have been acted upon and' passed or defeated as the one just closed. Most of the Senate bills were ac d upon, but in the House a "number fell through for want of time. The two most important bills which failed to pass were the "raid bill," which provided for an assessment of the damages sustained lv the citizens on the border dur ing the rebel invasion, and the "river oil chcinc," to which we have referred in a former issue. The closing hours of the Senate were devoted to the investigation yf an extraordinary attempt at bribery, or ejcjo properly swindling, borne time since, the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad company sent a bill to Harris burg, which in its provisions appears to have been entirely just and proper and would have passed without objection, it fs said. From tho report of the Senate committee it appears that pome person or persons not connected with the Legisla ture obtained the sum, of 85000 from the company, for the purpose of putting the bill through the House, and thai subse quently, the additional sum of $20,000 was asked and obtained, under ths plea of being necessary to aid in getting the same through the Senate. William H Witteand George Northrop are mentioned in the report as having applied for the money. There was no evidence that any member of either House had received a oeut of the money. The money was re funded to the person who brought it to Harrisburg, after the affair . was made public. According to the report there is no eviaeuce to criminate the two persons nainea as Having applied ior the money it loop like a very ingenious piece of rascality, winch though arrested before being fully accomplished, has been so managed as to give a chaucc for the per-J pctrators to escape. J. he Senate decided to continue the investigation, and the committee was instructed to. report to the Attorney General of the Comuiouwcalth. who has authority to prosecute offenders against the laws The startling fact has been derived from rebel olhciai sources that' during tiio past two years sixty-iour thousand national soldiers have died m rebel prisons. Of these thirty thousaud were buried at Anderson villc, G a.; twelve thousand at JJanviJ io, a.,aim ten thousand atiiiei. ir , . . . THE WAR. SEVERE BATTLE NEAR PE TERSBURG-.

To Major-Gcneral Bis: The following official reports of the operations of the Army of the Potomac on S-iturday, and of General Sherman's operations since he left Faycttcvillo, have been received this morning. General Sherman was at Gouldsboro' on the 22d of this month. No movements have been made on ei ther side before Richmond and Peters burg since Saturday night. - Edwix M. Stanton, Sec. of War.

The Second and Sixth Corps pushed for ward and captured the enemy's strongly intrenched picket line and turned it a gaiust him, and still hold it. Lee trying to retake this, the battle was continued until 8 o'clock at night, the enemy losing very heavily. General Humphreys estimates the loss of the enemy. in his front at three times his own, and General Wright estimates in his front their loss as double. The euemy sent a flag of truce yesterday for permission to collect his wounded and bury his dead which were between what had been their picket line and their main line of fortifications. The permission was granted. U. S. Grant, Lieut.-Gen. City Toiut, March 27, 11 A. M. lion Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. I am in receipt of Sherman's report of op orations from the time he left Fayette- ville up to the 22d inst. It shows hard fightiug, resulting in ve ry heavy loss to the enemy in killed and wounded, and over two thousand prison ers in our hands. His owu loss!, he says, will be covered by two thousand five hundred men since he left Savaunah. Many of them are but slightly wounded. (Signed) U. S. Grant, Lieut.-Gen. . o ' Presentation of the Gold Medal to Gen Grant. The gold medal voted to Lieutenant Gen. Grant by a joint resolution of Con gress in December, 18G3, together with a cop' of the resolution engrossed on parch mcnt, was presented on the 11th inst. by lion. E. B. Washburne, in the pres ence of a number of civilians, and of Gen erals Meade, Humphreys, Warren, Wright Parke, n ebb, Hunt, Griffin, and of ma ny officers of lower rank. To the speech of Mr. Washburne, Gen. Grant made the following characteristic reply, which could not well have been shorter : "I accept the medal and joint resolu tion of congress which the President has commissioned you to deliver to me. I will do nn'sclf the honor at an early day to acknowledge the receipt ot the letter of the President accompan'iug them, and to communicate m orders to the officers and soldiers who served under my com mand prior to the passage of the resolu tion, the thanks so generously tendered to them by the Congress of the United States." The medal is massive, and contains nearly S iW worth ot gold; its entire cast was about $7,000. The casket con taiuing it is very elegant. The join resolution engrossed on parchment was encased in a tube of pure silver, about eiguiecn incnes in icngtn aau. one and i j . i , . three quarter inches ia, diameter, neatlv inscribed. The Tables Turned in Tennessee. The secessionists of East Tennessee who, at the outset of the war, practiced every imaginable outrage on their neigh Dors, are Beginning to sutler the just . n - penalty ot their action. The Union men the courts having been re-established are prosecuting their former persecutors for damge3 sustained, and the juries, so tar as cases have come to trial, indicate a disposition to see full justice done to al concerned. Parson Brownlow has just recovered 2or000 damages in the United otates Circuit court at Knoxville, from three persons who. had made him the ob jeet of their malice.; another loyalist has obtained a verdict of a similar. amount while the heirs of a third have recovered a1. 1 - n i r rrt i me largu sum oi s-iu.uuu in a similar manner. Brownlow, in his paper, advises ail onion men who have suffered to com :mcnce suits- ai once; and the ve-rdict in the cases named will no doubt influence very many to follow his advice. The Philadelphia Conference of the M. Lhurch closed its session in the city on- Ihursday, Idd mst. Resolutions were passed during Thursday, expressive of thankfulness to Almighty God for the triumphs of our army and navy, in favor ot the- amendment to. the National Con n m . . .. r stitution abolishing; slavery, congratula ting the people ot Maryland ou the adop- nuu oi men- new uonstitution, and com mending the Ercedman's Association and Sanitary Commission to the public liber ality. The actiou of the- last General Conference ou the subiect of slaverv was endorsed by this conference almost unan.- lmously. The amount appronriafml hv tha Utn toogrcss for the purchase of artillery horses is twenty-one mJllmnc of dollars ; and for the purchase of der and lead, ten. millions and n iicr - uuii. VI dollars. N8wCase Settled. Married Women., Inter estcd.-rr-In the late case of Baringcr vs. Storer carried ub from Bucks county to the Supreme Court of the State, a uew point has been decided as to rights; of married women. Judge Agncw, who reudered the opinion, says : 'The question in this case was "whether a married woman who has no separate estate or known means of payment, of1 her own can repurchase from a purchaser at sheriff's sale the property which had been sold as her husbaud's who continued in debt, by giving a mortgage for the whole purchase money, all of which remains unpaid." Judge Agnew discusses this question at considcrablelcngth. cites numerous au thorities, and decides in the negative. kHc says, in conclusion : "We adhere to the settled doctrine that it is only when the property acquired af ter marriage, has been paid for with her own separate estate, clearly and satisfac torily established, it is hers (the wife's) and'is protected from her husbauu s crcd tors. "To suffer a wife to purchase on credit is to open a wide door for fraud. Its ef fect to throw upon the creditors the bur don of proving whose funds afterward enter into the payment. For, startin with title founded ou her credit, she must stand upon it uutil the husband's mean shall be shown to enter into the purchase The judgment is affirmed." A Paris Incident. A young boy of sixteen years of age was brought before the police court, Pans charged with stealing and begging in the public streets. He was a bright, fine looking boy, but very poorly clad, and when brought before the judge, he fel upon his knees and begged him not to put him in prison : that his mother was sick and starving, and that alone had dri ven him to steal ; that he could not find work ; and that if he was imprisoned, the disgrace would kill his poor mother. The judge seemed somewhat moved a the boy's story, but he nevertheless, after hearing the evidence, condemned him to six weeks imprisonment. xs tne Doy was Deing leu away, a poor woman, pale, covered with rags, and he hair in disorder, forced her way through the crowed, and tottering up to the boy passed one arm around him ; and then turning to the iudge, pushed back her! long black hair, and exclaimed, "Bo you not recognize me ' Thirteen years have passed since you deserted me, leaving me alone with my chil J and my shame ; but L have not forgotten you, and this boy 3'ou have just condemned is your son ! T ,t a . . i xou may imagine tne ettect tnii an nouuecment produced on the bystanders, Ihe judge in a loud voice, ordered the woman to be carried from the court, and then left himself; but joined the poor creature in the street, and carried her and her son off in a carriage.

SAMUEL YOHE, Capt. and Provost Marshal. 11th Dist. Pa. OPINION. Attorney General's Office, 7 March 14, 1865. Hon. E. M. STANTON, Sec. of War: Sir The first question propounded in your letter of the 20th inst., is, whether the 23d section of the act of March 3d, 1865, "super sedes" the 4th section of the Act of Februa ry 24th, 1864. The 4lh section of the act of February 24, 1864, enables any person, before a draft to furnish an acceptable substitute who is not liable to draft, nor, at the time, m the mili tary or naval service of the United States, and provides that the person so furnishing the time for which such substitute shall have been accepted." Under this enactment, any person enroll ed, and liable to draft, may obtain cxcmp tion from the draft during the whole period for which he shall procure a substitute to be enlisted, provided the substitute shall be so credit for a particular draft which such per- son obtains b furnishing a substitute before ihn nnt c. nutnr draft, hfit it s an nfanlnto exemption which he acquires from liability i i i i i c i T to be drawn at any and every draft winch may occur during the entire time for which his substitute has been accepted by the Gov- 1 n-naM..t n.Awlswl Mm rnl.nt intn r I , not liable to draft.

But the Government under this provision, is to be at no expense in consequence of the authorized substitution of one individual for another in the draft. The party who desires to avail himself of the benefit of the privilege conferred by the law is properly and juttly required to" compen- sate the substitute Such being the provision of the law of 1864 on the subject of "substitutes" furnish- ed in Anticipation of a draft, the law of March 3d, 186o, provides in its 23d section as lollows: i imi anv person or persons enroneu in any sub-district may, after notice of a draft. and before the same shall have taken place, cause to be mustered into the service of the credit of the persons thus causing them to be I .1 .

He still has it in his power to exercise that right in preference to the right conferred by the 23d section of the act ot 3d March 1865, of obtaining a recruit previous to each draft, as it may occur, and securing thereby a credit in the event, on any occa sion of his being drafted. I am of opinion, therefore, that the 23d section of the act of March 3d, 1SG5, does not supersede the 4th section of the act of Feb ruary 24, 1864. The second question which you have re- ferrcd to me, is, whether the recruits, which are cto be taken as substitutes," are to be considered and borne upon the muster rolls and records of the office of the Provost Alar siial General, as other volunteer recruits which arc o'nt!inil nt ilm Inch are fur-' ' any sub-disirict may "cautxr b,C m,f.ter' 'Mo the service of the United on.l.i : . .... r - 7. r Vr , u ou SCCUon 01 - "V" "u n,rc 10 fae cons,d' T u ; 1 ' er volunteer whoare ,e obl " nllt4 J U ? 1 Ica v?d, ,n. hc r, 18Gl ? ?'!rr " ,K,c'fe ,dca.!f of 15G5, . r"" O. 13UO Tn " ' , . )'lK l,,c rt" emits in quest on as "substitute Mini ?r ,,nr(15l. ,frf ! .V"C' . bu-.. d.c." lu)cs fnr t( Lr' . ,..' i in W who cause them to br re not substitutes but & -I nil I v nt nitziri nf vi,.rf.(..f.n fni. ?
