The children of Stroudsburg will hold
a Festival in behalf of the Ladies Sol

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.

Our captures were : By the Second

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.

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

ail onion men who have suffered to com

the cases named will no doubt influence
very many to follow his advice.

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.

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-

which his substitute enlisted, no matter how
many drafts may occur between the cnlist-
mcnt of the substitute and the expiration
of his term of service. 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:

any sub-district may, after notice of a draft.
and before the same shall have taken place,

ting this new policy, Congress, however has
not taken away the right of the enrolled'per
son before the draft, to furnish a substitute
with the qualification before stated, and thus
secure his exemption from draft during the
time for which his substitute shall have been
accepted. 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
