Sijc 3fcfEcvsonwn THTJKSDAY. APBJL,6, 1865. Connecticut Election. The election iu Connecticut on Monday, resulted in a glorious triumph for the u ;rtnists. Buckinaham's majority will m nnn anA ir-n o-in nnc member ol rv.nsc rr5vhir us the whole delegation and alegcly increased vote in the Legis lature. Truly the week just cio?cu ua prorcd a glorrous one. Fire. The residence of Mr. William Clark, in Middle SmithCeld township, near lSusli kill, in this County, cauglit fire, on Tues day 'morning, at about 4 o'clock, and with nearly all the furniture, was totally de stroyed. It is not knowu how the fire orig inated, but supposed from the stove pipe which passed through one of the floors. AVc have not heard the loss estimated, but as there was uo insurance it will prove a heavy one to Mr. Clark and family. . , ; Burglars About. The stores of Messrs. W. J. Wallace & Co., in this borough were broken into on Vridnv uiirht last. The burglars affected - o au entrance by prying open the back win dow shutters, which were secured by iron InjIJs: Oucc in they made a demonstra ion upon the Iron Safe, but found it al together too strong for their efforts. Pow der was frcclv used in their attempt to force it. as were also Jimniys, and the oth cr appliances of burglary, but without ef fect. The safe bears evidence of the most tcwie labor on the part of the thieves labor which, if it had been employed iu a honest calling, would have rewarded them far-more handsomely than it did as em ployed. The money drawers were also ransacked, but some three or four dollars in loose change was all the pay the thieves' got for the risk they ran of detection and a lengthy sojourn in the Penitentiary; iud even here their haste caused them to -overlook some dollar and a half which lay in the back part of one of the drawers. From the look of things in the store, on Saturday morning, it was judged that the burglars were intent on securing money ouly, or that they were disturbed in their operations, as nothing appeared to have been touched except the safe and money drawers. In their haste to get away they left behind them a skeleton key, No. 4, which no doubt the Messrs. Wallace will take pleasure in handing to them, either individually or collectively, if they call for it. "Richmond Oars.- -Lee's Army on a Stam pede. The official despatches to be found in to-day's paper anu ounce a result that has caused the most heartfelt rejoicing not only through the loyal North, but through out even rebeldom itself. Richmond and Petersburg have indeed fallen, and Lee, their Rebel-called invincible defender, with but a fragment of his once powerful imny is seeking safety in flight as rapidly as legs can carry them. Each day but adds lustre and trophies to our arms, while to the rebels themselves it but plunges them farther into the vortex which their fiendish determination to rule or ruin, created. All over the country the glorious neWf is received with bonfires, processions, and such other demonstrations as go to show thc rejoicings of the public heart. In our own borough of Stroudsburgthe news, ou Monday, was hailed with bonfires, and on Tuesday night, with a most splendid Torch light procession, which reflected credit upon us and upon those who were iparticularly active in getting it up. Prep arations for a more becoming and more general celebration of our victories are on the tapis, the programme for which we hope to bo able to lay before our readers next week. Fernelius calls disease an affection of thc body, contrary to nature : a purtuba- tion of its habit; a derangemcut of its courses. What disease is, sometimes eludes human intelligence, but some dis eases are known their origin, action and even their antidotes. Whoever has dis covered an actual remedy for one disease, has done something for his race. Doct. Aycr has done more, for his medicines afford us the means to control and cure several daugcrous disorders. We rarely speak on medical subjects, preferring to leave them to physicians, who understand them better. Dutsuch effects as are seen m our midst, on affections of the lungs by Aycr's Cherry Pectoral, on scrofulous complaints by his Saraparilla, and on the liver complaint that they cure by Ayer's -fins, siiould not be iguored.

To the Old World the success of these Peonies. Loans is one of the wonders of a Republic. The Government does not seek! a.

There can be no stronger evidence of pub lic confidence in Government securities. While nearly all other stocks have gone from twenty to fifty, and even a greater P cent, within a few weeks, all forms of U. S. bonds and stocks have remained flrm cept the slight fluctuations that arc incident to. all rapid changes in the money market. Our readers will remcm cor that the subscribers to tt,e 7-30 Loan receive semi-annual interest at the rate of 6even and three-tenths per cent, pci an num in currency, and at the end of three years from June 15th, 1865, they will have the option of receiving payment in full or converting their notes into a 5-20 six per cent, gold interest bond. The late great decline in the premium on gold makes these notes more desirable than ever as an investment, and it should not be forgotten that their exemption from state or municipal taxation adds largely to their value. There is no intcrrption in the receipt of subscriptions or the deli very of the notes. All banks, bankers, and others acting as Loan Agents, will pay subscribers thc interest in advance from the day of subscription until June 15th.

Such being thc provision of thc law of u" u,u "J-1- auuamuico iui ed in anticipation oi a aran, tne law March 3d, 18G5, provides in ii 33d section as loiiows: "That any person or persons enrolled m anv sub-district may, after notice ot a dralt, and before the same shall nave taken place, cause to be mustered into the tervicc ol the United States such number of recruits, not subject to draft as they may deem expedi ent, which recruiis shall - stand to the credit of the persons thus causing them lobe mustered in, and shall be taken as substi- tutes lor SUCH persons, or so many oi ineiu as mav be drafted, to the extent ol the number of such recruits, and in the order designated bv the nrinciolas at the time such recruits are Thus as aforesaid mustered in." It is clear that this enactment provide for quite another case than that contemplated w i ho nrv:;nn tn whinh T hfivn hpfin nilvor- tinin tfmstnfntnnf ififu and confers unon an enrolled person a privilege entirely distinct from t int dron tn inn iv t int Rial lltft n which he mav avail himself at his option, in preference to the privilege conferred by the act ot 18G4. Under the the act of 3d vnnpo nF n flrn the service" a "recruit not subject to draft" whpn "rprrnit" will "stand to the credit" of the enrolled person, causing him to be mus- tmwl In in thn nvnnt of thn nrincioal heinp drafted, and be taken, on the happening of that contingency, as a substitute for -fuich principal. But thc credit shall avail him on v for tl.o nrirnr.ilnr ilr.nft in nrlvnnnft finrl an- J . r- . . - . . . . fir nnt nn nt which ho mav have secured the "recruit. - - There is no provision in the act of 18G5 that thc nerson furnishm? a "recruit" under the 23d section, shall be "exempt from draft during the lime ior wmcn tne recruit may have been accepted and enlisted. But the only benefit which a person so furnishing a recruit derives under the act of JSuy, is the securing in tne event or U2 L'Ginsr uraltcd.i . i ft i i - ef a credit on a particular draft in anticipa tion of which thc recruit may have been fur nished. The "recruit" may be mustered in to the service for three years, and yet, as a substitute, he can avaiJ the person who caus ed him to be metered in for, and with res pect to thc one draft before, and in anticipa tion of which he was obtained. The liabili ty of the principal to be drafted at any oth er drajts occurring after thc mustering in of the "recruit and during thc term of Ihb ser vice, is not affected. There is manifestly therefore, no conflict between the respective sections of the acts of 1864 and 1865, to which you have called my attention. One does not infringe upon or even cross the path of the other. They give differont and dis tinct rights and privileges lo the citizens lia ble to draft. He has the alternative course to pursue before any draft, cither to buy a "substitute," and secure him to be mustered in, and thus obtain exemption from the draft, during tlve entire term of enlistment of thc substitute, if the latter be so long not liable to draft, or he may procure for the Govern ment a "recruit" not liable to draft, and ob tain credit for such recruit in case he should be drafted, subjecting himself, however, to the liability ot being compelled to repeat the operational every succeeding draft that may be ordered by the President. Chiefly, I suppose, the design of thc pro vision of the act of 1865, under consideration was to offer inducement and present a stim ulus to numbers or associations of individuals in any sub-district, before the liability of any of them became fixed by a draft to obtain volunteer recruits for thc army. Con gress in this law, oilers such associations a premium to use their exertions to fill up the armies. It says to the residents of the mul titudinous counties, townships, wards nnd precincts throughout tho country, "oganize yourself into recruiting societies ; induce volunteers to enlist into thc service before the draft; pay them such amounts of bounty as you may be able to raise by your contri butions to the recruiting funds of your sever al districts ; and when they have beon en Issted into the service, tho volunteers you may have raised will stand to the credit of as many of you as may happen to be drafted to tho extent of the number of recruits, in the order designated,' and the time the re cruits are mustered in." Such is the declaration and promise of the new law. Its polioy is to encourage recruit ing, not the procuration of substitutes; to in duce the people to organize associations for the advancement of volunteering, rather than the purchase ot substitutes. In enacting this new law, and inaugura provision of the 23d section of W clearly demonstrates, trom a thirty years March, 1S85, he may in ad- succcssiui practice, mat me aunnuig con-. fr "rnvsr fn hp mutfrrnd into I a'cqucncc of self-abuse may be radically curec ting this new policy, Congress, however, had not taken away the right ot the enrolled per- son before the draft, to furnish a substitute with thn nnnlihAAtmn hnln.n nf nl 1 . . Bcuuru ma exemption irom urau uuring the time for which his substitute shall have been accepted. He still has it in his power to . n n f . . 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. f .J 'f M . 3 i w ; r luJ. . supersede inu 'iui bbuuuh ui uiu aci oi t ob- - . mf ' T TUp spnnTtil niipstion which von barn ro, ferred tome, is, wheUier the recruits, which " " v-ww..
