oral flEpartmtitt. The Draft. Secretary Stanton has officially notified the members of Congress from Illinois who called, upon him in reference to the draft, that the call was for three hundred thousand sew men, and not years of service, and hence that no present credit would be al lowed for three years' recruits over one year's recruits. Claims for credits for the . tenger term would, he said, be allowed next year. Bat his promise this year . for next, may be no better than his promise last year for credits this year. The most determined efforts says the Chicago Times are being made in all the Northern States to lighten the quotas tin der the present call, by credits carried for ward from former calls. Al this sort of thing is perfectly useless. Mr. *Lincoln, in issuing his last call, meant that he wanted 300,000 men to put into the ranks and there fore old credits will not answer his purpose. The sooner the people un lerstand thlt the ipresent call means men, the sooner will they understand what is before them. All L these States voted br Mr. Lincoln, no corn promise and more wit*. To carry on this `war he must have men, and now, when he asks fer men, they give him old credits. It *ea% do. If the present draft does not bring 300,000 men, another and another will be ordered, until the men shall be ob tained. H may just as well be given the men now as nest reek or next month ; and the sooner the nation gives him all its men and they are killed in battle, and all IL money and that is "hived" in the pockets of the New England pilgrams, the sooner will drafts and taxation cease and this 'cru d war be over." A good plan to get men wo ild be to conscript every able bodied Abolitionist who voted for more war. After they and the rebels had mutually killed each other, and thus dens humanity God service, D.:um:vats could stop in, bury the dead, ant save what would be left of the country. We have nothing special about the draft, only the declarations of the authorities that it will be made in districts where no effort b being made to recruit. The President says in a letter, that "the pending call is not for three hundred thou sand men, subject to fair credits, but it is for three hundred thousand remaining atter all fair credits have been deducted." In Regard to Torn Postal Currency. Those of our readers who are in the habit of doing business at the Post Office, under stand, doubtless, the strictness with which the rale prohibiting the clerks from receiv ing tom or mutilated notes in payment for postage stamps, Sic., is carried out. Not withstanding all this, it appears that, unless when the mutilation extends beyond a cer tain limit, torn or defaced notes cannot le tally be refused. Alluding to the subject, the United States Hail the official paper of the Post Office Department, says that "post matters are obliged to receive all Treasury notes for stamps or postage, if dearly genuine, no matter how tora or de faced they may be, provided that one-twen tieth part thereof be not missing—and frac tional currency, if not one-tenth part be 'missing. Such notes and currency received -as are unfit for re issue should be kept sep - crate and distinct, and returned as occa sion requires, to the Treasurer of the United • States, Washington, in surris not less than five dollars, to be exchanged for new. ' Dwelling Destroyed--Child Burnt to Death. A most shocking disaster occured in Mor rii township. this county, on Sunday last. About noon the dwelling of Phi ilip Minton, sone-story log building, caught fire while the male portion of the family were at church, and before assistance could reach the scene, the entire structure, together with all its contents, was entirely destroyed. A young child, aged about ten months, was in the house at the time, and although its mother, who had gone fur a bucket of water immediately before the breaking out of the conflagration, did all in her power to rescue it, it perished in the flames. It is presum •ed that the building caught from a broom with which Mrs. Minton had been sweeping !the hearth, and which, she had placed in the corner, without knowing that it contained firs. The loss falls heavily upon Mr. Min ' toa.—Ezaminer. RECRUITIXu DLIUNG THE WEEK. —The enlistments for the present week have not been u large as had been anticipated. Capt.

The Spring Elections, for township offices, take place on Friday, March 10th. Many persons seem to regard the local elections which occar annually in the boroughs and townships where they reside as of but little importance This is an entirely wrong view to take of the matter. The offices to be filled, of comparatively trifl ng magn:- tude, are nevertheless highly important. Much depends upon having the right kind of men for the Justices of the Peace, for constables, for school directors, and for election officers. It is the duty of every good eititen to take an interest and part in the selection and the election of those who are to fill these comparatively humble posi tions. To Democrats we would say, nominate your very best men, and then make a ‘ig orous effort to secure their election. Oil Agents. It will be seen by reference to a card it; to-clays paper, that our former partner Col. R. W. Jozrzs, in connection with Wu. E.

US-The President has issued a prollama tion convening the Senate on the 4th of Larch. Speech of Hon. Thos. Rose The following remarks were made by the Hon. Trios. ROSE, on the resolution ratifying the amendment of the Consti tution cf the United States, as made by Congress, abolishing slavery : Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I hope I shall be indulged in making a few re marks upon this question, which ap pears so much t agitate th American 'people at this time. I am e not in the habit, as you as know, of attempting to say much in the presence of such an august body of statesmen as this. [Laughter.] But as I sin a citizen of Pennsylvania, an also for the United States, I do think That I have as ninny ' rights under both Governments as oth ers of little darker complexion on the other side of the ball. 1 felt disposed to say nothing at this time, but there appears to be a disposition manifested on the opposite side of the chamber to bully down, to annoy, to deter us from expressing our sentiments upon this grave question. I have but one remark to make. I might talk here by the hour, but I do not wish to take up time while there is business of more impor tance pending. Bef ire I advance any further, how ever, I would just:observe to the gentle man who appears to be very familiar with that s3avenger of our country, the crow, that I think that I am just as well acquainted with another seavenger as he ! is with the crow. It is called the, turkey-buzzard. [Laughter ] I find that the turkey buzzard never alights upon sound flesh. He is always pick— lug out something that is tainted. It appears as it the gentleman took a great deal ofpains to pick out all the tainted places daat belonged to Democrats, both as citizens Wad AS politicians. L wiU jurt leave thisizawkark with him : "A word to the witie autleieat." Gentrepity . os. the other aide of the Ho Ms have Mined for tip* Congress of the Unioe the tight to Irmo the Coostiteditu the traitatt &IN*, qiti to make such amendments as they may see proper. I will ask if this body has anything to do with the national affairs' of these United States—that is to act upon them at the present time. The State of Pennsylvania is, of course, one I of the component parts of the United! . States, but we are acting in a State, and not in a national capacity. I would just say, Mr. Speaker, Pennsylvania has acted nobly. She exercised her right upon the question of slavery, and was one of the first Stat s in the Union to lead off in the abolition !of that institution. She has rid herself of it. Our statesmen who did that, or put it in the process of execution, have my mast profoand thanks, as well as my fondest recollection. I will say, Mr. Speaker, as the Bible has been frequently referred to, that upon that Bible, which the gentleman upon the other side of the chamber ap pear to appreciate so much, I was sworn, by you, Mr. SpeAer, and in the pres sence of my God, to support the Consti tution of the United States and the Con stitution of the State of Pennsylvania. I will read one clause of the United States that forbids us to interfere with the rights of any other State : "Full faith and credit shall be :given in each State to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of ever other State." We have met here holy to legislate for the State of Pennsylvania—not to legislate for the General Government, nor for any other State belonging to tins Republic. Now, those States are called "seceded States" are either in the ' Union or out of it. They are either a part and parcel of this Republic or they are not., If they are part and parcel of this Republic, we have no right, of course, to make any decision upon their public acts, records, or judicial proceed ings; and if they are not a ,part and parcel of these United States, we have, most undoubtedly, no right to do so. Take either view of the subject, and it can be seen just where we stand in re gard to this grave and important ►natter. Gnetlemen on the other side of the; House have said that they hoped that there would not be a single dissenting' voice. I would ask those g•entlemen from what that hope sprung ? You all know that the Democratic 'party has' been attached to the Constitution of the United States from the formation of this Government to the present time. We have ah. ais been opposed to tamper ing with it, either directly or indirect-! r. Now, I would just s:,y by way of con clusion that, in the presence of this body, before that desk, and by the Speaker, 1 have been sworn to "sup - poit the Con ttution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, and to perform my duty as a member of the House 'of representatives with fidelity." I can not do that if I undertake to interfere, or meddle, or tamper with the Consti tution of the United States, or with the Constitution of the State of Pennsyl vania. Therefore, lam not abashed or "ashamed" to speak upon this occasion, or to vote in accordance with my sen timencs. Ido not uphold slavery. I detest the rebellion. lam willing to let slavery die. Some gentlemen have said that we are not willing to let slavery die. lam willing to let it die. I want to have nothing at all to do ith it but my intention is to vote against this resolution. Something has been said about hav ing our votes recorded—as much as to threaten to expose those who shall vote their honest sentiment upon this ques tion. Now, as there has been some scripture quotations made, I will make o•ie. You will recollect that old Job, in his trials and in his temptations when taunted by his friends, exclaimed : "Oh that my words were now written ! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rcck forever !" want it to he "written," "printed in a book," "graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever," that I have voted in favor of the Constitution and the Union as we received them from our fathers. Ido not feel disposed to give any other vote. I cannot vote for the resolution ; I expect to vote against it, and here I will leave the matter with you. Christian Commission. The Second Anniversary of the Pittsburg Branch of the United States Christian Com mission was held last Sabbath evening in the First Presbyterian Church, and was presided over by the pastor, Rev. Wm. M. Paxton, D. D., (the Rev. Herrick Johnson, Chair man, being unwell.) The church was dense ly filled at an early hour, and hundreds were unable to gain admittance. The exercises opened with prayer by the Rev. W. D. Howard, D. D., after which the assemblage united in singing the hymn corn- triencil g "MI bail the power ofJesus' name " Dr. Paxton, after a few introductory re marks, in which he briefly alluded to the good which was being accomplished through the agency of the Christian Commission, read the following summary of the operations of the Pittsburgh Branch during the past year: During the year $02,705 have been re ceived from all sources, which with Wanes on hand January 1, 1864, made a total amount of $100,272.38. Of this amount $77,689.93 have been paid for hospital stores, $1,300 for chapel tents, $14,759.12 for pub lications, $1,024.99 for office rent, wages, freights, postage, drayage, &c., leaving a balance of cash on hand January Ist, of $2,872.39; 4,892 cases of hospital stores and publications have been sent to our armies during the past year, amounting in value to $208,940.24. The sort of distribution has been 4.10 of one per cent. of the value of the storm The following publications have been die t-ibated: 2,241,076 pages of paper, 974,891 pages et Traeta, 124,524 =An soldiers' books, 7,404, large books for libraries, 18,- 944 Testament". 21,475 Hymn and Psalm bks, 40,120 magazines, 957 room of nrhing pork 87.114 d envelopes. thrionion Clootolesion have eat • d made np during the five months .gdlej jaanary first, 4,881 articles of hospital eitith ing, covered 1,843 pairs of crotches, and made 1,845 rolls of bandages.

Frew, Esq., lately returned from a visit to the Army of the Potomac. and Rev. George Mingins. We regret that our space limits us to such a brief notice this week. In our next we will give a somewhat lengthy article, in which the workings of this great instrumentality fur pod will be set forth in detail.. At the Close of the meeting a collection amounting to over $13,000 was taken up. This was a large and liberal offering, hut the friends of the Chris tian Commission everywhere must arouse themselves to Its help. The appeal of Mr. Stuart, in another column must not be un heeded. Three hundred thousand fresh men are going into the ranks, and these, as well as all our noble veterans, will demand the care of the Commissiou.—Presbyterian Banner. Culture of Potatoes. An Agricultural Society established at Plantz, in Saxony, under the title of 'Society ' for the cultivation of Potatoes,' has just pub lished a number of reports. The following ' is an abstract of a paper on the potato : `The best specimens of potatoes grown is sandy soil have quickly degenerated and given only an indifferent crop in the strong clayey land in the neighborhood of Planitz. Since the foundation of the Society, in 1860, the members have made numerous experi ments on strong, light, clayey, graveliey, and stony soils. The society procured samples of every ciescrii.ti,m of potato sold, and they propagated those which proenced the best results. After a year's Weil they have generally fuuud that the greatest number of potatoes succeeded best in light and salt' land. They found however that the long po tato from Algiers became rotten in sandy soil, and produced large and perfectly round potatoes in strong land. The white English kidney potatoe planted in stony ground, pro duced potatoes quite red. The society has offered ten killogrammes of seed potatoes to any farmer who will contribute five frances annually, on the sole condition that he will furnish the society with a statement setting forth the quantity of potatoes- prodnoed and the nature of the soil in which they were planted. GENZAAL MCCLELLAN IN EUROPE--The innumerable friends of General McClellan will be glad to learn that that Oistinguished officer, with his estimable family, has arrived safely in England.

During Sunday General McClellan remained in veri oo ,ere he was visited, among other persons, by the United States Vice Consul, accompanied by whom he with his family at tended divine service.

Along the seacoast of Maine it is about two feet deep. In the White Mountain region snow has fillen to a great depth. Some of the drifts in the roads are from 12 to 15 feet deep, and the snow is so dry that the wind blows it into the most fantastic shapes.

On account of the withdrawal of the Senior Editor from the Messenger establishment, it is absolutely necessary that the outstanding accounts for sub scription, advertising. &c., should be immediately settled. Our patrons, therefore, whatever their indebtedness, must promptly settle their balances.— Will they do so without a day's delay, as tne debts of the office, which are numerous and large, must be paid, and paid promptly.

St. LOsis In Domini; It is said a wager of five hundred dol lars a side has been made at Alton, that if the rise of the river is . as great this spring as it was in 1859, the Miss issippi would break through into Long lake, opposite the mouth of the Mis souri, ana thus leave St. Louis eleven miles from the river. The gentleman who offered to bet is the owner of the land which is being cut through by the current of the Missouri, and he states that less than a quarter of a mile breadth of land only is left as a barrier. It must be remembered that this spring will see a repetition of the seven years' flood, and, should the river break through at the above point it would render useless the scheme for a railroad bridge, as the present bed of the river could be crossed dry shod. flThe business man who puts his sign in the newspapers does a much wiser thing than a man who fastens it over the door, and who would think of neglecting that?
