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.

Spring Elections.
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.
G EsQ., of this town, has ertablished
an agency in the East for the purchasewand
sale of oil lands 'tnd leases—oil well interests
an d oil stocks. They Lave opened an office
in Philadelphia, with branch offices in Bal
timore, New York and Boston, Cul. Jones
has been remarkably successful in the sale
of oil territory iu our county, as many of
our citizens can testify. His zeal energy
and perseverence, in this business, have
been extraordinary. We can cheerfully rec=
ommend him to the "oil public" in genesal,
and the people of thi4 part of the state in
Particular, as a re!iabie find ettNent sales
man who will soli tltoir lands leases &e as
well, if not better than they can do them
selves.
Gapen is a lawyer f fair ahilties, and
considerable tact and energy, well known to
the citizens of our county. He has had
considerable experience in the oil business.
We wish the new firm success and Prosper
ity.

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

jaanary first, 4,881 articles of hospital eitith

made 1,845 rolls of bandages. '
This report was follcrwed by able and stir
ring addresses from Bishop Simpson, Chap
lain M'Cisbe, George H. Stuart, Eu., Maj.
Gen. Jas. S. Negley, Win. 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. The China, in which
steamship the General and family sailed from
this port on the 26th of January, arrived at
Liverpool on Saturday, February 4. 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. On Monday the dis
tinguished party proceeded to London en
route to Paris and Rome.

To our Subscribers.
On account of the withdrawal of the
Senior Editor from the Messenger

that the outstanding accounts for sub

immediately settled. Our patrons,
therefore, whatever their indebtedness,
must promptly settle their balances.—
Will they do so without a day's delay,

numerous and large, must be paid, and
paid promptly. "A hint to the wise is

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? Where one person
read it in the newspaper. No matter
how well a business is known, he can
always pick up new customers if he will
take the pains to advertise; for by neg
lecting the means of securing trade he
looses the best of profi.s.
