Tiger was dressed in a full.rebel uniform abd was impudently loud in bis laudations of holder’s re bellion and its army, expressing bitqself as very'anxious to rejoin it ic the field. This last expression, with bis butteciut dress, were such certain indications he wal not an indigenous rebel, that the officer above named took him into.custody, brought him e Carlisle and Band ed him over to CoL He' derson, who locked him up in jail until next; morning, when he was remanded to the custody of the' Provost Marshal General of the State. la Uis simplicity the Raptor oF.Cbia rebol sajs be was afraid for vsome time of. being made the victim of a. bus*, for, although his prisoner’s talk.was quite <is. mltfa and-brazen ly rebel as any he had e *rßeard from hris oners.in-lbiL.field, yet he?had heard so much of the aomeiik in Dennsjilsania. since bis re lurn-from the army, th .t. he suspected this might be only a Coppc, Wd,' s We intense affection, for the .Southt.b brethren had in duced him to don the g ey livery of treason, isn t it funny that, a live rebel should be mis taken for a harmless Dannsylvaaia Coh per . head, Just because botb : eirds sing, the same song.

Less than days.remain of the fifty, given, in which to fill the quota nf the county under the last call for 600,000 men. • What has been done toward filling the quota, by re cruiting? Not much, we guess. Meantime,. Steuben, on the.nbrlh, and Bradford, on.the east, are at work; the former payings2so per recruit, in addition to the Government bounty. So don't gramble if your enterprising young men,go off. into otl\er and more liberal neighborhoods. The quota for the State is 61,700; for Tioga county, not far from 700—the exact figures not being declared —which our > aggregate credits may reduce to 600. , We have no doubt that were the forehanded liable and non-liable to subscribe to a fund for that purpose, enough could be procured to pay a handsome extra bounty, and the quota he ■filled in twenty-five days from date. But en- ergetic men must go right to work in every neighborhood, or it cannot be dope. If you wait for Hercules to pull you out ofthenmd, you will hot get out, good friends.. Wo hear that some are emigrating to Cana da, jnst now, from some of the town'ships. We are making up a roll of skedsddlers, and if they fail t 6 report at home within five days of the draft, if there be a draft, we shall yield to the urgent appeals of friends, and give the list to the public. . Who will move •to recruit the quota for the county? TO EAT, OE NOT TO EAT. This article is not based upon flour at $l5 a barrel, and batter at 40 cents a pound. . . People must eat, let the price of food'rule as’ it may. The question proposed to' be argued here, is. one in the argument of which we have to meet'with, and combat, the deep-rooted pxe-’ jndices and honest belief of a vast many peo ple. . We mean the- theological education of the American'' people. Briefly, we do not .expect this great war to end .through any amount of fasting and prayer. We look for no miraculous interposition of Di vine Providence to terminate the struggle. Bat do not make haste to misapprehend us. Fasting and prayer are excellent discipline for .men and women. Fasting induces a mental and physical condition favorable to' the influ' ence of higher intelligences ; in ancient times the prophets resorted to each discipline when they desired to hold converse with the Al mighty. In more modern times such, discipline —mortification of the flesh—was, and is. still, common. - We have nothing to offer against the practice itself; bat wish to cantion people against expecting too much from any penance, or ceremonial whatever.- We. do, not wish to favor the existence of a false impression in re gard io a matter of such- vital importance to the country. “ God hejps those who help, themselves”; or, as the Ist Napoleon put it— Providence is on the side of the heaviest battalions.” It is the faith revealed in great and persistent labor that removes mountains: it is tbs prayer that finds form and voice' in a girding up of the loins, and in that knotting of the sinews which is a menace, that is effectual in great emergencies. -Insomuch as fasting elevates thesonlby sensual depression, it may not be entirely inef ficacious in the work before us. If it exalt to the practice of the grand virtues of patriotism and firmness in the. path of duty, let us have a weekly fast day, by all means. That would be none- too many. -Bpt let ns ask a question, just here, which can do rib ham and may, perhaps, assist ns to estimate these .appointed fast days at their pre cise worth. . How many of ns fasted at all ? How many ate fewer meals, or less at a meal I How ma ny ate a coarser quality of .viands ? , Again— Did not some of. ns spread our tableswith a choicer variety of food on that fast day? In other Words, hew many mistook the day for a feast'day, and feasted rather than fasted f - Now, we shall at once acknowledge'that no thought of eating moreor less occurred! iojis last Thursday. Probably we observe more re al fast, and fewer real feast days, than many Catholics, even. ’ -Bat somehow our impulse to fast never yet ruled on an‘appointed’day. it nevei.sssipsd |he xight.day., , ‘ W ell, then, if not many lasted last Thursday ; THE TI Off A C OTJ NTT AGITATOR. 4—and that is the fact, we guess—of what par ticular benefit was it to make ashow of keep ings the day. : ? The Almighty cunnot be cheat ed by any pretence. -'Suppose we look at'the philosophy of Fast- Daye, religiously observed. - There is a aopee: thing real and beneficial in a strict and intelli gent observanoe'of appointed Days. First— there is the influence of the faith that fasting is good for both body and soul; that it chast ens the former, and exalts the latter so that it maycomeinto closer relations with its Creator. Second—there-is'a practice of the virtue of self-deuial; a heroic virtue, and capable of im mense work in the elevation of the race. Self denial is good for the soul. To deny oneself the gratification of the appetites for a single day, may seem a small thingbut not every man or woman will forego the pleasure of a capital dinner for conscience’ sake. ‘ The fact’ that few fasts, special or established, are observed but in name, ought to open the eyes of the great public. The Roman Catho lics abstain from meat on-Fridays, and more rigidly observe Lent tban any other denomina tion. Sat the Soman substitutes for meat that which ig-more '■ stimulating,—eggs, and highly seasoned fish ; so the abstinence from meat Is a mere pretence.: Observation teaches us that Church,'as well as. civil Fasts,-are not kept, as ' a rule. Their observance being an exception; the profit that would naturally accrue to-the soul and body is lost, and what Is worse, the people are led into a habit of doing ill what should he done well if attempted to be done at all. • The Result of the, election of Tuesday of last weekin Tioga county, .will be found print ed elsewhere. The- majority for the Amend ments is 3127—n fair majority,-the circumstan ces considered. The vote against the first amendment was 170. ' Eighty-seven of these votes to disfranchise the.qualified voters ,af th£ Commonwealth now in military service, were cast in Liberty township, which gave 30 majority for Woodward last fell.' In several districts no votes were cast against the amend ments. In most of the. districts a few of the Opposition went to the polls and- voted, ibr the amendments squarely. In this borough sever al of the more prominent Woodward men vo ted for the. amendments, in which they gave evidence of good sense.: Bnt here,- as in every district in the county, Liberty excepted, but frwof the Woodward 'men voted at all. Gen erally,"they did not go to the polls at all/ but in seme cases they came and went away with .oat voting; la Richmond no contrary votes were,-cast until just before the polls closed. Then a dozen and a half of the Coppers (came forward in a-drove and offered tickets without labels. These Were refused. They then fell back and prepared written tickets, properly la beled, which-were-received.; By reference to tl.w -will lie Boon fliat +haQA IK TTlfiTl voted against the soldiers only. So, in' Liber-; ty, the vote against the soldiers was nearly tre ble that.against the other amendments. .We' mention this that the animus of the Opposition may be,rightly appreciated. - - ... The vole in Ward,- the region of- Native Cop per, was remarkable. There are some 45 Un ion, and 125 Copperhead voters' in Ward, yet; . only 55 voteS; were polled—ls'Union, 10 Cop perhead. Evidently somebody; staid at home. The result in the State cannot be doubtful. Philadelphia gaye upward ef 16,000 majority for the Amendments, and'other localities have done well. The official for the State has not come to hand; but the friends of the soldier may safely, c onsider that Pennsylvania is right by a handsome majority.' Possibly a very few of the 170 who voted to disfranchise the soldiers In this county, did so under a misapprehension of -the facts. De signing.men did allege that the proposed am endment to the Constitution would .extend the right of suffrage to negroes and minors. Now the recitation of the" amendment in the election Proclamation, published ’ for weeks in nearly every paper in the State, states explicitly that the otherwise qualified voters of the State, in the military service, are to benefit by the am endment. Neither negroes nor; minors- being qualified voters in Pennsylvania, of course the right of suffrage will not'accrue to them under the amendment. Those who voted against the measure on that ground voted in inexcusable ignorance, or at the instance of bad men who wilfully misrepresented the matter in issue. We learn that some excused'their hostile votes on the ground that great frauds would re sult if the army was permitted, to-vote. When the volunteer army .was permitted-to-vote’in Mexico, how many of these objectors exclaim ed against it? .'But the Democracy hoped.to profit by the soldiers’ vole in that case 1 Ah I that alters the case. The Democracy -were not then, nor have they since been', thin-skinned about frauds that would inure to their political benefit. “ Your bull hoe gored my ox IV this time, say the virtuous, fiauchabhorring Cop pers. Well, that does alter the case. Who ever heard that- party denounce any rascality that increased its vote or its stealings ? Trot out that lucky auditor; we want to see him. Who ever heard an orthodox member of that party denounce the stupendous frauds of its agents in Kansas ? Candle-boxes stuffed with votes for the democratic candidates, wepe the fruits of the lofty virtue practiced by incipient Copperheadism. For' members of that party to cry out about possible frauds, is as if the most malignant devil in the bottomless pit 'should preach against profanity, rumpelling, and every crime of which human nature is ca pable. You can't be let off. on. that plea .gen llemeD. - - A Faie Hint. —The Boston Transcripiß&ja : “ The-Davises,-JeiL and Garret, are .at, the bead of .two cp-pperating factions. Jeff, leads the febels, add Garret the Copperheads." WAR NEWS. Ne'w York papers of Saturday brought news of another .invasion-of Maryland-by a rebel force of 8,000. The rebels, .occupied Hagers town, without doubt, for seine hours; but the Monday!papers report that the invaders-have gone into. Virginia again. This new invasion brought Qov. Curtin out in a proclamation asking for.SO,OOO militia for State defence. We are of those who regard these movements 'of the rebels as meaning a .great -deal more than- is -apparent. There should be.at .least 30,000 State troops in the field. - -Tioga- ought to furnish 300 men,- and without delay.' It needs a few live young men to get these men together. From Oen. Sherman the news is excellent. A great battle was fought before Atlanta on - the 28th nit., in which the rebels were repulsed with tremendous slaughter, their lose being not less than 8,000, to 2.000'0n our side. The rebels charged our lines repeatedly, bnt-finally fell back in despair, leaving their dead-and wounded in our hands. The rebel army,op posed to Sherman has Tost 30,000 men since the 25 th of July. •- ~ , The disaster to' oar anus before -Petersburg, briefly mentioned last week; turns out to have been over estimated.

While the government goffers the mest liberal terms for its loans, it believes that tbe very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty and patriotism of- the people.
