Capture of a REBjt.—'Xhe Carlisle Herald
says that on Monday evening, at Newport,
Perry county, Captain JohnHarUell captured
an out-and-out live rebel, v’ho was making his
way as.rapidly as possible "t join his comrades
at Richmond. He gave Ijb name as Thomas
D. Slack, and said he belofl ;ed to the 7ih Lou
isiana Tigers; .had been captured in one of the
Wilderness'.batfles; had tiw taken to Point
Lookout and from there .to.Elmira,-N. Y., from
whence tie with ono of his comrades escaped by
overpowering the sentinel. 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.

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

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. The losses were confined
to two-divisions, and will not exceed 2,500.

forts in front of Petersburg the other day, bat
failed."-They made-an assault-upon the fort

CAUTION.
u. S. 7-30 Loan,
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY „i„ f
notice that subscriptions will be received ft,,
Coupon Treasury Note*, payable three years
Auguat IS, 16|84, with semi-annual interest at u,,
rate of 7-3loths per cent, per annum,—principally
interest both to bo paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder it maturity, into six per cent, gold heart,
bonds, payable not less than five nor more than twsa
ty yoarf from their date, a* the Government m«y
elect. They will be issued in denominations of sio
$lOO, So oo, $l,OOO and $5,«00, and all subscript!*,,;
must be for fifty dollars or some multiple of fifty del.
lars. -
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
.transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the
original Certificates of Deposit as they can beptepar.
*d. ‘
, As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons
making deposits subsequent to that date mast pay Uia
interest accrued from date of cote to date of deposit.
Parties depositing 325,000 or upward for these
notes at any one time will be allowed, a-commission
of one-quarter of one per centr, which will be paidby
the Treasury Department upon receipt of bill for the
amount, certified to by the officer with whom thq de
posit was "made. No deductions for commissions
must be made from deposits.
Special AdrantageroftlilrLoai).
It is a National Saying* Bank, offering a higher
rate of interest than any other, and ths best security.
Any Savings Bank which 'pays Us depositors In U. 3.
Notes, considers that it is paying in the best circula
ting medium of the country, and it cannot pay in any
thing hotter, for its own assets are either in govern
ment securities or in notes or bonds payable is gov
ernment paper.
It is equally convenient as a permanent or tempo
rary investment. - The notes can always be sold
within a-fraction of their face and accumulated inter
est, and are tbe best security with banks as collater
als for disceunts.
Convertible into a 6 per cent 5-20 Odd
Bond.
In addition, to the very liberal interest on the notes
for three years, tills privilege of conversion is now
worth about three per cent, per annum,' for the cor
aent rate for 6-20 Bonds is not lets than nine per cent,
premium, and before the war the premium on boned
States stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be
seen that the actual profit on this loan, at tbe present
market rate, is not less than ten per cent per annum.
Exempt from, Stale or municipal
Taxation.
But aside from all tbe advantages we have enimer
ated, a special Act of Congress exempts a£l Treasury
notes and bonds from local taxation. On the average,
■this exemption is wortii about two per cent, per an
num, according' to the rate of taxation in various
parts of tha country. ' .
It is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders as those issued by the government.
In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties, or stock companies, or separate
communities, onlyi iz.pledged for payments while the
whole property of the country is held to secure the
discharge of all the^obligations of tbe United States.
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.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.
Tbe party depositing must endorse upon the original
certificate tbe denomination of notes required, and
whether they are to be issued in blank or payable to
order. When so endorsed it must be left with tbe of
ficer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to tbe
Treasury Department.
Subscriptions will bo received by the Treasurer of
the United States, at Washington, the several Assist
ant Treasurers and designated Depositaries, and by
the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF IOWANDA,
and by all National Banks which are depositaries of
public money, and ALL RESPECTABLE BANKS
and BANKERS throughout the country will give far
ther information and afford every facility to subscri
bers, -- .
