Election Tuesday, Aug. 2, 1864.
Substitutes and their Bounties.
We have frequently called the attention of
our readers, of late, and now we have had our
attention earnestly directed to the fact, that
the most criminal combinations exist in this
city and throughout the State, to defraud men
who are honest in their desire to go as sub
stitutes, as well that they may serve their .
country and at the same time provide for the
greater comfort of their families. The Gov
ernment and the people have appropriated
the most liberal sums of money to be dis
bursed as bounties to volunteers and substi-
Antes. Hereafter, when the history of the
struggle in which we are now engaged, is
written, this liberality will be regarded as the
most wonderful feature of the whole pro
ceedings—wonderful, that the resources of a
whole people were thus unselfishly devoted to
promote the great interests of the public
weal. Bat 'in the midst of this wonder, an
equal degree of disgust will be created, that
a people thus liberal displayed so little saga
city in permitting combinations of impostors,
4 , sharks " and money greeds, to attract fiom
its original and contemplated purpose, this
lavish expenditure of money, to monopolize
it themselves, to cheat the gallant men for
whom it was intended, to defraud the defence
less families to supply whose wants it was ap.
propriated. These are humiliating facts. In
history they will become disgraceful; and the
wonder to us is, that the criminality of those
engaged in these transactions has not already
filled our penitentiaries and jails with these
rascals. For instance, we yesterday heard of
a case, in which three bounty brokers man
aged to induce a good man to offer himself
and go as a substitute; paying him $250 when
they received $7OO. This is not an isolated
ease. It is ()illy one of a large number, that
occurs to us as we write this article. Why
such men are allowed to ply their nefarious
business in the streets of the capital—why
they are permitted with impunity thus to de
fraud the very innocence of our patriotic men,
is for those invested with authority in the
premises to answer. It is enough for. us to
attention to, and denounce the fact.
—ln this connection, we suggest, for the
credit as well of Harrisburg, (because the cit,
must suffer the disgrace of this business) in
for the protection of the substitutes and vol
unteers offering now to enter the army, that
some arrangements be made by the honest
portion of the community, for the protection
of the men thus defrauded. It would be ac
difficult matter to form a central committee.
whose business it should be to see that ever
dollar appropriated for substitutes, is fairly
disbursed. This is done in other cities, where
the frauds which disgrace us are unknown.
We, in Harrisburg, suffer from the villainy o'
strangers who have been attracted here to
make money by speculating in the patriotism
of our people, and for whose dishonest prac
tices 'every honest citizen of Harrisburg is
made responsible abroad. We solemnly and
earnestly protest against this injustice, and
call upon the Provost Marshal to ensure the
oily and the soldiers from farther disgrace in
this connection. And in the meantime, it
becomes the duty of every good citizen of
Harrisburg, openly and fearlessly to denounce'
the vampires that infest the street corners,
and dog the steps of men honestly desirous
to enter the army, only that they may live on
their blood and rob them of their just, re
wards. In this denunciation we do not in
clude those who, in a legal, fair and business
way, assist others in prbottring substitutes,
and who direct others again in the way of
getting the highest bounties. The business
of such as these is legitimate and honorable.
It is only those who take advantage of the
inexperience and ignorance of the volunteer
and the substitute, to rob them of bounties
which the people and the government appro
priated for their uses, that we denounce, and
whom all good citizens should interest them
selves in exposing and thwarting. Let us
have, then, a citizens' central bounty nom
mittee. Who will be the first to move and
give this suggestion a practical effect ?
A Flat Vote Needed.
It will not do for the friends of the soldiers
to be too confident of success. Two years
ago, by our supininess, we allowed the ene
my to carry Pennsylvania—electing half a
dozen Congressmen, an Auditor General and
Surveyor General, and a Legislature which
gave us a copperhead United States Senator
and State Treasurer. •We might then have
carried the State, but we did nothing, while
our enemies worked "silently, but effectually,
and Carried the day.
they may defeat the Amendments unless we
bestir ourselves. Nowhere do the Cops advo
cate them—in many places they openly op
pose them. We fear that there is an exte'.sive
secret effort to vote down the Amendments. In
our town we have heard of men who have
fine, patriotic sons in the Army, whose party
zeal so far outruns natural affection, that they
pr loose to vt,te to disfranchise their own eons
"Nigger" is the pretence—hatred of the Ad
ministration, probably the real meti*e. Tarn
out and vote! all who desire the preservation
of the WWI of our Whore -
. TEILULDttet DAILY BEPOITti, long a mod
est, pert and trim little Sheet of 12 by 24
inches, has suddenly swollen to a large size,

lailie;." But alas for the Reporter, it has had
oreathed into its columns the poison of cop
perheadisro, which accounts for their expan
,ion, and it now advocates the cause of the
malcontent Democracy of Berks county. It
has chosen a rough road to travel.
Information in Relation to the
Coming Draft.
VOLUNTEERS, SOBSTrruIES AND DRAFTED MEN
Although we have heretofore given consid
eration to the rights, duties and incidents
arising under the enrollment laws, we are
admonished by frequent communications and
inquiries that theref ore many citizens under
exercise of mind upon the subject, who have
not yet paid sufficient attention to the matter,
or properly understood that which has been
said about it. We therefore give the follow
ing synopsis of the requirements of the law,
embracing some things hitherto touched upon,
and others not yet noticed.
First. The exemptions of the original act,
to fathers of motherless children under twelve
years of age, to some members of families in
which others are in service, to sons who are
the support of aged and destitute parents,
and for other similar causes, are no longer
allowed.
Second. The commutation clause, by
which a person who was drafted might be re
leased upon the payment of three hundred
dollars is repealed, with a single exception in
the case of persons conscientiously opposed
to bearing arms, ' who may commute upon
payment of three hundred dollars, or other
wise be considered as " non-combatants,"
and if drafted be held to service for hospital
duty, or in the care of freedmen. Persons
physically incapable of duty are exempted
upon surgical examination.
Third. The division of citizens into two
classes, the second class not being liable to
service until the first class was exhausted, is
abolished, and all.citizens liable are enrolled
in the same class and may be held to similar
service.
Fourth. The age of liability to the draft is
between twenty and forty-five years.
Fifth. Volunteers may be received who are
between the ages of eighteen and forty-five
years. Youth between sixteen and eighteen
years may be received with the consent of
their parents or guardians. The enlistment
of boys under under sixteen-years of age is a
military offence in the officer who recruits
them, who may be punished therefor.
Sixth. Volunteers, whether white or col
ored, receive the Government bounty, accord
ing to the time for which they agree to serve.
For one year, $100.; for two years, $200; for
three years, $3OO. These amounts are paid
in installments.• To a one year's volunteer,
when mustered in, $33,33; to a two year's re
cruit, $66,66; to a three year's recruit, $lOO.
Two other installments are to be paid to the
volunteer or his representatives during the
term of service.
Seventh. The monthly pay of a private,
either volunteer, substitute or drafted man, is
sixteen dollars a month. Non-commissioned
and commissioned officers receive an increased
pay beyond the rates which were allowed be
tore the last session of Congress.
Eighth. Drafted men receive no bounties
from the Federal Government, and we pre
,ume they will not receive any from the town
.)r county to which they belong.
Ninth. Substitutes for drafted men, or for
nen liable to draft, furnished in advance of
he draft, receive no ~bounties from the Gov
,rnment. In Philadelphia, if they go for three
-ears, they will receive two hundred and fifty
toilers, and for a lesser term in proportion.
Tenth. Representative substitutes for per
.ons not liable to draft. are considered as vol
• inteers, and receive the Federal and rnnnici
ail bounties, and whatever their principal
isrees to pay them.
Elev,euth. Volunteers and representative
iubstitutes may be mustered in for one, two,
nr three years, as they may elect.
Twelfth. Substitutes for drafted men, or
men liable . to draft, may be accepted for one,
wo, or three years, according to the time tha
he principal would have to serve, or as he
nay engage hem.
Thirteenth. Representative substitutes for
.)ersons not liable to draft, may be persons
who are liable to draft.
Fourteenth. Substitutes for persoits liable
o draft, tarnished before drafting, must not
hemselves be liable. They may either be
aliens, veterans or sailors who have served
two years and been honorably discharged, or
the citizens of the States in rebellion, or
slaves of rebel owners.
Fifteenth. The principal shah be exempt
from draft during the time that the said sub
stitute is not liable to draft, not exceeding the
time for which the substitute shall be ac
cepted.
Sixteenth. The United States no longer
pays premiums for the procuration of re
_
crafts.
Seventeenth. Men furnished under the
call of July 18, 1864, whether enlisted for one,
two or three years, as well as all excess or de
ficiency of three years' men on calls hereto
fore made, will count as man for man. The
equalization of the amount of military ser
vice rendered by the different States and parts
of States will be effected hereafter.
Eighteenth. A substitute for an enrolled
man is credited, and, therefore, deducted
from the quota of thetlocality he enlists in.
Nineteenth. An enrolled man furnishing an
alien as a substitute is exempt for the time of
service of the substitute, unless the alien be
comes a citizen, or declares his intention to
become so, in which case the substitute is
liable to draft, and his principal like Wise.
Twentieth. A man may enlist in the army
or navy for three years as a substitute. If in
the navy, he must be twenty-three years old.
Twenty-first. Recruiting
agents in Rebel
States must have a letter of appointment
from the State Executive. The particular
field of a State in which the agent is to op
erate, is to be specified in the letter of ap
pointment. All recruiting agents will be sub
ject to the rules and articles of war. It is
made the duty of the commanding officer of
any department or district in which recruit
ing agents operate, and of commanding
officers of rendezvous, to order back to his
State or arrest and hold for trial, as he may
deem best, any recruiting agent who shall
commit frauds upon the Government or re
cruits, or who shall violate the instructions
issued to govern this recruitment, or be guilty
of any offence against military law. No man
shall be recruited who is already in the mili
tary service as a soldier, teamster, laborer,
guide, &c., or who is so employed by the mill
tary authorities as. to be of importance to
military operations. Recruits procured under
this privilege must be delivered by the recruit
ing agents at one of the following named ren
dezvous, namely:—Camp Casey, Washington,
D. C. ' for Northeast Virginia; Camp near Fort
ress Monroe for Southeast Virginia; Camp
Newborn, N. C., for North Carolina; Camp
Hilton Head, 8. C., for South Carolina and
Florida; Camp Vicksburg, Miss., for Missis
sippi; and Camp Nashville, Tenn., for Geor
gia and Alabama.
Twenty-second: If it is desired' to put any
of tike volunteer recruits from the -rebellious
States into service as substitutes before or
After the draft, they must be.sent without ex
pense to the Government by' the recruiting
agent to the district in which the principal is
enrolled, ma there - be natafteted,w by the
Provost Marshal, who will isms the proper
substitution papers. It is made the duty of
commanding officers to afford to recruiting
agents all such facilities as they can provide.
without detriment to the public service, and
to prevent recruiting by unauthorized parties.
Twentythird. The enlistment of bundled
day men does not operate to reduce the Ha
billty of the dia. rict from whioh he volun
teers. But if any hundred day man is draft
ed his hundred days' service counts in re
ducing his term of service.
Twenty-fourth. Although the volunteers
are taken for one, two or three years, the
draft is for one year.
There is sufficient in these statements, we
think, to arouse the attention of every citizen
to the necessity. of doing all he can to meet
the emergency which will come on the sth of
September. After that day all Government
bounties cease, and every one who is drafted
or liable to be drafted will have to take care
of himself.

The Retreat of Gen. AvertH.
BALTIMORE, duly 26-3 P. M.
The evening edition of the American pub
lishes the following;
We have been able this morning to ascer
tain nothing definite with regard to the rebel
movements at Martinsburg and along the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio reacted, further
than the fact that most of the exciting stories
in circulation on Monday evening, were either
unfounded or greatly exaggerated.
As far as we can ascertain this morning,
General Averill has not been killed, as re
ported, but was compelled by a greatly supe
rior rebel force to fall back to the Potomac,
through Martinsburg to Williamsport, • Md.,
carrying with him the garrison at that point.
Whether the rebels occupied Martinsburg
last night is not known ; but - of its evacuation
by our troops there seems to be no doubt.
This morning trains to Frederick and Wash
ington went out as usual, and a train for
Sandy Hook left at 7.45. The suspension of
telegraph operations last night is said to
have been caused the storm of wind blowing
down the polls.
Gen. Hunter • has, however, forbidden all
telegraphic communication with Harper's
Ferry, and of course we have nothing direct
from that vicinity.

RETURN OF THE REBEL RAIDERS
REPORTS OF DISASTERS.
AVERILL BACK TO HARPER'S FERRY,
Rebels at Martinsburg.
Suspension of Railroad Travel.
BALTIMORE, July 26
The city was last night full of rumors of
rebel movements in the Shenandoah Valley,
together with vague accounts of disasters to
the force under General Averill, which last
week attacked and defeated a portion of Gen.
Earley's raiders near Winchester. Among
the rumors was the death of Generals Kelly
and Averill, as well as of Col. Mulligan.
The facts, as far as we have been able to
ascertain them, are that General Averill, after
his successful encounter with Early's forces,
pursued them to the mountains beyond Win
chester, where Early made a stand, and after
heavy fighting on Saturday and Sunday, the
rebels having been in the meantime largely
reinforced, Gen. Averill was compelled to fall
back to Harper's Ferry, bringing with him
the forces at Bunker Hill, and causing also
the evacuation of Martinsburg. The rebels
appear to have pursued him in his retreat,
and yesterday afternoon again occupied Mar
tinsburg, where they cut the telegraph and
commenced again the destruction of the track
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
• Our forcei, according to the best advi . ced We
could obtain, are now concentrated at Hard
per's Ferry, tinder command of General Hun
ter, whilst the rebels hold Martinsburg, and
rumor states them to be in large force, but
this can hardly be possible beyond the strength
of Early's and Breckinridge's forces. Their
object in returning is doubtless to give time
for the safety of their trains of plunder, and
to secure the collection of a portion of the
crop in. the Shenandoah Valley. That they
may again come into Maryland for more plun
der is highly probable, especially if they find
the way open to them, as is generally the case
in the military management of affairs along
the border.
As to the extent of the disaster to our forces
in the fight beyond :Winchester, we have no
authentic information, nor have we any con
firmation of the rumors of the death of Gen
erals Averill, Kelly and Colonel Mulligan. It
is not likely, •however, all three of these offi
cers have fallen, and we are inclined to doubt
the whole story.
We learn that orders were sent to remove
the army and medical stores from Frederick
last night, as a matter of precaution, and to
prepare to evacuate the city in case of the
advance of the rebels unchecked in that di
rection.
That the official intelligence from the Val
ley last evening was not as favorable as could
be desired, may be inferred from the fact that
Gen. Wallace convened the loyal leagues last
night to advise with them as to holding them
selves in readiness in case their services may
be required for the defence of ' the city.
These precautions are, of course, adviiable,
and our citizens should be in readiness, at all
times, to meet the invaders, and to prevent
their repeating the mirages recently perpetra
ted in the vicinity of the city.
Dispatches received here llist night merely
announced that General Averill had been com
pelled to retire before a superior fOrC.e to Har
per's Ferry, but mentioned no serious disasters.
SUSPENSION OP TRAVEL ON THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO
At an early hour yesterday afternoon dis
patches were reoeived from Sandy Hook and
other points by the Master of Transportation,
to the effect that hostile movements had been
resumed on the part of the enemy, and that
it would be hazardous to attempt to run cars
throu4h as usual. The train which left Cam
den Station yesterday morning proceeded as
tar as Sandy Hook, when those in charge,
yielding to the suggestion of General Hunter,
who was then at Harper's Ferry, returned.—
The number of passengers in the trains was
not large. The train which was to have left
here at a quarter past 9 o'clock last evening,
of course, under the circumstances, did not
leave, and a considerable number of passen
gers bound for the West were disappointed.—
The tonnage business of the Road is, in the
meantime, suspended, until better informa
tion is obtained as to the condition of the
Road west of Harper's Ferry.
The telegraph wires were cut west of Har
per's Ferry, and it was reported that the
forces of Crook and Averill had retreated be
yond the railroad, but the officers of the Com
pany have not received any official advices to
that effect. Yesterday afternoon and evening
the rumor prevailed that the rebels had re
turned in heavy force in the vicinity of Mar
tinsburg, had met and routed the Federal
forces, and were damaging the railroad, and
a large number of persons congregated at the
Camden Station and remained there until
night.
LATEST FROM. warn's BMW
The train which left here yesterday morn
ing for the West and proceeded as far as
Sandy Hook, returned about half past seven
o'clock last evening, and all the cars were
crowded with passengers. Some of them
were Federal officers, who reported that a
heavy fight had taken place between Harper's
Ferry and Winchester, and that Hunter had
been repulsed. Several pieces of artillery
had.been captured. also a 'large number of
men of two brigades. It is impossible to as
certain the true state of affairs in that region,
but there is no doubt that a serious disaster
has occurred to the forces of Gen. Hunter.
The Indian War.
MEN WHITE WOMEN CAPTIVES AMONG THE SIOUX
-INDIAN ATTACK ON AN EMIGRANT TRAIN
--THIRTEEN EMIGRANTS MASSACRED.
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, of the 21st,
contains the following : One of the proprie
tbrs of the American Par Company, and an
old Indian trader of frarty-five years amongst
the Missouri Sioux, says that the Sioux have
now in their possession, not as prisoners, but
as slaves, some ten white women, and that
no price could ransom them, as they are val
ued far more than riches. The only way they
can be released is by the strong arm of the
military. The maltreatment to which these
unfortunate women are subjected no pen
could describe. Mr. R., while at one of his
trading posts, was informed by one of his In
dian friends that a young white woman was
thte in one of the lodges, and, having a true
sympathy for the unfortunate captive, and
the horrible situation in which she was placed,
went to see her, and tried to procure her re
lease.
Ile was refused admittance to the lodge by
the tavage who held her and counted her as
his own. Ha then asked him if he would not
sell her, and the Indian said "No;" that he
had "learned to love her, and would not part
with her for any price." Mr. R . them told him
that the Great Father (the President , of the
United States) would soon hear' of his daugh
ter's situation and the misery she was in, and
would wipe from' the face of the earth the
Sioux Nation. The Indian laughed in his
ma" grunting way, but made no other re
ply. Mr. R. left, feeling that he had done all
in his power to obtain the captive's release.
Perhaps General Sully may break their chains
ere long.
From Mr. G. P. Beauvais, who has arrived
in St. Joseph from his Lone Star - Rancho, a
few miles this side of Fort Laramie, we learn
that an emigrant train of thirteen wagons was
attacked lag week, - a short distance above the
Fort, by silkhundred Minnesota and Missouri
river Bionics. The emigrants defended them
selves with desperation, but were soon over
powered, thirteen of the party being massa
cred, when the balance surrendered. After
plundering the train of all the goods that
suited their fancy, and taking off the live
stock, the wagons were set on fire and en
tirely consumed. Mr. Beauvais met six com
panies of troops en route from Fort Kearney
to Laramie, their object being to pursue and
disperse the hostile savages, and to protect
the emigrants. The South Platte is still
greatly swollen, and has not been fordable for
over four weeks. Notwithstanding this, the
emigration still flows on. Trains go np to
within a short distance of Denver, where a
crossing is effecteit. Serious trouble is anti
cipated during the summerfrom the Indians
on the plains.
