How the Money Goes.
Our American fellow-citizens of African de—
scent are likely to cost “a. pretty penny” before
we get through with their emancipation, coloni
zation, regeneration and civilization. The Al
bany Argus says announcement has been made
that the negro colonization scheme to Hay ti has
failed, and that the negroes imported there are
dead or “scattered.” Further, the}. the Presi
dent “has appointed an agent.” to look into the
matter. If we remember rightly, a. large sub
sidy was voted by Congress for this scheme,
$lOO,OOO (or $500,000.) This has pwbably
been drawn from the Treasury, and “the job"
apparently “finished.” Not so; there is still op
portunity to fasten another charge on the Tree.-
sury, and so “ an agent.” is to be sent, at obvi
ous expense, to come back and report. exploded

.peyers! ‘fthot’e the way the money goes”—for

The Next Draft.
The opposition of the Abolition press to
voluntary enlistments will certainly prevent
the raising of Pennsylvania’s quota. by that
ineanfi, and necessitate another draft in Jann
ary, in accordance‘vith the President’s pro
clamation. The object of Abolition opposition
to the voluntary system isplsiu enough. They
prefer conscription, because, having the ma.—
chinery in their own hands, they. can manage
to save the “ loyal” men—that is their own
yoliticsl partisans—from being drafted, or
purchase their exemption, under the law as it
is, if they should be drafted. They have, in
the first place, the disposition to cheat in the
management of the draft, and will do so to the
extent of their ingenuity—hut, failing in this,
they have the influence and the money where
with to relieve any of their friends whom they
cannot otherwise save. They possess these
“images o'er Democrats. and they mean to
hold and exercise them. Under these circum
.mes, we have but one eonrse to pursue in ‘
order to place ourselves lore nehrly upon an ‘
equality with them. We must insist upon the
not being amended by the next Congress as
soon after it meets as pOSaible. In the first
place, the odious $3OO clause, making a dis
tinction between rich and poor. must be
stricken out, so that all who are drafted, with
out distinction of politics, poverty or wealth,
must go—cnd in the second place. We must en
donor to have the law so changed that there
cannot possibly be my frond practiced in the
selection and drawing of the names of those
lisble to military service.
congress, we think. will not refuse to make
those durations, and when made we shall be
upon an equality with the “ loyal” cowards
‘1“. refuse to volunteer, end my cheerfully
me our chances with them in the draft, which
they seem to insist. upon, because then the ope
ration will be fair and they can no more es
cape than us.
The course they are not taking renders this
policy necessary on our part. and we must per
severe until we accomplish it. »
A Specimen Brick.
A “loyal Tennesseean, of the Brownlow
type" named Glens. has been engaged by the
Abolition State Central Committee of New
York to stump a portion of that State in favor
of their ticket. According to his own declara
tion he is a candidate for Congress in one of
the Tennessee districts. and we exhibit him as
a specimen of the kind of Congressmen we are
to expect from the South under the low of the
sword and bayonet which Mr Lincoln has es
tablished there; He made a speech in Utiea,
whibh was literally reported for the Herald,
from which, for public edifioation, we make the
following extract:
“You Copperheads, you~mean, dirty, low
lived cowards and traitors, (several times re
peated;) when we get through putting down
the rebellion, We are coming North to hang
every one of you Copperheads.
u Certainly Governor Seymour responded to
the call of the Secretary of War when Penn
sylvania and Maryland were invaded, and sent
all the Sew York militia at his disposal into
Pennsylvania, but what did he do it for? Do
you suppose he did it to assist in expelling
Lee from the State? Not at all. I will tell
you why he did it. He knew there were to be
riots in New York and other parts of the State
on account of the draft, and he sent the militia
out of the State in order that the rioters might
have everything their own way, and those in
authority would have no means of putting them
down.
" Who’s afraid 2 lam running for Congress
in Tennessee, and I am going to be elected.

Cnanmooan, Oct. 24.—The enemy’s'aetione
seem to indicate that Bragg is moving in large
force upon Cleveland, Tenn, with the evident
purpose of breaking through our lines in that
direction. It is generally believed here that
this movement is cooperated in by a portion of
Lee's forces from Virginia, moving down by
way of Lynchburg and Bristol, Ve., with the
intention of driving Burnside from East Ten
nessee and turning the flank of this army, and
thus compelling its retirement from Chatte

“Unreliable intelligence has been received of a.
movement of a. portion of Bragg's army, under

, Wednesday, Oct. 28. E
No battles occurred yesterday, as was con—
fidently anticipated by many persons whose
opportunities for knowing all about such mat.-
ters are considered good. The enemy, how
ever, still shows a bold front north of the Rap—
pahannock. It is believed that Lee has no
large force this side of the river. From the
best information I can obtain, the bulk of Lee’s
force that pressed back our lines on Friday
last, have recrossed the river, leaving only a
strong picket line of dashing and desperate
men in front. There was no fighting to-dayw—
everything remains in mm qua. The repairs
to the railroad are progressing rapidly.
General Meade has within a day or two made
some changes in his position looking to the
better protection of those engaged in the re—
construction of the Orange railroad. While
this change was being afieoted, at about three
o’clock yesterday morning, the rebels made a
demonstration against the 6th corps, but
nothing further was accomplished than the
driving in of the pickets of that corps a short
distance, when the rebels retired.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
an YORK, Oct. 29.—Several men were ar
rested yesterdry for being engaged in'e con
traband trade with the rebels. Their names
are Gomez, 2. fusee patentee and manufacturer,
and M’Kee, Crocert and Oliver. Two of them
are commission merchants, and the other One
is the captain of a. vessel. The fuses have
been supplied to the rebels and a. regularly pre
pared scheme of trade with the South was in
progress of being carried out. The arrested
parties are in Fort Lafayette.
THE DRAFT.
WAsnmo'rox, Oot. 29.—1 n the recent en
nouncement of quotas to the severe! States,
under the President’s proclamation of October
17th, calling out 300,000 men, the deficiencies
of States under former calls and under the re
cent draft are taken account of only in refer
ence to a. subsequent draft, in case another is
rendered necessary by the failure to furnish
the full quota of volunteers.
It is presumed that there will be no draft in
those States which raise their quote of three
hundred thousandvolunteers called for by the
President’s proclamation, but in States where,
through failure to raise their quota of the
three hundred thousand volunteers, the draft
has to be resorted to, all deficiencies at. the time
existing in such State will be taken into at:-
count.
. Drafted men and substitutes are entitled only
to the $l6O bounty provided by law. and not,
to the increased bonnay of $3OO offered to vol

at the various crossings. They are all circum

The following order has just been issued in
relation to evidence of military service :
' Pension Osman. Oct. 28, 1863.
No volunteer‘or drafted man is deemed to
have been in the United States service unless
duly mustered therein. When mustered, his
service is regarded as having commenced at
the date of his enrollment. The evidence of
such service is to be sought primarily at the 1
ofiice of the Adjutant General of the United
States Army; and the rolls of that office, when
complete, are of the highest authority, and
cannot be contradicted by parol evidence. If
there is believed to be an error therein in any
case, the evidence intended to correct such an
error must he filed in that office. When the
Adjutant General reports that the proper re
turns of muster are wanting in any case, the
evidence will be eoughtat the Provost Marshal
General’s, and if not there found, at the ofliee
of—the Adjutant General of the State in which
the regiment in queetion was raised.
ThE'eYidence of the muster obtained from
either of the latter sources when furnished, on
request of this office, will he accepted in de
fault of evidence from the Adjutant General.
Evidence of the muster-out will be regarded as
euflicient‘in any case if the date of the enroll
ment is ascertained. If the name of the officer
or soldier is ‘onnd on the pay rolls after the
proper date 0 the muster-in, further evidence
of muster will not be required. An officer
duly mustered in and afterward promoted, will
be duly regarded as holding the rank at which
he is placed on the pay rolls.

CAIRO, Oct. 26.—The steamer Liberty ar
rived last night. at. 11 o‘ciock, with Memphis
dates of the 24th. From the Bulletin I take
the following account of operations in Gen. T.
W. Sherman’s new department:
The advance of the Union forces east from
this point met with a. sharp resistance on Wed
nesday, the 21st inst... at Cherokee Station, on
the Memphis and Charleston railroad, about
eight or nine miles this side of Tuscumbiu.
The troops of the 15th corps met the rebels
with their usual bravery, however, and soon
made themselves mhsters of their position.
011 the day previous a brisk cavalry fight took
plaee near the same spot between it considers
ble body of infantry and cavalry, in which six
rebels were killed and fifteen wounded left on
the field. Our troops went into the rebels with
a shout, cutting and slashing right and left,
and cleared them in short order, losing two
men and live horses killed. This was on Tues
day. The cavalry then fell back to the rear
of the advance of Gen. Osterhaus’ division.
Next. morning (Wednesday) broke dark and
lowering, with rain and fog. The movement
of the lst. division of Gen. Osterhaus, which
was to have been at six o’clock, was delayed
till night. The 211 division of Gen. Morgan L.
Smith lay close up to the -lst, waiting until it
shauld move ahead before striking camp- Maj.
Gen. Blair commended both divisions.
When Gen. Osterhaus moved forward toward
Tuscumbia, he had not proceeded for before
the advance, consisting of the 4th, 9th, 25th,
26th, 30th (the 30th in the advance) and the
2lst lowa. regiments, encountered a large force,
estimated at hetween 4,000 and 6,000, under
command of the rebel Generals S. D. Lee,
Roddy and Richardson. A heavy musketry
fire was immediately opened, and the fight. was
furious for an hour, when the rebels fell back
with heavy loss in killed and wounded.
General Oaterhaus hurried up several 24-
pound Parrotts, which made havoc in the re
treating columns, and our whole divisions
were scan on the ground.
The loss on' our side will not. exceed 100
killed and wounded.
The bodies of Col. Torrence and Capt. Ran
dell arrived here last evening, where they will
be embnlmed and sent North to-day, in charge
of C. D. Gage, antler of the 30th regiment.
Colonel Torrence lived at Keokuk. lowa. He
served with distinction through the Mexican
was, and was one of those men of influence
whose character was almost without blemish.
It appears that the first known of the prox
imity of the rebels was their driving in our
pickets and forage teams. On their appearing
in sight, the regiments above named were im
mediately ordered into line, and skirmishers
‘ thrown out to feel their position. The enemy
did the same, except that a large portion of
their force had dismounted, and were lying in
ambush. The advance of the enemy wore nni
forms, and in the fog it was difiionlt for Tor
rence to distinguish friends from foes. He
therefore ordered his men to cease firing and
approached the enemy, who were dressed in
blue. and, when within a. short distance, they
opened fire on him, piercing his body in many
places. killing him instantly. Atlhe same time
they opened a murderous fire on our left, kill
ing and wounding the captain and adjntant
above named. For a few moments the 30th
regiment was thrown into confusion, but when ,
Colonel Torrence's orderly came back, an
nouncing that their colonel was in the hands
of the enemy, the men rushed forward with s.-
yell, recovered his body, and dispeosed the
rebels. They foupd that the corpse had been
searched, and all his money and his watch sto
len. Our troops pursued the flying rebels hack
to his fortifications.

Gama, Oct. 28,—The Memphis Bulletin of

Coaaurnonu Wasmscrox.-—A small bit
of paper was recently picked up in one of the
executive departments, which contained these
imposing words: “If F. will put the matter
through he shall have ten thousand dollars.”
Again. there is a clerk in one of the depart
ments whose annual salary amounts to $1,600,
and yet this person drives a span of horses
which cost him sixteen hundred dollars; and
it is not long since he expended the sum of
thirteen thousand dollars upon a house for his
1 own occupation. The inference is that the
1 business of ales-king it for the government is
‘ sometimes slightly profitable. And here lam
reminded of a beautiful game which some of
the wicked allege will probably be played
toward a certsln member of Congress. The
said gentleman is said to have a perfectly just
claim against the government, and. as he is
noted for not swearing by all that all the
secretaries do, he has received a. gentle hint
to the efiect that if the 38th Congress is pro—
perly organized he will not have to wait long
for his dues; otherwise, otherwise. But this
is a queer world and these are queer times!

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
Governor of the said Commonwealth.
A PROCLAMATION.
Wannells, The President of the United
States, by Proclamation, hearing date on the
Seventeenth day of October inet., has called
for THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND VOLUN
TEERS, to recruit. the regiments now in the
field from the respective States : .47ch whereas,
By information received this day, the quote of
the State of Pennsylvania under said call is
declared to be THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY—EIGHT MEN,
(38.268): And whereas, The President, in his
said Proclamation, requests the Governors of
the respective States to assist in reisingthe
force thus required :
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
do earnestly cell on the good and loyal free
men of this Commonwealth, to enlist in the
service of the United States, under the Procla
mation aforesaid, So that the required quota.
may be made up before the Fifth day of Jan
uary next, on which day the President anm
‘ nounceg that a. draft will be commenced for
any deficiency that may then exist in the some.
The freemen of Pennsylvania. enlisting under
this call willl be attached to regiments from
this State. All who are willing to enlist are
requested to. present themselves at once, for
that purpose, to the United States Provoet
Marshale’ recruiting and mustering ofiices, in
their. respective cities, towns nnd' counties.
They will receive the following some as allow—
ance, pay, premium and bounty. viz:
To every recruit who is a. vac-ran volunfeer,
as defined in General Orders of the War Depart
ment of June 25, 1863, No. 191, 'for recruiting
veteran volunteers, one month’s pay in advance.
and a bounty and premium amounting to $402.
To all other recruits, not veterans, accepted
and enlisted as required in existing Orders, one
month‘s pay in advance, and in addition a
bounty and premium amounting to 8302.
Any further information desired can be ob
teined from the Provost Marshals of the re
spective districts. '
In making this appeal to the good and loyal
freemen of Pennsylvania, I feel entire confi
dence that it will be eifectuelly responded to.
The approaching expiration of the term of en
listment of the men now in the field renders it
necessary to replenish our regiments. Let us
maintain the glory which their valor and con
duct have reflect-ed on the Commonwealth, and
let our people show, by their promptness and
alacrity on this occasion, that they have not
abated in courage or love of country, or in the
determination that the unhoiy tebellion, al—
ready stunned and staggering, shall be utterly
crushed and extinguished.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty-eighth
