Where there is no Law there is no
Freedom.

THE COMMERCIAL PRINTING CO
In Tart Monday's isme of the Pittsburgh
Commercial, an article appeared in rein•
tion to the Post, which contained the fol•
''We knots that in the herb:ming of this war tho
Tost by pursuing a lolal o'urse sucoeeded in
whet-Vino from oar business 1111,11 several thous
ands of dollars. We have the names of' firma who
contributed sums va7ying from fifty to five hue
dred dollars, to enable it to pay its debts and
continue its existence, Ice."
The heat of the late political campaign
being over, when this article appeared, we
were unable to divine a cause for so shame
ful at attack upon our business and cred
it. We accordingly addressed a pri;,Tate
note to the person who, in the streets,
proclaims himself the head of the paper
in question, asking him for the names of
those contributors to wnom his company
alluded.
We, on Wednesday, published our note,
but up to the present moment we Ifave not
received any answer to it, either private
or public. We now repeat our demand
for the names of those who were wheedled
out of their money by the proprietor of
this paper. The charge of the Commer
cial is an explicit one ; there is no quali
fication about it ; the company know, they
say, what they have stated, and we are de.
termined to prove tilt* lie.
The Commercial Printing Co. having
made the outrageous charge in question,
and refusing to even attempt to prove it,
will serve to indicate the charaeter of that
iustitution. As we have before , stated, it is
controlled by a few damaged adventurers,-
whose political and personal morality may
be judged by the brazen performance to
which we have alluded.
GE V. ROSEMAN/3
The principal reason given out by the
War Department for the sudden and un
expected removal of Gen. Rosecaexs, is
that he was "too slow" in marching
against BRAGG. This was HALLECK'S
complaint of Gen. McCLELLAN ; he too
was too slow in reaching Richmond, al
though none of his successors have been
able to get far away from Washington.
But Gen. ROSECRANS, in his speech at
the Merchants' Exchange inTincinnsti
on Monday last, shows that if he was too
slow in his movements it was the fault of
the Administration, not his. He remark
ed :—"That it was his firm belief that if
the forces recently sent to Chattanooga
had been ordered there before, as ought
to have been done, the backbone of the
rebellion would have been broken.°
Gen. Rossosetts' dilatoriness was in obe
dience to orders from Gen. HALLECK, and
for obeying which he is dismissed the ser
vice. He was not allowed to move when
he could have annihilated the army ; but
was held back until BRAGG was reinforced
from Virginia, and then he received a
peremptory order to advance. In order
to dodge the responsibility of this mon
strous blunder, ROSECRANS is dismissed
by its author, and all sorts of slander
and detraction are resorted to, to blacken
hi, reputation, and excuse the guilty par
ty. This is the strategy of those in power
in Washington.
Gen. ROSECEASS 13 another victim to
the stupidity enthroned in the War Office,
which appropriates to itself the glory of
every petty achievement, and fastens upon
subalterns the guilt of all its crimes. From
this time forth the effort will be to crush
ROSECRANS; nothing can save him from
utter destruction by the War Department,
except acknowledging the truth of its slan
ders. This course upon the part of Buaw•
SIDE, in relation to the massacre at Fred—
ericksburg, saved his head, and a similar
performance by ROSECRANS may secure
him his. This, together with a few Abo
lition speeches. will, doubtless, go far to
keep him in the service, or put him upon
the retired list, on half pay.

LATEST NEWS FROM THE SOUTH
FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 26th.—A lady,
the wife of an officer in the rebel army,
recently arrived in Norfolk from Mobile,
nye that city is threatened by the Federal
troops, who are near enough to be able to
watch the movements of the rebel force
in the city. The inhabitants think the
city will soon be captured, as there are
b.it tew available troops there. Various
means are resorted to to keep up the ap
nearance of a larger force than the rebels
really have. Even women, it is arid.
array themselves in the garb of soldiers,
g.nd parade the outskirts of the city to
keep up appearances. If the city is at
tacked, it is thought no serious resistance
will be made.
No Restriction in Prices.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 23d
says: "The people decided yesterday by a
large vote that they deem it inadvisable to
place any restriction on prices, and the
Virginia Senate has decided that there
should be none The propoF.ition is now
dead. We submit to this decision with
cheerfulness. though we believe it to be a
great mistake."
Trying to Escape Conscription,'
"It is stated that some who have put
substitutes in the army while they have
stayed borne to make money, are alarmed
at the prospect of a repeal of the substi•
tote law, and having made wherewithal to
travel, are trying to run away to Europe.
We understand that numerous applications
have been made for passports. More

Federal Prisoners. not to be Allowed to
Receive Greenbacks"
"An order has been issued from the
War Department to Gen. Winder, who is
in charge of prisoners of war at Rich
mond, instructing him to deliver to the
Federal prisoners in his charge all gold
sent to them by their friends from the
North, but to withhold from them all
I.Tu!ted States treasury rotes, tvi the Con
federate Government recognizes no such
money, but he may give them an equiva•
lint in Southern scrip."
This is a new mode of swindling Feder
al prisoners. "The Confederate Govern
ment recognizes no each money, — Bays the
rebel War Department, yet they direct
that the greenba , ks be retained and their
worthless, depreciated scrip be given to
our prisoners of war I: is very evident
from this order that the rebel authorities
recognize the fact that Federal money has
a value, and they are therefore very wil
ling to retain it in their posaeseion, and
give in its place their own admitted worth
less trash to our badly used soldiers who
have been so unfortunate as to fall into
the hands of the 'Southern chivalry."
Affairs in Northern Virginia.
From the Richmond Dispatch. Oct. Z3d
Party's from the vicinity of Gen , ral
Lee's army represent that matters were
entirely quiet yesterday, not even a skir
mish occurred to break the repose of the
army since its return from the pursuit of
Meade.
We have some few particulars of the
capture of the Yankee garrison at Charles
town, on Sunday', by Gen. Imboden. The
enemy, it seems were not apprised of the
approach of our forces until the town was
surrounded, and all the avenues of escape
cut off. They then repaired to the Court
House, in the yard of which they had built
fortifications, and prepared to make a re
sistance, General Imboden ordered up
his artillery, which was planed on a hill
South of the town, near where John Brown
was hung, and opened fire upon the Court
House square, some of the shells passing
through the building. Discovering that
they were surrounded,
and that resistance
was useless, the white flag was run up, and
the whole Yankee force surrendered.
The number of prisoners captured was
four hundred and icirty, all of whom were
safely brought cff,
Soon after the surrender, General Im
boden was informed that a heavy force
was moving against him from Harper's
Ferry, and he prepared to fall back
lowa, de Winchester, taking what is known
as the old road, by way of the White
House. At Summit Point, seven miles
west of Charlestown, his rear guard was
overtaken by the enemy, with whom they
became engaged, and the fight was kept
up for four or five - miles, when the Yan
kees gave over the pursuit. General Im
boden did not remain in Charlestown long
enough to gather up all the stores the en•
emy had accumulated at that point, and
only brought cff a portion of those cap
tured.
The Yankee loss in killed and. wounded
in the ton was not large. Our loss in
the retreat was about twenty-five killed and
wounded.
From Gordonsville.
Gordonsville, Oct. 21 —Everything
appears quiet in front to-day. Most of
the prisoners who went through here to
Richmond last night are foreigners, and
express themselves tired of the war. Many
of them wanted to take the oath of alle

Slave Revolt In Ha,peock, Oa
The rep3rt,d )Lsurrc-cLion of blacks in

more serious affair than first supposed.
From relial, e information communicated
us, quite a large number of negroee are
implicated in th- imended revolt. The
organization wee complete, and officers
chosen from that of Nt'jor General down
to Corporal. The claiet of the conspiracy
is an artful and intelligent Llioar, who
was well qualified to be a leaderof such a
dangerous enterprise.
He was the Major General of the forces,
and proceeds-d to Atlanta on business
connected with the plot. The plan was
laid to join Rosecrane when ho arrived
and captured Atlanta, after killing off the
old white men, and women and children
and appropriating the young women as

The Enrolment ar.d the Draft
PRovosy MARSHAL GENERAL'S OFFICZ,
I.VASALNGT,;N, D. C., Oct. 19, 1863. J
.Sri : I h,cc the honor to report for
your information certain general facts
connected with the draft.. as shown by re.
ports made up to this time.
The machii.erj.- fjr executing the Enrol
ment act is o. -emplete working order.
Ihe la: as it .i..nds cannot be made to
develeii .-..tir, military strength of the
nation, and the execution of it hos been
rendered exceedingly difficult by the efforts
made in various ways to retist or evade it,
or to escape from its operetion.
Its fruits, therefore, ar‘not as abundant
as they will be from a perfected law and
more thoroughly established system of
executing it. All the advantages, how
ever, which could reasonably have been
expected from the law are accruing.
Its general principles distribute the bur
dens of military service fairly among
those liable to bear them, but there is,
perhaps, more generosity than justness in
some of its humane provisions. With
certain modifications, which can readily
be made by Congress, the military strength
of the country may, by the direct and
indirect operation of this act, be surely
and cheaply brought into the field.
Several of the Western States have not
been subjected to the present draft on ac
count of the excess of volunteers hereto.
fore furnished, and from the same cause
the quotas in other VI esteru States are
rendered quite small ; the present draft
is therefore but a partial one, and no spe
cific total was established as the nuota for
it
Of those drawn in the present draft, in
cluding the fifty per cent. additional, over
eighty per cent. have reported in accord
ance with the orders of the boards. Of
the twenty per cent. who have not report
ed, many are not willful deserters, being
unavoidably absent at sea and the like.
The deserters are being arrested.
Of all examined, about thirty per cent..
have been exempted on account of phys—
ical disability, about thirty per cent. have
been exempted under the provisions of
the second section of the act, or found
not liuele to military duty on account of
allenege, unsuitableness of age, non resi—
dents, Sc. Those who are not liable to
military duty, and form no part cf the
National forces, and, therefore, have been
erroneously eur .led, appear in the goner
al reports of the boards among those ex
empted, because their non ability to serve
could not be established until they came
before the boards. The number of ex.
emptions is thus made to appear much
larger than it really is.
About forty per cent, of the men exam
ined have been held to service, and have
either entered the army in person, fur
nished substitutes or paid commutation.
About cue half of those held to service
have paid commutation ; of the remainder
about one third have gone in person, and
two thirds have furnished substitutes, and
all except a few in transit and a small
proportion of deserters from among the
earlier substitutes accepted, are in the
ranks of their regiments in front of the
enemy. It is fair to suppose that most of
those who willfully tail to repot t, and thus
become deserters, are physically fit for
service ; if they had been examined, the
proportion exempted for physical
siould have been reduced to about
twenty five per cent. The proportion of
exemptions would be still further reduced
by purging the enrolment lists before draft
of all canes of mantles' tic fitness, an d o f
aliens and °theta not liable to militar
duty, as.treey be don" where this cyst
of raising !reops is well established.
The prop ,r, tab. ve given are 1) sed

seventy tliree •ngreei - ,ional districts

hp.); most nearly approached Completion.
Since the prevent rebellion began about
200,000 soldiers, after entering service,
have been discharged on surgeon's certifi
cate of ci'sebility It is probable that at
least 0”P half cf them were unfit for ser
vice when received. It may be safely said
that forty millions of money were useless
ly expended in bringing them into the field
to say nothing of their subsequent expen
see to the Government
In Great Britain, under the system of
voluntary enlistmente, the rejections
averaze over 27 per cent. In France,
from ISII to 1842, the avenge number of
exemptions was 94, 860 ; so that, to secure
the contingent of 80.000 men, 174, 860
cons, ripts were annually examined.
Of the recruits who presented them
eel v, , F, for enlistment in our regular army
in 1852, 70 per cent. were rejected for
physical infirmities, facia:sive of age or
statue. Between Ist January and Ist
July last more than half were rejected.
These were men who desired to be accept
ed. These proportions are of interest in
connection with the fact that less than
one third of the drafted men who desired
to be accepted have been exempted on ac
count of physical unfitness,
There have been but few cases of in
competency, fraud, neglect or abuse in the
examination of drafted men. These men
have. however, in many ways been swin—
dled by rogues having no connection with
Boards of Enrolment, as for example,
the fact that certain drafted men were
physically unfit for service has become
known to these sharpers, when it was
perhaps not known to the men them
selves, and they have id - far imposed
upon the ignorance or creaulity of the
drafted men as to get from them cams of
money to secure an exemption to which
the rogues knew they were entitled and
would surely regeive ' and the drafted
men, finding themselves exempted as
promised, have sometimes thought and
given out that they secured exemption by
bribery of drafting officers, whereas they
were legally entitled to exemption, and
have themselves been swindled by shar
pers. •
All has been done that seemed proper
under existing laws to check these evils.
and to meet properly the few cases of
criminality and incompetency which have
occurred among the officers of this bureau.
All the expenditures up to this time on
account of this bureau, including the en
rolment draft, and pay of officers and per
sons connected with it, are but little over
$1,200,000. These expenditures include
all made on account of the machinery
which has produced the arrest and return
of twenty thousand deserters.
The amount of money received from
the draft up to this date is about ten times
as great as all the expenses incurred on
account of the Enrolment Act ; those re
suiting from the New York riots are not,
however, included in this statement, as
they are more properly attributable to
other causes and other persons than to the
draft or officers of this bureau.
I am, very respectfully, your obedien
servant, JAMES B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General,
Hon. E• Af. Stanton, Secretary of War.

An English Mob.
The ancient village of St. Catharine's,
near Guildford, England, holds an annual
fair on the fourth day of October ; and,
on the Sunday previous, the public houses
of the village are privileged by royal
charter to remain open from morning to
night. It is hence designated "Tap up
Sunday." This festive occasion has usu•
ally been celebrated by the youth of St.
Catharine's in a manner more conducive
to their own pleasure than to the comfort
of those who had occasion to pass through
ihe village. It was their playful custom
to pelt the passengers with chestnuts, and
to annoy them in various other ways, a
harmless bat somewhat irritating style of
recreation, to which people submitted as a
kind of necessary evil.
But this year the villagers gave a more
serious turn to their popular Saturnalia
A mob of about 400 roughs, of whom a
considerable number were disreputable
characters from the neighboring town of
Guildford. assembled tumulitionsly in the
village. Taking possession of the road,
they attacked every decent person who
chanced to pass, mauled them with brutal
violence, and pelted them with manes
Ladies had their bonnets torn from their
heads, their shawls were scotched off, and
their dresses torn into shreds. One yourg
lady, who turned to remonstrate with the
ruffians, was hit by a atone which nearly
cut out one of her eyes. Several gentle
cn , r, were severely wounded by kicks, and
thk to considered themselves fortunate who
got t ft with no worse injuries than smash
ed hats and tattered coats.
T o ward evening, says the English ac
count, things became worse. Several
members of the county constabulary force
male their appearance on the scene; but
this was only the signal for a still more ri
otuus demonsimt , on than before, and it
was considered advisable to leave the mob
to their own course. and to prevent them
having further victims, by placing the po
lice at convenient distances from the vil
lage and cautionirg passengers egaktisi
going on the turnpike road, and inducing
them to pursue, for their own persona!
safety's sake, their journey by the river
hank instead, though more circuitous.
Several fugitives from the insults of the
mob were pursued, however, notwithstan
ding this precautionary measure, and more
than one case occurred in which persons
were pushed into the water. At nightfall
nothing could restrain the fury of the
crowd A gentleman was incoutious
enough to appeal to the roughs, but he
was at once assailed with a shower of
stones. They next proceeded to his resi
deuce, pulled up the whole of the pailings
of his property, and conveyed them to the
top of St. Catherine's hill, whence they
went to cutting between the two tunnels
on the London and Southwestern line of
railway, where they carried off all the
wooden railings they could get at, and af
terwards built a large bonfire, the light of
which could be seen for miles.
Taken in connection with other out
breaks of a similar character, the riot at
St Catharine's is regarded by the English
press as an alarming indication cf a dan
gerous state of things throughout the
country. In spite of the elaborate police
machinery for the preservation of peace
and the protection of property, such oc
currence as the one detailed above not an
frequently remind the tax-paying subjects
of Queen Victoria that they are not really
so well guarded as they bad fondly sup
posed. Last winter the garroters in Lon
don were so bold and skillful that a walk
through the streets after nightfall was un
pleasantly exciting ; and these outrages
have been recently revived. We agree
with the Star that it certainly seems hard
tha . , the dwellers in a metropolis bur—
thened with a heavy police rates should
be unable to walk through the streets at
certain hours without running the risk of
being throttled, pommelled, kicked and
plundered.
In the rural districts the condition is
still worse. St. Catharine's is not the
only village which has attained the may
itable notoriety for acts which would have
brought disgrace upon a tribe of savages.
The local authorities seem to be entirely
incempetent to check these lawless pro
pensities, and the interference of the
Home Secretary is earnestly demanded
by the leading papers.
A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT,—In No.
camber last, the Freeman's Bank at Bri“
tol, R. 1., was robbed, and among the
fects stolen were sheets of new bills. .• d
by the President, but not filled
: tied by the Cashier. There was bt,,iel,
in amount of the bills, $2OO in l's, .~::UO
in 2's, $BOO in S's, $1,600 in 6's and $ l,•
000 in 10's. These have since been tilled
up and the signature of the cashier forged,
and the bills recently put into circulation.
Being printed from the original plate,
they are very likety to deceive, unless
moat carefullyinspected in the particulars
mentioned The bank refuses to have
anything to do with these bills, although
the President's signature is genuine, and
it would be well to refuse taking any bills
on this bank with red letters on the face.
The new and genuine issue of the bank is
distinguished by the green backs,
RAILROAD STOCKEL—The Philadelphia
Ledger, of the 28th, in review of the Mon.
ey Market, speaking of stocks, says:—
"Along with much that is worthless, large
ly dealt in for a week, there are, however,
some really good and productive securi
ties, and others that offer a fair margin
for a further rise of pricestfrom the con
tinued improvement in the business of
their respective companies. Among these
are the Pennsylvanla Railroad, Reading
Railroad, Beaver Meadow, Little Schuyl
kill, Minehill, Lehigh Valley, Lehigh Nav
igation, Morrie Canal, an others. Ali
these companies are profiting largely from
increased legitimate business, and most of
them from their connection with the coal
trade, from which they are earning and
paying large dividends."
