LOCAL intelligence
—We were Informed by telegraph
on Tuesday, that another draft for 800,000 men
bee been ordered by the President. Under this
«ell our quota will be anythin* but Inconsidera
ble, and consequently wa will hare to arouse
•uraeives again and unite our efforts in raising*
the necessary number of men. One of the chief
points to be attained In this work, Is to convince
every man In the district and sub-districts of the
necessity that derolres upon him k o pat hts
shoulder to the wheel and push forward the gen
eral work, in this manner suocess muit attend
our efforts, but without this it will be extreme
ly difficult for us to raise the quota. It is like- j
Wise of the utmost importance that we con
aenoe the work immediately, and not postpone
it until the laat possible moment. In this case
our efforts to fill the quota by volunteers would
prove a failure. We havebeeu taught by long
experience in this matter of raising men for the
servtoe, and we hopethat the teachings will nor
prove useless. While raising the quota assigned
tpua under the last call, we had to encounter
numerous obstacles whioh- we wM not have to
meet on this occasion. We know how to make
•very cltiaen perform hU shire In the business,
•ad it will be our foult if we do not do so. The
sooner the quota is filled, the better ; and If we
commence operations Immediately and unani
mously, the work will soon be completed, and
the grand end which wa have in view win be at
tained. It wiilbe a matter of great difficulty to
zsiae the necessary amount of money with which
to pay bounties to volunteers, and as this Is a
very important point* wa should first consider
how to surmount this difficulty. If our efforts
prove successfullodolnj this, every other ob
•tacle wIU vanish, and the requisite number 01
men will be easily raised.
Foreign Miners. —We undet stand that the
Butter of introducing foreig a miners to meet the
want which has been so long islt in this matter
it now exoittng some interest amony the me<n
benof the Goal Exchange The present condi
tion of things will no doubt compel us sooner or
later to adopt such an important mekaurd. The
nilnea must-be worked, and if the d ggers who
were formerly employed in the ratals refuse to
work unless at exorbitant wages, we are force I
to use some"means to remedy this evil There
Is another Important fact whica yve 6hould also
have in view. The draft will have more
effect upon the laboring classes than any other
portion of the c immunity, for the simple reason
that the for ne* will ba induced to accept of the
bounties offered to volunteers more readily than
the latter. For this reason manual labor will
be greatly reduced, and will of course demand a
fritter compensation than It does at p-earnt.
If the price which we are now paying for coal
appears exorbitant, it will appear far more so
when the wages of the miners are increased. To
remedy this we must employ foreign miners,
and as they can be introduced at but little ex-,
pease, this matter should be attended to without
delay.

Serious Charge—Dr. John Wm Hughes,
of Cleveland, was yesterday arrested by the
Hlayor’ipolice of this city on a charge of elope
ment and bigamy. Information was convejed
to the Mayor during the morning of the elope
ment of the Doctor with a young lady named
Parsons, and accordingly several officers were
detailed to arrest the parties. The young lady
was arrested at the St. Clair Hotel, and exhib
ited a certificate ofmarrlageelgned by Hev. J.
G. Brown, D.D. Hughes was subsequently ar
rested at the same place and conveyed to tho
Mayor’s office. The young woman was also ta
ken to the Mayor’s office, but will probably re
turn home with her brother-in-law. Hughes
has ben married about eight years, but the lady
states that he had shown her a certificate of di
vorce prior tothe elopea&nt.
Two Men Shot—Last Thursday two men
were shot In Clearfield county under the fol
lowing circumstances: There was a dance or
frolic at the house of one Thomas Adams, the
party being chieflly composed of conscripts who
had failed to report. A party of soldiers came
to the place for the purpose of arresting them.
A scuffle ensued, during yrhlqh the proprietor
of the house shot one of the soldiers and was in
turn shot by another soldier, after which there
was a general stampede of both parties. We
have not learned the subsequent occurrences,
but suppose there will be further trouble In the
matter
The -Enrollment Lteta.-Now that an
other draft. has been ordered our readers will
easily comprehend the necessity of having the
enrollment lists corrected. It Is a matter of the
utmost importance to the community In general
that the names of all persons not liable to draft
be stricken off tho lists, as by that means the
quota assigned to us will be exactly In propor
tion tothe number of men in our district. This
cannot otherwise be effected than by a thorough
revisal of the enrollment list!, and the citizens
themselves should see that they are corrected.
Hu& Killed.—On lait Tuesday a man aam
•d William Eaton was stiuck with a club by
William Orlspan, la Venango county, and had
his skull fractured so badly that, he died soon
afterwards. Eaton is represente 1 as haring
been a very bad man. Crispen, who is the son
of a worthy citizen of Sugarcreek township
and only eighteen years of age, surrendered
himself to the authorities on hearing of the
death of Eaton. This is the third man killed
In that county within a.few weeks.
Dlbd from fata Injuries -We hare al
ready noticed that a man named William Barry
was seriously Injured on Monday morning on
the south aide of the Monongahela river by a
piece of rock falling upon his head while labor
ing In a deep cut of the Steubenville railroad.
W e have since been Informed that he died toon
afterwards from the effects of his injuries. He
was burled from his residence on Webster
street on Tuesday afternoon.
Dead Letters—The extraordinary number
of dead letters which were received during the
past year should teach the lettet-writing com
munity to be more careful in directing their let
ters. Uany of these letters contained money
deeds, bills or exchange, drafts, checks, Jewelry
and other valuables, but owing to the fact that
proper care was not taken In directing them,
they never reached their place of destination.
Third Ward Meeting—The gallant
Third ward is already In the field, and is mak
ing arrangments to fill the quota which will be
assigned to them under the call for 300,000 men.
A meeting will be held in the School House this
evening, at which all the enrolled men are re
quested to attend for the purpose of ac
tion in regard to the draft. We wish them suc

LATE NEWS FROM THE FRONT
Capture of a Notorious Rebel Scow
Nkw York, December 21 —The
morning papers havo nothing from
Sherman; Tho Harald'g City Point
correspondent of the 17th, says, the
notorious rebel scout, Sergeant William
h. Waterbury, of the Third North Cat
ohna rebel cavalry, was mortally wound
ed on Thursday last. Waterbury has
long been known to our authorities as a
vigilant, troublesome scout, with brav
ery enough to venture into our camps
and sagacity enough to evoid detection,
he has infested the country between
•James river and our loit, beyond Pe
tersburg, all summer, and all attempts
«trap him have hitherto failed. Small
rtles have been sent in pursuit, but be
vef could be overtaken or identified.
But a few days ago he came to the
wells one morning before sunrise and
seriously threatened the capture of a
guard and this wjthin half range of
three Union fortß, and said to be within
minie range of Gen. Meade's headquar
ters.
It appears he came to our pickets
dressed in Union uniform, representing
himself as one of onr soldiers, and re
questing to he directed to his regiment
Contrary to his expectations, a soldier
was sent with him as a guide. On the
way he induced the guide to halt to
diink, -when he seized his musket and
made him follow as a prisoner. At
night he fell asleep while guarding the
Union soldier, who, in turn, seized the
musket and shot him.

SECOND SESSION,
W 4BHINGTON, Dec. 21. —fl'oca*—Mr.
Worthington,the Member from Nevada
was qualified and took his seat. ’
Mr. Kayson introduced a bill levying
a duty on tobacco and its manufactur
ers, which was referred to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means.
The House took up the pending res
olution calling on the Secretary of War
to communicate what obstacles exists to
a general exchange of piisoners.
Debates ensued in which the subject
of retaliating the same treatment on
rebel prisoners as the rebels bestow on
ours, was discussed.
Mr. Schenck said that the Committee
on Military Affairs, was gathering in
formation on the subject of barbarous
treatment of our prisoners and expected
soon ro report. Finally the House
adopted a resolution that if not compat
ible with the public interests, the ex
change of prisoners not heretofore, pnb
lished to be communicated to the House
by the Secretary of War.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration of the bill to suddlv over
$90,000,000 of the deficiency in the ap
propriations for the present fiscal year.
On motion of Mr. Ancona, it was re
solved that the Committee of Ways and
Means be requested to inquire into the
expediency of reducing or suspending
the import duty on printing paper, and
they are hereby requested to report by
bill or otherwise, at an early day
On motion of Mr. Coffroth, the Com
mit ee op Military Affairs were instruct
ed to inquire into the expediency of
amending the Enrollment Act, so as to
a'low any person drafted to put in a sub
stitute at any place where a mustering
officer is stationed, to be credited to any
part of the Congressional district in which
the person resides at the time the sub
stitute is accepted.
During the brief dis.uasion on the
appropriations for printing paper for the
Government Printing Bureau, Mr.
Rice, of Mass., said there was ev
ldence to show that the paper manufac
turers have combined to advance the
price of paper. He had heard it urged
but bad never got the substantial facts’
One rtason for tbe high price was the
scarcity and tax on the raw material
Mb Washburne said the duty on pa
paper is prohibitory. He had under
stood from the best authority that there
is a combination of p per manufactur
ers who control the w bole mattei and
who have brought u„ the prices'from
twelve and thirteen twenty five and
twenty-six cents p r pound. That
there has been such ua advance in pa
per the gentlemen could not deny.
Mr. Dawes said this was the result in
part of the tax on the raw material and
the rate of foreign exchange.
Mr. Washburne, resuming, said he
knew of a case where one half of a pa
pa per mill in Illinois was offered for sale
lor $15,000 because they say it will pav
an interest of forty per cent. The tax oil
paper is to tax knowledge,'and will de
stroy many ol the newspapers of the
country.
Mr. Morrill asked the gentleman how
high is the tax on paper ? *
Mr. Washburne replied that it was
high enough to prevent any paper from
being imported. He thought it was
twenty per cent., payable in gold.
The.committee then rose. The House
passed the Deficiency bill, with slight
amendments, aud adjournej.
Sk.natk— Mr. Coleman presented the
memorial of Harper & Bros., and other
publishers,praying for the modifications
ol laws relalive to carrying periodicals
In tiie mails.
Mr. Sherman reported to the House
the bill taxing whißkey, and asked that
immediate action be laken upon it.
He said the bill proposed to anticipate
tue additional tax by making iu opera
lions commence January 31st, instead
ol Febuary 31st. It was objected that
such a change of legislation indicated
instability* In Congress. It was in ef
lect takiug a Judgement upon manufac
tHrerß, and seriously interfering with
their regular arrangements. On the
other hand, it was asserted that the
manufacturer of the article would be
greatly increased. If ihis bill shouldnot
pass that an immense quantity
would be made upon which only a dol
lar would be paid.
Mi. McDougal objected that it would
interfere with contracts.
Mr. Farwell asaested that the neglect
to tax whißky, had already deprived the
the country of moie than enough to pay
up the army to date.
On motion of Mr. Sumner, the Senate
proceeded to the consideration of the
resolution to repeal the reciprocity trea
Mr. Sumner—l had intended, on the
consideration of this proposition, to re
new the whole subject and to exhibit at
length the history of the reciprocity
treaty, but after the debate a few days
ago, and considering the apparent una
nimity in the Senate. I have felt un
willing to occupy the time,by auy pro
tracted remarks. They are not needed!
The people of the United States have
been uneaßy under the reciprocity trea
ty for several years. I'may almost say
trom its dhte I ,'there was a feeling that it
-was more advantageous to Canada
The feeling has of late, ripened into
connection, at the .same time the exi
gencies of the present war, requiring so
large an expenditure, making it unreas.
onable for us to countenance a treaty by
which the resources of the countiy un
questionably suffer. It is such con
siderations sb these,which have brought
the public mind to it present position.
The. unamiable feeling manifested to
wards the Untied States by the people
of Canada, has had little influence in
the question, unless, perhaps, they may
have compelled us to look at It in the
light of reason,rather than of sentiment
The question of fisheries ia included"
in the -treaty. Some arrangements
either by reciprocal legislation, or by
further negotiation, it can be made on
this matter. 1: so far as it may he naed
ed. The Commlttee, after careful con
sideration-,and a full meeting was unau
imous inits reports,and as the Committe
represents all parts of the country, and
all the Sentiments of the Senate, I have
thought that perhaps there might be a
similar unaminiy amoog the Senators
therefore I forbear all further remarks’
and ask for a vote. ’
Mr. Bale expressed himself opposed
to the repeal of the treaty, and asked
lor the postponment of the resolution
until the 6th of January next, that he
inight have an opportunity to address
the Benate on the subject,
Messrs. Trumbull, Davis, Poster,
Connea and Foote, while in favor of the
resolution, were also m favor of its
postponment, inasmuch as Mr. Hale is
directed to speak on the subjeot.
Mr. Sumner said, after the cxplana.
tionofMr. Hale, he would leave ihe
subject entirely in his hands. He had
supposed that Mr. Hale had already
stated his objections to the proposition,
in his remarks a few days ago, bm if
such was not the case, he was perfectly
wiling that the postponment should'take
place, so the resolution was postponed
to the 6th of January next. After
cntivc session, adjourned

Washington, Dec. 21.—The Navy
Department has received a communica
tion from Commander Parker, com
manding the Potomac flotilla, in which
he says: Learning from the provost
marshal of Baltimore that the enemy
were arming boats on Coon river for
the purpose of making a raid on the
bay, I sent the Cceur de Lion and the
Mercury thither on the 15fch under com*
marfd of Acting Master Morris. They
fouhd thirty-one large boats and two
scows, all of which were captured. The
home guard, in large force, made a
8 jesistan ce, but were driven off.
Ihe Postoffice Department has receiv
ed the following dispatch from special
agent Martiand:
Fortress Monroe , Dee. 80.— W. Den
nison: I have just arrived here. I left
im?' ®|j ennan on the evening of the
10th. The great mail was distributed
to the army on that dav. The best of
health and spirit prevails.
A. 8. Mabkiand.
A d spatch from the Army of the Po
tomac says: An attack was made by the
rebels last night on our pickets on the
extreme left of the line held by the di
vision of Gen. Miles of the 2d corps,
they captured six or eight men. killed
one and wounded all of the sth New
Hampshire regiment. The attacking
party were quickly driven back and the
lines re-established.
A report is current to-day that \Jeff
Davis is dead, having poisoned himself.
December 20.—Richmond papers of
yesterday say that the report of the
death ot Jeff. Davis is a canard,and that
he is well and will be in his office dur
ing the day. (Signed)

The London “Times” on Sherman
News from Charleston, S. C.
? K . W n Y J OHK ' Dec - 21-—The World has
a detailed account of the situation at
Savannah, but contains no news from
that quarter. Military men here do not
expect the fall of Savannah immediate
ly. The city may probably hold out
two weeks or more, but its capture Is
considered certain.
The London Times compares Sher
man s movement in Georgia to the Duke
of Marlborough’s march into Germany
which resulted in the battle of Blen
heim, and says: Nothing in modern
times equals it. It will either make
Sherman a famous general or it may ru-
In him and his army.
The Times' Paris co.respondent says-
A lew days after the result of the elec
tion was Kuown Mr. Dayton had a long
mu-mew with the French ministers and
delivered a dispatch from Mr. Seward
Since theu the tone of the official press
has entirely changed, and all its abuse
Ol Lincoln and the North has stopped
1 he papers now tell ihe truth about
.Northern successes.
The Hmild's London correspondent
considers Earl Russell's loiter as the
, “T IS tlle coffln ‘°r the rebel cause
abroad. The aarne letter speaks of the
friendship of France towarde the United
States and says: Napoleon told Slidell
that tlu-ie -was no hope of recognition
and that the rebels must make the beßt
terms with the North they could. The
rebel scrip is sinking and American
slock is rising.
