MASSACRE AT LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
On the evening of August 20th the guerilla
chief Quantrell, with a force of about 800,
grossed the rivor trom Missouri ana mane a
Hidden clash upon Lawrence, Kansas, anil set
tire to the buildings, and shot many of the de
tonceloss citizens. The list of killed and
wounded numbers over 180. All the bouses
that remain standing are filled with killed and
wounded. From the ruins of burned houses
the charred remains of other victims are being
taken. In one case the guerillas drove
twelve men into house and shot them, and
then burned the building. In several instan
ces the men were shot whilst their wives and
children were clinging to them. The bandits
stole all the money they could find, and took
the jewelry and rings ofl' the women ; broke
open two banks, and burned the town. The
loss of property is estimated at about two mil
lions of dollars. This is one of the most hor
rid transactions of the rebellion, and the per
petrators deserve the severest punishment that
can be inflicted upon them.
THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
We hare 4ter good news from Charleston,
The attack on Sumter commenced on Monday
morning, the 17tb, by Gen. Gillmore's siege
batteries and the naval shore battery. The
Monitor fleet, aided by the wooden vessels,
attacked Forts Wagner and Gregg with great
fury, silencing the former and almost silenc
ing the latter, thus enabling the shore batte
ries to play on Sumter. The Monitors Paiaps
co and Passaic were within 1,400 yards of
Sumter, and played into it with considerable
havoc. The damage to the walls of Sumter
by the shore batteries aud the Monitors is vis
ible without the aid of a glass. The soutn
and east face of the fort looks like a honey
comb, and its entire detnolishmeut will soon
be accomplished. No damage to our fleet

THE CATHOLIC TELEGRAPH ON THE NEW
YORK RIOTS.
The Catholic Telegraph ot Syracuse N. Y.,
in its issue of July 25th says : "how has the
riot been set in motion ? Who are the insti
gators 1 Who are the cunning but cowardly
conspirators who have misled and inflamed
the poor woiking rreu, and while they
kept secretly within doors, have sent forth
their dupes into the public streets to commit

whose hands is the blood of the slaghlered I
We have a right to inquire, because though
peonle of various nativity were engaged, yet
many of our Catholic countrymen have lost
their lives. Who were the political leaders in
New York by whom they were secured into
insurrection against the constituted anthori
ties? . . . The Catholic Church teaches
obedience to legitimate authority. . .

Their faith and their works correspond.

passed away for the present wo hope forever.
We know now what would have been the late
of the country had not our army rolled back
the cloud of war on the invaders of Pentisy 1-
vania. To every right minded man, this is a
time for counsel with himself for calm re
flection". He can hive no difficulty in his
choice between order and disorder. The Irish
Catholic, in particular, ought to know who
are his friends. They are notthe secessionists
they are not the politicians, but the men
who love obedience to authority. We appeal,
then, to all our Catholic friends to join heart
and band in setting an example of respect for
law and order, and discourage the insidiiioiis
traitor and the treacherous newspaper' which,
pretending to be Catholic, does all iu its pow
er to mislead body and soul."
Why Don't he Kksign ! We are frequently
asked, says the Harrisliurg Telegraph, why
Judge Woodward, the candidate for Govern
or, does not resign the place he holds on the
bunch of the Supreme Court. . We presume
there are two reasons for this. In the first
place, a Locof'oco was never kuown to let go
the public est so loug us he could hold on to
it, or so long as it would yield anything in
the shape of money or its equal ; and in the
second place, Copperhead as Judge Wood
ward is, we have no idea that he is foolish e-
nough to suppose he has any chance of being
elected Governor.

THE DRAFT DECISIONS, ETC
Hedquartebs of Provost Marsh iL,

Waterford: Aug. 19. 1863
The following Circulars trom the War Do
partinent in relation to the Draft, are publish- i
ed by older lor the information ot the public:
War Department, i
Provo.-t Marshal Gen. s Office,
Washington, Aug.. 6.
Circular No. 64.
1. The names of men who have entered the
Military service of the United States fof three
years or the war, and which may, by chance,
be drawn in the dralt, shall be stricken, by
the Board of Enrollment of the District i n
which they may be drawn, from the rolls of
drafted men ot that District. Suitable re
marks, explanatory of the case, shall in each
instance, be entered upon the rolls opposite
the names thus stricken from them. The
men whose names may be so drawn and strick
en trom the rolls ot any district, shall be cred
ited on the quota ot that district ; and their
places shall uot lie fiiled from the 50 per cent,
drawn to cover exemptions under the 2d sec
tion of the Enrollment act
2. Boards of Enrolment are reminded that
Section 13 and 17 of the Enrolment Act, re
quire that Substitutes shall be acceptable.
Boards must satisfy themselves iu ecn case,
as to the acceptability, in all respects, of the
Substitute. All the conditions necessary to
decide as to such acceptability in every case
canuot be specified ; but the conditions which
recruits for the service ol the United States
are required to fulfil should be observed in
regard to Substitutes.
3. The lollowing opinions of Colonel Joseph
Holt, Judge Advocate General, sre published
for the information of all officers of this Bu
reau, and for their guidance in the case spec
ified, and in analagoiis cases.
In the case of a father claiming exemption
for a son under 7th clause of 2d Section of En
rolment Acton the ground that he has al
ready furnished two sons to the Military Ser
vice one' of whom is now dead.
Opinion "The exemption claimed- in
this case canuot be allowed underfill 7th pro
vision of the 2d Section of the Enrolling Act,
because that provision requires that there
shall be two members of the same family in
the military service at tiie same time, to en
title the residue of the family to the privilege
granted."
With regard to liability to draft of members
ci the Enrolment Board and of butlers.
Opinion "It seems that under the compre
hetisive and imperative language of the Enrol
liug Act, Suttlers together with the members
of the Enrolling Board, are ueeeasarily Mib-
ct to draft. If" the latter are now in the Mil
itary service it may be a ground, should they
be drafted, for relieving tneui fr.ni the duties
of the field : but not having been in the mili
tary service on the SJ of March, the :aw gives
no privilege of exemption beyond that which
is secured to other citizens."
In case of exemptions obtained by means of
false affidavits.
Opinion "So long as the certificate of
exemption remains in force, it would not be
proper to hold the drafted men as liable to
military service. The judgment of the En
rolment Board is declared by the law to be
final upon the question of exemption, but it
is so only while that remains unrevei sed. 1 he
Board, like any otherqtiasi judicial body, may
revise its own action and correct any errors
which it may have committed. If therefore
the decision has been based on oaths or testi
monies subsequently ascertained to be false,
the Board should, having first given notice lo
the party, proceed to reconsider its action. and
if. for the reason mentioned the judgement
should be found to be erroneous, it should be
set aside, and the certificate of exemption ba
sed upon it, should be vacated and held for
naught. The party should then be held lor
military duty as though uo such certificate
had been issued. The persons making the
false oath3 in the matter would be subject to
prosecution, out as the military atithorties
have the first claim on the party drafted, he
should not be turned over to the civil author
ities without the special directions of the
secretary of War."
In case of persons who were exempted from
the draft of 1802, by reason of Iteing engaged
in the manufacture of arms for the govern
ment. Opinion ground is perceived on
which the claim of exemption made for these
men can rest. The lelfer ! too Secretary of
War does not touch the question. It n-cog
nizes them, it is true, as iu t he service of
the government, but this they may wejj
be without their being in the military service
In the sense of the enrolling Act. They do
not seem to have been ever enlisted, or to
have been formally entered into the service
for which they were drafted, but, on the con
trary, were excused therefrom because of
their being engaged in the manufacture of arms
tor the government, in Colts establishment
It is in reference to this latter employment
that they are spoken of by the Secretary of
war, as "in the service of the government,"
and such service most clearly cannot exempt
them."
In case of a substitute who proves to be a
dt-serter from military service or a man al
ready in that service.
Opinion "A man Who is under obliga
tion to perform military duty on his own ac
count canDot certainly be received as a substi
tute for another, lo lie acceptable in the
j nense of the law, be must possess all he legal
qualifications for the service. But an enlist
ed man has disqualified and absolutely disa
bled himself from p r forming the duties of a
substitute by engagements entered into with
the government. If the Board of Enrollment
has been imposed upon, and has granted a
certificate of exemption, because of a substi
tute furnished, who proves to be a deserter,
or oue already in the military service, the
Board should, alter notice to the party, pro
ceed to reconsider its action, and should set
aside its lortuer judgement and annul the cer
tificate of exemption granted. Its right to do
so. on a proper showintr is undeniable the
act of determining upon the acceptibility of
the substitute being judicial in its character
and subject to revision and reversal. The
certificate of exemptiou having been thus va
cated the party's origiual liability under the
draft reruaitis." James B. Frt.

Circular No. 68.
The following interpretation of the second
and third clauses of section 2d of the enrol
ment act is published for the information and
guidance of Officers of this Buieau viz., Sec
ond, -'the only Son liable to military duty of
a Widow dependent upon his lahor for sup
port." The term only son commonly means
that there is but one son ; hence the expres
sion "only son liable-' to do military duty,"
means one son liable to military duty, where
other sons, if any, are not thus liable. Thus
to make a good claim for exemption under this
clause, it must be established 1st, that tbo
person drafted is the only son liable to milita
ry duty of a Widow ; and 2d that the Widow
is dependent for support upon this particular
son. The Widow may have any number of
Sons not liable to military duty as minor.",
over age, or otherwise ; but it she have one
Son who is liable and sb is acualfy dependent
opon that Son he is exempt- Third' "the only
Son of aged or infirm parents dependent npon
his labor for support !' This clause car
ries the same meaning of the word, making
it Synonymous with one. The same con
stiuction will be placed upon this as npon the
nerond clause of ibis section. To obtain ex-
j emptions under this clause it w ill therefore be
necessary to establish lst,tnal tne ageu or iu
firm parents have but one Son liable to mili
tary duty ; 21 that they are dependent npon
this particular Sou for support.

DIED:
On the 18th inst., of Chronic Diairlien, cur..
tracu-d in the army, James, son ol Joseph ami
atiry Jane Birchheld, aired 2.i years and to
months. This youth, called away so enrly m
liii man-hood a sacrifice in the cause of hi
country, became a volunteer soldier in Co. I'..
I49ih Reg. P. . about a year betor- h;s
death. During five tedious months be suffer
ed under disease in the camp and the hospital.
He was then brought to his father's house,
where he lingered about seven weeks more.
and then passed awav, we trust, to a better
home. His salvation through the merits nt
the Lord Jesus, the only redeemer, tnsgel
much of his earnest and prayerful attention ki
the fast few weeks of his life ; and not otiiy
did he b. come reconciled to death, but, in
the event drew near, he expressed sn anxiety
to go and be with Christ. To the youthf ul
friends aud acquaintances of the depaited,UoJ
says, "Be ye also ready."
In Lawrence township, Clearfield county,
Petin'a, of Consumption, on the 19th instant.
Geo. H. Mtllin, aged 2G years and 7 months.
The deceased was a man of many nobte and
generous traits of character. He was c overt
ed about six weeks ago; since thuii be has
been faithful to religion. In his death bin
friends have susttined an irreparable loss. A
a man, tie was amiable, generous aua agreea
ble. As a friend, he was constant and true.
As a husband, he was adect ionate and kind.
Asa christian, he was ardent ami faithful;
au! his dying testimony wastoocleai to doubt
for one moment his acceptance with joo.
Wfcll may it be paid of him, "that religion
which he had so shortly professed, was suffi
cient to sustain him in a dying hour.' km
last words were-r-after bidding them all an af
fectionate farewell "I In goug home to glo
ry." Ills sudden and untimely end n deeply
mourned by an atlectionate wife and two chil
dren.
HI oil help the widow in hvr grief.
The children in their woe ;
That haDd n one can give relief.
'That measured out the blow." S.
