Pea n Raftsman: Some time ao you
sr.'iounced in your excellent Journal that
GaIich Township had raised her quota of
men for the late draft. This was correct.
Afterwards you published two men drafted
in -his township. Now the truth, is that
G'.:o!ieh put in one man more than her f;uo
ta. but the last three names had net yc-t
Icon reported to headquarters when the
draft came off, and therefore two men were
drafted. The mistake has been corrected,
and the drafted men have been notified that
they are not now needed. We have not
Lad a draft in our little township yet. but
we do not know what may happen in future.
A'.iotherdraft upon the old enrolment wo,u;d
do m great injustice. Observer.

In the night of October 25th. 1364, sev
eral jiersons broke into the .store of Alleman
&Co.. in Guelich Township, Clearfield Co.,
and committed an extcn. ive robbery. With
a knife they cut a hole in the double door
of the ware-room, ju.-t where the bar cross
es, by means of which the bar was easily
forced O'jtt of its keepers and an entrance
effected. From the correspondence between
the hole and the bar it U inferred that the
thieves were familiar witli the store. "They
took what change wa-; in the till, amounting
to ten or ii.tecn dollars, leaving only a bogus
fifty cents note. Of goods they took to the
vu'.uo of about three hundred dollars. Tl i y
had taken mil a more, but fortunately they
dropped a large amount in their precipitate
flight, which wis recovered next morninq.
A larg-u bag was found near the store, with
seven webs of calico and nine pairs of pan
taloons in it. By the side of the tag wore
ah-io found five pairs of boots anofseven pairs
ol shoes. The scoundrels were traced some
distance, having dropped the boards n
w! ic'i the cloth was wrapped, and on which
the cost marks were made. They also left
the print of their feet on a newly seeded
field. These rascals were most daring, as
there is a houe-'jost in front of the store,
and three other houses quite convenient.
There is reason to believe that ihcy had
light in the ttore. But the haste of tluir
retreat would .-ec-m to show that they were
! frightened at something, thus verifying the
scripture 'The wick'-d Hee when no man
I pursueth." Up to this period it is not

wiio had failed tt report: tecliriically de.st-r-ters.
About twilight in the evening they
proceeded to the house of one of the Gain's
a lurirc laiailv of
rate mulatoes. one of
whom is now ia our county jail under scn-
! tence of death for murder. As they ap
proached the h.mse, the occupants escaped
through a back window. Lieut. Kress en
tered and found supper prepared for four
persons. A gun was fired by some one out
side and a skirmi-h at once cccurred, during
which several shots were fired. Lieut Kress
was dangerously wounded by a rifle ball
which struck him under (lie arm and passed
up into the opposite shoulder, perforating
his lungs, lie and his assistants then re
treated and returned to Wiiiiamsport, He
is reported as doing well, and if in.lamation

Letter frcm Petersburg. Va.
I Headquarters 203d P. V., Limey's S.S.
i Near Richmoud, Va., Nov. t, I364i )
Dear Journal : lhe voters of the sev
eral Regiments, Brigades, Divisions and
Corps are, to-da3, busily and quietly decid
ing the important question, whether the
great Government for which our noble Sires
fought so bravely, and sacrificed so niuch to
establish, shall be sustained and protected
against the poi-onous arrows of treason, and
shall still be respected and honored? that
government for which our revered mothers,
in their youthful days, labored with swollen
heart and tear-bedimmed eye to construct
the course garment intended to warm the
shivering form of the loved one whom she
had sent, with her blessing, to the bloody
field, him from whom she had parted per
hars for the last time. And as the little
ones climbed upon her knee, or gathered a
rounol to listen to the contents of the affec
tionate epistle just received from the scene
of peril and strife, how many little fists were
shaken with a vow to sustain, when a man,
that governnrfnt for which the father was
sacrificing and fighting? How many,to-day,
have proved recreant to such vow ?
We are this day deciding whether that
blood-bought government shall be honorably
sustained, or whether the ruthless hand of
treason shall be permitted to tear out its
corner stone and raze the beautiful edifice
to tiie very ground whether the thousands
of brave fathers and brothers that have no
bly lain down their precious lives within the
last four years ; the fountains of bitt-r tears
that have never" ceased to tiow ; and the
millions of treasure expended, are all in vain
and whether our beloved and once happy
and world-envied country is to become a land
of despotism where honest labor is degrad
ing,, com pared with which crime is a virtue.
Tliis is what is being decided by Americans.
To-day the blood oi" our slaughtered com
rades, fathers and brothes, calls upon us
for justice and the salvation of our loved
country, and bids us 1 ever leave lhe field
until we have rethroned that for which they
have dared U die. Never have Americans
been called upon to exercise the right of suf
frage upon io momentous a question. Yet
how few there are who realize the impor
tance f, at this time, setting aside party
prejudice, and acting lrom reason vote for
principle.
Notwithstanding the. great copperhead
puffs which came up from 1 larrisbtirg. about
unfair Held elections, and the assurance giv
en us lat winter, by our copper Represen
tatives. ih:it. the sacred rights of the ballot
box cmld not, or would not be properly pro
tected in the field, I can say that at ail the
poll-, that have been open to-day in this im
mediate vicinity (and there are more than
one hundred; I have heard of but one piece
of rascality being practiced. It was that of
a Canraiu in my regiment ordering the polls
of his coir pany to be closed before six o'
clock knowing that he had seven pickets
out, six of whom would vote for the Union,
an I that they would be in before seven o'
clock. But as a general rule, the election
ha passed off quietly and in good order;
and I have come to the conclusion that there
is as strict an adherence to good order in the
army as among civillians; and I'll bet, at
this moment there is more than one chap in
your streets with a brick in his hat, while 1
have not seen a tipsy individual this day.

Letter from Phiiipsburpr, Pa.
Ptii!.iJ'si;iKJ, Pa., Nov. 14th, 1361,
DtAit Journal: As L predicted in my
last. o has it conic to pass, th-i whole cop
perhead tribe w is consigned lothe grave
never more to raise its traitorous hiss on
the 3th inst. Hail, ail hail tin? grand vic
tory. Thrice giorioii-, ! li;iil the land of the
free and home of the biavo. that thou art
thus most emphatically rescued from the
grips of treason that essayed to wield thy
destiny. Gloriously have the Union men
declared that no platform, made of such
timber as that of which the Chicago plat
iorm is constructed, can be supported, and
the candidates who stand thereon receive a
triumphant majority of the votes of the free
and intelligent voters, who think, and act
for themselves.
By this magnificent victorj' of right and
truth over treason and wrong, the American
Freemen have declared to the world, in
terms and numbers that can not be mistak
en, that thev are cat table of self govern
ment, and of sustaining the fundamental
principles on which our ghfrious country is
founded. They have also declared that the
war is not a failure, that no patched up
peace, no armistice, no concession to rebels
nor suffering of their aliies, (the copper
heads,) is acknowledged by them. But that
the war must be prosecuted, and pushed
forward with renewed vigor, is the verdict
rendered by the masses on Tuesday last.
The cops of our town had concocted a
very pretty scheme, to have things on the
dav of Election, all their own way. On
Monday evening, it was discovered that one
of the Inspectors of Election, would not be
present to take his pbtc on the board, (this
officer was the only one on the Election
board the Union party claimed.) Accord
ingly carlv in the evening the cops put
their machine iu motion, aud nominated
Mr. Eieazcr Hunter to fill the vacancy. AH
present, at the caucus, w?re strictly enjoin
ed to be on hand the next morning at the
tap of the School House beU prepared to e
leet their man, as provided by law. The
I Union nieu supposed that the first provision
f ,i, . .., f fj i KIlf., vacancy, would be
carried out, and they would have one of
their party on the board, so they made no
preperations on MondJy ertmin$. ut 00
Tuesday morning the scheme of the Cops
leaked out. through a son of Vulcan, a mem
ber of tht Cop caucus who exulted rather
freely over the way they were going to do
things up, that they would eleet a Demo
crat for inspector, and then they would beat
the black abolitionists easy. The Uuion
men now saw the trick, and to work they
went. The bell tapped, down struug the
cops, followed by Union men. The Grand
Sachems kept an C3"e on the door, and the
moment the last cop entered, yelled out,
"shut the door ! shut the door; and keep
them d-m abolitionists out." The door was
finally closed, when one of the Sachems,
who .answers to the ancient name of Jacob,
hastily glanced over the crowd and saw that
the chance for their man was slim, when he
said, "I move the door be open half an
hour." The Judge assented, for he under
stood as well as Jacob, how matters stood.
Jacob rushed out of the School House,
and come blowing ond lellering down the
street like n mad man. rushed into a black
smith shop, the proprietor of which belong
ed to his crew, and cried out : '"my God Joe,
get down to the School House, as soon as
possible! hurry! the d-m republicans"
here his breath gave out Stopping a mo
ment, to catch enough air to fill his coppcr
Jiottomcd breathing apparatus, ho started
down the street, the verdigris pouring forth
from every pore, shouting, '"The d-m re
publicans, I'll beat them! The d-m aboli
tionists, I'll beat, them!" The half hour up
the door was, closed, the vote was taken,
which summed up 43 for Jones, and 40 for
Hunter a triumphant majority of 8 for
the Union candidate.
The cop" of this locality all retired to
their toqid state about 11 i o'clock Wednes
day. 9 hist. Quite a number of them assem
bled at the R. it. dejtot on the arrival of t he
passenger train from Tyrone, Wednesday
morning, but the announcement was too
much for them. Poor snaiks, how they did
reel and tremble, when made aware of their
fate. One Grand Sachem of French mien
said, I tol l our fellows we had better re
joice over the victory of Rush, our town
ship." "No yon didn't." said old Union
Jake Pyle, "you expected a bigger pull to
day; now you can go to h-1 and freeze."

er rate of interest than any other, and the bust
skcciutv. Any savings bank which pays its de
positors in U. S. Xots, considers that it ispayiDg
in the best circulating medium of the country,
and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own
assets are either government securities or in notes
or bonds payable in,govercment paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary cr per
manent investment. The notes can always be
told for within a fraction of their face and accu
mulated interest, and are the host security with,
banks as collaterals for discount.
Convertible into Six per cent. 5-20
Gold L'ond. In addition to the very liberal in
terest on the notes for three years, this privilege
of conversion is now worth about three percent,
per annum, for the current rate for 5-2U Uonds u
not less than .vise per Ckxt. premium, and before
the war the premium ou six per cent. U. S. stocks
was over twenty por cent. It wi,l be seen thr t
the actual profit on this loan, at the present ma
ket rate, is not less than ten per cent, per annu u,
Its exemption from State and Muni-
cipal Taxation'. Cut aside from all the advanta
ges we have enumerated, a special Act of Con
gress exempts ALU bonds and Treasury iiotes from
local taxation. Un the average, this exemption
is worth about two per cent, per annum, accord
ing to the rate of taxation in various parts of
the country.
It is believed that no scajrities offer so great
icduceuients to lenders as Ihose issued y the gov
ernment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the
faith or ability of private parties, or s ock compa
nies, or seperate communities. onl . is pledged
f,r pay men t. while the whole property of the
country is held to secure the discharge of all the
obligationsof the United States.
While tho government offers the most liberal
terms for its Loans, it believes that the very
strongest appeal win be to the oyalty and patri
otism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all de
posits. The party depositing must endorse upon
