He was lately shot through the bowels in action,
and whilst confined in-the hospital by this dan
gerous wound, he contracted typbord fever, from
which he has jfist recovered, although still very
feeble. This gallant soldier is not yet 18 years of
age, and has been two years in active service, and
participated in all the raids and actions of that
dashing cavalry leader, Col. Spear.

THE DRAFT—ME QIIOTAs.
The following letter addressed by Guy. Curtiii
to the President, is an unanswerable exposition
of the fallacies, follies and disregard of the acts of
Congress, which have marked the official conduct
of Provost Marshall General Fry, in assigning the
quotas for the pending, draft. The complaint
against this officer comes, np from nearly if not
every loyal Executive, and from the peOple with
one voice. He has forfeited all confidence by his
repeated and midigious blunders; his absurd,
conflicting find often unintelligible decisions, and
the indecision that ever results rroin incompeten
cy. He ferst gave official notice that the quota.of
this'Etiite was 66,999. A few days thereafter he
made it about 44,000, and since then he has fixed
it at about 49,000. One day he bad the quota of
NewYeikcity fixed at less than 5000, and about
the time that thelubabitants of Gotham were cou-
gratulating themselves that they had their quota
fill E di Gen. Fry added 16,000 to it. Probably
he may make it 40,000 to-morrow, and reduce it
to 10,000 the day thereafter, When called upon
for au explanation of his method of ascertaining
quotas. be answered by a perfectly unintelligible
- letter, and columns of figures which defy all ac
ceAted rules of arithmetic. All thisdemonstrates
'that Glin. Fry is totally incompetent, and he
should be removed. He never knows when he is
right himself and most naturally the people never
feel assured that he has done them justice in the
assigunient-of quotas. We subjoin the letter of
Governor Curtin, which is a plain, pointed and
conOve 'exhibition of the incompetency that

EXECVIIVE CHAMBER, Harrisburg, 26th Jan. 1e6.1.
To the'Prtsident :
Ste `:, , ,The act of the 3d of March, 18(13, corn
moray called the Enrolment Act, provided (see- f
this 4).that for the purposes of the act, each Con
- gregsional district of the respective States should
form a district, and (section 11) that all persons
caroled should be subject to be called into the mil
itary service of the United States, and to coutii.ue
in service during:the present Rebellion, not, how
ever, exceeding the term of three years, and fur
ther, (section 12) that in assigning'to the districts
the number of men to be furnished,therefrom, the
President should take into consideration the num
ber of,volunteers and militia by and from the Bei.-
eral States in which said districts were situated,
and the period of their service since the commence
totnt of the rebellion, and should so make asSign
meats:au to equalize the numbers swung the dis
tricts el the several States, considering and al
lowing for the numbers already furnished as afore
said and (he time of their service.
The time of actual service which by this act
you were directed to consider and allow for, could
not, without impracticable labor, (or indeed at
all,) be fixed with exactitude/or each district, but
-f — tttould easily have beetrso approximated by- av
erages that little, if any,-Practical injustice would
tiave been done. The commencement. of the third
yegof the war waspose at handat the time of the
,passage of the act. It would not have been diffi
cult to ascertain, of one thousand men enlisted
for three lean, What was the average number
that remained actually in the service at the end of
the feist and ifeeond years "respectively, and thus
theact Could have been substantially complied wit h.
For instance, suppose it to have been found that
of one thousand men enlisted for three years;
there remained in the service an average of forty
per cent. at the close of the first gear, and twenty
per cent. at the close of the second year. The
result-would have been, under the 'provisions of
the act, that sixteen hundred one year's men would
have been taken as the equivalent of one thous
and thee year's men.
Unfortunately the heads of bureaus. to whom
the matter seems to have been entrusted,'began
by falling into a strange misconstructiou of the
act. They did, in effect, strike from the twelfth
section the phrases " period of their" and " time
of their service," and insert in lieu thereof the
phrase " term of their enlistment," and then pro.
seeded to apportion credits by multiplying the
. number of men furnished from a district by the
• nqmber of years for which they were en listed.
' Calealations made on this basis - wore, of course,
most, extravagant, and the people everywhere
-.; somehow. injustice was being done. I n
t to soften this. numerous and contra.
..
'Artery orders have been issued from the Provost
Marshal flenornPß rare. and lone ereave by tim.
self and others have been 'in vain published to ex
plain and jwitify their action.
In fact, as soon at they get beyond the morally
certain limit of the actual service of the man,
their calculatiou has noslonger a practical basis.
its ileinciple curried to a legitimate extreme,
would justify the enlistment of one man for fifty
,thousand years, and crediting him as the whole
,quota of thq State, with a small excess.
Surely eddy reasonable man can say for him
self whetherhe has found that getting one pair of
boots for three years is practically equivalent to
getting three pairs of hoots for one year.
The visionary character of the system on which
they have proceeded cannot -he betterillu , :trated
than by the result at which, they hav47• arrived on
the present occasion. Therota of Pennsylvania
on the last call as auruu ced to be sixty-one
thonsand seven hundred; la;1' quota to make up
deficiencies under that call was announced to be
sixty-six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine
men. On the 2.lth inst. it was announced that
the quota of the Western 'Division had, on revi
sion, been fixed at to eats-two thousand five hun
dred and forty-three, which would make that of
the whole State about forty-four thousand ; and
late on the same day it was further announced
that the quota of the Western District was twen
ty-five thousand the hundred and twelve, and that
ot. the whole State forty-nine thousand five han
ded and eighty-three. All these changes being
chased by no intervening circumstances that I
On aware of. In fact our qtiota on the last call
was filled, and there can be no deficiency to be
nbvc supplied.
I Their plan is unjust to the districts and to the
(lovermuctit. It wholly ignores the losers of men,
IV desertion. sickness, death and casualties.
!Oases from most of these causes are greater (k
-ing the first year of service than afterwanle.-
tinvn which has furnished three thousand men for
one fear, has probably lost three-fifths of them
from these causes before the expiration of the
Another equal town which has furnished
4ie thousand men lot three years may 4 betbre -the
expiration of that terns have lost seventeen-twen
tieths of them. The first town will have thus
4vetritixteen hundred men to the country—the
second but eight hundred and fifty. There is no
equality in this. The exhaua.tion of the industrial
population of the two_ towns is in very unequal
proportionis. As to the Government—the Govern
ment has in the first case the actual service du
ring the whole year of fourteen hundred men; in
the second ease, the actual service of say four
hhndred men during the whole first year, of pro
bably not more than two hundred during the whole
second year, and say one hundred and fifty men
at most during the whole third year. Besides,
the amount of service that may be required prompt
ly is to be considered, and not merely the agreed
term of service. At the late storming of Fort
Fisher, one 'at least of the Pennsylvania one year
regiments was engaged, and behaved - most gal
lantly—who • will say that if one-third of their
number had been enlisted for three years, it would
on that account have been able to perform as
much service as Elie whole number did in that
unsurpassed exploit !
But there is even more serious error than has
been above exposed- The clause of the act of :Id
of March, It-:63, under which your officers profesa
to be acting, has not been in force since the 24th
February, 1864. •
Whether induced thereto by the strangeness of
the system which had been adopted under it, or
for whatever reasons, Congress though tit to pass
the act of 24th February, 18.154, (entitled An act
to amend the act of 3d March, 18634 which pro
vides [section 2] that the quota of each ward of a
city, town, &c., shall be, as nearly as possible , in
proportion to the number of men resident therein
liable to render military Service, taking into ac-
Count, as fitr as practicable, the number which had
been previously furnished therefrom.
Thus the former act was amended •by giving
credits, not to districts, but to smaller localities,
and by omitting the provision fir consider* and
allowing for the time of service in estimating cred
its; they were directed in future to be given, as
far as practicable, ou the basis of the number 01
Men previously furnished, without reference to the
time of service.
And this was followed , u 5 by the act of 4th Ju
ly, 1864, (passed at the same session,) which pro
vides (section 1) that the President may, at his
discretion, call for any number of volunteers for
the respective terms of one, two and three years,
With bounties regulated according to their term
of enlistment, and (section 2) that in case the quo
ta of any town. '&e., shall not be filled within the
space of sixty days after such call, then the P-es
ident shall immediately order a draft for one year
to fill such quota.
These are the clauses which now regulate the
subject. It is not for nn• or
.100, sir, to discuss
the iluestion of their propriety. They are to he
oheYeci.
-Itiwould be easy - to show that they forma rea
sonable and intelligible - system. Formerly when
calls, were made of men for military service, they
were, made by requisitions on the Governors of
the respective States, who. then proceeded to
draftithe required number to fill the quota of the
State'. In this draft, men from any State or lo
cality who had voluntarily entered the service of
the United States, by enlisting in the army or
Uherwige, were not taken into •aceratrit.l No
credits were giving for them on the quotn7Anv
more than for men who had of their own accord
engaged themsebes iu any other Inn fat employ
ment. The sy stem, however, of raising. very
large bodies of men as volunteers,
.under the act
of Congress of Hill, and drawn upon the milita
ry population of the respective States and locali
ties very hea, ily, and not quite equably, and there
fore alien the enrolment act of 156:3 was passed,
it was thought best to provide fur equalizing the
exhaustion, by allowing credits to localities for
the volunteers furnished by them. But the Gov
,anment had accepted volunteers for vaii - Ous
terms of service, and hence the effort to render
the equalization more perfect by considering and
allowing for the time of their service as well as
thenumber of men. The acts of 1564, above re
cited, have modified this system 'by fixing a defi
nite term (ore year) for which men are to be
drafted. Volnnteerstor 'not less than that term
are to be credited to their localities on the quota
and receive a certain bounty from the Govern
ment. Such of them as choose to enlist fur lon
ger terms receive further bounties from the Got•
eritiinent, but so far as regards the increased term
beyohd one year, are not to lie credited on the
quota, but are to be left on the same footing that
all volunteer:, were on before the act of 1563.
That is to say, the Government announces that it
will take by its authoritya certain number of men
from a locality tbr military service for one year.
That is the lawful demand which it will enforce.
It pays bounties in case of localitieitto facilitate
them in complying with this -demand'itithout
compulsory draft. But it has made no demand
6:r men to serve for two or three yeats. -Thu
Governments receives and pays additional boun
ties to volunteers for these terms, hut in that it
deals with men only, and, as the increased term
of service beyond one year is not agreed to be
rendered in compliance a ith any demand of the
Goverment, it gn 61 the locality no credit on the
quota for it. The Government requires one hun
dred thousand men for one year, not a less num
ber of men for a longer term. For a deficiency
•in the number of olnnteers tiir that term.. it
makes a draft for one year. This is to fill the
quota—not more hor less—o Ilea the draftlas
been effected the quota is full—there is neither
excess nor deficiency.
You see that the system thus established by law
is not without foundation in rennin, and van be
readily understood.
sir, you may not have been heretofore apprised
(f the fact that your sub4rdinateB aro wholly dis
regarding the act of 24th February, kifl4. They
are proceeding in open and direct violation ofit,
and are thus creating; naturally, great confusion
and uncertainty among the people.- They an
nounce on the one hand that although a three-,
years' man counts onit,as a one-years' nian to
wards the quota on whio he volunteers, yet that
tie shall be counted as three one-years' men, to.
.wards the quota on a future call. This b directly
in tti'n teeth of the law. On the other hand, they
ure cyphering out a defwiency on the last call, by
counting three one years' men as only equivalent
to one three years' man, which is equally. against
law.
Thus the quota of Pennsylvania, under the call
of 18th July last, was filled in accordance with
the law by men to serve for not less than one year.
The term of service of these men is not yet half
expired, and yet your ,:übordinates arc threaten
ing a draft, to fill an alleged deficiency on that
very call, the existence of which they attempt to
make out by persisting in their unlawfurand un
substantial theories and calculations.
Our people know that the Govermnent requires
more men. They are willing to furnish them—
heavy as the burden has become on the industrial
population. Let the requirement be made in the
clear and definite shape which the law provides
for, and it will be cheerfully complied with. But
it is hardly to be tolerated that your subordinates
should be permitted longer to pursue the system
of substituting for the law, an- eccentric plan of
their own.
Sir, on behalf of the freemen 411dg Common
wealth, who have always given a cheerful and
hearty support to your Government in the prose
cution of this.war—it is my duty to insist—and I
do insist—that you enforce upon your subordinates
that obedience to the law, which you owe, as well
as they and all of us. -It is of - evil example—it
tends to enfeeble—nav to destroy '—the jest power
of the Government—tliiit you should suffer your
C
to treat with
illy those
of
Congress, and espeCially those which youyourelf
approved, and which regulate a matter of such
deep and delicate moment as the enforcing a
draft for the military service.
Relying heartily on your v.isdoin and justice to
set right what has thus been going wrong, and to
compel heneethrth on the part of all, a proper re
-speet for and obedience to the laws of the laud,
lam sir, very respectfully, A. G. CURTIN.
TERRIBLE FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
On Weidnesday morning last a fire broke out m
an 'extensive depot for the storage of petroleum,
in' Washington Avenue above Muth street, Phil
adelphia. - The buildings consisted of four large
sheds. and the lot extended back nearly to Ells
worth street. The extensive it was nearly all
occupied by barrels of coal oil, piled tier upon tier.
The place was a sort of bonded warehouse for this
product, and was in charge of the find of Black
burn & Co. Three thousand barrels of coal iii
were stored here.
:Ninth street, below Washington, Is built up
principally-withe three-story Hick dwellings, oc
cupied mainly by respectable fainilies of limited
tueans—the housgs renting, we should judge, for
from two hundred to two hundred and tiffs. 'dol.
lat.s a year. The first street below Washington
street is Ellsworth. The next is Federal, both of
which streets !rad, in that vicinity, about the same
class of dwellings upon them as those upon Ninth
street. Upon the south-west corner of Ninth and
Washington streets there is a coal yard belonging
to Meisrs. Daily & Porter, and immediately I‘ est
of this, upon Washington street, was the lot of
Blackburn & Co.
Policeman Orr, who is a very intelligent and
faitlithl man, says that about half past 'l o'clock,
while walking his bent nude deep in slush, he saw
the fire flashing from one of the spacious sheds,
among the barrels. He gave the alarm upon the
instant, and with direful threbodings, As he knew
all the perils of the place, and also the feeling that
existed in the vicinity concerning it. His misgiv
ings proved but too well Uneded. BefOre the
nearest' engine could reach the spot, one shed wits
filled with flame, while under. the eaves of the
shed ascended an ominous column of smoke
blacker than the thunder clouds of the triples.
The heat caused the Upper tier of barrels to burst;
the oil poured down over the rest, ran blazing over
the ground, and by the time the firemen reached
the spot all four of the sheds . were sending up
columns of dark red flume that imprintedits glare
upon the entire southern sky. Wild excitement
had deadly fear seized upon all in the vicinity.—
Everywhere there.. were commotion and alarm.
Let the reader light a single coal oil lamp with
the wick at smoking height. Let him multiply
the volume of that light by the inflammable pro
duct of two thousands barrels filled with coal oil,
and he will not refuse to credit our statement
that small print could be read by the light of that
terrible blaze at the distance of nearly two
squares.
People iu the, immediate neighborhood rushed
from their houses as best they could. Dozens of
people ran in utter panic into the streets, just as
they left their beds, all unmindful of the slush,
six inches deep,
,that covered the sidewalks as
well as the streets. Those who were most
prompt saved their lives; but terrible to relate, a
number who were tardy in their movement, or
over confident of safety, perished. The streets
after the snow -storm of the day previous, and of
the rain that followed the snow in four honks`
duration, were in extremely bad condition. The
fireman saw that 'they could only control the
spread'of the flames, and that to extinguish the
fire was imposSible. • •
As molten lava would course down the sides df
Vesuvius, did the burning coal oil, floating upon
the water in the swollen gutters, course in its
gradual descent until it found the level of the sew
ers. This- liquid fire thus found a channel into
Ninth street, and down Ninth past Ellsworth,
thence down to the seWer in Federal street, and
along all_ that course it set fire to the houses on
both sides of the street, spreading equal destruc
tion in Wikihingtoq4:llsworth and Federal streets,
both above Nintlifrand below it. , That area is now
a mass of blackened-num
The Sluice bftween the railroad tracks on Ninth
street was literally a canal of Tartarean fire.—
The intense heat of.the current can be seen in the
mile, v.arred and bent, and in the cobble-stones
cracked and riven by the same agency. The
fronts of houses many yards distant front any fire
are blistered beyond recognition by the heat.
So fist ran the blazing oil, that to save any pro
perty in the vicinity of the yards was impossible.
It is the property of coal oil. when burning, to
eaohe impenetrable smoke. So dense is it Thus
the tire beneath is at times obscured. It was thus
that in rushing from their flows into this smoke
men, women and children stepped front their very
doors into the fatal fire. There stands now in
Ninth street, between Washington and Federal
streets, scarce a house of which apythingTemains
hut tottering walls. Furniture,4i•lothing, ev(l3--
thing m these houses was. gonel Even farther
down the street, where families were taking out
their household goods, the liquid fire Vllllle upon
them, and the half-rescued property was lapped
by by its thirsty tongue. The coal yard adjoining
the oil yard was filled with 'piles of coal, and
amongt, them ran the blazing oil. At four o'clock
the solid unbroken sheet of flame covered this
whole ground. There was not in, it one single
break. No such fire has ever before occurred in
Philadelphia, It was as the furnace of Nebuchad
nezzar, into which the water thrown by the stea
mers did but gild:, like the water of the snow that
had previously covered- the ground, to bwoll the
remorwless current that bore upon its bosom the
element of destruction. There u ere as many
houses on fire ut one moment as would has o
stretched a continuous length of five squares. and
of these at least fifty are wrecks. :ill dx elhngs
on the south side of Ninth street, next to the c•or
ncr of Washington street. adjoining the coal-y ard,
Were annihilated nt the first start.
In front of the one nearest Washington sheet
three' persons were burned to death, and more
bodies are supposed to be buried in the ruins. The
next house, No. 112 e, was occupied by Captain
Joseph H. Ware. The occupant of one of the
other houses threw his wife from the window.
Her Pack was broken by the 11111, and she is re
ported to bale perished in the flames. Captain
Ware's family consisted of himself, wife. five
daughters and two soma. They all rushed into The
strc•rt just as they left their beds. Mrs. Ware had
her youngest child, a girl of about five years of
age, in her arum She tell, and Lewis C. Williams,
a member of the Moyamensing Hese Company,
made a desperate enrt to save-her. Ile grasped
her, but wascempellel by the fiefeeaess of the
flames to abandon her to her tate: Mrs. Ware,
her child and a daughter about fifteen or sixteen
years of age, were burned to death in the street,
and so horribly mutilated that their -remains
can only be identified by circumstances. Cap ;
fain Ware and his two sons escaped: but three
of the daughters...are. missing. Both himself
and sons were badly - burned. Six bodies in all
were here recovered ; they were taken tone See
ond district stationdiouse. Three were of the
Ware family. One was a body supposid to be
that of Mr. -James Gibbons, proprietor of a dry
goods store, 11:13 south Ninth street. There was
.also saved the body of 11 boy not yet recognized,
and a man whose body was found in Ninth street,
a-short distance below Washington street. A
fragment of red cloth, resembling the linin4mf a
fireman's coat, leads to the belief that the

Mimed most fiercely and spread with such rapid

for the extra exertions of the fireman, many more
Would have Perished.-
As an instance of the rapidity with which the
flames spread, we might state that the whole
square was enveloped before one-half the people
were aroused, and many of them were awakened
from their slumbers by the firemen, who burst in
doors, and rushed in to the rescue of the mber

sought such investments 4 soiely because its capital
was not demanded at hoine. These facts arts

" bears" of Chambersburg until in intrinsic value,
if it has any, is difficult to ascertain. It is now ,
held in large quantities in this place mainly for
purely speculative purypsL!s, and our "country
_cousins" would do well toJet it rotate amongst
the speculators themselves. It it had, half the
value it is represented to hive by those'who hold
it, it would not be ()sedating on a distant and un
important market at from $1 to s2,4o—going
up and doWn as the bulls pr bears get the start
for the day, or get out the best rumor with're
gard to it. Good stock ia. not kicked about in
that way. It sold here at $2,00 last week, when
it was freely, offered in Pittsburg at $1,40.
The certificates for both Sterling and Imperial
are ready for delivery. Neither are upon the
boards although they have their letters patent and
have completed their organizations: They will
not declare dividends Mont*, but quarterly.—
This is the rude with the Most substantial com
panies now organized, and the pmpierty of it
must be obvious to all.' The certificates for Ster
ling and Imperial subscribed for at this office will
be delivered hero upon the application of subscri
bers, and the surrender of their receipts.
We have not heard of sales of Imperial in any
quantities here or elsewhere. The company has
none for sale, and holders MT not, as a rule dis
posed to part-with it. Sterling is held more spec
ulatively-, and we have-private sales repotted from
$2.50 to_s3. We believe that no one who knows
the value of the resources of:the company will dis
pose of it at less than $3 unless overloaded.
A number of shares of the capital stock of the
National Bank of Chambersburg, were sold here
by, public outcry on Saturday List, at from $67 to
68 per share. This is the highest' figure ever the
stock reached, considering that a dividend of
twenty per cent in gold has Just been paid, thus
rdducmg the value intrinsically some $22 per
shari , in currency.
