Hamilton, Lur pan, 3ietnl, Montgomery„ . Mercereburg, Quincy, Washington and Waynesboro, have all been draf ted once, and but four men are wvautiug in all of them. . Several notable instances of patriotic heroism have °enured in,the history of the draft.. While most men — were seeking. to avoid service on ev ery possible - pretext, four men from Stony Creek township, Somerset County, who had paid corn inutatioir last year, and were offered furloughs with - reasonalbe prospects of entire-exemption, positively declined to accept them and asked to be uniformed and sent to the front. which was -done: There names are Joseph Oldfatber. John Oldfather, Moses Miller and Andrew Miller. Jo seph Oldfather when questiiued as to his pay ment of—commutation last year, peremptorily re .ford-to answer, lest he should be sent home in stt.ad of being sent to the army. . . A number of substitute brokers tame to grief _here last week. They attemptet tall specie. of swindling upon the government; but the cease less vigilance of Capt. Eyster has made this a fruitles field for their operatiore+. The extent to which they will involve themselves in perjury to ddfraud_the government or simple substitutes out of a few dollars, seems t'alutost hicreditable. One instance occured of a'young man who was ofered_bY a New York shyster as a Georgia ref ugee: His town, county, manner of escape, oath of allegiance and everything neceamry to com plete the chain of testimony, were all complete and sworn through in thl most apprmed style: but Capt. Eyster found thd substitute sadly defi cient in his knoweledge of geography of the coun try where he claimed to have resider and final ly•discovered that he was a deserter from a Penn sylvania regiMent. Both substitute and brOker were protected by a Circle of bayonets wheit last heard from. The enormous price to which bounty brokers hare worked up the cost of substitutes cannot be sustained now that Richmond is taken and the war aboutto end. Few men who can leave at all will now pay exhorbitant prices for sulisti-_ tees, as-it is not likely that they will be wanted three•monthe, and sanguinary tattles are at an• end. THE CHEERING NEwa.—The news of the cap ture of Itichmotalpractically suspended business here on Monday last. Citizens greeted each other on every hand, and the church bells rang out their loudest peals proclaiming to the world that the death-blow had 'been given to the-rebellion.— Groups were to Le seen on every corner dispos ing the great event, and planning nut Grunt's pur- Suit of the defeated Lee; and the telegraph offices were thronged during all the afternoon by anxious men, women and children, to get the details of the news, The schools were dismissed at noon, soon after the official announcement was received, and the boys made the welkin ring with their hearty shouts for the triumphs of the brave Union army. Liitle girls clapped their hands and waved their handkerchiefs, and stout-hearted men who have been bereaved, by . , the murderous work of treason, wept tears Of joy. It was a memorable day in desolated Chambersborg, and our very' blackened walls seemed to proclaim that they have been avenged by the valor of our heroic troops. WE learn from the Fulton Republican, that the Whitfield family, which moved to this place from M'Connellsbura some five or sic years ago, and froin,_here to Philadelphia, were among the victims at the great Coal Oil fire in the latter city.

In the pocket of Mr. Whitfield was found a gold enameled ring with the inscription " John Whitfield, Esqr., ob. 20 Jam., 18:29, act 78."

Among them are the following: Resolscd,. That the success of our arms on sea and land during the'last year calls aloud for thanks giving and praise to Almighty God, who alone ie the giver of victory, and in whose hands art the raestunes of men and nations.

Resolved, That we pledge him our undivided support and most ardent prayers in his efforts to maintain our nattonal honor untarnished, and crush out the last vestige 411' this slaveholden: foul rebellion. Res°lred, That it is the duty of every Christian patriot to pray for the President and all that are high in authority: for our soldiers and seamen, and for the sacce>- of our wins: and that he, who in the h o ur fif hi , country's travail stands not up manfully to - vindicate her Cerise, or witholds his suppoft from the government whose fostering care has guaranteed him all 'the rights and immunities of citizenship, is recreant to God and false to the highest principles of truth and justice, and nn worthy the• name of an American citizen., A Runt Hart..—The Richmond Equirrr. of the 24th sa2. s: "During the recent raid of Sher idan, when passing Old Church, fifteen Yankees came suddenly upon D. W. Sly, Wm. Burns and Kendall, who' were en route from Richmond to the Potomac river. They were completely and thoroughly stripped of all their trunks, contain ing valuables to a large amount. D. W. Sly. had, it is said. four hundred dollars in gold, eight hun dred dollars in silver, and thirty tiunisand dollars en Confederate money. Witham Burns, wen known in'this city, Jun/ rive thousand dollars in gold, twenty three hithdreti pounds sterling. and diamonds valued at eight hundred and fifty thous and dollars in Confederite currency. Kendall had also a considerable amount of money and valuables. We have learned nothing of the fate of the unfortunates sleep captured, or their prob able destination." There is a meral in the afore said. Burns is a well known " sport," east of Baltimore, a dashing politician of the old Define cratie partY. and a hand-and-glove companion of the young bloods of that town. He went to Rich mond early, played his hand, used his best cards, gut his "'pile," and wad running away from what is now nothing more than a ruined faro bank (the rebellion) when caught by Phil Sheridan. - HOUSEKEEPING Ricll 34 ft The Rich mond Sentinel, of the 23d, mentions a sale of rose wood chamber furniture, consisting of six pieces, ‘ - itr the trifling sum'of sixteen thousand. nine him dres,,Lilolldrs. It is not stated Whether the furni turAi:as new or second-hand, but as it was sold at auction, t was probably the latter. At this rate, we suppose it .costs two or three hundred thousand dollars to go to housekeeping in that part of the world, and a`young couple cannot pos sibly worry along on less than two hundred thin sand per annum, for their ordinary expenses. Peo ple who groan over the cost of living in the North, and people who are frightened at the daily expen ses of the" FederalGoverment; should take corn tit-r-f from the consideration that Riehmond alone spends upon mere matters of bread and butter and rosewood furnitnre,:to say nothing of military expenditures,at least a million a dal. To be sure this million of dollars only represents about six teen thousand dollars in gold, which may make sonic difference, and this difference will grow day by day, until, by the time our armies occupy Rich mond, it will take all the shinplasters in that ill 'starred city to pliy mthafiling that. sixteen thou sand dollar set of rOMOOOd furniture to the next place of safety.

Well, the southern cor respondent of the London Times, writing from Charleston, on Jan. 11,1665, says of that eit3 : Tan told that in the height of summer, when the grass in the streets afforded pasturage to man) andering mug, and the wild fennel shot up eight or ten 1144 high, turning the city into the semblance of a jungl. l ; the sense of desolation and ruin was far more painfully felt: Already the hen partridge has been- found nestling With her brood among the ennobling ruins. Already the owl has been heard to hoot by night from the spires of the demolished churches.' A CAT DENTIST.—A true tale is told of Mr. Slipheimer, the famous ' Saxon dentist. He bad famous tortoise-shell cat, that for days did noth ing but moan. Guessing . the cause, he looked in to his month, and swing a decayed - tooth, he soon relieved it of its pain. The following morn ing there were at least ten cats at his door; the day after, twenty; and they went on increasing at such a rate that he was obliged to keep a bull dog to keep them away. A cat that had the toothache would come a number of miles to see him. It would come down the chime) even, and would not leave the room 'till he had taken its tooth out. It grew to be such a nuisance at last that he never was free from rote of these feline patients. However, being one morning very ner vous, he accidently broke the jaw of an old tabby. The news of this soon spread like wild-lire. Not a single cat ever came to him afterward This is related as true. Do you doubt it 1 Ofeourse not. • THE CAMELS ARE COMM.—The "Overland Camel Company," it is announced, is rapidly cam ,pleting its preparations for business.

A eating will carry a thousand ptiunds tuab,travel fifty miles a day for thirty days in succession. Of course, v.ith proper relays, the speed can be greatly increased.

The dividend declared is one per cent. On the par value of 115 per chare, making two . and a half per cent on the prlee paid for the stock at original rates.' The stocklioldera in Chambers burg 'and viciniti* can secure their dividends kern & stoner on and after the 15th, by pre senting their certificates at this office. It is the purpose of the company, we karn, to declare there dividends quarterly. As usual the apprehension that money would be very tight here on the let of April made every one help to tighten up the market by holding on very pertinaciously to all they had; but the Bank of Chanibersburg closed the day, after an unpre eedented amount of -I tinusactions, with more mo ney than when it opened iu the morning. This fact proVed that notwithstanding the excessive drain made upon,our people for substitutes, they still had more than enough of money left for all the necessary tranisTtions, of the' let. Some disappointments were experienced as usual, but not many, and they were generally of unimport ant amounts. Lill few days people will get to ,understand that there is no scarcity of money,and they will then make it abundant by ceasing to hold whatthey have. There is now no necessity for any stringency in monetary affairs in this sec tion. The Bank is much more restricted under the Natiqnal law, and its capacity may be exhaus ted for some time to come; but the people have money plenty and they should put it into circula tion at once. The stock market was so unsettled by the army uews.that there 3vere hat few transactions.

The eecti ions f 0130148; •• That Hereafter all persons mustered into the military or naval service, whether ns volunteere. substitutes, rep resent - nth es, or otheruise. Fhall be credited to the State,' and to the ward, township, precinct, or other enrolment sub-district were such persons beloug by actual residence, (if such persons have an actual residence within the Uni ted States') and where such persons wereer shall be en rolled. (if liable to enrolment); and it is hereby made the duty of the Provost Marshal General to make such rules aril give such instructions to the several Provost Mar shals, Boards of Enrolment, and 3tuolering Officers, as shall be necessary for the faithful enforcement of the pro visions of this_section, to the end that fair and just cmdit shall be given to every section of the country Prorided, That in any call, fur troops, hereafter, no county, town, township, ward. precinct, or election district, shall have credit except for men actually furnished on said call, or the preceding call, by said county. town, township. ward, - preeinct, or election district, and mustered into the milUa ry, nr naval service on the quota thereof." - The t.lith section makes the Act take effect front and after its passage. The 14th section ftrrnishes the rule by which. men. when 'l,lloe:red into the military et naval service, are to be cred ited to the various localities from - which they may come. The 15th section furnishes the rule by which credits are to be given when computing for the quotas of the various draft districts. Bat the 15th section has a proviso which expressly proltibite the apPlication ofAie rale therein nu to the pending draft.. From the fact that there is no such proviso to the 14th section, it wonld seem that It was intended credits should be given rhen mattering in under the pendink-calL But the 14th section has a proviso, the peenliar Language of which would, ut first blush, seem to favor the idea that Congress intended that the rule in that section prescribed should be future to the pending colt, and - not future to the passage of the Act. That proviso declares that credit shall not be given. except for men actually furnished on said rail or toe prtceding call. The manifest purpose of the -proviso Is to Bruit the time within n hich a credit may be demanded. This section must be reatarded as taking effect from the passage of the Act, unless such a construction isinconsist• t kith. or forbidden by, other parts of the Act. As a stilted in my Opinion to you 4)f the 13th March, it appears from the face of thls Act that, ut the time It was toured, there was a pending Stall under a call fqr troops in December,lB64, and it is carefully provided that no thing in the Act shall operate to postpone the pending draft, or interfere with the quotrutassigned therefor. Now, the rule for giving credits, at the tins of mustering in, will not the present draft or tutor:are with the qUOMiI ramped therefor, It seems to me that there mouthing in the Act that pre vents the application of the -14th sectio n to the present draft, unlett it may be the proviso thereto, It wan iptero dal by that proviso simply to limit the time within which credits might be claimed, and nut topattpatteltwaPPli ation of the rule °Tomtits, when metering-134" ; future Letigl.o Mlh..
