very active at the Provost Marshal's office during
- the last kw weeks. In tfie month of March Capt
Eyster forwarded to the front 1,018 men from

: no bounty jumpers among them. Of the 1018

W
andaren marked with a dagger (t) have been
drafted to fill their quotas, but the 'drafted men
had not reported. Some of them reported yester
day. The other districts-have been drafted and
tht.ir quotas are nearly or quite Thew has
been no supplemental, draft in any of flit! districts
of this county,. and it is pribable that none W ill
be necessary, as Antrim, Fannett. Hamilton, Lur

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. Their bodies have - been found and
umnic
takablerecognized. They were completely dress
ed, which proCee that they had made some effort
to get beyond the fiery flood. 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." The bollies were placed
in the dead house of Ronalldsoiii Cemetery, and
subsequently interred. The Republican does not
state how many the family consisted of or their
names.

THE PATIFNCE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN:A
Washington correspondent of the Methodist gives
us a gliinpse of Old Abe's dealings with the und
titudinons Oahus of soarallad loyal men, from
Georgia, that are every day pressed upon his at
tention. quote:
"We do not mean to say that the President's
patience never yields.' In oIIP instance cti e enter
ed his office arid found him in close and loud con
versatipnwith a gentleman from a certain portion
of reclaimed southern territory. The visitor pro
fessed to be a southern loyalist, and wanted cer
tain papers signed by the President, making good
great damage indicted upon him by the war.
The claimant urged his claims in soft. timid
tones, and the President answered in a waLuite
the reverse. He was not pleased. Why, this
paper does not say you are entitled to the money."
..`.No Fir. but it recommends my claim to your con
sideration." "lint, air, you do not prme your
claim." "We are loyal, Fir." "Yes sir, and so
are the men who stand up in front of ,flichmond
to be shot at, but they do not come here to plague
me." "We do not wish to worry you, Mr. Pres
ident." I know what you want—you are
turning, or trying to turn one into &justice of the
peace, to put your claims through. There ale a
hundred thousand men in the country; every one
of them as good as you are, who have just such
bills as you present; and j an care nothing of what
heroines of them so you get your money." "We
think our claim just, Mr. President." "Yes, but
you know you cannot prove what is in this paper
by all the people in the )(jolted States, and you
want me to prove it for too he wiitiug my name
on the back of it: yes, in plain words you wish
nit' to lie for you that you may get yojir money.
I shall not do it." The visitor stands a moment,
us if dizzy and undecided; and gathering up slow
ly retires to digest his repulse as best Le {nays'
PATRIOTIC.—The religiens Society known as
the "Menonites," at their annual Conference held
at GermantOWn, March 6th and 7th,-passed a se
ries of resolutions sustaining the government in
its efforts to crush the present wicked rebellion.
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.
Regokid, That' the present war is a struggle
between truth and error, right and wrong, free
dom and bondage.
. .
Resolrtd, Thlt we have unfaltering confidence
in the Chief Executive if our nation; in t i lic ho
nest ptirpos.es of his heart; in his fidelity to God
and the best interestsof the whole people, and to
the sublime principles of freedom and justice the
wide world over.
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. "
CURSES WMIEH- CAME HOME TO ROOST.—
Ever) hody remembers the prophecies of the Char
testomans iu Is l 6o-1, that, if thiNorth should at
tempt to resist the will of South Carolina. the
4ass would grow in the streets of New York. and
elms would be pastured in Broadway. The tire
eaters spoke With careless glee of this utter ruin
and desolation, NI Well they intended to bring upon
the people of the North. 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. They pro
jt carrying the great Oyerland mails, and also
the local mails on side routes. Omaha is named
as the starting point on the Missouri, and Sacra
mento the Pacific terminus. 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. It is
said they will endure more hardships and adapt
themselves to the climate more readily than either
the horse or mule. Mr. Mandl, long IT nited.
States Minister at Constantnople, and well known
as ono of_our best scholars and most celebrated

Our readers will notice that subscriptions to

_eontinued in the

CeAS of tlaSie Peoples Loans is one of the won

seek to borrow in foreign markets; it offers no
premiums tiLlminkvrs, but appeals directly' to the
people, and ei itb what success is sufficiently,
shim a by the fact that duiing forty-three days
they subscribe d and paid the cash down for out
hundred and siarone million (Mari of the 7-30
Loan. There can be no stronger evidenc'e'of
public confidence in Government , securities.—
While nearly all 'other stocks have gone down
from twenty to fifty, and even a greater per
cent. within a few weeks, all forms of C. S. bonds
and stocks have remained, firm except the slight
fluctuations that are incident to all rapid changes
in the money market. • Our readers will remem
ber that the subscribers to the 7-30 Lin recdive
semi-annual interest at the rate of aefen and
three-tenths per cent. per annum in ctirreney.
and at the end of three years from June 15,th,
IF , C6, they will have the option of receiving pay
ment in full, or converting their notes into a 5-20
six per cent. gold interest bond. Thf. , late great
decline in the premium on god makes these notes
more desiralde than ever as an investment, and it
should not be forgotten that their exemptiiin
from state or municipal taxation adds largely to,
their yalue. There . is no interruption in the

at 145. The suceess of Grant u;i+so confidently
expected, that fife decline of gold was " discount

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

OPINION.
ArromEr GEXEIut.:I4 - - omcE, March 24, 1865.
Stu: your letter of the - 2'd 'inst., you ask whether
the 14th section of the Act approved 3d; March. IEIIS, enti
tled " An Act to amend the several Acts heretofore pass
ed to provide for the enrolling and calling - out die nation
al forces, and for other purrieses." applicable - to the call
for troops" made by the President 19th Deeenther. 1861.
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
