And now . "The maid who Linda her warrior's sash, With smile that well her pain dissembles, The while beneath the drooping la3h One starry tear-drop bangs and trembles, Though Heaven alone records the tear, And fame shall never know Ler story, Her heart has shed a drop us dear As ever dewed the field of glory. The wife who girds the husband's eword, 'Jftd little ones who we-cp for wonder, And bravely speaks the cheering word. What though her heart be rent asunder Doomed uightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of war around him rattle, Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the ficlls ot battle ! The mother who conceals her grief, While on ber breast her son the presses, Then breathes a few brave words and brief, Kiising the patriot brow she blesses, "With no one but her secret Clod, To know the paia that weighs upon her, Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on freedom's field of honor." While "Miss Secesaia," North and South, is the most bitter ioe of tho Gov ernment, we would have the loyal women the most devoted. Let her irowu down that vile brood of Southern sympathizers whoso "Shibboleth" is, "tho Uniou as it was," and impudently declare "you can never conquer the youth." Their hiss betrays the serpent in the grass, and their poisonous breath is decidedly copperish. Make society too hot for them, until they are forced to elink away to their dens of infamy, or fly "beyond the lines." Away with that rattle-jointed "peace" party whoso craven hearts would alio. them to purchase "peace on-any-terms," at the price of shame and dishonor ! Yes, let us have peace, but "pray God it may come in the shape of a white-winded angel, and uot in the form of a white-faced slave chained uuder the bloody feet of an aris tocratio Rebellion." When wo have driven the last rebel to the wall, and conquered an honorablo peace, then may we chant the funeral dirgo : "The piece of a party called the party of peace, Like everything elso that deceases, Has gone where tho wicked from troubling cease, And tho party of peace is in pieces." Then, too, we would have every fibre of the patriotic woman's heart abhor the "execrable sum of all villainies," which is the "origin and mainspring of the rebel lion." This is the high-handed crime which has wrapped around thi." nation the grave clothes ot putrefaction, and tempted the pulpit witlftho devil of silence I And this is the incarnate fiend which .has driven myriads of yoked, scourged, and handcuffed "human cattle:" in the person of sable sons and tawny daughters, to the shambles, and this is the insatiate monster which is now immolating our brothers on the fields of blood. But in the boundless universe there beats the heart of an awful God, who is about to shiver the sceptre of this great American Dagon forever. We have failed to "proclaim liberty," but the instruments are now being tuned to sing an eternal Jubilee ! To the loyal women of the North would we commit tho weaving of tho w'arp and woof of the winding sheet of slavery, and the wedding garment of Union and Liber ty "one and inseparable." Then let them sound tho bugle-call for this Last Charge, and as the trusty warriors "rally from the hill-side and gather from tho plain," let this be their ."Battle-cry of Freedom," to cheer them on to victory. "Now, men of the North ! wi'l you join in the strife For country, for freedom, for honor, for life ? The giant growa blind hi his fury and spite One blow in his forehead will settle the fight 1 Flash full in his eyes the blue lightning of eteel, And stun him with cannot' bolts, peal upon peal I Mount, troopers, and follow your game to its lair, As the hound tracks the wolf, and the beagle the hare I Blow, trumpets, your Eummons, till sluggards awake !

About tho Draft. Through the dittinguished effeftts of the joint committee of the State Legis lature appointed to confer with the War Department with reference to tho quota of Pennsylvania under the approach ing draft, tho excessive quota of 6G,999 assigned the State has been set aside, and the Provost Marshal General gives notice that a new and lighter quota will be as signed her forthwith. This is gratifying, but no more gratifying than just. We havo Governor Curtin's word for it that during the year 1SG4, no less than 91,70-1 soldiers from Pennsylvania entered the U. S. service, and that since the war broke out, 330,444 Pennsylvaniana have es poused the cause ot Union and Freedom. It is customary, we know, to "whip tho horse that pulls the most," but to thrash Pennsylvania, after all she has done, to tho extent of requiring her to furnish nearly one-fourth of all the men called for under the draft, is rather running the thing into the ground. Retter at once give Pennsylvania the contract of putting down the rebellion. Besides the burden attaching to that undeitaking, she would then have the honor resulting in its ac complishment. That wonderfully celebrated individual, Provoot Marshal General Fry, who has committed more Dlunders probably einco his accession to tho position he holds than any man eince the days of the origi nal Adam, on the 2d inst., issued an order stating that quotas assigned districts and sub-districts under the late call "must not bo reduced except by actual enlistment in the army, navy, and marine corps since tho 19th .December ." In other words, that credits for excess of volunteers under previous calls would not be allowed on the present call. When we state that Ebens burg has now an excess of six men over all former quotas, costing in tho neighbor hood of 2,000, it will readily bo seen how urjust and burdensome is that decision which thus seeks to rob us of the fruits of our eminent loyalty and patriotism. Such a decision, in effect, were to break faith with the good and true people of tho na tion, and to offer a premium on apathy and half-heartcdness. We now havo tho assurance that this order will be revoked, and that credits will be allowed for all ex cess of volunteers existing prior to 19th December. We cannot resist the temptation of say ing here, that the unwillingness to volun teer apparent everywhere throughout the country is the legitimate result of the official vaticinations of Provost Marshal General Fry, Ilia decisions touching thi3 and other drafts have been multifa rious and complicated, oppressive and un just, absurd and illogical. They seem to be governed neither by common sense nor honesty of purpose. His rulings are the wonder of the common herd, and the laughing-stock of tho intelligent. That they are worthy of this distinction i3 evi dent from the fact that each separate de cision can never stand the test of more than two weeks' time before the force of public opinion necessitates its reversal. It is owing to this reason to the reason that tho people are unwilling to be hood winked and humbugged by a vapid, flighty, weatbertock official that apathy prevails with respect to tho filling of the quota. Put in another man as Provost Marshal a man distinguished for the possession of qualities exactly the reverse of those characterizing the present incum bent and the state of affairs will be grat ify ingly different. The terms of the President's proclama tion set forth that tho call for 300,000 more men is made to provide 'for an el leged "deficiency" of 250,000 men existing under the drat: for 500,000 men ordered July 18, 1804. From this, the inference is taken that no draft will be had in such districts as filled their quotas under the aforesaid call of July 18, 18G4. This appears to be a mistake. We are told by thoio who Jay claim to superior knowledge on the tubjeef that no such interpretation is given the call at Provost Marshal Gen eral headquarter?, but, cn the contrary, that each and every district will be requi red to furnish its exact proportion of the 300,000 men. "This looks to u3 unjust. If, as the President asserts, a deficiency of 250?000 men exists under a former call, and this draft is ordered to make up that deficiency, why not require those districts which are in arrears to the general Gov ernment to toe the mark, and tlicn pro portion any remaining deficiency under this call among the districts at large Y That would be the fair way to do it. Something less than a inoTith remains wherein to put in our quotas. The draft will come off as per announcement, with out fail be assured of that fact. If any thing i3 to be done, thereforcy'twere well 'twere done quickly. The quotas of the various districts cannot be known for some days, but it will be a reasonable approxi mation to the truth to say that the quotas now will be at least as great as they were uuder the 500,000 call. Removal ot Gen. BJutler. At tho instigation of Lieut.-Gen. Grant, Maj.-Gen. B. F. Butler has been relieved of the command of the Armv of the James, and ordered to report at Lowell, Mass., his place of residence. Like M'Clellan, who was ordered after his relieval from com mand of tho Army of tho Potomac to re port at hia homo in New Jersey, he is thus practically exiled. The reasons given for this certainly unlooked-for procedure are, first, disobedience of orders, more partio ularly with reference to the Wilmington expedition, the failure of which is mainly attributed to Butler's refusal to obey pos itive instructions; and, second, general incompetency. Gen. Butler has been or dered to appear before a Court Martial at Washington city forthwith, to undergo an official investigation of his conduct, until which has been concluded, there should be a suspension of public opinion. The removal ot Gen. Butler is a step which pleases a few, and displeases many. Thcro must hava existed good apparent grounds lor it, otherwise tho authorities would not have ventured upou the decapita tion of a General who has been more promi nent and popular ever since the war began, and who his performed moro and varied duties, than any other man in the volan tetr service. But we shall see what we shall see. ' Gen. Ord Is Gen. Butler's successor. The following is the retiring General's farewell order to his troops: Hdqbs. Dept. of Virginia and North Carolina, Aemi or the James, Jan. 8, 18C5. Soldiers of tha Army of the James: Your Commander, relieved by order of the Presi dent, takes leave of yoa. Your conduct in the field has extorted praises from tho unwil ling; you have endured the privations ol the camp and the march without a murmur ; you have never failed to attack when ordered ; you have stormed and carried works deemed im pregnable by the enemy ; you have shown the positions to bo so by holding them against his fiercest assaults in the attempt to retake them. Those skilled in war havo marveled at tho obstacles overcome by your valor. Your line of works ha3 excited tho wonder of the offi cers of other nations, who have come to learn defensive warfare from the monuments of your skilled labor. Your deeds have rendered your name illustrious. In after time3 your General's proudest memory will be to any with you, "I, too, was of the Army of the James." To share such companionship is pleasure. To participate in such acts is honor. To have commanded such an army is glory. No one could yield it without regret. Know ing your willing obedience to orders, witness ing your ready devotion of your blood in your country's cause, I have been chary of the precious charge confided to me; I have refused to order useless sacrifices of the lives of such soldiers, and I am relieved from your command. The wasted blood of my men does not stain my garments. For my action I am responsible to God and my country. To f Colored Troops of ths Army of the James; In this army you have been treated not a3 laborers, but as soldiers. You have shown yourselves worthy of the uniform you wear. The best officers in the Unicn seek to commarrd you. Your bravery ha3 now the admiration even of those who would be your masters. Your patriotism, fidelity, and cour age have illustrated the best qualities of manhr ... With tho bayonet you have un loc. i the iron-barred gates of prejudice, opening new fields of freedom, liberty and equality of rights to yourselves and your race forever. Comrades of the Army of the James, I bid you farewell, farewell. Benj. F. Butler, Maj.-Gen. Tiie Peace Rumors. For the past ten days, the very air has boen impregnated with peaco rumors. The essence ot these flying reports and predic tions is about this: lion. Francis P. Blair, Sr., duly armed and equipped with the necessary permits, both Federal and rebel, has gone to Richmond. The object of his visit is left somewhat in the dark. It is ostensibly given out to be, to regain some important papers belonging to him; but the masses of the people greedily seize on the readiness with which he was pro vided with passes from our lines into tho other, as evidence that he goes empowered to break the ice with regard to peace negotiations. The hypothesis upon which this conclusion is arrived at consists in the wide-spread belief that the people of the South, if not Jeff. Davi., are ready and willing to return to their allegiance to the Union on the most available terms, and that they have so notified, the general government. " Mr. Blair is now in Rich mond. If his mission is one of peace, we shall speedily know the result; if it i3 of a private character, we shall also soon know that. Simultaneous with Mr. Blair's essay, we also hear that several reht I commissioners are on their way to Y'aQiQSton t0 ascer" tain upon what terms a reconstruction of the Union can be brought about.. Of one thinsr there can be no doubt the people would gladly welcome the ap proach of an honorable peace. They therefore await with impatience the result cf these presumed negotiations looking to the exorcism of the red-handed Demon of War. Our opinion as to tho matter is, that, so'long as Jeff. Davis continues at the head of the rebel government, these and any similar . attempts at peace will prove abortive. Ho has committed him self beyond recall to the cause of Secession and treason, and must necessarily "fight it out on that line." Wo hope we may be mistaken, but we adhere to the belief that our brave soldiers in the field are the only commissioners whoso negotiations, at the point of the bayonet, can possibly result in peace. . . Report of lb State Treasurer. The annual report of the State Treasu rer of Pennsylvania is an ably-written document, and exhibits in a most favora ble light the financial condition of the Commonwealth. We have deemed it un necessary to publish it, by reason that the Governor's Message gave in abstract the essential facta 'set forth in detail by it. The Treasurer indulges in a variety of eminently statesmanlike views and sug gestxona, and felicitates the people upon the immeasurable wealth, power and re sources of our glorious old Commonwealth. There is one portion of tho report which is attracting wide-spread attention. We allude to tho correspondence between Sir Henry Holland, a British holder of Penn sylvania securities, and the State Treasu rer, touching the que?tioa of the payment of the interest of the State debt. Mr. Holland thinks this interest should be paid in coin or its equivalent, and argues that a contrary course were to "repudiate" tho obligations of " the State, whereas the Legislature, in June, 1864, provided for the payment thereof in United States legal tender notes. The reply of the Treasurer to this representative of pcrfide Albion is so frank, just, and altogether warranted by the facts of the case, that we subjoin herewith the correspondence entire : FROM EIR n. HOLLAS D, BART. Losdox, Nov. 16, 18&4. To the Treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania: Sin: I trust I shall not be considered as taking an unwarrantable step in rcspoct fully addressing to you, and through you to the Governor and Legislature of Peun sylvania, my earnest protest against, the act of the Pennsylvania Legislature of the 3d of May last, repealing the guarantee given to the holders of Pennsylvania State stock, by tho act of June, 1840, for the payment of their interest in epecie. My own frequent visits to Pennsylvania and intimacy with many of tho wosf emi nent men there, had led me to make large investments in the public stocks of the State, feeling the saiuo confidence in this security and in the acts of the Pennsylva nia Legislature as I felt in tho public securities of England. 'This confidence, moreover, I communi cated to various friends, who were led by rjy suggestion to similar investments, and who now find cause to reproach me for the loss they sustain by this recent act of the Legislature. In their name, and on their behalf I speak as earnestly as on my own in appealing to the wisdom and justice of the Pennsylvania Legislature for tho re consideration and revocation of a measure involving, virtually, a repudiation of the obligations of a State which has hitherto held such high place among the commu nities of the world. I remain, sir, Yours, very respectfully, (Signed) HENRY HOLLAND.' Treasurt Department or Pexxa., IIarrisbcrq, Dec. 15, 18G4. To Sir Iltnrjj Holland, Bart. Si R : I am in receipt this morning of your protest ot 16th November, against the action of the Pennsylvania Legislature iu repealing the act of June, 1840, providing for the payment of our State interest in specie. In order to show you what has been my opinion upon this subject, I herewith transmit to you a copy ot my report to thg Legislature in January, 1863, in which you, will find my earnest appeal to that body in favor of a continuance of the pay ment of our interest in coin. In taking the position I did at that time, I had iu view the claims of our forcljn bond holders as well as domestic creditors, and the action of the Legislature that year was in accordance with my rec ommendation, and tho payment of our interest was continued in coin, notwith standing it involved a large additional outlay and expense upou our people. . The Legislature last year saw fit to alter that policy, and our interest is now paid in United States notes. This action of our Legislature was in- ! duced by the extraordinary circumstances in which the nation was placed, and I am free to give it as my opin'.on, that, altho the United States have made their notes a legal tender in all transactions, and we have no State revenue in coin to meet our interest, that our justification in a depar ture from paying it in coin can only be found in one of those State necessities which vindicate a nation in temporarily postponing its obligations, iu order to pre serve the power to discharge them at a future day. I am also free to say that my feelings of sympathy for the holders of our securities in your country, have been very much weakened by the action of your people since the expression of my opinion to the Legislature, to which I have called your attention. ...... . , For four years our National Government has been struggling to put down a most wicked and causeless rebellion upon the part of some of tho Stales of this Union, and the enormous expenses incident upon this war in which we have been engaged to preserve tho life of the nation, must be met by the various States of the Union, and the amount of those expenses which has thus been thrown upon the citizens of our State, would have paid the entire amount of our debt more than four times over. . In this struggle we looked for no assis tance whatever from your people or your Government, and desired none; but we did hope and believe, and had a right so to believe, that your pocple and your Govern ment would givo no countenance or assis tance to the rebels who were in arms against our Government and its authority. Iu this we have been disappointed ; and I believe that but for the rrantin? of belli-'-erent rights to the rebels by Great Britain, aud the assistance and countenance which they have received from her people, we should have long sii.ee put down this rebellion, and you would have had do occasion to 'protest" againsc- what you term "a repudiation of the obligations of a State." It is true we have no positive evidence that the holders of our bonds in your country are among thoso who have giveu aid or couutenanc to our enemy; but it is also true that all tho public expressions of sympathy in your country, for our nation iu this its hour of trial, have cotne (with a few noble exceptions,) from that class in your midst who are unable, from their position in life, to own public securities of any kind. We have looked in vain for any cppnly expressed sympathy for our uatiou from that class in your country who represent its wealth and ofSoial position, (with the few exceptions I havo before admitted,) while we do know that ur enemy has received so muoh aid, asaistauce and sym pathy from this class of your people, and protection in many instance from your Government, that it has needlessly pro longed this rebeliioa, and added hundreds of millions to the expeuss necessarily incurred by the States in its suppression, besides largely increasing the bacrifice of life and the sufferings of the people. Whilo I do bot offer theso fucts as an excuse for our Slate for the action she has taken, as she Deed3 no excuse at tuy hands, I do allude to them as reasons shy tha holders of her securities in your country have much less cause for complaiut than they otherwise would have, aud why your protest does not carry that weight and force which, in my opinion, it would possess, did these facts not exiit. Our Legislature will conveuo in a few days, when I will submit your protest for their consideration and action, and altho' they may not yet feci at liberty, in tho present state of public affairs, to re-instate our former policy, yet I trust the time is not far distant when this rebellion shall be crushed out, and it will bo in their power to take suoh action. I remain vourg, respectfully, (Signed) IIENUY 1. MOORE. State Treasurer. A Queer Case. The substance of the subjoined item came to our cars some weeks since, and has been noticed iu a few of our exchanges, but being uuable to ob tain satisfaction as to the reality of the case, we refrained from publishing any thing in relation to it Having recently, however, received a history of the case, we give it a place. It appears that with ono of the companies organized in this place, (for the nine moiAhs service,) in the sum mer of 1862, went a man who left a wife and small family. On the bloody field of Antietam ie fell, was buried, and hia wife afterwards had his body disinterred, bro't home, and reinterred in the soldier's lot in the Cemetery. A year afterwards she married again, and in due time a child was born, the fruit of the second marriage. When the call for 500,000 troops was be ing filled up, last fall, the second husband enlisted, and is now in tho army. A short time since the first husband returned, alive and well, having been taken prisoner at Antietam, instead of being killed. lie had been held by the rebels until tho late exchange at Savannah. Of course the parties are in a queer fix ; but all will agree that the soldier who was once killed, twice buried, starved two years in rebel prisons, and yet came home alive, is certainly entitled to his wife.

In order to secure the assistance and co operation of the people in the endeavor to keep the enrollment list continually correct, the Enrolling Board has been directed to have copie9 of said list kept open to the examina tion of the public at all proper times, and shall give public notice that any person may appear before the Board and have any name stricken jott" the list, if Le can show, to the satisfaction of the Board, that the person named 13 not properlv enrol ed, ou account of 1.

Especially civil officers, clergymen, and all prominent citizens are invited to appear at .'1 time3 before the Board to point out errors in the lists?, and to give such information in their possession a3 may aid in the correction and revision thereof. TITey should understand that it is plainly for the interest of each sub-district to have stricken from the lists all names improperly enrolled, because an excess of names iacrea?es the quota called for from each sub-district ; and that it is equally for the interest of each person enrolled in a given sub-district, to place upon tbb lists all persons in the sub district liable to do military duty, because tbe greater the number to be drawn from, the less the chance that any particular individual will be drawn. It is the personal interest of every enrolled man that the quota iu which he is concerned shall not be made too large, and that his own chances for draft shall not la unjustly increased ; both these objects will be attained if all parties will aid in striking out the wrong names and putting in the right ones. Especially is this the interest of those drafted men who by putting in substitutes themselves liable to draft, have secured ex emption which by the terms of tbe law bold good only until the present enrollment i exhausted in their sub-districts. Men who are over 43 years of age, and in consequence excused by law from the performance of duty in the field, owe it to the cauie and the country to take a zealous and active part m the correction of the enrollment lists, a mili tary service of the first importance. The law requires that the quotas shall be assigned m proportion to the enrollment, and the fairness and justice of this mode of determining tne amount of military service due from each ana every section of the country cannot be doubt ed if the enrollment is made as nearly perfect aa it is practicable to make it. The amount of service due to the nation from every town or cwtinty,' '3 thus laid plainly and fairly be fore the citizens, and it is expected that & higher motive than a selfish interest wm prompt all to do their share in perfecting the enrollment, and securing just and eflicicu execution of the .laws for. raising troops, wherever it becomes necessary to apply theni. order of Mai.
