JBaCThe fifth of >Sept. is the time fil ed for the draft to take place ; districts wishing to avoid its unpleasant effects, should move at once. It is certainly much more agreeable for those who can conveniently leave home, to volunteer, by this means they can secure both local and Government bounty. Election lt«'liirnn.

EDITORS: —Vour paper of July 20th. was put into my hands yester day, and my attention directed to an arti cle purporting to be a " report" of the Adams township Sanitary Committee. I feel constrained to say in self-defense, that there are things stated in that article which arc not in strict accordance with the facts. When "my son Thos. Mar shall," came to my house with a letter from his father, I told him that I had not time to attend to it, and wanted him to take the paper to Mr. Jacob Stoup. This he refused to do. and left with the matter standing in this way. Then a week or two after, a list of Collectors appointed by Mr. .Samuel Marshall, was published in the papers, and my name was not in the list, and vety naturally 1 came to the conclusion lie had given the appointment to some one else. 41 And to #asc the conscience of the cx- Ilon. Judge, 1 would hereby inform him that T did not collect, nor even give one <eent to the Sanitary Fair, and for the rea son that I did not believe «t to be the right way of giving to that, or any other object. But if I had thought different ly, and my duties as a Minister of the Gospel, had allowed me to engage in the Fair business, and act in the way marked out by the Chairman, there would not one dollar, no not a single cent, have ev er gone his way, because 1 feel inclined to doubt both the loyalty and safety of a man who at one time appeared before a church court to aid and ah it Secession and pro-slavery ism; and at another time left the church and congregation of which lic was an inconsistent member, because the aged pastor felt it to be his duty to disobey fcu commands, and obey that of fais Master, and preach and pray against Slavery, treason and rebellion, both at fromc and abroad, aod also to pray for the success of our ar<uv and navy and for the epecdy deliverence of the oppressed. And if the Judge sfill please employ hi* spare moments in extricating himself from the bundle of inconsistencies into which he has wound himself, be will have as much as will keephiui busy uutil the war is over, without trying to bring him self and others into difficulty by misrepre sentation. 1!.

We give in another column of to-day'i paper a letter'rom Harrisburg, giving th( . plans and policy of the 1 temoc ratio lead i ere on the questions of allowing our sol diers to vote, and of filling up our armie: under the last call of the President. Thi writer is well informed on tho subjects hi ' treats, andhis statements maybe trusted. • The Democratic leaders despair of do feating the extension of suffrage to oui soldiers, because the thousands of hones' and patriotic men of that party, who art misled by the charm of Democracy int. tho embrace of the foes of the govern ment, would openly and manfully revoll should they avow their hostility to the soldiers voting. Therefore they must be silent; they must conceal their hatred tr our brave armies and the cause for which they are periling their lives, and operate only by stealth and treachery to procure votes against the proposition. They will not succeed, however, for the loyal men of the State, of both parties, will, on Tuesday next, confer these just civil rights upon our brave men in the field. Tho developments made by our corres pondent. touching the position of* the Dem ocratic leaders 011 the increase of our ar mies, would be appalling, indeed, wore not tho treacherous proclivities of those politicians well known. They will not volunteer, or be drafted. Union men may ! enlist with" their approbation; but Demo crats must stay at home to aid in dcfcat -1 ing the enforcement of the draft I This is the last desperate effort of the j allies of traitors in the North. Well do j they know that the rc-iufbrccment of our heroes in tho field will bring the war to a I speedy close, without the fearful sacrifices which must ever attenil offensive move ments unless the military force is over whelming; and if' tho war is ended and I treason driven into submission and shame, the hope of Democratic success at'the next election is at an end. To give tho Dem ocratic party a victory, and enable it to I break the fall of traitors by disgraceful diplomacy, tliey deliberate!} - resolve to exhaust themselves to give success to the | rebels "in the field. They frankly confess I that in the defeat and sacrifice of tho j Union armies alone is their hope of Dem- I ocratic success at the next election. let loyal men of all parties ponder well tlieir painful truths. Let but the perfidy [ of theso leaders be made known to the j people, ami tens of thousands will revolt and array themselves in the ranks of the j I'nion party. Wo welcome the Democrat ic leaders to their work of treason. Let j them unfold their treachery, as tlie-y soon must, and the People will rise in their majesty and sweep into utter shame, tho tricksters who would build a partisan vic tory upon the triumph of our country's I locs. Cliamberisljurg Hrpositori/. W uo iliuiiilerril nl PetvrwlMirg? The failure of the recent attack on Petersburg is to bo investigated by a Court of Inquiry, of which Gen. Ilaneock will be the President. In all the movements of the army of the Potomac Gey. Grant plans, and Gen. Meade makes tli£ dispositions, per fects the arrangements, anil under [ advertisement carries the plans out. ; In this case, it is openly said, he fail ed in his arrangements in not giving the proper orders, anil, in the expres sive parlance of the ring elid not " eome to time." It is said, also that a jealousy which has existed between certain general officers, cropped out, and that in consequence of it a cer tain important order was not trans mitted to the officer for whom it was intended. General Meade as tho ex utive officer of the army, is made to bear the principal share of the blame; but the Inquiry will settle whether justly or unjustly. (Should tho re sult be against him, a charge in the eommanil of the Army of the Poto mac will doubtless take place, though we apprehend that Gen. Grant will make a change only after the neces sity has been clearly shown. There are thoSe who lodge the blame with Gen Burnsiele, and we are prepared to hear that another distinguished officer, not yet named in tlie connection, is also made to bear a share of the blame. To the ediang es likely to result from the Inquiry into the question of failure, Ave sup ipose the correspondent in our last alluded, when he remarked that the •repines "will work a radical change in the aspect of military affairs in Virginia." All accounts agree, however, in saying that beyond the disappointment occasioned,' tho fail ure is of no sejjous importance. The plan was perfect in itself and the mis carriage was an incident from which no army or cause can expect always to be exempt.— Pittt. Commercial'. Tlie Sons of Liberty. The papers ol Indiana publish thp re port of Gen. Carringtou to Gov. Morton, exposing the Order which first became notorious uneler the name of K. G. C. (Knights of the Golden Circle), then as sume that of O. A. K. (Orderof Ameri can Knights), and has la'terly been work ing under the name of the S. of L. (Sons ol Liberty). The report of Gen. Car rington contains a brief and "Systematic summary of what the official elocumeiffc of tho Order *how to be its Nature, its Principles, Exteut, Officers, Operations, and Purposes. These dociitnentVare pub lished. together with the Report, and cv cry-truth-seeking reader, to whatever par ty he belong, can at onco satisfy himself whether Gen. Carrington has rightly understood tho language of the documents or not. The most prominent doctrine of the Order is that tho United States have no sovereignty, that every State has a right to sfeede from the I'nion. that if the Government of the United States claims any power inconsistent with the extre mcst theory of State Rights it is-a usur per. and true patriots have not only tho right but the duty to labor for its over throw. The Order, of course, claims the right to oppose the draft anil the payment of taxef for the continuation of the war. It also appears that it lias its own army, j which tho Commander-in-Chief may call • into active service. - The pDesent.Colll - inander-in-Chief ia said to be"C. L. Val ■ landigham. 1 That there aro Copperheads sufficiently > venomous in their hatred to the Govern ! ment of the United States to'advocate all r that is set forth as tho principles of the Order, including tin almost direct appeal . to arms whenever a fit opportunity shall • offer, does not admit of any doubt. The t most virulent Copperhead papers of the ■ West elo not deuy the authenticity of tho i published documents; ou the contrary, they [dead that every American has tho : right to join an Order having the prinei s pies of the' Sousof Liberty. 11 All the ■ affair amounts to, from tho proofs preseut -1 ed, is," snys The Jiuh'anapolit Sentinel, "thatcertain personshavejbanded togeth ! er to maintain certain political doctrines ■ subordinate to the Constitution." ! According to the report of the "Grand Secretary" of the Order, there were, in February, 1801, in In diana about 12,000 members and the organization was at work in the States of New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsyl vania, New-Hampshire, Conneticut, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Deleware, Maryland, and Missouri. If all the documents that have been published are correct, it is certain that a number of States have in their miilst associations of men who are solemnly bound to rise, on a fit oppor tunity, for the dissolution of the . Union and fur.forming a new Confed eracy of sovereign States. With re gard to their avowed intention to com mit treason, the Governmet has a 1 great respomJJlitv resting upon it. | Its action ougnt to be prompt, un | daunted, and decisive. The Liberty, if there is any loyalty left in the Democratic ■ party, must soon prove a wedge for the dissolution of that party. These who have professed opposition to the principle of Secession will soon have j to prove whether they can go hand i in hand with avowed Secessionists or not.

Tliese Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress of March Bth, 1864, which provides that all Bonds Isirued un der this Act shall bo EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under any state "or municipal authority. Subscriptions to the*® Bonds are receivod In United State* notes or notes of National Batiks. They are TO BK RRDHEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any pe riod not less than ten nor mors than forty ymrs !rom their date, and until their redemption FITS PER CENT. IN TER RST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually and on other Bonds semi-annually. The Interest Is payable on the first days of March and September In ervh year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are record ed Bti the books of the C. 8. Treasurer, and can be trans ferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payablu to boerer, and are more convenient for commer cial uses. Subscribers to this loan will hare the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying tho accrued Interest In coin—{or In United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty por cent. f>r premium,) or recelvo them drawing Interest ftom the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds are Exempt from Municipal or State Titration, their value Is Increased from one to three per cont. per an num, according to tho rato of tax lovles In various porta of the country. At tho present rate of premium on gold they pay Over Clglit Per Cent Interest In currency, and ore of equal convenience as a perma nent or temporary Investment. It Is believed that no securities offer so great Induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. 8. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communi ties only Is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property oftho country Is holdon to securo the payment of both prluclpal and In terest In coin: These Bond J may bo tubsfflhed for In sums from SSO p to any magnitude, on tho same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the ' largest capitalist. They can be converted Into money at I any moment, anil the holder will have tho benefit of the | interest. | It may bo useful to stato in this connection that the J total Funded Debt of the United States on which Inter- I est Is payable In gold, oa tho 3d day of March, 1864, was $768,9C5,000. The interest on this debt for tho coming flea! year will be 545,937,120, while the customs revenue in gold f»r the current fiscal year, ouding Juno 80th, 186-1, lias been 90 far at a rate of over 00,C00,000 per annum. It will bo seen that even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in excess of the wants of tho Treasurer for tho payment of gold interest, while the re cent Increase of the tariff will doubtless raise tho annual receipts from customs on tho same amount of Hons, to $150,000,300 per annum. Instructions to the National Banks uctlug as loan agents were not Issued from the United State Treasury until March 20, but in the first threo weeks of April the sub scriptions averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK. Subscriptions will berecelved by tho First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Second National Bank of Philadelphia, I'a. Third National Rank of Philadelphia, Pa. And by all National linnht which are depositaries of Public money, and all RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKF.RS ' throughout the country, (acting as agents of the Nation al Depositary Banks.) will furnish further information on application and AFFORD EVERY FACILITY TO SUBSCRIBERS. 18.
