QUOTAS FILLED. —The borough of But* )er, borough of Kclicnople and Adams 1 township have filled their quoins under i the late call for 500,000 men. PEATTIBY IIANOING.— Joseph Adams, of Cherry township, hung himself on Wednesday, August 10th. The deceased was supposed to be laboring under insan «. C. Ay res, son of - T ohn Ayres: and member of Co. I, 102(1 (old 13th Itect.) has arrived at home ; he was woun- j ded in both legs in one of the late engage- ! ments under Grant. I lis left lug has been amputated above the knee, which is en tirely healed up: the right log is not yet . healed ; but ho is doing well and in fine , spirits; and when fully recovered, intends j entering the Invalid Corps. He is trulj a patriot and brave soldier. He has serv ed his country nobly and faithfully in the time of her trouble and danger, and has \ won the gratitude and respect of his many friends; we hope that he may long live to j enjoy the rich blessings of civil and relig ious liberty—an honor to his parents and j friends. flsey The quiet of our town, was dis- : turbod on Monday, the loth inst., by a ; number of men becoming intoxicated, one ; of whom became intolerable, by interrupt ing peaceable citizens on the street, and ; finally by attempting to twftst a gun from j the hands of a man, quietly passing along 1 the highway. At this juncture, the Iljgh j Constable, as a good officer, arrested him. but while on the way to the jail, a number : of the companions, of the drunken man, i came to his rescue, and before he couhl be secured in the jail, the}- forcibly tore j him from the -officer and a few citizens j whom he had commanded to assist him to ! make the arrest. He was subsequently arrested however by the sheriff aud lodg- | ed in jail during the Jiight. As a citi zen of Butler, wc can but confess our j shame, at being compelled to report such outrageous conduct. The drunkenness it self was outragertus, and the obstructing the officer, while in the line of duty, was if possiblo more so. We feel that our love for the prosperity of the communi ty, our love for the youth, and good citi zens of our town, our love for law and order, demand that we condemn the out landish conduct. We hope the proper offi cers will not fail to deal with themas their crimes deserve. Such occurences are be coming but tOQ common. It is certainly the duty of all order loving men to unite, in order to prevent such scenes in the fu ture. —The rebels have determined tosustain Geueral Hood in his bloody work at At lanta. His army was sixty thousand strong when it crossed the Chattuboochie river in retreat. It has lost one-fourth of its fighting strength since that tii e, hut has been reinforced by a large body of militia; all the forces operating in Mis sissippi, lately under command of Lieu tenant-General Stephen Decatur Lee, and a large portion of General Richard Tay lor's army from the west bank of the Mis sissippi river. This swells Hood's army very considerably, but does not make it edual to that of Gen. Sherman in num bers, and certainly not in moral and roal military strength. Besides, we can re inforce Sherman with fifty thousand vet erans from the departments of Generals Canbey, Rosenerans, and Stoelcs. and re liovc many veterans now holding the railroad from Atlanta to Nashville, with new troops. IVrHonal anil Xew* Items. —lt is understood that Gen.Grantham ordered General Rheridau and General Wright to attack Early at once, and to figlit the rebels where ever they are to be found. —A rebel train of twenty-five or thir ty wagons loaded .with grain, was captur ed by trur forces near Aldie Gap, in Vir ginia on Sunday. No prisoners wore ta ken. —General Grant and staff have retail ed to the army of the Potomac from a visit to the Upper Potomac. Latest re ports from the Shenandoah Valley repre sent the rebels in force south of Winches ter, and it is thought we shall have an engagement with them in that vicinity. —A telegram from Buffalo states that rumors are rife in that city that 'lie reb els and sympathizers in Canada are about to make a raid on that city. It is said that the Government is informed of it. —A Convention of the different Christ ian denominations is called to meet in West Alexander, Washington County, on the 23d inst., at 10 o'clock, a. m., for the purpose especially of discussing the following proposed amendments to the Constitution of the United States , viz : 1. The explicit recognition of the being of God. 2. The meditorial supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ. 3. Tfcc supreme authority of the divine law. 4. To make the Constitution more ex plicitly anti-slavery. In addition to these, tho following top ics were adopted as subjects for discus sion. 5. The duty of national sanctifieation of the Sabbath.

The troops of Maj. , General Hunter's command, temporarily assigned to the forces under Major Gen. Wright, have been relieved from that assignment. At last accounts General Wright's command was at boonesboro, Maryland. —Pan Voorhees removed his law office, in Tcrre Ilaute, a few days ago, and in doing so left behind a package of pamph lets which arc now in tho hands 01" the Provost Marshal. On examination they were found to be fifteen hundred copies of the Yellow Hook, containing the sec ond and third degrees of the ritual oftlio Sons of Liberty, done up in an unopened cxpress package —The Union officers recently exchang ed at Charleston have arrived at Fortress Monroe. They report that (!en. Poster says he will take Charleston within two months. Prisoners of war confined in the interior of (reorgia arc being remov ed to Charleston, as the rebels don't con sider them safe in their late prisons. Six hundred officers arrived on the 3d. —Speaking of the burning of Chnni bhrsburg, the New York Tribune thus disposes ofa Copperhead falsehood : "The Copperhead organs which asserted that the Union armies have burned towns un der similar circumstances simply lie— there is no other word that does them justice. No Union General ever order ed the firing of a city or borough where in he had encountered no resistance; though Quantrell not only burned Law rence, which was surprised and lay at his mercy, but called uiost of its unarmed , male citizens out of'tjicir beds and butch ered them in cold blond."' —General Kilpatric basso far recover ed from his wound that he was enabled to resume his command in the Army of j the Cumberland afew days ago. —THE NEW YORK Herald suggests that Admiral Farragut's recent movement is probably designed not so much for the capture of Mobile as it is to obtain pos session of Panphin Island and Mobile Point, so that the harbor can bo effectual ly blockaded, and at the same time to re lieve the larg'e Union fleet now oil that place, who were hourly threatened with an attack ffom the rebel iron dads lying under the guns of Fort Morgan. 1! WE NEGROES THE RIGHT TO VOTE? —Before tho late special election it was \ a favorite electioneering dodge of the j Copperheads to tell the people that if the ■ first amendment was adopted it would I give negroes the right to vote.

WH O. BRACKENRIDGE, Aug. |T. IW4. Sheriff. U. S. 7-30 Loan. Tns Secretary of tho Treasury gives notico that sub scriptions will be received for Coupon Treasury Notes, psyable three years from Aug. 16th, 1804, with semi-an nual Interest at u rate of seven and three-tenths per cont. per annum—principal and interest both to be paid in lawful money. These notes will bo convertible at tho option of the holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing bond®, payable not less than five nor inoro than twenty years from thoir date, as the Government may elect. They will be Issued In denominations of SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO and 96,000, aud all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars. The notes will be transmitted to tho owners free of transportation charges as soon otter the receipt of tho original Certificate of Deposit as they can be prepared. As the notes draw interost from Angust 15, persons making deposits subsequent to that duto must pay thu Interest accrued from date of note to date of deposit. Parties depositing twenty-live thousand dollars and upwards for these notes at any one time will bo allowed a commission of one-quartor of one per cent., which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified by the officer with whom the deposit was made. No deductions for commissions must be mado from the deposits. Special Advantages of This Loan. It is a National Savi.ku* Ba.no, offering a higher ram cf interest than any other, and the best security. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in U. S. Notos, considers that it is paying in the best circulating medium of the country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own asscis are either in government securities or in notes or bonds payable in government paper. It is equally conveniet as a temporary or permanent investment. Tho notes can always bo sold for within a fraction of their faco and accumulated Interest, ond are ] the best security with banks as collaterals for disounts. Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Gold Bond, j In addMiou to the very liberal Interest ou the notes for i three years, this prlvilego of conversion Is now worth about three percent, per annum,for the current rato fur 1 5-20 Bonds is not loss than nine percent, premium, and before the war the premium in six per cent. U. S. stocks i was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the ac tual profit on this loan, at tho present market rato, is not less than teu per cent, per annum. Its Exemption from State or Municipal Taxation. But aside from all the advantages wo ha n fl enumera- , ted, a special Act of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury notes from lacal taxation. 0u the average, this exemption is worth about two per cent, per annum, occording to the rato of taxation in various parts of the country. It is believed that no securities offer so great Induce ments to lenders as those Issued by the government.— In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of prlvato parties, or stock companies, or separate com munities, ouly, is pledged fsr payment, while the wljole property of the country is held to secure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While tho government offers tho most liberal torms f.»r Its loans, it believes that tho very strongest appeal will be the loyalty and patriotism of tho people. Duplicate certificates will bo i • ucd for all doposlLs.— Tho party depositing mud tndorso upon tho original certificate*the denomination of notos required, and whether they arc to be issued in blank or payable to or di-. When so endorsed it must be left with tho officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to the Treasury Department.
