NEWS OF THE WEEK.
- The raid of John Morgan and his guer
rilla band, through Indiana and Ohio, has
come to an ignominious end. , On Sunday
they attempted to 'cross the Ohio river,
above Cincinnati, and were attacked by a
gunboat. A himdred and fifty rebels were
lulled and drowned, and over a thousand
captured. Morgan is still in Ohio with a
part of his forces, endeavoring, it, is said,
to reach the Ohio river at some point
where it is fordable.
The chief matter 'of interest frOm the
South is.the surrender of Port Hudson, of
which - we have had but the mere announce
ment. It appears : „that General Gardner,
on the Bth inst., sent out a flag of truce
asking for terms of capitulation. General
Banki replied that .he should require an
unconditional surrender, and gave Gard
ner twenty-four hours to consider the mat
ter. At 7 o'clock a. , m., on the 9th, the
terms were complied with, and our troops
took possession. The moment the surren-
Air was completed, the rebels sent a re
quest for six thousand rations, es they had
eaten their last mule—whi found to
be literally true. The trop es -are five
thousand prisoners, fifty pi of artillery
and small arms in proportion. i The cap
ture of Port Hudson opens the Hiuissip ,
pi river to our gu,nboats threllghout
whole navigable length. •
-The report of Messrs.
,AsPi4wall and
Forbes, who have recently arrived from
England, is said to be not very satisfactory.
It is now apprehended that the rebel fleet
will be permitted taiga from the British
ports where they were built in spite of all
the efforts of the agents of our Govern

Immediately after the surrender of
Vicksburg Gen t Grant sent. Gen. Sher.
man, with a portion of his for ce, in the
direction of the Big Black river, and the
following day they met Johnson in a drawn

Some gentleman of easy conscience and
moderate endowments, to run as a candi
date for Governor in Pennsylvania. It is
important that he should have hifki, a
Democrat, or at least have claimed to be
one. Re 'must believe that ABRAHAM
LINCOLN is a "second WASHINGTON ;" that
the present "Administration is the Gov
ernment ;"
_that all Republican officers
are patriots ; that it is " disloyal" to tallt
of the, Constitution in war times,; that
the "Union as it was" is not worth hav r
ing; that the people of this nation have
no rights except what their ,rulers choose
td concede them ; that " military neces
sity" is above all law ; that free speech
and free press-are empty names, no longer
fit for Americans to use ; that there should
be but one party, and that the Repub
lican ; that GEORGE B. licetzta.sx is a
" traitor ;" and that all people who advo
cate the principles embodied in the Con
stitution, and WAJI/INGTON'II and JACK.

Hon. WlMani H. Witte.
We are glad to leap that this eloquent
defender of the rights of the people has
resolved to take the stump •in favor of
Judge Woodward. Mr. Witte is one of
the very ablest—if not the ablest—political
orators in Pennsylvania, and wherever
he speaks' is sure to make hosts of con
vert, to the cause. He recently addressed
Ihe,tpeople of Schuylkill county, at Potti
villa, and the Standard of that place' says :
Never have we heard from the lips of
man-a more eloquent and stirring appeal
in favor of obedience to all rightful auth
ority, or more withering denunciations of
these, both north and South, who attempt
to override the Constitution and deprive
citizens' or their deareit rights.
•We hope to have the pleasure of an
nouncing that Mr. Witte will address the
people ofthis. county before the close of
the campaign. We venture, in that 'case,
to proMise him the largest audience that
has been gathered in Erie for many years.
"Fellow Citizens."
The Republican papers abuse Goy. Sey
inour for using the term "fellow citizens"
in his speech to theliew York rioters, and
for having addressed them in "words of
entreaty."' The Philadelphia Age, reply
ing to an article in Forney's Press, upon
this subject, says : "A few weeks ago,
when a,brulal mold of the followers of the
Rau, assembled in front of this.oftice and
threatened it . with destruction, the Re
publican Mayor of Philadelphia appeared
in their midst, addressed them as his fel
low citizens, and entreated. them to keep
the peace, and refrain from further disor 7
der. :The editor of the Press did not then
denounce the Mayor fdr his simple words
of "entreaty ;" and, instead of condemn
ing the lawless acts of the infuriated mob,
he patted the Jacobins upon their backs,
in his Washington newspaper, and head
ed an article endorsing the conduct of the
rioters with the approving words : "Good
for Philadelphia!'
It turns out that the escape of Lee was
the reedit of a consultation on the• part
of the leading officers of our army. A
council of war was held, in whieh the
subject of attacking . the rebels the next
day was discussed,• and decided ih the
negative. The. "Generals who pronoun
ced against the attack were Sedgwick, Slo
cum, Sykes, FreaCh and Hayes. Those in
favor of. attack were Generals Meade,
Howard, Pleasanton and Wadsworth,with
Humphrey,and Warren, of Meade's staff."
Meanwhile, Lee was rapidly crossing his
army, sad 'had already sent one or more
divisions on the opposite side of the Poto.

shaplaces the damage bfire during its
progress at $400,000, but i the Suing awl
says this estimate probably cosrs only
the value of the baildinge. The entire
losses by fire are at least ;One million dol
lars, including stock. The City Councils
have passed an appropriation of two mil
lions and a-half dollars.to pay the Gimp.
tion tees of poor men. '
The efforts to make the Democratic
. responsible for thill riot are as un
just as they'are characteristic of the 413;)
position. Most of the pillions concerned
in it were laboring men, Who are not con
nected with any party o'rganisUion, and
quite as frequently, we inspect; vote for
the Republican as the Democratic ticket.
The-whole ground of their • proceedinp

they claim to operate Injtuitly, towards
their class. If any proof. was needed of the
fact. that their coursele not , endorsed
by, and did not receiv any encourage.
ment from the promin i nt Democrats of
the city and State, it c be given in
abundance. Gov. Seymiur was unremit
ting in his efforts to quell the mob, and
the papers and leading men of our party
all united in giving hirilt their cordial as
sistance. We have yet to see a-Democra
tic journal which has not in the most em
phatic and unmigakeable language de•

by the Court of proper iititherity, the Ad

it into execution, for Atin it would place
itself in the position 4r: disobeying the
laws and its agents. On the other hand,
if the act is declared to legal and bind.

The exact period at which the draft will take
place. though it d is generally understood that
the time is nckfir distant. The greatest in
terest is felt Is the ;community in regard to
it, an i many pereons are already prep , ring
their exemption pews. We presume that
the Provost Marshal will give due notice of
the dty us which the drawing is to take
place, so that all may knoir when to get ready
for their fate. It is impossible to describe the
trepidation with which the event is waited by
the poorer classes especially. Amongst many
this feeling has extended into one oi the most
intense bitterness. which they are not back
ward in giving vent to. We have taken some
pains to ascertain the sentiment '4orthe 'peo
ple within , the past. Week, and have yet to
meet the first man, Republican or Democrat,
liable to do military duty, who expresses an
intention -to enter the service, if he can ob
tain the means of exemption. Amongst tho'se
who have the sum of $BOO 'to spare, there is
of course but little anxiety on the subject.
Below we give some further information on
the question of the .draft; obtained from va
rious sources since our last issue:
•
The order of the ProvosOilarshal prohibit-,
iug a drafted 'man from paying $3OO multi- ;
lion fee, after he had gone to the surgeon for
examination, was modified on Saturday, so as
to read that any perssU claiming exemptien .
from draft by reason „of any disability, hat
the right to have the question settled t y the
Board of Enrollment, whose decision thereon
is final. If the Board hits!l have decided that
the claimant is liable to serer, he bus the
right after such decision against him, to pay
his commutation money, or to furnish a 'sub.,
pilule within inch extended time es may be
axed the Board of Enrollment for his ap
pearance for .duty.
in cases where the Government receives
$3OO from-persons, in order to procure a sub ,
satiate, suoh Government substitute will re.
ceive ;be whole of - the. $3OO, With $lOO
bounty, and $2 premium added, , making, a
total of $402. SubStitutes alio are furnished
by individuals are entitled also to the $402
from the Govertruent, in addition to the
amount lhey receive front the individual tor
whom they are substituted.
By a decision 'of the 'Provost Marshal Gen
eral, the District Provost, Marshals are re
quired to publish the names of those who are
exempted, wilt' the cause of, such exemption,
except where, in the opinion of the marshal,
such cause is not proper to publish.
It is said that the government, has decided
that the 25th election of the conscription ace,-
relative to the arrest of persons resisting the
draft, shall be 'strictly adhered to. It pro
vides that If say person shall resist the draft,
or counsel any one to do.it, or his duty under
it, he shall be subject to summary arrest by
the Provost Marshal, and be forthwith deli
vered to the civil authorities; Where, upon
conviction, he shall suffer fine and imprison.
meat. -
The certificate of 'a parent that he or she
desires one of his or her sons exempted from
the. draft, should be filed with the. Provost
Marshal of the district before the ,draft ; is
made.
The following is Furnished by the War De
partment for the information of the public
" When a person has been drafted, in pur
e:atm of the parchment act of March Bd,
1888, notice of such draft must bi served
within ten days thereafter, by a written or
printed notice, to be served on him personally,
or by leaving a copy at his last place of rest
deuce requiring him to appear at a designated
rendezvous to report for duty. •
"Any person failing to report for ditty
alter notice is left at his last place of red
dance, or sewed on him. personally, without
furnishing a substitute or paying 5.300,13
pronounced by law to be a deserter.
"He may b e arrested and held for dial by
court martial and be sentenced to death. .A
=
drafted and before receiving notice,
the notice roar still ,be served by
leaving it at his last place, of residence, and
!if he does.not a in accordance with the
notice, or h a substitute, or pay the
$3OO, he will be in law a deserter and malt
be tried accordingly.
• " There is no way or manner in which a
person onop enrolled can, escape his public
duties, and when drafted,• whether present or
absent, whether he changes his residence or
abscond, the rights of the United States'
against h 1.9 are scoured, and it is only by the
performance of his duty to the country that
he will escape liability to be - treated 'as
criminal."
Instructions have been issued to the vaiious
Provost Marstudit, by which a item is pro
hibited from being a substitute for a white
man who is drafted. The order is in tine
Words:
"Any one who is equivalent for. person
,drafted may be received as a substitute, lid a
colored man, under existing laws, it not a military
equivalent." .
After the draft is over, a proper white man
May, be accepted as a substitute eyed , though
his vamp is enrolled.

NOUN EAST, July 12, 1863
DWI EDITOR :—Many days have elapsed
since I enjoyed the privilege of corresponding
with you, and- perhaps: a longer time would
have intervened had 1 fiat stopped to rusticate.
In reference to business I cannot say too
much ; every one seems to have all that he can
attend to. The stores are full of goodi, es
pecially those of oar dry goods merchants. For
*lnstance, 1 happened in the store of Haynes &
Corbett, who were crowded with customers
waiting to be shown some of their choice gro
ceries, or, perhaps, some were anxious to buy
a dress pattern of those tine goods, of which
there. is an abut:tames. seeing that my chance
for en interview with eitherof the proprietors
Was slim, I-stole out and called on the firm of
Higgins & Co., dealers . in all kinds • of hard
ware, and successors to D. Pierce. , None of
this partaars were is but Mr. Wm. Pierce, and
of him I learned enough to satisfy myself that
business was never better. My next call was
oa the Brookins Brothers, whose store is chuck
fall of every thing in the shape of goods of all
descriptions And whuse business confines to be
"tip top." !Tie no i triable for them to show
goods; this is the nasal' they have so many
customers. _ c ) sanotsay too much for Bcouller.
Everybody imows that his stock of groceries
cannot be befit. He can hardly keep goods
enough on head to supply the demand of his
patrons. Neither could I pass by Greer &
Rupee! store withent.filling on them. Here
I found every thing nest and tidy, still busi

TayAsos.—The Gazetes has an article in
lag woes's lalge, arguing tint the ~,Administ
ration is the Government," and condemning
those as traitors who denounce the former. If
it be really true that .to oppose an Aditinis-
Indio be sufficient to convict one of so
heinous a crime, bOw gray e hays been the
otfeares of our neighbors, a.sd how serious• is
the punishment that lies In wait for ,them.
Let us see how the account, stands with that
• --
paper :
The Gazette opposed the AdminiStra q on of
Andrew Jackson—aye, mole, it villitted and
traduced that noble old patriot te. an extent
n
such as . uo Democratic jon i el his dared to
imitate in -the cue of Presil ent Lincoln.
It oppoied that of Hard Van Buren.
It opposed that of Johh yler. , •
It opposed that of James H. Pol k.
It opposed that of . in Pierce.
It opposed that of James Buchanan.
sf e
Here Mu several • trations which
it has y Lenny abused,' and If its owl ar
guments be correct, it was all that time op
posing t Government. The Gantt. now
says that such opposition • " treason." Let
it be once conceded that th doctrines of that
paper to-day are sound, a d its editors will
stand in the somewhat uses v iable position of
having been guilty of six-f Id treason.
pi
We'submit it to all canl id men, whether
ca
any other conclusion n ibly be reached
than the one which is arriv d at above.

There is a deal of dramatic cozudeuction in
this story ; by which we mien that the tale is
I .
told by incident and the venation of char
acters, rather than by lanation on the
part of the author. The character of its
hero is developed bit by b it. It seems like
the accurate report of a trial, la which
the witnesses are examin aid cross-exam
ined by skillful ' lawyezn, and the truth is
brought out by tict and knowledge of human
IF
nature. The inferior eh ' tors; if we may
term them so,. when all so &figurately
.drawn—on managed with deal of skill; sad
no one is obtruded so as 'detach from the
intiiest of the narrative.' The volume will
have a ready sale from the reputation of its
author, and retain it throe h its' own merits..
