AT A LARGe and enthusiastic Union meeting
held in Union county, on the 20th ult., resolu
tions were adopted instructing delegates to
the Pittsburg Convention to support A. G•
Curtin for Governor, and Minjamin H. Brew•
titer, of Philadelphia, for Supreme Judge.—
At this meeting Democrats and Republicans
struck hads, determined to support the Na
tional administration in its efforts to crush
rebellion everywhere, and under every form.
FROM the far South come sips of allegiance
to the old flag. The victories of GRANT and
MEADE have carried lerror to those who are
rebels because of interestor passion. "Therm,
have been no signs of this white feather flut
tering during the few past gloomy days.—
Let us warn them that it is base to feel, and
dangetfOus to be premature in the utterance
of, such sentiments." To us there are joyous
wordß for they tell us that the blood of loy•
alty is again gushing through the veins of the
South. The city of Mobile, in which these
words were written, was warmly attached to ,
Douctcns, and attachinent to DOUGLAS means
loyalty and patriotism.
GENERAL SICKLES. AT Home.—Major-Gen
eral Sickles arrived in Jersey City on Thurs
day afternoon, on the way to his residence on
the Hudson river. His leg' which suffered
amputation has of late healed rapidly, thus
enabling the General to undertake the jour
ney. A revenue cutter was placed at his dis•
posal by the surveyor of the port, in which,
a party of friends, among whom were James
T. Brady and T. F Meagher, the General was
taken to his home. The prospect is that, un
der the care of his physician, who performed
the amputation and who attends him constant . -
ly, he will soon recover, and be able to re
sume his duties in the field.
fl The Rebellion can be put down, and
will be put down. At all points the cause of
the Union is in the ascendant The ''stars
and the stripes" float in light and victory.—
Vicksburg has fallen H-Charlest al trembles
in the ballinces—the gamblers, thieves' and
outlaws of New York, are put down. Who
doubts now that the Government will be suc
cessful over domestic traitors and foreign foes,
Now, more thiin ever is a union of all loyal
men to be encouraged. In union is strength.
United our country must stand, and the gates
of hell cannot prevail against it. Let party
`be discarded—let politicians and their
Bch eines of aggrandizement be frowned down;
while all gOod men, who wish to see the Union
restored, and an end put to the enormous ex
penditure of blood and treasure, go hand in
hand for the country, and the war will Boon
be over. •
GENERAL REJOICINO —While all loyal hearts
pro tilled with general joy at the glorious vic•
tories achieved by our army at, Gettysburg,
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and while the
President of the United States has issued his
rrochlutalion.ealling for a day of Ihanksgi v.,
jug to Almighty God, the " Jeffersonian,"
newspaper published in the loyal county of
Chester, devotes just four lines and a half to
the subject. The successful escape of Lee
into Virginia, however, is the subject for more
than a column, in which full justice is time
to the superior sagacity of the Rebel general!
THE Sts Moy•rus' MEN.—The Ledger says :
—Many persons aro under the impression
that the six months' men are exempted from
draft. This is not so; the law says, the six
months men in the United States service
age liable to draft. If drafted, they wily
receive credit for the time they may have
served, or may yet serve, under their present
engagement. They will continue on duty
with, the organization to which they may be
long at the rime of the draft, and, at the ex
piration of that service, will be assigned to
three years' regiments fur the completion of
their term of service.
ItEly. The rebels in North Carolina seem to
be in sore distress. The reactionary move
ment, as it may be called, is passing beyond
the control of those who aro charged with the
management of the Cc.nfederate affairs.
Governor VAtioc, who seems to be a peculiar
being—a kind of Mosaic Governor—talking
for secession and laboring against it, has call
ed a meeting of the Legislature to discuss
some local matter, but virtually with the idea
of reopening negotiations with view of retdrn
ing North Carolina to the Union. This State
has been one of Mr.l3Avis' most deplorable
failures. Heart and soul for the Union, it
was whirled into secession by treason and
crime. We shall gladly welcome the old
North State into the family of loyal States.
Balaur Shies. The union cause never
looked so b*Iit, ' ISIIICI3 tife beginning of the
War, as it does now. Since the first of July
the rebel- armies hava lost one hundred
thousand men, and an immense amount of
stores ; and, more important still, their two
strongholds in the centre of the rebellion.
Now is the time for every true man to take
courage, and stand shoulder. to shoulder in
support of the GOvernment and our gallant
armies in the field.
TAKE COURAGE.—Tho recent successes of
the' F.edertil arras inspires ~g pry loyal, heart
with new, life trod confidence. The fall of
Vicksburg & Port Hudson and the defeat of
Johnson, Lee, Price and other big guns,
spreads gloom and terror over the rebelStatel.
They-betoken the certain and not far distant
fate which awaits the authors Of the -Rebel
lion. The rebels forsee the downfall of "the
sum of all iniquities." Let the friends of the
Union take heart and be of good courage.
A..better time is coming.' .The cause of jus
tice has been sorely tried, but the day dawns.
" niiirNow, if evei,is the golden hour of the
Republic. If we would reach peace, it [Mist,
be by a mighty, violent, and overwhelming
blow.
,The rehel,ion is reeling. See the
cries of despair that come from every South
era journal. Unite the North in t one mighty
army, and. then advance along the - lines.
Victory is as sure as suulight after the dawn.
Drafting—Flow Done=2* - ho'a. 2.x
-empt---Regulations, &c.
„_ .
As the businessmf drafting is bno or, very.
general importance, we give the mode intwliidh
the draft is made :
Each name contained on the enrollment .
list of the first class, is carefully' copied on e
a card, with age, occupation and township.—
These names are placed in boxes, which are
carefully scaled up, and the number of names
in them marked on the outside—those for
each sub-district (corresponding with the
townships and boroughs in the respective
counties in a separate box ; When the draft
is about to commence, the Board of Enroll
ment, in the presence of any persons who
may choose to attend, take the box contain•
ing the ballots of the first sub-district, open
it, carefully count the ballots found in it, and
place them in the wheel. The Commissioner
then announces that, the draft for the first
subdistrict of the 16th district of Pennsylva
ilia, for so many men will commence. The
person appointed by the Provost Marshal for
the purpose, being carefully blindfolded,
will then draw a single ballot from the wheel
and hand it. to the Commissioner, who will
read aloud the name on it., and the clerk will
enter it on the roll. When the proper num
ber of ballots have berm drawn out, those re
maining will be taken from the *heel and
carefully counted, to see that they, together
with those drawn out, make up the number
put, in., the wheel. The remaining sub dis•
tricts will be proceeded with in like manner
until all are disposed of:
The•person so drawn, in pursuance of law,
will be " notified of the same within ten days
thereafter by a notice, to be served per Son•
ally, or by leaving a copy at the last pbme of
residence, requiring him to appear at, Carlisle
"to report for duty." "And any person
failing to report after due service of notice,
as herein prescribed, without furnishing
substitute, or paying the required Burn there
for, shall be deemed a deserter. and shall be
arrested by the l'rovost Marshal, and sent to
the nearest military
- post for trial by court
martial, unless, upon proper showing that he is
not liable to do military duty, the Board of
Enrollment shall relieve him from the draft."
Persons who may have absented themselves
from home to avoid the dr - aft, are properly
enrolled as temporarily absent ; and in case
they are drafted and fail to appear, they be
come deserters, and aro to he treated accord.
ingly.
Those who report themselves at the Head
quarters, at Carlisle, for examination, and
are passed, will be immediately placed in
uniform, and furnished with :a knapsack,
haversack, canteen, blanket, knife, fork,
spoon, tin cup and tin plate, and placed 'in
camp hero Their citizens' dress must be
disposed of by themselves.
Persons drafted aro furnished transporta
tion to Carlisle, and if they are exempted,
back again to their homes, at the expense of
the Government.
• For a variety of outsets perbons may be ex
empted from service Those physically or
mentally unfit ; those who procure substi•
totes ; those who pay a commutation of
$300; the only son of a widow dependent
on his labor for support ; the only son of
aged or infirm parent or parents dependent on .
his labor for supl ort. ; one of two or more
sons of aged or infirm parents dependent on
their labor for support ; the only brother of
children under twelve years of age, without
father or mother and dependent on Ilk labor
for support ; the rather of motherless children
under twelve years of age, dependent upon
his labor for support ; two ptrsons in a fam
ily where two others in the saute family are
already iu the service ; or by law exempted.
Upon application to the Board of Enrollment,
by the latter class, evidence will be obtained
from the War Department, upon which their
cases will be decided. The live preceding
classes will make, proof according to certain
forms and directions published fur their in
formation. Any person dedring to pay the
$3OO commutation, can du so to the Collector
of Internal Revenue, on or before the day
fixed fur him to report at Headquarters, and
take duplicate receipts, upon the presentation
of which the Board will give him a certificate
of exemption from liability under the present
draft, but he will be liable in ease of another
draft. Any person desiring to offer a substi
auto must give notice to the Board in writing,
stating what day he will present his substi
Lute, his name, residence, age, and whether a
citizen or alien; and he must present him to
the . Board' - cin or before the'day fixed for hint
to report for duty. If this substitute is no•
cepted, the principal is discharged from all
liability for three years. A drafted man can
pay commutation money or present a substi•
Lute after he has piesented himself to the
Board for examination. If the Board shall
have decided that the claimant is liable to
serve, he has the right, after such decision
against him,, to pay his commutation money
or furnish his substitute within such extend
ed time us may be fixed by the order of the
Board of Enrollment for his appearance for
duty.
Those drafted men whii fail to obtain ex
emptiou by any of the methods here indica
ted, will be required to undergo a careful and
thorough examination by the Surgeon of the
Board, arid if preanunced physically and men
tally qualified, will" be mustered into the ser
vice.
All persons in the service on the 8d of
March last, whether volunteers, drafted men,
or substitutes for drafted mon, are exempt
from this draft, but those who employed sub.
stitutes are not exempt.
Those who are in the State service, under

Upon the t.enrollrnent act, in two imPortiint
pplets, byiPro.ost Marshal Fry. 11r..chsh
ink Maintains, that the p4ment, of $3OO, ex
empts a , Man for three years, and thida - per
son cahnot be required to' furniSh a sub4itute
or pay the commutation money bofOrAeing
examined. In the latter particular the in
structions of the Provost Marshal General
have already been overruled. We incline at
least to the justice , of the decision, whether
it correctly expounds the terms of.the law or
not. If the Paythent of $3OO Were only to
exempt a man from the panieular draft then
in progress, and not during the term for
which men are drafted, then it would exhaust
the resources of nine out of every ten men
liable to draft,.were they compelled to pay
the $3OO every time their names were drawn,
simply because it might become necessary to
order a recourse to conscription every calen
dar month. It the draft is for three years,
then the men paying the $3OO should b.e ex
empt from conscription for that space of
tune. Hence, the decision of Justice Cush
ing will he received by the popular mind as
just and equitable.
fierWe notice the. - Volunteer with its usual
fairness and truthfulness, inveighing in its
choicest expletives against those of our citi
zens who left town previous to the appear
ance of L'well's rebel horde. The editor
draws a tearful pickfre of the wives and chil
dren of these recreants, Wandering over the
town, seeking the protection of which they
were bereft by the abscence of their natural
guardians. Now, while it is neither our
province nor pleasure to explain or defend
the action of those of our citizens wits evac•
wed before the appearance of the enemy, we
submi that the families of those citizens were
little if at all better off while Fitz Hugh Lee's
valiant batteries were showering their iron
billets upon them, than if their husbands and
fathers had been by their sides. The Vulun
leer's story of the peculiar suffering of these
'• basely deserted" ones, to say the least of it,
is rather highly colored.
But when that paper says that not a Demo
oral or Copperhead was to be found among
the " skedadfflers," it tells nothing more I 101:
less than a tint lie. We can recall the names
of several gentlemen, not particularly distin•
gnished fur loyalty or patritaisni, and whom
the rofunteri would bo - very loth io call `•Ab
olitionists," who found it convenient to turn
up missmg on that eventful Saturday morn.
ing. There were a number, too, who ro•
monied to welcome their friends—who have
never been charged with being anything that
smacked of opposition to copperhetalisin—
whose absence would have materially conduced
to the safety and secrecy of the property
of several of our merchants and families.
The 84(110 issue of the same paper says that
of 530 loyal leaguers in Philadelphia, only
four volunteered to defend the State. This
is .bout as ucar the truth as this jdurual
usually gets. Instead of the Philadelphia
Union League consisting of five hundred
mewl ors, live thousand is much nearer the
mark, and everybody knows that a full regi
ment of the members of that league is now in
service, and is known as the Union League
Itegimeut." Van the Vo:unteer show such an
exhibit from any copperhead clique?
The Fulton /bpi/hi/can announces that du
ring the late visits of the rebels to that place,
two young men front-our town. 'JILIN'. LioN,
son of William Lyon, Esq , and MENGEL REEL.,
son of John I'. Reed, Esq , enlisted in the
rebel Cavalry service. This we have learned
to ho a fact. This is the happy teachings of
Copperheadism. Those young men have been
much more manly titan many of the fellows
who stay here and claim, as they did, that
they are Union men instea I of going and de
fending or fighting for their friends and let•
ting the world know who are our enemies.—

day, the question of appropriating Two Mil
lions and a Half of Dollars to keep drafted
men out of the Union armien, Mr. Sandford
is reported by the Herald as saying :
" Mr. Sandford said that the $3OO conscrip
tion clause was the occasion of all the trou
ble. So far as he was concerned, he would
vote for any amount of money to permit poor
men .to remain nt home with their families ;
but, so far as his private opinion was con
cerned, he Would not vote fur a single dollar
for the further prosecution of the war. The
Executive cannot get the number of conscripts
he has called for to put down the Rebellion ;
consequently it cannot be . put down The
only way by which th , Rebellion could be put
down Was to withhold men and money—let us
have a Peace Congress—let there be a ces
sation of hostilities, and, in the language of
Richard O'Gorman, arm the citizens of New
York, to the teeth, if necessary, under Gov.
Seymour."

Not being willing to entrust all the rough

the - aid of other servants of Jefferson Davis.
On the first day one Andrews, n Virginia reb

Tuts REBEL itaritY.—Gen. Meade sends to
Washingtrn thirty ono of the regimental bat
tle flags, captured at the battle of Gettysburg.
Thirteen of those were taken from Virginia
infantry regiments, four from North Cirolind
regiments, two from Georgia regiments, one
from an Alabama, one from a Mississippi, lu.d
one from a Florida regiment, and nine were
from regiments whose Slates were 11,1 known.
These facts and many others that have ap
peared from time to time, go to show that t
bulk of Lee's army is made up of Virginians
and North Carolinians. The greater part of
the rebel army of the Southwest, comprising
the regiments raised in the States of Missis
sippi and Alabama, and the States west of
the Mississippi river, has been captured as
prisoners of war by Gen. Grunt and Banks.
The army of Gen. Bragg is composed mainly
of regiments from Tennessee, Georgia and
Kentucky, with others from the Gulf States;
but a lari6 pull of the Tennesseans and
Kentuckians deserted lately when he fell back

to his former unity and glory was near at baud•
After denouncing the rebellion as it deserves,
ho added: “This•is not of our seeking, and
we lupe not been parties to it."
Mr. Brough paid his respects to the "peace"
democrats in the following terms:
" Your celebrated Peat: Convention of New
York passed its peace resolutions, which wan
dered down into Dixie, and then came back to
you spurned and spit upon. Next your Peace
Convention of Ohto passed their resolutions,
and sent them down to Dixie, and they were
spurned more fiercely than those that went
before, and well they might be, for they were
not up to the New York standard. (Laugh
ter.] Now, my Democratic friends, how many
of you have taken and read those twenty
three resolutions ? If any, what have you
found You have lound all of them negative
in character. They are against the war, they
are against the prosecution of the war, they are
against the Administration, they are against
military arrests, they are against wiiitary pros
ecutions, they are against everything they
could hurl to allege against the government of
the North. But there is nut one line or syllable
condemnatory of this rebellion, or odthe men
who put it in force Not one single word !
Your own government is dt ['enticed, quarreled

A Vain Boast
C L. VALI, \ NDIGIIAM, in the speech he made
liefore the Copperhead party in New York,
March 7, trade use of the following language :
We have our mission here; our business is
to fight the Abolition rebels in our midst.—
[Loud applause ]. We have not imerfered
with them in the discharge of their duty, and
they shall not interfere with us. Thry are
under unittary law, the command of the Tres
iileut of the United States, of their superior ;
we are nut.. [Cheers.] We are the masters.
of these officials. They are liable to he tried
lit drum-head courts martial, according to
military law, un l punished under that law.—
We are, and we mean to be, tried only by the
judicial tribunals of:our country. [•' Good"
toil applause.]
For fulfilling that very mission—fur op
posing tho Government and fighting against
it—for threatening the mioisters of the law
by saying he was not under the present Ad
ministration, but adhered to the cause of the
rebels ; for saying that he and his friends the
Copperheads were toasters of the Government
officials, and that they (not traitors and reb
els) should be tried at drum head courts mar
tial, and for other traitorous expressions, was
this nian VALLASDIGHAM token up, tried, con
vioied and scut away branded as a traitor !
What did all his threats and assumption of
power amount to ? What did his vaunted
boast of being master of the Government. offi
cials avail hint in hiB hour of trial and convic
Lion? The very Constitution to which he
clung deserted him. There was no clause in
it that took the rope from the neck of a trait
or—no loophole for him to creep out of—and
-thus, his ignorance of that very document,
the light•houso of the Union, shining on all
loyal men 011ie, brought him to the end of
his infamous Oareer: For it is his end, in
despite of Copperhead boasts to the contrary.

Banquet to Gen. Meagher
One evening last week about,two hundred
of the personal friends of this gallant Irish'
soldier, gage him a banquet at the Astor
House in New York Mayor Ocnvtc.u,
THURLOAV WEED, JAMES T. BRADY, JunoE
BALI', and many other distinguished men
were present. JAMES T. BEADY made an.
eloquent and powerful -speech, contending
that it was the duty of every one to support
the administration in the prosecution of the

The Chairman then introduced General
TitanAs FaAlsms MEAGIIER, and in conclu
ding, presented him with a magniticentlf
designed gold medal, upon which is inscribed
the names Of all the battles in which the
Irish Brigade was engaged.
Gen. MEACITIER 7 in reference to the call,
rose mid lend cheers, and made an eloquent
speech, in the course of which he paid a
huh tribute to the Irish Brigadecompliment
ing the men for their services hr aiding in
putting down the rebellion, and reviewing
the career of Irish soldiers on every battle
field in Europe. After a review of the c'Nn
dition of the country, be concluded by sqy
ing it was better that the taxes should be
multiplied, that trade should stand still, that
comtuerce should be paralyzed or limp foxi
ly along ; that multitudes should perish on
the field with their country's (lig pointed to
the sun, and the glory of the martyrs ; that
gais'ty should put on mourning ; that luxury
should get down upon its knees and beg a
crust; that the bittern anti the cormorant
should usurp the warehouse and the palace,
and the fate Tyre and Itaalbec be its visits
(ton. Better all this a thousand times than
that a people for the sake of having a glut

and at ease, should at the bidding of craven
or a u d,,cions demagogues clamor for and in
sist upon a peace which would annihilate
their sovereignly, closing their history with
the crime of sinehre and an irrevra•alile S4`ll

so? Shall the prayers of the wicked pre

WAR NEWS.
Advices from the Headquarters. of the
Army of the Potomac, received atWaihing
ton, show that the army has been actively
and successfully employed during the last
week. By rapid marches they havesucceed
ed in bulling Lee's attempts to gerinte
Eastern Virginia end forced him to retreat
toward Staunton. His attempts to get 'pos
seision of the gaps of the Blue Ridge wero
forestalled. At Ashby's and Manassas Gaps
he was driven hack with loss. At Chester
(lap o u r cavalry recaptured 1100 head of
cattle and several hundred head of sheep,
stolen from Pennsylvania. A large number
of horses have also been recaptured. The
principal light of the week occurred 23d,
when a brigade of infantry, probably Lee's
rear guard, were driven through Front Roy
al. The country through which the army
has passed is unutterably poor and the inha
bitants near to starvation.
A despatch from the Headquatiers of the.
Army of the Potomac to Maj.Gen-Schenck,
dated at Front Royal, Va., on Saturday,.
states that Gen. Meade engaged the enemy
at that point on Friday. On Saturday morn
ing he had withdrawn, and Lee's whole army
was undoubted 1, en route to Culpepper and
Orange Cuurt House. His rear probably
passed the Shenandoah at Front Royal and
Strausharg. Brig. Gen. Loclrwcmd, com
manding at llarper's Ferry, also states that
the enemy has disappeared from that region,
and is nowhe :e North of Winchester.
