' This important measure was passed by Cimgress last week. The draft is to be made, if at all, by .wards, precincts, or townships; the pro portion or quotu of each is to be ascer tained, as nearly as possible, taking into the account the number previously fur nished by it, not only for the artily but also for the naval service. Any person enrolled may furnish, pre viously to the draft, a substitute not, lia ble to the draft, and shall be exempt dur ing the time for which his substitute shall be exempt. Any persoh drafted may furnish a sub stitute, and if the latter is not liable to draft, shall be exempt during the time the substitute is exempt, but not exceed ing the term for which he was drafted. If the substitute is liable the principal shall be liable in filling further quotas If the drafted person I pay commutation, such payment shall relieve him only for that quota, and in no ease shall his_ ex emption extend beyond one year. Members of religious denominations conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, and so declaring by oath or affirmation, may be assigned, when drafted, to hospi tals, or may pay $3OO for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers. Aliens who have voted or held office shall be liable to draft. Mariners or able seamen drafted may within eight days en •list in the naval service for a period not less than the term of the than; ate wnote number of,sueh transfer enlistments not to exceed 10,000. Districts to be cred ited with such enlistments as if the draft ed men had entered the military' service. !to pilot, engineer, master-at-arms, acting master, acting ensign, or acting master's =MOB liable to draft Persons physically or mentally unfit, persons actually in the military or naval service, and persons who have served two years during the war and have been hon orably discharged, are exempt. Only sons, "mother's, dependent on their sons," and that class of exemptions are stricken out. The two "classes" in the old act are consolidated. ' The enrollment lists are to be thorough ly revised, so as to add the names of all who have reaohed the arms•bearing age since they were made, and to drop all who have passed forty-five since then. For the benefit of white men in the slave states, upon whom the former law bore oppressively, it is provided that the enrollmentsball include blacks and slaves; thus the non-slaveholding will no longer have to bear the burdan of their wealthy slaveholding neighbors. Slaves are not exempt, but to then masters is given the government bounty; and a governinent commission is to sit, in each slave state, to award just compensation to those whose slaves have been drafted and u3ado free. Persons resisting the enrollment, or aiding and abetting resistance, or resist ing any officer charged with duties under those acts, shall be punished by. fine not exceeding five years, or both. Persons procuring exemption_ by fraud shall be deemed deserters, and punished as such, and held to service for the full term of the draft Whoever procures or attempt's to, pro cure a false report from the surgeon'as to his physieal condition, shall bo imprison ed for period of the draft. Surgeons guilty :of misfeasance shall be punished by fine and imprisonment. No member of the Board of Enroll ment or other officer shall be concerned in procuring substitutes on i (malty of fine and ituprioeumout.

Parsonage, Sat., 13th WELL EXPRESSED,—The Saturday Evening Post touches the true point when it says that too many of the Polish "patriots" only wadt liberty for them. selves and particular classes, while other classes they would tread under foot. There is far too much of the same "lib erty"' sought in Italy, France, Ireland, Eagland,Ao. Nor is America free from the same in consistency, if* not hypocrisy. Genera. tion after generation have the slave holders been fierce for their own freedom, bit put other human beings in the gross- I est, worst of bondage. And thousands of so ealied "Dernocrats",at the North, have either approved, or silently acqui esced in, wholesale oppression of one race or caste by another race or caste. Poland, Italy, and Ireland, can never be truly free until they reader freedom to all. And the bloody baptism of this Union is ;to end in establishing the prin ciples of quality of Rights for all Men. Aristocracy may hate it, but to that it must andjtrill como at last. JUST so.--Itt one of the detected let ters of Lamar, a Rebel emissary, oecurs the following precious revelation : "Drive, gold coin out of the country, and induce undue importations of for eign products, so as to strike down the financial system. You can have no fur ther hope for foreign recognition. It is evident the weight of arms is against us; and it is clear that we can only succeed by striking down the, financial system of the country." Such is the foreign Rebel's advice to his .brethren at home—and the Copper head leaders are carrying out the same policy. They have done all they could to make "greenbacks" odious--to drive out gold—to increase consumption of for eign gocds—and to produce extravagance in the army. After all this, they try to shake the people's confidence in the gov eminent, l and to disconrage them about the War, so that the Rebels can dictate terms; and rule again. -Mr. J. C. Bryant, the resident principal of the Buffalo Commeroial Col lege has inaugurated a dew department of instruction in that already popular in stitution. Something over a year ago be established in connection with the other branches of study, a Telegraphic depart ment for the burpose of fitting young w e n for praoticaloperaters. The success of this appartment together with the great abdinerassing demand for operators has rendered it nt:EnisciTy to increase the facilities for instruction, Additional in 'strument's have therefore been put up, nnd arrangements dave been made with .M.r. Charles S. Jones the. present gen tlemanly superintendent of the. Buffalo office of the Western Union Telegraphic I 'Co., to give instruction in this depart ment. Mr Jones stands at the-head of ihis profession and a rare opportunity is here offered for young men to , become skillful f) perators. The Draft. The following 1:tu) been sent to no by Capt. Duals for publication : Faovosi Mammy /a Orrin, WlLLumsroar, Pa., Feb. 19, 1864. f • The following instructions being the latest received at this office on the sub ject referred to, are puplished for the in formation of those concerned; Ist. That the several sub-districts re ceive credit for all such volunteers as may have' been mustered into the service of the United States, - since the last draft, and that the number so credited be de ducted from theif quota under the recent call. 2d. If the men receive any local: bean- I ty from any particular locality, they are toebe credited to that locality. 3d. If they do not receive any local bounty ) they are to be credited to tke place at which they enlist or their actual residence, if they have one, as they may select. 4th. Veterans, re-enlisted in the field, will be credited according to their mu ter-rolls, provided, that their residence, or the locality to which their credit is due, is noted therein. Muster-rolls de fective as to these statements will be com pleted by supplementary muster-rolls, to be made out by the respective company, commanders, and forwarded by them to the office of Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General at Harrisburg, with the certified copies of the defective rolls. sth. The assignment, decision, an nouncement and bestowal of credits for this district will be either by the Provost Matshal General, or under his direction, by the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General at Harrisburg. 6th. The Provost Marshal General has directed that the premiums of 625 an.d 615 will be paid to any non-commissioned officer, private or citizen who presents an aceepted recruit. 7th. No transferecan now be made in the enrollment, unless specially author ized by the act now before Congress—the time for all alterations having expired Jan. sth. Bth. It should be borne in mind that the quotas heretofore published will not in all cases be correct. The real quotas are much larger, but are to be reduced by deducting from them: let. The number of volunteers furn ished by each sub-distfict subsequent to the late draft and prior to the 31st of Jan. 1864, and• duly reported as such. 2d. The number of men held to service under the late draft or who paid commu tation or furnished substitutes. This balance thus ascertained eonsti- Lutes the number to be drafted from each sub-district subject to a credit for such votanteers ash each may furnish between Feb. Ist and Feb. 29, 1864. W. H. BLAIR, Capt. and Provost Marshal, 18th Diet. We publish, again, the approximate quota fo'r this county, because we think that if* is raised by volunteers there will be no draft. Too much dependance should not be plaCed on the credit of veterans, for two reasons : Ist, The veterans are credited according to the muiter-rolls in the Adjutant General's office, and 2nd, Many of the men who have re.enlisted do not know where they are credited to, at least are not certain of it, and in conse quence different towns are sometimes claiming the same man. The time is so short that every possible effort should be made to avoid mistakes of this kind, for . fear that after a town thinks they have their quota filled, they find these veter• ans have not been credited as they ex. pected. This difficulty in regard to pro. per credit on the first muster-rolls arises from the fact that at the time of enlist• ment no one expected a draft and come quently no special effort was made to see that the correct township or borough was placed opposite each man's name. 126th Sub• Dist.
