WILLIAMSPORT, July 2v, 1864.
Ia politimithere is nothing new, except,
perhaps, the Greeley-Sanders (flirtation,
at the Clifton Reuses. About.ten days
"ate, four peoininetit re bele,' Gee. N. Saun
ders, C. C. Clay, .11. - P. Helconsb nod Ja
cob- Tho mpson, appeared . t the Falls, on
416 Canada' side, and shortlY after it was
discovered that Horace Greeley was on
this side and that a correspondence was
going on bet Ween the parties. t! Curiosity
was on tip-toe to learn the , nature of the
oorrespondence, and surmises Were rife as
to what was to grog out of it. f Mr. Gree
ley gratified th'e public by revealing
the correspondenc e . The first letter is
from Sanders to Greeley saying that they
are "ready and willing to go once to
Washington, upon complete and unqual
ified protection being given, either by the
/ President or Secretary of ' War." Mr.
Greeley then very naturally inquires :
I am informed that you are duly accredited
from Richmond as the bearers ofipropositions
looking to 'the establishment of, peace, that
you desire to, visit Washington in the fulfil
ment of your mission, and that i you further
desire that Mr. George N. Sanders shall
company you. If my informatidn be thus far
substantially correct, I am authorized by the.
President of the United States k.o tender you
his safe conduct on the.jonrney pioposed,
and to accompany you at the !earliest time
i that will be agreeable to you. 1
'Mr. Greeley then receiveda letter cor
reetina the isupresAon that they had been
'accredited from Richmond, 'but stating
that they were in n the confidential em
piterment of "their Government" and
consequently knete its wishes. This
changing from Commissioners to individ- 1
eels, of course:joy?lved a change of pro
cedure on the partiof Mr. Greeley. '
,Greeley then inforins the Rebels that he
hat telegraphed to Washington for in
structions, and shoiely after , receives the
following instruotiens, which we copy in
full : " Ij
I EXECUTIVE M.AXSION, 'WASHINGTON,
II July 18, 1864.
TO WllO3l IT MAY CONCEILN..
Any proposition Which embraces the res-
I toratiop of Peace, ihr integrity of the whole
Union, and the abandonment of Slavery, and
which comes by and( with an nuthorityl that
can control the armies now at war against the
United States ' will be received and consid
ered by the Executive Government of the
' United States, and be n.et by liberal
terms on other substantial and collateral
nilats, and the bearer or bearers of it shall
have. Safe Conduct both ways.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
!The letter which terminates the cor
respondence is a long letter frees Clay and
Holcomb, which they transmit through
Col. Jewett to Mr.' Greeley stating - that
the document of the President addressed
',whom it may concern," Precludes nego
tiation, and proceed to argue in behalf of
`their cause. This correspondence has
i
g l ven the "Cops" an opportunity to bowl
about • "rejection of peace propositions"
end assert that President Lincoln "desires
t 6 continue the war." To thinking men.
this cannot but be ridiculous, but with
the masses, who many , times take asser
tion for argurdent,' this will not seem so
foolish, and knowing that the rebels in
the North are attempting to create the
impression "that if the GoVernment would,
they could have peace." How foolish T
These men acknowledge that they are!
acting in an individual capacity; that
theyare not accredited from Richmond,
and that if terms of pease, were agreed
upon between them and our Government
they would then have to prOcure the con
sent of "their Government,"—which
might and might not be &hie. It looks
to me,like an "electioneering dodge" of
the Copperheads, the best:way it can be
seen. Some weeks ago this Geo. N. l
Sanders, a northern renegade, telegraphed
to the editor of the Herald that he was
at the Clifton House and Wanted to see
him. Did he or did he not see him and
plan this_trap by which Mr. Greeley, in
his earnest desire for the' public good,
Should be made the means for an attack '
upon the Administration. If he did not, ,
it must lie a curious expression that;
James Gordon Bennett, wears 'upon his'
face to-day.
For a lung tiros North! Carolina has
been surging to and fro upon the waves'
Of the Old Union; the - Corifederacy, and
an Independent Sovereignty, in which
the old North State should constitute a
i tieparate Government. This wriggling
, and squirming has cost hee'much trouble.
Her last proposition is "individual sov
ereignty' in which she shall be neutral,
neither for the North or the South. The
Richmond papers advise her of the very
'important propositions which it will be
necessary for her to pratitically demon
strata in such an event. The removal of
all Federal troops, from her soil and also
file' removal of the civic an4military
oroet of the Reltels. V'o Federal or
Rebels troops must then (be allowed to ,
cross her border, or her neutrality would
be defeated. She would stand between
two fires, either of which Would be strong
enough to consume her. !That this posi
tion would be einteneble it needs no ar
gument to prove. What !will become of
the "old North State," the laud of pine
knots and tar, it is bard to say.
I dropped upon a true disciple of Val
landigham the other day. Some one .was
telling him that -McClellan 'had made-a
r ay speeoh ire which he was reported to
have said he was in favor of putting down
Ithe Rebellion by force of arms. The old
Nebel, very mucle , :exoited, exclaimed :
"Then we , must 'have a different candi
date, I won't vote for him I" Thus it
Igoeti. The least indication from a Dom
*rat that he is in favor of crushing trea
son, ostracises hint and "calla - down.upon
ibis head the most bitter dettunciations of
Awe claiming tote of his, party. "Straws

Washington CorrOspondence.
WASHINGTON July; 21, 1864. '
DEAR JOURNAL : CoMmencing where
I left off, I made a short trip up the Erie
road which I could not begin to make as
interesting to another as it was to myself,
and one up the Hudson which I could
easily make infinitely mob so if I chose.
Then on one of the hottest of our red
hot days I started on my return by way
of Philadelphia. After a short but very
pleasant sojourn in Baltirnore with some
old friends from Potter, . l at last arrived
at my respectable lodgings juSt in time
to enjoy the "sensation" produced by the ,
late rebel raid. Gen. Thomas called'
out the militia. The patriotic clerks of
the different departments had l'flown to
arms," and looked a formidable defense
of-vt noble city, with their wilted dickeys,
stave pipe hats, and smooth-bore muskets.
Old secessionists of a mathematical turn
of mind were to be seen' on every street
corner, multiplying the ;dangers of our
situation by two and the number of the
raiders by ten The burden of their song
was sagely taken up and' passed along
until W'ashington was frightened. They
deny it now, and say they I were only
"making believe." It that is true I ad
vise the city to take the ;siage in a body.
They "play with great fidelity to nature,
Daring the presence of the enemy oni
the Seventh, Street road, and in the vi-I
einity of Ro3kville, Co., I made frequent
excursions in • those directions as far as
prudence permitted, mid in one or two
instances rather farther: FrOm all the
facts I am able to gathei I have set doivn
the invading force at about 15,000. All
higher estimates, I must regard as exag
gerations, all considerably lower, as the
outbursts of invidious spleen on the part,
of those who would dravv,conselation from
the mortification which 'loyal men must
feel in contemplating this. audacious and ,
successful Rebel enterprise.
Maryland is the theatre of ivide-spread
and.general desolation. There are heavyl
hearts covered by long, faceS to be met
with at every turn. Their 'whining 'is
doleful, especially that of ti* who have
net established . sufficient reputation. for;
loyalty to throw themselvies upon the syre- ,
pathy of the Governmeht and its sup
porters. To say the truth, the pity I
have for them, though kreatr, is not un-'
mixed with blame. They have, in nearly
every individual instance kept up but a
very thin show of surface loyalty; and
have ever been ready to give ;information
and even more substantial aid to the'en-
emy. They have been but too willing to
laud the Confederate leaders to the skies
and to sneer at the "ne'gro q;vorshipers,".
as they have seen fit to name' all loyal
men. The consequence's of their perfidy
have been visited upon themiwith an un
sparing hand,--a friendly &aid withal !
The leaders whose prowess they praise,
have they not picked the bones of their
chickens"? The '_'chivalric Bost" whose
bravery has been the object of their
un
bounded admiration, has it not stolen
their pigs,horses and cows, and plundered
their boot, shoe and hatlstores ? I dread
thit helpless women and children should
suffer, but as far as concerns the men, the
pity I feel for them is the same one feels
for the criminal, in justice condemned to
expiate his crime. Their pleas of friend
liness to the Confederate cane were uni
formly met with heaviei levies, by way of
commutation for the serticesiwhich these
"blind leaders of the blind" supposed
fr:fnd/y seiri4 should render in the
field.
The long talked of 'call ifor 500,0001
men was formally made on the 18th•ult.,
in, accordance With the views expressed
by Gen. Grant.
Considerable gossip has been had here
yesterday and to-day conterning the con
ference between Mr. Greeley and Mr. Geo.
N. Sanders (Confederate Agent), at Ni
agara Falls. The greatest difficulty seems
to be that nobody kno4rs how much to
believe. There is surely enough said.
LCol. .Jaques, of an Illinois regiment;
once a preacher of the Methodist persua
sion, has actually been ):.o lUchitiond and
"talked to" Jeff. Jeff, it is said, was 1
deeply • impressed, and took the quand,ul) -
ejder's hand in Loth of his, and squeezed
it, nothing more. Ad Edmund Kirk,
author of "Among. the Pinea" was along
we may safely look for a book telliaz all

not for a moment distract our, attention

float us again - for 'refusing. This may
seern a tolerably l strotig itatemect, but
"tlie has'nrit been' told." The ass in

as fh6se who prate about "peace" in

Mr.. Howard of bogus "Proclamation"
fame, 'who it is said came in' company.
They went 'up to see the President, and
curiosity Was busy
,as to what . their busi
ness might be. -
I bed' thought to say a word at some
time talent our last Congress. It was in
some respects a remarkable body. Ido
not believe the stories of corruption, but
I fully recognize the fact that a little
more of what we term "pluck"' and what
iScotehmen call "manhood," was needed
to its compesition. Caution, discretion;
policy, are very good qualities for legis
lators especially,but nothing in rough and
rugged times can -fully dompensate for
want of Mental • and moral '"back-bone."
I admire the man whom no interest, not
even the "whiskey interest" can drive
from the support of an important measure.
1 would trespass on your space to add
a word concernitig "our member," Hon.
'James T. "Hale. No man in the House
has more of the confidence of his co.
workers. He iS regarded as a man of
very sound judgment, and his' course of
con.duct is beyond reproach. A plain
man, he lives in plain style surrounded
by hiS ownfamily. He is rather too for
getful of names and faces to be agreeable;
but candor compels me to say that I re
gard that as a weakness. of his, and not
in the !Coat degree intentional on his
part. Lbelieve, he is sincere in his de
sire to do his whole duty by his constit.
nency. Ido not believe the District can
name abetter man, and- in justice to
itself it should return him, as its repro.
sentative in the next Congress.
Weather warm and dry. Crops look

Enrollment; Drafting and Sub-
nititutes, -
Our enrollment or conscription laws
now consist of three separate acts, dating
resp'etively March 3,1863, February 24,
1864, and July 4, 1864. In order, there
fore, to get at the present state of the
laws on the subject of enrollment, draft
ing end subststutes, those acts must be
taken - and read! together , For the ad.
vantage of the public, who are all inter-
ested in the present call forrtive hundred
thousand volunteers, and ha the draft
which will certainly follow on the sth of'
September next, wherever the quota is
not filled up, we have prepared a concise
statement of the law as it now 'stands.
THE NATIONAL FORCES consist of all
able-bodied citizens of the United States
and of all. persons of foreign birth who
have legally declared their intention to'
become citizens, between the ages of
twenty and forty-five years. These terms
now include colored men, and aliens who,'
although not naturalized, may have voted
or held office, as it frequently happens in
the new States of the, West. All of the
persons thus included iu the "National
forces" are liable to military duty upon
call of the President at any time withhil
I the period of two Years from the first day'
of July succeeding the enrollment. By
instructions from the Provost Masital-
General at WaShington, under the pre-'
visions of the Act of February, 1864, the
District Provost Marshals have been au
thorized to add l to the rolls the names of
all those who have arrived at the age of
twenty years between the time of the en
rollment and draft, and' likewise to erase
the names of those who shall have at
tained *the age: of _forty-five before the
wheel is eet in' motion. They are like
wise to add the names of all those ex•
empted under the.Aet of March 3'3,1863,
and all persons who have been discharged
from the army or navy unless they have I
servedit least two years.
THE EXEOTE are reduced to the fol
lowing': _Such persons as are physically
or mentally , unfit for the service; all per
eons actually in. the military or naval ser—
ilee of the United States at the time of
the draft; and all persons who have serv
ed In the` military' or naval service two!
years `during , the present war, and been
honorably discharged. These are the
4,0,4 - Persona exempt hi law. The phrase
silticti-eleilapta! "all persons actually in
eir4f;val service of the United
States - at the time, of 'the draft," stands
-019Ast of February 24,1864, without
qualification. , We,helieqe ) however; it is
h,eld - to exclude
,theone hundred days,"
men, and,"emergeney'l men, though upon
what authority , we &rill not able to say.
110130 case of. the "hundred days' men'
from Ohio, the exclusion from exemption
under the law was upon direct agreement
between the War Department and- tki
Executive of that State.. Ackii' it . will
operate where there is no each: expiess
agreement, is an open questinnove believe.
COMMUTAtION MONEY, in lieu of sub
stitutes, is no longer: permitted, except
is of members of religious denomi
nations who are prohibited from _bearing
arms, by the rules and articles of faith of
such denomination. These may be as
signed to hospital duty or the care of con
trabands, or may pay in each ease the sum
of three hundred dollars for the care of
sick and wounded soldiers.
SUBSTITUTES may be procured by per-
sons enrolled, .before- the draft, or' by
drafted men•after the draft. In the case
of an enrolled man 'who furnishes a sub
stitute , before. the draft, the substitute
must be one Whcris,not liable to enroll
ment. That is, the substitute must be
an alien ; or be must have served at least
two years in the army or navy during
ithie war, and been honorably discharged;
or he must be an inhabitant of Virginia,
North Carolina, Sauth Carolina, Georaia,
Alabama, Mississippi or Texas ; or he
must be n - person now in. the , military or
naval service of the United States, who
has served more thin one year and whose
term of unexpired service - at - the time of ,
substitution shall'not exceed six months;
or he.must be a person over forty-five or.'
under twenty (if the War Department
will accept such). An accepted nob
liable substitute front- any of the forego
ing classes will exempt his principal for
the whole term for which bis substitute
is accepted. In the case of a substitut i e
offered after the draft for a drafted mafi,
the substitute may be selected from those
who are liable to draft, as well as those
who are not liable, but when the substi
tute is liable, the name of the principal
is amain entered on the rolls to be subject
to future calls, but not until the present
enrollment is exhausted.
DRAFTING only takes place in ma the
requisition, of the president is not filled
within fifty' days after the call is made.
The tern of service for drafted men is
one year`. All colonisers and substitutes
down to the day of the draft are to be
credited on the quota and to be deducted
from the number to be drafted. The
number of names to be drawn from the
wheel is to be equal to the deficiency of
the particular Ward or District with one
hundred per cent. added. Drafted men,
voltinteers and substitutes are to be placed
in the military org anizations from theft
own States, 'and asfar as uneticable they
are to have thmr choice./ Able seamen
or ordinary seamen efire drafted ate to
have the privilege Wsting for the same
period in the na . And all enlistments
heretofore ma the army or marine
corps are be
-enrolled in the. wards,
districts y i o., where they belonged at the
time • t 0" enlistment, and are to be cred-
Vree quota.
" . .
II BOUNTIES to volunteers are one
hun d dollars for one year,two,hundred
dollars for two years, and three hundred
dollars for three years; one-third to be
paid at the time of muster, one third when' .
half the term has been served, and the I
remaining 'one third at the time of dis
charge. In case of the death of the vol
unteer while in service '
the residue of
the bounty unpaid! shall be paid to his I
widow, or to his children, or to hip moth
er if she be a widoW.
.„.., t
RECRUITING IN ?TUE- REBEL STATES
is authorized by the third section of the
act of July 4;. 1864, which makesit law
ful for the .Executi4e of any State-to send
recruiting agents :into Vilginia, North
Carolina, South Cdrolina, Georgia; Ala
bama, Mississippi !or Texas, to recruit
volunteers, to .be
,credited on the quota
of the State sending the agent, or on the
sub-division thereoc which may procure
the enlistment. /
This important section will be unavail
able to Philadelphia and Penns}ivania
unless the authoritihs of both bestir them
selves. Already ttie Governor of Massa
chusetts' with an alacrity that looks as if
he bad the advantage of fore-knowledge
of what was coming, has appointed his
agents, and they will have the first sweep
of the field. We ipress it upon our au
thorities to give speedy attention to this
matter.
Such
__ are the p*cipal features of our
laws on the subject; of enrollment, draft
ing substitutosi as they stand under
the three acts above named.

SPECIAL AD VAYTA GE.S' of this LOAN,
It is a Nationo savings Dank, offering a
higher rate of iaterest than any other, and
the
. I,est security. Any savings bank which
paysiti depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is‘paying in the best circulating r i se•
diuM ofthe country, and it cannot pay
thing better, for its own assets arsteither in
goierntnent securities or in notes 'or bonds
payable in government paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or
permanent investment. The notes canitil.
ways be sold for within a fraction of their
face'and accumulated interest ) and,are the
best , zecurity with banks as cOatterals.for
discounts. '

Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Co . Nilonci,,
In addition to the very liberal lute st on
the notes for three years, this privilege of
conversion is now worth aboutihree per cent.
for j the current rate for 5.20 Bonds is not less
than nine per cent. premium, and before the i vrar
the premithn on six per cent. 11. S. stocks was
over twenty per cent. It will be seen that
the actual profit on this loan, MI the present
market rate, is not less than ten - per cent. per
annorn. . - -
Its EXelliptiC42 from . ..?ctte . or ititnicipll . Tctiation.
But aside from all the advintages ire; bare,
enumerated, a special At of Congress ex
empts all bonds and rhasury notes from toed
taxation. On the average, this exemption is.
worth about two percent. per annum, accord
ing to the rate of taxation in various parts of
the country.
' It is believed thit no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as those issued by the
government. • In all other forms of Isiehted
ness, the faith or ability of privaiiparties, or
stock companies, or separate communities,
only, is pledged for payment, while the whole
property of the country is, held 'to secure the
discharge or all the_ obligations of the United
States.
- While the government offers the most liberal
terms for its loans, it believes that the very
strongest appeal will be 'to the lovely and
patriotism of the people.
Depticate certificates will be isitaedfhfiall
deposits. The party deposrting must endorse
upon the original certificate the denomination
of notes required, and whether they are to he
issued in blank or payable to order:. * :.llFhen
