The committee and agents of the or ganization are laboring faithfully. We are compelled, in candor, to notice one thing in the reports of the soliciting committees, viz: that they have not - met with the encourage ment they Should receive. Why do persons refuse to contribute ? Some are to be excused because they have not the means, and from such the will must be accepted for the deed To there our remarks db not apply. Some ob jest to giving upon the ground of being op posed to all war. We would not have them violate their conscience upon any account. They occupy a Strange position. The Friends or Quakers have always expressed a desire to forward the destinction of slavery. Yet at this moment when " the powers that be," to which they acknowledge allegiance, are in peril, and while the south is trying to destroy the old government, and erect a new one upon the cornner stone of slavery. Where do the Friends stand ? Their annual circular says, it is their duty to refuse to pay anything to. wards the support of the war, because their testimony hes always been against war. They advise even that commutation money should not be paid. They are thereby brought into hostility to the government. Would it not be better to break away from the "traditions of the elders," then refuse to assist the authorities which protect them. But there are others who have not either of the foregoing excuses to urge, and yet who de cline giving. The owner of lands and proper ty along the Border needs'protection. Every regiment, nay every soldier sent to the army makes that property more secure. Then . why fio they dot contribute of their abundance.— Example is more potent than precept. If these persona refuse, there are others who will with more reason, refuse also. Ilow will they be regarded by the poor man who has paid his last dollar to this object? What respect can they receive in the community where they are known ?--and they will be known. But there are others who are in the draft themselves, and yet do not give. What is their motive ! We do not believe they want to be.drafted, at least we have, never seen a man who did. It is a low and sordid motive. They want the quota filled, but they want their kindhearted, generous and liberal neighbors to dothe work and pay the money. Is not this the reason With all the bright prospects before us for filling the quota of Antrim, the work may fail, for want of funds. Then who shall be drafted. to fill the deficit? Not the men who have used their time and money to put soldiers into the army. Not they, but those who have not contributed of their means must stand the draft. Honor, justice and Ben• timent demand it. The Antrim organization at the last meeting, provided that in case the quota was not filled, arid that any of its members should be drafted, the organizatiea stood pledged to see them out. The case is clear. One of three things must be done ; join the army, pay four hundred 'dol lars after the draft or pay but a small portion of this sum now. Men, of Antrim ! " choose ye this day." Those who do their duty will receive the plaudits of our entire community ; while those who lag behind and shirk their duty, will re ceive the scorn they richly merit. With stout hearts and willing bands, the 'work cannot fail. If one-half is done that ought to be done, in three days the quota can be filled. TROUBLE IN EUROPE. When the rebellion in America broke out, there.was a general shout of exultation from the aristocrats of gurope. They proclaimed aloud that the bubble of democracy had buret —that the Great Republic was a failure They scarcely attempted to conceal their joy at our discomfiture and troubles. A little Greencastle, Franklin county, Pa THE PILOT :--GREENCASTLE, FRANKLIN CO.. PA., r.ERB - u..-uty 2, li-36.1 more than two years has gone by, and the Re• public has proved itself no failure, the bubble of democracy in America has not burst, our troubles are lightened and the end of them is about at hand, while the fires of discord have been lighted. up all over Europe, the Revolu tion is moving and shaking thrones, the aristo crats are trembling, and monarchy is about to be weighed in the balance again. That a general European war is anticipated may be seen front the English press and the newspapers of every continental nation. And i that this anticipation is wen founded is proved' by the fact that there is now a great revulu tion in progress in Poland, that all Germany is in a ferment on the Sehlesing-Holstein diffi culty, that inflammatory appeals are spread abroad through all Hungary, that the late elections in France have resulted in favor of the patriots as against the Empire, and that the French emperor, who is commonly regard ed as very astute and far-seeing, has called for a European Congress to settle all disputes and re-adjust the map of Europe, that a general war way be avoided. In addition to the many perplexing and complicated questions presented by the affairs of the continent, England has a new source of -trouble in another great rebellion in According to late reports the affairs of that de. pendency are in an alarming state. The pop ulation of India is estimated at 137,000,000, or more than four times that of the United States. All these millions are ruled.by about 126,000 Englishmen. About 4,000,000 of the Indians are friendly to British domina tion ; the remainder are coerced into obedi enze.. This is a monstrous and unnatural con dition of affairs, and cannot last long; for the natives, by contact with Europeans, are gradu ally coming up to their level, and every day therefore makes the tenure of British rule more insecure. Oue rebellion after another way be put down, but finally the natives must regain their government, and England be de prived of her vast East Indian possessions. A general . European war would be a great evil, and the most cruel could not rejoice at tlie..prospeet, if itinight.be in any way avoid ed without sacrificing the sacred cause .of lib erty: But the danger of such a war may have good . effects in favor of our government. It guarantees us against foreign intervention. It is true that danger had pretty well passed away before, but an additional security will not be disregarded. France and England, at peace and with nothin , 2 , to do might .ive us trouble yet, but with so much on hand as each of thew has. now, they cannot do so, collectively or singly. Although we will not mock at the calamities of the European ruling classes as they did at ours, yet: weare not sorry that they are finding enough at home to occupy their at tention. It is probable that they will hereaf ter mind their own business, silica that will af ford them ample employment. - The Franklin Rail Road. The Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the.

The Filling of Pennsylvania Regiments —Proclamation of Gov. Curtin. HEADQUARTERS, P. M., ADJ'T. GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT, HARRISBURG; Jao. 21st 1863. The War Department has authorized Major General Winfield S. Hancock, and Major General Ambros E Burnside, two of the most distinguished. Commanders in our Army, to re cruit the Second and Ninth Army Corns, now under their , respective commanders, to fifty thousand men each, for such duty as maybe specially assigned to said Corps by the War Department, I address myself to the patriotic and loyal citizens of Pennsylvania, earnestly invoking them to lend their active aid to Gene rals Hancock and Burnside, in the prosecution of such measures as they may adopt. under the regulations of the War Department, govern• jug. curia:went in this State to fill up the Penn sylvania regiments and batteries of these no ble Corps They comprise the following Pennsylvania regiments and batteries, viz: In the Second Army Corps, commanded by 111ajor Gen. Hancock, are the 53d, 69th, 71st. 72d, 71st, 106th, 116th, 140th, 154, and 148th regiments, and Independent batteries C and F. and batteries F and G of the Ist Pennsylvania artillery.

They left their plantation, near Orange Court House. on Monday, crossed the Rapidan near railroad in boats. Five or six of their original number were captured by the Rebels, before crossing A review of ailpatrick's Cavitlry Division with field exercise, was held to-day. Genera Gregg, temporarily in cotunsand of the'Cavalr Corps, and numerous lady visitors, were in at temlance. Shots are occasionally exchanged between the pickets on the Rapid in, but no casualties have lately been reported on our side.; Cincinnati, Jan. 2S.—A special despatch to the Commerdal, from Chattanooga, says: "Johnston's Army has fallen back from Dal ton. Colonel Burke, of the Tenth Ohio Regi ment, with a flag of truce, went out forty fire miles but could find no enemy. "The Rebel advance picket were near King. ston, fort, miles south of Dalton, probably to cover the retreat.. 'Cheatham's Division went there on Wednesday. Several unimportant cavalry raids had been made to cover their movements." The Gazette's Nashville despatch says that persons who left Knoxville on Saturday, re port skirmishing between Longstreet's cavalry and ours No doubt is felt that Knoxville can he held It is reported that John Morgan, with seven reginients of cavalry, will make a raid into Kentucky through the Gaps in the eastern part of the State. • $20,084 07 1450 Washington, Jan. 27.—The following des patch has been received at the Head quarters of the Army:— 5, 167 65 Chattannooga, Jan 27—Major-General Hal leek, General.in-Chief :—Colonel Borne, with a force of four hundred and fifty men of the Twenty-eighth Kentucky (mounted) Infantry. and the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, attacked the camp of the gotne .

Johnson's Brigade, of Roddy's command, crossed the Tennessee River three miles above Bainbridge and six miles above Florence, in tending to make a junction with a brigade of infantry, who were expected to cross the river at Lamb's and Brown's Ferries, and thence proceed to capture our forces there. We en gaged them, killing fifteen and wounding a number, including three commissioned officers . Our loss is ten wounded, (Signed) Governor &c., THE NEWS. BENJ. F. BUTLER, Maj.•Geu. Commanding GEO. H. THOMAS, Maj.-C en. Commanding Nashville. Jan. 27.—Later information from Gen. Dodge, at Pulaski, Tenn., under date of January 26th, says the enemy crossed the Tennessee river last night and attacked Athens this morning, and were defeated. They are now trying to reeross the river. The troops at. Athens had mostly gone to Florence to attack Johnston's force crossing there, and Col. Har rison, with six bundred Rebels and two guns, took advantage of their absence. Still later advices say that Dodge has whipped Johnson very badly at Florence. In all probability the raid is at an end.

Several of our Greencastle boys have come up to visit their friends and families.— tVe presume others will be ltere in a day or two.

We hope the agent may meet with good success. He is a young man of honor, energy and.intelli gence. Book Store.—Mr. FETTSRHOFF has fitted up handsomely, a room in his building on West Bald. more street, for a Book Store. Tie is just now opening a large stock of Books. Stationery, &c.-- Ile intends to make'this one of the "institutions" of the town. Anything in his line Can be purchased RS cheap from liimas in any other place. The telegraph office has been removed to the same room SINCE the Borough recruiting organization ceased its labors, several veteran soldiers have re-enlisted. an 4. we understand have been placed to the credit of the Borough. Ought they not. receive a bounty? The funds of the organi!ation are exhausted. Now is the time for property holders to do something The money previously raised was obtained only from persons subjeot to the draft. embracirg less than a tenth of the property holders. Let the Council appropriate a sufficient sum to do what we propose. Rectuiting.—Recr-titing is now going on more actively in Pennsylv tnia, than at any period since the first great outpouring in 1861. Some veteran regiments have re-enlisted to a man, while of others three-fourths WI. re-enlist. The "six month's' men, toe,,are going again as a general thing. In Franklin county - there is cons.iderable enthusiasm manifested in recruiting. Every town ship is trying to fill'her quota. Some eight or ten have already done se, and thereat will, no doubt. complete the work this week. Under recent decisions from the War Department, volunteers can be cre dited to those districts from which they may receive local bounties; and this has facilitated matters very much, It it not only veterans who are re enlisting, but many who have never been in service before have now gone to assist and hold up the hands of the victorious soldiers of the Republic. Thus our armies will be filled, and be prepared to make the final overthrow of the rebellion in the next summer's campaign. So mote it be. Juvenile Coneert.—A grand Concert will be given in laim's HALL,•on this 'fiE,SDAY) evening. I ohnson' s celebrated Oratoria, the "Palace of In dustry," will be sung and performed by sixty. boys, aad girls. The piece is designed to illustrate the poetry of labor. It opens with a number of boys and girls in school, reciting lessons, &c. In the second part they suddenly change'to men and *women per funning the customary branches of industry. The loud ring of the blacksmith's anvil; and other instru ments of music all keep time with song. • ,A number of beautiful songs will be sung.. The exercises will be varied ; and interesting to all who may attend. 'We urge upon our people to give a good attend ance, not only because the merits of performance demand, but further for the reason that the teacher —Prof. R. A. APCLunu—has generously offered to give the juvenile class a course of instructions free of charge. No reasonable objection whatever can be made against this concert. Remember this is the night. Forensic Rebuke.—A singular' occurrence took place a short time since, in one of our courts of justice, abmirably illustrative of the genius of our country and of the independence of our bar. In the course of• trial, a young and very talented lawyer, in examining a witness asked a question which the Judge considered - improper, and would not-suffer to be put. In the progress of the case, the Judge took occasion to ask the very question of the witness which he had interdicted to the counsel, whereupon.that gentleman rose and respectfully protested against the question being put, on the ground of his having been prevented doing so by the Bench "Sir," said the Judge, rather austerely, "I shall mit whatever question I think prcper in my court." "Your court, Sir," replied the baris ter, "I deny it. to be so ; it is my client's court ; it is my court ; it is the people's court, and not your's."
