,
rar We notice that a resolution has been
introduced in Congress to confiscate the
property of all persons who evade the draft,
by running away, to an amount sufficient to
procuro for them a suitable substitue.—
"What next ?" as the toad said, when his
tail dropped olf.
THE WAR.
Another attack, it is said will be made upon
Fort Fisher by the navy, It L rumored that
Gen. Grant with a large land force will co
operate. Gen. Thomas is still crossing the
Tennessee River. It is hoped that he will
reach the south bank in safety. Judging
from the length of time he has been doiiig so.
it must be one of the widest bodies,of water
in the world, The news from other quarters
is comparatively unimportant.
car The Court adjourned on Tuesday.
Owing to the absence of P. M. Osterhout E<q
and the illness of Judge Peckham, no civil
causes were tried. Most of the time was oc
cupied in the disposition of cases on the ar
gument 1 st, granting rules, motions,&c.
The Grand Jury found true bills in the
following cases,—Commonwealth vs James
Mullison, charge embezzlement of Public
monies.
Comwth vs Helen Williams, charge assault
and battery.
Comwth vs Rebecca Wilson, charge assault,
and battery. This case was tried, and Del't
acquitted on the ground of insantity. An
order was ruade fur hor removal to the State
Lunatic Hospital.
An indictment was preferred against Simeon
Gay and J. P. Dyuiond, supervisors of Exe
ter Township, charge, not repairing roads.
Bill ignored.
A License was granted to Christopher
Mathew6on to keep a Hotel at Factory villi
Station.
The Grand Jury reported against the
building of a new Jail, "in consequence," as
they said, "of the exhorbitant prices of la
bor and material."
Correct the Enrollment,
The enrollment, we understand, is to be
r eviscd and corrected, previous to the draft
to be made in February next. The Board of
enrollment are to visit each county for that
purpose. Notice of the time of their coming
will of course be given. The of each
Township in the couuty should at once meet
and appoint a committee to make a thorough
canvass of their-respective towns, for the
purpose of fixing their true quotas. Through
the extreme "Loyalty," if not culpable igno
rance, negligence and fraud,of deputy provost
marshals, scores of names,are wrongfully add
ed to the rolls ; thus increasing the quotas by
a false exhibit of names of men who do not
exist, or who are not liable to the draft. AH
persons of the following classes,should be no
ted, that their names may be struck from the
rolls :
All persons who are deceased..
All who have served two years.
All who are in the service.
All non residents.
All under age.
All over age.
All aliens.
The R"ard wish to add to the rolls all who
have arrived at the age of 20, all who were
omitted from last enrollment, and all who
have gained a residence since last enrollment
We presume, too that the names of all per
sons, manifestly, pennanontly disqualified by
reason of physical disability, would upon ap
plication aud proof be stricken from the rolls.
All such may save themselves a trip to Troy,
and considerable expense, by giving attention
to this matter; and at the same time reduce
the quota of their townships. Now that an
opportunity is afforded, to remedy one of the
greatest evils connected with this "infamous"
conscription act, let the committees and all
others interested meet the board with their
proofs end insist that a correct enrollment be
made.
The matter should be attended to at once.
Among other incidents of the Sher
man campaign through Georgia, the following
discreditable story is told of some of the
western soldiers. A foraging party visited a
plantation and entered upon the pleasant
passtimc of strangling chickens and bayonet
ing hogs. Finding a fine flock of sheep tluy
"went for them/' as the boys say, when the
rebvl owner came out and told them to take
alt but two imported merino sheep, which
•ho highly prized. Having pointed the pets
out to the men, she returned to the house
A few minutes after she says, they rctucned
informedJher that t hey had killed the petted
sheep, and proposed to dine upon it. Said
they. "Madam®, give us the piano; it is a
sacrilege to cook so choice a mutton with
common fuel." The piano, she av C rs, was
carried out, broken up. the fire kindled in
the yard, and dinner highly relished by the
clly foragers.

'fcie Coming Dralt,
General Grant's "glorious" campaign re- j
! suited in a conscription f;r 300,000 men;
and the announcement of Gen. Sherman's
! splendid achievement is accompanied by a
j call for 300,000 more.
i The If'orhl and other Dem oralic journal
were temporarily suppressed ! >r anticipating
I the President's former proclamation, ai d
; previous to the lite election every McCTellsn
man was denounced as a rebel sympathizer,
and a traitor, who dared to give utterance to
! his convictions that in the event of Mr. Lui
j coin's ro-elect.i in another draft w< ul i be ic
| evitable. Nut only did the lesser iuhts of j
| Abolitionism howl themselves -hemselvt- j
! hoarse with the old Cnrtin shibboleth, '"\ oe j
| the Republican ticket, and avoid the draft,"
, but those high iir power, and who ought to
! have been good authority upon such subjects
i reiterated again and again the pledge-that no
more Conscriptions would be necessary, and
: none would be enforced. Secretary Seward
i made a point of this promise in his Auburn
| speech, and Solicitor Y> biting assured th®
! country that the last draft hal been success
ful aud that the government had obtained all
the men, and even more than was needed to
capture Richmond and finish up the Rebel!
ion. The people took these gentlemen at
their word, and have re-elected Mr. Lincoln,
j The reward follows even more promptly than
was anticiprted by the most ultra Copper
j head; but it has come, and, though we may
| not expess a disappointment we do not fee!,
! we may at lca-t be permitted to give utter
ance to a genuine condemnation of the miser- j
able falsehoods resorted to by the imbeciles
in power to insure a retention of their hold
upon the public purse and the public throat.
Since February last—considerably loss
than one year—the Administration has is
sued calls, and ordered draft, f>r a million i
and a half of men. In February the Presi- j
dent "called" for five hundred thousand vol - !
unteers, all deficiencies to be supplied by a I
| draft. On the 13th of March he ordered a
draft for two hundred thousand men, to
meet the immediate necessities of the army
and navy." On the 10.h of July another
draft was ordered f r a half million of men :
1 and now wu h&vo another call for three bun- •
• 1 i
l ! dred thousand mote.
, ! Mi. Lincoln is yet filling his unexpired'
. first term, and has been designated by tin
j chosen electors of the Union as the iucum
, j bent of the presidential chair fur four year.-
longer. Hi s soldiery are air-ady stat tn i
in every county, and are engaged in hunting
down the desperate victims of firmer con-'
. scripticns. The families of those who have
. already been enticed or f >rced into the wa r
are begging f r an increase of the scanty j it
, tance allowed them by B ards of Relief.—
j Those able-bodied men who can are flying
. from their h uncs and seeking freedom in a
monarchy. Conscription, tsxer, desolation
and want keep pace with each other, and the
time is not far distant when the almost uni
uersal sentiment will be, "Give us any kind
t of peace rather than thi- 'aim! d v.i-u'iug
, war." Ia that day "they who have .- >w
the wind shall reap thewhuln : I,"
Of one thing the, pnwt-rs thai b - m.i
assured: the people wdl not eubmit </:'• :ty
to another draft bofi re tl. y I ,ve ruived
some satisfactory response to ihe foil wine;
i
inquiries, which cannot fad to sn/gc-! them
i selves to every ret! voting mis 1.
J First : If the draft under the I-.t call f r
i 500.000 men was enforced to the letter, the
| government assured the people it would b .
and as the country suppose 1 it bad been—
r
what has become of the men, and whence tin
need of another draft ! According to It
lowest estimate of Secretary .Stanton, and aft
' er deducting ail claims S.B<! drawbacks from
p
every quarter, the dralt was to produce not
less than 300,0o0men; and as "all that Gen
Grant asks for the capture of Richmond, and
♦o give the finishing blow to the rebel armie
yet in the field, is 100.0;; I men." the remain
ing 200,000 would "be adequate for garrison
tn forts, and to guard all the lines ofcoinmu
nicalion and supply, free the coun'ry from
guerrillas, give security to trade, piotect c nu
0 niercc and travel, and establish peace, order
u and tranquility in every State."
n Second : If the draft vas not enforced *ac
1 cording to the programme laid down with
~ I such a flourish of trumpets by the g< vern*
• j incut, why vas it not 1 And it by should
" j the government talk ab >ut another draft u:t
'• J til it enforces the last one in all localitie
' ; where a deficiency yet remains 1 It is nor
1 j to be supposed, after the emphatic assurar.ee
! of governtront officials to the contrary, that
1 j the President refrained from enforcing tlu*
L , | draft in any locality before the election for
I ; political reasons, and yet we have heard of
j supplementary drafts in Washington and of
a draft ordered, and then postponed, in
" | Kentucky. What is the meaning of these
| reports? Is it true that the last draft still
' ; remains unenforced in any part of the coun
Jtrv ? If so, the government can't be too
- I quick in completing it, and until thtv do
; this, there should bono talk of enforcing
-• another draft in those Sta'es which have filled
i their quotas.—E.c.

To Those who occupy the place ot Preach- i

Y'-t! have declared from the sacred desk is :
!! at "tl• ; > war has been brought oh Us by t!
God as a divine chastisement to bring us to C
repentance, or to humble us." It shall be ii
my business to show, that this assertion lias p
not been Verified in the progress of this War. y
But to the contrary, also to show, that jour e
1 course in this Wat has been nefarious—and , p
j deserving of the highest censure.
First, we allege there has been no repent- j C
I once, or humility manifested 6uice this war j t
i began, except by widows and orphans. j f
The mere acta of,thanking God fur success- t
fu! tr.au slaughter is no demonstration cf.hu- r
I utility. Ever since this war commenced, we t
have been making rapid progress in fully, |
vice, shame, and marked profligacy.
Every day brings additional animosities ;
and embittered feelings. Neighbors who 1
used to respect and esteem each other, now j
stigmatize and curse each other. Ilatc has (
ripened into revenge, aud men seek to do- ]
a troy one another, even men who profess
Christianity, pray for their neighbor's de- i
struct ion, and laugh at his misfortune. llow f
abandoned aud reckless humanity has be (
come. We, as a Nation, at this time arc |
plunged deeper into the Gulf of dumoraliza- 1
tion than ever before. Re ligion is at a lower (
ebb to day, in these once United States than t
ever kn nvn since the "days of the Pilgrims." ,
Vital piety is almost a stranger in the land,
and you, you who should have stood lirin un ]
llinching in the cause of Christ have shown •
I yourself a band of political demagogues.— |
i r ou have adv> cated abolitionism from the ,
pulpit, and through the press, and in your
en husiastie striving for the negro, you have
lust sight of your country and your calling,
and aie not deserving of the title which you 1
bear. Some of you have stooped so low as i
to cull Democrats "coppeiheads," and laugh
wh n litis odious epithet is applied to a Dcm
uciat. Fur such preachers I have no sympa
thy, and say to you, "the devil desires to
h ve y> u that be may sift you as wheat,"—
And more than this, most of you can see
nothing hut cannon and glittering swords.
! and trust in nothing hut abolitionism and
i Union Leagues, It is tetnarkablc you do not
' :et nearer to the bat tie-field than these
leagui •. except a few who have gone out as
chaplain . or who have succeeded in persuad
ing their members into a company of which
ihey are Captain or Lieutenant, and unforru- |
na'ely for the poor members, they become j
subjects instead of members. I would say to j
, jon in the language of Parson Brownlow,
••hya'ty leads to the field." And if you,
would have us believe you are [patriotic and j
loyal n.er ; "dry tip" and start to the field I
of cb ;>d!y conflict and help to free your black
brethren.
Relieve tnc i r not, harm, and only harm,
has been the result of your effort. You have
caused distentions in the Church ; instead
of saving the Church you arc destroying it.
Y.,u are break r.g down that which you cov
enanted with God to build up : you know
it, yt u have seen it. and if you d" not foibear
j irretrievable ruin will be the doom ot the

TIM F. G. OF THE C. C. AND THE WOUND
, r. o Soi.in EH.— \mong the many humorous
, things from tlie army, the best we have
i j have heard is one related of a certain pious
j- gcr.tletnau connected with that good and wor
i | thv institution, the Christian Commission,
j which is to this effect. The P. G. of the C.
I\ was on a vis.t to the hospitals near \<<rk
, town, giving consolation and courage to the
po r fellows who have been w< uuded, or
| taken ill while in the trenches before Rich*
inond. Seeing one soidier who seemed to be
almost dying, the good man approached him,
and after inquiring as to his disease, he in a
most pious and feeling manner beseeched the
dying man to iv-ign himself to his fate, and
I - °
to ask lorg'v ne.-s for his sins, and closed his
, | exhortation bv asking him if he knew who
| bis Heavenly father was? This was toe
much for tho exhausted condition of the
, ■ wourdi d hi r >'s intellect, and with a look of
theTuo-t perfect astonishment and contempt,
after viewing the pious pilgrim from to
fot lie exclaimed in a feeble, sickly voice,
'Well, now, ain't this "a purty time to be
ask in 1 a f<!'. r conumd, urns !" The P. G
of rl:e C. C. lias returned home, and laments
the deim ralizir.g tendencies of camp life.

ulnr irstitution. even though it is an admin
trillion measure, and whatever was an ad
ministration measure was endorsed by the
people at the last election. No erics in op
position to it are more frantic, aud, apparent
ly, more heartfelt, and tliose of the "loyal"
pre--. With perfect unanimity they concede
> that prt \i us drafts have boon a failure, and
that volunteering is both more remunerative
to the G< veninient and preferable to the

the load of debt which is aecuinlating by
rca-on of self imposed local bounties, but
they are scathing tlmse who have grown
rich off the war and arc able to buy substi
tutes or are too old to serve. The "loyal j

PORK AND REEF AT CHlCAGO.— Chicago is
n earnest rivalry with Cincinnati in the bu
siness of meat packing, claiming that she is
the "porkopolis" of the present day. The j ]
Chicago Times anticipates that the business J
in pork-packing in the west will be more im- j
portant this year than ever—not that there !
will be a greater number ofanimals slaughter
ed, but because of the extraordinary prices .
prevailing. It says :
"There wll probably not be less than 3,- I
000,000 hogs packed in various portions of
the country, and at au average weight of 220 ,
pounds, each hog will be worth §20,40, and
the total number worth over seventy nine
million dollars, and if Chicago packs 800,000,
which is not an extravagant estimate, her
proportion of the business will be over twen t
ty-oue millions !"
Last year Chicago packed 904,059 hogp— j
This year, since the commencement of the j
packing season, (from Oct. Ist to Dec. 4th,)
Chicago received 504,214 hogs, and shipped
131.055, leaving fur the packers 372.559, which (
shows only a moderate deficiency compared
with the same months in 1803. Chicago al
so claims the foremost rank among western :
cities in the beef packing interest, having
packed last year over 70,000 head, worth at
least §4,000,000. This season the busines is
expected to in crease largely, as the packers
already have 02,000 animals, which is an ex ,
eess of more than 5000 in favor of ISGL
As regards the salt used in packing, a pre ,
fcrence is given to the Onondaga, compared i
with the Saginaw, on account of the latter
having no uniform grade. Michigan should
see that suitable inspectors are appointed.
Muruered by Guerrillas,
Capt. R. M.McCoimick, son of Mr. R. Me
Connick, of Milton, Aetiug Brigade Inspector
of the 7til Penna. Cavalry, was, along with j
the Surgeon of the same regiment, was lately i
murdered in Kentucky, by a band of guerril- ,
las. The dee'd, when killed, was sitting in j
the*parlor of a farmhouse in company with
the family. When the guerrillas rode up the
owner of the house went out and stated to
the leader of the band, that there were two j
Union officers inside who would surrender.—
The Captain of the hand replied, "we take no j
prisoners," and straightway, inhumanly sh t .
both Capt. MeCormick and the Surgeon.—
The Capt's remains were brought home this
week to his distressed parents.
Capt. M. was well known lu re, having for
merly studied law under E. 11. Baldy, E-q. j
He was a gentleman of fine manly qualities ,
kiid his death will be lamented by aH who j
had the pleasure of his acquaintance.— Dan
viile Intelligencer,
IMPOBTANT RUMORS. —Says the N. \
World : "It is known in Washington tiia
England has been quietly organizing a large j
force of men, to be held in readiness for
some important duty. An order, moreover,
is known to have been issued, peremp'orily
refusing leaves of abserce to the officers of ;
several of the best regiments of the K ielish j
army, and the recent maivelous promptness
of Canadian au'hoiitiz-s in raising men,
even at the expense of an enforced draft, un
der the pretext of an apprehended invasion
by the Fenians, is thought to point clearly to
the fact that they had been instructed to'
seize the first opportunity of organizing all
available forces fui any emergency."
—
citizens have by this time learn
ed many new war phtazes, but the new
order recently issued by General Grant has
been construed as follows :
"On tu Richmond," that's tu say, if the
bussed rebels will allow it.
"Parallel lines," are them kind of lines
that never cum together.
"Military necessita,"— ten officejs and a
ealon of whisky to every three privates.
"Onluce tiie dogs of war but muzzle the
darn kritters ; if you don't, somebody wil
git huit.
"War of Exterminashun," —this fraze be
longs holey tew the Kommissary Depart
uient.
"Advance Guard" —this is a gard tha hav
to hav in our army, to keep our fellers from
pitchin in tu the enema frontwards.
"Eere Gard"—this is a gard tha hav tu
keep our fullers from pitchin intu the enonia
backwards,
"Awl quiet on the Pottermuck"—this
shows what perfect subjection our fullers are
under.
"Pickets"—thesearc chaps that are sent
out tn borry tur'oackcr of the enama, and tu
ee if the cussed rebels has got a pass.
THE PRICE or NEWSPAPERS.—The Rucks
county Newspapers have raised their sub
scription price to §3 a year, with a deduction 1
of 50 cts. if paid in advance. The same thing j
has been done, as a matter of necessity, by !
the papers of several other counties. At the
present rate of expenses, no newspaper can
be printed, and yield its publishers a living, i
for less than §3 a year. If the paper makers' j
monopoly continues, all weekly new spapers
w ill be compelled to go up to §3 a year, or
slop.— Sunbury American.
Alarming Desertions from the Federal Ar
my,
[From the Hartford Press, (Republican)
We speak of what we know when we say ,
that more men, on the James, desert from
our side to the rebels than desi rt from the
rebel side to ours. Day after day we are
filling our quota with scoundrels, theives, .
jail birds, hand dog bounty jumpers, known j
to be such by the substitute brokers, and
often by the officers whose business it is to
stop such outrageous swindling. Every day
hundreds of these rogues are sent to the
front. They do not add anything to the ar
my. They weaken it. They cannot be trust
ed, either as guards or pickets, or to go into
a skirmish or battle. They steal what they
can and then desert.
