___—_,I.TDDE_N-DRATEI.—We are pained to
announce, the sadden death of our esteemed
townsman, Di. JAMES' BROTEIERTOX,
which occurred on Tuesday morning left. -
The Doctor had been unwell for about a week
irevions-to-Sunday, at z -whieh -time he-took
his bed. Drs. OcMg, lerrkfand Frantz
were early summoned to his bedside but all
--- efßittifft . hlieliel proved unavailing, and
he expired about 11 o'clock on Tuesday.—
The Doctor had" been engaged in the prac-
tiee of medicine here for 20 years or perhaps
upwards. During this time ho had an ex
t ensire practice and it was a farent that the
arduous labors connected with his profession
bad produced their effects upon his constitu
rendering_him_more—easily_the_vietim

prime of life and in the midst of usefulness

nity . gcnerally. We gi-eatly sympathize with
liis . ufileted wife, pare'n'ts and otherbereaved
friends, upon whom the sore hand of afllie
tiOn has been thrice laid within the last two
years.
THE DRAFT.—OnIy ten days remain to fill
the quota of our Borough and Township un
der the draft for 500,000 men ordered to tike
place on the sth of September, and yet,
strange to say, nothing is being done by our
citizens. Weeks ac,o ug t - ••
o some plan by which the quota might be
filled, and had measures been adopted then
we would have been relieved of all anxiety
on this point, It is unaccountable to us that
citizens should sit with their folded hands to
this late hour and permit parties from other
districts to enter our very town and enlist
men for a paltry sum to be accredited else-
where. ' Ten days are yet left, and if ALL
will go to w i g* earnestly and contribute as
they should, enlisting the Services of active
men for this purpose, we are firmly persua
ded that at least the quota of the Borough
enn be filled before the sth. Certainly our
community isas fully able to furnish a local
bounty as other districts. Will not those li
able to the draft contribute? We have talk
_e'd to many within the last, week in reference
to the matter and iu every instance the re
sponse has been favorable Who then will
take the matter in hand, at once. The.tim . e
is too short for further delay. Lt. W.. R.
Kreps is enlisting for the 17th Bog. Penna.
Cavalry and will fill the quota as rapidly as
we furnish the necessary bounty. There are
,doubtless a host of young men in our own
section who will yet . enter the service soon
er than run the riSk.of being drafted. Let
us be up and doing then and have them *red
, ited to either our town or township. _Who
,
will wonw? -
• CA)to.. GORDON.— Our old friend, Capt.
D. S. GORDON, of the 2d U. S. Cavalry, paid
our sanctum a short visit one day last week.
The Capt. received a slight wound early in
campaign but continued on duty with the
Army of the. Potomac until quite recently,
and on account of sickness was granted a
furlough to visit his family and recruit his
health. The Capt. has seen hard service
since the commencement orthis wicked re•
hellion and well merits this respite from du
ty. He ii ii gallant officer and we trust his
nay be prolonged and , that he may be
instrumental in dealing the treacherous and
Insolent foes of , our country still more effec
tive blows.
ON A VISIT.—Our gallant friend, Capt.
L. B Ktrnrz of Co'. o.llth Penne Cavalry
paid his family a flying visit on Wednesday
- lit; rtrd - was-warirtly--welcOmed-by-our-eiti
tens generally. The Capt. is the picture of
health and in fine spirits, confident of the fi
lial full or the Rebel. Capitol, and the speedy
suppression of the.liebellioa. ' Lt. II Bone

CUT ins Fantais.--During one. of the
recent returns of the Rebels to-. this place,
they visited our County Prison and liberated
and took with them a man named Cramer,
who was awaiting trial for the killing of a
man by the name: of Wright. Cramer, we
learn, accompanied them • as far as
William
sport, but after making a careful survey of
his new associates, came to the conclusion
that he was in rather disreputable company,
and that his- repttation would be likely to
suffer if he zontinuod longer in their socie
ty. He accordingly returned and surrender
ed himself to the civil authorities, swearing
that he would 'ether die on the gallows or
rot in a prison than associate with such a
crew et unmitigated scoundrels as he found
under the flag of the 'Southern Confedera
cy.' Although he stood charged. 'with one
of the highest offences known to onr law. he
was unwilling to follow their. fortimeaand
become partner in their guilt.—Hagerstotcn

the United States have certainly earned 3000
millions wore than we have spent apart from
the-war--The:cost-of-thi3—war—may,be—set
down at 2000 millions. ' Deducting this from
our
. net earnings, the People who are seettri
t •fo •;this loan are - 'loooThrillions richer to
day than they were when.the war broke out.
No other .investment can-.be so easily eon
vertible.• , Tho man who has a Treasury note
for $5O. or $lOO, or $lOOO, can turn. it -into
money more readily, and upon better terms,
than if it were invested upon bond and mort
gage; or in railroad stocks. • ,
The interest offered is higher than can be
realized from any other sale and convertible
investment. It is, moreover, readily eolloc.
table when due. To each note arc affixed
five "coupons," or interest tickets, duo at the
ex 'a •ar.
• e
holder of a note/ has simply to eut off• one of
these couponsi;present.it at the nearest bank
or Government Agency, and receive his, in
terest; the note itself need not be 'presented
at all. 'Or• a• coupon thus payable will every
where be equivalent, when due, to money.
Thus, while this loan.presents great advan
tages to large capitalists,sit offers•'special• in
•ducements to those who• wish to.make a safe
and profitable investment of small saving.—
It is in every way the best 'Savings' Bank;
for everyinstitution of this kind must mime
how invest its deposits profitably in order to
pay interest and expenses. , They will invest
largely in this loan, as the best, investment.
But from the gross interest which they re
ceive they must deduct largely for the ex
penses of the Bank. Their usual rate of in.
terest allowed to depositors is 5 per cent.
upon sums over s`soo. The persan whO in
vests directly with Government will receive
almost 50 per. cent, more. Thus the man
who deposits 81000 in ,a private Savings'
Bank receives 50 dollars a year interest ; if
he deposits the same, sum in, this , National
Savings' Bank he receives 73 dollars. For
those who wish tofind a safe, conVenient,and
profitable means or investing the surplus earn
ings which they have reserved .for their old
ago or fur- the benefit of their children, there
is nothing which fzesents so many advanta
ges as this National Lean:
It is Convertible into a six per cont., gold
bearing bend. At the' expiration 701 three
years wholder of the notes. of the 7.30 loan
has the option of aceepthig payment in full
or of funding` his notes in a siz-per cent..gold
interest bend, the, principal. payable in 'not

During Saturday our ineriliad strengthen

echelon.
a small fore& of the enemy
were seen moving, as if to make an attack on
the 9th Corps, but a few woll•directed shells
sent them out'of sight father quicket — thr
they had advanced.' .
Shortly. after a strong column emerged
from the woods on the "left of' the tiailroad,
and forming iri line ehargett oii what they
believed tu be our left flank, but whibh prov
ed to be the left of General Ayres' Arent
lino
They advanced in;fiue style and with the
utmost confidence, evidently thinking tho
work before them was an easy one, but what
was their surprise in discovering a second
line behind and extending to the loft of the
first, from which a row of bayonets glisten,
with a battery on the left and anotheron the
right, pouring a cross fire into their ranks,
almost every discharge causing large' vacan
cies in their line. • .•
As soon as they,discovered tbeoritical po
sition in which they were placed, the entire
command made signs to indicate their wil
lingness to surrender, and the order to cease
firing was passed along the breastworks, but
as soon as they discovered this,i large por
tion of them broke and started for the woods,
the remainder coming, in and surrendering
hemselves. . ,
The batteries * sent several messengers af
ter the retreatingßarty, many of whom em
braced mother earth instead of reaching their
lines, and still remain where they. fell,. our
guns covering the entire field and preventing
the bodies from being carried away.- ,
The troops who made the attack ,consisted
of Hoke's division and Busked Johnson's
division of Hill's corps, being principally
South Carolinians and IClisaissippians.
Among the prisoners•is one colonel,' three
lieutenant colonels, uudthirly-seves,,entttins
and lieutenants. .
