TO OBEY TUE DRAFT e -M udh speculation is evinced what will become of those who have been drafted and ne glect or refuse to serve. The state and national laws on the subject "come down" to about this : " Every officer, non-commissioned of ficer, or private of the militia, who shall fail to obey the orders of the President of the 'United blates * * shall forfeit a sum not exceeding one year's pay, and not less than one month's pay, to be determined and adjudged by a court martial * * * ; and such non-commissioned officers and privates shall be liable to be imprisoned by a like sentence, on failure of payment of the fines adjudged against them, for one calender month for every five dollars of such fine." It has been decided by the Supreme Court of this State, that those who dis obey the requisition are not employed in the service so as to be liable to the articles of war, but that they are liable to be tried by a court martial, under the above act. Such court martial must be constituted under the authority of the United States. sr General James died a few days since, at Sag Harbor, Long Island, from the effects of injuries received by the ex plosion of a shell, during a trial of his new projectiles. The General was well known as the inventor of a rifled can non, and projectiles adapted to it, which have been much used in the United States service. Re was a citizen of Rhode Island, and represented that State in the United States Senate from March, 1857, till March, 1857. He was the builder of the Lancaster Cotton Fac tories and at one time owned one of them. air All the school houses in Louis ville, are now used for hospital purposes and the schools discontinued. The churches will be devoted to similar pur poses if necessary, and the Journal says there are many palatial mansions of the rebel sympathizers which would make first-rate hospitals. A large government building is soon to be erected. tir Edward Oaksmith, brother of Ap pleton Oaksmith, the escaped slave-tra der convict, went to Boston recently to look after his brother's effects. Re wag immediately arrested and detained as a witness to prove his brother's wherea bouts. He admits communicating with thelatter, but will make no further re velations. lAt the negro theatre in Cincin nati the programme has the following anneuncliment : "Talarnotiee. A por tion of the upper tier is reserved for respectable white folks, at half price." er A decision was made in the Uni ted Court of New York,declaring flat the law of the United States Con gres.s proliitaing the issue of shinplas tali; in the States is unconstitutional. Cr The Belfast Age says that a mar ried belonging in Damariscotta, )1,e., rtimed Knowlton, has been taken into cestedy-on the charge of drowning her infant child. CONSPICUOUS UNIFORMS.—The vanity of many of our officers is costing them their jives. They do not seem to real ize that by wearing into battle brilliant and showy clothing they are inviting scores of the enemy's bullets. The shoulder straps and double-breasted but tons of field and general officers can be distinguished by sharp-shooters at a long distance. It is tot by any means any mark of cowardice to wear a plain, unpretending blouse and hat or cap when going into battle. We lose too many good officers in every battle to admit of this practice any longer. The enemy's officers can scarcely be distinguished from the privates. The officers they lose are lost because they get in the way of our bullets, and are rarely spe, cially picked off. If an officer cannot overcome the desire to wear showy clo thing, when it is not necessary, then there should be an order issued which will prevent it. IIAYTIEN EMIGRATION: MT. James Redpath, general agent for the past year, in the Haytien emigration move ment, announces in the Pine and Palm that his official connection with it has ceased, in consequence of a difference of views with the Haytien authorities as to the mode of management in the island. He also announces the suspension of that journal by order of the government of Hayti. Mr. George -Lawrence, jr., will continue for a time to act as the chief of the New York bureau, and all letters of inquiry respecting the move ment should be addressed to him. Mr. Redpath says he counted confidentially on 5,000 emigrants last spring, and would have had them, too, bad the pion eer colonists sent home as favorable re ports as be had a right to expect. Gir Are are happy to know that Liet. Worden has entirely recovered from the injuries received during the en gagement between the Monitor and the Merrimac, and that he will be shortly placed in command of one of the new Monitors,-where his eminent bravery and still will undoubtedly again redound to the honor of the navy and to the con fusion of traitors. The honorable testi monial to him, we believe, is not far from $20,000. INT A. little boy, named Kline, only fourteen, years of age, fell into 'a coal shaft at Mascoutah, Illinois, while scuf fling with another boy. He was precip itated one hundred and fifty-three feet to the bottom, but striking the water, was not injured, beyond a thorough sousing. He was drawn out safely, ran home and changed his clothes, and in forty minutes from the time of the acci dent, was back again as though nothing had happened. Cr One of the arrows discharged by the Indians in the recent massacre at Illadelia was taken from the body of one of the victims on the day after the fatal occurrence. The arrow penetrated through the heart to the depth of twelve inches. .The Indians discharge these instruments with Wonderful accuracy and terrible effect. Instances were seen of their having gone entirely through the body. ilEr Wm. L. Dayton, Minister to France, writes home that there has been a perfect rush to the legation in response to Mr. Seward's notes inviting emigration to this country, which was published in the French papers. The eager Frenchmen thought they were to have their passage paid to this country by the Government, and were much dis appointed on learning the contrary. ilEr A certain family in Dayton, Ohio, has recently contributed four brothers to the Union army. They are harmoni ous "children," have but one sentiment, and that is secesh. Their connection with the army will tie better understood when we say that they were all drafted. Cr Gen. Dix is in Washington, at tending to b - usiness connected with his department. Some say that Seymour is to withdraw, and Gen. Dix to take his place, as a war Democrat, in order to carry the State of New York for the Democracy. Cir It is openly charged in Washing ton, that Army Surgeons are constantly bribed to allow men to go on the ground of physical dissability, and that the ar my is rapidly &owing less through the dishonest operation. • eir The returns from: lowa are em- phatically for sustaining the Adminis tration, the Union men having carried the State ticket and the six Congress men by a decisive majority. - ifir Another Hippopotamus was born last month at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, but, like all the other infant hip popotami, born in captivity there, it died immediately. Cr Capt. Worden, or the Monitor, is residing in Brooklyiu, still suffering in one of his eyes. The honorable testi monial to him, we believe, is not far from $20,000. er Substitutes for drafted men in Ohio are procurable at prices ranging from forty dollars to fear hundred. or Lewis H. Douglass, a eon, of Fred Douglass, intends going. to Central America with the Pomeroy expedition -N'THE MA_RIETTIA.N. PEN, PASTE AND SCISSORS. An armed resistance to the draft has been made in Bedfast county, Indiana. Dr. 0. A. 13rownson has been nomi nated for Congress in the Third District of New Jersey. ___ Mrs. Frances D. Gage sailed recently from New York to Hilton Head, S. C., to labor in behalf of the freed negroes. The army officers who threatened to resign if the President issued en eman cipation policy, now submit that they meant "to resign themselves to it." A military company have been organ ized in New Oltleans, denominated the John Brown Guards. They will soon be "marching on." It is stated that Illinois has raised 12,000 men over and above the qucitas demanded of the State. Kansas has raised 11,000 men, which number consti tutes one-ninth of her entire population. Soiled post-office stamps, which clear ly have not once been used for payment or postage, will soon . be redeemed by the government, new stamps being given in their stead. Matt. Ward, who was rendered infa mous several years since by , the murder of a teacher named Butler for correcting his brother in school, has recently been shot in Arkansas by a guerrilla. It is stated in the Baltimore Ameri can that the number of papers daily dis tributed in the several armies and corps in the neighborhood of Washington ex ceeds 80,000 dailies and 10,000 weeklies. Blackwood for September contains a discussion on "Sermons," arguing in fa vor of omitting sermons, whereVer• it may be - convenient, from divine service, and supplying their places by prayers and litanies. We overheard a conversation the other day in which a new definition was given -of "Liberal" The speaker, al luding to another person whom he term ed "Liberal," added : "I mean he hates priests, snakes, whisky and drugs !" Princess Pia, the new queen of Por tugal, has received among her bridal gifts an album from the Pope, in which is set in brilliants a bit of the vail of the Virgin Mary and a thorn from the crown of the Saviour Rev. E. U. Chapin and family bad, at last accounts, left Frankfort, and were staying at Paris. Dr, Chapin's health is already so much improved that he may return before the expiration of the year's leave of absence so-liberally allowed him .by his congregation. Rev. Dr. Hawks, in the Episcopal Convention, urged treating the rebel-, Nous churchmen with "lenity, courtsey, and affection," adding "We must not lug in all the little dirty questions of the day, which will be buried with their agi tation." Horatio Seymour, Democrat candi date for Governor, has not only refused to pay one cent for the war, •or for suf., ferers by it, but in e ndorsing officially the county bonds for bounty, he was careful to write : "Without recourse," to secure himself against tho possibility of personal responsibility. Mr. Lewis Tappan has ordered a bell to be cast for the church of the freed men of Beaufort, S. C., with this inscrip tion: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants there. of." There is one other, bell bearing the same inscription, which pealed glad ti dings in 1777, but now it is cracked and silent. J. R. Spaulding, formerly editor and part proprietor of the World newspa per, has dissolved all cOunection with that journal, in consequence of its oppo sitiop to the Emancipation Proclama tion of the President and its support of the Democratic nominations. A new system for laying the dust without watering the carriage-way has been some time in operation in Paris. It consists of sprinkling the road with chloride of lime, which being remarka ble for its power of absorbing moisture, soon becomes damp, and thereby pre vents any dust from rising even in the hottest day. M. Jules Gerard, the renowned lion killer, is projecting an expedition into Central Africa, the object being to find a favorable place to establish an inde pendent settlement between Sierra Le-. one and the sources of the Nilo?, for the purpose of promoting the inter count, and extending the relations be tween Europa and Africa, The British steamer Tynemouth touched at San Francisco on the 19th of September, on her way -to Victoria, Vancouver's Island, with a company of 246 emigrants, of whom 60 were 'unmar ried women, tvhose passage had been paid by a Colonizing Association in England, for the purpose of supplying unhappy bachelors in the North with wives. Miss Rye, an English lady, has recent ly sent out a colony of female emigrants to New Zealand by a vessel bearing, the strange name of Sarah M., a fiat which has led to the remark that the vessel, like her fair cargo, is still , undecided what narneJo,take. About one hundred Young woggle:: are 'peAsengers,,by.,...j,his ship, and another shipload is 4.ifellow• in January. A PRESENT TO MRS. GENFAAL, MC CLELLAN.—There is now standing in the window of Messrs. R. Donnell & Son, at *Eighth and Walnut streets, the largest lump of fine loaf sugar ever manufactur ed in this country. It is about a foot and a half through at the base, four feet three inches in height, and weighs one hundred and ninety-two pounds. It was made at the Pennsylvania Refinery of Newhall and Sons, in Philadelphia, is of the finest sugar, most artistically mould ed, and altogether is most creditable to the manufacturers. The purpose is to present it to Mrs. General McClellan, as an offset to a similar present made to General Scott by the Stewarts of New York. This is, however, as compared with that, altogether a superior article —not only in quality but in size and weight. That was but three feet ten inches high, and weighed but ninety pounds: "Some things, it seems, can be done as well as others." SHOCKING DEATH.—A lad named John Chamberlin, aged thirteen years, and employee at a rolling mill at Youngs town, Ohio, met with a shocking death last week. He was lying, wring a tem porary stoppage of the machinery, on a belt attached to a large cog wheel con nected with the nailplate sheers. The engine was , suddenly started, and be was quickly carried, feet tbremost,into the jaws of the wheel, which in its revolu tions crushed his body into a shapeless mass before the engine could be stepped. A wild cry as he was being drawn be : tweet the wheels, and a few convulsive gasps after being taken out, and all was over. LIVING AT RICIIIIOND—Prices Current, —To give our citizens an idea of what it costs to live in the rebel capital, we_ give the the following list of prices as given in tho Richmond Whig : Sugar 70c per lb ; hams 60a70c per lb; lard 50c per Ib ; cabbage $1 pot. head ; potatoes 25c per quart ; tea $2 per lb ; candles 7541 50 per lb ; eggs $1 - per doz ; ladies gaiters $l5 ; mens boots $25 asso; butter $1 per lb ; rice loc per lb, whisky $2O per gallon, and in great de mand ; fresh meats 50c per lb ; molasses $5 per gallon; salt 75c per quart; hoop skirts, $3O; mew, shoes $15a25, OW A frightful testimony to the pre sent condition of morals in London, in one respect, was given recently by Dr. Lankester, the most able of all Londcn coroners, who, when addressing a jury on an inquest, said: "The English public expressed their horror at infer,- - ticide when it was brought under their notice. They were not aware that the finding of the body of a dead child was of so common an occurrence that there were instances of it every day. SO com mon was it, that the police seemed to think no more of finding a dead child than they did of finding a dead cat or a dead dog." eir The Episcopal Convention which has bean in session in New York, has experienced great difficulty in offering a testimony against rebellion. without touching politics. One member, Mr. Ruggles, said the "offense of our south ern brethren is not so bad after all ; it is only a breach of contract, not an im morality," Such may be accepted as the Episcopal standard of morals. A breach of contract not an immorality, and treason only a breach of contract: R The Democratic State ticket in Indiana is reported elected by from 5,- 000 to 8,000 majority. The Union men have elected four members of Congress the opposition five, with two districts in doubt, which both parties claim. The Opposition have evidently a majority of the Legislature, which will secure the election of a United States ;Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright. ow The recent action of the Episco pal Convention fully justifies the opin ion of the old Judge in Northern New York, who, being a man of wealth, found it necessary to join a church, and finally selected the Episcopal for the following reasons : "You see I was per fectly safe in joining the Episcopal church; for it never meddles with either temperance, moreak politics, or reli gion."

Holloway's Pills so purify the blood and strengthen the stomach and bowls that the soldier can endure these hardships and still be strong and healthy. Only 25 cents per Box. 230 tir A sad case of death occurred in Pittsburg lately. A little girl, about six years old, procured a pint of whisky which had been carelessly left Within her reach, and drank the whole of it be fore she was discovered. She immedi ately sickened, and then fell into a stu por, and although a physician was called in, she died the same evening. sir The following pithy resolution was unanimously passed by the Zeus ville Conference of the Wesleyan Meth odists.: "Slavery is the sum of all vil lainy—hateful to God, ruinods to socie ty, degrading to human nature, and cal culatedlo reduce the world to a state of the most re'veltii3g lieathemem TRIALS OF A PICKET. —An army cor respondent thus writes of the trials of the new troops acting as pickets : In the night time they transform trees into mounted men, shrubs into pickets, fen ces into battle-lines, and oven rocks into armed rebels. At one time they hastily rallied their ranks and poured a galling fire into the outcropping rocks la the river, believing them to be a Confeder ate force fording the bubbling current. Even in the day time, on one occasion, a few of our men who had crossed to the large island in the river for grain, were fired on by the whole frightened line of pickets, and only saved themselves by falling below the gunwates of the large flat boat. To these raw troops a coon cry or an owl-screech becomes a bugle call. They need the experience of a campaign to cool their imaginations and temper their zeal. SEWARD ON THE WAR.—Hon. Wm. H. Seward, in a late communication (writ ten by instruction of the President) to the West New Jersey Baptist - Associa tion, says.: "The President desires, also, that yon may be well - assured that, so far as it belongs to him, no vigor and no perseverance shall be wanting to sup press the existing insurrection, and to preserve and maintain the Union of the States and the integrity of the country. You may further rest assured that the President is looking for a restoration of peace on no other basis than that of the unconditional acqniesence by the people of all the States in the constitutional authority of the Federal Government.— Whatever policy shall lead to that re sult will be pursqed ; whatever interest shall stand in the way of it will be disre garded." VERY DECIDED VIEWB.--The Cincin nati Gazette, of October 11, publishes a letter from Ilon. W. C. Grier, of the Kentucky Senate, who has just been burned out of house and home , by the marauding guerrillas of the Rebel Mor gan. Mr. Grier gives his present views in the following energetic language : "Why is all this persecution of me ? Is it because I condemned this wicked Re bellion, urged a vigorous prosecution of this war, and in my place in the Senate of Kentucky, opposed the temporizing policy of my own party ? For this lam burned out and hunted out of Kentucky. I am now unequivocally for confiscation, subjugation, extermination and hell and damnation." THE Onto .1 4 ,11.5.cn0x t—The returns from Ohio indicate the election of the Democratic State ticket by about 12,- 000 majority. The congressional dele gation will stand 12 Democrats to a Un ion men. The Legislature of Ohio be ing elected biennially, the result of this election will not affect the question of the election of a United States Senator. That will be in the hands of the present Legislature, which is strongly Adminis tration. Those, therefore, who count on the election of the defeated traitor Val landigham to the U. S. Senate, will find themselves somewhat disappointed. ogr A Washington letter says "there having been a suspicion that the rela tions of General Scott with the Presi dent were not of a very friendly charac ter, lam enabled to say that all such suspicions are utterly unfounded, and that the intimacy of the two distinguish ed personages is of the most cordial character. Indeed, there is no one the President would sooner confide in upon the subject of military matters, than Gen. Scott. Illy' Frederick Ward, the A merican, who ranks high among the Chinese Man-darins on account of services in the Im perial army—who in fact is a Chinese prince with a Chinese wife—has offered Prince Kong to put down the rebellion in that Empire, which has been in pro gress for fourteen years, for ten million dollars. If he should be successful in that job, perhaps he may obtaia a con tract to do something in the same way in. the 'United States. air The 24th Connecticut Regiment has chosen for its colonel Samuel Mans field, of Middletown. Colonel Mans field is a son of Brigadier General J. K. F. Mansfield, of the regular army, killed at Antietam. He entered West Point in 1857, and recently graduated with a high reputation for scholarship and ability. ga- Major General Edwin V. Sumner reached Syracuse, New York, on Satur day evening, where he will remain a week with his family. Gen.

Peary :—Early i n 1?' , 61, when the civil war seemed perl. inn., but had not actually broken cut, Gem Scott wrote two papers, containing his views, professional and political, on the crisis and the rights and duties which devolved on the momentous junc tare. One of them has recently been published without the writer's consent. The second now appears, having been furnished to the press by himself. It establishes, in the first place, the patriotic anxiety of the General-in-chief to prepare for the coming storm, and his earnest and repeated efforts to pre vail on the Government to garrison the Southern forts against every possible attack ; and discloses, in the second place, the causes of his failure, which it is evidentsesolted from the indecision of President Buchanan, misled dou.ktless by treachery in the Secretary of %Vox, if not in other members of the Cabinet in whom the then head of the Goverment reposed a misplaced and abased confi dence. OCR IRON CLAD NAVY.—Donald Mc- Kay, the ship builder, who has person ally inspected the iron-clad fleets now being made in England and France doubts the propriety of our construc ting so many vessels of the Monitor pattern. He regards them inferior to the large vessels building abroad for of fensive purposes. Their lowness in the water and inferior speed would, he thinks put thein at the mercy of the huge rains for such they all are, that compose the European fleets. The Ironsides, and the great ram building by Mr. Webb, ho fears, will be the only two effective res sels in our navy for deep water purposes. CONFEDERATE BONDS.-It is whispered about that bonds of the rebel confeder acy have been secretly sold in Baltimore at 15 cents. on the dollar, or $lOOO bonds. for $l5O, payable in Baltimore or United States currency. We suppose the be lievers quietly buy and lay them away, expecting, if they succeed, they will turn out a good investment ; if not, they will pocket the loss and light their segars with them. It will be awkward if sellers. and buyers find themselves in Fort Mc- Henry . or Lafayette. ta3 - A. correspondent writing from, Washington says an-order has been is sued directing the occupancy Tor Go vernment purposes, of property in Wash ington, of persons known to be in the- service of the rebels, including fire houses belonging to Commodore For rest, two to Dr. Cornelius Boyle, one to Dr. Grinnell, a son-in-law of Henry A_ Wise, one to Wm.
