SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13,1362.
Qi- Messrs. MATHER Br. ABBOTT, No. 335
Broadway, New-York, are duly authorized to
act for us in soliciting advertisments, &c., and
receipt for the same.
sr Deserting from and evading tho
Draft have been SO extensively practised
here and elsewhere as to become a 'nat
ter of importance, not only to the au
thorities, but those who remain at home
subject to draft, some of whom might
be called on to fill up the quota required
of the State, now dismissed by these
recusants. The Adjutant General has
issued the following order in relation to
the subject ;
HARRISBURG, PA., Dec. 6th 1862.
The undersigned deems it necessary
to communicate the following for the
information of all concerned :
Drafted militia who disregard their
obligations to their country and keep
out of the way, avoid delivery to the sev
eral camps of instruction, cannot divest
themselves of theil"liability to faithfully
perform dine months - of military service;
and that service can only commence
from date of their delivery to the mili
tary authorities. The citizens yet sub
ject to a draft, are deeply interested in
seeing that the recusants are promptly
sent in, for as the general government
has required of the State a certain num
ber of men, some of their citizens may
be subsequently drafted in puce of
such recusants.
Drafted militia who have deserted,
will be pursued, and when apprehended,
will be required to make good the time
lost by their unauthorized absence, and
also be subject to such punishment as
may be determined by a General Court
Marshal, under the articles of war.
L. THOMAS, Adjutant General.
It will be seen that those who are
fraudulently evading the draft and de
serting from the ranks are only length
riling their own time of service, (which
is computed from the time they report
for duty,) besides subjecting themselves
to the punishment awarded by a Court
Martial, which may give them the full
penalty of desertion ; so those who have
been rejoicing in the delay in appointing
a Provost Marshal, as giving them so
many more days of grace, will now see
that every day makes his term so much
the longer, and they may be assured
that every one of them will be taken,
and punished for his contumacy.
GEN. WABIIICITON'I3 WILL.—Tho follow
ing letter is published ir. a Washington
paper.
FAIRFAx C. LI. Vi., Dec. 5, 1862.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN : A statement ap
peared in your paper to-day that Wash
ington's will was some time since stolen
from the office here, and has been.sold
to the British Museum.
I am assured by a gentleman here, in
whose statement I have entire confi
dence, that so far from such being the
fact, the will in question is now in Culpe
per county, Va. It was removed by the
former clerk of the court, Mr. Alfred
Moss, in whose possession he -saw it in
May last; and subsequently, in Septem
ber, he saw Mr. Moss, and was assured
by him that it was still safe.
Although my informant does not feel
at liberty to divulge its exact locality,
for obvious reasons, there need be no
uneasiness about its safety; but that
when peace shall reunite our country
and afford senrity, this interesting relic
of our country's father will be restored
to its proper resting place in this coun
ty, the home of Washington.
Yours, truly, JOB HATIMIUBST.
er Mr. Stevens offered the following
Union resolutions a few days since, in
the House of RepreseUtatives :
Reaolveil, 'that this Union must be
and remain one and indivisable for
ever.
Resolved, That if any person in the
employment of the United States, in
either the legislative or executive
branch, should propose to make peace,
or should accept or advise the accept
ance of any such proposition on any
other basis than the integrity and entire
unity of' the United States and their
Territories as they existed at the time
of the rebellion, he will be guilty of a
high crime, '
Resolved, That this Gpvernment can
never accept the mediation or permit
the intervention of any foreign nation
in this rebellion or in our domestic af-
Resolved, That no two Governments
can ever be permitted to exist within
the - territory now belonging to the
.Uni

their jurisdiction at the time of the in-
OtliTection.

TBE MIIcESSOTA INDIANS.—A body of
a hundred and fifty citizens, armed with
hatchets, knives and other weapons,
forced their way through the guard with
the averred intention of murdering the
Indian prisoners confined at Camp Lin
coln, Markato, but they were surround
ed and captured. They were subse
quently released on parole.
The Goveinor has issued a proclama
tion urging the people of Minnesota not
to throw away her good name by acts of
lawlessness; that the people have just
cause of complaint of the tardiness of
Executive action, but they ought to find
reason for forbearance in the absorbing
charges which weigh upon the President.
If he should decline to punish them,
then the case comes clearly within the
jurisdiction of the civil authorities.
TIIE MONITOR FLEET.—The nine Mon
itors yet unfinished are all launched, ex
cept the Lehigh, at Chester. Two were
launched at New York on Saturday,
and one at Boston.* One of the New
York built vessels is .designed more for
a ram than any thing else, but as she is
only a "nine knot" vessel she will make
rather a poor show as a ram, for the
vessels she intended to strike would,
under most circumstances, be able to
leave her 'behind. The others are in_
tended only as batteries of the Ericsson
pattern. The delay in finishing this
fleet has been occasioned by the want of
iron, most of the iron works of the coun
try being worked up to their present
capacity.
SOLDIERS FROZEN TO DEATIL-Th e
cold on Saturday night was intense, and
the troops suffered considerably in con
sequence. Six of our pickets were said
to have been frozen to death. The ice
on the
,Potomac, near Acqnia creek,
was near two inches thick. The roads
are hard and rough. It was stated that
a body of rebels were occupying Thor
oughfare Gap and Warrenton Junction
on Saturday, and Col, Wyndham was
about to make a cavalry reconnoissance
in that direction, but the severity of the
night prevented him. Yesterday, how
ever, was cheerful and Sunny, but still
the weather was piercingly cold.
11lir In Cleveland, 0., on Thanksgiv
ing day a landlord proprietor tendered
to a prominent lawyer $27,000 in "green
backs" in payment of the principal and
interest of a mortgag - e falling due on
that day. The payment was refused on
the ground that the "green backs" were
not legal tender, and a suit will be com
menced to test the question of the con
stitutionality of the law making United
States Treasury Notes legal tender.
As serious fears seemed to be en
tertained by the people of Nicaragua
that the President intended establishing
a colony of free colored persons , in some
part of Central America, our minister
to that country assures its Governrient
that no such project will be attempted,
against the well known wishes of the
people of those States.
ear Another destructive fire occarred
at Lock Haven, Fe., and before the

was saved, The loss is estimated at
$400,000 !

STRIKE THEM FROM THE ROLL :—Sena
tor Nesmith of Oregon, offered a resol
ution in the U. S. Senate a few days
since, instructing the Secretary of War
to report to the Senate the number
and rank of the aides-de-camp, appoint.
ed under the act of Congress, 1861, and
also the number, and rank of those ap
pointed, drawing pay and not in active
service.
He said, that according to his esti
mate there were about 50 Colonels, 3k
Lieut.-Colonels, and 221 Captains, and
of these, there were drawing pay and not
in actual service, about 20 Colonels, 5
Lieut.-Colonels, 10 Majors, and 50 Cap
tains, drawing in the aggregate pay of
413,230 per mouth, .$158,760 per annum,
the country was full of them. He knew
one Colonel who was practicing law,
another tanning a saw mill, and another
keeping a lager beer shop, and many
others campaiging about hotels and
drawing money from the Treasury.—
The resolution was adopted.
eir There is much truth in the asser
tion of New York Journal of Commerce
that many make a serious mistake in
supposing that, when general trade is
light, it is less profitable to advertise
than during a prevalent rush of business.
The experience which seems to confirm
such an opinion has come from the at
tempt to limit the advertising by the
trade. When business falls off through
out the market, those who take that
opportunity to increase their advertising
always secure, by this means, more than
their ordinary proportion of the public
patronage ; while those who are afraid
that it will not pay are left to suffer the
consequent loss through such neglect.
Cr In accordance with orders from
headquarters, the Ambulance Corps is
being thorougly drilled for conveying
the wounded from the field during bat
tle, and is increased by a detail of 'one
corporal and six men from each regi
ment to act as litter-bearers. The or
der forbidding any other men, under any
pretext, to leave the ranks for carrying
the wounded to the rear, if rightly en
forced, will prevent a great deal of shirk
ing and straggling.
The Jackson Mississippian denies
the extenkvely published report (origin
ating in the St. Louis Republican) that
General Edwin Price, son of "Old Pap"
Price, had resigned his commission in
the confederaLe service, returned to
Missouri, and taken the oath of alle
giance to the United States government.
It says he had no command in the army,
was merely an officer of the Missouri
State Guard, long since disbanded.
tlir A Butternut sheet in lowa brags
over a family of a father and seven
grown up sons that voted the clean but
ternut ticket at the late election. Of
coarse, where you find a family of seven
sons, and none of them in the army, their
politics is unmistakable. Had they
been for the Union ticket, six of the
seven would have been in the service of
Uncle Sam, leaving the one at home to
take care of the old folks.
CW- Last spring, when the Sac and
Fox Indians were enrolled for payment,
they were found to number 1,080 men.
Last week they were again paid, but

has prevailed among them, no fearful
war has thinned their ranks,. but they
rapidly fade away. So dice a wave

GENERAL BURNSIDE'S PLANS. - The
Falmouth (Va.) correspondent of the
New York Times, referring to the poli
cy of General Burnside, says :—lt does
not enter into his calculations to delay
one hour beyond the time imposed by
material conoltions, but to push on
steadily, directly and unflinchingly to
ward Richmond. Dismiss with con
tempt all reports you hear of winter
quarters here. They are nonsense. We
are to have an active, vigorous winter
campaign against Richmond. The army
believe they are going there, and they
have faith they can pat it through.—
Burnside thinks it just as well to employ
the army in advancing southward—even
if they should advance but at tla rate of
a mile a day, (even then they could get
in front of Richmond in th 3 course of a
couple months,) as to allow them to rot
of inaction in camp. We have much to
hope from the practical, pushing, tireless
temperament of Bneoside, of which we
have new illustrations every day. He
goes everywhere, sees everything, with
a bright, quiet, creative energy.
FIGHT IT Out—The Boston Post, for
nearly forty years past the leading Dem
ocratic journal in New England, a paper
which probably did more than any other
Democratic organ in that region to se
cure the late conservative triumph,
makes this very emphatic statement :
Some of our contemporaries insist ap
on iit, that 'there is a large-class, the
"aristocratic element," amecg us that
dreams of excusing- and eoncilating the
"Richmond Oligarchy." We have not
been able to discover the• "aristocratic
element" among us. We know , of no
one that desires to conciliate, but we
know many who wish to conquer. We
have taken up the sword to vindicate the
laws, and we t hall not ray it down till
they are vindicated. This is our pur
pose_ This is the intention on which
we have continually acted ; we plainly
declare it to the public, and we believe
our actions are consistent'with this pur
pose.
GREAT HAUL OP CONTRABAND 6.-11 ap

The rebels has been gathering them up
to carry them further into the interior,
or perhaps to Texas, or perhaps with the
intention of slipping them over to Cuba.
Gen. Weitzel wrote to Gen. Butler for

in response, Gan. Butler has issued his

LONG-LIVED FASITLY.—In two adjoin

tyone years—viz : William Short, 92
last July; Abel Short, 89 fast July;
Mrs. Bubk,S6 ; John Short, 78 in A Aril,
and Simeon Short, 76 in December. The
brothers are all farmers, except Simeon,
who is a lawyer, but has been nearly
blind the last three years. William,
though 92, occasionally walks six miles
to church, from choice. The other two
brothers, Abel and John, labor daily on
their farms.
GENERAL BURNSIDE'S BIFLE.—The ri
fle invented by General Burnside, is now
manufactured by a large company at
Providence, R. 1., at the rate of seven
ty per - day, for the use of the United
States cavalry, It is a breach loader,
the receptacle for the cartridge being
formed in a cast steel block which fits
in a slat at the base of the barrel. The
block is secured at its forward eud by a
hinge which allows it to be turned down
to receive the cartridge, and by means
of the trigger guard acting as a lever, it
is brought back into its place.
or The Miltoidan says that a large
number of canal boats from that place
and vicinity have been pressed into the
government service for building pontoon
bridges, and also for carrying forage for

boat ten dollars per day, which is very
good for the winter season. A number
of canal boats belonging to Marietta
have also been pressed into the govern
ment service at the same price.
or The. Pittsburg Dispatch says that
in the Washington navy yard a cast
iron ten-inch , gun, with forty pounds of

to indicate that the, interesting struggle
for the mastery between iron plates and
cannon balls is pretty certain to result

INTER:CU:MACE OF DEAF Mures.—The
questioa of the intermarriage of deaf
mutes was the sabjeet of a paper recent
ly read before the French Academy of
Sciences by Dr. Doudin, who took the
ground that the infirmity is not heredi
tary. The parents of deaf and dumb
children, be observed, are generally in
perfect health, and, moreover, deaf and
dumb parents not connected with each
other by ties of consanguinity very rare
ly have deaf and dumb children. He
quoted an observation made by Dr. Per
ron, of Bessancon, of two brothers of
the name of Vallet, splendidly constitu
ted and enjoying the most perfect health,
who married two sisters, their cousins
germain. The eider has.. bad several
children, only one of whom, now .aged
twenty, is deaf and dumb. The younger
brother has had six children, the first,
third and fifth of whom could hear and
speak, while the second and fourth were
*deaf and dumb ; the sixth, still in its
cradle, does not seem sensible of any
noise they may happen to make in the
room. These cases are utterly in con
tradiction to the doctrine of inheritance-
DRESSMAKERS.—The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has decided that
dressmaking is a manufacture; and as
such, if carried of to an extent exceede
ing one thousand dollars per year, in
cluding price of goods, requires a li
cense. The dress-maker is required to
make monthly returns, and to pay a tax
of three percent. on the whole value of
hei. manufactures. When a dressmaker
makes up goods belonging to her custo
mers, she is required to make return of
the same, and to pay a tax upon them ;
but she is authorized by the law (sec.
63) to add the tax to her bill for labor,
.and has a lien upon the dresses until the
bill is paid. The fashionable dressma
kers will not like this. They are about
the only ones who will be affected by the
decision.
AFTER. Tusit.—A guard of eighty men
started out yesterday afternoon in pur
suit of deserters from Camp Curtain.--
They were divided into two squad's of
forty each, one going up tho Pennsylva
nia railroad, and the other (Jong the
line of the Dauphin and Schuylkill rail
road. Deserters generally travel on
foot to stations within several miles of
the city, and than take the cars. .13y
watching these points the guards man
age to capture them. Some five or six.
hundred deserters have been arrested
and returned to carrp withiq a week by
the provost guard. The boys deserve
credit far the faithful and efficient man•
ner in which they have discharged
their duty in this respect.—Harri;A:rg
Patriot.
A SUMMING ITP.—The Knoxville (Ten
nessee) Register, (secessionist,) thus
sums up the merits of the controversy
between Buchanan and Gen. Scott :
Ex-President Buchanan has published
an elaborate defence against the charges
of inefficiency preferred against him by
Gen. Scott. It possesses little interest,
save that either be or Scott had lied,
and nobody in the South cares which.—
Both are miserable old dotards. -No
thing remains of "Old Buck" but his
cock-eyed knavery, and of Scott, but his
vanity and egotism. Their vices live—
their virtues-have rotted.
RENTING DESERTERS.- Measures have
been taken by the military authorities
for the arrest of all deserters and ab
sentees from Qamp Simmons. Small
squads of the provost guard battalion
are to be dispatched to the various
counties from which men were drafted,
for the purpose of capturing and bring
ing in all the recusants and deserters
that can be found. In some counties
there are from three to six huundred.—
The guard may sunned _ in finding a con
siderable number of- the men, but no
doubt many hundreds will escape.—Har
risburg Telegraph.
A NEW STATE.—The loyal people of
"West Virginia will again ask for admis
sion into the Unidn. There aro forty
eight counties, covering an area as large
as Pennsylvania. They propose to free
all negroes born slaves after the ith of
March, 1863, and those now held shall
be free on attaining the age of 21. and
25 years. .lt is likely that under these
conditions the proposed State will be
admitted into the Union at the present
session of Congress.
CIIILDD.EN SMOTHERED--A melancholy
occurrence transpired in Wheeling, Va.,
on Friday, resulting in the death of two
interesting children. ILappears that a
German woman named Klotz had occa
sion to leave home, and before starting,
placed her two children in a room, lock
ing the door for safety. Some time af
ter she left, they set -fire to a pile of
shavings near the stove, and, the room
filling with smoke, both the little ones
were suffocated before assistant reached
them.
