ler The $3OO Commutation question
still appears to be wrapt in doubt.—
Provost Marshal Bolenius informed a
citizen of Marietta on Mond4 last that
his last instructions from the War De
partment were to the effect that the
drafted man paying $3OO was still sub
ject to the next draft, no matter how
soon ordered. Hence the correspon
dence which follows :
LANCASTER, August 27, 1863
Hon. naddeus &evens—DEAß SIR :
Different decisions have been made un
der the 13th Section of the "Act for
Enrolling and calling out the National
Forces," as the effect of the payment of
the $3OO commutation, in the uncertain
ty so caused, may I ask you for your
opinion as to what the law of the case
is?
What is the effect of the payment
of the $3OO commutation, and for what
length of time does such payment ex.
empt the person paying?
Yours Respectfully,
EDWARD REILLY
LANCASTER, August 27, 1863.
Dear Sir: In answer to your inqui
ry, my opinion is that the payment of
the $3OO commutation and the furnish
ing a substitute have precisely the same
effect, Either of them frees the drafted
man from further draft for three years.
He is in effect in service, either by him
self or another. The payment of $3OO
makes the government his agent to pro
cure a substitute. The government has
consented to act as such agent. The
law says he may "on or before the day
fixed for his appearance furnish an ac
ceptable substitute, or pay such sum
not exceeding $3OO for the procuration
of such substitute, and thereupon the
person furnishing the substitute, or pay
ing the money, shall be discharged from
further liability under that draft." No
one doubts that furnishiug a substitute
excuses for three years. To give a dif
ferent effect to the payment of the coal.:
mutation seems to me little less than an
absurdity. It is a very mischievous
misconstruction, which, if need be, I
,have no doubt Congress will correct.
THADDEUS STEVENS
ED. REILLY, Esq
la ` Gov. Pierpout is at Washington,
making arrangements for putting the
Government of the State of Virginia
into operation, the capital to be at Al
exandria. " With this view the first
Legislature will be convened in extra
session, probably in September, when
that body will elect a Treasurer and
Auditor, for without them no salaries
cat be paid noithe taxes collected in
in the several counties deposited. The
new term of Gov. Pierpont will com
mence in January next, the election
having taken place on the 28th of last
May, in those rwirtions of Eastern Vir
ginia free from rebel control. Thus
there are three Governors in what was
formerly known as one State, including
the rebel functionary at Richmond.
The Richmond papers have re
ports confirmatory of the shelling of
Chattanooga by the advance of the
Army of the Cumberland. The rebels
are sore because Rosecrans has appeared
in front of the city, and find fault with
him for not giving them notice of his
coming. They are evidently hard to
please. Beauregard accuses General
Gilmore of violating the rules of war
when he summons Charleston to sur
render Sumpter and Wagner, under
penalty of bombardment in case of re
fusal. The rebels like to be handled
as they were in the beginning of the
war—with gloves; they don't fancy the
style which Grant, Banks, Rosocrans,
Meade and Gilmore have adopted to
put down the rebellion.
lam' A long address from the specious
pen of Mr. Charles J. Biddle, Chair
man of the Democratic Central State
Committee of Pennsylvania, has just
been published. We are sorry to 're
cord it that from beginning to end it is
devoted to abuse of the Admfoistration
and "the Abolitionists," It says not
one word in censure of tha rebels ; not
one word in commendation of the Union
soldiers. There is not a sentence iu it
that can in any way be construed to
signify a desire to prosecute the war or
to punish the rebels that are trying to
destroy the nation.
of Nearly one hundred years 'ago,
Voltaire ,resided at Geneva, Switzer
land. One day he said to some friends
in a boastful, sneering tone :—"Before
the 'beginning of the nineteenth century,
Christianity will have disappeared from
the'earth !" Well I in that same house,
in that same room where these impious
words were spoken, what think you
there is to-day . ? A large deposit of
Bib lea ! The sacred books fill the
house from the floor ,tothe ceiling ! So
much for Voltaire's wicked prediction 1,
Christianity ov,erthrows philosophical
sceptietem,
A NEW WAY TO GET A. WIFE.—The
Cleveland Herald says that a man from
Brecksville stepped into the Infirmary
of that city on the 16th instant, and said
he wanted a wife. The SUperintendent
was rathe'r staggered at so novel au ap
plication, but finally as the fellow ap
peared very much in earnest, and beg
ging him to "trot out his marriageable
stock," asked the women in the institu
tion what they thought of it. All de
clined to consider a .question "popped"
in that unreas.onable manner but one,
who had rather unpleasant antecedents.
She was "trotted" out, and the fellow
thus addressed her : "I've got seven
acres of land out here in Brecksville,
five cows, a fat hog, and a daughter, who'
will be married on Monday. 1 don't
want to lie to you, so I tell you I shall .
give one cow to my thiughter, but 1 have
a heifer about ready to come in, and
.then you will have five cows all the
samo. All I want is three meals a day
cooked, but you can eat between meals
it you are hungry and three meals a day
ain't enough. Now, if you want to
hitch up, say so." The "blushing fair
one"—that is, she would have blushed
if she could—"said so," and Smith left
them to settle the details of this novel
engagement. The happy swain prom
ised to be back early next morning with
a license. And he kept his word. The
marriage so strangely "got up" was duly
and legally completed.
DIED OF DRAFT FRIGHT.-B. Knapp
Berry, of Pottersville, Warren county,
died at the U. S. Hotel, in Plattsburg
last week. He was dFefted from his
place of residence, and visited Platts ,
burg for the purpose of exemption. He
was about consummating a marriage en
gagement, and the intelligence of his
being drafted so affected his affianced
as to cause her serious illness. This so
worked upon Mr. P.'s mind as to ter
minate in fearful derangemeat and
death. Deceased was twenty-five years
of age, and was a tnedibal student of
rare attainments.
DEFACED POSTAGE CURRENCY. —Many
of our readers are not aware that the
United States currency depreciates in
value when pieces are torn from notes,
large or small, in proportion to the
piece so torn off. For instance, a ten
cent note with half torn off, is worth
five cents, and so on. This is a matter
that will be of interest in a short time,
as the notes in circulation are fast
wearing out, and, so far as we know,
there has been no provision made for
their exchange for new ones.
ilEr In Portland, on Tuesday of last
week, a little son of Francis B. Pea
body, of Chicago, was put to sleep in
his crib ; at one o'clock, not hearing
from him, the nurse went to see him,
and found that in some unaccountable
manner the little fellow had got his
body through the crib and hung by the
head. Life was nearly if not quite ex
tinct when found, and all the efforts to
resuscitate him proved unavailing. The
child was about two years of age.
GB' Parson Brownlow, on the testi
mony of a surgeon recently returned
from Ricnniond, states that Gov. Aiken
of South Carolina, the noble old loyal
ist of that State, is a prisoner in the
Libby prison, his'erime being persistent
fidelity, to the Union, and a steady refu
sal to contribute to the support of the
rebellion. The surgeon states that he
was confined in the same room with
Gov. Aiken, and had many conversa
tions with himr-
ifir Gen. Hooker, with a patriotic
concession of his sense of duty as a sol
dier, offers to accept any respectable
command where he can meet the enemy
of his country. He will probably re
sume active service in the field about
the Ist of September. He may have a
separate command ; if not he will com
mand a corps in the Army of the Poto
mac._ This is the right spirit.
10 , - Some curiosity has been excited
to know bow Gen. Gilimore can shell
Charleston, without possession of Fort
Sumpter. It is explained that his 300
pound Parrott gun has been mounted
upon Morris Island, upon a spot from
which he is able to send shells into the
city. From the rebel papers it appears
be has been able to do so.

It is stated as a singular fact that re
ligious worship is conducted in Chicago
in more languages than in any other
city in the world. A convocation of all
the Chicago churches would be Babel
renewed. A person making the. rounds
of the various houses of worship would
in a single day hear services in English,
German, Swedish, French, Welsh, Nor
wegian and Dutch, besides some sup
posed to be conducted in unknown
tongues.
In 'Washington, on Wednesday last,
a soldier, named George Smith, who was
arrested for being intoxicated and put
to the test pf . p. shower bah at the-cen
tral guard house immediately exhibited
strong symptoms of hydrophobia, biting
and snapping and foaming - at the mouth.
The disease, it is thought, originated
from the bite of a dog received about
six years ago. Smith was sent to the
Stone Hospital.
Swarms of locusts have, in many
cases, lodged on the Ottoman railway,
and compelled the engine drivers to
proceed with great caution. The lo
custs, on being crushed by the engine
on the rails, make them excessively
greasy and slippery, so that the wheels
will scarcely bite. The consequence is
some degree of danger, and sand has to
be dropped on the rails to give the
wheels a hold.
A gentlemart,who left Richmond on

Flinn were not executed on tha day ap

WHO WRITES OUR NEGRO SONGS ?
The principle writer of.our national mu
sic is said to be Stephen C. Foster, the
author of "Uncle Ned," "0 Susannah,"
etc. Mr. Foster resides near Pitts
burg, where he occupies a small clerk
ship, upon which, and the percentage on
the sale of his songs, ho depends for a
living.: He writes the , poetry as well
as the music of his songs. They are
sung wherever the English language is
spoken, while the music is heard wher
ever men sing. In the cotton-fields of
the South ; among the mines of Califor
nia and Australia ; in the sea coast
cities of China; in Paris ; in London
prisons—everywhere, in fact, his melo
dies are heard. "Uncle Ned" was the
first. This was'published in 1846, and
reached a.sale till then, unknown in the
music publishing business. Of "The
Old Folks at Home," 100,000 copies
have been sold in this country, and as
many more in England. "My Old Ken
tucky Home," and "Old Dog Tray" each
have had a sale of about 'lO,OOO. All
his other songs have had a great run.
WITHERING REBUKE.—Ex-President
Buchanan and suite, en route from Bed
ford Springs to Wheatland, passed
through Harrisburg on the 15th instant.
After Arlr..Buchanati had changed cars,
and a few minutes before the train
started, a crowd collected in front of the
car he occupied, gazing with mute curi
osity at the infirm old man, whose un
steady look wandered from object to
object, as if he hesitated to meet the
gaze of the citizens and the soldiers
present upon the occasion. Just then
a soldier who had lost an arm began to
shake the stump in the face of the 0.
P. F., exclaiming fiercely, "I amiudebt
ed to -you for this!" (pointing to the
maimed arm,) ' - and the devil will liqui
date the debt when he gets yon !" At
this point the whistle of the locomotive
screamed the signal of departure, and
Buchanan, with the rebuke of the wound
ed soldier bleaching on his already pale
and withered cheek, was soon lost in
the distance with the train. But, what
an existence ! What a career for an
American President !
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL PARK.--
The annual report of the Commission.
ers of the Central Park has lately been
published. The following are some of
the statistics presented therein :
"The number of persons who visited
the Park on foot, on horseback, and in
carriages during the year was 4,195,595.
The length of carriage drives now open
is upward of seven and a half miles, of
bridle road four and a half miles. The
area of the grounds of the Park, inclu
ding the ne,v addition between 106th
and 110th streets, is a fraction over 853
acres, of which area 94 acres •are occu
pied by carriage, bridle and foot walks,
and 5141 acres are thrown into lawns,
shrubberies, pounds, &c. The pounds,
lakes, ornamental basins, &c., take up
293. acres, and the Croton Lake and old
Reservoir include an area of nearly 142
acres.
SINGTMAR.—The Nashville (Tenn.
Union of the 14th ult., says that, about
the Ist of July, Dr. McGill, of that city,
in operating upon the head of a female
patient, extracted three lumps, each
about the size of a bean. One of these
he preserved in a china box, enclosed
with a tight lid. A few weeks ago, up
on examination, it was found to be a
living worm. The Doctor intends to
keep it and see how much longer it will
live ; or what transformation may take
place.
The Prince of \Vales having gone
to Halifax and left his wife at home, the
English papers had paragraphs saying
that she was indisposed. The Morning

Halifax, H. R. H.'s advisers have only
sought to save her from over-exertion,
which "it is now desirable for her not

LEE FAMILY IN TROUBLE.-It is re•
ported that a great excitement exists in
the Lee family and their circle of friends
at Richmond over the expected execu
tion of Sawyer and Flynn by the rebel
Government. The people, with a char
acteristic thirst of blood, demand that
the sentence of the prisoners be carried
out at once : while General Lee, whose
son Fitzhugh, is held by our Govern
ment as a hostage for Sawyer and
Flynn, demands that Davis shall prevent
their execution, and threatens that if
his son is hung by us in retaliation, to
resign his position in the rebel army,
and leave the Confederacy in disgust.
This story, which bears the mark of
probability, was brought from Richmond
to Washington by an intelligent negto
woman, named Catherine Berke, former
ly a'lave of Curtis Lee's but freed by a
clause in the will of Lee's grand-daugh
ter. She has been in the family of Cur
tis Lee, the eldest son of Gen Lee, and
now on the military staff o f Jeff. Davis
Bear it in mind that George W.
Woodward and Walter U. Lowrie, the

sans upon thousands of brave Pennsyl
vanians who have left home and frierds
to defend the cause of the Union against
armed traitors on the battle-field, and
allowing them no voice iu the selection
of officers to administer the very Go
vernment they are periling their lives to

Sick Headache and want of Appetite Incident
to Soldiers
Those feelings which so sadden us, usually
arise from trouble or annoyances, obstructed
prespiration, or eating and drinking whatever
is unwholesome, thus disturbing the healthful
action of the liver and stomach. These organs
must be relieved, if you desire to do well.—
The Pills,, ta-king according to the printed
instructions, will quickly produce a healthy
lion in both liver and stomach, and as a natu
ral consequence a clear head and good appeiite.
Weakness and debility induced by over Fatigue,
Will soon disappear by the use of these in.
valuable Pills, and -the Soldier will quickly
acquire additional strength. Never let the
bowels be either confined or unduly acted
upon. It may seem strange that Holloway's
Pills should be recommended for Dysentery
and Flux, many persons supposing that they
would increase the relaxation. This is a
great mistake, for these Pills will correct the
liver and stomach and. thus remove all the
acrid humours froth the system. This medi
cine will' give tone and vigor to the whole
organic system however deranged, while
health and strength follow as a matter of
course. Nothing will stop the relaxation of
the Bowels so sure as this famous medicine.
VOLUNTEEkS ATTEIiTJON !
Sores and Ulcers, Blotches- and Swellings
can with certainty be radically cured if -the
Pills are taken night and morning, and the
Ointment be freely used as stated in the printed
nstructions. if treated in any other manner
they dry up in one part to break out in another.
Where%s this Ointm-e n t will remove the
former from the system and leave the Patients
in vigorous and healthy man. It will require
as little perseverance in bad cases to insure
lastng,cure.
For Wounds either occasioned by the Bayonet
Sabre or the Bullet, Sores or Bruises,
To which every Soldier and Sailor are liable
there are no medicines so safe, sure and con
venient as Holloway's Pills and Ointment
The poor wounded and almost dying sufferer
might have his wounds dressed immediately,
if he would only provide himself with this
matchless Ointment, which should be thruss
into the wound and smeared all around it, then
cover viith a piece of Linen from his Knapsack
and compressed with a handkerchief. Taking
night and morning 6 or S Pills, to cool the
