ANOTHER STATEMENT ABOUT THE
DRAFr-The New York correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Ledger says the
Government is inclined to accept mon
ey in lieu Of personal services from per-
sons who are drafted, The writer says
that number of New York gentlemen,
acting in harmony with the Union De-
fence Committee, had a conversation
with Secretary Stanton in regard to
certain features of the conscription.
They report that not only is Mr.. Stan
ton, but the President also, anxious
that the draft should be extended in
such manner as will occasion the least
Inconvenience to the people. The draft
probably will not be an indiscriminate
one. A distinction will be drawn be-
tween persons who have families de-
pendent upon them and persons who
have no such membranes; and in re-
gard to substitutes, the assertion of the
Tribune that the Napoleonic system
will be adopted, is substantially correct,
that is to say. "the price of the sub
stitutes will be fixed by the Govern
ment, and any man. paying $500 or
$500. will be permitted to remain at
home. The amount will be offered by
the Government as a bounty, which
will fll the ranks OF the Union armies
Immediately. In the course of a few
days it is believed that an order will be
issued from the War Department, Civ
ing the weight of authority to these sug'
gestions.

self being in Prices army, she was
left alone, at the mercy Of every ma
rauding band that came along. In
this situation she conceived the despe-
rate idea of making her way to an un-
Gle in Chicago. She accordingly, with
six dollars and half in her purse,
started on her long journey. Shortly
after leaving home, she was stopped by
party Of guerrillas. who, finding
that she was on her way "North, ="
robbed her of her money, and treated
her in the hsrshest manner. She in
formed US that she sometimes suffered
from hunger, but occasionally met with
generous-hearted persons on the road,
who deeply sympathized with her, and
relieved her more pressing wants. The
wandering exile finally succeeded in
getting beyond danger, and reaching
the Pacific railroad, over which she ar
rived last night. With the exception
of the trip by railroad, the whole Of the
distance from Washington county, Ar
kansas, was accomplished on foot.
The poor creature appeared this
morning at the Central Police Station,
and was much prostrated by her long
and tedious tramp. She was misersbly
clad, and is afflicted with weak eyes.
She tells clear, straightforward story
concerning her troubles. and evidently
is an intelligent girl. Her two brothers.
now in the rebel army, are named
Frank and John, and are aged respect
lively fifteen and seventeen years.
She is now properly cared for at the
Central Police Station, and will remain
there until arrangements are made to
send her to her relatives in Chicago

as having been taken from the dead
Another was an intelligent-lookIng and
determined negro, who fought. we
were told, with the utmost desperation
as he was about to be captured.
The rebels next attacked our forces
at Kellyville, or Kelly's Ford. While
the cannonsding was going on above,
and all was quiet at this point. and our
boys we're regaling themselves with
broiled beef. &C., rebel major came
over among them, who had become
faint with hunger, and begged few
crackers. These, and some coffee and
beef being given to him, he resigned
himself to our charge, where, in future,
his creature wants will be more gene
rously and plentifully supplied than
among the needy rebels.
The attack at Kelly's Ford was re-
pulsed, and the cannonading ceased
about five O'Clock in the afternoon
Our line of battle was maintained, and
the men slept on their arms all night.
The enemy having felt our lines at va
rious points, but principally at those
named, we expected a night attack,
and waited with much anxiety, each
moment expecting to hear from him, but
all was quiet during the night.
In the morning, however, at quar-
ter past FIVE o'clock, he opened bat
terry on our center, and continued vig-
orously to throw shot and shell for seve-
raj hours. A little higher up it was
discovered that the enemy had, during
the night, erected bridge over the
river.
At this point the most brilliant and
successful affair of the day is reported
to have occurred. In the vicinity Of
this bridge was one of General SigePs
batteries, on which the rebels opened a
brisk fire, to which, for time, our
battery replied with spirit. In little
while our FIRE slackened, and then
ceased. the battery having been appa-
rently silenced or withdrawn. Three
rebel regiments now rushed across the
bridge, and Sigel offered no opposi-
ton.
Everything seems favorable, but alas!
the scene soon changes. No sooner
have they crossed than Sigel opens his
battery on the bridge. The Fourth
shot completely demolishes it. and at
the same time deadly FIRE of musketry
assails the rebels in front. Their re-
treat is cut off. No hope is left. A
few shots from our battery, charge,
and they are ours. Not man escaped
Nearly 1000 are said TO have been cap
tured, and about 400 killed and wound
ed.
The enemy having failed in this, now
hurl forward their forces with impetu-
osity, and strive TO outfank Sigel by
crossing at French's ford; Gen. Pope
orders up Banks and Reno to the aid Of
Sigel, and the enemy is again repulsed,
and moves higher up the river. How
the next attempt Of the enemy succeed
ed, have not yet learned.

HrSRr's REPEArIxo R1rrr.-Mr.

HEsRT's REPEATING RIrrz.-Mr.
Stanton, the agent for this most remark
able and efficient Of all firearms ever
invented, is again in our city prepared
to negotiate for the sale OF the splendid
weapon. the depot being now at the
store of A. B. Semple & Co.. on Main
street.
This weapon has created great SEN
sation wherever known, and it would
have done so even in ordinary times
1t has no defect, it is liable to 10 objec-
ton whatever, and It's combination Of
advantages Is not only wonderful, but
unparalleled. 1t is sighted for various
distances from q hundred to thousand
yards, doing powerful execution at all;
it can be loaded with fifteen charges in
scarcely more than that number Of
seconds, and the whole can be fred of
in Eve or six seconds; it has all the nice
accuracy Of the old Kentucky rife. and
is so simple in its construction as to
never get out of order; no immersion
in water or length of time the loads
are retained endangers the loss Of
shot; there is no conceivable possibility
of an accidental discharge, no matter
what force may be brought to bear upon
the weapon; and, if at any time there
is occasion to withdraw the fifteen
charges, the whole work can be done
almost as quick as fifteen bullets could
be turned out Of a tumbler.
II any of our friends want protection
in their homes, or if any Of them are
going to hunt guerrillas, or intending
to take their places anywhere in the
armies of the Union, we earnestly sd
wise them to supply themselves with
Henry's rifle. In our opinion, there is
no other known rife that can enter at
all into competition with this. And
our judgment is confirmed by the
judgment of better judges than our
selves, though we think we are pretty
good ones.-Lou. Jour.

Selecting Seed Wheat.

We'baYo before alluded to the expert.
meht Of Mr.. Hallett, Of Brighton, in
England, in the selection Of his wheat
for seed, and the results which have al
tended it, It is an interesting and i'm
portant matter with the farmer, and one
which we desire TO press upon tho alien
ton Of orr readers. Mr.. Hallett COM
menced his experiments in Sept. 1852.
Hetheu planted one grain Of whoat,and
year by year selected most carefully the
produce Of the finest heads Of seed for
the neYt years crop, and improving eve
ry successive harvest, he has at length
more than doubled the size OF the origi-
nal heads, the weight Of the product has
largely increased, aud he is enabled to
SOW much earlier than formerly. These
are most important considerations.
1t will be remembered that at the meet
ing of the Board Of Agriculture last win
ter, Mr.. Haihes, OF Aroestook, stated that
he one year separated bis seed wheat so
as 10 have the largest, heaviest kernels
only, to sow. In this way he obtained
about one peck from bushel. A bush.
ell and half Of this selected wheat was
sowr side by side in another field, with
wheat uncleansed, and the former was
four times as good as the latter, and the
yield cOrrespondingly heavier. The
fields upon which it was sown were uri.
form in character throughout, and this
difference in the looks Of the wheat
could be distinguished hs far as the field
could'be viewed so as TO see the grain.
The benefit Of careful selection Of
seed through number Of years, become
SO evident that we think farmers can but
profit from the experiments which have
thus far been made in this direction; and
there is this advantage to it, that the plan
is open to each farmer alike, and with
Int o small expense attending the opera
'iion. To raiso pure crops of every vari
. ETY. Of seed, is Of the greatest impor
lance, and we wonder Atithasso long
been neglected. --[Maine Farmer.

The first run is the finest, If you want
to make use Ofit the first season; but It
will mol keep long without losing lis fine

To make good sound wine that will
improve by age, the plan is TO mix al

AYER'S
Ague Cure,


intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Billions Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases OTigis
Mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the MaIaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than q sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that il will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use In any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service i'll the
communities where il prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baloful distcnper. This "CURI" eXpels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the Inst APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, hut also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body and in bilious districts, where Ever
AND AoUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no Q,inism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy US if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
Of the miasmatic poison. A great variGtyof
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache
Blindness, Toothache, Earachc, Catarrh, Astb-'
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection Of tl!S
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, C0fc,
Paralysis and Derangcmcnt Of the Stomach,
MI Of which, when originating liz this cause,
put on the intermittent type, Or become period
ical, This +" CURE" eXpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. II taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the ILL
fiction, that will be eXcrcted from the system,
md cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intcrmittents, il they nral
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fords.
