Colcntf Ferney on ,ie Drart,

Colonel Forney writes TO the Pbi!adel-
phia Press: . .
The draft having been ordered by the
President Of the United States. will be
followed by an almost immediate filling
mp Of the recett call for three hundred
thousand volunteers to serve for three
years or during the war. Many who may
be indisposed to await the operation Of
the draft will accept the generous terms
that have been repeatedly offered by the
Government and the people, so that the
old re gimehta now in the service may be
recruiled to their original number, and the
new regiments put in state Of prepara-
ton and discipline. Should these results
be accomplished promptly, the drafted
men will probably be held as great
army Of reserve and occupation. These,
wii6't6e new lsves, and our armies now
10 the field, will give us an effective
fighting force Of more than half million.

kisses and smiles, but they have taker

and terrible recolleciions of the past year,
some white winged angel of memory comes
with soft footsteps 10 sit by this grave,
and seem to hear the voices or the un-
seen choristers singing from the star-lt
silence bsyond. Here is place in mp

autumn leaves have been swept GwaJ to

miss you sorely, who shall say that your

from its eufoldings the precious lock Of
hair, which once waved above that pure
brow, we think OF the crown that now en-
circles it; and those slight golden threads

TIE REBEL RAID UPoN CHAMBERsBUaG- -M0Rn
BuKGLING AND LAUNDERING ON Our SmE--The
raid Of the enterprising cavalry officer of the
rebel army Of Virginia, Gen. Stuart, into
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, is the latest sensa-
ton, and seems to have created much astonish-
ment in all that region of the country. But we
do not see why there should be any surprise
whatever in regard to this affair. The good ford
over the Potomac at Hancock was left unguard-
ed, the country between that point and Cham
bersburg was left open and unobstructed, the
coast was clear, and Stuart dashed in. He
wanted horses and blankets and medicines and
shoes, &C.; and be has doubtless carried OF
quite desirable lot Of these valuable articles,
Governor Curtin, while the hungry and ragged
rebel army of Gen. Lee remained near the
northern end Of the valley Of the Shenandoah
should have kept at least ten thousand Of his
home guards at Cham bersburg. Now that his
horses have been stolen he will probably lock
the stable door. 1t is the old story. We sug-
gest, however, that the shortest way to put an
end to these horse stealing iorays Of General
Stuart is to muster Governor Curtn's seventy
five Thousand men. and move them down to o
combined advance with Gen. Mcclellan upon
the rebel army near Winchester. Why not use
the means, when we have them, for decisive
settlement with these rebeisg
