if Lee does not resist our crossing, it is evil
dent he is not strong enough to fight outside
of his Qualifications. In the latter event he
will fall back upon Gordonsvlle or Rich

The report that Lees army is at Hanover
Junction is only speculation. 1t will soon
be known exectly where it is, for Meade
will not stop until he finds it, if he has to

The Ends of Justice Defeated.

In the report oil the proceedings Of Court,
last week, we published the fact that Jo-
seph Oliver and Joseph O.terstock had
been convicted of assault and battery and
sentenced to thirty days. Imprisonment in
the county Jail. The case, from the evi.
denco, was clear one, and the sentence
in conformity with the aggravated nature
of the assault. With these facts in view
it can readily be perceived how the senses
of the order-loving and law abiding citi.
zens were shocked when they learned that
slmost before the ink was dry with which
the sentence was recorded, a pardon for
the convicted was produced. What rep
reservations were made to the Governor
to induce him to act thus hastily we are
not prepared to say; but we know, and
his friends will find out, that if political
capital was the incentive, they have over
shot the mark. This is almost equal to
the pardon, by the same Governor, of
party in Northumberland county, in 1861, =,
who were convicted for beating and NAL
treating man upwards Of 60 years of age
We will only add, by way of illustration,
that in both cases the convicted were Re-
publicans and the assaulted Democrats.
Yet this same Governor Curtin calls him
self no-party man, and unblushingly
asks Democrats to vote for him and keep
him in the position he thus disgraces.

Artemus on the Draft.
GArtemus Ward (Mr. Chas. r. Brown,)
sent ,,s The followino UCircnlar,"l

Artemus Ward (Mr. Chas. F. BroTns)
sent us the following "Circular,"l
CIRCULAR No.7s.
AS the undersigned has been led to fear
that the law regulating the draft was not
wholly understood, Notwithstanding the
numerous explanatory circulars that have
issued from the National Capital, of late,
he hereby issues Circular of his own;
and if he shall succeed In making this
favorite measure more clear 10 discern
ing public, hc will feel that he has not
lived in vain:
]. A young man who is drafted aud in
advertantly goes to Canada, where he
becomes embroiled with robust English
party, who knocks him around so as to
| disable him for life, the Same recurring in
licensed bar-room on British soil, such
young men can not receive pension on
account of said injuries from the United
States Government, nor can his heirs or
creditors.
II. No drafted man in going to the ap.
pointed rendezvous will be permitted to- 90
round by way of Canada on account of the
roads boing better that way, or because his
"uncle William" lives there:
III. Any gentleman living in Ireland,
who was never in this country, is not LA
BILE to the draft, nor are our forefathers.
This latter statement is made for the ben
eft of those enrolling officers who have
acted on the supposition that the able-bod-
led male population of place included
dead gentlemen in the cemeteries.
~. The term of enlistment is for three
years, but any man who may have been
drafted in two places has right to go for
six years, whether the war lasts that
length of time or not-a right this depart
mcnt hopes he will insist on.
V. The only sons of poor widow,
whose husband is in California, are not
exempt; but the man who owns stock in
the Vermont. Central Railroad is. So,
also, are incessant lunatics, habitual lec-
turers, persons who were born with wood
ed legs or false teeth, blind men (unless
they will acknowledge that they "can SEQ
it'') and people who deliberately voted for
John Tyler.
vi. No drafted man can claim exemp.
ton on the ground that he has several
children whom he supports and who do
not bear his name, or live in the same
house with him, and who have never been
introduced to his wife, but who on the
contrary, are endowed with various moth
ers, and "live round.' A.W.

A Much-needed Reform.

General Meade has issued an order
giving full freedom of choice to the army
in the selection Of newspapers. 1t is ord
ercl that any officer or enlisted nan
wishing to purchase any daily or weekly
journal, not now furnished by the agent
appointed under the provisions of the cir
cular of June ,, may give notice thereof
tn the provost marshal OF the command
to which he beloags, who shall forward
the same through the provost marshal Of
his corps TO the PROVOST Marshall General
who shall instruct said agent to furnish
The same without delay, and a neglect on
ais part to comply with such Instructions
shall be held sufficient cause for vacating
hia appointment.
We congratulate our Democratic sold
,ers upon this reform in the system of sup
plying newspapers to tho army, which
has been heretofore the subject Of much
complaint, monopoly of the trade having
ocen secured By certain abolition journals,
50 the exclusion Of those Of Democratic
and Conservative principles.

The CoNTRABAND SYsTgM.-A letter
to the Chicago Times, dated Helena, Ark. .,
Aug. 18th, tells pitiful story, as fol.
lows:
Emancipation in this part of the country
has already proved sorry thing for the
poor contrabands. They have come within
our lines, some voluntarily, some by force
of armed guards sent to bring them, and
then left to starve and die of every disease
to which Incidence and exposure rends
them liable. They have not had enough
of the plainest ne cessities to support them
in health, and, when sick, no medical at,
tendance whatever has been furnished -
AS a result, during and since tho admins
tra:ion of Gen. Curtis, eight thousand con,
trabands have died at Helena.

enough to say, that the man whose con-
duct ha, disgraced the commonwealth and
largely contributed to ruin the Republic,
has proved himselfunfit for the great trust
in which is involved the happiness, safety
and prosperity of millions.
The ineficiency which be thus exhibited
at the commencement of the contest, per-
vadod his entire administration, and was
consistently conspicuous ip the last fatal
error-whon he supinely stood by aud
permitted the rebels to ravage pennsylva-

Gov. Curtin is as responsible for the State
invasion, as for the disaster at Bull r up.

RESISTANCE TO THE DRAFT.-In one
of the Philadelphia barracks are confined
two Quaker conscripts, coming from q
wealthy family of Quakers named Smed-
ley, who reside at West Chester, Pa
These men contend that they have con-
scientious scruples as to going to the war /;
they will not FIRE musket or draw human
blood, nor pay the Communication money nor
furnish substitute, because, in their
opinion, it would be making an acknowl-
edgmsnt not consistent with the views of
the Society to which they belong. And
yet, if we are not mistaken, the Quakers
generally have no scruples of conscience
against encouraging others to fight fol
the abolition of slavery.

Bs5~ The Rev. Soloman Stoddard, of
Northampton, the ancestor of all the
Stoddards,-and o troop they are of
worthy sons of a worthy sire--had black
boy in his employ who was like most of
black boys, full of fuu and mischief and
always up to joke, no matter at whose
expense. He went with the parsons
horse every morning 10 drive the COWS to
pasture. 1t was a piece of table-land
some little distance from the village; and
here, ost of sight, the neighbors boys we're
wont to meet him and race horses every
Sunday morning. Parson Stoddard heard
of it and resolved 10 catch them at it and
put an end to the sport.
Next Sunday morning he told Bill he
would ride the mare to pasture with the
COWS and he (BilD might stay at home
Bill knew what was in the wind, and tax
ing a short cut across the lots, was up to
the pasture away ahead of the Parson.--.
The boys were there with their horses,
only waiting for Bill and his masters
mare. He told the boys to be read =, and
as soon as the old gentleman arrived, to
give the word, 60 Bill hid himself at
the other end of the field where the race
always ended.
The parsOn came jogging along ant the
boys sat demurely on their steeds, as if
waiting for Service to begin But as the
good old man rode into line they cried
Coz and away went the mare with the
reverend rider sticking fast like John Gill
pin, but there was no stop to her or him.
Away ahead of all the rest, he went like
the wind ; and at the end of the field, Bill
jumped up from under the fence, and
sung out. Il knOw'd you beat, Massa

A HABEAs CoRpUs FROM THE SUPREME

A HABEAs CoRPUs FROM THE SUPREME
CoURr.-The Supreme Court Of Pennsyl-

oil habeas corpus last week upon the Pro-
vost Marshal, 10 produce the body of a
drafted man who had beea exempted by
the Examining Board and certificate to
that effect given him, but who afterwards
had been arrested, examined and pro-
nounced fit for duty the allegation being
error in the first examination. On par
tial hearing the District Attorney obtained
leave to amend the return in order to put
in plea against the jurisdiction of the
Court, contending that the State Courts
had no jurisdiction over questions arising
undor the new eonscription law. On the
subsequent hearing that plea was abandon
ed, and the argument was confined to the
point above stated. After full hearing
Chief Justice Lowrie ordered the discharge
Of the man holding that, from all that
appeared by the return, the Board had
exhausted their power when the certificate
of exemption was granted, and that they
bad no further control over the prisoner.
