A CARD

After two weeks work before the Board of
Enrolment at Chambersburg, it affords the un-
dersigned great pleasure, to testify to the fair
ness, the impar.iality courtesy and efficiency of
the gentlemen composing the board. Whilst
some few mistakes may have been made (and
we think there were) none were wilful, but the
result of errors common to human judgment in
the multitude of cases of every shade and kind
constantly coming before them. The people of
this district can congratulate themselves upon
so fortunate board for their interests Com
potency and fairness, SO far as human foresight
could go, characterized every decision. The
board proper is composed of Capt. Geo. Eyster,
Provost Marshal, DR.. Il. S. Seiss, Surgeon of
board of enrolment and John =. Mcllhenny,
Esq, member of board of enrolment; the fol-
lowing gentlemen as deputies, attaches, &C., ID.
A. Wertz, jeremiah Cook, John NJ Gilmore,

BIZ REQUI
From the Presbyterian.
Paving Church Debts.
By REQUEST.

Messrs. Editors Some of your correspond
cnts are urging upon churches the payment of
their debts. This is a movement in the RIGHT
direction, and it is hoped the matter may arr est
the attention of all churches in debt. There ia
force in the remark Of DR.. j. w. Alexander.
that these debts are a species of pious fraud !;
for, as general thing, when Il church is in debt,
the minister has the interest to pay that is. in
one way and another, it dminishes to that n
mount his salary, or renders the payment of it
difficult, irregular, and with more or less of an
animal arrearage. The church debt often pre.
vents the tull and prompt payment of the sala.
ry, and hence the minister suffers
This leads to word on another kind of church
debts-debts due to pastors for their services.
In many cases there is an annual arrearage and
this is sometimes suffered to accumulate until it
becomes quite formidable to the DELINQUENT
church, and very inconvenient to the suffering
pastor. Sometimes this leads to the severance
Of the pastoral relation; and the pastor retires
with burdencd heart, and sum due him whic,.
may never be paid. 1t is one of the faithful
minister's greatest trials to meet a people Sab
bath after Sabbath who constantly fail in their
pecunlary engagements. This is all wrong
There should be an annual settlement, and no
arrearages should be suffered to arise-they
should not be suffered to continue for an hour.
Yet at this very time, it is to be feared, many
churches are indebted to their pastors, or to those
who have been their pastors; and why should
there not be an effort made Immediately to paw
OFT these debts? No doubt the pastors would
feel better, and labor better, if it were done;
and no doubt the churches would feel better.
and be much more likely to prosper. For my
own part, do not see how q church can hope
to prosper-how it can hope for the Divine bles-
sing, while it withholds what is due to him who
labors in word and doctrine. If the wages of
the common laborer, when kept back, cries for
vengeance, will God be Indifferent TO the cry of
the wages due his servants, and long withheld
from them9 No, verify.
Surely this matter is deserving OF serious con-
slderatlon; and would suggest to the proper
authorities of every church to inquire whether
the pastor has received his due, and if not, that
an effort be made at once to pay him for his pa
tlent and prayerful tolls. Pay your debts-your
church debts-all your debts, especially the
debts due your pastor-it may be long due, and
of which he and his family are in great need.
Pay your debts-pay your church debts-pay
your minister! w. j. NJ.

The Curtin Frauds.

So glaring and undisguised are some of
the frauds committed at the late election by
by the Abolitionists, that we are told the
Democrats intend to investigate them be-
fore the Legislature when that body shall
proceed to count the returns. In the first
ward in the city of Pittsburg, one hundred
and si:rty men have sworn that they voted
for Woodward, whilst the election board of
this ward returned but seuenty-seven for that
candidate. In Allegheny county, several
camps Of soldiers (some of them from Can
ada) were permitted to vote. InLycoming
the same frauds prevailed. Washington
several soldiers took possession of one of
the polls, drove away the election officers
by force of arms, and stuffed the ballot-box
with Curtin tickets. In Philadelphia thou
sands of Abolition voters from other states
ale said to have been colonized. In short,
in almost every township in the State, frauds
of this sort we're committed by the Aboli-
ton wire-pullers, and there can be no doubt
that upwards of 10000 fraudulent votes
were polled for Curtin. We hope our friends
in this county will at once inquire into the
honesty and fairness of the voting done at
their respective polls. Democrats must look
to their rights, if they would ever be sue
eessful in wrestling power from the hands of
their unscrupulous foe. Go to work, ascer-
tain the facts in the case of every man who
voted in your respective districts concerning
whose right to vote doubts we're entertained,
and especially inquire into the citizenship
of EVERY STRANGER who voted at
your polls; and then make lists of such
men, specifying their status as citizens, tax
payers, &C., and send the lists to the Chair
man of the Democratic County Committee
or to the editor of this paper. If we per-
NIT the perpetrators of these frauds to es-
cape without any attempt to rebuke and
punish them, we are derelict in duty which
we owe to each other as citizens and which
is most essential to pure and good govern
ment- Let this duty be discharged.

Rebel Theory of Lees Forward Move
ment,

l have had frequent opportunity of learning
the rebel theory of Lees late movement, having
conversed with many citizens of the country
through which we have during tho past two or
three days passed in the wake of Lees army
and they all tell the same story. 1t is that the
movement was made for the purpose of throw
ing the Army of the Potomac back on Wash
ington and then utterly destroying the railroad
connecting Meades army, on the line of tho
Rapidan, with its base, thus relieving Richmond
from the standing menace which our occupation
of that front of operations held out; exhaus-
ting the season during which it is possible for
us to make fall campaign and throwing us o.
yer till next spring when the dissolution of our
army and prospective rebel operations in the
Southwest would secure them peace.
These views were stated to me as those of
the rebel leaders by (among many others) an in
tclligent and cultivated Englishman named
Green, who lives in the style of an English gem
tleman on a charming estate at Greenwich,
few miles north of Warrenton and with whom
Generals Lee and Ewell, and their respective
stats, stayed last Sunday, while on the retreat

General Character of the Campaign.
The Army of the Potomac has at length set
tied down after its great race up and down Vir-
gnia. The whirl, and hustle and confusion of
the backward and forward movement have 50
far given place to calmer moods that it is posi-
BILE now TO survey with some satisfaction the
series of complicated and exciting events whose
relations and upshot it was at the time impossi.
BILE to grasp.
1t must be acknowledged that the campaign
of the past fortnight has not been one that has
brought much glory to either army. The ope-
rations, with the exception of variety of skr-
mishes and the one considerable brush at Bris-
toe have all been of the kind included under the
term strateGy-that is, marches and mannuvres
ont 9t sight of the enemy. The rebels havcin-
ficted no great damage us. We have infc-
ted no great damage on the rebels. In truth,
the real 'ssults Of tbs nrasre morcmcpt on the
part Of Gen. Ike are to be sought for not so
much in anything that has been accomplished here
IN Virginia, as m Tie relations Of operations here
to the mhote field Of acar. In this regard it re-
mains to be seen how far the progress and for
tunes of the war will lie affected by the late
rebel movement. At present it assumes the
character of a diversion in favor of operations
in the southwest. There is not the shadow of
doubt that considerable portion of the troops
with which Lee threw back Meade are now on
their way to reinforce the rebel army in Ten
nessee for active work against some portion of
the great line now being held by the Union for

100000 More.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Abo-
Etion canvassers promised during the late
campaign, that if Curtin would be re-elect-
ed there would be no more drafting and the
war would end in thirty days, we have a
call from the President for 300, 900 more
men. IF this number of volunteers is not
furnished by next January, the President
politely informs us, he will resort to draft
ing and fill the places of the lacking volun-
teers with conscripts. Now, let the men
who persuaded their fellow-citizens to vote
the Abolition ticket, by representing that
there would be no more drafting in the e.
vent Of Curtin's election, volunteer and save
the men they thus deceived from the new
Conscription. Come, ye men who voted
for Curtin and an indefinite prolongation of
the war, step forward and do your share in
the fighting. Abraham bids you come.
Surely you will not refuse to hearken to his
call. That would be rank disloyaIty. Come !.
