DESTRUCTION OF GEoRGETowN, s, G.
"A Hilton Head correspondent Of the
New York Tribune saws that the greater
part Of Georgetown, South Carolina, was
destroyed by fire recently, its own cit
liens applying the torch, One state
ment is that Grants victories in Tennes-
see caused perfect panic among the
people hence the wholesale incendiarism.
Another account is to the effect that the
inhabitants had grudge against the
government, and, as the place was filed
with government stores, they took this
method of wreaklng their vengeance on
jeff. Davis e. Co. Among the property
destroyed we're two hundred bales of cot
ton, in one parcel, about to be shipped
on account of the Confederate Govern
ment' to Nassau, to be there converted
into the 'sincws' of war.

BARToN's PATENT Cong Doom BELLS.
Our worthy friend N. j. Berston, Esq +,
has been appointed agent for Barton S
Patent Gong Door Bells, for Allegany,
Washington and Frederick counties.
These Bells are considered by competent
Judges, to be the best door bell in use.
The bell is so simply constructed that it
is not liable to get out of order and give
double stroke to single pull of the
knob 1t is placed in the hall, (thus
dispensing with the long wires, which
disfgure house and get out of repair
so easiy,) and can be distinctly heard
in the various parts of the house.
Those of our friends who desire to
have bell at their door or in their
rooms, are requested to call upon Mr.. N.
J. Berston, who is ready at all times to
put them up at short notice and a reas-
enable terms. Those at distance will
do we'll to address him at this place.

A Grand Army and a Grand Cam
paign without enforcing the
Draft.

All accounts from our different armies
concur in stating as fact that the three
years men, whose terms are expiring, are
re-enlisting by companies. regiments,
and brigades, and the probability is that
threeIfourths of them will re-enlist for
the war. The munticent propositions
of the government TO induce them to do
so are having highly successful effect
on all our troops in the field. The OBJ
ject of the last Presidential Iroolama-
ton in relation to the enforcement of the
draft on the 9th of Januery next, in
such places where the quotas had not
been filled by volunteering, was to meet
the contingency of the three years men
in the field refusing to serve after their
time expired The contrary being the
case, and satisfactory proofs being affor-
ded therefor, there will probably be no
necessity for enforcing the draft to Fill
up the deficiencies in the quotas With
out resorting to the draft, we shall have
by spring a magnificent army of tried
veterans of million men, Including one
hundred thousand cavalry, Injured to the
hardships OF camp life, accustomed to
the country they arc occupying or which
they are fighting, acclmated. fever proof
and courageous and sturdy as ever war;
riors were. The volunteers lately raised
may GIL whatever gaps may have occur
red in the several regiments through the
casualties of war. aud altogether, they
vii present as fine and grand an army
as ever entered field of battle. ---New

THE CoNNELLsvILLE RAILROAD COMA
NY. Important Decision. On Thursday
last, in the United States Circuit Court
at Pittsburg, the matter of the applica-
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company against the Pittsburg and Con-
nellsville Railroad Company, for an in
junction, was decided in favor of plain
tils. 1t will be rcmcm bered that at the
recent election of the stockholders Of the
Conncllsville company for directors, they
refused the votes of several parties be-
cause their stock had not been entered
in the stock ledger. The number of
votes refused was greater than that poll
cd for tho ticket declared by the elect
ion board to fave been successful. Among
these votes refused was the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, who made
application immediately after tho cleo
ton in the United States Circuit Court,
asking for an injunction to restrain the
parties declared BY the board to be cleo
ted from acting as directors. and request
ing the court to declare the gentlemen
named in the opposition ticket be really
elected, majority Of the stockholders
having rendered their votes for the same.
The following are, therefore, the direc-
tors Of tire Pi,tsbarg and Connellsvile
Railroad for the ensuing year: William
S. Bisscll, VIM. bingham. John Flcm-
ing, Joseph Ponnock, G L. Il. Fetter-
man, VIM. Baldwin, Pittsburg; Cyrus
Myers, Somerset county, Benjamin De-
ford, William Il. Murdock, Benjamin
II. Latrobe. Joseph II Marston, VIM.
W. Taylor of Baltimore. Immediately
after the decision of the Court, U. S.
Marshal Murdoch served the order of
the Court on the sitting board. The
new board will take possession forthwith.
1t is reported that an appeal will be ia
ken to the U. S. Supreme Court.

REBELLION STAGGERING

The traitors of the South acknowledge
that unless they can accomplish loan ana a
eonscription by April, their cause Is lost. -
E.cidHye.
When the amount Of the loan and the
size Of the CONSUMPTION req uired by rebel
cyigcncies are considered, this confession OF
the South is an acknowledgment of defeat,
because the demand, which is to this extent
imperative, cannot, under the nature OF things
he compiled with. In his recent elaborate
report, Mr. Momminger, the rebel Secretary
Of the Treasury, called for nine hundred
millions of dollars The Secretary Of War
asked for the CONSUMPTION Of all males be-
tween fifteen and filty-fve. The financs oil
the Confedcracy have reached such posi-
ton that it is not probable the ninth part
Of the sum called for could be obtained by
ihc most rigid exacions gold is not to be
found anywhere foreign exchange is only
memory. United States money is reprcsen-
ted by the triling sums which have been
stolen, and the paper Of the Conlederacy has
deprecated to the last point preceding col
lapse. If the people were inclined to pay,
they are without the ablity-n many places
tie disposition is as scant as The ability.
The CONSUMPTION is as weak a staff as the
lean; although, being dependent upon it, a
failure Of the latter is equivalent to COM
petc failure. The levies Of men have al
ready included lads Of fourteen and adults
Of sixty. The last rcinforccmens were OBJ
famed only by the exercise CT brnte force,
and consequently provided no men with feel
ings like those which won Manassas and lost
Chattanooga. The South is actually suffer-
ing from military exhaustion. The decima-
ted regiments cannot be rcfilled-new ones
cannot be recruited These statements COM
prise the unanimous testimony of the past
six months.
Therefore, the confession which we have
quoted comedies everything. Even if it did
not the result is the same. Our armies have
been recruited, and continue to be; our cur
rcncy is sufficient; the spirit of the nation
is with the administration, and the Admin
