How Affairs are Managed.

Less that a.year ago boy imbecile in
mind arrived at the port OF Philadelphia,
from Europe, and brought 10 William
sport, where his parents reside. Several
months ago he srayed from the residence
of his parents, and by some means found
his way to Philadelphia, where the substi-
tule sharks got hold of him, and gotta board
of enrolement 10 accept him a substitute
no doubt paying the members OF the
board portion of the substitute money.
The boy was given eighty dollars as his
share, and during the first night after his
acce p;ance the money was stolen from hi 5
pocket-in all probability by the very men
who gave il TO him Alter being sent to
camp-where, of course his condnc, was
nothing more nor less than that OF partial
idol-he was frequently hog9ed, and sew
eral times officers (who could see il they
had brains enough 10 see anything but hush
money, what kind of boy he was,) pre-
seEted a pistol TO his head and threatened
10 blow his brains out-a threat which II
executed would have covered the guilt oi
all concerned, and perhaps will yet be ex-
cuted, for that purpose. a !ew days
ago this BOY was provided with free pass
from camp to WiIliamsport and back again,
and given tickets for Curtin and Agnew,
with instructions how TO obtain their accep-
tance al the polls, and a threat that he
would be shot if he did not vote Them, and
sent home 10 follow out these orders Of his
officers, Notwithstanding he is a minor, a
foreigner OF less than one years residence,
and his mental incapaciiys The VIII ole
transaction acceptance OF him as a
substitute, the theft OF the pallry sum paid
20 him, his admission to military camp as
soldier, the abuse he has,suffered while 10

chapter in human depravity too monstrous
for contemplation.

ting facts, he can easily have his doubts

Rich Ministers in New York.

A New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Post, in.the course of gossipping letter
10 that Journal touches on the subject of
'rich ministers" in Gotham. AT the head
of the list the writer places, as OF course,
Acrhipishop Hughes, whose private prop
ery (he saysl amounts to the snug sum of
q round million of dollars. He is the mill
ionaire minister par excellence In the Lo-
lheran Church there is a Rev. j. w. Gels
enhaner, who is reckoned worth $3.50 GOO
and whose secular hours are for the most
part occupied in forging 'lhe silken chain
that binds two willing heart" Thorsan ds

by his aid, reached tho consumation de-
vou;ly wished. His residence, in Four
teeth street, is literally besieged by the
crowds who desire 10 exchange the true low

ing but death can cut
Among The Dutch Reformed clergymen,
Rev. r. Won Nest ranks as the richest
This gentleman has one or two hundred
thousand dollars now, and "has good herit-
age" in prospect of half million more
when his wealthy father reaches the Shin
ing shore. Rev DR.. Hardenbergh, of the
same denomination is estimated worth a
hundred thousand dollars. The Presbyte-
rians, perhaps, have more rich ministers
than any other denomination. Al the
head Of the lisl-the Nesior of the Church

thousand dollars. aud whose young and 10
terestng bride is set down as having three

no one thinks of estimating at less than one
hundred thousand dollars. Rev. Dr.. Potts
and Rev Dr. Phillips each are worth fifty
Thousand, aud several others of the Presby-
lsrian clergy are equally able 10 keep the
wolf from the door. Bishop James, OF the
III. f. Church, possesses treasures on earth
TO the value Of one hundred thousand dol
lars, and so does the Rev. James Floy, the
best politician in that denomination.-
Among The Baptists, Rev. DR. Dowling and
Sommers are set down a; thirty Ihossand

The Presidents Proclamation.

Mr.. Lincoln S Proclamation Of this date,
calling Tor three hundred thousand more
soldiers, and notifying the back States of
another draft within eighty days, was deter
mined upon several weeks ago, at the ur-
gent solicitation of Messrs Satanton and
HalIeck, who told The President that three
hundred thousand troops must be raised
before next spring, otherwise the war
would not be finished in FIVE years. The
document was kept back until this time so
as to withhold its influence upon the late
elections but i. was well known to have
been determined upon, and so publicly an
nounced-only to be denied by the organs
OF the Administration.
Another call for three hundred thousand
troops at this time, when the draft on the
last call for an equal number is hardly fin.
ished, may well surprise The country but
a glance al the military situation shows that
more troops are imperatively necessary 20

territory il now occupies and this surprise
or Observation-Disclosures it may be

escence in and determination 10 support

Stanton and Halleck say, the war may take
FIVE years to fight it out.

idea of resignne the Presidenlisa chair

The Value Of Niger Troops.

A Morris Island correspondent OF the
Syracuse IN. Y. Courier says:
'Of the eolorsd troops have few words
TO say. There are several regiments on
the Island, and have seen enough to en-
able me to decide with ,olerabe accuracy
on their real merits. When detailed TO

tly are by the side of white regiments, the y

can be got out of them when in a fight
they act The same way, unless they happen
10 get into tight place, then they fight like
mad men and tigers, ior they expect no
mercy if taken prisoners. Many OF the
Northern Abolition papers speak in high
laudation of the bravery of the colored
troops, but must confess can't see the
point. Give me the old White Yol,ateer SOL

The Kissing Deacon.

| In one of out New England towns lived
| Deacon Brown, staid, dignified sort of a
Christian, and model of propriely. Deacon
Brown had The misfortune to lose his wife
and at the age Of forty found himself
with a family of four small children,
without mistress 10 his farm house. As
he could not Immediately take another wife
and avoid exciting scandal, and could not
get along without some one 10 take charge
of the kitchen and nursery, he had re-
course TO employing a young woman as
house-maid. Nancy Slerns was a laugh
ing, romping beauty who delighted in ex-
perimentng upon the Deacon by way Of
testing the strength oil human nature. For
a long time the Deacon was invulnerabe
but al last, in moment OF unguarded weak
ness, he was led into temptation, and into
committing ''slight indiscretion" with his
beautiful housemaid. When in his wanted
GOODNESS and presence of mind he was hor>
riied al the ehormiiy of his sin. In vain
he repented and grieved over lost virtue.
Finally as a last effort for easing his con-
science, at the conclusion of the services
on the following Sabbath morning, he
arose and requested the iorbearance of the
brethren and sisters few moments, when
he electrified them by making the folow-
ing confession
'My Christian friends, you all know that
lost my dear wife some months ago, (sobs
and tsars,) and that Nancy Sterns has been
keeping house for me and you know that

tirely, and stood weeping, wailing aud
blowing his nose.

the minister.

the deacon, between his sobs, "but have

How the Pennsylvania Election was Carried.


The Piiisburg Post reveals the means by
which the administration worked up its
large majority in Allegheny county:
The election in the cities of Piilsburg and
Allegheny, and throughout the county, so
far "a we heard from it, was one which
will be remembered by the Democrats who
partici Pated in il as long as they live. We
have heard OF oulrages upon the sacred
right of suffrage, but never until yesterday,
did we know the extent to which reckless
partisan oppression was capable of going.
Men having indisputable right TO vote
were prevented from doing SO, while fell
lows who never knew what tax receipt
was walked boldly 10 the polls and were
received by leading aboliiionists with open
arms. Money was scattered about in PTofu-
sion. tempting The needy and encouraging
the reckless; in short, there was no appli-
ance which money and desperation could
command that was no; arrayed against us
in yesterdays contest. The consequence is,
of course, that we are beaten beyond our
expections. And no wonder. In addition
10 tie powerful influence of money! we had
to contend against camps of soldiers having
no right to vote in this country, but who, of
course went almost unanimous for Curtin.

Sumner for a candid avowal of the purpose
of the radical party in the prosecution OF
the war In The October number of the
Atiantic Monthly, in labored article. he at
much length announces and vindicates
the policy of his party. That policy, or the
end 10 be attained By the war, is this, in
his own language "The soil (of he rebel
States) may be OWNED among patriot sol.
ders, poor Ihiies and freedmen" This
in connection with amalgamaiion as recent.

the programme of the parry.
This policy necessarily requires the ex-
termination or the expulsion of the whole of
the present white population of the South.
This IS in order 10 make room for ;ha, "im

one of the most influential leaders from his
seat in Congress. That is for the present
