THE sUFFER1sGs IN EAST TENNESSEE.

HE SUFFERINGs IN EAST TENN
The late rebel CONSUMPTION seems to have
been the only act required to complete the
ruin of East Tennessee. The able-bodled
men had iher been forced into the rebel
ranks made their escape. The rebel
government now demands the services of all
between the ages OF forty five and fifty five,
A requisirion has been made by Davis OF Gov.
e=nor Harris for 6 900 OF this class. aud, as
many will escape, this number will take a.
bout all that may be left up to fifty five years.
Recent accounts show that the attempts of
conscripts TO escape are met by the most wan
ton cruelties by the rebels, who do not at
tempt 10 take them, but shoot them down
like wild beasts whenever and wherever found
The inhumau slaughter of these unfortunates,
occurring daily and openly, is absolu tely
horrible, and would be Incredible but for the
| testimony of scores OF witnesses who have ar
rived within our lines. A Lexington (Ky)
correspondent says
"NeIther this war nor any other can surpass
the lnhuman cruelties praetised by these rel-
els in East Tennessee. Even this last con-
scription act is intended and employed more
SIS cloak 10 their barbariiies than to obtain
soldiers, since ii furnishes excuse to seize
property, hang, kill, and vent the most infer
nal passions with impunity. Boys under
twelve years have been shot on their knees at
their mothers feet /; Union men, old and
oung. have been shot and hanged in the pes.
ence of their agoniZed wives or mothers, fe-
males have been brutally murdered for con-
cealing their sons or husbands, or violated
IN the presence of .heir bound and helpless
male protectors. Rapint. pillage, arson, rape
and murder are no longer crimes in East
Tennessee. and no rebel soldier has vet been
punished for any offence against a Union man
or woman. And these are the demons who
prate OF the rights and superior civilization,
who northern peace Democrats think are
wronged, and TO whom northern mudsilIs
should submit the control of the government. y

GENUINE "coPPERHEADn CREED.

In recent speech at Bucyrus, Ohio Mr..
David Tuttle, regular Copperhead of the Val
landigham stripe, made use of the folloing Ian
guage:
s'Gentlemen, before we go to the ballot box.
we viii put on the eatridge box aud for one.
/ declare | owe no allegiance TO Abe Lincoln.
Dave Tod or Jesus Christ Men of Crawford
County take up your arms and keep your pow
der dry
''Can this be true ?'' ssOf course il can ~
Then 1t is but fair to infer that the above is a
true definition of the phrase, s.resisting the
Government at the ballot box,'' of which we
have heard SO much from Copperhead speak
ers, even here in Clearfield. Will the hon.
est loyal men of our county bear this in
mind

THE .DEMocRAcYn AND FREE SPEECH

THE DEMOCRACY" AND FREE SPRECH
In 1855, the test ofssBuchanan Democracy
was the support of the policy of forcing sla-
very, into Kansas. The Missouri "Democrats'
adopted ''code'' for Kansas, aud Buchanan
sent an army there to enforce if. Below We
give copy OF one of the sections of that
acode "a
elf any free person, by speaking or writing,
assert or maintain that persons have not the
right to hold slaves in this territory, or print,
publish, write, circulate, or cause TO be intro
duced into this territory, any book, paper,
magazine, pamphlet, or circu lar, containing
any denial of the right TO hold slaves in this
territory, such person shall be deemed guilty
of felony, and punished by Imprisonment at
hard labor for a term OF not less than two
years."
But we had not word then from the now
Copperhesd press about the great rights of
free speech and free press.

w ASHINGToN. July IL.

Circular No. At.
L. Drafted men become soldiers in the ser
vice OF the United States, by the fact of their
names having been drawn III the draft.
The notification served upon them by the
Provost Marshal, is merely an announcement
of the fact OF an order for them 10 report for
duty at designated time and place.
The following opinion of the Hon. VIM.
Whiting, Solicitor OF the War Department,
is published for the information of all con-
cerued
When person has been drafted, in pursu-
ance of the enrolment act of March 8, 1868,
notice of such draft must be served WITHIN
ten days thereafter, by a written or printed
notice, TO be served on him personally, or
by leaving copy at his last place of resi-
dence, requiring him to appear at a desig-
mated rendezvous to report for duty. Any
person falling to report for duty afteI the TO-
lice has been left at his last place of resi-
dence, or served on him personally, without
furnishing substitute or paying $500, is pro-
nounced by law TO be deserter. He may be
arrested and held for trial by court MARTA /,
and sentenced to death.
If person, after being drafted and before
receiving notice, deserts, the notice may still
be served by leaving it at his last place of res
idence, and if he does not then appear in ac-
cordance with the notice or furnish a subst-
tnte, or pay the $780, he will be in law a de
serter, and must be treated accordingly.
There is no way or manner in which a per-
son once enrolled can escape his duties, and
when drafted, whether present or absent.
whether he change his residence or abscond,
the rights of the United States against him
are secured, and it is only 10y the performance
OF his duty to the country that he will escape
the liability to be treated a criminal.
(Signed.) VIM. WHITING
Solicitor of the War Department.
JAMES B. Fry,

Reasonable notice will be given throughout
