THE MKT DRAFT.-In accordance
with instructions issued by Provost Mar
shal General Fry, the Provost Marshals
of the different districts are preparing for
the draft to take place on the 9TH of JAN
uary next, in the event of failure to fill
our quota by enlistments. The new order
will result in furnishing more men than
the last as the exemptions are to be heard
before and not after the drawing. The
Marshals are required to post up in con-
spicuous places in their districts, the list
of all the names now in the wheel, and
from which the draft is to be made on the
9th of January. Citizens who find upon
examination that persons have been omit
ted from this list, are requestad to report
at headquarters, all who claim exemp-
tion from the draft will be required to pre-
sent themselves before the Board before
the 10th of December. Thus the exemp-
tions will be passed upon before the draft,
and the consequence will be that when the
names are drawn on the 9th of Jannary.
the Government viii secure more men in
response to its call than under the former
system. The list of names required to be
posted have already been issued, and all
who claim to be exempt should see to it
that their case is disposed of before the
10th of this month. In view of the fact
that there is little doing in the way of en-
listments, the prospectsfor draft are very
bright for those who admire the later mode
of raising troops.

VIoToRY.-Decisivc news at last
from East Tennessee, news more glo-
rious and infinitely more important
than if we had heard of battle and
victory slmostanywhere else. The
siege of Knoxville is at an end. The
Rebel effort to regain East Tennessee
is abandoned forever. Longrtreet is
in full retreat toward Virginia, our
cavalry pursuing.
The country may breathe freer.-
We can hardly realize the tremendous
peri. we have escaped. East Tennes-
see was so long neglected that its val
ue even now is only half understood,
yet it is true beyond question that the
loss of it is absolutely fatal to the
Rebel Confederacy. Our possession
of it makes the military subjugation
of all the territory which still owns
the lawless sway Of Jefferson Davis
only question Of time. Nothing but
despair could have driven the Rebels
to abandon their effort, and the con-
viction that it can never be recovered
will be equally potent to paralyse their
operations in other quarters.
1t does not seem clear whether
Longstreet is likely to be overtaken,
or his retreat seriously interrupted.
But that is of less moment. We are
satisfied to learn that Sherman and
Foster are in pursuit, and will do what
is possible to destroy the Rebel force
which they have helped to defeat.-
Their arrival doubtless determined the
raising of the siege, but the credit of
the defense is General Burnside's
alone. His whole campaign has been
a masterpiece, and his final stand at
Knoxville is what saved us the State
and shortened by many months the
duration of the war.

sy- Advice is almost the only commo-
dity which the world is lavish in bestew-
ing, and scrupulous in receiving, although
it may be had gratis, with an allowance to
those who take a quantity. We seldom
take it until too late, and still more rarely
while there is yet time to profit by it,
Great tact and delicacy are required either
in comforting or seeking this perilous boon,
for, where people do not take your counsel,
they generally take offence and, even
where they do, yeu can never be sure that
you have not given pain in giving advice.

Observation-Disclosures" says Sir
Joshua Reynolds, {" is never granted to man
but as the reward of labor. 1t argues, in
deed,no small strength Of mind topersevere
in habits of industry, without the pleas
ure of pcrceiving these advantages, which,
like the hands of a clock, whilst they make
steady approaches to their point, yet pro-
ceed so slowly as to escape observation.

GREAT GUNS IN THE NAvY.--The
Report of the Ordinance Bureau gives
an interesting view of the enforced
progress of work in that important
branch of service. The naval ordi-
nance at the beginning of 1861 con-
sisted of 1872 thirty-twos, 675 eight
inch, 305 nine-inch Dahlgreens, ten
inch, old and new, 32 eleven-insh
Dahlgreens; making {, $50 heavy guns
with 20 twenty-fours, 107 twelves,
and 1876 boat howitzers. We have
now 1902 howitzers of all kinds, l.
S72 thirty-twos, SIS eight-inch, S0S
nine-inch Dahlgreens ten inch, old and
new, 1913 eleven inch Dahlgrens, Sc
ten inch, old and new, 1913 eleven inch
Dahlgreens, 200 thirteen nchmortars
214 twenty pound Parrots, 237 thirty
pound Parrots, 180 one hundred-pound
PARROTS, 60 northumberland fifty
pound PARROTS, 13 twenty-pound RI
fed PARROTS, and 36 fifteen inch smooth
bores; in all, 5,777 pieces, against
1906 in 1861. Over 700 more guns
of the new sort will be done before the
year closes. Several new founderies
have been started, and the means are
now equal to the demand. The enor-
nous omount of projectiles used may
be seen in the following figures:
Shells, made and bought, 67S,617;
shot, S0,392; sharpnell, grape, and
canister, 9443, ,948 pounds. OF gun
powder $3.50 tuns have been ordered
since March 1, 1S61-of which 2,676
tuns were from foreign inter. The
report details operations in small
arms, gun carriages, fuses, &c. All
this appertains to the Navy alone
The report says; "The general eff
cheney of the ordinance of our Navy
far excels that of any other, its supe-
riority being due mainly, or wholly, to
the improvements of the last two
years. Further extensive improve
ments are in contemplation, and esti-
mates in accordance arc presented to
Congress.

SIGNS OF DEATH.-The Quarterly
Review has curious article on the
dying moments of distinguished per-
sons. The case of Cardinal Wolsey
is we'll known. The morning before
he died, he asked Cavendish the hour
and was answered past eight. eight
of the Clock replied Wolsey, ssthat
cannot be--eight of the clock nay
nay, it cannot be eight; for by eight
of the clock you shall lose your mas
ter" He miscalculated the day, the
hour came true. On the following
morning, as the clock struck eight,
his troubled spirit passed from life.--
Boerhaave lay feeling his pulse till
some newly published work he wished
to read had arrived. Heread it, and
exclaiming that the business of life
was passed, died. Miss Linley died
singing, 81 know that my Redeemer
liveth." Napoleon fought his battles
over again, and his closing words were
"tete d'armee;' Lord Tenderden,
who passed straight from the judg-
ment seat to the dcath-bed, fancied
himself still presiding at trial, and
expired with, "Gentlemen of the Ju-
ry, y,youwill now consider your verdict"
DIR. Adam, author of the "Roman An
tiquities," imagined himself at school
praise and censure among
his pupils. "But it grows dark" he
said, "the boys may DISMISS" and
instantly died.

NARROW EsCAPE.-On Sabbath night,
the 9th inst, Rev. r. j. Coulter and fam
lily were awakened from their slumbers
by a strange and unusual noise and a smoth-
ering sensation. To their surprise and as
tonishment their dwelling was on fire. The
firehad communicated with frame partition
which was in flames, and, from all appear
ances, it was thought, the dwelling must
be consumed but not dcspairing, Mr..
Coulter and family went to work without
delay to extinguish the flames; and, with
the assistance of some of their nearest
neighbors, they finally succeeded in mas
tering the flames, and thus saved house
and furniture, although both were much
damaged. We have not been informed
how or by what means the fire occurred.
Persons should be careful to examine
the different departments of their dwell
ings before retiring to rest, in order to
guard against fire. The numerous friends
of Mr.. Coulter and family, we have no
doubt, will feel much gratified at this
seemingly Providential escape of himself
and family.

DEDICATION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHuRcH.-The New Presbyterian Church
of Batter was dedicated to the service of
God on Wednesday last. The day was
propitious, and a large congregation as
sembled, composed of the members of the
various churches of the place, and of stran-
gers from distance. After invocation,
by Rev. David Hall, and reading the
Scriptures, by Rev. E. Ogden, with sing
ing an original hymn; Rev. VIM. D. How
ard, d. D., of Pittsburgh, made the ded-
icatory prayer. Afterward he preached
on the text: " Ye shall reverence my Sane
tuary" The discourse was one of great
learning and power; and it was listened
to with marked attention.
The Pastor, Rev. Loyal Young, deliv-
cred brief address, giving an account of
the advancement of the congregation, step
by step, since its organization. He stated
among other things, that Rev. DIR. Niblock
had been pastor of his church 1.-THE Uni
ted Presbyterian for forty-four years
that the Rev. VIM White had been pas
tor of the Episcopal church for twenty
six years; and, that he Rev. Young) had
been pastor of the Presbyterian church
for thirty years. Their combined pasto-
rates would equal one hundred years. He
also stated that the church had been built
: at q cost of about six thousand dollars;
that it had been paid for; and that, with
the exception of about eighty dollars, the
scxpenses Of its erection had been borne
entirely by the congregation.
A contribution was then called for to
assist in paying for the furniture and
'other necessary improvements, which re-
suited in sum Of two hundred and twen-
sty-five dollars; the people of the different
churches present contributing literally.
The new church is an ornament to cur
village.
AT half past six o'clock, Rev. David
hall preached a sermon Of rare excellence
and beauty, which enchained the audi
ence, inspiring them with love to the Sane
tuary. The occasion throughout was one
.sof special interest.
