sB- Says the Huntingdon Globe, a
Democratic journal: Elect Andrew 6.
Curtin and you keep in the Chief Mag
istracy of the State man whose heart is
with his country, and against her enemies
whose action has ever been wise and
patriotic, and whose principles are those
of Washington such man as the
times of danger demand, and one in whom
the people may trust as leader, the SOL
der may look to as friend. Keep him
in the gubernatorial chair he fills SO no.
bly,, and you defeat the rebellion at the
polls of Pennsylvania. We ask you,
Democratic voters, can you vote against
this Governor simply because he is not
your party candidate Are you offered
a better man ? Think of what Governor
Curtin has done; of how well he has
been tried !; and answer if party politics
shall force you to oppose him, that a rebel
sympathizer may occupy his place. Ev-
cry man who feels earnestly opposed to
the success of the rebellion must cote for
Curtin.

SIN placing the names of the Union ticket
at the head of our paper, We do not change
our position-we merely avow it more
emphatically and unequivocally. We still
maintain our independence in political
and all other matters. We intend, now
and at all times, to do what we believe to
be right, to support such candidates as are
honest, most capable, and most unequivo-
cally loyal, unawed by demagogues, unia-
fuenced by passion, unswayed by preju-
dice"

sse Pennsylvania has never held so

s0- Pennsylvania has never held so
momentous an election as tina. which takes
place within her borders in October next.
The issue is not local, but national ore.
Heretofore, we have gone to the polls as
Pennsylvanians. Now, we must go to the
polls simply as American citizens. Here
tofore, we have merely had to choose
between the success or failure of this or
that political party. Now, we must choose
between the life or death of the nation
Heretofore, in very many cases. our elec-
tions have recorded the triumph of men,
TIE election we are now about to hold
must record the triumph of a principle
the perpetuity of the American Republic
or it will probably be the last election
that will ever be held within the limits of
our State.

WILL $500 CoMMuTATIoN EXEMPT a
PERSON FROM DRAFT FOR THREE YEARS!
The Lancaster Express publishes the
following opinion Of Hon. Thaddeus Ste
yens. in regard to the effect of the payment
of the $500 Communication by drafted
man, which sets forth the td'o OF the case
in so clear light that we cannot see why
there should be any conflict OF opinion on
that poiut. The conclusion arrived at IS
not only law but it is common sense; and
laws ought certainly to be construed In
accordance with common sense:
"LANcAsTEs, August 27, 1863.
"Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiry,
nv opinion is that the payment OF The
$500 ommutatio1 and the furnishing or
a substitute have precisely the same effect.
Either of them A1es .he drafted man from
further draft for three years. lie Is, In
effect, in service; either by himself OF
another The payment OF s3oo makes
the Government his agent to procure
substitute. The Government has consented
to act as such agent. The law says ne
NAV con or before the day fixed for his
appearance, furnish al acceptable substl-
tute, or pay such sum not exceeding sooo
for the 2rocuration of such substitute, ana
thereupon the person furnishing the sub
stitute, or paying the money, shall be dis
charged from further liability under that
draft.n No one doubts that furnishing
substitute excuses for three years. 10
give different effect to the payment OF
the communication seems to me little less
than an absurdity, 1t is very misehie-
vous misconstruction, which. 1t need be, L
have no doubt Congress will correct.

full to the fre-eaters Of Charleston, is the
invention of Mr.. Short. who was for a long
time suitor to the Government to use
this projectile, but did not succeed until
It was recommended by Admiral Porter
by his experience at Vicksburg. Meantime
representatives of foreign governments
have applied for tbe invention without
avail. The FIRE missiles, forty or Fifty in
number, are enclosed in shell which is

Lancaster TIP. July so, 1850.
MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GESTLEsEs-
The small size No. / Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam X
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1855,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which it wilhsiood in most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging TO
myself and some to my neighbors and friends
and represeting a value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $780, ,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the nj Il of the 27th OF Ju-
ly, 1860. and passed tho b the fery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was the second floor
and fell to the basement oI.. Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity OF gram
confined within The brick walls. After the
fire the safe was opened and the books anu
papers taken out in a state of perfect preser-
vaticn, the paper not even being discoloTed.
This fact was, however, TO many bystandeFs
better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,
Csel3 SAMUEL RANCk.
