Deserving Voting

The Amendatary Enrolment bill now be-
fore Congress provides that every person
who, having been enlisted or draftedto serve
in the National forces in the present struggle.
has hitherto deserted and shall not within
sixty days present himself for duty, or who
shall hereafter enlist or be drafted and shall
IN ike manner desert. shall thereupon cease
20 be a citizen of the United States and to
be entitled as citizen to vote. This provi-
sion Dr. Dwight Townsend Dem. Of New
York moved on Monday to strike out and
was backed therein by Messrs. Chandler Of
this City and J. c. Allen of Illinois The
motion was beaten and the bill passed. Yeas,
so; nays, 80.
It seems to us plain that the man who de
serts when legally summoned or voluntarily
enlisted to defend his country ought in sim :
pie dccency to refrain from further attempts
to govern her. How any one can vote that
he ought to remain an electOr after such re-
creancy, we do not understand; and how a
party as crafty as the Democratic has been
can so plainly betray its consciousness that
the deserters nearly all belong to its fold, as
the Democratic party did by its opposition
to this disfranchisement ofdeserterS, we may
see after further explanation. AT present
the proposition that he who skedaddles from
his country when called on to fight for her
should stay away when the time. comes for
voting-nay, should be compelled to do SO
when his own sense efficiency does not con-
strain him to absence from the polls-seems
quite as clear as that two and two make

THE WEATHER AND RAFTING. During
the past ten days the air and sun have been
quite warm in this region, and the snow
has rapidly disappeared. The melting OF
snow, and some little rain, caused the
streams to rise considerably on Saturday
last, and on Sunday the ice broke up in
some Of them. The Susquehanna is now
free of ice, from point several miles
above this place to east Of the mountains,
but it has not, as yet, run out from the up
per part Of the river. If the weather con
tinues favorable, our lumbermen will com
mence rafting in within a few days.
We learn that the ice gorgcd very much,
below this place, onSunday. In many pla-
ces it was showed more than thirty feet out
on the shore, and as the ice gave way be
low and the water .receded, much Of timber
lying on the banks was carried into the
stream, and went adrift. This is to be re-
GREETED, as most of the timber made this
season has cost our lumbermen q more than
usual price, on account of the high rate OF
labor, provisions and feed.

Rebel Torpedo Boat CAPTURED.

CHATTANOOGA, March 22.-The Gazette
has lengthy details Of the capture Of rebel
general and fourteen men at Chapman 5
landing, below Kingston, on the Tennessee,
by seven loyal Tennesseeans. The yaWi was
armed with torpedoes and internal machines
for destroying government property. The
party were regularly uniformed, and acting
under orders OF the rebel Navy Department.
The yawl was built at Richmond, and
brought to Bristol on the cars, and placed
on the Holston river, thence, with muffled
oars to the place ofits capture. Their in
structions were not to destroy or disturbany
thing till they got below Kingston, when
they were to destroy the Government trans
ports. They hoped, also, to destroy ware
houses, rolling mills, ect, on the banks of
the river at that place The whole enter
prise was in charge of scientific officer.
The rebels were chagrined at being outwit-
ted by half their number of citizens. after
having run the gauntlet of the soldiers at
Knoxville, Kingston, and other points on
their route
About fifty guerrillas dashed into the town
of Paoli, on the Knoxville road yesterday,
and burned the depot and robbed the fami-
lies residing there.
