The Fifth of September has come and ' Itone, and the draft has not yet been ordered. One day news come from Wash- f logton that the draft will be rigidly en- , forced as noon as the docomenU can be , prepared after the .fifth ; the next day it i is announced that volunteers are pour- i ing in so rapidly, that it is expected it < will not be necessary to resort to the draft. These variable announcements render it impossible to form a correct j opinion as to what will really be done. t "Learn to labor and to wait" is a good , motto in this case, end every effort , ahonld be made to fill tbc quotas, with j , the expectation that if it is not accom plishcd, the drait will come. The quote of thia-Congressiotial Dis- J i trie I waa regarded as being ranch too | 1 high in proportion to other districts in 1 the State. The mutter was taken in J band, and the proper representations f to the Provost Marshal General, who j , ordcicd a new calculation, by which the ; quota was reduced 448 men. This will i inrolve a recast of the entire district, and a proportionate reduction of each I ward and township. 1 liberal bounties nre offered in each township of this county, and a number ' of volunteers have been obtaioed in the Middle, and a few from Dennis Beyond this we have not heard of any others. 1 The Marl Railroad?*** This roml is now completed and in , running order. Thousands of tona of , marl will be taken from the beds this fall, which are now being worked, and i distributed along the lines of the West Jersey, 8slem, Millville and Glassboro, uod the Cape Muy and Millville Rail- ' roads. The beds of the West Jersey ' Marl Company are almost loexhaurtible, and they will add immensely to the agricultural wealth of the district. Retained. Ex-Sheriff Hooper, a member of Co.

Page and that of Colonel Anderson, of Fort Gaines, very mocb to tbe disparagement of the former, who, it will be remembered, deoonoced Colonel Anderson for surrendering Fort Gaines General Sheridan's command bad a severe fight with tbe enemy near Berryville, on Friday laat. The rebels were driven ont of their retrenchments and made several attempts to regain posses-' sion of them, but were handsomely repulsed each time. Tbe figbl'ug was done by Crook's command. Our loss waa abont 500 killed und wounded. Some fifty prisoners aod a stand of colore were captured. The United 8tates frigate Niagara seized the rebel pirate steamor Georgia twenty miles off Lisbon,- pot a prise crew on board, and sent bar to New York Tbe Niagara landed tbe captain and erew'of the Georgia at Dover. The Georgia wheo seizdl was under tbe British flag, and her captain entered a protest against her seizure. The event excites much "controversy It is rumored that tbe capture wha >nffncted under cooaenl of tbe British government. There is moch difference of opinion to tbe legality of the capture ; but general satisfaction is expressed. — An agent sent ont by the authorities of Jersey City, to recruit iu the Southern States, from Beaufort writes to Mayor Cleveland that recruiting agents - are far more numerous than able bodied devirous of going into the service. •

The other day wo heaid a rich neighbor he had rather have railroad stocks than the U. S. slocks; for they paid higher interest. Just tiieo Poor Richard came np, and said be b d just bought sume of Uncle Sam's three years notes, paviDg seven and tbrec-loDtbs per cent, interest. My rich friend exclaimed, "You! I thought you bad no money to buy wilh." "Yes," said Richard, "I had a little laid up, for you know it i* well to bave something laid np against a wet day, and 1 have kept a IRUe of my earnings by me." Now Poor Richard is known to all tbe country rouud to be a very prudeut end iuduslrious, and r withal, wise man ; for Uichaid never learned anything be didn't know how to , make nse of, and bis wisdom and prudence bad become a proverb. So, when he took | out bis savings and bought the notes, more j than one was surprised, and il was no wonder rich Mr. Smith asked why. So Poor Richard, iu a very quiet humble way — for he never assumed anything— replied, "1 Suppose, Ml. Smith, you know a great deal better than I do what to do wilh money, and liow to invest ; for I never had much, and all I got 1 had to work hard r for. But I bave looked round a good de^l ' upon my neighbors, ane seen what they did wilh their money and I will tell yod i some things I saw and what I thought of. it. Ooe very rich into was always dealing in money, and be made a great deal, but, , was never satisfied without A igk interest. So be lent most of bis money to some peo- , pie who he thought were very rich, at a I very high rate ; and be often told bow moch he got, till one day tbe people be lent to weul to smash. He got back about tea cents on a dollar of bis money, i | know another old gentleman, who bad some bank stock and be went te bank and , got ten per cent, dividend. Tbe President and everybody said it was tbe beat stock in the country — paid ten per , cent. But what did tbe old man do bol i tell bis stock the next day! Why? wbyT - said everybody. Because, it pays too muck i diridend. And in six months tbe bank went to smaA. Now! that I kbow to be a ■ fael. Well, Mr. Smith, you suy railroad I stocks are best, because tbey pay high dividends. Can yon tell how long tbey will pay tbem ? I like railroads. 1 helped to boild one, and 1 go in for useful things. - But I tell you what 1 know about them. One third of the railroads -don't pay any i dividend, and two third# (and some of them . cracked np, too,) do not pay as moch as Government stocks. Now thai brings me to the Government securities, and 1 will | tell yon why I prefer them. I lake it yon , wiii admit, Mr. Smith, that in tbe long , ran the investment which is bett should have these qualities ; First, it ahonld be perfectly occur* ; secondly, that the iu-

Should be uniform aid perman^rt— - j net np one year and down the npxt ; and ' thirdly, that it should be marketable, so ' when yoer wet day comes, and you went c l youf^ioney. you can get it back. And I « j think these notes or bonds bave got tbeee " ' qualities more than any other kind of per- * t>cnal property you can name. Try it. j „ j "First, then, I bave been looking inio ' c! ! that great book you call tbe Onsna Sla- j 1 j lialicr. I used to tbiok it wasn't worth ; much ; but since I began to study it, 1 tell I you I found out a good many things very j. useful for hie to know. I found ont, by. i looking at the crop*, and the factories mod | ; shipping, Ac., that we (I don't mean the ' Rebel States) are making a thousand mil- ^ | lions of dollars a year more than we spend. ^ ; So yon see that (since the increase of debt : isn't half thai) we are growing rick instead of poorer, as John Ball aDd the croakers . would have u* think." Then the debt will be paid, anyhow, no matter bow long tbe 1 1 ■ war is. Besides, did you ever hear of s I ! Government that broke before the people < did? l.o itk into your big -histories. Mr. r Smith, and you will find the people break .before the' Governments. Well, then, J call that St. c\t perfectly tecure. . "Secondly, you want the income uniform j ' : and permanent. Well, 1 waut you to take 1 ' up a list ol haok*. railroads, mines, insurance companies— aiiyttiiug vou choose — i aod tell me (honor bright . now !) bow many i twenty years. Not one in a hundred. Mr. [ Smith, and you know it. ""Now here is tbe Government « ill pny you without varying a tittle. Now 1 like something that gives me uiy income every 1 "Thirdly, you want somelh.og which is. I marketable any day in tbe year. Now, if ' j you ail! ask any baok President, be will ' j tell you thai Govern uient stocks are tbe ; only kind of properly that it always salable because tbey will sell anywhere in the i" ■ world. * "Now, Mr. Smith, this is why I pot my j : i little savings in Government slocks. 1 i confess, too, that 1 wanted to help that ] i dear old country, which is my home aud i my country." "1 confess." said Mr. Smith j | "1 hadn't thought of all this. There is a | j good deal of sense in what yon say. and i i ,'j will go so far as to put two or three thou- 1 ; • sand dollars in potted States stooks. It ' I csn do no barm." We left Mr. Smith going towards the j ' j baok, and Poor Richard returning home. ; | with that calm and placid air which indi- ! . cated tbe serenity of his disposition and ' | the conscionsoeis of duing right towards j his country and bit fellow man. THE GREAT SCREW FRIGATE FRANKLIN. For many years before the war, tbe ( two great ships of oor navy were tbe i Pennsylvania and tbe Franklin. Tbe I former is destroyed and the latter nearly completed. Wheo finished she will be j a contribntion to our maritime strength j that will cause respect wherever her! flag is shown. The Franklin is, to an extent, already i historical. Some part of the new vessel | , was taken from an old lioc-of-battle ship j built io 1797. It was proposed eight or | ten years ago to rebuild the old craft, ! i then too much worn for further use, tnd j 1 sbe was sent to the Portsmouth, N. U., j 1 navy-yard with that view. She was j ' found io be too rotten, and her souud timbers were employed io the new crea- , tion, which will be laoocbt-d ou tbe 17tb I of September. The new ship has been • constructed slowly and with especial i care. None bnt tbe choicest seasoned 1 timber baa been allowed in ber; only 1 i the best mechanics have worked upon 1 j her; aud, though she is n wooden vessel. ^ i sbe is believed by all who have seen her , to be eqnal to any other wooden vessel ; that floats on the wot Id's waters. j i Tbc Franklin is pnt down at 3684 j . tons. The Niagara measures 4582 ; the ; I Colorado, 3425 ; the Wabash, 3274, and j 1 the New Ironsides, 3486. Tbe Dictator! 1 measures 3033, and the Donderberg, j ! 5090 Tue great Chattanooga, now : ^ bnilding at Philadelphia, has 3200 tons, j ' It will be seen from this comparison that j j the Franklin is not what sbe was expected to be when her keel was laid — a I . a hale among minnows. Sbe is, neveri theless, n mammoth of beautiful proporr tions and excellent workmanship, and • will be a valuable acquisition. Sbe was 1 ordered to be finished abont the time ^ the Trent difficulty caused fear of foreign j trouble. One capacity tbe Franklin possesses over her competitors ; thoogh as- , taming to carry a frigate's armament,' r even the Niagara waa nnable to do it, i while the Franklin can bear her fifty - gnni of the largest calibre wtihont dif1 ficulty The contract fur her machinery i was made a year ago, and it is now, > probably, well advanced towards comJ pletion ; so that when the ship has been • launched work can be commenced at 1 once in this department. She will, of D course, be a screw prupellor. Tbe Niagara is now craising in the British Channel, in company with tbe ' Keartarge and Sacramento. Were tbe ' Franklin added, we ahonld have a very 1 good and formidable representation of ' our maritime power sailing over tbe e wreck of the Alabama and guarding ' againrt the Georgian, Rappahinnocks, 1 8 u inters and other vessels which have 1 been built or threatened from there for i piratical purpose*. When the rebellion i is ended, oar fotore vrere'wjil be exclo- - site!/ ou tba ses — AorfA American.
