Until lately our division had but a Col onel in command, but now Gen. Double day has charge of us. This is rig were sadly in need of a commander. It would be good policy, furthermore, to fill all the vacant posts in the regiment. At present we have but five line and two field officers. The effective force of the regiment is but 225 men. Sergt. Win. W. Evans, Richard Dayis and Wm. W. Davis, of our company, were wounded and taken prisoners at the battle of Fredericksburg. They were taken to Libby Prison, at Richmond. From some of our regiment who have lately been re leased, we learn that Sergt. Evans was wounded in left leg, and that Davis most likely Wm. W. Davis-had died there. As an item of general information, I should not forget to mention that our regiment has not beeu paid off for eleven months! Of course, soldiers, as a general thing, don't need very much money; but then, it is quite convenient to have a little of the article in your pocket enough that you may he able to resent the impu tation of being "dead broke." Resides, a large proportion of the soldiers here have families at home, who arc dependant on Uncle Sam's remittances for a subsistence. I see it stated in the papers that Paymas ters, with their "pockets full of rocks," are bobbing around in all directions. That they, in rieir perambulations, may not fail to come across the Pennsylvania Reserves and that shortly is the prayer, night and morning, of D. Important Decision. Herewith we publish a decision, rendered by Judge Taylor, in the Common Pleas of this count', which is of the utmost importance to the public in general and soldiers in particular. We are indebted to P. S. Noon, Esq., for a copy thereof. In the Court of Common Pleas of Camt bria Cocsty : The School District of Washington Township vs. John Broun. A'o. 52, Sept. Terin) liHi'2. Al. Vend. L'z. liule to shew cause why Writ should not be stayed, the Defendant being in the service of the United States. Per cur. J any. 7, ltG3 : It is admitted that the defendant is in the army of the United States, in the three years' volunteer service. The Act of 2d April, 18-2, provides that ''no execution or other process shall issue against any officer, non-commissioned officer or private of the militia, when called into actual service under a requisition from the President of the United States, or in pursuance of the orders of the Governor of this Commonwealth ; nor shall any such pro cess issue against him until thirty days after he shall have returned from duty to his usual place of residence, or until forty days after he shall have beer, discharged." We are reminded that this Act has been held in one of the judicial districts of this State, upon the authority and reasoning of a class of decisions which deny to the Legisla ture the right or power to deprive a plaintiff of the fruits of his judgment, or to grant a defendant a stay of executiou for an indefinite period. The want of power is not made to depend upon the length of the period, but upon the uncertainty of its duration or ter mination. With respect, however, to two classes of State militia, or volunteers in the service, the drafted militia and nine mouths' volunteers, the period of service is fixed and definite. Those who volunteered for three years or during the war are understood to have engaged in the service, like the enlisted nun in the regular array, for three years ; which period may be shortened by a termi nation of the war within that time. Other-' wise, the period is no less definite than that for which the nine months' men have engaged to serve. It is an enlistment for three years, with the chance of an earlier discharge upon a contingency. The obligation is to serve the definite period of three years if the exi gencies of the service require. We do not, therefore, think it throwing more than a doubt in favor of men who have left their homes and business and are periling their lives for the cause of thtir country to look to the obligation in construing and applying le statute, so as to give theni the benefit of the exemption which it provides. This view of the poiut, moreover, avoids the incongruity of adopting a different rule for two classes of men those engaged iu the nine months and those engaged in the three years service standing in equal merit. It recognizes, also, the very strong merit of those who may claim the benefit of this patriotic and beneficent enactment the motive which prompted to the passage of the original Act, and which is evinced by the Legislature in the passage of the kindred supplementary Act of 1 1 tit April, 1S62. Every one-who may justly claim the protection of this law lias merit iu his chtim which should not, we think, be disregarded upon a mere doubt or scruple as to the con stitutional power of the Legislature to grant him such protection. TLe rule is. therefore, made absolute. Iy the Court. New Pater. A new paper, to be cal'cd the Johnstown Democrat, is to be established in Johnstown about the mid dle of the present mouth. J. F. Camp bell, formerly of the Rlairsville Record, and more recently of the Grcensburg Re puhlicariy will be the editor. We wish the new enterprise all manner of success, providing, of cov-ee, that the pnper prove loj-al to the Government. A Democratic print of this class would be something out of the common run in this county. Mnj George Raymond, formerly of llollidaysburg, has resigned his position under the Government as Commercial Agent at Ralize, Honduras, and, with his family, is now iu Washington city. coMMcxicAtED.Q The Case of Lieut. F. M. Flanagan. Inasmuch as a variety of conflicting rumors are going the rounds in connection with the dismissal of Lieut. Flanagan from the service, and, as each of these rumors does a brave officer and worthy gentleman gross injustice, I deem it no more than right to state as follows: Du ring the stay of our company Co. F, 133d Penna. Vols. at Fairfax, Virginia, a pe tition was framed by a number of the members requesting Lieut. F. to resign. This he refused to do; and, subsequently, the Secretary of War was petitioned to order his removal. A couple of weeks prior to the battle of Fredericksburg, an examining committee sat upon. his case, and, thereupon, declared him to be incom petent to hold a commission. At the battle of Fredericksburg, however, he acted eo bravely and gallantly that a reac tion took place in the minds of his oppo nents. The entire company, without any exception, now absolutely adore him for the energy and pluck he then and there exhibited. When his discharge arrived in camp, shortly after the battle, and was made known to the company, a petition was immediately gotten up, under the superin tendence cf Lt. CqI. William M'Cartney, of the 133d, begging for his reinstatement. This petition was signed by every member of Co. F, while Col. Allabach, commanding the brigade, wrote a letter to the Secretary of War, recommending him for re-appointment. So that the probability is that Lieut. Flanagan will be reinstated in command; in which case he will certainly be" promoted to be Captain of the company, that post being vacant since the death of the lamented Capt. Jones. This is a plain statement of facts. Lt. Flanagan, to be sure, has been dismissed the service, but he now stands higher in the estimation of his men than he ever did before. That he will be reinstated, and promoted to a higher position in his company, I have not the least doubt. Very Respectfully, Elli8 It. Williams. Important to School Directors. The attention of School Directors through out this county is invited to the following section of the Common School Law, passed last winter, in relation to their duties: That it shall be thfi duty of the board of directors in each school district to publish an annual statement of the amount of money received aud expanded, and the amount due from collectors, and setting forth all the fi nancial operations of the district, in not less than ten written or printed handbills, to be put up in the most public places in the dis trict. The notice should be signed by the President of the School Roard and attes ted by the Secretary. It is the custom in some districts to publish the statement in the county papers, which answers the same purpose as handbills. Dikd : At his residence, in this place, on Saturday, 31st ult., Mr. William Wukuuy, aged about 69 years. Mr. Wherry's illness was brief. He took his bed (in Wednesday, aud died on the following Saturda'. He had attained to a green old age to the ordinary span alloted to mortals, and quietly and se renely his spirit took its flight to that other world where "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." He was universally esteemed for his many good qualities. He leaves a wife and several grown-up children, with many other relatives to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of the community hi their bereavement. EuLOqr. Ry invitation, R. L.

To the Editor of The AUeghanian : News items are so very scarce about here, that we begin to thiuk . "there is nothing new under the. sun." About ninety secesh prisoners passed through this place, on last Friday, en route for Fortress Monroe. I understand they were captured in Tennessee. They presented quite a squalid appearance, and were poorly clad, some with old hats, old coats, ragged and very dirty. There was no uniformity whatever iu their clothing. Although there is quite a number, hereabouts, who appear t to sympathize deeply with their "Southern brethren," and the cars stopped n considerable length of time at the station for wood and water, yet few or none, of the "sympathizers" called to pay their respects or to offer, any consolation whatever to their brethren in prison, thus proving that if republics are ungrateful, secession sympathizers are ditto.
