LOCAL ITEMS.
The Comiso Focktu.—While there appears
to be a desire on the part of our citizens to pay
proper respect to the return of our natal day,
they are disinclined to enter into an arrange
ment, which will involve the outlay of much
money, and we think they are right. Just at
this time it would he highly improper to squan
der money in useless demonstrations, Our
brethren and friends now upon the “tented
field,” almost in the face of the enemy, have
need of many little luxuries and comforts which
the money recklessly spent at a large celebra
tion would furnish them, and we think it would
be much more patriotic, and afford much more
pleasure on all sides, to send it to our brave
volunteers than to spend it for fireworks and
ether etceteras. While we favor this disposi
tion of the money that would otherwise be spent
uselessly, we do not wish to see the day pass
unobserved in this place, and from present indi
cations, we think it will not. It will not re
quire the outlay of means to have a general
union of all our citixeus at some given point, in
the morning, have the Declaration of Indepen
dence read, a few national airs by the band, have
an address delivered, and then allow all to
spend the day as they feel inclined. We think
an arrangement should bo made to have all the
hells in town rung atfive o’clock in the morning,
and a salute fired, at sunrise, by the different
companies. We have nothing definite as to whnt
will be done here on the Fourth, but by next
neck we shall probably be able to announce a
programme.
I Excitement Among the “Home Gcards.”
| —On Tuesday morning last, quite an excite-
I meat was created among the members of Com -
| panies <‘A” and "B,” of the “Home Guards,” in
this place, by the arrival of Ed. H. Gardner, of
Hollidayaburg, with instructions from the Adjn
tiat General, to col lest and forward to Harris
burg all the State arms and accoutrements in
Blair county. “Company A” is equipped with
tbe rifles belonging to the “Logan Rifle Ran : ,
ger?,” and “Company B” with the muskets of
the “Altoona Guards.” The members of both
companies have gone to the expense of uni
forming, and the Rail Road Company, has had a
man employed for several weeks past in over
hauling and repairing the guns, , and they are
now in first-rate order. It may welt be ima
gined that an order, such as Mr. Gardner bro’t,
ttould not he received with a very good grace
by the Rail Road Company; or by the members
of the different military companies, who have
spent considerable time in brightening up their
pieces, and we ire not sure that some of them
did not swear a little. But to cap the climax,
just previous to Mr. Gardner's departure, a
dispatch was. received by W. H. Wilson, Esq.,
from John A. Wright, Esq., Aid to the Gover
nor, (in reply to a ; letter of Mr. Wilson in which
be eet forth the fact that the Company had
repaired all the guns at its own expense.) an
thoriiing the State arms now in this place to be
left in the possession of the- companies. This
calmed the storm that was rising, and our boys
[can now go ahead and prepare their cartridges
j for a grand salute on the morning of the Fourth;
[and let them remember, also, that this result is
;due to the energy of Mr. Wilson, whose wateh
i ful care of Altoona’s interest would not permit
■ him to see the guns removed and the companies
i disbanded,"without using his endeavors to pre
vent it. '
1 A lIr.A.iTHy Stos.—lt will be seen by rofer
jcacc to the notice of the Treasurer of the Altoo
jni Gas and Water Company, in another column,
jthat a dividend of fonr per cent, has been de
jclared on the capital stock for the six months
lending dune 16th. This is an increase, of one
p 6r ce °t. over the previous sixmos., and equal to
kightper cent, per annum. This certainly exhibits
la healthy state of the finances of that institu
tion, and proves that it pays. With such a
result at this time, we may infer that it will pay
[ at leaBt ‘! n or twelve per cent, within another
bear. Query.—lf gas and water slock, which
r 4B so lustily cried down as a sinking invest
ment while the works were in course of con
jstroction, will pay so handsomely, would not
block in a market-bode and town-hall, which
h ll lkdmit ttat this place greatly needs, pay
■equally as well? Suppose somebody figures yp

Important Railroad Arrangement. —We
understand that properly authoi ized represen
tatives of tiie Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Com
pany have united in a mutually satisfactory ar
rangement far permanently leasing the work of
the latter named company, in its present in-,
complete and unfinished condition, to the Penn-'
sylvania railroad company. Three millions of
the Philadelphia and Erie bonds are to be en
dorsed by the Pennsylvania railroad company,
which, it is estimated, will realize more than
sufficient to finish and equip the road. Exist
ing contracts for construction, etc, made by the
Erie railroad company, are to be carried out,,
but payments are to be made under authority
of the Pennsylvania railroad company from
the three millions .of endorsed bonds. The
Philadelphia and Erie . railroad company has,
over and above the three millions named, be
tween three and four millions of bonds, the
proceeds of which are to ho applied to the pay-*
ment of the company’s debts. The rent under
the lease is a per centage of receipts. So far
as the negotiations have progressed they are re
presented os entirely satisfactory to the mana
gers of both companies, and be consum
mated by them, but in a matterof so much im
portance it is deemed advisable to have the ap
proval and authority of shareholders, whose
sanction will no doubt be obtained as soon as
meetings can be called for jthe purpose.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
In consequence of no paper being issued from
this office two weeks since, a letter from our
welcome correspondent, “W. I. B ,” was omit
ted in oar last issue, for the reason that the
letter of “A J. G.,“ which was of a more re
cent date, embodied the iufqrmation contained
in the letter of the former, together with mat
ters of interest of a later date: nevertheless,
there were a few items in “W. I. B.’s” letter
which we must not -omit, and we give them
below 1 .
After speaking of the; removal of tbe 3d
Regiment from York to Cfiambersburg, he says 1 :
V “Our company, (Company H., Juniata Rifles,)
was very agreeably surprised, last week, at re
ceiving, each one, an institution consisting of
satchel containing two towels, handkerchiefs,
thread, needles, buttons etc., etc., which were
kindly furnished by the ladies of Hollidaysborg,
and for which they will ever be remembered by
our boys.”
In another paragraph he returns thanks to
Mrs. Huff, of this place, for an ample supply
of cakes, pies, etc., by remarking that he could
not do justice to his heartfelt gratitude on re
ceiving such an unlooked-for kindness from one
with whom he was unacquainted.
In speaking of the-hospitality of the people
of Chambersburg, he says:—“But the crowning
feature of nil was the kindness nnd hospitality
manifested to the Juniata Rifles, by the ladies
in the immediate neighborhood of our quarters.
These noble-hearted ladies insisted on numbers
of our company partaking at their tables, and
those who’ were too modest to accept were
abundantly supplied at the quarters. Three
times every day did they famish ns with warm
coffee, meat, pics, etc., and several of them
went so far as'to lodge some of the men.—
Ton may depend, our boys enjoyed themselves
hugely in their ktew quarters. Our evenings
and leisure moments were devoted to them, (the
ladies,) characterized.with songs and dancing.'
Two of our boys played the violin and guitar
each evening, and the lads and lassies led off in
the merry dance. But there is no earthly plea
sure but what is accompanied with painful mo
ments, and so it Was With the “Rifles.” The
order to march come when least expected and
still less desired, and we had to leave the scene
of some of one happiest moments and brightest
recollections, and remove to oar present camp,
which is about four miles from town.”

Missus. MoCira t Daa .-iVe are now to what l.
deemed the enemy’s Country. On Balnrdsy morning we
struck ourtent* and prepared for our march—notice of
Which was given the day previous. The Government hav
ing taken possession of the Railroad between Chambers
hurg and Hagerstown, we wore brought to the latter place
in the care—from thence to our :preeent qnarteie, every:
man was hie own conveyance, , Opr Journey was pleasant
and agreeable, though the weather was very warm. All
along the Cumberland valley we wore enthusiastically
greeted and welcomed by the patriotic .inbabitahte,. At
Oreencastlo, we were furnished with bread, butter, cakes,
pies and other refreshments by the citizens, indeed, every |
kindness that could be ahown us, by loyal men And pretty
women, wan bestowed upon the 3d Regiment, i
Hagantown to a beautiful place, erotaltiicg, I should
suppose, a population of about 6,000. The town la litcr
•Uy covered with the glorious standard of our coon try,
»nd the Union feeling is strong, deep and abiding in the
hearts of the people. Thomas (Union) was elected to Con*
6 roßa » I*** week, in this district, without opposition. The
Regiment halted in one of the principal streets, and we
were gladly furnished with water by the inhabitants. One
gentleman, an engineer from Baltimore, brought round to
the first section of Company K. two quart measures of “Old
Rye,” which eased the weight of our knapsacks considera
bly. In this part of Maryland tho inhabitants seemed
greatly rejoiced at our arrival, and greeted us with the
waring of handkerchiefs, presentation of boqnets, £c. The
only place that I observed any rndicatiou of secession foeb
'ing Is in the little'place close by our present encampment.
»n passing through it, last evening, many of the citizens
manifested patriotic demonstrations, while others were ae
cool aa an iceberg, and looked aa though they could cut
our throats. The Ist Regiment, P. U. V, yesterday cap
tured an old Iron piece of artillery, and some 40 muskets
in the place, and they now remain at their quarters. The
cannon. It Is said, was used in tho Revolutionary war, near
the month of tho Chesapeake bay, while the muskets ore
of recent importation from Harper’s Perry. Tim former is
mounted on an old hind carriage of a wagon, and bos a
very ancient appearance. It has been, but recentlyV put
in a position for mischief, as the now iron bonds around
the breech and the pivots, strapping it to the carriage, evi
dently shows. For tho present we will hold it, and if tho
secessionists wont it they con come and take it.
We arc encamped 13 miles from Harper’s Ferry, a few
hundred yards from the road leading directly thence. The
field contains 100 acres, and belongs too rebel. However,
that makes no difference, for “ Uncle Sam” has need of it
now, and his authority le supreme. It Is here stated, au
thoritatively, thqj the rebels have evacuated the Maryland
Uelgbte overlooking Harper's Ferry, and it is also rumored
that they have retreated ot masse from the place, after
laying one-half the town in ruins, ’ in a few days they
would have been surrounded, and this Is the only reason
I can give for their rumored precipitate retreat.
This morning, at 1 o’clock, heavy reports of artillery
and musketry were distinctly hoard in oar camp, from the
direction of Williamsport, Md, These were rapid in suc
ceseion and continued until about daylight. Evidently a
fight has taken place, for I learn that tho 7th, Bth and
doth Regiments and tho Scott. Legion were ordered down
1 to day from their encampment near Hagerstown. No par
titular'’ have reached us this evening, further than that
Capt. iPoub'.’eday, with his artillery, had crossed tho river
at Williamsport.
The Ist, 2d, 3d o'hd 24th Regiments are encamped to
gether. We are eml’racPd in the left wing of tho army.
The troops in this camp word reviewed this afternoon by
Maj. General Patterson and a taffi and Gov. Hicks,'of Ma
ryland. After the review,Ocn. s’, bri'Oyand patriotically
addressed the soldiers, who expressed him.'«tf highly grab
ifiod at the proficiency of drill they have »JrouJ v attained,
declaring that it surpassed his expectation. Gov. de*
cUned making any remarks, but through the General ex
pressed himself well pleased ot tho bearing, discipline £Ud
conduct of the soldiers of Pennsylvania. Cheers and Uycrt .
were given for Gen. Patterson, Gov. Hicks, Pennsylvania,
and tho loyal men and women of Maryland. I should'
have wished to have given Geu. Patterson’s remarks in
full, but space forbids.
In another place I mention as rnmor the evacuation of
Harper's Ferry, But since panning it, a gentleman re
siding there, was in camp, and confirmed the tidings. lie
says they destroyed the Arsenal and about SO houses be
longing to the Gorornment, and also .the Railroad Suspen
sion Bridge, over the Potomac, before leaving.
Wbat an effect marching produces in men to that when
lying in camp. The former revives the spirits and brings
forth good hnmor and geniality, while the' latter Is only
productive of an accumulation of bile venting itself in 111
humor and wordy quarrels. To the peaceful soldier there
can be nothing more unpleasant and distasteful. I opine,
if they only wait a few days, a good chance will be given
them to vent their bad blood upon an enemy more worthy
than their cbmrades-ln-arms.
TVn have no Sunday in camp, as yon have, doubtless, ob
served before this. Fishing aud swimming were the prin
cipal sports among the soldiers in camp to-day. A large
creek runs to the roar of our camp (Oimcron), which
abounds in eels, catfish, Ihll-flsh, Ac. These are a luxury,
after a long feast on salty epcck and thinglct, (crackers.)
But we lack lines and books, necessary to bo successful in
capturing the finny tribe. But it is now dark, and I must
close. Atirivoirl A. J. Q.

Gov. Yates has, wo are told by talegraph, appoint

«a. The manner in which tire war feeling is kept up
in the South is evidenced of the following from tho New
Orleans Craexni. It says: “A Washlhgton letter says Scott
is losing over 1000 men every week from desertion alone,
ns his troops are nsiarly starved and won’t stay. The famous
Sixty-ninth Irish Regiment, from New York, lost 164 men
by desertion in three days, and they Joined the camp of the

She finally bethought of her bcops, took them off, and
having tied the upper end, set the contrivance in the
brook, and drove the unsuspecting shad into the net, when
they were safely drawn to land, the most recent and the
most cruelly deceived victims of crinoline.

As we arc strangers, I herewith enclose you twenty-eight
dollars for four dozen Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, which
please forward via Michigan Southern Bailroad, Toledo,
Ohio, and Clayton Station. 1 have purchased several dos
es bottles at Toledo this Summer, but the sale is on the in
crease so much that I wish to open a direct trade with you.
I was induced, to try your Bitters by my physician, for
the Liver Complaint, and received such material aid that J
have recommended It to others and have sold about two
dozen per week for some time. I have all kinds of med
icine in my store, but there is none that lean so cheerfully
and truthfully recommend as your Bitters, for I know they
have kielpod mobeyond my expectation. Yours respectfully.

A Card to thb Suffering.
Tho Rev-. Wm. Cosgrove, while laboring as a missionary
in Japan, was cured of Consumption, when all othermeans
had failed, by a recipe obtained from a learned physician ,
residing in the great city of Jcddo. This recipe has cured
great numbers who were suffering from Consumption,
Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Coughs and Colds, and the debility
and nervous depression caused by these disorders.
Desirous of boncflttlng others, I will send this recipe,
which I brought home with me, to all who need it, free of
charge. Addrws

Philadelphia possesses the most splendid Clothing Empo
rium in tho country. It is splendid as regards tho pala
tini structure in which the immense business of the estab
lishment is conducted, and it is equally splendid in respect
to its groat facilities and vast resources. But to its pa
trons its chief attractions are, first,'the elegance of the
garments for Gentlemen.and Youths, manufactured there;
secondly, the beauty and durability of the materials, and
the enperior excellence of the fit, and lastly tho moderate
prices at which the goods are sold. We refer, in this des
