While at Huntingdon, on Saturday last, j we availed ourself of an invitation ex-1 tended by Captain Bell, and Dr. Forney, to tide out to the camp of instruction lo cated near that place, to be under the com mand of Gen. James. The site selected could hardly be better adapted for the pur pose. It is on the farm of Mr. Shoema ker, near the Warm Springs, and about two and a half miles from the town' of Huntingdon. It is a Large clover field which has a slight descent on three-sides from the centre, thus securing dry quar ters and drill-ground at all times. There are several springs of most excellent water just at thc edge of the,field. If we were going into the army we could not desire a j more- pleasant place in which to receive j instruction. Gen. James is said to be j well qualified for' the position assigned him, having had considerable miliary ex perience. Two companies, viz: Captain Crowther’s, from Tyrone, and Capt. Flem. Holliday’s were in camp, and four , or five more were expected on Monday and Tuesday. Among the recruits we fpund our jovial friend Bob Hopkins, who is playing the part of Orderly Sjorgeant in Capt. Crowthor’s company. Bob is a “regular brick,” and there will be fun in the camp so Icing as he is about—espe cially-when he assumes the part of a pul pit orator. Dr. Forney, the Surgeon of thecamp, is an affable gentleman, well skilled In his profession, of large iexperi encc in camp life, and will be popular with the soldiers. We witnessed his first surgical operation in hia new position; it was that of bandaging the finger (or what was left of a finger) of one of the recruits. Sard recruit had been been out practising with a pistol, and in putting a cap on it had caught it iu such a manner that his little finger came over the muzzle, and after adjusting the cap the hammer slipped from, under his thumb, causing it to, explode— the' bullet cutting the finger clean off be . low tfic second joint. Bought wit is said j i to be the best, land the recruit will evi ifcitly find it so if he has not paid too' dearly for it. We learned, previous to leaving Huntingdon, that Gen. James had styled the catnp “ Camp Grossman,” by which name it will hereafter be known. The Nominees. The Peoples' Party Convention, which met last week, placed a full ticket in the field- Wo are not in favor of party nom inations at this time, ; nevertheless, since they have been made, wc shall speak of them as we find them. The nominee; for Sheriff, Samuel Mc- Caihant, is, we believe, quite as popular and well qualified to fill the office, aaany other candidate before the convention.— Wc say this with all due deference to his competitors, many of whom are, no doubt, equally as capable of filling the position. Mp. M. has merited this favor at tUe hands of his party, and since we know him to be a man of irreproachable character, perfect responsibility and resolute disposition,, we feel warranted in saying; that if he should be elected he will serve the county 'faith fully. ' Mr. Roller was re-nominated by accla mation, for the Legislature. Ho made a good representative last winter, serving his constituents acceptably .so -far as we 1 know, qnd lo have supplanted him would notbavobcen respectable treatment. We can see no necessity for a change in the representative of Blair county in the Le gislature, and presume that Mr. R; will be returned. - •' With the other candidates we are ujpac gnainted, and therefore will not speak of them, ' ,*;■ fl®* The carelessness in the use of fire l ami by ourtroops i« most astonishing. Sinoe the bommeneement of thetwar we think that net less tiuee hundredminhsTe been hilled or se ' *erely wounded by the accidental discharge of fire-irmi In the handa of real or amateur sol- dlera.-- The apparent Incredulity that person*, guni, feel to their dabtruotive cnote is amazing. _■ i v ■ The Hows. - The latest adyicee from Washington | show the boldness of the rebels and the j desperation ef their erase. They seem* determined to bring on a collision with I the Federal forces but they want to make ! the latter the attacking party. They have thrown up fortifications and erected mask* I ed batteries along all the woods leading | from Washington toward Manassas., and j they are anxious to get our men in among | them. la this we think they will be dia-; appointed. While it is certain that they i cannot reach the:jcity by any forward move- j ment they, may make, and that they would be defeated in an open engagement, we ' think it is the policy of the tion and the commanders of our army to let them alone ip their fastnesses for the present, knowing, that delay, and attacks upon the seaboard of the seceded States, ‘must consume and distract the army now at Manassas. ; The forts at Cspc Hatteras have been supplied with: men, provisions and muni* tions of war, sufficient to enable the Gov* eminent forces to hold them against any assault, and it is cheering to know that the loyal citizens of North Carolina are flocking to the standard of the Union. It is reported and bejieved that ten regiments from that iState mustered into the service of the Southern; Confederacy have been called home from Manassas. The Uniomtrodpsbave crossed over into with the advance of the rebels into'the Southern part of the State. .Our forces occupy Paducah. Fourteen females have been' arrested and are now held as prisoners at Wash ington. .Their sex. no longer gives them liberty to afford aid and comfort to the enemy. Others will be arrested shortly. Military movements at Washington are now conducted so quietly that even the citizens of that place do not know when or how many troops arrive daily. The State clectipn in Maine has resul ted in the election of Washburn, repub lican, for Governor. The vote stood Washburn 7,191; Jameson,(War Dcmo crat)3,29o; Dana,(Peace Democrat)!,3S7. Gen. Bosencraiiz is now advancing through Virginia, and shining news may soon be expected from hia command. ; Late reports from Missouri say that a fight had; taken place between Lane’s Kansas regiment and a body of rebels un der Gen. Bains, ip which the latter was completely routed --with a heavy loss, and Gen. Baiqs taken prisoner. s Accident on the Northern Cen tral R. R.—Last Sunday afternoon ah accident occurred on the Northern Cen tral .Railroad, in the vicinity of Cookeys ville, which .resulted in the death of four New TTork volunteers and the wounding of three others. - The accident, it appears, was caused by the breaking of the axle of One of the cars which careened over and two' horses fell out and rolled on to the track. The three bars immediately foil lowing had every truck swept from under them. The train was soon stopped and several soldiers rushed forward in search of the engineer, declaring that it was his fault and they .would kill him. The en gineer directed them to the wreck, and detaching the locomotive from the train, started toward Baltimore. The sol Tiers discovering this, fired two shots after him one hall passing through the window of the engine house, and the other through the hat of the fireman. The engineer aud fireman were arrested and placed in jail on their arrival at Baltimore. All who were” killed or injured wet e standing oq the platform of the cars, while those in side escaped unhurt. An investigation of the affair Was had, when it was shown that the breaking of the axle was beyond the control of the- engineer and that the speed of the train was only twenty-one and two-tenths miles per hour, the ordinary, speed of passenger trains. 1 ■ Infamous Outrage in Missouri.— On the 3d inst., a passenger train on the Hannibal and St- Joseph Railroad souri, was thrown into the Platte River, by the, timbers ott the oast end of the bridge having been burned so as to give way-when the train reached that portion. The entire train went down, and only one man on ; the train, the baggage-master, escaped unhurt. Some sixty persons were more or jess and quite a number were killed. The bridge was burned by some of the rebels to that country. Could auy punishment be severe enough for such inhuman conduct? Among those who were killed and injured were a number of women aqd children. W(Su We see by the Blainsviile papers that the managers of the Conemaugh Val ley Agrioultual Society hate agreed to change the time ofibolding their Fair this eeaaontothe 9th, 10th and ilth of Octo ber. This will ootpe just one week later than the Indiana County Agricultural So ciety Fair, and will afford an opportunity to attend -both Fain. Beligious Patriotism. | , We. publish with pleasure the following 1 resolutions passed by the Lutheran Synod which was in session in this plaoe last week. Thej breathe the spirit of true patriotsm and devotion to the interests of religion hud humanity. Coming from the source they do, they are entitled to more than or dinary consideration, and will have great-! er weight than those passed by assemblages of the people. They show us that in the ■ defetjee now made against a most unholy '• crusade on the rights and liberties of a free people, religiously as well as - politi- j £ally considered, the sympathies and | ‘prayers of the ministers :of God arc on | the side of the Union, and we know that i |the “prayer of the righteous availeth . much.” Here are the resolutions: ‘ !
