For some time past we have been prom ising our readers that if those who are in debted to us would come forward and set tle up, we would, on or about the. first of October, show them something never seen in this section of the country. Well, the first of October has gone by, and we have not announced our show as opened. Of course you want to know the cause, .and, to begin with, we would say that the first and most important condition of the terms, upon which we promised to furnish the exhibition, has hot been complied with, viz; but few have called do settle their bills, and thus supply us with the means to purchase it. Now it is not, to be ex pasted that we can get up a show worth looking at without money. Wc won’t go “on tick,” for it, and could not gel it “on tick” if wc would. Again, the gentleman who is engaged in getting up the exhibi tion has given us notice that he can not have it completed in less than sixty days from the Ist last., which will be about the Ist of December. Delinquent friends, you have still time enough left to settle your accounts and get in to see the show on the first day that it is opened to, spectators. — Come right along, and make no delay in settling up. The show is coming, and we must have the money to pay for it. Don’t delay payment because the time is six weeks in advance. It will be up before ye are aware of it, and then you’ll fee! bad about not having paid us —at least you ought to. Disastrous Fire.—On ’Thursday afternoon last, the steam grist mill of Mr. John Allison, ami the steam planing mill of Mr. Thomas Mo- Auley, adjoining each other, in North Ward, were entirely consumed by fire, together with all their contents. How the fre originated is net positively known, but as it was first discov ered on the roof, near the stack, it is supposed ! to have caught from a'spark falling therefrom. | The dry combustible material of which the mills | were built, and the shavings in the planing mill, ! caused the fire .to spi ead rapidly. ' Although ) early discovered, all etforts to extinguish it j were unavailing, and in a very short space of i time the whole structure was a mass of coals. The Good Will Engine Company arrived at. the j scene of confiagiation in a veiy few minutes ' after ttye alarm was given, bat too lute to, save the property. The attention of the company was directed to saving adjoining property, and in this they were successful. No other houses or stables in the vicinity were burned, although they were in great danger, some of them having caught from the cindcrsfrom the burning ; build. ing. The members of the company, individu ally and collectively, deserve great praise for the manner in which they worked their ma chine. Veterans in the service could not have done better. • The loss to Sir. Allison, in properly, is about $5,000, on which he has an actual insurance of $2,300. He lost all his mill account books, and he must now trust to his memory and the honesty of his customers in making collections of the money due him. He has requested us to say that he desires all who know themselves indebted to him to come Vorward and pay up; and that man is certainly ungrateful who will, under the ciccutn stances, refuse to comply "with this request. There are those, also, who owe him for coal furnished long since, who ought to pay up. Will'they do so? Mr. McAuley’s loss is about $l,OOO, on which he has an actual ihsurance of some $1,500. Ho gaved his books, but lost ,all his valuable ma chinery. Mr. George Metzgar, the miller, whose house TU attached to the mill, and which was con sumed with the other buildings,- lost a few of his household effects by the fire and had others damaged by the hasty manner in which they were removed. i ■ We believe Mr. McAnley intends to proceed immediately*foofectthe planing mill again.— Mr. Allison has not yet decided whether he will rebuild (he. grist mill on that ground. Both of these mills were doing business to their utmost capacity and their loss is felt as well by the cit izens of the town as by their owners. Another —On Friday afternoon last the cast ing house, bridge over the railioad and two dwelling houses, at Blair Furnace, were de stroyed by fire. We did not learn the origin of the fire, or the extent of the loss sustained. — The establishment was owned by H. N. Bur roughs, Esq., and was under the management of Mr. C. Geiger. This furnace has been kept in blast all the time and will doubtless be rev built immediately* About—Jack Frost yesterday morning.

How to Knit Stockings. —As stocking-knit- ] ting is to be the fashionable employment of the ; ladies during the coming fall and winter, and as probably a few of our patriotic young ladles have neglected their education in this useful art, ' we copy, for their benefit, the following direct: turns, which we find in one of; our exchanges, 1 from an;experienced knitter, how to knit stock- ; lags for,the soldiers. Wc. hope' every one of the lady readers of the Tbibcne will scan it ! over and then go to work: | “Set tip twenty-eight or thirty cliches on a needle; rib two inches; knit plain seven inches before setting the heel; form the heel by knit ting twenty-three stitches each side of the seam, taking off the first stich without ..knitting; the length of the heel, before narrowing; should be hhree inches; narrow the heel by knitting ten .ail dies plain; knit two together; knit plain to Within three of the seam; knit, two together, bap plain, and tarn the seam; kbit one plain, | slip and bind one stich; knit plain to within | twelve of the end of the noedle; slip and bind; I knit ten plain ; knit thus until the narrowings I meet; knit back on wrong side to seam; then double together on the wrong side; knit two togethorymd bind off to one stich; take up the loops to the left hand, and knit five stitches off j j£e instep needle, and take five off the other j end, to add to the right side of the heel, and then take up the loops; knit one round all plain; ! knit three stitches and widen, by taking up n j loop between all across, to within seven of the j ciid of the needle; then narrow on the first I side, by knitting two together, and knit five off ! plain; knit, instep needle plain; knit five and | narrow on the last ncodle by slipping and bind- I in'g one stitch; then widen as before, but only | this one round.

McCecm & Been : — Here we are, thus far in the enemy’s country, and no light yet Well, it'is indeed fortunate for us, and, perhaps, still more for the enemy, us there is no telling what harm we mightfdo them in case of on emergency. We had been looking and long ing, and'almost despairing of anything beyond the drowsy monotony of the camp. But at lost the order came for ns to march, forthwith. The order almost “caught me napping,” as it were, for that day (Saturday,) my friend McKinney and I had received permission to visit Washing ton City, and we returned just as the regiment was leaving the camp. We started from camp about sis o'clock on Saturday evening—all the forces on the Virginia side of the river moving at the same time—and proceeded in the direction of this place, which is about four miles from our former encamp ment, and six miles from Washington City.— That was quite a memorable night, gentlemen. My friend and I*were in the city that day, and many of the regiment were out in the woods, felling trees, and when the order came to move they bad not returned from iheir labor. McKin ney and 1 arrived just in time to join the small squad which remained in camp from each com pany. While on oar march out we met the wood-choppers, and, on giving them the news of our order to march, such cheering as then j went up from their throats—the exultations of patriotic hearts—was never heard before. Some of the men left their chopping friends, rushed to camp for their accoutrements, and joined us j iu less time than they would require to go the same distance to their breakfast. Our sapper of cooked beans and coffee was ready to be served ; out to us as soon os the rest would ar rive, but we left it untouched in our eagerness to depart. We proceeded iu the direction of Munson’s Hill, and after marching about three or four miles, through some misunderstanding, wo all countermarched almost to our previous camp. The balance of our company joined us daring this proceeding. Many were the ex pressions uttered by the men in the regiments in the rear of us. Nearly every file of men, as they came up, would ask, ‘‘What regiment is this?” and on being answered “83d Pennsylva nia,” would remark, “What a bully big regi ment,” “ What a bloody old regiment,” “Won der if they left any behind to take care of Jhe State?” On discovering our mistake, we were ordered te return again on our original march. Onward again moved our column, wandering about through the pine forests of Virginia, in the darkness, several times mistaking our way, until we halted at this place. This is the farm of which I spoke in a former letter as being owned by Mrs. HaU. When the Hebei pickets found they could not retain pos session of the house they set fire to it and de stroyed everything. Here we stacked our guns, built our camp fire, and shortly after laid our weary limbs down upon the bare ground to seek repose in balmy sleep. Three times after we had retired to rest wo were aroused by the cry “To aimsl” caused by the frequent reports of filing. You may depend we on our feet in a short space of time. Brief indeed were our slumbers that night. After we arrived here, a certain number of men were detailed from each company for guarding. This was the cause of considerable grumbling on the part of the weary soldiers. Some were tired, some sleepy, others had sore feet—indeed, numerous and varied were the excuses offered. One worn out fellow remarked, as he started sulkily for his gun, that he believed “if the regiment was encamped in a certain hot country we read about, he would be the first placed on guard at head quarters I - ’ After the first night’s rest they all resumed their usual light-hearted and cheerful dispositions, and that, too, in the Very face of the enemy. ‘When morning dawned upon us, the first ob ject that met- our eyes was Washington City away off in the distance. . After having travelled about twelve jni'es the night previous, we were only four miles from our former camp. We nrc now on a hill ip full view of the National Capi- tol. We are frequently called to hold ourselves in readiness to march at a moment’s notice, and Ivhllc I write, ('he second day after the date of my letter,) wc still remain under marching orders. Wo are here, the fourth day after our arrival, without any preparations for encamp ing, nor do f think we will encamp until we enter, triumphantly, the Capital of the Southern Confederacy. 6 There are no privileges here—the officers fare alike with the men. Yesterday 1 saw General | Torter drinking his coffee out of a tin cup, | and, apparently, with the greatest satisfaction. At night we all lie down together, with the “blue sky above us and the green earth beneath' us,” and a soft brick or knapsack for n pillow— your humble servant preferring the brick. I tell you, gentleman, if we were nor compelled, from the force of circumstances, to sleep thus, we could not do it—especially these cold nights. Recently the nights have been quite cold and the dew very heavy. Last night, while some were drying their blankets before the fire, they camp to the conclusion that our forefathers had | CONFECTIONERY ” just as hard times while fighting to build up i • riVOTWI* SiLOnV this Government ns wc hive now in preserving i AIfD vx txt it.

I procured evidences which proved it | to have been the property of Mr. Nutt, at one I time engaged in the Treasurer’s office in Wosh ingtoh City. 1 also picked up a book printed in Scotland 200 years ago. It was no doubt a prized relic of antiquity with the late owner. IV e arc about ten or twelve miles from Fair fax Court-House, and it is presumed by some that we will next march for that place. We are now in sight of the London find Alexandria Railroad, and while I write I hear the shrill whistle of the locomotive. The night we arrived here the pickets of the California regiment were sent out without the countersign, and were challenged by some of the other pickets. Not giving the required answer they were mistaken for rebels and fired into, killing several men and horses. This was indeed an unfortunate and much to be regretted error; but when we take into consideration the circumstances under which ail the troops la bored from their previous hurried march, as it were, “through the Wilderness,” it was a mis take liable to occur on any occasion of b similar kind. I see by a late number of your paper that a movement is on foot to supply Capt. Wayne’s company with stockings. This is a move in the right direction, for no doubt they will need them. The “Blair County Sharp-Shooters” have two pairs each. Gentlemen, if you arc as tired reading this letteros I am writing it, you will; no doubt, be glad I do not quite exhaust your patience. -I. shall endeavor to keep you posted on all our movements—that is, of such as I may deem ad visable. Cjming events seem to be already casting their shadows before, giving token of stirring times among some of ns. I herewith tender you and all my Altoona friends, my kindest regards. W. I. BLAIN. P. S.—l am writing this in n corn-field, while several soldiers are gathering, corn to cat.— There goes a fellow, with a young dead pig, which be has shot, in a sack. These Tilings are of such common occurrence that I did not think worth while mentioning them before. The Dutch regiment lives on fresh pig, potatoes and lager. W. I. B. Onto Tr.oors js the Field. —Ohio has sixty two regiments of infantry, three of cavalry and one of artillery how commissioned. Forty of these are full, and fifteen others in fair process of completion. On the 27th of September there were returned at Columbus 50,000 men enlisted, and there is no doubt that full 00,000 men will be in the field or ready on the 10th of October. The loyal States, exclusive of Western Virginia, have a population 22,000,000, from which are to be raised 600,000 meu. Ohio has a popula tion of 2,340,000, or 10J per cent of the aggre gate. Her quota of men, therefore, is 53,000. The Cincinnati Gazette says she can send 100,- 000 without interfering with her industrial pnr r suits. The Late High Watee.— The Venango “Spectator,” alluding to the effect of the late high water in that neighborhood, says:—There is but one mill left standing on Clarion river— the rest being swept away.

JAfNE’S SANATIVE FILLS, A MILD, PROMPT * EFFECTIVE REMEDY. THERE is scarcely any disease m winch purgative medicines are not required; and much sickness and suffering might be presented were they more generally heed. Noperaon can feel well whits a costive habit of body prevails: beside., it soon generate, notions and often total diseases, which might ho .voided by tho timely and Judicious use of proper. Cafhsrtie medicines. Convinced of the correctness of these views, JAYNE’S SANATIVE PILLS Aro recommenc'd with Ike greatest tonfidttae, experkifco having demonstrated them to b© far superior to any other in use. being more mild, prompV**& and uniform In their operation. While using them HO particular care •• Re quired, and patients may eat and drink as usual. Age will not impair tltem. as to always reftdJly dissolve In the stom ach. In small doses they are alterative and gently laxa tive, but iu large doses are actively cathartic, cleansing (ho whole alimentary canal from ail putrid, irritating and teCAV matters. s ' . • For DYSPEPSIA, these Pills are really an invaW*bHf article, gradually changing tho vitiated secretions of tho stomach and Liver, and producing healthy aCUon in \iwwn Important organs. In cases of long standing, h ckre wilt be more speedily effected by using, in conjunction with Iho Pills, cither JAYNKS ALTERATIVE oyTOMC VLR MIFUG'K, according to diractlons. ' For Liver Complaint, Gout, Janndico, Affections of U» Bladder and Kidneys, Fevers, Nervousness, Diseases of Um Skin, Impurity of the Bh>od, Slk Headache, Oostitehois, Piles, Female Diseases, and Billions Affections, these PIN* have proved themselves eminently successful. AU that te asked for thorn is a fair trial. . As these Pills have proved themselves so emlhctly etc* ccssftal in removing diseases of the Liver, Dyspepsia aud diseases of tho Skin, 1 have thought it advisable to add the following remarks ou LIVER COMPLAINT. This is .a disease much talked about, but at Ate same time very imperfectly understood, Properly speaking, every derangemerft of the Liver or Billions system 1* a Liver Oomptaiut, but the peculiar slate of the Liver to which I now Imvo reference is a CViroai'c Affection, aud usually arises from a torpid n with the veins of the head and neck, and. Ihendo' : the bile is conveyed to the heart and becomes mixed with tho blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from ' its prof Mir course, tmd circulating iu a part v f the laxly 1 whore it never was designed by nature, produces much evil, and often disastrous eJlt-cU upon the lualth of the indi vidual—bi'canse, for want of hojvlthy bile to mix with tho half-digested food, a complete separation never takes placo between the chyle (tho mllky'liquor which forma tho blood) and those portions of the food designed by nature" to l>e ejected from thc Ikiwcls—for the bile, when separates tho healthy fn-m the unhealthy por tions, in the same manner that isinglass or white or eggs separate wine or cider from their impurities—and. conse quently, the very fountain of life l§ vitiated and corrupted. Costivcucss prevails—or alternately costiveness or diar rhoea—wind in tho stomach and bowels, and the patient is often annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles. The course particles of the bile thus mixed with the blood, more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and small- blood* vessels, aud hence give rise to various dir rases of tho skin,' such as erysipelas, coxema, Uchlngs, small watery Motchess/tumurs, pimples, scnrilness, boils, sore eyes, sorerf and ulcers of various Kinds. JThe skin is iu(»re orTess yellow, and (when tho long standing.) often very dark } and has adi&igrecauloTdirty, gre motion. AT TIMES THE FACE is flushed, with more or leuw fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometime* violent colics, and wandering paths in various parts of l|*e body. Frequently there Is a short hacking cougli, wlth’a hnsklncss of the throat, and sometimes a very severe, dry, and hnrd.cough, which la often mistaken for consumption. Tills cough often commences iu tho latter part of the night* or early in the morning, and lasts for hours, frequently producing nausea and vomiting, -til there he any expecto ration, it is a tough, ropy,-tenacious phlegm, which ad heres t? everything U touches. There aro also frequently chronic pleurisy pains in various parts of tho chest, which shift about from one part of tho breast or aide to tho other. Sometimes abscesses form in the liver, and pressing up ward on tho lungs, produce constriction amt cough, and breaking, discharge their contents into the langs, whence i it must bo ejected by expectoration, or the patient Is de i strayed* Sorao jicruous are troubled witlj spasmodic twitches in various jfarts of the body, sometimes CUntuesa and sighing, difficulty of breathing; reading or talking producing weariness. THERE IS A HEATING SENSA TION near the pit of the stomach, with palpitation and fluttering of the heart; profusion of dandruff and loss of the hair; indeed, to sum up in a few words—a yellow, dirty, greasy appearance of the skin, a yellow or green' tibgc of tho white of the eyes, an aching pain acmes the kidneys and hips, with irritation or heat in discharging urine—a sensation of fullness or distension across the alp demon, with tenderness on pressure—lowness of spirits frightful dreams, acidity of stomach, with other dyspeptic symptoms, billions fevers, billions colic-V and bilious diar rhoea and dysenteries, obstinate costivenoas, intermittent, and remittent fevers, jaundice, fever and ague, kc„ all* originate from th* same cause —a deranged sUtU <\f the liver. Violent remedies always do more harm* than good; bnt, by a persevering use of these pills, air that can In! desired will Ik* accomplished. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL-TREATMENT is th'glv* the fcntlcnr, every night on going to bed, from tvfr four Sanv tfve pills; or enough of them to insure one and n«rt moro' than two evacuations from the bowbfc’ uext' niorning.— Tho dose of the Pills can be increased or dimioiahed at pleasure, bo as to produce tho above effect, ami their use : should bo continued until a’caro i$ completed; and also, at the-same time givo the Alterative three time* a day according to the directions, nnlt-fis there U a wont of appe* tito, with weakness and debility or symptoms of warots T prevail, when, instead of the Alterative, give a teasp6onfort T of the Vermifuge, (mixed Irrac* little cold water,and sweet ened to please the taste, about half an hour each meal, until these symptoms are removed; and' If (haft should be cough, or oppression about the throat or chest; < then give tho expectorant as often and in such .doses hr’ may be found necessary to quiet the cough and duke ex pectoration easy.
