War News.
Exciting war news is scarce tins week.
We are continually assured bj the army
reportersfor the daily papers, that a for-
is to be made by the army
of the Potomac in a. few days, but the
" few days" are as long coming as the
".good times” so often song about. The
last report is that Gen. McCall will cer
fcrinfy advance on Leesburg this week and
oecnpy it, making it his winter quarters.
An julvapce in the direction of Fairfax
Court-House is also put down in the pro
gramme. The Potomac, which was to
have been cleared of rebel batteries in less
than ten days, some two weeks since, still
remains in tiaim quo, if, indeed, the rebels
hue not increased-4heir strength and for
tiflcatJons.
In Eastern Tennessee the Union feeling
iarjaingand it is to be hoped that the
Union men of .that section may receive aid
from the Federal troops sufficient to ena
ble them to pass from under the sway of
the Southern oligarchs and wheel into the
line of the Union.
■ From Missouri we hare not much of in
terest. Time most necessarily elapse ere
the new commanders in that {department
become sufficiently acquainted with the
army and the country to make forward
increments; and it is now'' about time they
should look put for regular winter quarters.

effect that Fort Pickens has commenced

Pittsburgh Penutle College
We learn that the examination of the
clones of &u flourishing iastittltion will
takepkoe on Wfrdneidsy, December sth.
The usual literary entertainment will be
given in th» evening of the ibl£)*ing day.
jWe;ate pleased to kern that the attend
ance the present term, despite the hard
times, t* one hundred and leventy-eix,
an advance on any previous term in the
history of the College. These pupils hail
from almost every part of the land, from
Kansas in the far West, to Philadelphia
in our own State. No institution in the
land has grown more rapidly in public
favor both at home and abroad, and no one
affords greater facilities for obtaining all
the elements of a solid and ornamental edu
cation. The circulars of studies is unsur
passed, and the large andmble faculty of
teachers are untiring in their efforts to
secure the advancement of those placed
under their tuition. We are especially
pleased with the; efforts made by the trus
tees to continue jthe useful with the orna
mental, and to open to young Indies new
means of obtaining a livelihood. In ad
dition to the Telegraph, referred to by us
on a former occasion, and which is a deci
ded success, a fine i large organ has been
purchased of Mr. Jardine, in New York,
and will be ready for-use by the commence
ment of next. term. It is sufficient to
state that instructions will be given on it
by Prof. Bofabock, so well and favorably
known as a music teacher.
The prospects for the next term, which
will commence December ;9th, are of the
most flattering character, and we advise
those at a distance, who wish to attend
to make application immediately.
New County Officers. —The new
county officers, elected in October last,
have all assumed the duties of their offi
ces. James M. Kinkead, Esq., has been
sworn in as Commissioner, and takes the
place of Enos' M. Jones, Esq. The old
board came in for a full share of kicks and
clouts from political opponents and disap
pointed applicants for favors, but we think
we will be borne out in asserting that they
performed their duties faithfully and to
the best interests of the tax-payers.—
Messrs. Cowan and Eoon are practical
business men, in whose hands the funds
of the county are safe, and additional safe
ty, if it were needed, is secured by the as
sociation of Mr. Einkead.
Samuel McCamant, Esq., has entered
upon his duties as Sheriff, in'roora of Jas,
Funk, Esq. 1 la Sheriff -Funk the county
had-a straightforward, honest and energetic
officer, who shrank from no resposibility
and rendered justice to all. In Sheriff Mc-
Camant we have a man well worthy the of
fice. We have heretofore spokes of his
qualifications for the position,-and, there
fore, shall add-nothing further. But this
we may be allowed to predict, that when he
retires from office it will bo acknowledged
that be was one of the best Sheriff’s the
county ever had.
Joseph Baldridge, Esq-, has vacated the
Protbonotary’s office, after filling it for six
years with great credit to himself and the
entire satisfaction of the people of the
county, to make room for Anthony S. Mor
row, Esq. Mr. Morrow will, we think, be
an acceptable and popular officer, as he is
every inch a gentleman.
What it is to Feed an Akmy.—The
Lnion forces, regulars and volunteers now
in the field and in course of organization,
amount, in round numbers, to six hun
dred and fifty thousand men. It may be.
interesting to know what an army of this
strength will consume in one month. We
therefore append the following; figures,
which are strictly correct:
14.626.000 pounds of pork, or 24,875 pounds of
fresh beef.
136,994 barrels of flour.
48,760 bnsbelb of beans, or 1,950,000
pounds of rice.
1.960.000 ponnds of coffee.
2.892.000 pounds of sngar.
196,000 gallons of vinegar.
12,249 bushels of salt.
8.580.000 ponnds of potatoes.
The supply of candles is 292,600 pounds each
week, and of soap 780,000 ponnds.
Ctoino into THE Aemy. —We notice
that friend Brown, of the Centre- Demo
crat£late Treasurer of Centre county, is
enlisting a company of “ Sharp-Shoot
ers" for the three years’ service. He pub
lishes a flaming appeal to the patriots of
Centro to, rally aroond the old flag, and we
feel sure that all who place themselves
under the care and guidance of “Bill
Brown” will fare well and have an officer
of whom they will never feel ashamed.—
Success to Brown and his “ Sharp-Shoot
ers.”

[We extract the following from a tetter id

Although not originally intended for publica

will pardon ns and please write soon again:]
; Caw Oho, near Washington, \
November 20, 1861. J
Ui Dean Bnornna:—Ton will pardon all
seeming negligence on my part, when I tell yon
that thirls the first time I hare had, since my
arrival here, to writer When we arrived in
this city we were assigned to quarters in the
Park Honse, on the west ehd of Seventh street,
which was quits coxy and comfortable; but
soldiers are not expected to enjoy such comforts
very long, as we discovered, about the Ist inst.,
when a courier arrived, at a full gallop, bear
ing in his hand something that looked like a
“sealed order.” Every one was on the qui rise,
and anxious to know the contents. Some said
we wereito cross the river; others that we were
to move west; but soon the bugle notes of the
Orderly Sergeant,‘‘Call in!” was'beard above
the din mid confusion, and the order was read
to “ pack np and leave in ten minutes.” It was
raining in torrents, and the wind blew bleak and
chilly over the north-west bills, making us shiver
and shrink from it, oven under the cover of our
great-costs. Which we drew closely around us.
la ten minutes’ time every man had responded
tq his name, and we buckled on our sabres, and
bade farewell to onr old camp, leaving it to
those who 'come to take our place; and with a
sigh of regret,, not from associations, bat for
lost comforts, we turned oar bucks upon Camp
Park, and,-through the mists and shades of eve
ning andnjght, wended our way to our present
camp—right in the pine woods, clearing away
the brush as best we could; and although but
few of our; men bad ever seen a tent pitched
before, we soon had them np, when we com
menced preparing a cold supper for cold and
hungry men, after which we huddled together
in our tents and soon forgot the fatigue and
toils of the: day in a sound and refreshing sleep,
in which' the dreams of home, the dear ones
left behind, made the picture bright, and the
hours floy silently by, to bring the morn and
the stern duties of the soldier.
. But now we have got oiir camp fixed up, so
that one who saw it a week ago would not now
know it was the same. Camp Ohio is about six
miles fropi the City of Washington, and ne have
named it from onr own State—Ohio—we .being
the only Ohio troops in the Army of the Potomac.
It is in the centre of a grove of young pines,
whose dark green branches, although the sea
son is for advanced, make us forget while we
look up among them, that the oak and the
hickory are shedding their green robes, ready
to receive the winter blasts with bare and brist
ling arms. In the midst of them I now sit,
penning these lines, while the shrill blast of
bugle, and the soul-stirring notes of the drums
around me,; bring back the realities of my posi
tion, and the reason why 1 am here. Going,
oat upon the road to the east of our camp, on
the aarrqnnding hills, seven fortifications may
be seen with the asked eye, and in some the
yawning (nputh of the painted cannon may be
seen, looking defiance to the. rebels and their
infatuated leaders. The numbers and strength
of the different camps around here I cannot
give; sufljicis it to say, if the men who are now
here have the right kind of leaden —those that
will do their duty by the men as the men do
their duty as soldiers—the death-warrant of
treason is already signed by the dark hand of
fate, and the trumpet that sounds the charge in
the coming battle, sounds the death-knell of
secession.. How far this evH of incompetency
in officers has been remedied, I am neither able
nor permitted to say, but 1 hope that none hold
responsible positions,,here or .elsewhere, but
those who are able ana competent for all their
duties; forgetting the petty considerations of
position, in the great desire for the common
good, and with willing hands working together
with those beneath them in rank, for one end
Constitutional liberty.
That a !man is better (because he is elected
to command a body of men,) than the men who
elected him, is more than I can see; for what
of dignitjr and distinction he gains is only
gained through them. As well might the flower
despise thje jdiisty bulb that nourished the stem,
for separate them and the flower dies. When
officers without military knowledge, without
age and. experience, assume to be what they
are not, and by invitation would ape their'supe
riors, then there is little to be expected of those
who are under them; and in such cases it would
bo well, when trouble arises, to look not only to
the men, but to both officers and men, for if
this is not done the really innocent may suffer,
while the teally culpable may go unpunished.
Volunteer companies, in choosing their offi
cers, should consider well who is to command
them, for in his hands, to a great extent, they
place both their reputation and their lives, and
the guardian should be worthy of the trust.
1 make pbese remarks because of the fre
quency of removals In the volunteer corps, of
men who ate addicted to drunkenness and other
vices, whiejh make it very unpleasant to the
men. One; pf our Lieutenants is now under
arrest for endeavoring to raise a mutiny in the
camp, and the other one. is to be tried for incom
petency and inefficiency. The Captain is a
thorough-going business 1 man, and in every way

Messk«. Editors:— Oh! but the weather is
cold, down here in “Dixie," and wipdy without
cessation. If the weather don’t moderate, or
wo are not soon removed from this place to a
more Southern location, we will begin to ima
gine Virginia a portion of the frozen regions.
It feels more like the North Frigid Zone than
a part of the “Sunny South." How fortunate
that wood is plenty!— and we make good use of
it. Nearly every tent has a large fire in front
of it, sometimes two or three feet high, around
which the men gather to enjoy the comforts,
such as they afford. But, alas for the comforts
derived therefrom!. Such a rubbing of smoky
eyes is rarelyUcen, and. such a grumbling sel
dom heard. We stand before the fire until our
eye* -:sti iteMt blinded with smoke, sod oar
books pierced -with the cold Horth-we4tef, when
«• tarn, a* it wen, oar backs upon both' our
friend ud enmey. Then, while our becks ere
getting comfortably worm, oar feces are uncom
fortably cool; end oar shoes end the legs Of oar
pants get warmer still, owing to their close
proximity to the fire, ami the consequence is
that nearly ercty fellow has the lege of his
pants horned In' holes; and this is the ease
throughout the entire regiment .Seme of the
men hare dug holes, to the- depth of two or
three fret, inside of their tents, in imitation of
a fire-place, and thence under the side of the
tent to a similar hole on the outside, orer which
they boild a chimney. It is really aatonisbing
how comfortable a tent can thns be made, and
the time employed in the operation ia only abont
two or three hoars.
I suppose yoa are aware that several of onr
troops were captured by the Rebels, a few days
since, while out foraging.* The capture of
men who arc ailly enough to leave their gans—
which should never be ont of their hands, or
reach, while ont of camp—exposed as they
were, is not much to be regretted, and I think
there are plenty of better men to take their
places. I learn that two or three of the Rebel
cavalry were taken by our pickets recently,
which may prove a fair exchange.'
TJw other day the 9th Massachusetts regi
ment buried the first man of their regiment who
has died since they have been in the service.—
The difference between our regiment and theirs,
in that respect, is very great—our company
alone having buried at least two, and they some
time ago. Besides we have continually some
half a doien or more on the sick (?) list. Per
haps onr skirmishing and picket duty U too
severe on us, and is the cause of so much sick
ness! (We have been once on picket, apd once
on picket reserve.) We drill regularly twice
every day with the regiment. I suppose that
is indispensable to our proficiency ns a regiment.
Testefday we received light-blue pants, the
same as the rest of the regiment '-What we
will receive in lieu of the blouse I am unable to
say, but that matters little. A man can fight
as well in one uniform as another. I think our
regiment, with Col. Black to lead if, will fight
os well as any other in the service. We are
now known as the G2d regiment—another, as I
understand, haring taken precedence as the
33d. However, the number of the regiment is
of little or no importance. In directing letters,
the important matter is the name of the Colonel
and the letter of the company; also, the dcsti
nation—Washington City, I). C.—that being the
termination of the regular mail route. The
position of regiments being so uncertain, each
one provides its own carrier, who brings all
mail matter directly to the regiment.
Yesterday the expected review of the Army
of the Upper Potomac came off at Ball’s Cross
Roads, near Munson’s Hill. We started to tbe
place with 20 rounds of ball cartridge, expect
ing to find occasion to use them, but in this we
were disappointed. We started about 7 o’clock
in the morning and arrived there about 10
o’clock, travelling in a circuitous directiou, in
order, no doubt, to prevent the enemy, who I
believe ore in sight of us, from observing, our
movements. I understand there was 90 regi
ments of infantry, 21 batteries of artillery,
(consisting of over 100 guns,) and 7 regiments
of cavalry, amounting to about 70,000 men.—
There were a large number of men engaged on
picket duty, aud at this particular time the
picket guard was doubled. Had the whole
| Army of the Upper Potomac been on the field,
| the nnmber would have exceeded 100,000 men,

Tbit is a disease much talked about, hat a* the it* !

Properly speaking, every derangement of tbe Li»« t
ClUious system la aLisor Complaint, bat Uie pccoliir ii*

Affection, and usually arises from a torpid or congeal
state of that important organ. Sometime*, the bile*,-,
floient in quantity, or vitiated in quality, or both
itate* prevail at tbe same time. Sometime* tbe diseast,
owing to’obstruction ia tbe duct or pipe which cont^ (
the kalle from the liver into theboweU, This obstreetii
fe veryfrequent, and U usually caused by tbe pi|*
clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucous, W |J
times by gall stones. The bile is then thrown back iaw I
the gallbladder, where it is absorbed by-numerous yjvC I
vessels qhkh convey it into the . Thoracic Doct,»i,iJ
that runs op along the spine, and tenoiaates iu and ea
tics itself into the large vela of the left shoulder, Q elr .£
Juncti n with the veins of the head and neck, aud tbrkd
the bile is conveyed to tbe heart aud becomes mixed %ak
•the blood. Tbe bile in ibis, manner being diverted frna
its proper course, and circulating in a part o' Um> I*4,
where it never was designed by nature, produces much ni
and often disastrous effects upop the health ofltauw*.
vidual—because, for want of healthy bile to mix vitit dt
balMigested food, a complete separation never hikes
between the chyle (tbo milky liquor which feral tb
blood) and thoee portions of the food designed by aai-s
to be ejected from the bowels—for the bile, when pxwtu ?
purifies and separates the healthy from the uubealthrpr
lions, in the same manner that isinglass or white of , c -,
separate wine or cider from their impurities—amt

The course particles of the bile thus mixed with the i.W
more or less obstruct the pores of the skfn and nmsll btal
i vessels, and hence give rise to various diseases of the d a
1 such as erysipelas coaema, ilchiugs, small watery
