Uew Yeab’b Geeetinq.—Good morning, kind patrons, we hope one and all of you enjoyed a hap py New Year, We did not tell yon that we inten ded to pass yon by last week, and we think that it w ill require bnt a glance to ascertain why we did , w> How do yon like our new dress? We will allow’ each one to form his own opinion, bnt must be permitted to say for ourselves that we think it decidedly heat and pretty hard to beat in the inte rior of the State. In typographical neatness we fed sure that we are not excelled. As to our claims to superiority in other respects we will say nothing. Onr readers are the proper judges, and -with them we rest our case; besides, we know that editors are jealous as~well as modest, and that each one has his own opinion obout the merits of his compositions and selections and we are disposed to accord to others all that wo claim for ourselves. It is now sis years since the senior editor assis ted is issuing the first number of the Altoona Tn bune. The first two years of its existence was maintained with pecuniary loss to the proprietors, occasioned partly by the failure of a similar enter ' prise, a few months previous, which destroyed the confidence of the public, and partly by the rascali ty of patrons. Notwithstanding tl.ie.se reverses we kept the paper up, firmly believing that it-we could convince the public that it was a-permanent insti tution of the place we should be enabled to build up such an establishment as the business of the town demanded, and that our paper would eventual ly fullv remunerate, ns. In these expectations we have not been disappointed, although our subscrip tion list is not as large as it should be. It might easily lie more titan doubHS in the town and coun try, were our friends' to lend us a helping hand, and now that wo have dons all we can to give them a and readable paper we hope they will, in return, give us their assistance in the way of ex tending our circulation. In the future we mean to give more attention to the different departments of our paper, and thereby inake it more acceptable to our readers. Circum stances over which we had no control have hereto fore prevented us from making the Tribune what we tissued, and what it should be. As it was, we were not behind our cotemporaries in the way of late news, but wo did lack in the way of local mat ter, which, in our opinion, is the life of a country paper. Our readers want home news and we moan to give them ail we can get hereafter. Onr army correspondents arc eqnal to the task they have un dertaken, and we hope to have letters regularly from each of them, although, as most of our read ers know, it is difficult for them to keep up a regu lar correspondence. . We have fitted up our job office with another invoice of new display type, and venture the as sertion that we can now get up as neat a job as nine-tenths of the city offices. Having a riding machine on which to execute all kinds of ruling, wc are prepared to get up blanks of every descrip tion, and blank books, in the very neatest stylo.— Our specimens will speak for them wives. Call and examine. Duatii ox a Railway Thais. —The Pittsburgh, Chronicle, of Monday last, contains the following notice of a death which occurred in the sleeping car attached to the Express Train which passed through this place on Saturday morning last : The deceased, it appears, got on tlie .train at Jer sey .City, on Friday afternoon, and took a berth in die sleeping car, and soon afterwards retired for the night. Nothing more ivas seen of him till Saturday morning, when lie was dicovered lying dead in his berth. Neither the passengers nor the officers of the train knew anything about the de ceased, but the body, on its arrival here, was.iden tified as that of George Arnold, a resident of La trobo, Westmoreland county, Penu’a, who was employed as a traveling agent for a New York firm. He was on his way home at the time of his death, and at the very moment his lifeless remains reached Latrobe, his wife was on the platform awaiting his arrival. It. was not ascertained from what the deceased had died. CST Printers always live in hope, though, unfor tunately, they often die in despair. They hope that their delinquent patrons will pay up some day, and they sometimes hope for a seat in the Halls of our State or National Legislatures, and some have even aspired to the Presidency of the United States. Their aims are high, and we believe that they more frequently hit their mark than any oth ers. What we aspire to is of no consequence nt present. What we hoped for was a turkey for our New Year’s dinner. Whether oar aspirations shall ever lie reached wo do hot know, but our hope has been realised, for, on Tuesday afternoon last, we were the recipients of two fine voting turkeys, the donation of a friend who, for the lime, wishes to remain incognito to us. Whoever lie may he he has a heart in the right place, and our done is that whatever he shall put his.hand to pmy pros per, and that he may live long and realize ul! of the pleasures and honors of this life. New Destaj, Preparation.—We hive been shown a couple of set of teeth put up by Dr. Bitt ner,’of this place, on what is termed ajCorelite base, a new discover)-, said to be superior to any thing y«t discovered, and if .there is anything in appearances, it certainly is superior to all others. -Many who have used the gold and silver plate are discarding them and having dentures put up on the Corelite base. TheSnaterial, before being vulcan ized, is soft and pliable, enabling the dentist to take a store perfect impression of the ihouth. After being vulcanized it is hard as steel, and from the fact that there is no metalic substance in it, it is free from all galvanic action and all unpleasant tastes. All those who contemplate renewing their teeth or intend having artificial ones inserted should call and examine Dr.’ B.’s new preparation. HcsTDtG Dose. —The hunting season has closed. The time for shooting deer, pheasants, and partridges exp red yesterday, and we earn estly hope that no one will further molest such game, or break the law, this season. Deer hun tet» have not been very successful this fall, perhaps for want of sn6w. We hare seen but few brought mtothisplace, this season—perhaps not one to every ten brought in last year. If there has not been more than that proportion killed, such game will be abundant next year. The birds have suffered most. Bob White's family his been completely thinned out. The Night After Crristmxs.—The follow ing is an amusing parody upon Clement Jloore’s unequalled “Night before Christmas Twas the night after Christmas, when all through ■ the house, Every soul was abed, and as still os a mouse; The Stockings, so lately St, Nicholas’ care. Were emptied of all that was eatable there. The darlings had duly been tnck’d in their beds, With very full stomachs and pains in their heads. I was dozing away in my new cotton cap), And Nancy was rather far gone in a nap), When out in the nursery there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my sleep, crying, “ what is the matter” I flew to each bedside, still half in a doze. Tore open the curtains, and threw off the clothes, While the light of the raptor served clearly to show The piitcous plight of those objects below; Fur what to the father’s fond aye should appear, But the little pale face of each sick little dear.

I ran and was scarcely back under mv roof. When I hoard the sharp clatter of old Jalap’s hoof; I might say that I had hardly turned inerj-our.d, When the Doctor came into the room with a bound. He was covered with mud from his head to his foot, Aud-the suit be bad on was his very best suit, . He had hardly had time to put that, on his Lack, Ami ho looked like Falstaff half fuddled with sack, His eves how thev twinkled! And the: Doctor got mem’,?

Jl',& J. Lowther have just received an invoice of excellent Family Flour from Withrow’s Beaver Dam Mills, Mifflin county. In these days when it. is much easier to get-.a baiTel of had flour than good, our readers ought to thank us for tediug them where a good article may be obtained, but whether they thank us or not, or take our advice, wo will say that we have'it from good authority that the Beaver Dam iiouj l is equal to the very best now in the market, and that all who buy it will be .perfectly safe in doing so.

Our Aiurr Corrcspondekcs.—We this week present oar renders with several interesting letters from pur army correspondents. The letters of “ Keystone - ’ will set at rest all anxieties in relation to the welfare of the 70th Pa. Regiment, in-which many of our readers have friends, and about which (here was an unfounded report that the vessel which conveyed them South had been wrecked.— We hope'to receive a weekly loiter from “Key-, slono” hereafter. . A Ten Strike. Among the many instances whore the bravery of our officers and men have shown conspicuous, ! the one related below is almost unequalled: Capt. Spencer, aid Jo Gen. Wool, received in formation from two Indies who went from Norfolk to Fortress Monroe with a flag of-trucc, .that near midnight a six-oared boat was to leave Norfolk for Richmond, with money for the payment of the rebel soldiers, lie requested .pennission of Gen. Wool to attempt-tilde capture, and was told not to place too much confidence in . the information received. Nevertheless, pennissbin was given, and selecting' two good oarsmen, on whom lie could rely, witii their pars muliled, he started at dark, and awaited the coming of the enemy’s boat. He had previously given directions to his men to pull directly for the boat, and bu the moment of stri king to “back water” instantly. About midnight the tjorit was heard approaching, and taking his . station in the bow, with a nine-inch shell in his ; hands, he gave the order to “give way.” The moment his bows struck the rebel boat, he threw the shell into the middle of it, and was himself drawn hack, luckily receiving no. injury from the explosion. Not so the boat and occupants, howev er, the former of which was in two, and the latter were scattered in all directions in the water, not however, before discharging their pistols at him, . two "balls going through his cap and three perfora ting his coat, The men were then told that if they submitted qhietly they would lie'saved, otherwise he would leave them to their fate. They preferred the former ; and arming himself with a pistol in hand and a dirk (taken by him at the-battle of Bull Run from a “Secesh”) In the other, he took them in his boat one by one, handcuffing them as ■ they pulled in. In addition to which from the , stem of the enemy’s boat, which floated, he took $l,lOO in gold, and $3,000 in their worthless pa per money. It was with some difficulty that he reached the Fort, the gunwale of the boat being al most level with the water from its increased freight. Siv age Warfare. —The Louisville Journal publishes the follwoing: “Colonel Humphrey Marshall, in a receht letter to the Nashville-Louisville- Courier, asks for a few hundred of Buckner’s Cherokee Indians to be sent to him to fight the mountaineers.’' He dated his letter from Sounding Gap, and was advancing into the mountains of Kentucky. “This call upon General Buckner by one of the principal rebel officers in Kentucky establishes the the fact, which has been faintly denied by some of our secessionists, that the rebel authorities have brought regiments of Indians into Southern Ken tucky fight our people. It establishes the'atro cious fact in such a way that even the secession ists themselves cannot gainsay iti The deed is un outrage upon all the laws of civilized warfare, and those guilty of it should he outlawed be the com mon consent of all civilized men." Bloody Tragedy at Warsaw. — A Moody tragedy occurred at the town of Warsaw, on the Ohio river, one day last week. It ajipears that as the fleet of steamers bearing Wynkoop's cavalry regiment passed the town, the Unionists, who were gathered on the bank of the river, commenced cheering, when a man named John Leonard drew a large cleaver, and swore he could whip seven Lin coln men. He shot at a Union man named Clem mons, who returned the fire, and Leonard fell mor tally wounded. A general shooting then began, in the course of which twenty-four shots Were fired. Talbot Leonard, a brother of' John, was shot, and instantly killed. Both of these Leonards were vi olent Secessionists, and have been the cause of all the trouble in that;place. Clemmons received a pistol shot through the hand, and John Oliver was shot through the arm. The two Leonards out of the wav—one of them dead and the other mortally wounded —and the affray was ended. Subsequently the town was‘occupied by a detachment of Union troops, and several, Secessionists, including a son of Humphrey Marshal!, arrested. Great excite ment prevailed, hut ,no further violence was anti cipated. Tun Evacuation of Galveston - .—' The Intelli gence of the evacuation of Galveston by the con federates, though entirely unexpected, may be re garded as entirely reliable, since it comes to us from the cnemv. The city is situated on an island, and defended, we believe,’"by a stone fort, and protected only by open sand-bag batteries, whoc incompetedcy to code with a brisk mprtar fire iVum fleet was clearly demonstrated at Port Koval. The Confederates have no doubt retired to the main lahd, leaving Galveston, the chief port and most important city in Texas, to he occupied by Our troojis. This adds another most valuable po sition to the jiosLs now girding the South ern coast. The loss of it cannot faihto be discour aging to Texans. Thi: Rebels ok Mason and Slidell. —The Richmond Examiner, of Tuesday- last, greatly fears that the United States will surrender Messrs. Ma son and Slidell to Bptish oatkomy. It adds, “that the United will submit to a shame yet unre corded in the annals of the history of any nation, rather than disturb their infernal purpose to grind into the earth the liberties of the South. By the abject submission demanded, the United States may avert, but only for awhile a war with Great Britain.” SPECIAL NOTICES. Military Uniforms.—There is, perhaps, bo department of military business in which there has been a more marked improvement than in the clothing of soldiers.— Not many years since, ollicera and privates were clad in garments which verc almost skin-tight. They wore leather stocks, which were worthy of the name, for they kept the wearer in tribulation.; while th*ir padded breasts and tight sleeves raado'volition a matter of great difficulty. During the present war, such of our volunteers as pro cure their uniforms at the Brown Stone Clothing Dali of Rockhill & Wilson, No&. 693 and 605 Chestnut strset above Sixth, Philadelphia, obtain clothiug that is perfectly easy, substantial and becoming. The. firm named hrvo gone largely into the basilicas of making Military Clothing, and their facilities enable them fo fill the largest orders iu the shortest possibly time. A Card to the Suffering. The Rev. Wm. Cosgrove, while laboring as a missionary in Japah. was cured of Consumption, when all otherm/jans had failed, by a recipe.obtained from a learned physician residing iu the great city of Joddo.

GRTTixares: —Your note of the 16th inst., has’ been ceived, saying that you had heard that I had been bone fitted by the use of Wood’s Hair Restorative, and request ing my certificate af the fact if 1 had no objection to give it. I award it to yem cheerfully, because I think U due ; , My age is about 50 years; the color of my hair auburn, and inclined to curl. Some five or six years since it began to turn gray, and the scalp on the crown of my head to lose its sensibility and dandruff to form upon it. Each of these disagreeobililies increased with time, and about 4 months since a fourth was added to them, by hair falling off the top oft* my he4d hnd threatening to make me bald. In this unpleasant predicament, I was induced to try Wood’s Hair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling off. of my hair, for I had really no expectation that gray hair could ever be, restored to its original color except from dyes. I was, however, greatly surprise* Ito find after the> use of two bottles only, that not only was the falling off arrested, but the color was restored to the gray hairs and sensibility to the scalp, and dandruff censed to form on tny bond, very much to the gratification of my wife, at whose solicitation I was induced to try it. For this, among the many obligations I owe to heir sex. I strongly recommend all husbands who value the admi ration of their wives to profit by and use it if growing gray or getting bald* Verv respectfully, ■ , m BEN. A. LAVENDRK.

BILLIOIIS AFFECTIONS, LIVER COMPLAINT. SICK HEADACHE, DYSPEPSIA, &C., 4C JAYNE’S SANATIVE PILLS, A MILD, PROMPT A EFFECTIVE REMEDY, rpHERE is scarcely any disease in which 1 porgitivt nedicioet Are not Retired; and much sickness and suffering might be prevrnUd wore they more generally used.' Noperson etui feel veil vb£k a costive mbit of body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and often fetal diseases, which might be avoided by tbs timely and judicious use of proper Cathartic medicines. Convinced of the correctness of these views, JAYNE’S SANATIVE PILLS Are recommended witb the greatest confidence, experience having demonstrated them to be far superior to any other in use, being more mild, prompt, safe and uniform in their operation. While using them no particular care is re quired, and patients may eat and drink as usual. Age will not impair tltexn, as to always readily dissolve in the stom ach. In small doses they are alterative and gently laxa tive, but in large done* are actively cathartic, cleansing the whole alimentary canal from all putrid,irritating and fecal matters. For DYSPEPSIA, these Pills are really an invaluable article, gradually changing the vitiated secretions of Iho Stomach and Liver, and producing healthy action in those important organs. In coses of long standing, a cure will bo more speedily effected by using, ill conjunction with tho Pills, either JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE or TONIC VER MIFUGE, according to directions. For Liver Complaint, Gout, Jaundice, Affections of the Bladder and Kidneys, Fevers, Nervousness. Diseases of the Skin, Impurity of the Bb>od, Sik Headache, Costivenese, Piles, Female Diseases, and Billions Affections, these Pills have proved themselves eminently successful. All that is asked for them is a fair trial. As these Pills have proved themselves so eminetly suc cessful in removing diseases of the Liver, Dyspepsia and diseases of the Skin,l have thought itadv&abio (d add the following remarks oa : , - LIVER COMPLAINT. This is a disease much talked about, but at the samd time-very imperfectly understood. Properly speaking, every derangement of tbo Liver or Billions system is a Liver Complaint, but the peculiar state , of the Liver to which I now have reference is a Chronic Affection, and usually arises from a torpid or congestive slate of that important organ. Sometimes the bile is de ficient in quantity, or vitiated in quality, or both these states prevail at the same time. Sometimes the disease is owing to obstruction in the duct pr pipe which conveys the bile from the liver into the bowels, This obstruction is very frequent, und is .usually caused by tho pipe being clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucous, and some times by gall stones. The tile is then thrown back into, the gall-bladder, where it is absorbed by numerous small vessels which convey it iuto tho Thoracic Duct, a pipe that runs up along the spine, und terminates in and emp- , ties itself into the largh vein of tho left shoulder, near itrf Junctim with the veins of the head and neck, and thence the bile is conveyed to tho heart and becomes mixed with ' tho blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from its proper course, and circulating in a part o f the “body where it never was designed by nature, produces much evil, and often disastrous effects upon the health of the indi vidual—because, for want of healthy bile to mix with tho half-digested food, a complete separation never takes place between tho chyilo (the milky liquor which forms tho and thoyo portions of tho food designed by nature to be ejected from the boWsls—for the bile, when present, purifi“B and separates the healthy Gum the unhealthy por tions, in the same manner that isinglass or white of eega separate wine or cider from their impurities—und, conse quently. the very fountain of life is vitiated and corrupted. Costivencss prevails—or alternately costivoness or diar rhoea—wind in the stomach aud bowels, and the patient is often, annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles. The coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with the blood, more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and small blood vessels, and hence giro rise to various diseases of the skin, such as erysipelas, cozuma, itohings, small watery vessels, Wotehces tumors, pimples, scurfiuess, boils, sore eyes, sores and ulcers of various kinds. The skin Is more or less yellow, and (when tbe disease la of long standing.) often verycfarA-.and has a disagreeable, dirty, greasy appearance, and sometimes there is a perfect jaundice. The v.'h\U of 5 e eyes also has a (j,recn or yellow tinge. MORE OR LESS bile is strained from the Mood in its passage through the kidneys, and, by its acrimony, pro duces pains in tho back, and scalds and irritates all tho urinary passages. Some days the passage of urine is pr«*- fuse,and natural in appearance; atothertimesitlsscanty, ;and the desire to evacuate is frequent aud urgent. Some times the. color Is nearly white and milky, but usually it in high colored, red or yellow, with a rank, offensive odor aud sometimes it is bloody. Tho tongue is usually more or less coated with a brown scurf. There is irritation, and frequently chronic inflam mation of the inner surface of the stomach aud bowels, with a tenderness on pressure, and a soreness along tbe lower edge of the ribs. SOMETIMES THERE IS A LOATHING of food, and at other times there is a voracious appetite. There is often a feeling of chilHaes*, and coldness of the feet and knees, and along the inside of the thighs—sour or bitter eructa tions, ami sometimes a spitting or throwing up of the fowl , after eating. There is a feeling of oppression across the stomach and chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome aud often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor, want of ener-v gy, melancholy restlessness and discontcnteduess, dreami ness of mind—tlmarpnaness aud a great deal of trouble, aud a disposition to magnify everything, sometimes great watclifulluess and an inability to sleep—at others great drowsiness, weariness, and disinclination to motion. AT TIMES THE FACE Is flushed, with more or lew fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometimes violent colics, and wandering pains in various parts of tho body. Frequently there is a short hacking cough, with a , liuskiuostf of tho throat, ami sometimes a severe, dry, and hard cough, which is often- mistaken for consumption. This cough often commences in tho latter.part of the night or early iu the morning, and lasts for hours, frequently producing nau*4a aud vomiting. If there be any expecto ration, if is a tough, ropy, tenacious phlegm, which ad heres t-> everything it touches. There are also frequently chronic pleurisy pains in various parts of the chert, which shift about from one part of the breast or side to tho other. Sometimes abscesses form in the liver, and pressing up ward on the lungs, produce constriction and 1 cough, ami breaking, discharge their contents iuto the lungs, whence It must be ejected by expectoration, or the patient is de stroyed. Some persons are troubled with spasmodic twitches in various parts of tbe body, sometimes faintness and sighing, difficulty of breathing; rending or talking producing weariness. THERE IS A BEATING SENSA TION near the pit of tho stomach, with palpitation and fluttering of tho heart; profusion of dandruff and lose of k the hair; indeed, to sum up in a few words—a yellow, dirty, greasy appearance of the skin, a yellow or green tinge of the white of the eye's, an aching pain across tho kidneys and hips, with Irritation or beat in discharging urine—a sensation of fullness or distension across the ab (loin™, with tenderness on pressure—lowness of spirit., frightful dreams, acidity of stomach, with othordyspeptic symptoms, billions fevers, billions colics and bilions dinr rliom nod dysenteries, obstinate costivontss, intermittent and remittent feveiji, jaundice, ague, 4c.. all originate from th» same cause—a deranged date of the Urer. Violent remedies always do more harm than good • hut, by a persevering use of these pills, all that ran ha desired will he accomplished. TIIE MOST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT is to give the patient, every night on going to hod, from two four Sana tive pills; or enough of them to insure one and not more than two evacuations from tho bowels next morning.— The dose of tho Pills can bo increased or diminished nt pleasure, so as to produce the above effect, and their use should be continued until a cure is completed; arid'also, at the same time give the Alterative three’ times a day according to the directions, unless there la n want of appe tite, with weakness and debility or symptoms of worms prevail, when, instead of tho Alterative, give a tcaspoonftil of the Vermifuge, (mixed in a little cold water and sweet ened to please the taste, about half an hour before each ■ meal, until these symptoms are removed; and if there shonldjm cough, or oppression about the throat or chest, than give the expectorant as often and in such doses as may be funnd necessary to quiet the cough ahd make ex perforation easy. , TJ \*&**tive Pills, and all of DR.
