Murray, of Hollidaysburg, in command of the Eighty-fourth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, had fallen _ at the battle at Winchester, while gallantly lead ing a charge, at the head of his regiment;, Im mediately on receipt of the information of his fall, preparations were made to have him brought to Hollidaysbrng and interred by'fhe side of his wife. Accordingly on Wednesday last iris corpse was brought to Harrisburg, where his mother and sisters reside, where it was Kept until 9 o’clock on Friday morning following, when it was placed oh board the Mail Train, and brought to this place and transferred to the Branch Train. It was ac companied by the mother, sister,’ and several near relatives of the deceased; the Joint Legislative Committee, consisting of Messrs. Reilly, SerrilF and Kinsey, of the Senate, and Messts. Banks, Barron and Blanchard, of the House; Captain Bahaa, Lieuts.nO’Neal, Burtin and Nininger, Ser . gcont Ramey and two privates, all of the 84th regiment, together with a delegation of citizens from Harrisburg, intimate personal friends of the | deceased. As the train passed the Eagle Iron Works, at the upper end of Harrisburg, all the employees of that, establishment,, headed O. Hickok, Esq., the proprietor, ranged themselves in a line oh the edge of the pavement, with their un covered, as a mark of respect to the passing re mains of the gallant dead. All along the rood crowds were congregated at the depots, anxious to obtain a sight of the de ceased, but they had to content themselves with a sight of the coffin. * Previous to the arrival of the train at this sta tion, s great crowd of people hod collected at the depot, under the belief that they would be gratified with a sight of the remains of the man who had reHectcd so much honor upon his country and the county of bis adoption, whose death they so much lamented and whoso memoiy they will ever revtfre. But in tills they were disappointed. As a mark of respect to the deceased, in fact all our citizens wen; able fo pay, in consequence of the short time; his remains were in our midst, the flags were d&playcd at half-mast, and all the church bells! and the slSbp bell on the Company’s works were! tolled from the time the Mail Train entered the town until the Branch Train passed out. On the arrival of the train at Duncansville, the coffin was taken out of the car and placed on if; hearse. Carriages were also provided for the rela tives and escort. The procession was then formed hv Marshals Col. John Piper and J. J. Osterloli as follows : Van tries Cornet Baud, Sergt, Ramey - hearing American flag draped in mourning, hearse' with privates from 84th regiment on either side - , with muskets reversed, officers of regiment, car riages with relatives and Legislative escort, citi zens in carriages, citizens on foot. Thus formed,J the procession moved into Hollidaysbutg, the band playing appropriate music, and marched directly io the residence of the father-in-law, of the de- i ceased, John Dougherty, Esq., where the coffin ] was removed from tl|e hearse to the house, and opened in order to afford the children of the de ceased an opportunity to gaze upon the features of their departed sire. This was truly an (Sleeting and impressive interview, and brought tears to the eyes of every spectator. 1 After the relatives and immediate friends of the family had obtained a sight of the corpse, the doors of the residence were thrown open to gratify the r turiosit - v ffie public with a similar sight, and for nearly two hours there was almost a constant line of people entering the house for this purpose. All the flags we the town were dis , played at half-mast and most of them heavily j craped. On the front of one building,we noticed, in frame and craped, an excellent likeness of the deceased, taken by Proctor. All business places; were closed as the cortege entered town, and every-. thing went to show how ranch the deceased was, respected by those who knew him best. We take the following account of the burial of CoL Murray from the Standard of this week; “At ten o’clock on Saturday morning the coffin containing the corpse, covered, with the American flag, was carried on a bier to St. Mary’s Church It was preceded by the band, military, &c., In pre cisely the same order as the day before. High’ Mass, and a' most touching and eloquent discourse being delivered over the dead body by Rev. John VValsh, the procession returned in the same order t° the Catholic Cemetery. The day proceeding, on which the remains arrived here, was singularly pleasant and beautiful, but on the ceremonies' at die church being concluded, a furious snow storm was raging from the east, but it did not diminish m die least the feelings and interest of the thous ands who thronged the streets and followed in the, procession. His remains were deposited by the side of his wife, whom he had followed thither but ; r ii'L, ort J llOll1 * 18 before.

A military escort and Masoninc pall bearers acconi panied the hearse, and, preceded by the -Band playing a funeral march, moved, to -the Presbyte rian cemetery. The Standard, from 'which we obtain most of the account given above, closes its notice of the funeral as follows: The Masonic services at the grave were beauti ful and appropriate. After some suitable remarks from the Master of the Lodge, a white lamb-skin apron, the emblem of innocence and the badge of a Mason, was deposited in the grave upon the , coffin, “reminding them of the universal domin ion of death.” Each member then deposited a sprig of evergreen, which commemorated their, faith in the immortality of the spul. The grave was then closed, a salute fired by the military, and ail that was mortal of Capt. Gallaher was left to mingle with its mother earth. He has wrought his last work as a Mason; he has performed the last duties of his campaign on earth; and, re gretted by his many fHfnds, he 'has disappeared from amongst ns, respected for his many virtues, and honored by his country as a martyr to her cause. Swuhg—Qua Neighbors.-— The first of April brings more changes than that of season. New scenes and associations are. presented for our ad miration and enjoyment.' . Changes in business and locations, and in financial and domestic affairs are the necessary concomitants of the first of April. Those who have prospered in business ndw remove to more congenial residences and localities, while those who have met a reverse on the wheel of for tune accept less agreeable, domiciles and associa tions. Those who do not move are all anxiety to know what kind of neighbors they are about to re ceive. Where are the old ones going, and who are these just arrived? are the all absorbing ques tions. Those who move in must not be annoyed at the numerous questions, looks, observations and nods of the people over the way. If the out-goers*' were good neighbors, it is pleaaant to learn they are not going far; if they are bad neighbors, it is gratifying to know they are entirely beyond reach. To know the precise character, or rather the re ceived reputation of the incomers is of still more importance. Good neighbors are not only an honor, but they are a comfortable blessing daily experienced. An effort, therefore, to learn the “position” of a new neighlror cannot properly be ternjed inquisitiveness; but is rather a legitimate search after desirable information. Furthermore, the windows in the house “just opposite” were made to look put of, and it is entirely proper that j they should be thus used. j About this time sidewalks should be fixed up.— It is anything but pleasant to have the water bub bling up around your feet as yen walfif and occa sionally have it squelch over your boot tops. It is a lucky thing for the ladies that balmoral boots are fashionable. Bad pavements denote careless ness on the part of the owner, : and lead to the be lief that he or she is equally careless in all other respects. Fix up the sidewalks soon as possible. Gas ekom I’etkoleum.— The Toronto Globe gives an account of further experiments in the manufacture of gas from crude petroleum, which are being made with great apparent success in that city. The dames of the coal oil gas were shown to be larger and more brillhint than that of the coal gas, although the burners were nil of equal size and the pressure was stated to be the same in both cases. One would hardly believe that gas of such pure quality could be produced from coal oil, and that, too, in its unrectified state. The opera tion by result is achieved is very simple, and: the machinery is not so elaborate and costly as that required to make coal gas. It is also said that it is manufactured at a saving of 75 per cent. Accident. —On Friday last, a little boy, about three years old, son of Mr. John Smith, who lives on the farm adjoining West Ward, came near losing two of his fingers in this wise: He and an elder brother were hacking around the wop<J-pile with a hatchet, and the younger, in attempting to pull a stick front off the chopping-block, just as the elder made a stroke upon it, placed his fingers where the stroke fell, and had the two middle fingers of his left band cut almost oft’, midway be tween the first and second joints. His father brought him to Dr, Calderwopd’s office, where his wounds were dressed. The Dr. thinks one of the fingers must come off, find probably both. Fntesu Fish. —Fresh fish are a luxury and de cidedly palatable about this time, when almost every one has had a surfeit of salt beef and pork. Among the best fresh fish we have yet sampled is the haddock, a species which come from “ away down east.” ; They are received by express, from Boston, by our townsman, Air. Bobison, whose market honse is opposite Hilcman’s store. They are delicious when rightly served up, and are really as cheap as beef. Mr. K. retails them at seven cents per pound. Call and get one, and don’t think yon are buying a lot-.of bones. : Haddock have no more bones than a catfish. The Lumber ’ Business.—From the Rafts man's Journal we learn that the amount of lumber shipped and floated from Clearflcld county this season will not amount to more than orie-half that of previous years. This we presume will be the case in all parts of. the lumbering region, and con sequently lumber will advance in price. A great amount of lumber will be required for building shijM and gunboats, and other army purposes.— There will also be as much building done through out the country as heretofore, We would advise all our citizens who contemplate building this sea son, to lay in their supply of lumber as early as possible. ' - *3- Coi. Bowman, of mu 1 , namesake over foe An Item.-—We were in Hollidavsbnrg a few days since and happening to mect the editor of the Whig, he jocularly, bur somewhat 'nervously, in sinuated that we were out there hunting np items (about him, he meant). Not bad, dint. The guilty are always suspicions. There is the place to get them, John. That’swonr home. The people know you there* We have no trouble in catching a few any time we want, and somc £ that will make the fat and fur iiy, too. No one knows this better than you, “J. B.” Rats.—A correspondent of Gardener’s Monthly, says: “I tried■ the effect of introducing into the entrance of their holes, runs or hiding place, a small piece of chlorine of lime, or bleaching pow der, wrapped in calico, and stuffed into the en trance boles, and thrown loose by the spoonful into the drain from the house. This drove them awav for a twelve month, when they returned to it.— , The . v w ere again treated in the same manner, with like effect. The cure was most complete. I pre snme it was the chlorine gas Which did not agree with their olfactories." It Won't Take.—The editor of the Whig is trying to put mischief in the head of a candidate on this side of the county, by insinuating that the gentleman who haunts the Whig man in his sleep, is secretly Working against the said candidate.— That’s one of your old dodges, Johnny, but. it don’t take this time. That dodge is played out. You must go farther from home when you wish to make capital in this manner. Bosh ! Peterson's Ladies National Magazine for April has been on our table for a couple of weeks, but while we have neglected to notice it editorially our better-half and all the household have not ne glected to read its contents, admire its engravings and discuss its fashion plates, patterns; &c. Pe terson gets up a good magazine for the small sum of $2. Even- lady who can afford it should have this magazine. Dims. J. Peterson, Philadelphia. Appeal.—The County Commissioners will hold a Court of Appeal for this Borough, at the Logan House, on Thursday, April 10th, at which time and place all those who, consider their valuations a figure too high to be taxed (but not to sell) can attend and have it reduced, or be prepared to pay their quota of tax, ns now assessed, when the tax gatherer comes around. Quarterly Meeting.—The first quarterly meet ing for this station, for the present conference year, will commence in the Methodist Church on Sat urday evening next. Rev. G. D. Chenowith, Presiding Elder, and Rev. Wakefield, member of the Legislature, will assist in the exercises of the occasion. Andrew J. Dripps, formerly of Holiidays burg, was killed at the battle of Pea Ridge, Ar kansas. He served as a private in the Mexican war, but at the time of his death was acting as Captain of n company from lowa. Tax- on Tonnage. From the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, of Sat urday last, we copy tlie following : The following joint resolutions upon the subject of a uniform tax upon tonnage were introduced into the Senate yesterday: “ Resolved, That our Senators in Congress be instructed and our Representatives requested to favor a uniform tax upon tonnage as one of the provisions of the general tax bill. “That if Congress shall fail to impose a general tax upon tonnage, the Commissioners to revise the tax laws of this State be requested to consider the expediency of imposing a uniform tax upon the tonnage of this State, to be applied exclusively to the liquidation of any debt heretofore contracted or hereafter to be contracted for the defence of tins State or the maintenance of, the National Union, such taxes to be so imposed as to afford every just discrimination in favor of Pennsylvania trade and interests ; and said Commissioners to report on the some to the next Legislature by bill or other wise.” The propositions contained in these resolutions commend themselves on account of their manifest fairness. The first proposition, it will be observed, recommends .that the General Government should impose a uniform' tax upon tonnage. The second proposition contemplates the imposition of such a tax by the State In case the Federal Government refuses to do so. The resolution proposes to treat all railroads and transportation companies in the State alike, without discriminating either for or against any—notselecting one to bear all the bur den of taxation and allowing all the rest to go free. One of the strongest arguments against the ton nage tax upon the Pennsylvania railroad as it ex isted prior to the commutation act of last session is, that it was a .partial and invidious discrimination against the greatest thoroughfare for trade and travel in the State. If tire policy of the State had been to collect revenue from trade and travel upon all the railroads in did Commonwealth, there would have been'no propriety in exempting the Pennsylvania company, or any other, from such -imposition; but as the policy of the State was just the reverse of this, it looked like narrow prejudice, or unjust discrimination, to select this road to bear all the burden of taxation, which should justly have been distributed among the various compa nies incorporated by the State. In ordinary times a tax upon tonnage cannot be justified, but when public necessity demands ex traofdinaty sources of revenue, and when no in terest or class in the Commonwealth ought to es cape its just share of taxation, the railroad and transporting companies are fairly liable to. the pay ment of tonnage duties. Both the friends and the enemies of the tax on the Pennsylvania railroad can meet on this common ground, and wo trust that the Legislature will be induced to give a fa vorable consideration to this proposition. Dash on Union City, Tenn. Chicago April 1. [Special to: the Journal from Cairo.] Col. Buford yesterday, accompanied by Twenty seventh and Forty-second Illinois, and part of the Fifteenth Wisconsin, from Island No. 10, with a detachment 6f cavalry and artillery from Hick man, tinder Col. Hegc, made a descent upon Union city, and aftet a forced march of thirty, miles fell upon the rebel encampment at seven o’clock in the morning and dispersed the entire force stationed there under Clay and King, both cavalry and in fantry. They fled in every direction. Several of the enemy were killed, and a number taken prisoners. , A large amount of spoils were captured, including one hundred and fifty horses, commissary ahd quartermaster's stores, &c. Our loss is one man kified from the explosion in a burn ing tent. The rebel force numbered seven hun dred .infantry, and .between seven and eight hun dred cavalry. The Baltimore ash Ohio Rail Road.—A Baltimore dispatch dated March 31st, says that the last rail completing the. track of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail Road, wps laid ten miles West of Harper's Ferry, on Saturday night, March 29th, since which time four hundred loaded cars have passed through the lately-disturbed district. East and West. Nearly two hundred can of West ern produce, loaded at the Ohio river last week, reached Baltimoreito-day, being the first since last April. The first through passenger train leaves Hiitimore to-morrow morning, direct for Wheeling.

Colonel Magoffin, condemned to be shot for violating his parole fat Missouri, is a brother of Gqv. Magoffin, of Kentucky. It is so muddy at Cairo that the soldiers call the soil which adheres to their boots, “ bounty land” which they have “drawn.” <3* We still have a little room left in our pocket for the dollars owing ns by our subscribers.

GTSomebody has said that “We ought always to believe less than we arc told.”. This may be a safe maxim for general use, but when a woman entrusts you —in confidence, of coarse—with her age, you may always believe, a great deal more than vou are told. £3* There is much sickness among the rebel prisoners near Chicago. No less than three hun dred patients are now lying ill in the hospital, many of them without hopes of recovery. The sudden change of climate to which they have been subject lias proven to severe. <3* The tone and spirit of the present intercourse with France and England is such that President Lincoln has no fears wliatever of any inteference with our blockade either by word or deed. Our Government will be left to suppress the rebellion in its own way and proper time. The foreign minis ters are now unmistakably Union men. Such is the prestige of success. The Government has learned, through par ties under arrest for disloyalty, tlmt Gen. Beaure gard stated several w ; eeks ago that he should! never fight McClellan at Manassas, but that his plan would be to draw our army os far into the centre of the Southern country as possible, and cut off the retreat. “ /Vc-haps.” gy Nearly every member of Congress, apd five hundred and twenty-one field officers, have peti tioned the Secretary of War to grant a butter ra tion to the soldiers. It is said that the ration will be granted. We fear the soldiers will not prize it much when they get it. Rancid butter will!be no great treat, and fresh butter will be difficult to get. The reported • escape of the steamer -Nash ville from Beaufort, N.C., is iffitch to be regretted. But as it is believed that she was heavily goaded with cotton, she will probably seek rather to de liver it safely in England, or at some port from which it can be safely transhipped to England, than to prey upon our commerce. It is scarcely possible she will ever again attempt to return to our coast, as the “ rat holes ” have nearly all been effectually closed up. As Ingenious Yankee.—A few days ago the government detectives found that an ingenious Yankee was printing a large amount of Rebel Treasury notes, of different amounts, mostlyi how ever, of large denominations. They arranged a time and made a descent upod the “ Yank,’i when he was surrounded by oil his confederates, papers, &c. -He seemed surprised at the appearance of the officers, but quietly went with them. He said he was engaged in crippling the UeM Treasury and thought it very strange 1 he should be molested, as he thought that was . their “ weakest point.” “How is this?” asked the astonished officer. “You see,” said the “Yank,” these are better than the orignal article; the originals are worthless; they are unauthorised by law.; bo I am not coun terfeiting. I have not attempted to pass them for money, and really cannot see : how I am doing wrong.” “Ah!” said the detective, “of course you were not going to pass them; but von are going to furnish them to the enemy." The “Yank" then owned up that ho was sending them dorwn to flood the South, and destroy the confidence of the people, when they suddenly found the whole coun try flooded with a spurious issue, and their only circulation rendered worthless. An investigation showed that he had really sent several hundred thousand dollars, through the South, via Tennes see, and sold them at from thirty to fifty cents on the dollar. The case was duly reported to Secre tary Seward, the whole apparatus seized, and the man allowed to go on his parole for the present.— The Secretary frankly admitted that this is the toughest case ho has had during the war, and he forthwith turned it over to the Secretary of War, who has not yet concluded what to do with the case. Pbenticiana.— lt affords Prentice, of the Louis ville Journal , peculiar delight to get ojff witicims at the expense of the rebels. Here are a few of his latest:— Let a man turn rebel, and all other crimes will come easy to him. The rebels are everywheire fleeing in a panic. The devil take the hindmost—and die foremost. Curtis has driven Price out of Missouri and is driving him out of Arkansas. “No blame is at tached to the driver.” We think that the Monitor has a fair claim to Ae title so long and so prond worn by the frigate Constitution—“ Old Ironsides.” The rebels have inode a great many infernal ma chines that won’t explode. Their rebellion iff an infernal machine that will. * It seems singular that the tierce flame in the bosomes of some of our charming rebel women does not set their cotton on fire. , The rebels compare the Monitor to an enormous chccsoTKjx on a plank. We don’t think they will nibble much more around it, Wheft Slidell was arrested on the Trent he mad© what seemed a desperate ofibrt to throw himself into the sea through a hole not half so large as his body. But, says Prentice, herfmps he felt «m a n enough to crawl through any hole. Concession op the Pittsburgh Mortars.— A Pittsburgher on one of the mortar boats on the Mississippi gives the following account of the ef fects of- the firing:. “To.give you an idea of the concussjon cooked by the discharge of the mortars, I will tell yon the effect ‘it had on some things of my own. I had all my clothes in a strong box, placed in the hold of die mortar-boat. After two or three discharges of the mortar, the box was shattered to pieces and my clothes scattered over the hold. It oven broke the straps of my knap sack, and scattered the contents. My cap was blown overboard and lost. The windows of a tug boat a quarter of a mile distant were broken.— As for the effect on myself, it made me almost as deaf as a post, and I feel a continual ringing in my ears.” ; ■ $3“ In Warren Coiinty, New York, there lives a man upwards of 50 years old who never saw a canal boot, steamboat or rail car; never rode in a stage coach, never was but 16 miles from home, owns a large, well-stocked form, never was sick but once in his life, never need tobacce, never owned lint two books—a Bible and an almanac; never took a newspaper, never sent or received a letter through the post office, cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson in 1832, and has voted the Jack son ticket ever since. Not more than one or two plates ever adorn his table. He. conforms to the customs that prevailed when he was bom, never gets in debt, is an honest man, and minds his own business.; , Fight in Missodbi.—A dispatch dated St. Louis March 31st, says that on the night of the 26th ult., between 500 and 800 rebels attacked four companies of the Slate Militia, at Hunmaiuville, Polk county, and after a sharp fight were defeated, with a loss of 15 killed and a large number woun ded. The Federal* had several wounded but none killed. : A Few Words to Cash Buyers.—The “Pan ic Store” being the only one in this section of the State that sells exclusively for cash, and at cash prices, the proprietor wishes to impress a lew tacts and figures upon the-minds of cash buyers: Ist; That he has bnt one price on his goods, and that price only five per cent, advance on cost. 2d, That by doing a strictly cash business he can and. does sell cheaper than any house which does a credit,; because, Ist, parties buying at a credit store, even though they pay cash for theff purchases,, pay. credit prices, for the reason; that the proprietors of credit stores are afraid to sell to cash customers at lower figures than they do to their credit customers, lest their credit customers should find it out and withdraw their patronage; and, because 2d, by selling for cash only he! gets no bad accounts on his books and loses no money) consequently he is not compelled to tax paying customers to make up his losses on non-paying ones. __ : ' 3d.
