Pictorial Envelopes. —The rage for envelope?, decorate! with patriotic and humorous embellish es, is subsiding. For a time, about a year it was impossible to supply the demand. The patriotism of thet person indicting an epistle was intended to be conveyed to the mind of the recipi ent (if it was 1101 expressed in words in the com-: munication,) by the national or patriotic embel lishment on the envelope containing it. Donbt- die originators of the engravings made a “nice of it at first, but the competition soon be canic so great, that the getting up of new designs no longer paid. People are again returning to the plain envelopes, and letters now travel jwithout the Lection of a flag, and portraits of distinguished personages cease to occupy the comer opposite this physiognomy of Washington. The U. S. Mail tap, that curious speculators have accumulated a grea t variety of specimens of these illustrated en velopes, and the time will doubtless come when .such collections will be' examined with the utmost: interest by antiquarians desirous of getting a ; glimpse of the feelings and humors of our times,; ' as they were displayed during the great civil war of our Western continent. What a remarkable jnmble of patriotism, sentiment, humour and am-: mostly does such a collection present! Old let ters are valued, not only for the memory of their writers, but for. the historical and biographical; matter which they contain. And even envelopes,: their dry husks, which enclosed a precious kernel,; become themselves fresh with vitality when they; hear upo n dteir' f<“*s mar * c - s °f l^e f ec '' D B 8 of a ; great nation. The modem writers of history,: with more comprehensive views than many of their predecessors, do not regard the life of a na tion as consisting entirely in the intrigues of its rulers and their struggles for power, but consider: the doings of the people in their various relations,: domestic, commercial, and the like, as of equal: importance to the completion of the record. . A Sign of Progress. —An exchange well re-, marks that a man need not live long in a town to: discover who are its comprising jand successful merchants and business men. Let him come into a place a perfect stranger, and shut himself out from all society except the society of the newspa pers, and, as a rule, he can gain as accurate a knowledge of its business men as a six months’ residence ordinarily gives others. The reason is plain—your sharp business man always advertises. He judges rightly that if a “sign” is necessary oh which his name and business are to be emblazoned, which only the few persons who happen to see it will read, much more is his sign needed in the newspapers, which are seen and read by. the whole population. What narrow-minded enter prise to hurry to put up “a shingle,” which notone passer in a hundred reads, and to orait advertising. No sign, no customers; little sign, little custom;' great deal of advertising, great deal of custom and profits. Advertising costs, but it comes back again —nothing surer. If you doubt it, ask Bamum.— Ask thousands of men who have made fortunes byj spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for prin ter’s ink. . Building.—lf any of our readers wish to be’ convinced that old “bard times” has not visited' Altoona this spring, let him take a stroll around; town and count the number of new buildings in course of erection and foundations being excavated. :. We have not taken time to count them, but we know that we are within the number when we say that workmen are now engaged on twenty-five newi buildings—a prdtty good sized town. Besides; individual enterprises, the Kail Bead Compa ny has made, and is about to make, important improvement in and about its works. A new paint shop, 160 feet long by 30 wide, has been put up, inside of their line on Branch street, and neatly painted. The Car Shed which formerly run par allel with Main street, below Annie, has been ta ken down to give room to increase the talf round house, at the East end of the works, to a full circle. The car shed is about being put up on Branch street, below Annie,', and will be an improvement to the appearance of that street. The Pictorials.—The pictorials for this week, just received at FettingePs Oak Hall, are particu larly interesting. Frank Leslie gives engravings of the surrender of 5,000 rebels at Island No. 10, the advance of the army toward Yoiktown, the liombardment of Fort Pulaski, a scene at Pitts burg Landing, on Sunday afternoon, just before the arrival of Nelson’s Division, the Union army under Gen. Pope crossing the Mississippi below No. 10. Harper’s Weekly contains portraits of the. heroes of the battle of Pittsburg Landing, scenes around Yorktown, 3d Vermont Regiment storming the rebel battery at Lee’s Mills, Island No. 10 af ter the surrender, bombardment of Fort Pulaski, Gen. Buell’s,.army crossing Duck River, scenes around Fortress Monroe, &c. Laughable comic illustrations ip both papers. Can be had at Fet’s at any time. , Go to Thompson's.—As this is the season of the year when ladies and gents look out for light hoots and shoes to take the place of the heavy ar ticles they have worn during the winter, we wish to whisper in their ears a fact well known to many, ' lz: that Mr. Thompson, the-Boot and Shoe man, in ‘•Brant’s Row,” three doors below the Post Of fice, has just received bis spring stock, embracing u greater variety than can be found elsewhere in the town. He gives his attention to this line of business exclusively, and buys stock, not merely to sell, but to give satisfaction and keep up the imputation of his house. He buys hone but the best manufacture, and seljgat the most reasonable Work made to order, on short notice, and ■mpairing neatly executed. Call on Thompson.

Yonknpw that we are on the eve of a tremendous fight and glorious victory, or the humiliating surrender of the rebels at York town; and also, that Gen. Halleck is about to push, or has pushed, the notoriejns Beauregard and his followers out of Comitb; but do not let these things excite' yon. Stop!-and think, and, while thinking, just step in andexamine the beautiful assortment of goods just received by;J. & J. Lowther. For the ladies, their stock is hard to “take down” —it “ can’t be did.? "Call and see for yourselves. ' ■ ' k One of the most amusing things connected ' with the war is the number and oddifjr of the new terms winch it is bringing; into use. Two of these beat the dictionary, all hollow! These are the verb “skedaddle,’' to run away, Pow as commonly used to signify the act of running’"away, as if it had been used by Johnson and adopted liy Webster— and the noun “shenanigan,? used on the Western coast, almost universally, to signify secession hum bug and trickery. We shall have a pleasant vo cabulary for Europeans to study, one of these days. , CTTbe cars which- were burned in this neigh borhood, a few days since, weare pleased to state, did not contain any of the new goods recently pur chased by Murphy & McPike. Their stock ar rived safely, and is now on- exhibition and sale at their establishment, at the old stand. From the appearance of their pile, they must intend to sup ply this entire region. Call and sec them before the prettiest are culled out, though in fact they are all pretty. Personal. —Mr. J. Todd Hutchinson, publisher of the Ebensbnrg Alleghenian, paid us a pop visit, a short time since, to see “ qtir show.” He looks like a printer who lived well, in a healthy region, and, like all printers, is a clever fellow. Oar neighbor of the Standard was .with us on Friday last, also to see “ onr show.” Trough prints a live paper and a neat one, and deserves the patronage he receives from his party. Call again, neighbors. Dan Langhman has branched out exten sively this spring. He' has received such a large stock of ready-made clothing, for men and boys, that his counters and shelves will, scarce contain them. Everybody can be; siuied at Dan’s estab lishment, either in color, cut, quality dr price.— And by the way, he has a tip top assortment of ci gars and tobacco, and numerous styles of those beautiful pipes. Shirts, collars, handkerchiefs, &c., invariety. Se his advertisements. Jesse Smith. —Well, what about Jesse Smith? Well; we might say considerable about him, but it it not our purpose to do so at present. Like other men, be has his faults, bat we will not particular ize them, lest he should walk into us, and in that event be might get hurt. What we intended to say about him was that be ' has just received his spring and summer supply of hats and caps, mis ses flats, &c. Puzzle. — A and B went to market with 30 pigs each. A sold his at 2 for $l, and Bat the rote of 3 for $l, together receiving $25. The next day A went to market alone with 60 pigs, and, wish ing to sell at the same rate, sold them at 5 for $2, and received only $24. Why should he not re ceive as much as when B owned half of the pigs ? Cabßurned. —On Friday evening last, a truck loaded with coal oil caught fire while coming down the mountain, and was entirely consumed. By speedily shifting the train, at the head of the yard, the fire was prevented from communicating to any of the other cars. It raised considerable smoke, and horned for two or three hours. Railroad Dividend. —Asemi-annual dividend of fonr per cent, on the capital stock of the Penn sylvania railroad is announced. It will be payable to the stockholders on the' 15th of this month.— The stock of this road is now selling, at forty-five, and the first mortgage bonds at sloo^.

Roush, Druggist, has just received a large and complete assortment of D. Landreth & Son’s Garden Seeds. Also, a good stock of sweet briar pipes, and a su perior quality of smoking tobacco, which he will dispose of at the lowest rates. Give him a call.

Fortress Monroe, April 27. To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War; .: , I A fugitive black, just arrived from Portsmouth, brings the Petersburg Express of yesterday, which contains the following despatch: Mobile, April 25.—The enemy passed Fort Jackson at 4 o’clock yesterday morning. When the news reached New Orleans the excitement was boundless. Martial law was put in full force, and business was completely suspended. All the cot ton and steamboats, excepting such as were nec essary to transport coin, ammunition, &c., were destroyed. At one o’clock; to-day the telegraph operators bade us good bye, saying that the enemy had ap peared before die city. This is the last we know regarding the fall.; We will send you the partic ulars ns soon as they can be bad. The negro bringing the above reports says that the rebels have two iron-clad steamers nearly com pleted at Norfolk, and that it is believed that the Merriinac will be out to-morrow. JOHN E. WOOL. The Report Confirmed. Headquartbbb, Rappahannock, April 27, To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War; I.bave just returned from the camp opposite Fredericksburg. I was told that the Richmond Examiner , of the 26th, had been received in town, announcing as follows; “New Orleans Taken—Great Destruction of Property, Cotton, and Steamboats—Enonyh Steam boats Saved to Carry Away the Ammunition—Great Consternation of the inhabitants." IRVIN, McDOWELL, Major General. Evacuation of the Florida Forts ' New York, April 28. The rebel steamer Florida, has been captured bv the U. S. bark Pursuit. Fort Barancoss and Mcßae had been abandoned bv the rebels. The Connecticut brought eight ex-members ol th||palveston artillery, who escaped from impress ment ; also four refugees from Tampa Bav. Every port except Tampa on the coast of Flori da had been evacuated bv the rebels. The slops of war Richmond, Hartford, Brook lyn, and Iroquis, were plated with heavy chain ca ble, from their ports to a point below the water line, previous to commencing the attack on the Mississippi forts. The captain of the French war steamer Milan, visited Fort Jackson under a flag of truce, with the view of assisting the French residents of New Orleans, who might desire to get out of the way of the impending battle. He was seized by the rebels and imprisoned over night, but on the nexfc day they released him. He returned to the vessel greatly enraged at the indignity. Skirmish with Ashby’s Cavalry. Harrisonburg, Va., April 27.—Yesterday af ternoon the pickets of Colonel Donnelly’s brigade, stationed eight miles hence, on the Gordoiiville road, were attacked by a large force of Col. Ash by’s rear guard, and driven back. One man, named Isaac Seeliey, of the 46th Pennsylvania regiment, was killed, and three others were .wounded. The reserve of the 46th Pennsylvania regiment and a section of Hampton’s battery then advanced and repulsed the Rebels. They retreated to a wood where several of our shells bursted in their very midst. A wagon was seen gathering up and car rying off their dead and wounded. Owing to the horrible state of the roads between this town and Col. Donnelly’s encampment, and the impossibility of forwarding him supplies, he has been ordered to take up a new position nearer the town, until the rdads are in Letter condition. Jackson's main body is encamped near the east bank of the Shenandoah bridge, over the river, and strongly picketed. Beauregard Reported to be Evacua ting Corinth. A special dispatch from Cairo to the Times says that passengers from Pitshurgh report that on Thursday over thirty deserters from die rebel army entered our camps and begged to be enrolled among our troops. They all the statements received the day before relative to the evacuation by the rebels of their present position. It is asserted that Beau regard had withdrawn a considerable portion of his forces for the defence of Memphis. Excitement at Norfolk Fortress Mooroe, April 27. It is stated by jthe contrabands who arrived here with the news of; the fall of New Orleans that the most intense excitement exists around Norfolk, and that the people there were in great fear of an attack by Gen Burnside. All the rebel troops sta tioned there had’gone to South Mills to repel any advance he might make. Many citizens were leaving Norfolk for a place of refuge. The fall of New Orleans was conceded by every one. | The contrabands also state that the new prow of the Mcrrimac is twelve feet long, and made of wrought iron steel pointed. Sharp Shootiso.—A rebel officer, who had constructed a shot-proof watch-house, mounted it upon the ramparts of one of the fortifications of the enemy, and islanding in it, he determined to prove its impenetrability, and make a reconnoi sance of the Federal position at the same time. He had scarcely arranged paper for taking a few cool notes, before the little block-house was pierced with a hundred or more spherical rifle bullets, several entering the body of the rebel oc cupant and inflicting mortal wohnds. The un fortunate man stepped, staggering, from his hiding place, turning the guard-box oyer the ramparts.— He rpaintained his balance hiut a moment, and then fell heavily behind the works upon the block house, like a military criminal upon his coffin. Col. Willicb’s German Begiment. —Colonel Willich; .says the Indiana Journal, who from the time his regiment was organized and ready for service, panted for an engagement, and who felt somewhat disappointed that he did not participate in the fight at Mnnfordsville,'in which his regi ment won their first laurels, behaved with the greatest gallantry at Pittsburg, as did his regiment. He received a painful wound in his breast, but re fused to leave .the field, cheering on his men until the rebels were driven back. At a dinner party on the steamer Bowen, the old veteran, in com menting on the severity of the battle, remarked, “That was schust as hard fighting as I want.” Commtttino Suicide with a Cannon.— The Cologne Gazette states that a SergeaUt of Artillery, in garrison in that city, having been crossed in love, decided to put an end to his existence, adopt ing the use of-, a rather unusual weapon—a field piece—for that purpose. Not having a regular gun cartridge! he filled his tobacco pouch with powder, and put it into the gun, and then placed the shot above it. He next lighted apiece of Ger man tinder, which he put into the touch hole; and then stood quietly at the mouth of the gun, until, the charge went off, and killed him on the instant. A Southern Speculation.— The Nashville Dispatch, of the 24th, says of speculators in cotton and Confederate funds, in Middle Tennessee: “ Speculators we buying up the cotton that is for sale, and paying for it in Southern funds, and then shipping it to the Northern and Eastern markets, they re-sell it at high figures, and get paid in speiae or United States Treasury notes, with which they buy up Southern funds at a discount of thirty to forty per cent. This is a game that works both ways, ami affords a wide margin for profit." To the Public !—An experience of six months has fully convinced me that the cash is the best, both for merchant and consumer. It ena bles the merchant to sell at one-half less profit and make more clear money, with less trouble than he can by selling on credit; and the reason is ob vious—he gets the money down for everything he wants to sell, and has the use of it immediately.— The consumer also saves by buying for cash, be cause he gets his merchandise at from 35 to 50 per cent.,below what he would have to pay if he bought on credit, or even if he bought at a store which sells on credit. The credit business always loses a certain per centage, which must be made up from cash or prompt monthly payers, I am determined to' do nothing but a CASH BUSINESS, and have but ONE PRICE for my Goods. I have just returned from the cities of New York and Philadelphia with the 1/ayest and cheapest as sortment of Goods ever brouyht to Altoona. I would first invite attention to my complete selec tion of DRY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks, Block Silks, Ducals, Reps, Foulards, Schallies, Delaines, 1 Poplins, Debeges, Ginghams, Cambrics, Prints, Brown and Bleached Muslins, Tickings, Checks, Linens, Table Napkins, Table Diapers, Gloves, Hosiery, Also, a fine stock of Cassi meres, Cottonades, Jeans, &c., for men and boys. A splendid assortment of Boots and Shoes, for ladies, misses, men and boys. A great variety of CAIIPETS, ranging in price from 12J cents upward. Oil-Cloths of different patterns and prices. Window-Shades, of all styles. Children’s WAGONS, from $3.25 upwards. Spring Wagons only $4.25. Wall Palter and Bordering—a large and entirely new selection, embracing the latest and most beaul tiful styles of Paper for Halls, Parlors, Offices, Bed-Rooms; &c., ranging in price from 5 cents per bolt, upwards/ GROCERIES.—My stock of Groceries is un surpassed, being entirely fresh.. Best Syrup Mo lasses, only 60 cents per gallon; 2d class only 50 cents. Sugars at 9, 10, 11 and 11J cents per lb. Coffee, Uca, Spices, Salt, Fish, Soap, Candles, and everything in that line, at Cash Prices. In the QUEENSWARE line, I have the lar gest stock in town: Wedgewood’s celebrated Iron-Stone Tea'Sets, forty-six pieces, only $3.87, China Sets complete, only $12.00. Chamber Sets, from $1.25 upward. In the way of GLASSWARE, I have everything mentiouable, such as Fruit Stands, Coke Stands, Jelly Dishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers, &c., &c. I would respectfully invite the public to call and examine my stock before purchasing elsewhere, as I feel confident that I can.convince them that it is cheaper to buy for cash than ok credit; and also, that my stock is worth an examination. Yankee Courage.—The Quebec ifercury ad monishes the Canadians to take a .lesson from the bull dog spirit which is .manifested by the Yankees in the present struggle. It says the ridicule of Bull Run, which would have crushed a more deli cate race, seems to have had no effect but to de termine the Northern people to try again. Waste Paper.—The waste paper of the Eng lish Government offices, which is collected and sold by the stationeiy office, produced above $35,- 000 last year, and it is expected to bring nearly the same sum this year. . This is independent of the “blue books” printed, but not read, which, af ter the lapse of a certain time, are disposed of as waste paper. On the 24th alt., by Ecv. A. B. Clark, Lient. JOHN 8.
