X3ST ALTOONA,
On Saturday Even’g, July 26th.

Shoemaker’s store, in the Masonic Temple, on
Tuesday afternoon, to take action in reference to
holding a.Grand Mass War Meeting in this place,
on Saturday evening next, Julv 26th.
On motion, Dr. Wm. R. Findley was tilled to

pointed Secretaries. , ;•
On motion, a committee of nine, consisting of
Messrs. C. J. Mann, D. Laughmah, John Shoe
maker, Geq. W. Patton, Geo. W. Kessler, James
Lumber, John. F. Bowman, James L. Gwin and
Jus. G. Adlura, was appointed to invite speakers
lur the occasion and draft a poster to be printed
and circulated throughout the country.
On motion, a committee of five, consisting of
.Messrs. C. R. Hostetter, A. A. Smyth, John Woods,
6. F. Rose and Geo. W. Sparks, was appointed to

*eats for the accommodation of the ladies.
On motion, a committee of seven, consisting of
■Messrs. Wm. H. Wilson, E. B. McCrum, Dr: J.
M. Gcmmill, Ralph Greenwood, B. F. Custer D.
J. Neff and S, M. Wpodkok, was appointed a
mittee to draft a series of resolutions expressive of
Ihc senpe of die people of this locality, to be pre
wmed for adoption by the moss meeting.*
On motion, tlie hour of seven o'clock was fixed
upon for the assembling of the meeting on Satur
day evening.
At the time we go to press we have not been
furnished with the programme of the Mass Meet
ing, the time, since the holding of the preliminaiy
meeting, being too short to have, everything com
pleted. Posters will be issued to-day containing
particulars.
We may say, however, that the committee to
invite speakers have received favorable raphes from
Hon. S. Calvin, of HolUdaysburg, John Scott,
Hsq., of Huntingdon, Hon. L. W. Hall and D. J.,
Neff, S. M. Woodkok and L. M. Stewart, Esqs.,
lad Kcvs.; Clark, Ehrenfeld, Kephart, Spotswpod,
Sembower and Tuigg, of this place. They are also
in correspondence with Hon. John C. Kunkel, of
Harrisburg, and from intimations given out by Gov.
f artin, it is thought he will be present.
The meeting will be held in front of the Post
Office, and seats for the accommodation of the la
ilies will be placed on the sidewalk opposite.
The Altoona Brass Band will be in attendance
and enliven the occasion by performing National
am, and we confidently "femect that a large glee
dub, accompanied by String Band, will
cheer the audience by singing patriotic gongs. ’
Everything which can will be' done by the com
mittees to make this a -grand exhibition of ,the
patriotism of the people of this section of the loyal
id Keystone. Business men, desert your coun
ters and desks; mechanics, drop your toolsfarm

the struggle in which the Nation is now engaged,

ut ) in the field, and in taking care of the families

Eot, Higgins’ Buhkent.— We learn from Col.
ffiins that he has now eight companies under
for his regiment, and confidently expects to
* among, the first in the field under the new re
vpuition. Odr acquaintance with the Colonel has
® to form a high opinion of him as a man and
officer. We.know him to be strict in
, e of bis own duties, and requiring
1 same of his men. Strictness leads to perfec-
' a m iHtary drill, and this is all the better for
a soldier. Having seen actual service, and been
. ® re * n the Mexican war, he has a knowledge

PRINTED ON
AT 7. O’CLOCK.
At Home.— -Rev, R. W. Oliver, Hector of St.
Luke’s Episcopal Church, in this place, who went
out as chaplain to the the 81st Pa. Bog., and now
occupies the position of brigade chaplain, in Gen.
Conch’s division, was at home two days during the
past week, on bosincge. He looks hearty and re
ports affiurs in a fevorable condition on the James
River. He filled his .pulpit in his church on Sun
day morning and etfining. Previous to entering
upon his evening bdiiwpone, be briefly referred to
the late six days engagement before Richmond, for
the purpose of relieving himself; as far as possible,
from the necessity of having to repeat his account
of what he had seen, and his view of affairs, to
his friends singly. Baring the entire engagement,
and in fact in all the engagements on the Peninsn
la, he occupied the position of a Major, on Gen.
Cinch’s staff, and thus had a good opportunity to
witness the battle scenes.
He stagd that it was impossible to correctly por
tray, or imagine, the scenes on a field of battle.—
Althoughj he h “ d b ® en i in the midst of them they
now passed before his mind’s eye more likeadream
than a reality. The excitement of the occasion
prevents the participant from fixing his eye or mind
on one particular locality or scene,, while all thought
of self-preservation is forgotten by the true soldier.
In reference to the surgeons in the armv, he said
that there were many who were a disgrace to that
noble'profession. Wh'ile some of the surgeons la
bored night and day, without rest, in ministering
to the suffering soldiers, there were others devoid
of the common feelings of humanity, who, when
he entreated them, would not leave their regiments
to attend the wants of a wounded or dying soldier,
and would not attend to their own os they should*
He said he ; could and would give the names of
those derelict in their duty, and he mentioned the
matter for the purpose of awakening the public
mind to a sense of the fealful want in this respect.
All of us can realize the importance of having
good surgeons in the army, and we think a knowl
edge of such inhuman conduct should .raise such a
storm about the ears of the Surgeon General, or
whoever has the appointing power, os would cause
him quickly to rid the 'army of these .more than
contemptible quacks, who sought positions in the
frmy because they could.not moke a living by fol
lowing their profession at home, and who care for
nothing but the salaiy they draw. The lives of
many of the noble men in the army demand that
this crying evil should be remedied. Put them
out! In the name of humanity,' put them out!
He alluded to the confidence which the entire
army, officers and privates, placed in their uoble
commander-in-chief; Gep. McClellan, and depre
cated the manner in . which his plans had been
interfered with, and that, had he been permitted
to cany out his programme the war might now be
at an end. He reported the army ns rapidly in
creasing in healthfulness, vigor and spirits. There
was no grumbling or despairing of success among
the soldiers. That Was the business of men out
side of; and away from, the army, and the further
away the worse. Ihere was more complaining
and despairing in Philadelphia than in Washing
ton, and more here than in Philadelphia. Coming
from such a source we regard these assertions as
entirely correct, and hope that they will have the
effect to cause the grumblers and croakers in this
region to follow' the example of frog ponds at this
season and “dry up.”
•’ ' 1
He spoke of the complaints lodged against Gen.
McClellan for keeping his amy in the swamps be
fore Richmond, and excused that action by.stating
that outside of the present position of the army
there was little else than swamps, between the York
and James Rivers, all the -way to Richmond, and
that the best positions to be found had at all times
been given the men. Persons away from the ar
my might criticise the General’s actions, but those
who were with him on the gr%pnd were likelv to
know best, and so long as they had no complaints
to make, others had no cause to do so.
We hope the answers given by Mr. Oliver to
the critics of the day will hare a righteous effect.
and that this eternal (we had almost said infernal)
fault-finding by stay-at-home pjjtripts (?) will cease,
at least in this locality; or, if they cannot resist
their propensity to grumble, let them take their
places in the front ranks Of the Army of the Po
tomac and teach Gen. McClellan bis duty and give
him instructions military tactics.
The Wat to Dp IT,— At a Mass War Meet
ing held in Harrisburg a few evenings since, it was
announced that a subscription paper had been placed
on the Secretary’s desk, to wljich men were ap
pending their names arid placing opposite the
amount of money they were willing to contribute
to a fund to be given as a bounty, to volunteers
under the new call. Quite a rush was made to
the desk, and on footing up the amount, at the
close of the meeting, it was found that near $9,000
had been subscribed. There is now some induce
ment for men to enlist in Dauphin county, and we
wish to offer the same inducement to men in Al
toona. We propose that at the meeting on Satur
day evening a subscription paper be placed on the
Secretary's desk, and that every man who is able 1
to give anything, and who does pot wish to go to
war, will come forward and contribute to a fond
for the support of the families of men who volun-,
teer from this place. Can anything be more reason
able than this? All men have the same interest in
the preservation of the Union, and while some are
offering their lives in its defence, should not those
who remain at home contribute of their means to
secure the comfort of the families of those who go
to war. Consider the matter, gentlemen, and be
ready on Saturday evening to niake a sacrifice of
your luxuries for the cause of your country, in
order that yon may reward those who are offering
to sacrifice their lives. The greatest sacrifice yon
can make in money will not be equal to theirs.
Pkomoted. —lt is with pleasure we announce
that the President has appointed Col. C. Pager
Jackson, of the 9th Penna. Beserves, a Brigadier
General. Coi. Jackson is well to most of
oar citizens, having for a number of years occu
pied the position of conductor on the Wlstern Di
vision, P. B. B. When the war broke out he re
cruited a company in Pittsburgh, and was after
wards, on the organization of the 9th Reserve Reg
iment, elected its Colonel. He possesses alb the
necessary military qualifications for the position.
Personal.— The friends of George B. Cruder,
Esq., and there are many in this place, were grati
fied on receiving a visit from him a few days since.
,His new position evidehtlyagrees with him, if we
may judge from his improved appearance in health.
Perhaps he gets better living down there about the
dty tban hedid uphere. Be that as it may, we
know that he treats hit friends most hospitably
when they call on hit#.

A Nobllo Proposition. —We were informed a
few evenings since, that a proposition has been
made among the road employees, on the Penn’a
Rail Road, tp contribute one day’s pay in each
month toward a fund to be appropriated as a bounty
to the volunteers from this State. It strikes us
that this is a noble proposition, and we should like
to hear of it becoming a general matter among the
employees of the road in every department. The
amount is so small and. the manner of paving so
easy that all could go into it. When we consider
that there are some six thousand men in the em
ploy of the company and that the average contri
bution of each man would be about $1.33, we have
a total of $B,OOO a month. Suppose ev
chanic in the state, who has steady employment
at the good wages now paid, should fall in with
the proposition of the road men, what an immense
fund could be raised. We hope to see the road
men carry out the proposition. It will reflect
honor upon them.
Altoona Company.— Capt. Jacob Szink is
now recruiting a company in this place for the
nine month’s service, and wishes to obtain imme
diately the requisite number of sound healthy men
to fill up the ranks. Capt. S. served in the three
month's service and is therefore perfectly posted in
military tactics, and what is equally important to
know, he was universally liked by the men under
him. Those of our young men who want to en
list cannot find a better officer into whose hands
to entrust themselves. He cares for his men, will
treat thent like men and see that they get the best
accommodations to be had. Fall in line, men,
under a man whom yon know. The Captain has
the prospqpt of speedily filling up his company,
but he wants good men.
Close Your Stores. —ln order that every
person may have an opportunity to attend the
Grand Mass War Meeting on Saturday evening
next, we suggest to the store-keepers, shop-keepers,
saloon-keeper?, atad keepers of all other places of
business; that they immediately post notices on
theif doors informing their customers that their
doors will positively be closed at 7 o’clock on said
evening. The public knowing this will attend to
making their purchases before that time, and
there will be no loss or disappointment to any one.
Act upon this, gentlemen, and encourage the
cause of yonr country by lending your presence
for a couple of hours at the Mass Meeting.
Resigned. —We are sorry to leant that Captain
James Cramer, the “model 1 ? conductor of the
Branch Train between this place and Hollidays
burg, has tendered his resignation of that position,
to take effect on the Ist of August. Jim has
been so long on that train that he appears like a
permanent institution of the Branch, and he will
be seriously missed by the travellers on that route.
No more whole-souled, gentlemanly type of man
can be found than he; and we but re-echo the
sentiment of all who knew him when we wish
hjpr abundant prosperity and long life in» whatever
business he may hereafter engage.
Glee Club for the Mass Meeting.—Ar
rangements are now being mode to form a Glee
Club to sing patriotic National aits at the Grand
Mass War Meeting, on Saturday evening. A
meeting for the purpose of practising will be held
in the Methodist Church this (Thursday) everting
and to-morrovy evening, to which all the singers in
the town are respectfully and urgently invited.—
The members of the choirs in the (Efferent
Churches are particularly requested to join in the
club. Mr. Bohler’s string band has been invited,
and Will join with tire club. Turn out, ladies and
gentlemen, and make this club what it should be.
When people get their names in the news
paper too often they are likely to obtain notoriety,
and the character of that notoriety depends upon
the circumstances connected with their names.—
Andy Clahapgh gets bis name in this paper pretty
Often, and: so he should, as people will then know
that he keeps a periodical, notion and confectionary
store in Brant's comer, where can be had the latest
daily, weekly mid monthly papers, etc.
