Ballast “ Little Blais.” —We feel prqnd of
•■Little Blair.” Her quota of troops under the
call for 800,000 volunteers was two companies, or
<>oo men. Has she came np to the work?; Let
tlie companies she is abont to send to the field tes
rifr. They are as follows:
Capt. F. M. Bell, of Tyrone, has recruited a
company of 101 men.
Col. Higgins has recruited a company;of 120
men at Williamsburg.
Oapts. Slink and Gardner, of Ihb place, will
have full companies thb evening.
Capt. John McKeage, of Hollidaysbnrg, will
liare his company full this evening, .
Capt. Crissman, of Martihsbnrg, is gcttingalong
lioely, and expects to have bis comyany foil
ike 10th of August.
Besides the above there arc a number of parts of
companies, in different places, which, if thrown to
getber. would form a seventh company; aid we
have, also, several officers recruiting for old regi
ments, among whom ore Capt. Hopkins, at Ty
rone, and Serg’t McConnell, at Newry. Captain
Hopkins is, we understand, getting along, very well.
The last named officers are recruiting three year
men, and they will get along faster after the nine
months men leave.
Taking the above calculation, we find that
'•Little Blair,” will, by Saturday, have furnished
100 or 500 men more than her share of the first
quota Of 300,000, and 200' or 300 more than her
quota under the last call for 300,000 malitia.—
Has any county done better under the last two
.alls dial did as well as Blair under the three years
vitll last summer. When the companies above re
ined to arc in (he field. Blair county will have
furnished between 1500 and 2000 men for the war,
a proportion almost equal to one-half of her voting
|>,pulation. If more men arc needed ahe has a
few more left who will not wait to be drafted.
This prompt action on the part of the patriotic men
of this county will save ii from the stigma of a draft,
It 1* certainly noi reasonable to suppose that, after
having furnished so many men over the amount
asked for, a draft will be made upon those that re
main. We have heard it argued that if a draft be
resorted to, to fill up either of the last calls, all
counties will he drawn from, irrespective, of the
number of nien they may have sent forward; We
think the fact that the Governor specified the
number of companies eath county was to furnish,
i< evidence sufficient to show that every county
must furnish its own quota,; whether by volunteers
or drafts, and that the county which does more
:ban its duty will not be called upon to make up
the deficiency of others. It would not be reasona
ble, or riglitj that Blair county, after having fur
nished 200 or 300 more then than her share, under
both calls, should be drawn from to make hp the
deficiency in Bedford county, should there be any,
*nd she will not be.
All the companies from this county leave for
Harrisburg, to-morrow morning.
Sf.cosd Mass Wae Meeting. —Pursuant to
notices conspicuously posted, a second miss war
meeting was held in front of the post office; in this
place, on Monday evening last. A previous en
gagement prevented onr being present at die open
ing of the meeting, bat we have been furnished
with the following list of the officers elected to
preside, viz.:

The meeting was ably addressed by Hon. Geo.

Holiert Johnson, Esq., of Ebens^urg.
\V c cannot particularize the addresses of thb
able pen who spoke on . this occasion, other than,
!o say that {hey were all excellent war speeches,
and calculated to arouse the patriotism of all who
kemd them. All appeared to centre on one point,
dial of volunteering at once, and so reinforcing onr
■may now the field that the Federal fortes may
af>am assume the offensive instead of acting on
! *‘ e defensive, and if we may judge from the man
nw in which recruits have since poured in to the
companies in this place, the meeting had the de
s“ed ctim. One of the speakers, Mr. Covode,
■ we think, advert to matters which, should not
' ieeß dragged before the public at this time.
*•' is not the time to go back to political issues
an d explain the cause of the- war, or indulge in
fimihations of this General or that one,- or cen
tre supposed mistakes. By so doing he-stirred
U P W feelings and weakened his otherwise natri

Tub ApbioaK “ Fourth.” —Agreeably to pre
vious announcement, the colored people of this
and adjacent towns, celebrated their “4th of July”
on the first day of August, instant—being the 24th
anniversary of the emancipation of Hayti. There
was a large gathering of colored folks, and they
seemed to enjoy themselves very much. After
partaking of a bountiful repast, Mr. John Thomas,
of Altoona, known to most of ojir' readers as a
person of rate conversational powers and nrbane
manners, having been loudly called upon for a
speech, advanced slowly from his “ position,” land
with some difficulty succeeded in climbing ujton the
table. Assuming an attitiule at once re spectfnl and
commanding, he si»ke, as nearly as we can recol
lect, as folia's
“ Gentlemen and Ladies: 1 appear before yon to
say something or udder on db ocasion. I am
proud to be able tahab de pleasure to speak to de
euliid population, in db be-e-untifnl grove. Dis is
de day to celebrate de liberation ob de cnllid popo
lation, sometime or udder, and sdme place on dis
hemisphere. Idon’t know ’zacfly the time and
place. [Applause.] But I know U was somewar."
[Here the speaker was interrupted by a colored
gentleman under the table, saying “how abont
Hayti ? Tell us about Hayti.”] The speaker re
suming indignantly : “I know nothin’ ’bout Hayti
—I don’t want to know nothin’ ’bgut Hayti. Dat
subjeck has nothin’ to do wid de mectin’. [Here
the applause was so deafening that the eloquent
gentleman was compelled for a time to desist.] —
Let de cnllid gemman come out from underdo ta
ble aud face John Thomas, face to face. [Cries
of “hit him again.”] De cnllid gemman am
afeared to come out. Resets under de table and
lafis and grins. He has a great ’eal ob larnin—
and John Thomas don’t know his ABC. But
ole John will scorch him if he comes out. VV7<o is
Hayti ? ffe is no cnllid gemman. -[Applause.]—
John Thomas is some war or udder in fifty or sixty
years ole, or npWards. I was at de bnrnin’ oh de
capital. I was at Bladensbnrg, when de scrim
mage was dare. Little did John Thomas think
den dat be woold lib till dis day to see dis big
scrimmage. I see de white bloods from Altoona
come out here, and—dey face John Thomas. But
de cnllid bloods dey git behind de trees an’ under
de table, and laff and grin—dey’s afeared to meet
(de John—and feared to make a speech. Where
is Daniel Williams ? Where is William Walton ?J
Where is William Nesbitt ? Echo answers—no
war! [Vociferous applause.] I will let Mr. Jeff.
Davis know dat John Thomas b ati.be. Gib-de
cnllid popolation gnns an’ammonition, an’dey will
fotch derebelists up a standing John Thomas
knows all tiout dese rebelbts, He used to lib in
New Orleans. Dem : was lably times. While de
white folks, is diwided de cullid folks is diwided,
too. Some ob de cnllid popolation go up to Wop
sononick to ’memorate dis day. Dey is Secession
ists. Dey b not de true bines. Dat is not de
way to put in db grea-at day. We is de syste
matical cnllid people. Before dey git through wid
db rebellion , dey will wish dey hadn’t o’ come.—
John Thomas b some war or udder in sixty or
seventy .years ole, or upwards. He has a whole
parsel ob chil’ren. But ladies don’t trifle wid ole
John for all dat! If he hadn’t a good and syste
matical wife, he would soon be sorebin after an- -
oder. [Approving applause from the ladies.] 00-o—how
o-o—how de faces db de ladies shine! What
bc-e-autiful ladies dese b ’bone here. It’s enuff to
melt de heart ob a-millstone! Dey is ‘chaste as
de icicle dat hangs on Dihnah’s Temple,’ as de
great Spokeshave said, [Great sensation' among
the female part of the audience, fluttering of hand
kerchiefs, fte.] Geramen and ladies, I was /all
when I got np to speak —very full. Now I am a
great ’eal lighter, an' Hope de audience is ’lightened,
too, an’ will ’sense ole John for speechcfym’. I
’spects ¥ hah contained you awhile wid my on
lamed 'scoutse, but I hope not. But if 1 did, it’s
all for de godetsib de systematical cullid popula
tion.”
The concluding portion of the orator’s remarks
was most loudly applauded, and as he descended'
from the platform, three hearty cheers were given
for ‘‘ Ole John Thomas.” Mr. D, Williams fol
lowed in a brief but appropaiate speech, after
which the colored folks resigned themselves to
their favorite amusements and pastimes—love, song,
dance, etc., which were kept up to a late hour;
the Standard of yesterday, we copy
the following report of an interesting suit which
was tried at last term of court:—
The suit of Chas. Rauch, by his father, F. W.
Rauch, against Gilbert L. Lloyd—an interesting
railway suit—was tried for the third time, last
week, in the Common Fleas of this county. In
1856, Charles Rauch, then a boy of five wars of
age, in company with two other boys—oneyoung
er and the other older—left his father’s house, on
Juniata street, for the purpose of obtaining sha
vings at the boatyard, and proceeded across the
railroad at the Montgomery street crossing.—
Codling back, they arrived at the railroad, and
found the public crossing blocked np by Lloyd &
Hill’s coal cars. The youngest boy in the party
walked around the train, some distance above, bnt
the oldest boy (Myers) and Chits. Ranch attempt
ed to creep under the cars.- Whilst doing so,
Archibald McFadden’s driver moved the train,
injuring Myers somewhat, but Chas. Rauch so
badly that amputation of both limbs, below the
knees, became necessary, and was successful)' ac
complished. Charles Rauch then brought suit
against Lloyd & HiU to recover damages. Bill
having in the meantime died, the suit proceeded
against Lloyd alone.:
It appears that the crossing bad been partially
obstructed by-other cam, and when Lloyd & Hill’s
cars came down the railroad, the gap was filled
up, and the crossing completely obstructed. The
conductor of the train left his cars standing, and
went to his breakfast. McFadden, whose business
it was to move cars, some time afterward hitched
his horses to the cars, moved them whilst the
plaintiff was under them, and produced the-inju
ries for which suit was brought to recover jiama
ges.
The suit was brought in 1856, and the first
trial resulted in a verdict for the defendants. Ex
ceptions were taken to the instructions Of the
Court, and the case was removed to the Supreme
Court, on a writ of error, when the judgment of
the court below was reversed. The second; trial
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for one dollar,
which, being absurd, the court at once set it aside
and granted a new trial. The third trial took
place last week, and resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff of four thousand dollars (4,000.)
The testimony showed conclusively that the de
fendant’s cars were unnecessarily and unlawfully
obstructing the public highway, and therefore the
owner of the cars or the conductor, was, in the
eyes of the law, responsible for his negligence and
carelessness, unless there bad been concurrent ne
glect on the part of the plaintiff. This question,
and the measure of damages, were the only ques,
tions which really engaged the attention of the ju
ry ; and in finding for the plaintiff, they no doubt
reasoned that, because of his tender years and con
sequent want of discretion, he should not be held
responsible. '
The defendant at once moved for a new trial,
which will be argued and disposed of hereafter.

Home Organizations.—The benefit of home
military organizations 'must nftw be apparent to
every man. To be ready to ipeet any emergency
that may arise, we must prepare for it. If all the
preparations ore to be made after we see onr dan
ger, or what is required of ns, it is not likely that
they will be properly made; and besides, wc will
lose in preparation the time that should be : spent
in action.: The time has gone by when “ Home
Guards,” as they were styled, are to be scoffed at
the butt of those who will not enlist in
such organizations lest they might lie called upon
to face the enemy. What we want is a perfect
organization of the men who remain at home, so
that in case there.should be a sudden coll for men
in a certain quarter on the boundary line of the
State, for. a short season, we shall have the force
regularly- organized and drilled, and prepared with
guns and ammunition, to meet the foe. These
home organizations might never he? required to
leave,their homes. Of this, however, we are not
sore. But if it be known that such organizations
exist, .it is less likely that they will be. The re
quisite aims wifi be furnished by the State, to all
companies of men who will thus organize themselves?
and if any man will j ust consider the difference, in
point of time and effectiveness, between calling out a
force of this kind, and calling a lot of raw recruits
to Harrisburg, and there organizing and equipping
them, he will soon see the advantage. Then let
us have them at once, and Jet there be concert of
action in the matter. „
•‘Washington Pennsylvania Soldiers’ Be

From Poet Royal, S. C.—J. G. Adlum, Esq.,

packages for the following persons ;

The packages can be had by calling at Hile

The 'Squire also acknowledges the receipt of the
grape shot picked up on the battle field, at James
Island, together with a lot of Secession pills.
Anoiheb Draw.—Printers are patriotic, as
the ranks of both the Northern and Southern ar
mies will testify. We don’t think there is anything
patriotic about the Southern Confederacy, but those
who fight under its flag doubtless do. The first
call for mien, in April, .’6l, drew from this office
three compositors—two jours and an apprentice—
and the present call draws on us for a jour, Edward
L. Russ, who goes with Capt. Szink, and an ap
prentice, Thomas H. Wakefield, who goes with
Capt. Gardner. This leaves us rather short
handed, bnt we prefer finding ourselves short of
men to finding our army in the same fix. May
health be theirs, and a kind Providence ward off
the bullets of the enemv.
C3~The following resolutions were passed at the
last meeting of the Board of Belief, of Blair co.:
Resolved, That in all oases where the hnsbaud
or the main support of any Pennsylvania volun
teer’s family from the county of Blair has been
killed or died in the service of the United States,
or hereafter may be killed or die in the said . ser
vice daring the rebellion, that the Blair County
Belief Board will give , support to the families of
such at the rate of one dollar per week for widow
and fifty cents per week for each child under four
teen years, until said family shall have obtained a
bounty or pension from the State or General Gov
ernment: Provided, That this shall not be con
strued as to include families whose circumstances
are such as to preclude the necessity of relief.
Resolved 2nd, That relief is hereby.susjicnded in
all other cases.
49*Since we mentioned the “noble~project”
about to be put on foot among the roadmen on the
Penn’a K. B.—that of contributing one day’s wages
in each month toward a fond for the support of
the families of those of their companions who
.might volunteer—we have been asked by several,
who wanted to go into the arrangement, where the
head of it was. It appears that all the men, or a
great majority of them, are anxious to go into such
an arrangement, but they want a head to it. Can
not some of the prominent men, or officers of the
road, take the matter in hand and announce a
starting point ? We think they will find the men
with them immediately. It is worth an effort.'
Fatal Accident. —On Saturday night last, a
man named James Cunningham, residing at Hetjir
lock, Cambria county, was ran over and killed on
the railroad between Gallitzin and Cresson. His
remains were fonnd on Sunday morning literally
cut to pieces. He bad been in this place on Sat
urday and was urged to enlist, but declined because
he was not certain of receiving the bounty, and
because he was not sore that his family would be
provided for. Had he yielded to the solicitations
of those who wished him to enlist, he might have
been spared to his family. It is supposed that he
was intoxicated at the time the accident occurred.
Uki.igioch. —Rev. Dr. C. Jeffries mil preach
in the United Brethem Church, in this place,
next Sabbath morning and evening Subject—
the “Prophetic History of America, and the pres
ent War m the United States." Dr. Jeffries is
known to most of our readers as one of the ablest
ministers in this part of the country, and we doubt
not that he will deliver interesting discourses on
the interesting subject.
Thanks.— The junior tenders his thanks to Mrs.
Bobert Green for the boqnet of beautiful and sweet
scented flowers which now graces his table. Amid
excitement, tumult and war, flowers will bloom
and cast their fragrance, the ladies will remember
the printers, and printers will enjoy such gifts and
think of the donors when they retire from the world
of excitement and enjoy a peaceful hour in their
quiet, happy world—home. '
In Altoona all the hands in one shop volun
teered, and left the boas to gather up the hammers
himself.— Begister.
We publish the above for the purpose of explain
ing it. Some persons suppose that the shop re-;
ferred to was one of theicompany shops. This is
incorrect. It was a wagon-maker shop in Lou
donsville, adjoining Altoona. True, all the hands
in the shop—wagon-makers, blacksmiths and a
teamster—unlisted in- Capt. Gardner’s company,
which left the proprietor |o "Close up the business
or recruit a fresh supply of hands. That’s the way
things are “done up” here ' i ■
Fmp.—On Sunday evening last, at about half
pnst eight o’clock, the Broad Top Railroad Bridge
across the Juniata at this place was discovered to
be on fire. One span on the other side of the river
was completely destroyed, and the second was so
much injured as to make ft necessary to remove it.
The fire is supposed to be fhe work of an incendi
ary. Men are hard at work, and it is expected
that cars will pass over on tressel work in a few:
days.— Huntingdon Globe.
fc?" We learn from the Standard, that Jackson
Gibbs, of Hollidaysbnrg,;was kicked by a vicious'
horse, on Thursday evening last, receiving an ugly
gash on one cheek, and a blow on the side which
produced internal hemorrhage. Although con
fined to his room he is rapidly .recovering.
Worthy of Mention, —We have been assured
that the Methodist Sunday School in this place
has tamed out thirty soldiers since the war com
menced. The last draft upon it has taken neatly
all the male teachers and a bible class of ten able
bodied young men.— Huntingdon Globe.
