Dkpaßtcri; of Ol'r Volitstkkrh. —On Friday
morning last, flic two volunteer companies fe
. ruited in this place, by Captains Szink and Garde
ner. departed for Harrisburg, on a speciaTtrain.—
Long previous to the hour at which they were to
«art, men. wqnien anti children commenced flock
ing to the depot, and by half past seven o’clock:
perhaps the largest concourse of people ever wit
nessed in the town bad assembled in front of the
Logan House. Business seemed to be entirely
nwpended, and one-half, if not two-thirds, of the
■iwellings were deserted. Relatives were there to
hid farewell, perhaps forever, to. those neat' and;
dear to them, and the partings witnessed were suf
ficient to melt the hearts of the most Gallons. A
few |nissed the-ordeal of separation with fortitude,
not deigning, to meet trouble half-way, but: such
esses were rare, and required more self-possession
than generally falls to the lot of the gentler sex.— 1
Friends and acquaintances were there to give the'
putting band and offer words of encouragement to
the gallant men who were about toexchange pleas
ant and comfortable homes for the privations, ex
pires and dangers of camp Ufe apd the field of
battle. Spontaneously, as it were, at the call of
their country, they laid aside the hammer, and
plain, and trowel, and other implements of peace,
to take op the sword and musket, implements of
death, and go forth to meet and repel the foes of
liberty and Christianity, and obtain for themselves
an honorable place on the scroll of fame, or an hon
orable death in defence of the right. Nothing but
a dear consciousness of duty could have tempted
them to enter the service. All that heart
could wish and friends supply was theirs at home.
While all who enlisted ore entitled, to, and will re-;
reive, a bounty, yet we venture to say that scarcely
one in ten thought of the bounty when they gave;
in their names. We would be sorry to know that
the paltry sum offered as a bounty was
to wake up our young men to a sense of their
duty. The only advantage gained by offering the’,
bounty is, that it enables men who want to serve
their country, but who are poor, to leave some
thing behind for the support of those who are de
pendent upon them.
Shortly before eight o’clock' the Altoona Brass:
Band escorted the companies from their recruiting
offices to the cars in waiting for them, and at:
about eight o’clock the train pulled out, amid the
vociferous cheers of. the crowd at the depot and oh
the cars, the waving of handkerchiefs, the booming
of little “ Union,” and music by the brass and.
martial bands.

Anothkr Coxpaky from Altoona. —We rai
dcrsland that another company is -now forming in
this place, to be under the command of Captain
William Boyden. That the company can be raised
there is no donbt ? and the orders from Washing
ton, which we publish lift smother column, extend
ing the time of filling np volunteer companies,
renders it certain that Altoona will furnish the
third company under the lute calls. ' Although the
Government allows no bounty to those who go into
service under the malitia call, yet we feci certain
that the county will pay a lummy. We know our
Commissioners are inclined to do it, and the peo
ple will,sanction their action, “ Little Blair” has
won the tifle of the “ banner county ” of the State
in being ; the first to fill up and for exceed her
quota of men under the first call. We learn from
good authority that the quota of Blair counts-, un
der both calls, and for men to fill np the old regi
ments, will be about one thousand men. Altoona
has done her duty, thus' far, nobly and quickly, and
she will continue to do it. To those who know
Captain Boyden. there us no use in our speaking a
word in his praise, .but to those who do not know
him we would say,/gentlemen, you could not go
into the service under a man who will more faith
fully befriend you and take care of your rights.—
Fill np Altoona company No. 3.
Farewell Address. —Tlie members of Capt.
Szink’s company assembled in front of the United
Brethren Church, on Thursday evening last, to
listen to a farewell address delivered by Bev. S.
Kephait, pastor of the congregation. There was
a full turn out of the company, and a huge num
ber of citizens. The address was spirited and to
the point, showing that' the speaker’s soul was en
gaged in the cause of the Union as well as in the
canse of religion. While encouraging the compa
ny to tight like heroes, and maintain the honor
of the stars and stripes, he impressed upon them
the necessity of being prepared for the dangers of
the- battle-field—for death, if that should be their
portion. Addresses .were also delivered by M. T.
Dill, Capt. Szink, Capt. Crazier and Bev. Shear
er, all breathing woWs of encouragement, to the
men who had so nobly and quickly responded to
the call of their country. - *
DemooeAtxc Cocntv Convention. —The Dem
ocratic County .Convention met in Hollidaysbuig,
on Wednesday of last week, and organized by
electing Col. Wm. Jack, President.
Col. Archibald McAlister was unanimously
declared the nominee of the Convention for Con
gress. ' William Jack, John Woods and Samuel
Isett were appointed Congressional Conferees.
Thaddens Bulks and Theopbilas Snyder were
placed in nomination for State Senators. A ballot
resulted in the nomination of Theophilus Snyder.
Junes Lowtber, John C. Everhart and B. W.
Christy were appointed Senatorial Conferees.
On motion of Col. Everhart, the following reso
lution was adopted;
Setohed, That this Convention deem it inexpe
dient to nominate a County ticket at this time.
We are behind time with our paper this
week, in consequence of three of our (Compositors
having laid down the “ stick alid rule” and taken
up their line of march for “dixie." Our youngest
d—l is all that is left with us, and were he of mili
tary age and proportions be would follow in the
footsteps of his companions. :We have seen the
time when tbeshadowiof one “tramping jonr” had
scarcely passed ont the door ere another entered to
inquire for a. “case.” But times are cjianged.—
We have seen but one; travelling jour in the. last
twelve months. It is.more difficult now to get
workmen than it oncewvas to get nd of them.—
We hope to be able toobtain a recruit or two in a
few days, and keep things moving as usual, pro
vided Uncle Sam don’t give the proprietors notice
that he wants their service for nine months.
A Foraouso.—We learn that on Wednesday
evening last, an infant, apparently bnt a few hours
old, was found on one of the back streets, in East
Ward. It was carefully wrapped np and had
been carefully deposited where it was found. Its
cries attracted the attention of some person pass
ing by. It was taken in .and cared for by some
of the ladics in. the locality where it was found,
and ip now in the possession of Mrs. Alexander
Marshall. It has not yet been discovered to
whom it belongs. We hope the inhuman being
who could thus deserf her offspring, may be Ar
retted out and punished as she justly deserves.
SEVEHBrMjdtmM>.—Chi Thunvlay oflast wwk.
Craig Stewi«%; a brakesman on one of the freight
trains between this place and Harrisburg, while
standing on top of a car, was knocked down by the
bridge below Tipton, and so severely injured that
he yet lies in a critical condition. No one saw
him receive the stroke, but he was found shortly
after iying on the top of the car in an insensible
condition, the blood ooxing from his care. He
placed in a car and brought to this place,
where he received medical attention. He was re'-
moved to JSoilidargburg, where his fnniitv reside.
Exccbsiok Train.— An excursion train will Ik 1
run from Hollidaysburg to Birmingham. on Sun
day next, Tor the accommodation of those who
wish to attend. the Camp Meeting at the latter
place. The train will leave Holiidaysburg at 7.110
A. M., Mid Altoona at 8.00 A. M., and arrive at
Birmingham at 9.00 A. M. Returning, will leave
Birmingham at 10.00 P. M., and arrive at Holli
daysburg at 11,25 P. M., stopping at all stations.
o“\Ve would advise those of our citizens who
have relatives and friends in camp,’ at Harrisburg,
not to give credence to the innumerable rumors set
afloat every day, by designing persons, no doubt,
for the purpose of annoying them. All the letters
we have yet received from onr boys state that they
are getting along finely, have plenty to eat and
plenty of fnn.
Base Bam, Club Challenge Acckitko.—
The Keystone Base Ball Club, of Harrisburg, re
cently challenged the Club, in this place, for a
match. The Altoona Club has accepted the chal
lenge, selected the members who are to enter the
match, and named Wednesday next as the time,
and Uarrisbnrg the place where the contest shall
come oft - .

<3* The Westward Express Train this (Friday)
morning ran over a man in the “Narrows." be
tween Mifflin and Lcwistowu. It is supposed that
he was a soldier, and had fallen from the Special
train which passed East last night. It is not known
whether he was living or dead when the Express
passed over him.

tendent of Common Schools of Pennsylvania, will

School Laws of the State with the decisions of the
Superintendent and explanatory instructions and

Altoona, Aug. „14, 1862.
To ike Public ! — An experience of six months
has fully convinced me tliat the cash system Is
the best, both for Mid consumer. It ena
bles the merchant to sell at oxe-Balp less profit
and make more clear money, with less trouble than
he can by selling on credit; and the reason is ob- |
vious—he pits the money down for eveiything he j
wants to sell, and has the use of it immediately.—
The consumer also saves by buying for cash, be- ,
cause he gets Jtis merchandise at from 25 to 50 per
cent, below what he would hare 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 of prompt monthly payers. i • j
I atp 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 largest and cheegtest as
sortment of ] Goods ever brought ■to Altoona. I
would first invite attention to my complete selec
tion of BEY GOODS, such as Morianta Silks,
Bla?k Silks, Ducals, Reps, Foulards, Schallies,
Delaines, 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 CARPETS, ranging in juice
from 12} 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 Paper and Bordering—a entirely
new selection, embracing the latest and most beau
tiful styles of Pajier 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 jicr gallon; 2d class only 50
cents. Sugars at 9, 10, 11 and 11} cents jierlb.
Coffee, Tea, Sjjices, Salt, Fish, SOaji, Candles,
and everything in that line, at Cash Prices.
In the QUEENSWABE line, I have the lar
gest stock in town: Wedgewood’s celebrated
Iron-Stone Tea Sets, forty-six pieces, only $8.87.
China Sets comjilete, only . $12.00. Chamber
Sets, from $1.25 upward.
In the way of GLASSWARE, I hare eveiything
raentionable, such as Emit Stands, Cake Stands,
Jelly Dishes, Preserve Jars, Goblets, Tumblers,
&c., &c.
1 would respectfully inyito the public to coll and
examine my stock Wore purchasing elsewhere, as
I feel confident dud I cut convince diem that it is
cheaper to buy for auk than on credit; and also,
that my slock is worth an examination.

These Cans and dare, being perfectly simple in their ar
rangement, and requiring no cement or solder to make
them Air-Tight, are the most reliable and convenient ves
sel* for preserving fruits and vegetables of all Icinds, that
are in the market.
they possess tub following advantages :
let All that is required after the fruit has been put in
hot, m simply to screw the top down tjglitly.
2d.' They can be opened by a single turn of the cover,
and the contents taken out in oue-fourth the time required
by other cans.
34. Besides their simplicity »ud ease of adjustment, and
impossibility of stoppers blowing out, they show at all time*
the exact condition of the fruit, by simply looking at the
lop of the cover; If the gum is concave the fruit is good:
if convex, the fruit is going to spoil, but will always show
itself in time to be Saved. .
Directions. .
Heat the Jars or p ace an iron spoon In; them while (til
ing, which will avoid cracking. After the Jars are foil,
take out the spoon or iron, and Screw down the cap tight.
Care should be taken to replace the same coven on the
same Jars from which they were taken.
To restore the gums tligt have been used, to their origi
nal shape, put them in hot water for one hour.
