Governor and Commander-in-Chief A. L. Bcsbeix, Adj’t Gen. Penn.. I Down With Party Politics. {We arc to-day more unequivocally opposed to the agitation of poliitkal questions than ever we have been, because we can see no good that will result from it. We profess to be,-and believe we arc, as sincerely devoted to the cause of the Un ion as any of our fellow men in the North; and ■drimngh we may not have the ability to make that devotion tell as effectually as some of our cotem potaries,we arc determined to do all in our pow er, as jonr-nalista, to prevent the germination of seeds of diacord sown at home by rabid pot itkgui*. AW men do not view political questions, and the «cb of our civil and military authorities, in the same light, hot these differences of opinion do not necessarily effect their loyalty to their country. We should always be willing to accord to others that which we claim for ourselves—the right to Wdnk and act according to our convictions, prori ded we do notthereby furnish aid and coinfort to the enemies of our country. The all-absorbing question in the present campaign should be, “is the man who solicits my vote a sound Union man, and will he, if elected, sustain the constituted au thorities in their efforts to pat down the rebellion 7” Ifhe be such, then we care not whether he be a Bepobliean or Democrat; and if he be doubtful, we care not if he be our bosom friend, we should oppose him to the bitter end. Let every one vote for the man whom he knows will work for the -good of the conntry, who is honest in profession, if there be'honest politicians, and all will be well. . We an almost as much pained to read the po litical articles in some of our exchanges as we are to leant of rebel successes. The latter can be only temporary, while the former is destined to wdric injury now and mine serious injury hereaf ter; Onr only hope is in the belief that those who can so fiur forget their calling as journalists, their duty to promote harmony, and place so small on estimate upon the necessity of unity at home, are without influence for evil. Every editor, Demo cratic or Bepobliean, who charges disloyalty upon the entue oppashioD, becaose of the fanaticism of a few individuals, insaitH.aud outrages the feelings of better and more loyal men than himself. Ev ery man who desires to be informed must know ffiqt there are just as true and loyal men in one party as the other; and this is not the tin... to qrit-hatn in endeavoring to find out whichparty contains the moat loyal or disloyal members.— There ore radicals in both parties whose zeal for .patty blinds them to the interests of the country, but the whole party to not to be condemned be eamothereof. • W« believe there we men who would rather see t l||i dian that slavery should not be abolished; sad time are others who would rath m-lattfaßUainri alkie than .that slavery thoald be eboMMd. Aw such men the true frieadsof die IWob ? b slavery paramount to the Union ? Should It pot be onr flrstjssre to save the country and let slavery take care of itself. If It be neees sarv to the perpetuation of the Union to continue to hold the slaves where they are, then we say let them remain in slavery; but if our country can only be saved by freeing and emancipating them, then let them be freed at once, and stop the effu sion of so much noble blood. The reply of the President to Horace Greeley was brief, plain and sufficiently augmentative, and evidenced that he ; had the welfare of the country at heart. The re ply did not satisfy the person to whom it was ad- i dressed but we;believe it was satisfactory to the \ maim df the people. We have our own opinions as to the final issue of this conflict, but lest our po siton should be misunderstood we do rA here state them. Besides; we do not think that a statement of them would be beneficial to any one. We may be wrong, and if we are, we expect to be con vinced of onr error. If those who hold contrary opinions are expect them to be con vinced and come over to onr side. Time alone can determine whether we are right or wrong. In these exciting and dangerous times, when the fighting blood tuns warm through the veins of all loyal men, we know that they are not inclined to stop and reason, bnt hastily form their opinions of men by their conversation. It is against hasty ac tion in such cases that we wouldi caution all per sons, lest injustice be done. Remarks are now more readily misconstrued, and rumors should be well authenticated before they are.received. , We care not: what a man’s professions of loyalty may be, if be wilt publish or circulate reports cal culated to alienate those who should now be joined hand in hand, he cannot be considered a true friend of the Union. While we caution against undue agitation of political questions in this hour of ~ our country’s peril, we nevertheless desire the people to scruti nize closely the different candidates for office, and if any of them are unsound, let them be .so pub lished and every effort made to defeat them, but do not let their disloyally be made the pretext-for assailing the whole party to winch they belong. A Week of Excitement. The past has been a week of intense excitement, equal to that which succeeded the bombardment of Fort Sumter and the attack upon the Union troops passing through Baltimore. Accounts, often ex aggerated, of the invasion of Maryland by the reb els have awakened onr people to a sense of their danger and their utter inability, in their present situation, to meet the foe. While we have never harbored the idea that the rebels would invade this section of the country, nevertheless, such a thing is not out of the range of possibility, when we consider how rapidly cavalry can be moved. Should such an attempt be made they might do considerable damage, but we doubt whether they would ever get back to their own dominions. We are sure they would not if we do sir duty in pre paring to meet them. We have at different times urged the formation of companies for home pro tection, but the ridicule to which the “Home Guards” were subjected prevented those so in clined from entering into or attempting to keep up such organizations. Now that it has become actually necessary for eveiy man to enter into such an organization, for the purpose of repelling a seriously threatened invasion, this stigma will be removed, and if the excitement turns out to be merely excitement, it will at least have accom plished one desirable, object, that of putting the State on a perfect war footing. Now this matter of enrolling, and drilling at least two afternoons in each week, must hot be neglected, or we shall surely pay for our carelessness. A wily foe will not venture where he knows he will be met by equal numbers, well drilled, upon their own soil, but he will assuredly make a raid if he knows the inhabitants are reposing in fancied security. What resistance could be made by the regiment of able bodied men in this place, if they remain in an unor ganized condition, make to the attack of even 50 well drilled and Hvell mounted cavalrymen ? None at all. But if we do our c duty at once, and per fect our organizations, in less than five days we will be prepared to successfully resist ten times that number, and to give aid to' our neighbors on the border who may be in danger. Lcthaigy most not succeed this excitement. We must have a half-dozen or more good companies, and they must be raised at once. The excitement is not over. The danger play be greater before it is less. Let us lose no time, but forsaking business for a few hours, twice a week, prepare ourselves to do something in the way of protecting our homes, our families, onr all. If onr brethern will forsake their homes and comforts they there possessed and go a long distance to meet and repel the foe, shall we, while enjoying all the blessings they have sac rificed, be so ciminally careless as to neglect to prepare ourselves to defend our own and theirs, should the foe appear at onr doors? Certainly, it cannot be that we are thus indifferent. Our people are now excited and in earnest, and we want to see the organizations perfected while it can be done. P. S.—The excitement of the last two days, to gether with a heavy amonnt of job work, has de layed our paper until this (Friday) morning. For latest news see telegraphic despatches in .fifth col umn. “To Harrisburg!” is now the cry. We are living ages in days. 43* The Congressional Conferees of this dis trict met at Tyrone on die 2nd inst., and after sundry ballots re-nominated Hon. S. S. Blair, of this county. Mr. Blair to an earnest and able ad vocate of the principles of his party, and has made a faithful representative. In these trying times of onr country’s peril, it may be questioned whether it to advisable to change too frequently onr mem bers of Congress, where they are loyal and true. We before mentioned that the Democratic confer ence placed in nomination Col. McAlister. Both candidates arc now in the field and it is for the people to choose between them. Louis W. Haul.—We learn that the Senatorial Conferees of the Union party met at this place, on Tuesday last, and unanimously re-nominated L. W. Hall as their candidate for the Senate. No strong er nomination could possibly have been made. Mr. Hall is so well known to the people of the district, that on announcement of the fact of his being candidate is all tye propose to do_ at this time. new paper, styled The Monitor, has been started in Hnhtingdon, and is edited by Albert Owen, £sg. Tit makes a very neat appearance.— Should it prove to be of the right stamp we hope it may live Monger than some of its predecessors. Our Army CoiTespoudence. Camp at Fort Barnard, Va., 1 September Bth; 1862.) Messrs. Editors :—The same day! on which I mailed my other letter to yon, Companies D and F ware ordered to strike tents, pack up and march —we knew not whither; bnt we were not kept long in suspense, for, after inarching about three-fourths , of a mile, over a hill, we were ordered to halt and pitch our tents upon the site of onr; present en campment, which is a nice place, jus* outside of Fort Barnard. As soon as we were fixed up we commenced drilling, four hours each day, with the heavy artillery in the Fprt. It was great fan for the boys, inasmuch as our instructors were Germans, (of Blenker’s Division) whose knowl edge of the English language was not as thorough as their artillery discipline. Besides, we had been led to believe that as soon as we could handle the . guns properly, we would be stationed in the Fort and thus be exempted from tedious marches and all that sort -of thing. But, alas 1 many a poor soldier’s “ calculations” have been knocked into ;« by “ General .Orders,” and so it was with ours.— In a few days the Germans were oidered away, the Ist Maine Beg’t took their place; the balance of our Regiment joined us, and we have not been in the Fort since 1 Company drill; battallion drill and picket duty occupied our attention until Sun day morning last, when, notwithstanding a heavy rain, weTvcre introduced to a duly which had, thus far, been entirely new to us, as a regiment, al though, individually, many of us had already had as much experience in that line as was really de sirable. The duty referred to was,' digging and shovelling. We were set to work in trenches and that kind of drill has been faithfully attended to from day to day by all the companies not on picket. How long the work will last I am unable to say, bnt 1 feel certain that nobody cares how soon it is done. In regard to war news, you are better posted than we arc. Madam Bumor seldom tells us the truth, and we know nothing but what we see with our own eyes. On Wednesday last we saw 1 den. Banks’ Division returning from Ccntrevillc; it halted about a mile in our rear. Quite a number of McClellan's troops are also encamped near us, and many of our acquaintances from the 49th, 84th, 110th, and other Pennsylvania Regiments, are daily visiting us. Vou may depend, it gives us pleasure to take them by and welcome them to our camp; to hear from their own lips the stories of their hardships, bair-bteadth escapes, and occasional “skedaddles.” On the other hand they are anxious to hear from home, to talk of “old times,” and to see so many of their neighbors and acquaintances now in the field, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the next strug gle. They feel encouraged and I have yet to hear from one of them the expression of any such green eyed sentiments, or rather insinuations and slurs, in regard to'the nine-months volunteers, as those contained in the letter trom Captains Hicks and Wayne. And here just allow me, in behalf of the 125th Reg’t P. V.. to return thanks to you, Messrs. Editors, for your prompt refutation of the unchar itable, nngentlemauly and insulting insinuations of the two “ commissioned officers" above referred to. In regard to the injbrmatipn which they desire, I have nothing to say, more than this, viz :—judg ing from the letter, they are in quest of an article which they stand very much" in need of. The al lusion to “drafting" is simply contemptible, and tlare not be mode verbally, fiice to face! “As to sums donated by private citizens,” allow me to say —they were only promises, and have never been fulfilled. Neither have we received the $25 boun ty from the Government, nor the “one month pay in advance." The bounties offered the nine months voluntcdfc mag have induced some to en list,—not because they lacked patriotism, but be- cause that money would place their families out of the reach of want, until the volunteers would re ceive their monthly pay. Bat 1 dp not wish to occupy any more time or space with such “small potatoes.” Now permit me to notice a contemptible affair which occurred at home since we left. The wife of a fine man in our company, was recently waited upon by her landlord, for his rent, long before it was due. On being told that site hadn’t the money, he raved like a tyrant, and told her that if she did not pay it on a certain day, still before it was due, he woold send the constable there ! Now, Messrs. Editors, I would like to know how many souls Idte that landlords it woold lake to ; fill a gnat’s bladder. Another man in onr company, having mure house-room than his own family needed, hod rented a portion of it to another; but the soldier has recently been obliged to turn his tenant ont for insulting bis (the soldier’s) family by such lan guage as tins: “Any man who would leave a sal ary of $lOO a year to be a private in the army of the United States, could not have stood very high in the estimation of hto fellows.” I only give this one sentence as a specimen-leaving l out. his con demnations of the Administration and all who labor for the preservation of the Union. Now, 1 would just like to say to him that the soldier re ferred to does stand high in the estimation of his fellow-soldiers. I believe him to be a good man, too, and I doubt not he will “stand high" at the right band of Clod when such men as his tenant and the hard-hearted landlord before referred to, together with all “secesh” sympathizers, will be squirming in the bottomless pit like eels in a fry ing pan! ! September 6th.—This morning we went ont to work, as usual, but were called 'in about 11 o'clock, and ordered to prepare for marching.— We are now ready and “the boys” are all in fine spirits. Various are the reports os to onr destina tion; but 1 presume few care where we go, if we can only accomplish something beyond digging dry canals! Ah! here is the decisive, order— “cook three days’ rations and march as soon as possible”—nobody knows where, hot we shall find out when we get there, and yon shall then be in formed by yoor humble serv’t Brevier. : I’ll tell Pa when He comes Home.—A friend of ours, who had taken pride for several years itfcnltivftting a full crop of hair on his &ce, was called away from home on business some time since. While absent, an inexperienced barber spoiled his whiskers in trimming them which so elmgrinet} him that be directed the barber to make a cleanjob of it by shaving whiskers and mustache both off. The barber obeyed, and onr friend’s face was .as smooth and as delicate as when in bis teens. He returned home in the (light. Next morning his little girl did not yeognize him on waking np. Looking over her mother, and seeing as she supposed a stranger in the bed, she re marked in her childish sftaplicity, “Mistir, you get out of here; Til ttU mg Pa when he route* home." —Pittuburg Pott. For the. Altoona 'Tribune. What Should beJDone. Messrs. Editors :—ln these times 1 it is not amiss to take a calm and careful retrospect ive view of circumstances which now surround ns. And what a scene is presented to our sight—broth ers of a civilized country warring with each other —desedation and rain fast taking the place of pros perity—the noble fabric of our national govern ' ment apparently tottering on its basis. And to this may be added sorrowing hearts of parents, wives and children, mourning for the loss of those who were dearly loved, and who have been called to spill their blood upon the field of conflict in de fence of the Union. It is not our intention to ■ look o’er the past, and endeavor to search out the : authors of this wicked rebellion ; but to give our opinion as to what t«, and should be, the part to be taken by every true lover of his country and its institutions. And what is that duty ? It is to uphold the hands of our chief magistrate and his assistants in controlling the Government—to use every effort in our power to crush out the rebellion now raging in our country—to give our time, our energies, and, if need be, our blood, in the defence of our beloved nation. The question may be asked, “why are we call ed upon to make these sacrifices?” I answer that we should feel tjhat wc owe it to future gen erations to show that ire as a nation can maintain a representative Government. The maintenance of the Union—of our Government, with its untold blessings, demands these sacrifices. Every ' past blessing which we have enjoyed colls upon us to perpetuate the free institutions upon which our no ble Government is erected. Does not the memo ry of the trials of our forefathers to procure liberty for their successors and children, also call upon us to use our utmost efforts to transmit to our chil dren, the blessings, they bequeathed to us ? Cer tainly, every sacrifice that can or may be made is not too great for the support of our Union. Let every citizen, whether he is high or low. ted that ho. individually, is a power in our coun try. Let each one feel that on him rests the res ponsibility of sustainingthis Government—let him feel that it is las duty to do all that lays in his power—not saying let this ot that one go to the battle-field, but yo himself. Let us as a people, feel our duty—first to our God, second to our country, and then to ourselves. Let each be moved by pa triotic feelings—not by mercenary motives—the spoils of office—ambitious plottings for a name on the scroll of history. If-, the powerful influence now exercised by politicians to secure their aims were used for the sustaining of the Government, how marked would be the aspect, of affairs. Wc are firm in the belief that until all partisan feeling is thrown away, and all unite as one for the pres ervation of the Union, many long days will elapse ere the rebellion will be crushed- What motives, what entreaties can we use to bring our people to a true realization of their duty? The future hap piness of their children, of unborn generations, (and we may say of the world) depend upon them. These call upon them to sustain our nation and its free government. Let us state, in conclusion, that we know in some measure the state of feeling that exists iu the South against the North, and are convinced that all our energies must be put forth to suppress the tile endeavors of traitorous hands to destroy the fair fabric of our glorious Union. Let the spirit that animated our Revolutionary Fathers exist in our veins and soon shall we see jieace and prosperity restored to our land. i; Cling to the Union—'twa* purchased with blood, *Twaa wet with the tears of the brave and the good The spirits that formed it have gone to their rest. And the turf lieth green-on each patriot’? breast." A VoTXNTEER The Aggregate Quota of Troops to be Raised by Each County. The following table shows the number of troo]>s to be furnished by the several counties. The quotas embrace all the troops called for since the commencement of the war, excepting the three .months’ men. Then umber assigned to each coun ty will be apportioned among the several townships, and boroughs and precincts by the Commissioner, in accordance with the enrolment ; and he will creidt each township, precinct, &c., with the men already furnished, as shown by the enrolment, and make a draft.' for the number necessary to till the quota, unless volunteers are furnished on or before the day fixed for the draft Credit cannot be allowed for teamsters, mechanics in the army, men enlisted in regular army or marines, or for volunteers enlisted in regiments of other States. Several counties have already raised there full quotas and there will be no draft in such counties. The troops to be raised for the old regiments are not embraced in this table. There will probably be a special draft for those. Adams, ' l,Gf6 Juniata, Allegheny, 10,593 Lancaster, Armstrong, 2,124' Lawrence, Beaver, 1,725 Lebanon.

We copy (he following instructions relative to the draft in this State from the Hnrrisbnig Tele //ra/ih, where it is published by authority:—• Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, Sept. 6, 1862. j To —— Commissioner q/'— County Sib ;—You will herewith receive a Copy of General Orders No 121, issued by .the War De partmcnt. giving particular instructions as to the care and organization of drafted men. You will examine the orders carefully and cam - out their directions faithfully. The quota for your county to fill the several requisitions made u|>on this State by the War De- I>ariment, is men. You w ill apportion this quota to the different townsbi|is, boroughs and wards in your county, in accordance with the enrollment made by tlie Mar shals,, of men subject to military duty. It will not be made however, until the appeals are held, and the claims to exemption are decided, as it cannot be justly apportioned until the exact num ber of men actually subject to military duty in each district is ascertained. When the propel proportion of each sub-divis ion of the county is determined, in accordance with the men actually subject to military duty, you will ascertain from-the enrollment, the num-, her of men each district has now in the service and credit therewith on its quota. In this credit, men enlisted in the regular army, in the marine ser vice. blacksmiths, bridge builders, carpenters, teamsters, clerks, &c., and men enlisted ita regi ments or companies organized under die laws of other States, are not to be embraced. Von will credit only for men enlisted in the volunteer regiments and companies; recog nized and commissioned by the Governor of this State. 1 1 ou will also observe carefully, to guard against the same men being credited in two districts. In some instances, young men whose parents reside 'in one district, have been laboring cm- temporarily residing in another, and there enlisted; afid they may be credited on the enrollment in both. When you detect any such case, give the credit to the district where the person enlist was pursuing bis lawful calling at the time be enlisted, without re gard to the residence of his parents. : If any districts in your county have finished more than their quotas, yon will' ascertain : the ag gregate of such excess, and apportion it asm cred it to the other districts of the county, in accord ance with the enrollment. V If any companies or squads of men in your coun ty have been mustered into the service of the Uni ted States since the enrolment was made, wm will if possible, procure copies of the rolls of si*h com panies or squads, and credit them to the proper districts in which the men resided. ? Although the orders or the War Department re quired the enrollment of all men between jjhe ages of eighteen and forty-five years the militia laws of this State exeutptjrom mititury duty, all versone under twenty-one years. You will therefore, when holding appeals, erase from the list, all persons who establish the feet to yonr satisfaction, that they arc under twenty-one years. Yon can ex amine such persons under oath, when yott are not otherwise satisfied. ; Y° u will at once give notice by hand bills, that on the 15th day of September, yon will proceed to draft for each district, the number of men neces sary to fill its quota, unless the district fitrnishes the men as volunteers on or before that dag: State in your hand bills distinctly, that each district can ofler volunteers to fill its quota on the Hay the draft is to be made, and thus obviate the draft en tirely. Such volunteers may be offered yoh at anv time, but you are not authorized to subsist them until the day fixed for the draft. Should you find it impossible to make die draft on the 15th of September, you will notify the Governor by mail or telegraph, as mav be neces sary, and name the earliest day on which': it can be made. Upon satisfactory assurance that dne dtllgence will not enable yon to make the draft -on that day the time will be extended, but the extension will not exceed fire days.

Hi Kxtsxrl take pleasure in making this'roj, antary statement In favor of a medicine prepared br called “ Linusxt’s Blood Searcher.” I had five jean with Scrofula which broke out oa mj bead forehead so as to disfigure me very much, and took off tin hair when thed Isease made Its appearance; it aho brok< oai on my arm above and below the elbow, and eat into & skin and flesh so as to expose a feorfal sore. Th« on my head srent so far that several small pieces of buu came out. 1 was very week and low spirited, and feu given up ail hope of ever getting well, at I had tried m. eral skillful phyaiciane and they did me no good. Id %-y. teuiber laat, 1861, 1 was induced to try “ LimdsiTi u proved Blood Searcher.” I must confess I bad do ibu in patent tpedicines, hot after 1 had used three bottkc 3 ; Blood Searcher, the ulcere on my head and ana begu u heal. I have now taken eight or ton bottles, and mjb*, and arm are entirely well except the scars remaining fro* the sores. I will also state that 1 had the rbeunati« very bad in my arms and legs. The Bleed Searcher cored the rheumatism. lam now a well mam over fan years of age, and 1 1 foel as tuple and young as 1 did «h*c I was twenty, and have increased in weight twenty pound*. I would also state that the disease in my foreheard vu * bad that when I stooped and lifted anything bean, tb, blood run out of the sore. Dr. Rayser bad a photoprint taken oi me by Mr. Cargo, the artist, after I began to £>• well. It does not show my appearance as bad as it ** before I cotmneoced talcing the medicine. You can the photograph, one of which is now in my poeseuioc and also at Dr. Keyser*e 140 Wood street. I would al* state that 1 cook the Blood Searcher which was mad* be fore Dr. Keyser commenced making it. Although if helped me some, I did not recover fast until I got the kite made by Dr. Keyser himself One bottle of his did at more good than two of the'old. I believe it is a great dal stronger and better. I have recommend*! the Biw>; Searcher to a great many of my friends for various <ll*- easec, and I believe it has helped the whole hi them. Yk may publish this if you wish, and I am anxioiu that all who are afflicted as I was may be cured. 1 live in Ufa cut, No. 4 Pine ratreet, and am employed at Collville * Aao»r son’s Union Marble Works. 54 Wayne street.

The following very plain inatrnctiona have been sent ns by a ladj who its deeply interested in the work; and aa the moat of the ladies hi the town and country are en gaged in preparing hospital stores, it may he of gnat advantage to them: — In the first place, the. anrgeona state that much of the fort sent is not properly prepared, and, in most cases, cannot he .used. Most persons who utepate lint go to the trouble of scraping it, which is not only unnecessary labor, but the lint'. thus prepared can bo used only in exceptional cases. The proper, way to prepare it is to take old sheets, or any other article of par* Hum, old being rather preferable to new, and cut it in pieces from three to six and twelve inches in lenghth. ‘ These J»e ces should then be simply unraveled, thread by thread, and laid together in skeins or handles, «m< tied or rolled up in paper, different lengths in separate pmckagtw. The saigeons can then roll it aa Mr pat it in any shape wanted in a moment. yfiia scraptd teit is used in most wounds, it closes np the wounds, and the blood or pus unit ing with it forms a hard mass, which not only ir ritates, but it is difficult to remove ; while the tm taveled'lint keeps the wound cool and in a heal thy condition. The reader will see also that it is much more easily prepared than the scraped lint. Bandages should be made of unbleached muslin of medium quality, say such as can be bought for ten or twelve cents per yard. They should be four, six, eight and ten yards long, and ranging in width from one-half to four inches wide—say ; inch, 1, I}, 2 V 2J, 3J, finches. - The edges should bo cleared ,of all ravels or loose threads, which cause delay or annoyance to the surgeon in apply ing them in j an emergency. Each size of band age should be rolled up in ribbon style. ■ Pads for wounded limbs are in demand. These are mode of old calico, or anything that will hold saw dust or bran—the latter being preferable.— They are made in the form of bags, of three sizes —4 inches by 6, Bby 12, and 12 by 18. When filled there if enough bran put in to make them of a uniform thickness. .These are use to lay under wounded limbs. They may be filled by those who make them, if preferred, though the material for filling can usually be had convenient to the hospitals. Another article much in demand is sand begs These are muslin bogs which go in pairs, and an used ha the improved foethod of treating fracture, of the lower extremities. One of them should be long enough to reach from the hip on the ontsidc, and the other from the crotchet, on the inside ol the leg, to a point two' or three inches below tht foot. They should be 3 or 4 inches wide at tht lower end and 50r6 at the top. They are fllle. with sand at the hospitals. These are now uset instead of splints for fractures of the lower extrem ities, which is said to be a great improvement ami the old style of treating fractures. In addition to the foregoing, old handkerchiefs, common shirts (open in front and tied with strings and noder-clothes of all kinds are constantly ii demand. Jellies' suitable for convalescents, and oranges and lemons, are also always acceptable; but cakes, pies, and pastry generally should be kept out of both camp and hospital. To persons visiting military hospitals we would also say a word. In entering a ward you should not distribute oranges or the like to the inmates anlee* yon hare enough to give to all. Surgeon* and none* say that it is no less painful to them than to die slighted ones to see a distinction made among men who are equally brave and de serving." Sick and wvunded soldiers are naturally sensitive. Away from home, with nothing to en gage their attention bnt their own sufferings, their thoughts naturally run on the friends, the affec tions and the comforts which they sacrificed for the sake of their country. They, therefore, sec and feel a slight where none may. have been in tended. If you bare anything to give, and can not beat aQ it is better to give it to tb« nurse or die surgeon, to be added to the genera stock, out of which' all will be supplied alike ai their necessities may require. —Lancaster Express Lint and other surgical dressings contribute*; for the benefit of the wounded soldiers, and di rected to the office of the Surgeon General, wil be forwarded to Washington by Adams’ Expresi Company free of charge.
