two qeeks, several regiments have passed through
this place. Several of them were from Ohio,

were | hundred day men front I‘unnsylvauia anti

been a few had - characters in litis regiment, wlto

tram jstopped here; a few of them collected in
front Of Minehart’s watch establishment, in Brant's
Bow, ,and, while the proprietor was absent, prized
up ihe window! and abstracted several watches,
ahogetlier valued at $lOO. Another went into J.
M. Cherry’s watch and jewelry store, where Airs

house to get him a piece, he pocketed a couple of

and was caught by one of onr citizens, who made

Bedford Springs, who stopped at one of the Hun

I " bile: at the hotel she used very treasonable lan

Secesji to rare, whereupon the girls struck up
“ Kally round the Flag.” Secesh was rampant
and c eclured she would rather die than walk under

U»S, flag, locked the door which opened on the
a street, and when the train was coming, hung the
flag c v6r the main entrance, by which Secesh was
comp tiled to make her exit. She soon made her
appearance, saw the flag, and passed out under'it,
to the infinite merriment of the girls, who waved
it over her .head as she departed, accompanying

Stj.sip os Receipts.—We stated last week
that nil receipts given, when the amount is $2O
and upwards, require a two cent stamp. Wc have
been asked who is required to affix the stamp
the one who pnya the money or the one who re
ceivp'i it ? The Comniissioner has decided that
the pjerson whb pays the money must furnish the
proper stamp. He says if the perm needs a re
, ceipt “it is necessary for him to furnish the stamp,
or tr stamp the receipt, if required, before it is
signed.. The person who receives the money is
not opli ed to give a receipt unless the other par
ty fui tushes the proper stamp. If a person gives
a receipt without requiring that the party to whom
It is given shall furnish the stamp the' maker of
. the receipt must himself stamp the paper before he
delivers it. If he dobs not, he is liable to the
penal ; y, but the other party may stamp it- imme
diately upon its being received. - ’

iS a day when our citizens generally are free from

spot where rests the remains of sainted loved ones.
Wh' should they be denied the privilege ? They
have paid for the ground, and have the
right to visit it.. Messrs. Directors, let ns have
the gate unlocked on Sunday afternoons, at least,
so that we and our families may gain admittance
to the Cemetery without being, obliged to adopt
the inconvenient (not to say indecent) mode, of
climbing over the fence.

-Messrs. Editors; —lt is just after dress pa
rade and we are privileged to do as we please. 1
have pleased to retire from the throng, and seated
myself in a quiet, spot to enjoy a few moments
alone. My mind, of course, wanders hark to the
friends- ip Altoona, mid I have thought a few lines
from me would not be unacceptable to them.
Our camp is about one mile West of Cham
bersburg, on the County Fair, Grounds, on the
Mercqrsburg Pike, It is not as.pleasant a location
as we could desire, being on The top of a hill,
where the rays of the sun fall upon us with.all
their gloiy and heat, and we have no cool shade
to which we can heat a retreat, except by running
or breaking guard, and you know that would be
unsoldier-like: consequently we must “ grin and
bear it.” lam sorry that we have to complain of
our camp in another particular, viz : scarcity of
water. The boys have had to travel a mile, and
sometimes a mile and a half, to get enough water
to make their cup of coffee, t This fact will re
main as an everlasting stigma upon the character
of the citizens who live in the vicinity of the camp,
as nearly alt of them have kept their pumps and
wells locked with chain and keyj and ut times have
refused to give enongh of water to quench our
thirst.
But enough on the subject of camp. We shall
now try, in few words, to descrilie the “hard
times” we have had since leaving our homes
among you. On leaving Camp Curtin we pro
ceeded direct to Hagerstown—six companies
strong—under command of *Capt. Hall, of Pitts
burgh. We arrived at onr (destination at 10
o’clock on the morning of the*29th of July; and
at once marched to camp, where wo hoped to
enjoy a few boors rest; bnt such a treat was not
in store for us. Scarcely had* we reached camp
ere the order came to secure kU tlje rations we
conld and appear in light marching order imme
diately, as the “Rebs” had crossed the river and
were marching on Hagerstown in heavy force.—
Of course, we expected to seei a fight instanter;
but in this we were disappointed. We were faced
with our backs to the enemy rand commenced a
hasty retreat, which some of its construed into a
grand strategic movement. As wo were in light
marching order, of course otir knapsacks were
left behind; and, to keep them from falling into
the hands of the enemy, they,: together with all
our new clothes and many little keepsakes we had
brought from home, were collected and—burned!
That day we retreated lo Green castle. Here our
company was ordered to picket the Williamsport
bike, thereby preventing us from getting any rest.
Wc fuliyrexpectcd to he attacked during the night,
and had to be on .the alert. Bat the “Rebs” not
making their apjiearance, at sunrise the next
morning we again took up our line of, retreat, and
marched, footsore and weary, ti> a point two and a
half miles south of Chambersburg Here we first
observed huge volumes of smoke rising from the
once beautiful but now desolate;I town of Cham
borshurg. Thp* feelings of' the,] men of our bat
talion were to advance and (drive • the ruthless
idvaders from the soil, qf the Keystone State, but
such a move was deemed unwise by our command
;mg officer, and wc : were marched through fields
jand woods to Fayetteville, making a distance of
fibont eighteen miles. A feW of tire boys gave
out, hut they were found in their places, at roll
call, at terwe had entered camp. ~
At this place our battalion; was organized by
the election of Charles Stewart, Lieut.-Colonel,
End Jacob Szink, Major.' These are the only
officers to which vre are entitled, there being only
six companies. We were marcbecPiuto Cham
borsburg the same day and' went into camp. As
soon as possible I availed myself of an opportu
nity to visit the ruins of the town. Without see
ing for yourselves yon can have no idea of the
desolation. If any man call look upon these
roinsandthep sympathize with the men who caused
them and are trying to crush the Government,
he is unworthy the name of an American citizen,
and should be sent South tp enjoy the society of
McCausland and his batjd. It is impossible'for
me to describe the scene I witnessed, and I shall,
not attempt it.- The loyal citizens of the town
deserve and should receive the sympathy, and aid
of all our people. We are glad to observe that
many of the citizens are again resuming business
and have commenced re-building their rained
properties. The town will prese-ve its name, but
we despair of seeing it (for some years at least.)
as beautiful as it once was.
Our boys are generally in good health, the only
indisposition being diarrhoea, caused by the mis
erable water we are compelled to drink.
[Our correspondent sends us a roll of the com
pany to which the boys from this place are at

The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that subcrip-
Uons will be recfarved for Coupon Treasury Notes, payable
three yean from Aug. 16th, 1864, with semi-annual inter-
eat at the rate cf seven and three-tenths per cent, per
annum,*—principle and interest both to be paid in lawful
money.
These notes will be convertible, at the option of the hold*
er at maturity. injo six per cent, gold bearing bonis, pay*
able not less than five nor more than twenty yean from
their date, as the- Government may elect. They will be
issued in denominations of $5O, $lOO, $5OO, $l,OOO, and $5,
000, and all subscriptions must bei fifty dollars or some
multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation chargee as soon after the receipt of the
original Certificates of Deposit as they can be prepared.
As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons ma-
king deposits subsequent to that date molt pay the inter*
est accrued from the date of note to date of depdsit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and up-
wards for these notes at any time will be allowed a com-
mission of one-quarter of one per ceqt., which will be paid
by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a bill for
the amount, certified to by the officer with whom the de
of interest than aQ? other, and the best security. Any sav-
logs Lank which pays its deposits in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating medium of the
country, and it mnnyt pay in anything better, for its own
assets are either iu government securities or in notes or
bonds parable in government paper*
It is equally convenient as a temporary or permanent
investment. The note? can always !be sold for whhin s
fraction of their foce and accumulated interest, and ate
the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts.
Coaiertible iito a 8u per rat. 5-20 Gold Boat
In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes for
three years, this privilege of Atrversion is now worth about
three per cent, per annum, for (tie currant rate for 5-20
Bond* is not lex* than nine per cent.premium, stud before
the war the premium on six per cent. U. 8. Stocks was over
twenty per cent. It will be seen that the actual profit on
this loan, at the present market rate, is not ies9 than ten
per cent, per annum.
‘IIS EXEMPTION PRO! STATE OR MUNICIPAL TAXATION
But aside from ail the advantage* we have enumerated,
a special Act of Congress exempts all ImiuU and Treasury
notes from local taxation. On the average, this exemption
is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the
rate of taxation in various parts of the country
It is believed that no securities offer so great induce-
ments to lenders us those issued by the government. In
all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of pri
vate parties, or stock companies, or seperatc communities
only, is pledged for payments while the whole property of
the country is held to seenre the discharge of all the obli-
gations of the United States,
While the government offers the most liberal terms fur
its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal will be
to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.—
Tfce party desalting must endorse upon the original cer
tificate the denomination of notes required, and whether
they are to bo issued in blank or payable to order. When
so endorsed it must bo left with the officer receiving the
deposit, to be forwarded to the Treasury Department.
