LOCAL CORRESPOKDEXCE
The Ever Memorable Fourth !---The Way
it was Celebrated in Fairfield.
NEAR FAIRFIELD, HUNTINGDON CO.,
July 8, 1850.
MR. Enrroß:—ln accordance with a meet
ing held in Fairfield, on the` 14th of June, for
the purpose of celebrating that Glorious Day,
the speakers were secured, invitations were
sent to Sabbath Schools and to all persons in
this valley, in due time, and the Grove was
prepared on the Saturday previous. The
sun rose very beautiful and bright on the
morning of the 14th, and the air was cool
throughout the day. At an early hour,
the people began to gather together in crowds,
in town, and at 8 o'clock, the several Sab
bath Schools that were invited, assembled at
the Baptist Church, on the south side or
town, for the purpose of forming into a pro
cession, and there awaited the arrival of -the
Union Guards, of Petersburg, commanded by
Captain Joseph Johnston. This company
formed a short distance below town, and was
marching towards town, when it was met by
the Jackson Guards, of Ennisville, comman
ded by Lieutenant J. 11IcIlroy, (a surviving
officer of the war of 1812..) In the interim,
the Sabbath Schools had marched into town,
and the procession formed us follows :
Ist. The Martial Band and Colors of the
Union Guards. 2nd. The surviving soldiers
of the war of 1812 and the Mexican war.-
3rd. The Speakers, the Reader of the Decla
ration of Independence and the President,
pro kin. 4th. The Union Guards and Jack
son Guards. sth. The Methodist'Episcopal
Sabbath School. Gth. The Cottage and John
ston Sabbath School combined. 7th. The-,
Union Sabbath School of Fairfield, and then
the citizens, who made up the procession.—
It was truly a grand sight, reaching nearly a
quarter of a mile. The whole company then
marched to the Grove, a short distance from
town, on the farm belonging to Mordecai
.Tlenry. The speakers were then taken to
their seats, and the rest were seated in regu
lar and good order, when the performances
for the day commenced. The Celebration
was opened by prayer, by Mr. Thompson,
.after which a hymn was sung by the choir.
The Declaration of Independence, (Alai
has been read on every occasion of this kind
for 83 years, and will be for all time to come,)
was read by a patriotic boy (E. W. Hartman)
of 12 summers, in a loud and clear voice.—
We like to see a patriotic spirit in the young
and rising generation, which we fully saw in
this instance. Mr. Thompson, Professor of
Mooresville Collegiate Institute, addressed
the Sabbath Schools in a very scholastic man
ner, meeting the approbation of all.. We
think he did great honor to himself, and con
gratulate him on his success, and hope the
future may always be as the past.
H. T. White, Esq., of Huntingdon, the
orator of the day, then gave us a very elo
quent oration. We heartly wish Mr. White
success in all his future undertakings, as he
was so successful this time.
It was then after the middle of the day,
and the Sabbath Schools formed in a proces
sion, with the speakers at the head, and the
Military Companies in the rear, and marched
to the dinner table, which the ladies, (God
bless them,) both old and young, notwith
staniling the pressure of the times, and the
damages of the frost, had bounteously spread
with all the, necessaries of. life, and in fax!,
ATTACII'T EXECUTIONS,
EXECUTIONS,
DEEDS,
all the luxuries that the country and farmers'
wives could produce, for this occasion. Din
ner being over, the people again took their
seats, and the Military Companies were ad
dressed by D. J. Neff, Esq., and never have
we listened to a more patriotic and eloquent
speech. It was impossible for some to con
trol their feeling, with regard to his address
to the soldiers. After that speech, the Mar
tial Band gave three hearty cheers, and
played a very lively tune, after which, the
people again formed themselves into a pro
cession and marched back to town, where the
Sabbath Schools were dismissed, and the
Military Companies marched a short distance
below town and amused themselves by going
through the Manual of Arms, loading and
firing, &c., when they were dismissed also.
We congratulate Captains Johnston and
Barr for the orderly conduct, &c., during the
day.
The Celebration being over, people were
seen in every direction, going to their respec
tive homes, having enjoyed. themselves as
well as persons could, at least in appearance.
During the night there was an excellent sup
per served up fur the young ladies and gen
tlemen, by our friend, L. Troutwein, Propri
etor of the Hotel in Fairfield. Such were
the performances of the day.
WHY IS IT?—The students at the Pennsyl
vania Farm School, are required to pay $lOO
each per year, and work three hours per day!
Now, while the broom is "new," it may "sweep
clean," but we' believe, nevertheless, that
these terms are high. After all the aid which
the Farm School has received from without,
it occurs to us, that it might offer its advan
tages to our young men at a cheaper rate.•—
Why should other institutions of learning
under bid it ? Students at the Cassville Sem
inary,•we are told, pay only $lOO or less per
year, and arc not required to work at all.—
Or, if they work "three hours per day,",they
need pay nothing at all! How is it that the
institution fostered by the State, and aided
materially and liberally by numerous phi
lanthropists, cannot compete more success
fully with private enterprise ? We do not
say it has not its full share of students, but
what we want to know is, why they should
be required to pay more than seems necessa
ry. Why is it ? PIII to.
Miss E. M. Hurlbut,Af North Bridge
water, Mass., advertises in the. Journal, that
she will teach several kinds of painting for
s2o,oo—precisely the same are taught at the
Cassville Seminary for about half' the money
($l2)
ller "printed directions" Ought to be sold
very low, if at all, for experience has fully
shown, that, except to those who have bad
practical instruction, such directions are al
most absolutely worthless. Some things,
it is very true, may be learned from books,
but all artists well know, that Painting is not
one of them. Remember that a dollar's worth
of rules is not always a dollar's worth of
knowledge.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
Letter from Nebraska Territory.
COLIT3IIMS, N. T., July 4, 1350
DEAR GLOBE :—As I promised in my last,
I write you, after having received reliable in
formation from the mines. Our latest news
is most encouraging ; recent discoveries have
been made in the mountains, of float and shot
gold. The Rocky Mountain i'Veics, of a recent
date says, that men are making from five, ten,
twenty to one hundred dollars per day. The
editor, W. N. Byers, a man well known in
the Western country, makes the above report
through the 11 7 ms, and adds a post-script, as
suring his friends of the authenticity of the
.report—he having been witness to the large
yields referred to. Yesterday I was informed
that Mr. Byers had recently left Fort Kearny,
on his way fur Omaha. Being desirous to see
him myself, I procured a horse and rode down
the Platte fifteen miles, when I overtook him;
he assured me that the mines are as rich, or
even richer, than herein represented. Men
that have done anything in the way of pros
pecting, are now making fortunes. The ex-,
citement now runs higher than ever. Emi
gration has set in again, and from present ap
pearances, I should say that Western loqa,
and Eastern Nebraska will be almost depop
ulated with the "gold fever." To-day, while
our Peace and Liberty loving citizens were
celebrating the "Fourth" in most approved
Western style, the Eastern mail came in about
twenty-six hours ahead of time. Patriotic
effusions were suspended to ascertain the
cause, the news .proved to be nothing more
nor less, than the pleasing intelligence, that
we should prepare to loose our scalps. The
facts of the ease are simply these : about two
weeks ago, a war party of Sioux, Cheyennes and
A'rapahoes, made a descent on a Pawnees vil
lage, (situated about forty miles west of Oma
ha,) the latter tribe lost everything in the
way of provisions and clothing, also a num
ber of their scalps. The Pawnees have form
ed an alliance with the Omahas, Pancas, and
Yauckton, Sibux, and are in pursuit of their
mutual enemies ; their march is Westward,
and we are expecting them here hourly. They
have been committing depredations on the
Elk Horn river, and on Maple creek, about
fifty miles east of this. An armed force was
sent out from Omaha on Saturday evening
last, to assist the whites, on the Elk Horn,
and in the Platte Valley. Two Indians, sup
posed to be spies, were lodged in jail in Oma
ha; they seemed anxious to leave town ahead
of the armed-force, which excited suspicion.
A company_ of men, well armed, and a Gov
ernment twelve pounder, are on their way
for this place ; they will probably be here to
night. The destitute condition of the Indians
at present, is an excuse for their begging,
but it does not justify murderous attacks,
such as they have lately made. Our town is in
a blaze of excitement; every one is read
ing war news, making cartridges, or cleaning
fire-arms, except myself; but my letter wil l
prove to you, beyond a doubt, that I, too,
have caught the excitement. The General
Agent of the Western Stage company, passed
through here just now on his way to Ft. Kear
ney, for a detachment of troops.
f
Once more, adieu, and if I press o iy
scalp, you will hear from me again. s . ,
for my "shooting stick." Whew! who woul nt
be a Border Ruffian.
THE WAR IN EUROPE
The great battle of SoNrino—Highly Inter
esting Partieuhirs from the Battle Field—
_Letter from H. J. Raymond to the New
_York Times.
CASTIGLIOE, June 24, 1859.
I game from Brescia early this morning,
and arrived just id time to witness the last
half of what I have very little doubt will turn
out to have been the greatest battle the mod
ern world has seen. I cannot describe it
with any precision as yet—for it has lasted
all day, and extended over a circuit of not
less than fifteen miles ; the noise of the can
nonade, and even of the musketry, moreover,
is still in my ears, and none of those engaged
in it, except the wounded have returned to
give us any distinct and connected report.—
But not less than 450,000 men have been en
gaged in it ; and of these not less than 30,-
000—dead or disabled—lie, on this bright,
starry night, upon the bleody field.
The battle commenced at a little before 5 1
o'clock in the morning—not far from sunrise.
Just back of Castiglione rises a high range
of hills—which projects a mile or thereabouts
Ste the plain, and then breaks off towards
the left into a wide expanse of smaller hills,
and so - into the rolling surface which makes
that portion of the plain. The Austrians had
taken position upon these hills, planting can
non upon those nearest to Castiglione which
they could approach, as the French army was
in full force in and around that little village, and
had stationed their immense array all over
the surrounding plain. As nearly as we can - ;
now learn, the Emperor Francis Joseph had
collected here not less than 225,000 troops,
and commanded them in person. His evi
dent purpose was to make a stand here and
risk the fortunes of the war upon the hazards
of the day. Napoleon-promptly accepted the
challenge, and commenced the attack as soon
as it was light this morning, by placing can- 1
non upon the hills nearer to Castiglione than
those held by the Austrians, and opening fire'
upon them on the heights beyond. He took
his own stand upon the highest of these—a
steep, sharp-backed ridge, which commands
a magnificent view of the entire circuit of the
plain, and from that point directed the entire
movements of his army during the early por
tion of the day. The French very soon drove
theenemy out of tie posts they held nearest to .
the town, and followed them into the sma 11 villa
ges of the plain below. The first of these
was Solferino, where they had a sharp and
protracted engagement. The Austrians dis
puted every inch of the ground, and -fought
here, as - they did througoont the day, with.
the utmost desperation. They were three
times driven out of the town, before they
would stay out. The people of the village,
moreover, took part against the French,qtpon
whom they fired from their windows, and the
French were compelled, in self-defence, to
burn the town. When they found it impos- I
sible to hold their ground any longer, they
fell back, slowly and steadily, until they
reached the village of Volta, which, as you,
will sec by -ibe map, lies directly southeast
from Castiglione, and is only about a mile
1 from the river Mincio, from which, however,
it is separated by a range of hills. Upon
these hills, in the rear of the town, and over- '
looking it, completely on the south and south
east sides, the Austrians had planted very form
idablebatteries; and when I arrived upon the
field and went at once to the height where
the Emperor had stood at the opening of the
engagement, but which he had left an hour
before to follow his victorious troops these
batteries were blazing away upon the French
who were stationed on the plain below. I
was too far off to observe with any accuracy
the successive steps of the action, but I could
distinctly see the troops stationed upon the
broad plain, and moving up in masses to
wards the front, where the artillery was pos
ted, as their services were required. But as
soon as they reached this Imint they were
speedily enveloped in the smoke of the can
non, and disappeared from observation. But
the general result was soon made evident by
the slackening of the Austrian fire, and by
the falling back of their smoke and a corres
ponding advance on the part of that which
rose from the French artillery. The cannon
ading at that point lasted for over an hour ;
but in precisely what direction the Austrians
retreated, it was not possible, from the posi
tion I occupied, to see. Part of the Austrian
force probably crossed the Mincio River,
which flows southward from the lower end of
Lake Garda, and empties into the Po.
But the battle continued to rage all over
the region northwest of a line connecting the
towns of Castiglione, Solferino and Volta.—
At one point after another a sharp cannona
ding would arise and continue for half or
three quarts of an hour—and after each suc
cessive engagement of this kind, the result
became apparent in the retreat of the Austri
ans and the advance of the French forces.—
During all the early part of the day the sky
had been clear and the weather hot. But
clouds began to gather at about noon, and at
5 o'clock, while the cannonade was at its
height, a tremendous thunderstorm rolled up
from the northwest; the wind came first,
sweeping from the parched streets an enor
mous cloud of dust, and was soon followed
by a heavy fall of rain, accompanied by vivid
lightning and rapid explosions of rattling
thunder. The storm lasted for about an hour,
and the cannonading, so far as we could distin
guish, was suspended. Then the rain ceased,
the clouds blew away, the sun shone out again.
and the air was cooled and perfectly delight
ful. Though the cannon may have ceased
for a time to take part in it, the fight had
meantime gone on—and when I again re
sumed my post of observation, from which
the storm had expelled me, the cannonading
commenced quite on the extreme left of the
entire field and on the very borders of the
lake, northeast from Castiglione and west of
Pescbiera. The Piedmentese troops, under
the King. who commands them in person,
had been been posted there and received the
Austrians as they came around. From about
7 o'clock until after night-fall, an incessant
and most terrible combat was here kept up.
The batteries of the two armies were appa
rently about half a mile apart—and at the
outset they were both served' with nearly
equal and effective vigor. But the Austrians
gradually slacked their fire and several times
took up new positions—while the Sardinians‘
poured a rapid and uninterrupted shower
Of
balls upon them—suspending only for a few
minutes at a time, and then renewing it again
with redoubled fury. The wind had now
gone down, the air was still, and the sound
of musketry, as well as of the cannon, was
distinctly heard. The former was continu
ous, sharp and incessant, sounding like the
constant and irregular pattering of hail upon
a feel, while the latter was occasionally sus
nended but while it lasted was overwhelming
rand and terrible. Over the Sardinian
park . rose a dense white cloud of smoke, di
rectly up% ::deStts,... sides perfectly upright
and well d• amnsiqsading outward both
ways at the to•;.l . -e ae•eziormous sheaf of
wheat. The sun maki a, glorious set
ting in the west, an is light gradually
departed, the vivid fl, ch discharge
of the cannon gleame t yro 1 the smoke
like sharp lightning through the breast of an
enormous cloud. Sometimes only a single
flash would be seen,. then two or three at
once, and sometirdes half- a dozen would break
forth in instant succession. It was beginning
to be dark when I turned to descend the hill,
and all way the down I still heard the roar of the
cannon and the clattering of the guns of the
infantry. But the Austrians were clearly
falling back, and could scarcely have failed
to sustain a total rout. It is possible they
may be in condition to make one more Strug
gle in the morning; judging from my own
observation, it certainly is not probable.—
They have sustained an overwhelming defeat
and it seems to me not unlikely that the Em
peror may now be induced, by the represen
tations of the neutral Powers, to_ accept the
peace which Napoleon will be very likely to
tender him.
Just before nightfall a tremendous cannon
ading was distinctly visible in the direction
of Mantua, and it was supposed by one or two
French °freers that Prince Napoleon was as
saulting that fortress as part of the genera 4
plan of the day's operations, while the Em
peror was engaging the enemy in the open
field. But I see no reason to suppose that
this is true, as Prince Napoleon could scarce
ly have reached Mantua by this time, as lie
was in Florence only a week ago.
I am afraid*to venture upon any conjecture
as to the number of killed and wounded in
this battle ; but from the nature of the case
it must be enormous. I am. confident that
not less than ten thousand wounded have been
brought into this village alone during the day
—to say nothing of those that were left on
the field or taken to other places. The first
intimation we received of an engagement hav
ing taken place, was from meteing three or
four carts, drawn by oxen, and filled with
wounded—before we reached Montechiaro
on the road from Brescia. As we heard of
no battle, we naturaly supposed that these
.wounds had been received in some skirmish.
Soon after we met a one-horse carriage, in
which was laid at full length on officer of
rank, whose face wore so ghastly a look as to
"make it evident he dying. On reaching
Montechiaro, and stopping for a moment Co
_rest our horses, we were told that a great bat
tle was then going-on in the plain before Cas
tiglione ; and going at once to the summit of
some old fortifications which once defended
the town, we could see with our glasses the
smoke of the engagement.
We lost no time in pushing forward, al
though we were told that we could not reach
Castiglione, because the roads were complete
ly occupied by artillery held in reserve. We
-went on, however, continuing to meet car
riages and carts laden with - wounded, and
passing the French camps of the previous
night, came to a point, at about half a mile
from town, where a park of artillery wagons
was defiling from their camp into the road.
Watching our chances, we drove in between
two of the wagons, and so entered the town
under cover of the enormous cloud of dust
which they raised. The main street was
densely crowded with carts, carriages, horses,
donkeys, oxen, soldiers, suttlers, and persons
and animals of every description. We pushed
our way, without hindrance,• directly past
the house marked as the - Quartier Generale,
or head-quarters of the Emperor, and were
thus within the camp. We had gone but a
short distance when we came to where the
great procession of the wounded was turning
down a cross street to a church which had
been taken for a hospital. It was certainly
the mast dreadful sight I ever saw. Every
conceivable kind of wound which can be in
flicted upon men were here exhibited. All
who were able to do so, were obliged to walk
—the wagons and animals at command being
• all required for those who could not other
wise be moved. Some walked along, their
faces completely covered with blood from sa
bre cuts upon their heads. Many had their
arms shattered—hundreds had their hands
tied up, and some carried most ghastly
wounds upon their faces. Some had tied up
their wounds—and others had stripped away
the clothing which chafed and made them
worse. I saw one man walking along with a
firm step and a resolute ••air, naked to the
waist, and having a bullet wound upon his
side, an ugly gash along his cheek, and a
deep bayonet-thrust, received from behind, in
his shoulder. Most of those who were walk
ing wore a serious look—conversing but little
with one another, though they walked two
and two—and few of them carried upon their
faces any considerable expression of pain.
Those who were more severely injured rode
upon donkeys or in carts—and a few were
carried upon mattrasses on men's shoulders.
But these were mostly officers, and nearly all
I saw carried in that way were so badly
wounded that their recovery is scarcely possi
ble. One had both his legs crushed by a
cannon ball. Another had received a ball in
his thigh, and was evidently suffering the
most intense agony. Many of those whose
wounds were in their legs, wore seated in
chairs swung across a donkey—one being
upon each side. Several who were thus car
ried, and were supported by soldiers walking
by their side, were apparently unconscious,
and seemed to be dying. Then would come
carts, large and small, carrying three, five,
and some of them ten or fifteen each. - A
steady stream of these ghastly victims of the
battle of'he day poured through the town.
I stood in the crowd by the side of them as
the sad procession passed along, and watched
it at this point for over an hour. It was not
interrupted for a moment—except now and
then by a crowd of prisoners—and it contin
ued thus from about 10 in the morning, when
it began to flow, until I left the street, long
after dark. Every church, every large hall,
every private house in the town has been ta
ken for the service of the wounded. Those
whose injuries are slight, after having them
dressed, pass at once into the ranks an min
gle with their comrades. I looked into the
church as I passed by. All the seats, rail
ings, &c., bad been removed ; mattresses of
hay had been spread upon the floor, and were
completely filled with wounded men, in every
stage of suffering and of peril, lying side by
side. The surgeons were dressing their
wounds ; Sisters of Charity and other women
were giving them wine, and otherwise min
istering tb their comfort ; but morning will
dawn upon a large proportion of them re
lieved forever from their pain.
Six or eight times while I stood upon the
street watching the wounded, there came
along squads of prisoners taken at various
stages of the action. Sometimes there would
be only three or four—then twenty, fifty or
a hundred, and in one, company over 400.
They walked closely together, six or eight
deep—the officers being generally in the
middle, and were guarded by a single file of
troops walking on each side. As a general
thing they were not bad looking men. Very
many of them were very young—not over 16,
certainly—and only now and then you would
see a particularly brutal and stupid counte
nance. There was nothing like anger or
shame on their faces ; they seemed generally
wholly indifferent to their position, but looked
about with a. good deal of curiosity upon the.
crowd which surrounded them. They were '
generally silent, though now and then they
would talk and laugh with each other as they
passed along. lMie officers were, with scarce
ly an exception, handsome, manly and intel
ligent fellows. All were without arms.—
The uniform of the men was a very coarse
brown stuff, made of flax, very plain, and
with scarcely any attempt at ornament. To
wards night, carts began to come in laden
with wounded Austrians, hundreds of whom
passed along while I stood there, and were
taken directly to the hospitals, where they
received precisely the same treatment as the
French. Most of them seemed to be very
badly hurt. Among the number, both of
the wounded and the prisoners, were many
Hungarians.
The town to-night, as might be expected,
is simply a camp. The streets which are
narrow are crammed with artillery and pro
vision wagons trying, almost in vain, to make
their way through time town ; bivouac fires
light up the orchards and fields all around
the village; two streams of troops pour out
on the two roads leading to the field of battle,
extending as far as the eye can reach ; sut
lers, fruit peddlers, and small dealers of ev
ery kind circulate among the soldiers who
crowd the streets ; an immense train of Pied
montese artillery are brought to a stand in
the street while, trying to make through the
town to their places of encampment ; and
thousands of French infantry, despairing of
reaching their tents, have seated themselves
upon the narrow side-walks, and with the
house-walls fur a back and their haversacks
for ifillows, they have addressed themselves
in that position to the labor of obtaining a
night's rest. It is a striking scene most cer
tainly, and the most wonderful part of it is
the perfect order and good behaviour of the
troops. I have not seen during the whole
day, a single, instance of disorder, or oven of
rudeness, in word or deed from any'soldier.—
Not one have I seen in the slightest degree
intoxicated ; not one have I seen shouting or
singing; not a rough or rude remark have I
seen or heard addressed to any one, nor have
I failed, in a single instance, whenever I
have applied to a soldier for information or
addressed him on any subject whatever, to
receive a courteous reply and the most po
lite endeavor to aid my wishes. Nor have I
heard a single cheer over the victory, or a
single syllable of exultation over the prison
ers as they come in. The most respectful
silence has in every case been preserved.—
Expressi'ons of sympathy with the wounded
were constant, and prompt attention, so far
as possible, was always given to their wants.
Private property in the town, so far as I can
see, has been treated with perfect respect.—
In selecting fields for the camp, those which
will be injured by it least, seem uniformly to
be chosen. Bakers' shops, and groceries,
with cheese, bacon, suasages, &c., freely ex
posed, are open, and I have repeatedly seen
soldiers bargaining for supplies at their win
dows. But I have heard of no instance and
seen no indication of the slightest interfer
ence with private property. Yet there is no
great rigor of discipline enforced—for the
soldiers seem to be quite at their ease and
wander about town very much at their own
discretion. • 11. J. It.

IsEnzz," the most remarkable medicine of the day, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS DE- -
BILITY, and disClt , eB arising from a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among-the most astonishing discoveries .
Hatt have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their own families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public coninvndation. It is a fact that, in the .
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
arc called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes
timony to support it as Midland's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribeit, Why should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not you? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to
the everlasting injury of your health ; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son, No. 418 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America,
at 78 cents pegl'hottle. See that the signature of C. M.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.
