AMERICAN VOLUNTEER. OABtiSLE, JUNE 8, 1864. Fabhubs’ High SonooL.-r-Tho Trustees of the proposed "Formers’High School of Penn* eylvania,” will meet at Harrisburg on Tuesday tho 13th of June, on business connected with their appointment. * Dixy Goods, &c. —We invite the attention of the reader to tho store advertisementsin another tolumn, of Mr. 0. Ooilby, of East High street, and Mr. Philip Arnold, of North Hanover tetreet. It will be seen that each of them has large assortments of every description of spring fend summer goods, which will be disposed of at greatly reduced prices. Refer to their ad vertisements. The Crops. —The crops probably never pre sented a finer appearance than what they do at this time, and tho prospects of an abundant harvest are very flattering. The wheat crop in this county is unusually promising, and indi cates an abundant reward for tho labors of tho husbandman. Equally promising arc all the tother grains, audit is the opinion of experienced Tanners that tho yield this year will be a very heavy one, and of a superior quality. From all sections of the country we bear the same favor able reports. With such bright prospects, we think tho price of breadstuff* cannot much lon ger remain at the high figure at which they now Ore. There must tc a decline, and that speedily. Tub Fourth of July. —Already, in some of Vbo neighboring towns, movements are being made having for their object a proper obser vance of tho coming National Anniversary. This is right, and evinces.a'patriotic spirit, and it is to bo hoped that the citizens of Carlisle will imitate tho example. The seventy-eighth year of American Independence will be completed on tho coming fourth of July, and wc think our people should not permit tho day to pass over Without having a celebration of some kind. It is a day sacred to us all, and lias been appro priately called tho National Sabbath of America. As wo had no celebration last year, wc hope our friends will take tho matter in lumd, and make an effort to have an appropriate one on the coming Fourth of July. Tub Water Works. —The managers of the Carlisle Gas and Water Company are making great exertions to have these works completed at as early a day as possible. Quite a number of workmen arc now engaged upon them, and we learn that many more could find employ ment- They are now digging the trenches, blasting rock, laying the pipda, Ac., on South Hanover street, making the town justoow pre sent a very busy aspect. We are not able to say at what period tho works will be finished, but when they are, we would suggest the pro priety of celebrating the completion of so great a work by a dinner and other public demon strations. The introduction of a plentiful sup ply of water into the borough will be an event interesting to us all, and we hope it will be celebrated in an appropriate manner. Military Election. —On Monday lost, the s:h instant, the Uniformed Companies attached to the Ist Brigade, 15th Division, met at their respective Head Quarters, for the purpose of electing a Brigadier General, Brigade Inspector, Ac. We have not as yet received the returns from any of the country companies. In Car lisle, we learn, the vole was unanimous in favor ofCapt. David Wherry, of Newborg, for Brig adier General, and Col. Samuel Cuor, of Car lisle, for Brigade Inspector. It is believed these gentlemen have-been elected to the offices for which they were candidates without serious op position. The re-election of Col. Crop as Bri gade Inspector shows tliat his fellow soldiers have undiminished fconfidenec in his integrity and ability, aud is a compliment well deserved, and of which he may justly be proud. Wo will probably bo able next week to publish the full official returns. Major General.— In another column, will be found tho “Card" of Brigadier General Ed ward Armor, of Carlisle, asking those of his old companions in anus as arc entitled to vote, for their support and influence for the office of Major General. TlicdistrigLhtcomposed of the counties of and Terr). Qcn. Armor is a veteran soklier, having served in every grade, from tho station of a camp boy up to that of General. During the war of 1812, when but a boy, lie faithfully served his country on the Northwestern frontier, and was esteemed a gallant soldier. IJjs services in tho “tented field” give him strong claims upon tho military electors for their suffrages for tho honorable station to which ho aspires. Wo hope ho may bo elected, knowing as wo do that he will make a most excellent Major General. For the honor of tho Division they should elect him, for sol diers are nothing without armor! Tho Industrial Fair at Kcwvillc. The Industrial Fair wliich is to bo held in Newvillo, in this county, undor the supervision of tho “Big Spring Literary Institute,”• will commence on Monday next, the 12th instant, and is expected to continue open for about two weeks. It is believed that this Exhibition will bo a very interesting affair, as tasteful and useful contributions, of various descriptions, have already been sent and arc still pouring in from all quarters of this and tho surrounding counties, tho managers of tho Cumberland Val ley Railroad having kindly permitted all such articles intended for exhibition to pass over the road, to and from tho Fair, free of charge. Tho Literary Society, under whose auspices this enterprise will be conducted, is said to bo in a very flourishing condition, and is one of tho beat in tho county. Wo hopo tho citizens of Carlisle will aid and countenance so praise-wor thy an object, and as it will bo a first attempt in this section of country, tho proposed Indus trial Fair should bo well sustained. Newvillo is a very pretty place, within a stone’s throw of tho Railroad, and all who visit tho Fair will receive from its hospitable citizens a kind and cordial welcome. ttT* Wo learn from the 44 Perry Freeman,” that the Methodist Episcopal Quarterly Meeting on the Bloomfield Circuit, which commenced on Friday evening the 20th ult.,closed on Monday evening the 29th \ and during its continuance the church in Bloomfield was well filled with attentive hearers, and, indeed, sometimes the house was quite crowded. The Presiding El der 1 of tbo Carlisle District, A. Ruesb, was present till Monday morning, his elo quent and deeply impressive discourses attract ed many, and gained for him many worm ad mirers, ELECTION 'OP COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. ’ On Monday last, the sth instant, the School Directors of-tho different School Districts, of Cumberland county/ jsith tho exception of those of Carlisle/who bad no voico in tho matter, as sembled in Education Hall, in this borough, and after organizing, proceeded to ballot for candi dates for ‘tho office of County Superintendent, to serve for tho term of three years. At first, a good deal of excitement was manifested, and tho friends of tho different aspirants were zealous in urging upon tho members of tho Convention tho claims.and qualifications of. their fa vorites. The names of quite a largo number of gentlemen were presented to tho Convention, all of whom, wo believe, were experienced and practical teachers, and some of them men of well known literary and scientific attainments. Tho m eagerness, however, of the compensation fixed by the Convention, only S5OO a year, in duced tho greater portion of the applicants to withdraw altogether from the contest, and»rcn dered others comparatively careless as to the result. On the third ballot, Mr. Daniel Shel ley, of Shircmanstowh, was declared to have been duly elected, and we have no doubt that 0. A. Black, Esq., the State Superintendent of Common Schools, will without hesitation com mission him. We are personally unacquainted With Mr. Shelley, but learn from those who know him well, that ho is a gentleman of most excellent character, of pleasing address, posses sed of a good education, and that ho has for a number of years been acceptably employed as a tcaohcr in different parts of the county. We think, in common with a great number of the citizens of tho county, that the compen sation fixed upon by the Directors for this offi cer, is altogether inadequate, and not at all commensurate with tho important and respon sible duties he will be called upon to perform. We hope, if it cau possibly be done, the Direc tors will re-consider their resolution, and in crease the salary of this officer to at least $7OO a year. WM WILL DMEBSTiKD IT! Tho following lines, received through tho Post Office a few days since, wo publish for the bene fit of the bdUs of our borough. Whether the poetry is original or selected, wo cannot say; but wo do sincerely trust tho “sweet pretty damsel” alluded to, will attend to “the hole in tho bool of her stocking.” There’s a sweet, pretty damsel that trips round our street, With ft lip that at sorrow scorns always a mock ing; Any bright, sunny day, if lids fair one you mod. She’ll bo known by the bole in tho heel ot her stocking. Her hair it is golden—her eyes, I think, blue. And her foot is so short that it docs not need docking ; Her bust is perfection—hut—shudder—’tin true. There's a frightful great hole In the heel of her slocking. When I saw her first at Mrs. Thlngumbod’s rout, Like a patent forge-hammer my heart was a knocking; But when 1 turned round as she passed, I cried out, Ye Gods on Olympus!—a hole in her stocking ! Tho next time I mot her, tho sweet little dear Was close u> her lover, thelrarms Interlocking; I was chill’d to tho heart, and shed many ft tear, Fur that horrid great hole in the bool of her stocking. Oh ! would she were minis! if it made me a corse, I would purchase a bumllo of some kind of bucking,— I’d sit cross-legged a month, or ride tbo Bronze Horse, Till 1 botch’d up thut-holo in the heel of her stocking. Ah! sweet one! enough are the woes of each diiy T<» stir up this noddle, and set it a rocking; But If not lor my Hake, for charity's, pray Buy h noodle, and dam up that hole in your slocking. Courteous. — President Fierce invited Fx- President Fiu.more to visit Washington on his way North, tendering to him tho hospitalities of the White House. We like to hear of such things, as they prove that whatever bitterness and rancor may animate the minds of men os politicians, as gentlemen they cannot forget the amenities and kindnesses due one another in so cial life. Instances similar to the above would be accounted wonderful, if not miraculous, in any other than Uncle Sam's dominions; hut ho is a character that delights in original inven tions, and docs uot ask for “ precedents.”— “ All tho world and the rest of mankind” had better become acquainted with this speedily, for “ manifest destiny” points out an exciting future in his career. Nebraska. —Thu German emigrants arc pour ing into Nebraska in crowds. Seven hundred and thirty passed through Cincinnati one* day last week, on their way to tho Territory. With such emigration, and tho question of slavery left free to tho inhabitants of the Territory, there will be but little chance of the “peculiar institution” extending itself into the new Ter ritories. Florida Lands in Market. —The Tampa Herald states that, at the request of the Wav Department, orders for the survey of a largo district of country below the Worth Boundary of 1842, have been issued by the Secretary of the Interior. Tho country will bo forthwith surveyed and opened for settlement as fur south os the southern border of Lake Chcechokcc, and running along the Gulf Coast to Pea river, ex cluding all the Sea Islands in Charlotte’s Har bor, &c. D7*A frightful accident occurred near Rural Village, Armstrong county, last week. Mr. Benjamin Schrccongost was riding along the road on horseback, having a small child in his arms, and two children seated on the horse be hind him, when a largo decayed tree was blown down by a blast of wind, a projecting branch of which struck him on the back of his head, crushing his skull and killing him instantly.— The child was so badly crushed, between his bodynnd the shoulders of tho horse, that it died in three hours afterwards. Neither the two children, Mrs. S., who was walking by tho side of tho horse, flor the horse, were injured. It is one of the disadvantages of tho co-operation of tho English with thcFrcnch troops in tho East, thatosonsoofdelicacy,compels thoßritish to veil tho regimental devices which they earned in tho great war in thePcninsula and tho Netherlands, lest they should outrago tho feelings of their comrades. Tho Scot’s Grays are greater suffer ers by their Waterloo distinctions than any other corps, for It has caused them to ho kept back altogether. They are literally covered witli souvenirs of Waterloo, and must have al tered their uniform entirely if they had been sent tj the East. The Indian War'in New Mexico—Operations ol Col.

Cooke, with nearly 200 men, had boon following the frail of the Apaches foraome days on the west side of the Rio del Norte, now and then obtaining information. From Ojo Culicnto, where last heard from, ho marched in n northwest direction, until tho afternoon of the-Sth Inst., when lie came in sight of the en emy’s camp. It was almost a surprise, ns he .got very near them before lie was discovered. They had only time to send off their women ond children ond part of their baggage before tho troops were down upon them.** They immediately took post In a very strong and almost inaccessible mountain position j but tho troops bravely charged them, drove them from it, and pursued them for about h mile and a halt, fording a difficult stream, passing over a very broken country, and keeping up a running tight. All the lodges and camp cquippages, a largo quantity of provisions, and many of the horses of tho enemy fell into the hands of the troops: and they also left behind a number of llrSmTulNind equipments lately captufcd ntCio neguillfl, whichwero recovered by Col. Cooke. Six dead Indians were found on the OcM, but It is not known whether they sustained any fur ther loss. Of the troops one roan was killed— private Casey, Company G, First Dragoons, and one man of the Second Artillery severely woun ded. Tho day of the fight, tho troops marched through snow two feet deep, and it was also snowing some ut the time. Major Carleton, wilh a reinforcement, joined Col. Cooke about an hour after the battle, and will unite with him in the further pursuit of tho enemy. Since tho action of the 6th inst., Col. Cooke nnd his command have been in active pursuit of i he enemy, whom they pressed so hard that they were obliged to seperate into small parties to save themselves. They led the troops over the most Inaccessible Country in Kew Mexico, with snow in some places three feet deep; uud Kit Knrson, who is thftir guide, says it Is the rough est country ho had ever seen. Tho Indians have sull'ered very much, and their baro foot prints were seen In the snow. When the Indians appended they took a di rection southwest, and it is supposed they will attempt to nmko their way to the southern part of the Territory. The troops were expected to reach Abhpiln on the ovenlngof the 18th, whore they would wail further orders; and a supply of provisions left Santa Fe, on Friday morning. the Hth, for that place under an escort of dru goona, commanded by Lieut. Garland. From Indications, it is supposed the Mescalero Apach es have joined the Jicftrillna and have been present nith them during tho campaign. issonlt upon the rouiuc! of Butns--Thc Bos- (on Riot.

Gwin —My hear Sir: — Your kind letter dated at Washington, April 28, ia received and now before me,and although unable to wield my pen, hasten to reply to it. It is the day of vituperation and slander, and you, #ko all other public men, must expect your share. I trust my character is too well known to believe that I would ever abandon a friend; ,pho once had my confidence and esteem, without positive proof that ho had done some act suffi cient to forfeit it. I have been your friend, I am so still, as I was your venerated deceased father’s and brother’s, whose memories I cher ish with tho liveliest recollection. I have full confidence in your patriotism and Democratic principles ; and you possess too much honesty and moral worth, and those high, lofty, and honorable feelings, ever to permit you to do an act dishonorable, or such as would tarnish that good moral character wliich you brought into life with you, and have sustained to this pres ent day. I am, as I have ever been, your friend ; and my best wishes for your prosperity and happi ness, and that of your family will atttend you through life; and if wo should not meet here again below, I hopo to meet you in a blissful immortality. My whole household salute yon aud yours. Your sincere friend. ANDREW JACKSON. California and tho Democratic Press, Tho necessity of a thorough democratic paper In California has long been felt, not only by the democrats of that State, but by those at a dis tance who desire to see the sentiments of tho masses, as they are really /olt and expressed.— Tim masses in California are democratic, but, as usual, commerce generally controls tho press of tho cities. Wo have been regularly recelviog tho Pacer Times and Transcript, published by Georgo Kerr & Co. at San Francisco, and can not too highly compliment tho manifest energy and enterprise of tho editors, and tho boldness and ability with which they defend democratic principles. Ardently devoted to tho broad and progressive policy of tho administration of Pres ident Pierce, It entitles Itself to admiration and confidence by tho force and fearlessness of its views on all groat questions. California Is tho offspring of tho forecast, tho statesmanship, and tho advanced views of tho democratic party bn tho territorial question, and wo are. roloiccd to see that her democracy are awoke to too Impor tance of preserving and perpetuating power iu their own hands.-t-Waih.
