The Adjutant General recommends the estab
)>liiuent ol an Encampment at or near the City
~,1" Lancaster, to include the uniformed militia
ol the Ist, 21, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th and 7tli Divisions ;
one at or near Northumberland, to include tbe
{•th, 9th and 10th Divisions ; one at or near

or near Grcensburg, to include the 17th and 18th
I);visions.; and one at or near Meadville, to in
clude the 19th and 2Uth Divisions. The time for
poll -bould be fixed by the general officers of
the several Divisions, and should succeed each
uiber regularly, so that the camp equipage ntay
always be in readiness. The troops at encamp
ment : except oflicer.s} should be paid at lite rate
el ?1 s'i per day for each day actually on duty
jt ramp, and oe allowed 10 cents a mile for each
mile actually travelled in goiug to or returning
irom camp. °
la Massachusetts the uniformed militia are
paid, and the system works admiiably.
In .New \ ork the officers, non-commissioned
r dicers, musicians and privates, of any cavalrv
, r artillery company, receive $1 per day, for
each horse actually used by them at any annual
j evade or encampment.
hi Massachusetts the following liberal terms
are allow ed to every officer and member of vol
unteer companies: for the May inspection, one
dollar and fifty cents per day, and for each day's
G'uty in camp tiro dollars and fifty cents ; every
i eld officer and general officer of line or stalf,
ami every officer in the stall' of regiment three
dollars per day ; the members of the Regimental
or Battalion bands at the rate of three dollars per !
1 he Adjutant General repeat* the recommen
dation he made last.year, that the Adjutant
Irene ral be required to discharge the duties of
Inspector General.
No company should be paid, whose muster
roll did not show that two thirds of the men
were present under arms at the two trainings
required by law, nor unless the state of disci
pline was satisfactory to the inspecting otlicer.
The Adjutaut General transmits a list of the
General Field and Staff Officers of the several
divisions, regiments and battalions, and a state
ment of regiments, battalions and companies, i
with the number of ncic companies organized j
within the past year, which are as accurate as J
the imperfect returns will enable them to be j
made; also an inventory of the arms, &c., in j
each of the Slate Arsenals, with the number I
uad kind of arms issued within the past year.
T he .Superintendent of the Philadelphia Ar
-cnal should be authorized to employ an assist- '
unt at tiie rate of §s per month. The salary of
ike Superintendent (§200) is altogether inade
quate, the duties being laborious.
The Adjutant General presses upon the Le
gislature the necessity of attaching to his office
a clerk. His correspondence is very great, as
ctSeers of every grade are continually writing
<_r instruction and information.
liy transferring the preparation and issuing of ,
Military Commissions and other strictly military
.sines* to the Adjutant General's office, the i
State Department would be relieved from a
ress of affairs with which it should have no di
me: connection.
The Adjutant General has compiled a milita
ry code for the use of uniformed militia, and ;
vol report the same early in the session of the
Legislature.
Several States are moving on the subject of
establishing State Military institutes. In Vir

t.iee Military Schools have been very success-
Mi. West Point can no longer supply the vast

at some length of the advantages of an Institute
of the kind referred to, arid respectfully call*
the attention of the Executive and Legislature
'this most interesting and important subject.'

From California,
By an arrival at New Orleans on the j

embraces all the news of interest;
SAN FKANCISCO, Dee. 1, 1811).
The canvass of votes cast at the state

No disturbance of any kind had occur- j

The growth of this city is still without
parallel even in the records of magic. It
now numbers twenty thousand regular in
habitants, to say nothing of the vast num

(Commerce with other ports is growing
more and wore active, and the hay no

The last of the overland emigration that

1 hose emigrants \v !io came by the

who came by the way of Samson's

L-'Ur. tvuj, a sufficient party and all
needful supplies, left Sacramento City for

The rainy season lias set in and has
made the ground among the mines, as well

FOREIGN NEWS.
I The steamship Canada, with two weeks j
later intelligence from Kurope, has arrived
; at New York.
Cotton, with an improved feeling, has
; advanced one quarter of a cent per pound
j in the Liverpool market.
| The Corn market, with a moderate tone,
I has somewhat improved.
Besides the following items the news !
j is unimportant:
Accounts from Vienna and Berlin, of the ;
22d ult., state that a rebellion of a most j
formidable character had broken out m |
j Servia, in Sclavcnia, arid the military J
boundaries are up in arms against the :
Austrian Government.
It is said that Russia lias been intrigu
ing to get up this insurrection, in order to
i have both Austria and Turkey entirely
dependent upon her. The proof is that
Russian agitation is daily growing more
! "pen and daring, and the incredible artivi- '
; ty ot the agents of that power leads to the
1 conclusion that a sanguinary entanglement
; will speedily break out between Russia
; and Turkey.
The Prince of Scriia has already re
fused to pay the tribute due to the Porte,
j of 34,000 ducats, and the arming of all
j male adults is being carried on with the I
I greatest possible activity, without any one j
I knowing where the arms come from,
i The death of George Washington La
i Fayette, son of Gen. L., is announced by
i letters from Paris. He accompanied his
; father in the final \isitto the United States, !
i and deservedly shared the manifestations
' and regards of the American people. In
all the relations of life, he enjoyed the
warmest esteem in France; he never 1
1 swerved from his republican principles and |
the example of the illustrious parent. His j
j dissolution took place at Lagrange, the (
family seat.
BOOKS! BOOKS!!
We noticed last week that Mr. MURRAY, of
the firm of Judd & Murray, Lancaster, had
; opened a very superior stock of books at the
old stand of J. & J. Milliken, which he is dis
posing of at very low prices. Mr. M. being
regularly engaged in this business, is not open to
the exceptions generally taken to book pedlais,
who so often impose on the public. Among his

htOSOßl',*-Tlic aniountof money deposited
j in the Savings Bank of Great Britain is over
! -1,000,000 sterling, or more than one hundred
i Millions oj dollars ! This is an enormous amount
, ot money, and is the savings of many who have
; labored hard, and by pursuing a habit of strict
economy they have succeeded in maintaining
| themselves handsomely, and laid up a compe-
I tency tor old age. The question then arises,
i what is true economy ? In the exercise of econ
omy it is essential to have good judgment—a cor
rect notion of matters and things. Every indi
| vidual has in the course of a life time to purchase
I a large amount of goods, even if for his or her
own support, merely. It will, in the course of
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then the
way to practice economy in this respect is to
buy for CASK, as it is very dangerous to go in
debt, particularly with the storekeepers. Buy
for CASH, and buy always GOOD GOODS, and at the
lowest prices ; and to enable the public to get
goods of every grade and quality, at the lowest
possible prices that they can be sold over the 5
eost of manufacturing, C. L. JONES is conduct- ,
ing a large establishment on trie CASH SYSTEM,
and his business has uow grown to such an enor
mous extent that he buys nearly all his guod= i
directly of the importers and manufacturers for I
cash, and sells them at the smallest considerable
profits, and in this way he is enabled .o sell his !
goods at least TWENTY EF.K C-.NT. lower than all j
other merchants. Let any one make a calcula
tion of the amount ol" goods they would proba- i
bly buy in one year, and they will find that 2D j
percent, or one-fifth ol" the amount would be a I
considerable item. Let this run on for some
ayd they will have a sum saved in amount !
ol no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, as '
well as by the public generally, thatC. L. JONES 1
has the largest and best selected stock of goods '
ever shown before in Lewistown, and that he j
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than any '
other merchant—bis business being so large and i
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur- !
chase goods for CASH will soon be convinced of '
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated \
•\' IR Cheap Cash Slort of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
Great Britain, the amount cf savings might be
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the
estimate made.
