LOCAL AFFAIRS.
SUDDEN DEATH. —Jacob Mutthers
ioutrb, Esq., formerly SlierifT of Mifflin
county, aud of late years proprietor of the
f'nioii House, was found in his bedroom
almost lifeless on Thursday morning last,
before any measures could be adopted
(or his restoration had breathed his last.
Mr. M was well known in this county, and
highly respected as a man and a citizen.
His lady was absent in the country at the
time. His remains were interred on Sun-
Jay afternoon in thu presence of many
\a-eping relatives and a large number of
-ympathizing friends.
ANOTHER. —John Walters, Esq., an old
citizen of AlcVeytown, died suddenly,
probably from palpitation of the heart, on
Friday evening last, while attending to a
Sib basket in the river. It was generally
reported that he had been drowned, but
uch we learn was not the ease.
alarm of fire was sounded on
Sunday evening last, caused by the burn
ing of a foul chimney at the residence of
Jas. Burns, Esq. For a short time the
building was considered in danger, but a
prompt supply of water in buckets soon re
lieved all apprehension. The fire depart
ment was out, but as usual hardly in lit
condition for service. We believo the
liurgess and Town Council would save
money by p tying, say four men for each
n-'ine house, about a dollar u month to
O '
keep the apparatus iu older.
803,110 V. Mr. Fleck and lady wore sud
denly culled away o;i Thursday morning
by news that Mrs. F's mother, whom she
had loft but a few weeks ago in fair health,
was dangerously ill
fcyTorrents of rain, accompanied with
heavy blows of wind, were experienced in
this county on Friday afternoon and even
ing last. The streams rose bank full—
many trees and fences were blown down,
and whole fields of corn prostrated. Be
ui this however we hear of no serious
damage.
4tifA public meeting WUJ held in the
i 'wn Hall on Monday evening to consider
hie propriety of furnishing blankets for
;,.e ipe of Camp Curtin, but the majority
thought the State ought to provide the ar
eie by paying .-uch prices as would retiu
- crate the manufacturers.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
CAMP JUNIATA, Sept. 27, 1861.
Editor.-- As the facilities fur writing
o caiup are nuw of the best, permit me to
*frp the friends of the Keystone Band and
• I'd. Irwin'a Regunent posted through
Jar columns iu regard to our locality and
- v incidents which may transpire. The
-Gil thankfully acknowledges the receipt of
'fral boxes of luxuries, while encamped
Uarrisburg, from the ladies of Newton
• 'Uintort and Lewistown. Each box was
"j ;Te( l w ith a rousing cheer and blessings
• me fair donors. Our regiment left liar
|';', ur 8 , on the 21st day of this month in
G' l spirits, and were received along the
• ute by the most intense enthusiasm- As
as we came within sight of the Penn
vania and Maryland line, the soldiers sent
-> •* shuut that made the welkin ring. From
particular point uncle Sam lias stationed
■'l b ?7 8 approximate to each other —increas-
es in number to Baltimore—to look after
bridges, &c., of which, Mr. Editor, (as
tC ! UTti °^ tea travelled the road) you know
en>!° are a B reat number. There is a large
ea£!S Plne °t at Cockeysville. Nothing oc
■V u to B Plrit the troops until wo arrived
a ij e . neighborhood of Mt. Washington,
at t miles from Baltimore, where an &c
-it occurred which cast an inexpressible
train 11 ,° VVert . t ! 10 whole regiment. The rear
. . containing part of our regiment, com
; G' J g eleven .cars, ran into the rear car of
j D r r train, having on board the remain
k o ° rt 'r a reg'®ent, almost instantly
p' ' n ? <t°hn Fulton, 20 years of age, and
on . , ar ker, aged 24 years of age, both
cjl<; arr ' Centre county, Pa. Several
wer e also slightly injured. The car
run into was thrown across ihe
track over a culvert in such a position that
Lai it been removed one foot further, nearly
the whole of Lnpt. Neiee 4 company ivuui i
have been precipitated moi the cohort >1 -lis
tance of from IK u. tbet, ami n.-tiilug
could have prevented ti,o destructi u - l tuo
car and the loss U many lives. Capt. N. re
j ceived a severe contusion on the nose, but it
is now well. The verdict of the jury was
• that the above persons came to their death bv
mismanagement on the part of the managers
of the Northern Central Railway. This uunj
be true, but the statement of many soldiers
jon the train make the verdict of the jury
look a little "fishy," The fact is, Johnston,
the engineer of the train which ran into us.
: was heard to remark that he vruuld " prick
the wool out of their (our) ears before we
reached Baltimore,' and as near as we can
judge he ran into us at the rate of thirty
miles per hour. lie is openly accused of be
' a secessionist, ami persons living near
! the scene of disaster assert that it was a wil
ful act on the part of Johnston. We do not
wish to charge Johnston falsely, but the word
of men living where the accident occurred,
and the assertions of men belonging to the
regiment are entitled to some credit at least,
the engineer was found 3UO yards from the
scene of the disaster with 011 c leg broken and
the foot of the other horribly mangled by the
cars. lie attempted t-> escape, but justice
overtook him before lie did so. lie has since
had his leg amputated, but will doubtless
die. The fireman stuck to the engine and
did all in his power to prevent the accident.
He received no injury. We arrived in Wash
ington at 2 o'clock P. Al. on Sun-lay, and
were invited to take supper at the Soldier's
lletreat, a large building erected by the Gov
eminent for that purpose near the railroad.
A tin of very had coii'ee, a large piece of
bread and a corresponding quantity of pork
comprised the meal. The building is well
named, as we were anxious to "retreat" from
it as soou as possible to camp, where we were
provided with excellent rations and plenty of
them. We had good food in Camp Curtin,
but here we get a greater variety and more
of it. Our Colonel (W. 11. Irwin) is a strict
i disciplinarian, and permits no man to ne
gleet his duty as a soldier. By this means
our regiment is rapidly becoming proficient
in drill, and ere long will rank with regulars
jin everything military. Our Colonel treats
i ns all kindly and impartially, aud commands
j the respect and esteem of the whole regi
- merit. You may depend upon it when he
I leads them to a brush with the enemy they
will make a mark that our State v-ill be
1 proud of. We (the writer) visited the city
| yesterday to hear an oration by Dr. McCoy
on the present state uf the Union. It was a
fine production, and his bursts of eloquence
elicited rounds of applause. We observed
the smiling face of Uncle Abe in the audi
ence, who appeared to take great interest in
the remarks of the speaker. As the mail is
about closing I will bid you adieu for the
present, but will give you a description of
matters in general in my next. C. C.

A Tragedy and a Fatal Blunder.
Darsestuwn, Sept. 2d. —A tragical occur
rence transpired near this village yesterday,
in tlie Pennsylvania 4.01h regiment. Colonel
Knipo, un tlieir way to join General Banks'
column. In the regiment is a company com
posed principally of irishmen, who have
i given the commander much trouble. When
1 near Muddy llun two of the men got en- ;
gaged in a fight, and one of them named '
Lauahan, of company I. a very had charac- j
ter, was by order of Major Arnold 0. Lewis
tied to tha rear of a baggage wagon. After
! proceeding about a mile it was reported to :
i Major Lewis that Lannhan was at large
j with a loaded gun in his hands. The Major,
accompanied by Assistant Surgeon W. Chas. ;
Rogers, rode towards Lanahan and ordered
him to give up the gun. Lanahan refused,
and while the Major was iu the act of get- i
1 ting off his horse to enforce his order, Lana
iiam retreated a few paces, took deliberate j
aim, and shot the Major in tlie back with a
ball and three buckslßt. The latter fell and
expired in three minutes without uttering a ;
word. Lanahan was secured, and the body
of the unfortunate oibcer was placed in a
j wagou and guarded to the camp. Lanahan
I is now in the hands of the Provost Marshall,
j and will be tried by a drum head court, prob
ably to day. The murderer is a resident of
j Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Major Lewis was thirty two years of age,
was married about a year ago, and leaves a
, wife but no children. He served in the
Mexican war, and on the breaking out of the
present rebellion was editing the Catasaqua
j (Lehigh county) Herald, which occupation
ihe resigned to enter the army. lie was
dearly beloved by the whole regiment, and
! his death hangs like a pall upon the spirits
j of his associates.
I Melancholy Catastrophe—Another Blunder—
Colonel Owen's Regiment Fires on Baker's
j and Baxter's Regiments.
I The advance of General Smith on Falls
I Church from the Chain Bridge was attended
by events cd' the most deplorable character,
j Having passed Vanderwercker's and Vander
berg's booses on their way to the former
place, and when about half a mile from it,
j by some unaccountable blunder Col. Owen's
Philadelphia Irish Regiment, iu the darkness
of the night mistaking for rebels Captain
; Mutt's battery, which was in the adavnee,
sustained by General Baker's California Reg
iment, Col. Baxter's Philadelphia Fire Zou
aves, and Col. Friedman's Cavalry, fired a
full volley into the troops last mentioned,
killing and wounding a large number. The
California regiment, not knowing whence
the firing came, returned it with marked ef
fect. The horses attached to JJott's battery
became unmanageable, and the tongues of
j the caissons were broken owing to the nar
rowness of the road. Lieut. Bryant, having
command of the first section, ordered the
guns to be loaded with grape and cannister,
aud soon had them in to rake the sup
posed enemy, when word was sent to him
that he was iu the company of friends. All
was excitement, and a long time elapsed be
fore the actual conditien of affairs was ascer
tained and confidence re established. Many
confused stories prevail as to the parties ou
whom the blame should rest.
Rial of Killed and Wounded.
The killed of Capt. Mott's battery is Tim
othy Ray.
i Corporal Bartlett and private
Cilley, both of whom will probably die, as
they were not only run ever by the gun car
riages, but were trampled on by the cavalry
horses.

The European Coalition Against Mexi- !
eo —Reported Approval of Foreign In- !
tervention by the Mexicans.
[From tlte London Times, Sept. 10.
The expectations that a combined Anglo i
French iSacal expedition its to be immediately \
organize I, to obtain redress for tbe indigni
ties and injuries inflicted on British and
French interests in Mexico, is regarded with
satisfaction by all who have watched the j
painful consequences of the toleration so long
shown to the various governments iu that j
country. It is reported that Spain also is
earnestly desirous of some respectable ad- j
justipent that may put an end to the prevail
irig horrors, arid the private letters last re- |
ceived from Mexico reiterate the assertion j
that foreign intervention is prayed for by the !
whole population, with tha excoption of the i
military or political robbers by whom the ex
isting anarchy has been created. Under the
circumstances, too, it is to be assumed that !
the Federal Cabinet at Washington will be j
disposed cordially to co operate in the work, i
so that it shall permanently conciliate all ra- !
tionul claims. Whether the question is to 1
be dealt with by the gene cat combination \
which seems thus in prospect or by France j
and England alone, it is evident thut the. pos- I
sibility of further delay is at an end.
The Shipping Gazette of September 11, I
referring to a combined French and English j
expedition to the coast of Mexico, says it is
sqrmised iu some quarters that the object of j
the two Powers is to have a strong force iu j
the Mexican waters, and thus to take ad can- j
iaye of any contingency which might arise •
during the pending conflict between the North j
era and Southern Stales (of the United States), j
