ICE. Limited quantities of this were put up last winter by private parties, hut no supply sufficient for general use, advantage not having been taken of the first freeze. The recent warm weather has caused many to wish for it, and raised con siderable complaint—some blaming the dealer, some the weather, and some the ladies. B?3i,A rather unusual spectacle was ssen on our streets on Saturday evening— two •young girls rather the worse for liquor, and by no means very choice in their be •gaviour, It would be worth while to in stitute a rigid inquiry to ascertain where and froia whom it was obtained. H3k T larvest is slowly progressing, the want ot field hands being materially felt. This is in part caused by the war, many heretofore engaged in outdoor labor having volunteered, and from an indisposition of another class to do work of that kind. To see the number of young men about cor ners, at taverns, and shops, who might be earning both health and money by spend ing a week or two at such work, one would hardly suppose there could be any lack of hands; but unfortunately it is no longer "respectable" to earn a dollar by the sweat of the brow, as was once the case. FROM OUR SOLDIERS. —Smith's Divis ion was in a portion of the recent battles before llichmond, but escaped with little loss. Lieut. Lckebargcr has returned home, having been wounded in the hand by the accidental discharge of a pistol. Lieut. Darker, of the reguLr service, was slight ly wounded in the arm. The Logan (luards, and Capt. E. \V. Eiseubise's com pany are we think with Don. Pope's army, Capt. Hand's in Kentucky, aud Capt. Big elow's in South Carolina. .Mr. Melrose, an agent appointed to ex amine the condition of emigrants to llayti, in one ol his reports speaks as follows: On leaving there, I rode on to the farm oc en pied by Mr. Brown, late of Lewistown, Pa. If; told me lie was working a farm on shares, and that he was doing exceedingly well, lie was to have half of everything he rai-ed, and the propiietor was to give him SSO a week for the first six months, and half of that sum for the three months following. The propri etor is the British Consul at Gonaives, and the bargain between them was just what any emigrant could make with any proprietor in the neighborhood, lie would recommend others to cotne out, as he thought they could do well. As I was leaving the farm house, which, by the way, was large and substantial, a fe male whom I afterwards learned was the wife of Mr. Browu, came running on to the veran dah, having, apparently, just quitted some domestic avocation, and shouted out at the pitch of her voice: "Is that Mr. Itedpath's agent?" " Yes." "Then," clasping her hands together, and speaking in tones of the wildest joy, she ex claimed, "give him my very kindest regards, and tell him we are .yo happy here. Tell hiuj that no money could make me go back again. I have never had a day's sickness since I put my foot on this Island. I thank God I ever came here, and Mr. Redpath for sending me eot. Give him my very kindest love, anil tell him I am .vo happy here." I gave her the requisite promise, and as I left I could hear her still giving utterance to her enthusiastic feelings. My next visit was to a farm of Mr. St. Aude's, where I found Mr. Blackeney and wife, and Mr. Baker, (late of Michigan,) and Mrs Rebecca MeAlister, late of Lewistown, Pa. All of these seen.ed very happy, and they were getting along iu a very satis factory manner. They had gathered a quan tity of cotton, and with their permission I brought a small quantity away. [lt is now in the Boston Bureau.] The house they had to live in was a very good one, and altogether they seemed to be very well satisfied. #®kThe Conferees of the 16th Senatorial District met on Tuesday, the Bth day of July, m the borough of Newport.

For the Gazette. The Railroad. The title is precise enough. Every one in the county knows which one is, to this county, the railroad—viz : the one to begin and, for a time also, to end in Mifflin county. This is the. Railroad. If any one fact is settled this one is, that transportation by railroad is cheaper than by turnpike. These are the only two modes to be considered in the present one refuses to accept the fact as given, the most he can possibly say is that there are or may be some exceptions, or else that it is not true for short distances. In the first case one or more exceptions are claimed. W hoover may claim, in a particular instance, an excep tion, thereby imposes on himself both the duty and the burden of making out the exception he claims Until therefore an exception is claimed and maintained, it is more than vain to attempt to anticipate and estop even one In the second case, the question may be asked how short must the distance be? Exactly as in the former case, he who makes this claim must also maintain it. But waiving this, it is not supposed that any man believes that the distance of ten or twelve miles is too short —no, nor even half that distance. The Free nf inn^ C .°. mpa ? y says .' wi f h the emphasis of SIO,OOO that three miles is not too short. It is safe, therefore, to conclude that the rail, road will cheapen transportation. But, by just as much as transportation is cheapened, by just so much is the country, or even single farms that possess it, enriched. This is then a simple question of economy—of cost and saving. Of itself, therefore, it appeals to ev ery one who values money or wealth. For simplicity, clearness and conciseness, the whole may be expressed in these few propo l sitions: Ist, the railroad will cheapen trans portation. 2d, cheapened transportation is a pecuniary advantage to all and singular that i enjoy jt. 3d, opr county will enjoy it in the railroad (and much more when extended through Centre county, which will then also j enjoy it.) 4th, the railroad will be a pecuni ary advantage to our county. L. S. N. General Hunter's Explanation. HEADQUARTERS OF THE ") DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH, C Port Royal, S. C. June 23.) Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, Washington, IX C. SIR : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a communication from the Adjutant General of the army, dated June 12 th 1802, requesting me to furnish you with the information necessary to answer certain resolutions introduced in the House 1 of Representatives on June oth, 1862, on I motion of Hon. Mr. Wickiiffe, of Kcn | tucky, their substance being to inquire— First. Whether I had organized, or was ; organizing, a regiment of fugitive slaves in | this Department? j Second. Whether any authority had ! been given me from the War Department 1 for such organization, and Third. Whether I had been furnished, by order of the War Department, with clothing, uuiforms, arms, equipments, Ac., for such a force. Only having received the letter contain ing these inquiries at a late hour on Sat- j urday night, I urge forward my answer in i time for the steamer sailing to day (Mon- j day.) This haste prevents me from enter- j ing, as minutely as I could wish, upon many points of detail, such as the para mount importance of the subject demands ; but in view uf the near termination of the present session of Congress, and the wide spread interest which must have been awakened by Mr. Wickliffe's resolution, I prefer sending this imperfect answer to waiting the period necessary for the collec tion of fuller and more comprehensive data. To the first question, therefore, I reply that no regiment of fugitive slaves has been or is being organized in this Depart ment. There is, however, a fine regiment ol'persons whose '.ate masters are" fugitive rebels," men who everywhere fly before the appearance pf the National flag, leaving their servants behind them to shift as Lest they can for themselves. So far, indeed, | are the loyal persons composing this regi- J ment from seeking to avoid the presence ol their late owners, that they are now, one j and ail, working with remarkable industry j to place themselves in a position to join in 1 full and effective pursuit of these fugitives and traitorous proprietors. To the second question, I have the honor to answer that the instructions given to Brigadier General T. W. Sherman by the ; lion. Simon Cameron, late Secretary War, | and turned over to me bysucecs--ion for j my guidance, do distinctly authorize me to ! employ all loyal persons offeriug their ser- ! vices in defence of the Union, and for the i suppression of this rebellion, in any man- j ner I might see fit, or that the circum stances might call for. There is no re striction as to the character or color of the persons to be employed, or the nature of the employment, whether civil or military, in which their services shall be used. I conclude, therefore, that 1 have been au thorized to enlist fugitive--laves as soldiers, could any such be found in this Depart ment. No sueh characters, however, have yet appeared within the view of our most advanced pickets; the loyal slaves every where remaining on their plantations to welcome us, aid us and supply us with food, labor and information. It is the masters who have in every in stance been the fugitives, running away from the loyal slaves as well as the soldiers, and whom we have only partially been able to seo, chiefly their heads over ramparts, or, rifle in hand, dodging behind trees in the extreme distance. In the absence of any fugitive (master) law, deserted slaves would be wholly with out remedy, had not the crime of treason given them the right to pursue, capture and bring back those persons of whose pro tection they have been thus suddenly be reft. To the third interrogatory it is my pain ful duty to reply that I have never receiv ed any specific authority for issues of clothing, uniforms, arms, equipments, Ac., lor the troops in question, my general in structions from Mr. Cameron, to employ them in any manner I might find necessary, and the military exigencies of the Depart ment being my only, but in my judgement, sufficient justification. Neither have I had any specific authority for supplying those persons with shovels, spades and pickaxes when employing them as laborers, or boats and oars when using them as lighter men ; but these are not points included in Mr. Wickliffe's restric tions. , To me it seemed that the liberty to era ploy men in any particular capacity implied with it liberty also to supply them with the necessary tools, and acting upon this faith, I have clothed, equipped and armed the only loyal regiment yet raised in South Carolina. I must say in vindication oi my own conduct that had it not been for the many other diversified and imperative claims on my time and attention, a mifch more satis iactory result might have been hoped ior, and in place of only one, as at present, at least five or six well drilled, brave aud thoroughly acclimated regiments should by this time have been added to the loyal forces of the I nion. The experiment of arming blacks, so far as I have made it, has been a complete, and even marvellous success. 1 hey are sober, docile, attentive and enthusiastic, displaying great natural ca pacities for acquiring the duties of a sol dier. They are eager beyond all things to take the field and be led into action, and it is the unanimous opinion of the officers who have had charge of them that in the peculiarities of the climate and country, they will prove invaluable auxiliaries, ful ly equal to the similar regiments so loug and successfully used by the British am thorities in the West Iqdia Islands. In conclusion, I would say it is my only hope, there appearing no possibility of other reinforcements, owing to the exigen cies of the campaign in the Peninsula, to have organized by the end of the next fall, and to be able to present the Government from 45,G00 to 50,000 of these hardy and devoted soldiers. Trusting that this letter may form part of your answer to Mr. Wickliffe's resolu tion, I have the honor to be, I). HUNTEIi, Major General Commanding. THE MARKETS. LEWISTOWN, July ,0 TBC2.
