SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —AIbert Long,
eon of Arthur 8., and Kirk MeClintic,
eon of R. li., while out gunning on
Thursday last, met with a mishap
which resulted in seriourly wounding
the latter in the head. The boys it
appears had been out gunning the day
before, and meeting with a little suc
cess determined to to try it again the
following day. Having but one gun,
they agreed to shoot turn about, and
while Long was in the act of drawing
the trigger MeClintic jumped up in
range of the gun and received most of
its contents in the back ot his head,
lie was conveyed home and medical
aid promptly procured, but even if
ho survives, it is doubted whether he
will ever fully regain his health and
strength.
Mrs. Mary Miller, daughter of
our neighbor il. Burk, reached home
last week from \ ickshurg, where she
had been emploj'ed for some time in
the hospitals. The st< amer on which
she took passage up the Mississippi
was attacked by a large force of rebels
and guerillas, and quite a number of
passengers and crew killed and wound
ed and also fifteen mules, but the boat
kept on her way and escaped. Mrs.
M. was slightly wounded on the arm
by a minnie ball. The boat was fairly
riddled with cannon and musket balls,
and it seems almost providential that
any one escaped.
PEACE ME F.TING. —In obedience to
the cessation of hostilities plank in the
Chicago platform, the peace democracy
held a meeting in the Town Hall on
Saturday evening. Rather strangely
for war times they were called togeth
er by the warlike notes ot the drum
and file, and a peace committee on tire
crackers also made a warlike demon
stration towards frightening nervous
people. Ihe usual preliminaries prac
ticed by the party since the Polk, Dal
las and the tariff of '42 swindle having
been put through, Tom Uttley spread
himself on the issues, but whether he
was for peace or war, your Reporter is
unable to determine, as he squinted
both ways. Certain however it is, he
had a great deal more to say against
the Union administration than the re
bel. He gave way to Col. W. H. Ir
win, who having kindly undertaken to
release Hens. Burns Ross and other
old stagers trom managing the patent
democracy, proceeded to deliver a gen
eral laudation of wlnt Gen McCleilan
did do, didnt do, and a great deal more
of what lie would have done hadn't
some "spook" been in the road Your
Reporter, Messrs. Editors, remembers
reading a book called " Conduct of the
Bar,' which gives ample testimony
under oath by the best officers in the
army of what could and ought to have
been done had Gen. McCleilan used his
forces half as judiciously as did Grant
or Sherman. To give credit to Mc-
Cleilan whenever he was successful,
and throw the blame upon the admin
istration whenever unsuccessful, will
not answer, as the record can be pro
duced. I hat shows the President re
quired but one thing, and that was a
sufficient force to protect Washington;
in all else McCleilan had full authority
to make his own arrangements. No
interference was made until General
McCleilan ordered away the troops in
tended to protect the capital, when the
President wisely put a stop to it, for
there is but little doubt the rebels
would have taken it by a coup de main
had he not done so. Let us retrospect
a little. Did not McClellan take with
him the best equipped army, number
ing by the documents 158,000 men. that
ever 101 l Washington ? Was not time
frittered away after their arrival at
Williamsburg in digging over the " sa
cred soil of Virginia," when they ought
to have been on the march to Rich
mond ? Did no' thousands thus fall
victims to disease ? Was it the admin
istration's fault that different corps
were left to contend singly with double
and treble their numbers, or the gene
ral's in command ? Could not Rich
mond have been taken on different oc
casions, had the commander said the
word? Every distinguished general
officer there said under oath it could
W as not so much time given the rebels
that the)* concentrated nearly all their
forces against our army? Were not
70,0(J0 men lost in killed, wounded,
prisoners and by sickness in that cam
paign ? Did not MeClellan's costly
preparations, from the time he com
menced organizing that army until his
return from Harrison's Landing, create
more than Hoe Hundred Millions of our
public debt ? millions of which were
spent in idle reviews, on thousands of
bands of music, and a host of officers
who could be found by the hundred in
every large town or city, and by the
dozen in every smaller one through
the land, idling away their time, while
a private could hardly get leave of ab
sence at all. Such facts are of too re
cent occurrence to be gilded over by
glittering generalities. x.
LOST. —A pocket Photograph Album
containing 11 pictures and one vacant
place, was lost between Lewis'own
and the Poor House, on Friday morn
ing last. A suitable reward will be
paid on leaving it at the Lewistown

OUR SOLDIERS. —Jacob P. Haiuakcr
was elected Captain of the one year s
company from this place. John Swan
Ist and Henry Printz 2d Lieut. Th"
regiment we hear has gone to Wash

Captain Selheimer's hundred day
men were at or near Monocacy, guar
ding the railroad.
Charles E. Thomas of this place was
in the fights which resulted in the cap
ture of the forts below Mobile. He
describes the bombardment as an im
posing scene.
Among the Union prisoners who
have died in the loathsome rebel pris
ons at Andersonville, we find the name
of a former Eastonian, Henry K. A1
gert, brother-in-law of E. Swain, esq.,
of Lewistown. Mr. A. was captured,
with many others of his regiment, the
54th Pa., while guarding the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and taken to Rich
mond, from which place lie was trans
ferred to Andersonville, Ga. His pa
rents reside at Mt. Bethel.
ITEMS.— Five regiments ot the fifteen
authorised are called for by Gov. Cur
tin. C. M. Shult is recruiting a com
pany.
The naval credits at large will reduce
the quota of this borough about four,
leaving three to be furnished, though
it the amended report is on hand we
are more than full. There seems to
have been culpable carelessness in this
matter in the Provost Marshal's office
at Harrisburg.
Swain has received anotl er splendid
Goshen cheese. Call at once for a
slice or you'll not get a mouse's nibble.
McClintic'ssorrel we hear was taken

U. S. 7-30 Loan.
jjuHE Secretary of the Treamry gives notice that
J subscriptions will be received for Coupon Treasu
ry Notes, payable three years from August 15th, 1564,
with semi-annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent, per annum—principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
1 hese notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing
I Ootids, payable not less than five nor more than twen
ty > ears from their date, as the government may elect.
1 hey will be issued in denominations of $50,1100, SSOO
iluGO and s6ooo,,and all subscriptions must be for fifty
j dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars.
1 he notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of
the original Certificates of Deposit as they can be pre
, paled.
As the notes draw interest from August 15. persons
making deposits subsequent to that date must pav
j th interest accrued from date of note to date of de
j posit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time, will be al
lowed a commission of one quarter of one per cent.,
witich will be paid by the Treasury Department upon
the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the
officer with whom the deposit was made. No deduc
tions for commissions must be made from the de
posits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a higher rate
of interest than any other, and the best security. Any
savings bank which pays its depositors in U. S. notes, :
considers that it is paying in the best circulating me- i
diurn iu the country, and it cannot pay in anything
better, for its own assets are either in government
securities or in notes or bonds payable in government
paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or perma
nent investment. The notes can always be sold for
within a fraction of their face and accumulated inter
est. and are the best security with banks as collaterals
for discounts.
Convertible into a 6 per rent. 5-20 Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes
for three years, this privilege of conversion is now
worth about three per cent, per aununi. for the cur
rent rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent,
premium, and before the war the premium on six per
cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will
be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the pres
ent market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per an
num.
lis Exemption from State or .Municipal Tax
ation.
But aside from all the advantages we have enumer
ated, a special Act of Congress exempts ali bonds and
Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average,
this exemption is worth about two per cent, per an
num, according to the rate of taxation in various parts
j of the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders as those issued by the govern
ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or
separate communities, only, is pledged for payment, !
while the whole property of the country is held to se
cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United
States.
While the government offers the most liberal terms
for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal
w ill be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.
The party depositing must endorse upon the original
certificate the denomination of the notes required,
and whether they are to be issued in blank or paya
ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with
the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to
the Treasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the Treasurer of
tin- United States, at Washington, the several Assist
ant 1 reasnrersand designated Depositories, and by the

Himself must either hold or drive;
Franklin thus wrote the words of truth.
When Uncle Sam was in his youth.
But now Young America Is ail alive.
Ami needs to be cautioned HOW to drive;
And Cnele Sam, 1 think, he too
Is rather dashing his way through.
Now, he who safely would progress.
Must step by step still onward press;
But he who would take two.
Often falls down "a few." 3
And to prevent that state of affairs,
I've moved to where there Is no stairs—
Across the street, you'll please to mind.
Now swings the Big Coffee Pot Sign.
"T!s here I want my friends to call.
And see my stock—l can't mention all
in short, your house-wants all you'll And
Supplied at the Big Coffee Pot Sign.
N. B. Manufacturing and Jobbing carri
ed on as usual, and our motto is "Small prof
its and quick sales." Don't mistake the
place. J. IRVIN WALLIS.
