" DEAR FATHER. —I suppose you are anxious to hear from me. Well, lam sa.e, but complete ly used up. We have had the most terrible fight on racord in our country. £ think we fought nine hours. We had only fifteen or sixteen thou sand at the outside, to seventy thousand of the enemy. We thought we had them routed at one time, but they were re-inforcd by Gen. Johnston, when we were compelled to retreat. Oar Regi- j ment is badly cut up, but we behaved like soldiers. j One of the prisoners said we fought more like ; tigers than men. Our company rallied three j times on the enemy, and mowed them down like hail. We have out of our company alone sixteen missing, and fifteen wounded—nearly one fourth, i and the other companies have suffered in the ; same proportion. Capt. Bouck and our Lieu ton- i ant acted like gallant men. staid with us till the last. Our Regiineut is highly praised by the other Regiments. The New York Fire Zouaves 6ay we lougbt like devils. We will be revenged, If we follow the reoels t„ the Gulf of Mexico. I have got so now that 1 know no fear of them, and from this time out, I will neither ask nor give quarters to them. We have not one coward in ; our company —all obeyed and retreated like sol- i diers. I will write as soon as I get rested. IRVIN POTTER." | In connection with the letter t\\e> Democrat says : "Gen. Potter has now three sons in the reguler army—the writer of the above letter, A. G. Potter at Cairo, anl Charles 11. Putter of this city, who, on hearing of tho fight at Manassea, immediately went to Madison, joined Capt. Braggs' Company, and went to the theatre of war with the sth Wisconsin Rtgiment laet week. They come from good stock. One of their ancestors was a Gener al in the Revolutionary army, and fought under Washington at Mot mouth and Bran dywine." The Centre County Prisoners. CUN'TTTE IIILL, Aug. Bth 18G1. MR. EDITOR : Enclosed you will fiod an ex tract from a letter received by Dr. J. F. llutcbiDSOD from Lieut. Hutchinson, dated .Richmond July 20th 18G1. "Dear Brother.— l suppose you have heard of our misfortune 'ere this, and I have no ; doubt are anxious to know what has become of us. We were taken to W inchestor aod remained there two weeks, when we were sent to this place where we arrived last night. Thers are forty four of our company besides eleven other prisoners. We have very good quarters and are treated in the beat manner by theofficer wbo is in charge of us. I want you to let the folks know where we are. I send you the names of the prisoners from your vicinity: 11. Sankey, \V. Palmer, C. Hess, J. Zertle, A. Betrlyuu, G Ments, J. Marks, T. Furver. Wo are all well and in hopes of being exchanged goon.

Co. I, 15 lleg. P. V. Departure of Troops. Shortly after the first requisition was made for men, a com pany of Cavalry was raised in this county. As but a comparatively small amount of cavalry was thought necessary, many com panies were not accepted and the Centre cavalry was among that number. Since that time, however, the War Department has discovered that a fatal mistake had been made in accepting such a limited number of cavalry. It has been discovered that this arm of the sorvica has not received proper attention in the organization of cur army.— Tbß Department has determined to call a large force of cavalry into the field and Penn sylvauia has been called upon to furnish her quota. The Centre cavalry were informed a short time ago, that their services would be accepted. The ranks of the company were immediately filled up to the-number of one hundred and twenty men, and on last Satur day they started from this place and -Ui'es burg for the seat of war. The company is composed of the"bonß and sinew" of Centre county, being formed principally of woods men, miners, farmers and mechanics—men | whose avocations renderthem physica'lv able to endure the hardships of a soldier's life— : just such men as Southern Senators term "mudsills." We promise the "chivalry" j that if this body of men are so lucky as to get a chance at them when not skulk ) ing behind batteries hidden from the view they will make mudsills of them in the lit eral sense of the word. More Companies for the "War, By posters in "conspicuous places" we see that two more companies are being formed in th s town for the three year service. The names ofWm. L. Raphile aDd James P. Hughes formerly officers in the Eagle Guards (com pany H, Fourth Regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, in the three months service) aTe attached to one of these posters as the re cruiting officers. To the other the name of James A. Beaver, formerly an officer in the Fenoibles, (company H. Second Reg. P. V. in the three months service.) We ex poot scon to see these companies filled up and ready to march to the seat of war. Tbe men engaged in raising these companies are men of energy and the cause in which the soldiers are to fight is a good one, aud for these reasons we have no fear of the failure of either ol these companies. Big Day at Stormstown. Last Saturday was a big day in Stormstown. We have no Sec retary's report of the procediDgs, but from •what we hear we believe that the patriotic citizens of that village got up a dinner for Capt. McFarland's volunteers, who "just re turned from war." A military company was organized by Brigade Inspecter Snyder, and a citizens meeting was addressed by our Associate, W. W. Brown. A Secession Paper Obliterated. CONCOED, N. H., Aug. Bth.—The office of the Democratic Standard was completely re lieved of its contents this afternoon, by a mob composed of the soldiers roturned from the First Regiment, and citizens. The Standard has for a long time published Secession edi torials. and articles reflecting on our soldiers. They demanded a retraction, and the Pal mers (editors and proprietors,) shook pistols and axes out of the windows, and dared the mob. While the city authorities endeavored to quell the disturbance, the Palmers tired four shots, wounding two soldiers. The office was immediately gutted, and the materials burn ed in the street. The Palmers took refuge in the attic, but were finally carried to the police station and protected by the police, though with great difficulty. When the first report of the late dis aster at Bull Run, was handed round at the Methodist camp meeting, near Chicago, 111., Rev. Ilenry Cox. pastor of the Wabash ave nue Methodist Episcopal church, who was preaching at the time, remarked on clesiDg his sermon : —Brethren, we had better ad journ this Camp meeting and go homo and drill." This suggestion was approved, and Mr. Cux, good as hie word, is drilling with the weapons of war, ready to serve his coun try in the field, if necessary ; but at the same he does not neglect his spiritual charge. UNPARALLELED BARBARISM, IF TRUE. —A letter from Washington to the Hartford Cou rier contains the following remarkable state ment : " Mr. McCav, General Mansfield's aid, in forms me that a box came directed to him on Tuesday morning, which he opened -and found to contain the heads of our men who had died or been murdered on the field of battle." A well knewn temperance lecturer went to General Scott, a day or two since, and asked that he might go among the men and talk to them. The General replied.— "With all my heart I give ray consent. 1 I can endure all the demoralization consequent upon a defeat, but the whiskey shops of Washington may be too mnoh for me." The Cleaveland Plaindealer says " Some weeks since we solicited, through a friend, some statistics in the biography of Gen. McClellan, whr-n he replied, " Tell my friend Gray to wait till I can give him an ex cuse for referring to me." The Boston "Post" asks : Who wants a better " National llitn' than Gen. Scott ?" The Hart fort "Courant" answers: "Nobody, Mr. " Post." We can along with that aud Uncle Psalm. For the Democrat. MB.

SPECIAL NOTICES. fsff John Meinbart of Tyrone, a dealer in liquors of all kinds, and especially ot German Wines, has appointed Jacob Daniels of Halfmoon his Agent in that place, and D. M. Wagner of the Borough of Bellefonte to sell these Wines to all who may call upon them for sacramental and other purposes, i'he Wine is the pure juice of the grape, imported from Germany and ranges from sixteen to six years old. It is warrented good and pure, and all persons wishing a genuine article of ivine, should call upon Mr. Meinhart in Tyrone, Jacob Daniels in Halfmoon, or D. M. Wagner in Bellefonte. Churches and all others wishing a pure article should call upon eithor of the above named gentleman and satisfy them selves as to its purity and gsnuousness. %:■??- Rheumatism can be permanently cured by " Dr. Leland's Antic Rheumatic Band." See ad vertisement of " Great Cure" in another column. jg-3- We take great pleas,ire jn calling the at tention of our readers to the advertisoment of Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial and Blood Ren.-, ovator, in another column of our paper. It is seldom we take any notice of patent medicines, but we cannot refrain from speaking of this Cor dial, and do justice to the afflicted as well as our selves. We have watched the progress of this Cordial since its first introduction to the public, and we are satisfied that there is nothing in use for cleansing the system and renovating the blood, that can be compared with Prof. Wood's Cordial. Any one suffering from general debility, after us ing one bottle will see its beneficial effects. We have had a long acquaintance with the proprietor, and know him to be skilled in the science ef med icine; and anything compounded by him the pub lic can rely upon as being just what it is recom mended. We would advise all sick or well to get a bottle. It is pleasant to the ta-te. and exhilar ating to the system. But we refrain from further comments, as any one. after using one bottle, will be satisfied as to its effects. JS9*We inrite special attention to the adver tisement of Prof. W od's Resto alive Cordial and Blood Renovator, in another column. For weak ness and generally debility there is nothing like it; it will strengthen, exhilerate, create an appetite at once, regulate the bilious system, aid digestion, and in short, restore the weakened or gans to all their original vigor and strength. So valuable a Tonio Cordial should be in the hands of every invalid and in every family. Reader, try it T3HE CB3M"rB.K ÜBMOCnAT.

Having inherited u Scrofulous infection, 1 have suffered tioin it in various ways for years. Sometimes it burst out in Ulcers on my hands and arms; sometimes it turm>d inward and distressed me at the stomsch. Two years ago it hruke out on my head and covered my scalp and ears with one sore, which was painful and loathsome beyond description. I tried 11111113' medicines and several physicians, but without much relief from any thing. In fact, the disorder grew worse. At length 1 was rejoiced to read in the Gospel .Messenger that you had prepared an alterative (Marsaparilla), for I knew from your reputa tion that any tiding you made must be good. I sent t Cincinnati and got it, and used it till it cured me. 1 took it, as you advise, in small doses of a teaspoon fid over a mouth, and used almost tlnee bottles. New aud healthy skin soon begun to form under the scab, which after a while fell off. My skiu is now clear, and I know by my feelings that tbe disease has gone from my system. Yon can well believe that 1 feel what I am saying when I tell you, that I hold you to be 0116 of the apostle* of the age,, and remain ever gratefully. Yours, ALFRED B. TALLEY.

ATER: Sir, I cheerfully comply with the ro qnest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects I have realized with your Sarsaparilla. I have cured with it, in uiy practice, most of the com plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its effecte truly wonderful in the euro of Venereal and Mer curial Disease. One of my patients bad Syphilitic ulcers in his throat, which were consuming his palate and the top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily take?*, cured him in live weeks. Another was attacked by see*- oudary symptoms iu liis nose, and the ulceration had eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe tbo disorder would soon reach his brain and kill him. But it yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; tlu ulcers healed, aud be is well ugain, not of course without some disfiguration to his face. A woman who bad been treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering from this poison in her bones. Tliey had become so sen sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, was cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. 1 know from its formula, which your agent gave me, that this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results with it have not surprised me.
