(% Centre p eurocrat. THURSDAY, AUG. 22d 1861. "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.~~ A Sad Affair. On last Sunday night a tragedy transpired, which bas cast a deep gloom over our oommunity. A number of persons, on their way from Pennsvalley Campmeeting, stopped at the residence of-Elias Horner, near the summit of Nittany mountain.— An altercation occurred between William Ilays, Edward Lipton, and Huston Pocr> man which resulted in the death of the lat ter. We give, below, the particulars of the affair, taken from the evidence g'ven be fore the coroner, at the inquest. For this evidence weare indebted to Wm. J. Ivealsh, Esq., who was present when it was given in, and who kindly furnished us the copy. Augustus 11. Poorman and Wm. Fisher came to the house of Elias Horner, a little while before sun down, on Sunday evening, and took supper there. About dusk, Ed ward Lipton and William liays came to the house on their way from camp meeting, and stopped and asked for a drink of water. It was not long until a difficulty occurred be tween Poorman and Lipton, but which was settled without a fight. Poorman and Fish er had started to go home, when Poorman discovered he had forgotten his walking stick, (which the witness said "was an inch and a quarter through,") which he called his horse. He was told where he could find it, and white he had it in his hand, and be fore he turned to join Fisher, who was two rods distant and over the yard fence, he and Lipton got into another quarrel of words.— Poorman said he was a "good man." Lip ton said he was a good man too, for the size of him. Poorman then threw away the stick, and, in the language of the witness, "rolled up his sleeves." Lipton picked up the stick and gave Poorman a blow about the head which staggered him, and " he staggered and run," turning his back to ward Lipton, when Liptou struck him again on the.back of the head. This blow knock ed Poorman down, and he fell on one side and ro'led over on his back. The witness says he never moved or struggled afterward. Hays, after Poorman was knocked down, joined with Lipton in beating and kicking Poorman. Fisher came as quickly as pos sible, and pulled Lipton away, and Mrs. Horner pu led Hays back, breaking his watch guard and pulling out his watch. — Hays picked up his watch, put it in his pocket, and then went at beating and kick ing Poorman again. After Poorman was knocked down, Lipton had thrown the stick to one side, Mrs. Horner seized the stick and when Fisher pulled him b ick, she struck him (Lipton) with it, and • told him he had killed the man. Lipton pulled the stick from lier and said he did not care a G—d d—n. that he knew it, but that he was goiog to war. Ilays ran to the buggy and urged Lipton to come, which he did, and they started off rapidly down the Moun ain to ward Bellefonte. While they were yet in sight, people returning from camp meeting, 6toped at the house, and everything was done that could be done. A doctor was sent for to Centre Hall, but life was extinct, and the pulse must have ceased beating a few minutes after the occurrence. Some person stopped on the way and told a brother in-law oi P. orman, that Ilust. Poorman was killed. Lie and the lather of the deceased came to Bellefonte about one o'clock on Monday morning, got a warrant for Lipton and Hays, put it in ihe hands of Deputy Sheriff Isaac Lose, who started im mediately with a strong posse to Milesburg, the home of Lipton and llaj s. A friend had given the parties notice of the death of Poor man, and they, so we are informed, came to to Bellefonte for legal advice. The Deputy Sheriff, noticing a horse and buggy standing in (ront of an attorney's office, went in and found both Lipton and Hays in consultation with their attorney. They were arrested without any difficulty, and conveyed to our Jail (?) The following is the result of the post mortem investigat on 1 The Coroner subpoe >aed Drs. Fairlainh, Dobbins, Green and Mitchell, to make a post mortem examination. Drs. Green and Dobbins, wire early in attendance and com menced operations. Drs. Potter and Mitch ,>ll came in after the operation of taking off' the top of the skull had bien p ifjrmed, they were however in time to examine the ex tent of the injuries. Thire appeared to have been severol severe blows upon the head, one just above the left eye, cutting the skin to the boneof the brow ; on the top of the head near the crown ; there was markes of a blow upon the scalp which had commu nicated its stunning affects to the brain ; another blow below the crown had also af fected the brain, and two others of the same character near the base of the brain. A blow had been given behind and below the bottom of the right ear which sceu>9 to have destroyed everything to the bone. The brain exhibited large quantities of e.. ?i --sated blood. A thorough examination ft is made of the neck, by Drs. Dobbins and Green, by disectery down to the bone, when it was found that the neck had not been dislocated as was at first supposed. The murdered man was buried in Miles burg Cemetry, on Tuesday morning. The prisoners are in jail awaiting their trial, which will take place next week. We will give our readers a full account of the trial FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL.— The children of the St. John's Catholic School, assisted by their teacher and pastor, purpose holding a fair for the benefit of their school, at the school room, near the church, on Saturday next.— The public ars respectfully invited to attend. Admission to fair-room 5 cents. Single tick ets for supper, 50 cents ; for lady and gen tleman, 75 cents. Doors open at 2 and 7 o'clock P. M. "What is to be Done with the Pi rates ? This question is now seriously discussed in the Cabinet, without any defiinite answer being arrived at. It is supposed that in the next four weeks, our newly sent out fleet will have captured at least four hundred Southern sailors, who according to the doc trine enunciated by the Executive, must be regarded as pirates and executed as such.— But you are aware that the subject is full of difficulty. At the time Gen. McClellan took so many prisoners with Col. Pegram, I wrote to you that the War Department bad sent him orders to release them all. This order, of course, he obeyed. I stated at the same time, that the Administration had decided not to hang any of the sailors taken on board of Southern privateers. This was true at the time. The decision was made, not from any feeling of clemency towards the captur ed eailors, but from motives of policy. No instance of hanging 'na9 aa yet taken place on either side ; and the Administration felt unwilling to begin a course of policy which might be followed on the other side. The result of the inauguration of such a policy would be the indiscriminate murder of hundreds of prisoners in the hands of the Rebels, including many valuable citizens, and the enactment of scenes of horror une qualed by those of the French Revolution.— The Administration, therefore, decided, as I have said, not to bang any of the pirates.— But within a day or two the question has been again raised in the Cabinet, At least one member of that body is in favor, as he ex presses it, of " discarding all squeamish non sense, and of hanging every Rebel found in arms against the Government, wbctocr taken on the sea or land." This is undoubtedly the course that ought to bo taken, if the Gov ernment regards this matter as simply an " insurrection." This is the view taken of it by President Lincoln, and he too, although he deplores the necessity of such dreadful measures, is in favor of such a course as will show to the world that we are in earnest in this matter, and that traitors found in arms against the Government must expect and re ceive a traitor's doom. But the Secretary of State is in favor of a milder, and as he t'links, of a wiser courso of policy. lie ad mits that, by the strict rules of law, the Southern privateersmen are pirates, and to hang them might be justifiable ; hut, he says, necessity haß led us to disregard former con stitutional provisions, since the commence ment of this strife. ID this instance, the same necessity would seem to dictate a relax ation of the strict rule of law. If we hang these men, the Rebels will bang Mr. Ely, Col. Corcoran and hang Mr. Faulkner and the prisoners at Fort Lafayette. Thus there will be no end to hornra. To avoid this, Mr. Seward favors a more linient course tbau he would recommend under ordinary circum stances. His opinion has great weight with the President; but the matter is by no means decided. The other members of the Cabi net are divided in sentiment on the subject. Mr. Wells sides with Mr. Seward, and the Secretary of War ho'ds about the same views, only he objects to any further rdease of prisoners, as in the case of Col. Pegtam's men. Mr. Bates and Mr. Blair both go for extreme measures, regardless of consequen ces ; and Mr. Smith entertains the same views.— Cor. Phil'a. Inquirer. The Battle at Springfield. . ROLLA, MO., Aug. 13. The following additional account of the battle at Springfield furnished by an eye witness, who lelt Springfield on Sunday morning and came through to this place on horseback. Our army matched out of Springfieid on Friday evening only fifty five hundred strong the Home Guards remaining in Springfield. Our forces slept on the prairie a portion oi the night, and at about sunrise on Saturday morning drove in the outposts of the enemy ar.d soon after the attaek became general. The attack was made in two co unins by Gens. Lyon and Sturgiss and gen. Seig'e leading a fl inking force of about one thouo sand men and four guns on the north of the enemy's camp. The fight raged from sun rise until oue or twn o'clock in the afternoon The rebels in overwhelming force charged on Capt. Totten's battery three distinct times but were rapuised with great laughter. Gen Lyon fell early in the day. lie had been previously wouuded in the leg and had a horse shot from under him. T: 6 Colonel of one of the Kansas regiments having be come disabled, the boys cried out " General you come and lead us oo." lie did so and at once put himself in front, and while cheer ing the men on to the charge received a bul let in the left breast and fell irom his horse He was asked if he was hurt and replied " no not much," but in a few minutes after ward he expired without a struggle. Gen. Sie„el had a very severe struggle, and lost thiee of his guns. His artillerv horses were shot in their harness, and the pieces disabled. lie endeavored to haul them off with a number of prisoners he had taken, but was finally compelled to aband >n th ;m lis first however, spiked the gun an I di-abled the carriages. At about one o'clock the enemy seem°d to be in great disorder and retreating. Their baggage wagons were on fire. Our forces were too much fatigued and cut up to pursue, so the battle may be co'.s der a draw. The Missouri First and lowa First regi ments suffered the most. Gentri! Price was not killed. There were rumors on 'he field that Ben. McCullougb was killed but the rebels denied it. Ou S-i'urday night Br. Marcher and others of our army went back wi'h ambulances ts the battle field from Springfield to see about the killed arid wounded. They fund the enemy on ilia field and were considera'ety treated- Gsn Lyon's body had been treated with great respect and was biought b-.ck with some of the wounded to Springfield. Major Sturgess tock command of the bat tle field after the death of Gen. LJOD. Gen. Sisgel took command afier the battle Our loss is variou-ly estimated at from 150 to 300 killed and 700 wounded- The enemy's loss is placed at 2,000 killed and wounded. Our boys captured one hundred hoioes of the enemy. The enemy carried two flags, the Confed erate and the Stars and stripes. Gen. Siegel marched back to Springfield in good order. After perfecting his arrange ments, gathering the baggage, blowing up what powder ho could not carry, and de stroying other property which he did not want to tall into the hands of the enemy, be left Springfi dd, and on Sunday night en camped thirty miles this side of that place, the enemy not pursuing. Important Arrests. PHILADELPHIA, August 19. Piercs Bu'tler was arrested this aftern on by the United States marshal, by order of Secretary Cameron. Ho was taken to New- York this evening en route for Fort Hamil ton. The arrest of Pierce Battler wa- followed by the arrests of Wm. B. Reed, late minister to China; George W. Wharton, late U, S. disTict attorney ; Chas. Brown, ex-collector of the port, and Dayid Siloman. It is sta ted that Buttler's arrest was caused by in tercepting letters, giving information to the enemy. VOLUNTEERS WANTED. LEWISTOWN. PENN'A., Aug. 1, 1861.

WOOD: Dear Sir:—ln the latter part of the year 1852, while attending the Stati and National Law School of the State of New York, mv hair, from a cause unknown to me, com menced falling off very rapidly, so that in the short space of six months, the whole upper partoj my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the side and back part of my head shortly after bo came gray, so that you will not be surprised when I tell you tbat upon my roturn to the State of In diana, my more casual aoqu ilntances were not so muen at a loss to discover the cause of the changa in my appearance, as my more intimate acquain ces were to recognize me at all. I at once madt application to the most skillful physicians in the country, hut, receiving no as surance from them that my hair could again be restored, I was forced to become reconciled to njy fate, until, fortunately, in the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was recommended te me by a druggist, as being the mostreliablo Hair Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found to my great satisfaction that it was producing the desired effect. Since that time, I have used seven dollars' worth of your Restorative, and as a re sult, have a rich coat of very Boft hlack hair, which no inoDey can buy. As a mark of my gratitude for your labor and skill in the production of so wonderful an article, I have recommended its use to many of my friends and acquaintances, who, I am happy to inform you, are using it with like effect.
