A 4tFES'FION OF STATE HISTORY Who were the First Volunteers for the The following paper was read by Hon. IVil ham AL Hiester; lite Secretary of the CoMmOn wealth,-at-thelast meeting of the Berks County Historical Society; at -Reading : 1 propose iu the paper which I read this even ing before this Society, to vindicate the truth of history, and to establish the right of priority to be with the Ringgold Light Artillery in the contest for precedence which has aprung up between the firSt five companies from Pennsyl vania, which marched to the defence of Wash- - ington. On the 4th of July,lBo6, at a military celebration of the Anniversary of our Inde pendence, held at_lPhiladelphia,, it :Was -under stood that .the five companies, the Ringgold Light Artillery, from Reading; the Logan Guards, from Lewistown: the Washington Ar tillery and the National Light Infantry, from Pottsville,. and , the Allen Rifles, from Allen . town, would be present to participate, and the question of precedence in these companies being likely to arise, Gen. Hoffman addressed a letter to Adjutant-General Russell for information on this point. Gen. Russell, in answer, wrote the following letter ' a copy of which he kindly fin rdshed from his office: " ADJUTAN T-GENKHAL'S Ilwitinsnuno, June 23, - Ginerut 11'. Ilidrinan, Philadelphia—GEN -I:RAL :On my return to-day from Williams port I found on qv table_your_letter_of the -- '2oth — iffst. — d I id not take charge of this department until September., 1861, and did 'not come-to Ilarrisbut, , r...until—June of --that year ; from which latter date until September I was on duty as aide-de-camp to the Governor. I am, therefore, unable to furnish any personal knowledge"of the reporting for duty or muster of the live companies of which you write, and, as no records of them under the titles given. can be discovered, I cannot give you the transcripts desired. Colonel Slifer, however, Secretary of the Commonwealth, who at that time was actually assistinr , the Governor in the Military Department, is clear in his recollection of the fact that the Logan Guards, from Lewis town' was the first to report for duty, this corn pany having reported in the morning or fore noon of the 17th of April, 1861, and the other companies at later periods of the same day. 1 am also informed that this company occupied the right of the line on their march through Baltimore. This. if so, was, at that time, when facts and circumstances were fresh and properly understood, a concession of seniority. "I am, &c., A. L. RUSSELL, "Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania." The Adjutant-Generahin his letter, is equally at fault in his information about the line of march in Baltimore as in the information lie communicates from the Secretary of the Com monwealth. The truth is the United States regulars occupied the right of the line, and the Ringgold Artillery the left. But, in the confu sion and danger of the passage of the unarmed troops through the infuriated mob at Balti more, little regard was had to the order of march. -Whatever other facts and considera tions entered into the decisions then made, it cannot be doubted that this letter controlled the result; and the military authorities, on this occasion, decided upon giving the right of the line to the Logan Guards, of Lewistown. On the announcement °fads order, through Major- General Hancock,ln et:lmoland; the Ringgold - Light Artillery refused to participate in the pa rade, and withdrew. Thus the post of honor and priority was established by this precedent against the Ringgold Light Artillery most un expectedly, though not unaccountably. When 1 have presented, as I shall do m the perform ance of the task I have undertaken, the state ment of facts and proofs at myconimand,it will be evident that, had Adjutant-General Russell examined the records and ' papers within his reach, and not relied upon the treacherous recollection of the Secretary of the Common wealth, the would not have misled the military authorities at Philadelphia with the erroneous statement that the Logan Guards was the first company to report at Harrisburg, having arrived on the morning of the 17th of April, when the indisputable fact was that the Ringgold Light Artillery had arrived and reported at Harris burg on the evening of the Dith of April. But the question now assumes a higher significance and importance than a mere point of military piecedence i - and arises to the dignity of a national historical question. In the House of Representatives, at Washington, General - Cake, a repfsr;ritative from Schuylkill county,. who himself', as an officer of the National Light Infantry; of Pottsville, marched with his com pany—to—Washingtonhyliiii—rengas made upon the introduction of resolution relative to the bestowal of medals upon the battalion first to ,arrive at Washington from Pennsylva-: - nia, as I find in the report of the Con• Oivslonal Globe. of the 18th of April, 1870, said: " The services, of the Lewistown Logan Guards, Captainfielheither, were offered the Governoron the fsth of April, accepted the same day, and, 8i strong, marched to Har isburg-on-theifithifirst to at rive in that eity."

President Lincoln issued his proclamation for '75,000 men, April 15, 1801. On that morning the Ringgold • Light. Artillery, were drilling with full ranks, arin9d and equipped, on their parade-ground, a short distance-from-the-city.Twhen-telegraph . 14 • reached the corps on parade of the' proclama tion of the President. The - following despatch was forth Wit - sent to Governor - Curtin,- and, appears in the record of "ReceiVed Des patches," in - the office of the AdjutantXreneral, at Harrisburg : "READING, April 15, 1861.—Gov. A. G. Curtin : The Ringgold Light Artillery are pa rading this morning with their guns for prac tice, and have ninety men on parade,every one - of them expecting to be ordered on duty for U. S. service before they leave their guns. The Deputy Secretary of the Committee, - as appears by the first despatch recorded ou that day, sent answer : "Hmuusnuna, April 15, 1861.— H. A.

M. They at once reported for duty to the Secretary of State _(the Governor being in 'Washington), who, by tele gram, reported the Ringgold Artillery at Har risburg, awaiting orders, to the Secretary of War at Washington. The Secretary of War telegraphed in answer; "Push forward the company by first trains." This telegram, conveying orders to march, was transmitted by- the -Secretary- of the Common wealth to Captain McKnight. Orders in obe dience thereto were then issued to the com mand to take the train • for Washington at 3 o'clock A. M., April 17th. if these orders had not been countermanded. the. Ringgold Light Artillery would undoubtedly have reached Washington safely in advance of all troops from Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and before the Logan Guards and, the companies from Pottsville reported at Harrisbum. At mid night, however, the order to mar; was coun termanded in the following counter order: "HARRIsBruo, April 10, 1861.—Capt. Jai. Mr Knight : ou will delay your march to Washington until ordered by the Governor. "ELI SLIFER." DET'AItTNIENT 7 This written order of the Secretary _of. the Commonwealth, addressed to Captain Mc- Knight, dated April 16, 1861, so indisputably fixes tlic time of the arrival, and the report for duty at Harrisburg by the Ringgold Light Artil lery,that any„cumulative evidence is wholly su perfluous. /If any is needed it will be found in the following extract from the Pennsylvania Daily Telegraph of Apri! 17, 1861—an evening paper pubkshed at Harrisburg : " Last night, at about, 8 o'clock, the Ringgold Artillery. Captain McKnight, of Reading, num bering 100 men. arrived. They took up quar ters at Ilerr'S Hotel. They are a fine body of men, and are fully prepared and determined to do their whble duty in the present crisis. Our citizens welcomed them with cheers." Now permit me to interpret these proofs in the light tln'own upon them by the account of the events given in Bates's History of Pennsyl vania Volunteers. This writer says: " On the afternoon of the day of the Presi dent's proclamation for 75,000 men, the Secre tary of War telegraphed a call to the Governor of Pennsylvania, and it was telegraphed by the Executive to all parts of Pennsylvania. Among the first to respond was the Ringgold Artillery, Captain McKnight, of Reading; the Logan Guards, Captain Selheimer, of Lewis town ; the Washington Artillery, Captain Wren, and the ISlational .Light Infantry, Cap tain McDonald, of Pottsville ; and the Allen Rides, Captain Yeager, of Allentown. The telegram from the Ringgold Light Artillery was sent the morning of the day of the Presi dent's proclamation, and the reply of Deputy Secretary Thomas indicates that it reached the Executive Department at Harrisburg before the Secretary of War had telegraphed the call to the Governor. 'Subsequently the despatch, dated April 15th, received on the 10th, was sent by the e Secretary of the Commonwealth, order Mg the Ringgold Light Artillery to Harrisburg, which resulted in bringing the command there on the evening of that day. On reporting, continues the same writer,speakirg of the Ringgold Light Artillery, at the Executive cflice, the Governor being absent in Washington, orders were sought from the Secretary of War, who telegraphed to push the Company forward by the earliest trains. That order, for prudential reasons, was almost immediately countermanded by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. I have before shown beyond the possibility of successful contradic tion that all this occurred on the arrival of the Ringgold Light Artillery at Harrisburg on the evening of the llith of April; and I will ROW adduce equally conclusive proofs that the Logan Guards did not reach Harrisburg till midday of the 17th, and the Pottsville com panies till the evening of the 17th.

I come now to comment briefly. upen claim for precedence made by the two cori3pa nies from Pottsville, on the ground that they lituteffereil - service's to tlieGO'Verninent prior 'to the promulgation of the president's proclamation. The National Light' Infantry allege that the officers, by resolution-of the company, tendered their services, on:the 11th of April, to the Secretary of War, and were noti fied of theOteeptanee 'on • the 13th of April. The Washington Artillery allege they tendered their services on the 13th of April and were accepted .by the Government., No authorityyeexisted - on the part of the Sec retary of War, by any law or proviSion of the Constitution of the United States, to accept the offer of troops until the call of the President on the 15th of April. That the military authori les-recognized-no-right-of-precedence-becans of prior acceptance by the Secretary of War was made manifest by the fact that, in the order of ptirade on the 4th of July, MG, at Philadelphia, the post.of honor—the right , of the line—was ,giveirto-. the - Logan Guards, to the exclusion 'Of both the companies from Pottsville, on the ground that'this company had reported first - for duty at Harrisburg: The Vender of services by the officers or by resolu tion of the company,and the acceptance of such services, has little significance or importance. On the 10th of April, the day after the procla mation, the Secretary of the Commonwealth published - in the - Pennsylvania - Daily Telegrqp,h, at Ilarrishurg,'afist'_of.-troops, comprising one or two regiments and about fifty companies, whose services had.been offered and accepted by the Goiernor under the call of the President. Some of these troops failed -to report for duty, and in regard to others which entered-into ser vice,no pretension of claim for priority . of rank' was set up over others which had begun-their march and reported for duty at rendezvous at earlier dates.

MUMENBERG, W.M. M. HIESTED, JAMES MILHOLLAND,- . C. H. HUNTER. LETTER FROM POTTSVILLE I Correspeadence of the Phila. ETen'g Bulletin.] POTTSVILLE, June 16 ; 1870.-After waiting six weeks for pleasant weather the.pic-nit sea son may at last be reported fairly opened:" Your correspondent was present at one yes terday, Which will long remain in - his memory. It was gotten up by the members of Mountain Social Temple of Honor and Temperance—a name whose length recalls that other tempe rance society whose follies were so pleasantly satirized by. the great teacher whom— now that he is dead—all the papers are trying to canonize' forgetful that his nailliodS read ers -61- did tha ' t, long ago. Like the other fol lies and vices against which he directed his pungent wit, the habit of meeting once a week to swill tea instead of ale, lager and whisky, is now a thing of the past, and temperance socie ties are conducted on steady principles, and not by force of high-pressure enthisiasm. The Society with which your correspondent pic nicked yesterday was endowed with at least average intelligence and good sense—certainly enough to get up a first-class pic-nic, and that without the aid of tea. With its usual courtesy, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad fur nished excursion tickets to Landingville, seven miles down the road, armed with which a merry party boarded an early train, and were rolled away through the beautiful scenery of the upper Schuylkill, until, after a ride unani mously declared "not half long enough," they were, deposited at their place of destination safe and Sound, and everything in good order ex cept one ham, which, with true porcine obsti nacy, remained on board, and was never heard from more. The ground was in a snug little valley, nest ling down between wooded hills, and as com pletely isolated from "the busy haunts of men " as if it had been in Alaska, instead of bustling Eastern Pennsylvania, and within two minutes' walk of a railroad depot. . I have always thought that the dividing line between Berks and Schuylkill ought to lie on the ridge Of the Sharp Mountain, immediately below Pottsville. North of that line, every thing is essentially Schuylkill, and the whole scenery is indicative of great wealth in the bowels of the earth, combined with compara tive poverty of the surface. Passing through the gap in Sharp Mountain, you have scarcely reached Mount Carbon, kalf a mile below Pottsville, when the scenery changes and puts on the agricultural look of "Old Berks." The mounds of coal dirt and refuse from the mines give place to broad iields,of grain; „huge barns are seen instead of ..uncouth and grimy breakers, and the rough shanties and irregular villages f the coal region, which look as if they had been picked up somewhere by a flood, and deposited, at random, over the country, a /a Agassiz and the "glacial period," are sup,. planted by comfortable-looking farm houses and neat towns, in which the streets are laid out with a view to permanence, and the houses nestle together in a neighborly way that sug dests a life-long intimacy among the inmates ; towns in which the sidewalks (for are not the inhabitants genuine descendants of the cleanly Holl'anders immortalized by Irving?) are swept and dusted every morn ing, are lined with wooden stoops and shaded by huge trees; whose streets are seldom dis turbed by a passing wagon, and whose whole appearance suggests that they are completed and ready to be whitewashed and fenced in. Even' such is the little village of iLandingville, in whose vicinity our pic-nic was held, and of such character is the country round it. A few children came and sat on a mossy bank to witness the sports;and remained there,with char acteristic Dutch immobility, during the greater part of the day; a few women strolled up, looked on in silence, answered all offers of hos- Lpitality with monosyllabic shyness, and welit,_ away again to attend:to household ditties; a fat man, with a rubicund visage, and eyes which beamed with good nature, dismounted from - a bare-backed horse, asked for a piece of cake show the`folks . at home-he bad heeitto the pie-nic," and, with mouth, hands and pockets full,: Willed to his steed only to see it trotting down the -road' Under a madcap Templar, who seemed - highly delighted and in no wise alarmed in her uneasy seat.

"Tired most to death". were they; but all agreed that the day, had been.delightful.: And such is a country picAic, The sensation to-'day was a wedding in high life, which occurred at high noon in.the Epis copal Church,, the groom being one of Potts , ville's representative young men, and the bride the daughter of a successful coal operant!. Bride - and-bridesmaids-were-dressedwellj-gor , - geously, which may be • interpreted to suit the taste, for your correspondent is not au fait in such matters. There were dozens of carriages ; there were impressive services; there was a big crowd of people in the Church, and two bigger crowds of people on the sidewalks; there was much of show-and glitter and pomp- , and,after all, I don't believe they are any more married Ilium they would', be if they had "givensome poor minister, five dollars to perform the cere mony in ,the back , parlor,ln the presence of half a dozen witnesses. But then it may have a dispiriting effect on the; striking miners.' The trial or :John AirownAtt Patrick Lee, Jr., charged with.' the „burning ,ot Stillman ..4.% Co.'s Coal Breaker, near Mahanoy City, on the ' th of April last, has been occupying the Court Of Quarter Sessions since last Tuesday.

Wico.• rxem WILLIAMSPORT. tneampmentof the. Relights Templar TIMM DAY. Correepontlence. of the Philetla. Evening Bulletiuj WILLIAIvISP6RT, June 16.—The city began at an early hour this-morning to-show-signs-or unusualactivity and bustle. The country people and citizens of the neighborini , villiages crowded the sidewalkS and door-stePs; and waited anxiously for - the great event of the day,vvhich was the grand parade of the Knights Templar: Many residences were finely decorated ' with Ilowers,evergreens and flags; most conspicuous were the white flags with black and' red crosses, which floated in front Of the houses of the resident Knights. By the efticient,management of the &rand Marshal,' Sir • Win. N. No. 22; and his aids, Sir Knights J: R. Knipe, J. F.' Hart ranft, Grant Widman, Joshua T. Owen, A. S. Mason, Richard Jones, H. A. Witterger and S. B. Dick, the - line began to move at A. M. Their progress' , through, the city was a perfect Ovation. The streets- were so much crowded that in some-places the police had difficulty in cleating the way. It is estimated that there were at least ten thousand strangers in the city: These, and.rnost of the twenty-five thousand inhabitants of Willianisport,were out for a holi day, and all seemed determined to enjoy them selves. A slight deviation from the proposed -route was made on account of the bad condition of ' some of the streets in the lower end of the i -- town - orruch - to - the - disappointment - of - the rest- dents of those thoroughfares whichhadcto: be abaridened. The whole affair was magnifi cent. So many handsome, intelligent, respect able-looking men have never been seen together in this city. Their elegant uniforms and accoutrements, their flashing banners and waving plumes, formed a scene long to be re membered by all who witnessed it. The view from the elevated position occupied by your reporter, on West Fourth street, was strikingly beautiful. This is the principal thoroughfare of the city. it is very wide and is bordered on both sides by beautiful gardens and shaded by rows of tall trees. The Nicol son pavement afforded a splendid opportunity for a display of the matuctivres peculiar to the Order. With remarkable promptness and accuracy the Commanderies formed themselves into triangles, crosses, Sce., and marched in this way to the Race Track, adjoining the En campment, where the officers for the ensuing year were installed with due ceremony. The following was the order of the procession : First, a squad of policemen, in uniform. Baldwin 11. Commandery, No. 22, acting as Commanderies from other States, namely: St. Omar, of Elmira, N. Y.

OF Twelfth and Washington Streeti • STOME, No. 150 North Front Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. To whom it may rontrsn All the leading medical authorities recognize the value of diffusive stimulants. Numerous eminent physicians and Burgeons might be named who have advocated their employment in the treatment of a large class of dis• (orders. No Dispensztrris considered complete without them. They are prescribed in all public and private tlotpitals, and administered by all bedside practitioners. But the difficulty has peen to obtain Alcoholle Liquors Pure. The pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids present in all of tnein can be scented as the glass is raised to the lips.. The nauseous flavor of these active poisons is perceptible to the palate, and a burning sen ..ation in the stomach attests their, existence when the noxious draught has gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, in -anity and death are the pernicious fruits of such pota tions. Medical science asks for a pure stimulant to use as a •prcific, which, while it diffuses itself through the eye ,eni inure rapidly than any other, known agent, is wrought into direct and active contact with the seat of disease. It is the property of the stimulant to diffuse anti by the aid of its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate, regulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy union of the principle of activity with the principles of invigoration and restoration that enables PURE WHISKY To accomplish beneficial results. -Having great experience in the distilling of Whiskies, and the largest and best equipped establishment of its kind in the country, supplied with the latest improve ments In apparatus for cleansing Whisky of fusel oil and other impuritie . by strict pertional supervision the proprietors of Keystone Wheat Whisky Are enabled to offer a • • Pure Whisky Distilled freni WHEAT, and; being made from the grain, possesses all its Nutritious Qualities, And can be relied upon to he strictly as represented, having Wen examined thoroughly by the leading analytical chemists of this city, whose certificates of t i e purity and fitness for medical purposes are appended.
