According to a pron?ise made in last Saturday's
dedronl, we primeed to describe the occurrences
of the past ten days; and in, commencing, • we
would say that:our Borough never before witnes
sed so great a concourse of people, orexperien•
.- cer.l so tremendous an'excitement, sisthat haddiere
:-- -
(luring the, week of the Eticarripmot. Indepen
dent of the volunteers, our_ otels,and dwellings
were throriged with visi•ers from" almost every
portion of the country—the miners left their, ein
ployment, anikgathered in tervitness the display
--the.pickpocket the gamidei, and the courtezan,
( all grattiitioui importations) were busy at their
!talons avocations of. vice ; and some of_apur so
ber-minded citizensc6cluded that Military Eh:
canipments were no great acquisitions to a dis
trict, paiticitlarly in a moral Point of view. How
ever k is impossible for the most provident to a
-aett such conscoences, sii4ilismissing. disa
gteeable subject, we will go en to chronicle time.'

early, on Wlnesday,_, from Minersville, and was
.ezeorted to Penna. Hall by the Artillerists of that
place, from whence he proceeded to the -Camp
coroud, mid . took 'possession of his marquee„ as
Commander in Chief „ef the Troops. Nothing
' <immured of eny : importance' until 10 o'clock in
- the livening, when information was received in
tha,Crunp that the Hamburg Artillerists_ had ar
o rivedsltrind a detachment was immediately sent
out to escort them; The evening was very dark,
- ancithe effect of their entering the Camp was
wild and beautiful. The lights of the guidet.

easily to be forgotten or difficult to appreciate.
On Friday, the '
several cionpanics,coinposing
the Reading Battalion, 'and the fine company of
Pinegrove Guards arrived, and-were escorted to
v the Camp ground, by the Battalion from ,Schuyl
- county. They were introduced formally to
their quarters, which they. took possession of, and
,all;appeared upon the Dress Parade of the same
evening. The Reading Battalion came up under
I the command of the , senior officer, Capt: Thomas
Loeser, who is a good ellfcient commander,' and
el every inch s soldier."' The hlineraville_ Blues
also came into Camp on' Friday morning,
Adjutant Genera! Adam, Diller reviewed the
.',.Troops on • Saturday morning, 'and the parade
• was one of the must brilliant of the whole period:

After, the review the Brigade was divided oft into
Battalions-the Cavalry under the command I -of
Capt. Wynko.,ip--trthe Artillery, Capt. Lciesei-- 77
the Infantry , Col. William F. Dean, and the Rt- - .
fie, Capt. Doerflinger. -The effect of the various
. bodies peiferming their diff Tent- evolutions - m•
4epara'-e portions of the ground, with the General„
Staff, splendidly uniformed, gathered together
near the centre, was 'indescribably beautiful. The
• movements of the Artillery and Inrantry werereg
ular, all moving as one man ; and we heard Co!.
Dean say that he could drill such a body of men
for one. week without tiring.
. • Oa Sunday morning the drum was beat at
eight' o'ilock;for the companies to form in their
• streets, preparatory: to service, and a few minutes
• after Wards they. all gloved out to a slow march
I from the Band, and' iormed ' in front of the flag

beautify! and appropri do sermon was '
.delivered
•:' to them by the Rec. R. T. Thomas, of this Bor
t' cough, Throughout the day, in accordance with
the' particular r. quest of Gen. Hammond,, the
-strietesti_sobriety and order was preserved in the
Camp; the silence of which was only broken by
' • the morning and evening grin, and the music ac
- ' c onapiinying.tbe Dress 'Parades.
On - ,llenday morning, news having been re

that General Valliamll. - Keimkid

arrived, the Troops were all drawn up in eider of

ter the. review, the whole body moved into the

you may rest assured that, as soon

a disposition to prevent the ',numerous frauds and
enormities whirl have occurred in the Board of.
Canal Commissioners heretofore, by placing upon
the nomination good business men, wi , hout re
gard to party bias or feeling' From all we have
learned, we are of oPinion that the Convsntion of
the 6th of September, would carry out the desires
of the peepie by nominating such ti ticket. We
have heard Mr. James Clark spoken of, who, al.
tho Ugh a Locofoco. is knoirp among all 'parties to
he a trustworthy, honest man; he was driven out
of the Board fur his opposition to the Porter rob
beries, and the people would consult the interests
of the majority by 'reinstating him, along with
two good : business:Wliigtini 'the coming,eleetion.
The danger titendinictjisrty Board would thus
be avoided, .and the chick whicbone party would
-hold on the abet, woultlitut a perfect' assurance
of fidelity to the trust. Thetime is fast approach
ing, when some choice must be made; and .we, in
Common with the mass, wieh to sec staunch and
true men nominated.
