l)c 3cfiev$oniau. THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1861.' A chance to Volunteer. We learn that the Secretary of War has- authorized Col. D. B. Birncy, of the 23rd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, to re organize his Regiment for the war. The Regiment will be organized as a Zouave Corps, will be handsomely uniformed and e- quipped, armed with rifles and sword tmyo nets, and will bo, in all respects, a crack Re gimcnt. The mustering in of Companies has -iw.n.1., ,mmicod. and. in a few days, a uii cauj ' damn will lio formed on the Wissahikon near Philadelphia, when the active duties o M,iinr's liffl will be commenced. Each company will be mustered in as soon as rea dy, and provided for. A company will con sist of one Captain, one 1st Lieutenant, one 2nd Lieutenant, one 1st Sergeant, four Ser grants, 6 Corporals, two Musicians, one Wa goner and eighty Privates, and the Colone will accept companies or sq lads with their own officers, provided the latter are compe tent. As Col. Birney ranks high as an offi cer, this is a first rate opportunity for the young men of Monroe county who desire to eerve their country in the tented field. 0On Friday evening last Constable Decker of Stroud township, upon information received from below the mountain, arrested a darkey family, consisting of man and wife, and confined them in our county jail. The circumstances which led to the arrest are as follows: This family, with an extra lady ol color and two chidren, some lime since, squat ted on a premises belongi ng to John JT. Sta ples, in Wolf Hollow, and had a strange habit of making mysterious visits to the regions of Lower Mount Bethe!, Northampton county, invariably returning with mysterious bundles and packages. Suspicion as to their hones ty, however, was not excited until rumors of missing provision, clothing, dry goods and trinkets reached the ears of those residing in the neihborhnod, from their Mount Bethel neighbors, when the arrest was made. Upon searching the premises, after the arrest, some eighteen or twenty fine hams, a lot of cloth thing, probably gathered from half a dozen clothes-lines, quite a large quantity of dry goods, &c, &c , were found secreted beneath the tloor. On WeJnesJay (yesterdav) morn ing Constable Werkheiser, of Forks town ship, Northampton county, arrived in town with theextra woman and the children, and at noon, left uith the whole party for Easton, where they will be tried for their crimes. The darkey gae his name as John Ilinsler, and was very indignant when the Constable presented him with a pair of steel bracelets. 07Old Kentucky has again most glorious ly expressed her attachment and devotion to the Government under w hich we live. "She was the first new State to come into the U nion, and she will be the last to go out." In spite of the recent National disaster at Ma tiassas.and the sneaking but vindictive treach ery of her Senators, Breckenridge and Pow ell, and her representative Burnet, Kentucky has by a tremendous vote repeated the ver dict she declared in June. Then she gave nc;ir fifty thousand majority for uncondition al loyalty to the Union, in her choice of Rep resentatives to Congress. Now with a far less important issue before the people, and under greater difficulties, she has given uear !y as great a majority for the maintenance of the Union and Constitution against the at tack of all their enemies. The new Legi-'a-ture is largely for the Union, and compara tively few of the counties have given a de cent vote for secession. 07"An addition of some twenty names to our subscription list, within the last two weeks, a goodly portion accompanied with the "rocks," was not the least gratifying evi dencc that if the times are hard, the printer is still remembered.
