THE BIDDLE GUARDS, Capt. George K. Shull,
recently organized at Liverpool, have tendered

the market, says, "hemp is quiet." The arti
cle will not rest so lung, as it will very speedi
ly be in groat demand for stringing up traitors.
SIILDIERS BATHING.—The volunteers at camp
Curtin now take baths regularly in the Susque
hanna, a most excellent sanitary measure and
highly conducive to health. They march to
and Irom the river in squads and companies.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD. —A few nights ago
a num - named Barney Logue, about sixty years
of age, was killed by a passenger train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at the crossing below
Patterson. He was on the track at the time,
and the accident was the result of his own
carelessness.
MILITARY Dam.—The organization of home
companies for military drill should be encour
aged everywhere. Two or three are now in
Successful operation in this city, and our young
men are rapidly perfecting themselves in the
science of war. In times like the present every
able-bodied man should familiarize himself
with military tactics. Let all who are able to
bear arms attach themselves to some military
organization and strive to acquire as much
knowledge on the subject as possible. The
services of the stay-at-home patriots may not
be required immediately, but the future looks
dark, and we should hold ourselves in readi
ness, so that when called upon we will be ready
to enter upon active service, not as raw re
cruits, but as well-drilled soldiers.
......-•..-.--...
GENEROUS AND Parmortc —The Steuben Mon
ument Association of this city, composed of
German adopted citizens, have contributed one
hundred dollars to the fund for the mainten
ance of the families of volunteers now in the
service of their cuuntry. This money was re
alized from a festival held hereabout two years
ago for the purpose of raising funds to aid in
the erection of a monument over the remains
of Baron Steuben, and placed in bank, subject
to the order of a committee of the Association.
The monument having been abandoned, the
members of the Association held a meeting re
cently, resolved to dispose of the fund as above
stated, and placed in the hands of Mayor Kep
ner a check for the full amount. This is an
act of generosity and patriotism on the part of
our German fellow-3itizens worthy of the
highest commendation.
I=2:=l
ARMY BLANEETS.-A Camp Scott correspond
ent, after speaking of the villainous quality of
the clothing of many of the volunteers—not
fit to wear, because of the rotten quality of the
cloth and bad sewing—and of the miserable
shoes of many companies, says of blankets :
" I saw a pile of blankets thrown outside
the commissary's tent of one of the regiments,
any one of which could be torn to atoms as
readily as a sheet of brown paper. Held by
the four corners, an ordinary pleasant breeze
would split them from end to end. They are
not fit for a decent horse or dog, much less for
brave men. They are about as well calculated
to keep men warm and comfortable in a cool
night as a piece of bobbinet. The only use I
can find for them will be to make mosquito
bars, should they hold together untll the sol
diers reach the South."
The writer says the rations are good and
abundant—the troops remarkably healthy—
their drill and discipline most admirable—
but he would not hesitate to hang the rascals
who have swindled them in blankets, shoes
and clothing.
I=C=l
ENTERTAINING THE SOLDIERS. — The "Buck-
Tails" are not the only soldiers in Camp Cur
tin who "fare sumptuously" just now, thanks
to the kind-hearted and patriotic ladies of our
city, who dispense their hospitality to all alike.
Yesterday the Cookman Rangers, Capt. J. W.
Fisher, and the Irish Infantry, Capt. Dennis
M'Gee, were the recipients of bountiful sup
plies of pies, cakes and other delicacies, and
the treat was properly appreciated by the gal
lant men who have abandoned comfortable
homes and luxurious fare for the hardships and
privations of a soldier's life in defence of their
country's flag. Both companies passed resolu
tions of thanks to the fair donors. The "Buck-
Tails" were again in luck yesterday, several
ladies presenting them with a large number of
substantial woolen shirts, an article of apparel
which many of them greatly needed. On Sat
urday next the National Guard and two or
three other companies will be feasted by the
ladies, who are making extensive preparations
for that purpose, and we can safely promise
them a sumptuous entertainment. We doubt
whether the volunteers in any Pennsylvania en
campment have fared as well as those in Camp
Curtin. In the language of a soldier who fully
appreciates and is grateful for the generous
hospitality with which himself and his brave
companions-in-arms have been treated, we say,
"God bless the warm-hearted and patriotic la
dies of Harrisburg. " Long may they live
under the protection of the stars and stripes,
in the enjoyment of "Liberty and Union, owe
and insearable."
After writing the above we learned that this
forenoon several large baskets of provisions
were forwarded to camp and distributed among
the soldiers. The contents of the baskets com
prised home-made bread, pies and cakes, and
other substantial edibles. Some gentlemen
also kindly furnished an ample supply of to
bacco, for the benefit of those who use the ar
ticle and have not the means to purchase it,
111 E SORE THROAT prevails to a considerable
extent in this community, among adults and
children. The disease, however, readily pit ids
to prompt and proper medical treatment, and
we have not heard of any cases resulting fa
tally.

THE PEACH Cnop.--When the peach passes
the middle of Mar uninjured, it is considered
safe ; and the peach growers in this region sly
they will have an average crop this season.—
The trees are not so full as usual, but the fruit
looks thrifty and promises to be large and fine.

CAPTURED. —Yesterday afternoon the Chief of
Police and officer Cole found fourhogs and two
or three horses running at lag° in the upper
scollop of the city, in violation of a municipal
ordinance. The animals were captured and
impounded. This morning the owners appear
ed at the Mayor's office and tedeerned them.
LIBERAL CONTRIBUTION. —The State Capital
Lodge, No. 70, Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows, recently contributed twenty dollars to
the fund for the maintenance of the families
of those of our citizens who volunteered to
serve their country in the present war. The
money was placed in the hands of the Mayor of
the city.
HINTS FOR OUR SOLDIERS. -An experienced
gentleman, for twenty years well acquainted
with the South and the Southern climate, makes
the following suggestions for the benefit of our
troops : " A bunch of green leaves worn un
der the crown of the hat will effectually pre
vent sun strokes. Northern troops must keep
entirely free of ardent spirits, or else more
will be killed in that way than by the seces
sionists.''
.....--,41,..---..
A GOOD IDEA.—We notice that the New York
volunteers are being re-vaccinated, as fast as
circumstances permit. This is a wise precau
tionary measure and might be imitated with
advantage here. Though our camp is now
free from small-pox, there is no telling when
or where it might break out, so that the re
vaccination of our volunteers is a step which
must commend itself to all alike as necessary
and judicious
1=0=:1
NATIONAL STORE HOIME.—The Secretary of
War has leased the Novelty Iron Works Build
ing iu this city for a government store house,
from which provisions will be furnished to the
various Federal Camps in our State. Capt.
Du Barry, of the United States Army, the Com
missary in charge of this establishment, is ac
tively engaged in procuring the requisite supplies
so that hereafter our volunteers in the United
States camps will not suffer for want of provis
ions. The building is a substantial and spa
cious one, admirably adapted to the purpose for
which it has been selected.
NEXT STATE FAIL-At the last meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society a com
mittee was appointed to select a proper place
to hold the next annual exhibition, and the
town or city offering the beat inducements to
be selected. The committee have accordingly
advertised their intentions, and it remains to
be decided where the location shall be. Pro
posals have been proffered for holding the same
in Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. If
the business men of our city understand their
own interests, they will offer sufficient "induce
ments" to secure the location of the Fair here.
FLAG 'RAISING. —An American Flag was raised
at Rossville, York county, yesterday, with ap
propriate ceremonies. A large number of pa
triotic people, including many ladies, were in
attendance from the rural districts, and partici
pated in the demonstration. The glorious em
blem of our nationality was run up to its des
tined place on the flag staff, amidst the sounds
of martial music, the singing of the Star Ban
ner, and the shouts of the patriotic masses pre
sent. During the progress of the interesting
ceremonies appropriate and eloquent addresses
were delivered by Dr. A. C. Hetrick, S. H.
Heyward, C. H. Underwood and others.—
Our friends in Rossville and vicinity are all for
the Union, and ready to fight in its defence
should their services be required.
I=l=l
FREE SPEECR.—Thousands of our young men
have left their homes to fight for their coun
try against the traitors of the South. They go
to fight for liberty and law at the call of their
country. While these gallant fellows are fol
lowing the stars and stripes, we must see that
the enemy does not receive "aid and comfort"
from the counsels and correspondence of trai
tors at home. The government is safe so long
as the States which remain true to the Union
do not permit traitors in their midst. Sympa
thy with rebels is not "free speech," but trea
son. Let every true heart unite in the senti
ment of Jackson--" The Union, it must and
shall be preserved."

THE GUARD AT THE ARMORY. —This guard is
composed of twentyeight men, who relieve
each other in ~squads of eight, at intervals of
of two hours. At nine o'clock in the morn
ing a fresh company of twenty eight comes
down from Camp Curtin, and those who have
been upon guard for twenty-four hours return
to the camp. After being upon duty all night,
often standing for hours in the rain, and not
allowed to have any fire about, on account of
the large quantity of powder stored in the
building, these men are just in a condition to
relish a cup of hot coffee in the morning.
Sometimes they have been supplied by citizens
living in the vicinity and have fairly danced
at the sight of the steaming beverage and fresh
rolls that unexpectedly came to take the place
of cold water and hard crackers. Arrange
ments have now been made by some of the
neighbors to furnish them with hot coffee every
morning for the next two weeks ; and, unless
suitable provisions be made by the authorities
to continue this supply regularly at the public
expense, other citizens will be invited to take
their turn in enjoying the luxury of treating
these men as we would like to be treated under
similar circumstances.
WE are keeping up our usual full stock of
fancy goods. Customers can had almost any
thing in that line at Keller's Drug store, 91
Market street.

VERBEKE Rints.—A gentleman direc , from
Camp Johnson reports the members of the
Verbeke Rifle company all well and in good

dissatisfied with the quality and quanity of ra
tions they have been receiving
THE SANFORD TROUPE, One of the b .st

loving citizens with a series of entertainments the
present week, commencing this evening. San
ford is to be commended for the liberality and
patriotism he has lately, evinced in giving
away the proceeds of his house in Philadelphia
for the last ten nights—amounting to almost
twelve hundred dollars-- to the volunteer sol
diers of that city. We hope our play going
citizens will greet him to-night with a full
house and enthusiastic welcome.
THE CAMERON GUARDS are still in the vicini
ty of Cockeysville, guarding the railroad bridges.
They are kindly and hospitably treated by the
women in that neighborhood, who provide them
with fresh and wholesome provisions. ' The
members of the company generally enjoy good
health, but are growing weary of their mono
tonous mode of life, and long to be engaged in
active service. The boys are " spiling" for
something to do, and would like to pitch into
the rebels. 'When the time comes, Capt. Eyster
and his men will win as many laurels as any
other company in the service.
DESERTERS —When men volunteer to fight
for their country they should not let anything
turn them from their purpose. If sick, or dis
qualified by any bodily infirmities to serve, a
man can be honorably discharged; but any one
who deserts invests himself with a mantle of
shame that will cling to him like the poisoned
shirt of Nessus. Here is an instance of the
manner in which a deserter is received at home,
copied from a late Berwick paper :
"Jacob Puff, of Nescopeck, Luzerne county,
who went with the volunteers from this place,
deserted the camp and came home one day
last week. He was waited upon by a commit
tee at his home, and brought to this borough
on Saturday last. He was then carried through
the streets on a rail, and egged. Served him
right. He should have been treated to a coat
of tar and feathers, which in our opinion
would be still too lenient."
CORN PLANTING.—The last week has been a
busy one with our farmers, who are uow en
gaged in putting in their corn. The weather
was quite favorable for this important opera
tion, and the kernels of promise were embodded
n many broad acres and fertile fields. More
than the usual extent in Dauphin county will
be covered with corn this season. This is right.
Farmers can rely on having a good market for
all the crops they will be able,to raise. Every
farmer should appropriate a piece of ground to
the culture of the small white bean, commonly
called the " soup bean," used extensively in
the army and navy. It is still time to plant
them. Should the present war continue any
length of time, which is very likely, beans will
be in great demand. It will pay farmers to
raise them.
MORE WORK FOR TEM LADIES.-HAVELOCK
Assomanoris.—One of the "Ladies' Havelock
Associations," of New York city, has just sent
out eleven hundred of the Havelock cap covers
to the Seventh Regiment, and they are delight
ed with them, adding as they do greatly to the
comfort of the troops. One of these associa
tions has already caused cap covers, of pattern
and material approved by military officers, to
be transmitted to nearly a hundred cities and
towns of the loyal States, one of which is in
possession of Mayor Kepner of this city. Mr.
Ruggles has issued an address to the. Mayor of
each city to which a Havelock.has been sent, in
which he urges the ladies to form associations
for making these sun protectors. We are sure
it is only necessary to mention the fact here.
Experience has shown that troops serving in,
warm climates generally need protection from
"sun-stroke," often quite as dangerous and
fatal as the fire of the enemy. The provident
care of the British officers in India, and in the
Crimea, furnished their soldiers with thick,
white, linen cap covers, reflecting instead of ab
sorbing the heat of the sun, and having a cape
long enough to fully cover the back of the
neck. They were also extensively worn by the
French at Solferino. The average temperature
of the regions around Washington is quite as
high as that of the Crimea. A covering of
some description will be indispensable for our
troops when serving on the scorching plains of
the South. About fifty covers can be made
from a piece of linen of twenty-three yards,
costing about thirty cents a yard ; and about
seventy from every ten yards of thick white
linen sheeting, two yards and a half wide, and
costing about sixty-five cents a yard. A com
mon traveling trunk will contain about eight
hundred cap covers, and should be sent by ex
press directly to the Colonel or the Regimental
Quarter Master. Ladies, shall we have a "Have
lock Association" in this city ?
