HARRISBURG, PA
Monday Afternoon, September 9, 1861.
L. L. ALLEN, of Ohio, delivered his last lec
ture on temperance, in this city, in the lecture
room of the Baptist church last evening. There
was a large audience present, who manifested
much interest in the eloquent remarks of the
speaker.
TO MILITARY MEN . —An advertisement in
another column to military men we refer our
readers who are inclined to enter the service of
their country. We are assured the opportunity
offered is an excellent one, and none but effi
cient men need address. The company is to be
a crack one, and in every way worthy the at
tention of those who wish to enter a first class
regiment.
THE VERBEKE RIFLE - S.—This fine company,
which has a large number of men MOTH in, will
go into Camp Curtin to-morrow afternoon at
2 o'clock. If any of our young men intend to
offer their services to their country, they can
not enter into any company that possesses a
better set of men, or in which they would find
more pleasant associates. Great care has been
taken that none but good men should be taken
THE 17TH or SEPTEMBELL—retitiOIIS are circu
lating for signatures in Philadelphia, praying
the councils of that city to pass a joint resolu
tion recommending to all the citizens of Phila
delphia to commemorate the 17th day of Sep
tember next, the anniversary of signing the
Constitution of the United States, as far as pos
sible, by patriotic observances similar to those
which annually mark the return of the 4th of
July and the 22d of February. We suggest
similar action by the authorities of this city.
OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT BY ROWDIES.-At a late
hour last Saturday night a soldier from Camp
Curtin, named William O'Donnel while quietly
walking along Fourth street above Walnut was
attacked by three or foul rowdies who beat him
in such a merciless manner that he is not ex
pected to recover. When found, O'Donnel was
lying in the gutter apparently lifeless, with his
skull fractured and other parts of his body
badly bruised. He was carried to the residence
of Mr. John Thomas in Fourth street, where
a physician was summoned who dressed his
wounds, and yesterday morning he was removed
to the hospital at Camp Curtin, where he now
lies in a critical condition. His assailants are
known t 3 the police, and it is to be hoped that
they will be captured and dealt with according
to their deserts.
I=
POLICE MATURE. —A. white man, whose name
we could not learn, was put in the city lock-up
about two o'clock yesterday morning by Chief
Police Constable Radabaugh. The officer ar
rested him in the office of the Jones' House,
whither he had fled, having seen the officer ap
proaching up the street with a lantern: At
the healing before the Mayor•, he was identified
as the man who some time ago went to Dr.
Ruthei ford's office after night for the purpose of
getting a pistil ball extracted from his arm,
which he no doubt received in some burglarious
attempt. He is evidently a dangerous man in
the community, in consideration of which the
Mayor give him thirty days a cross the way.
A burley looking negro, named Hanibal Da
vis, was arrested last Saturday for stealing a
coat from Heir's hotel, the property of one of
the servants of that establishment. Justice
Beader sent him to prison to answer.
I=l
GEN. NECIELV s BRIGADE--We understand that
the organization of this brigade is proceeding
favorably, and that in a few days the General
will have three full regiments in camp. It is
understood that Col. Hambright's Lancaster
regiment goes into this brigade. The Colonel is
of German descent, and as he speaks the Ger
man language fluently, it is expected that a
large number of Teutons will join his command.
Capt. Sevier, who served with Gen. Siegel in
Germany, commands a company in this regi
ment.
We are also informed that Colonel Serwell's
Kittanning regiment will be attached to General
Negely's command. It is nearly full, and will
be in Camp Cameron next week. The General
himself has a regiment under way, which lacks
but a few men of having the full complement.
He must have four regiments to fill his brigade,
but with the three already secured, he can
hardly experience much difficulty in getting the
fourth.
DESERTERS IN PRISON.—Two German volunteers
named Norman and Schmidt are now in our
county prison,charged with desertion. They were
arrested at Lancaster on the authority of Lieut.
Col. Biddle, an aid to Gov. Curtin, and after
wards brought up on a writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Hays of that city, who after the
hearing remanded them to the custody of Lieut.
B. Lichty of Capt. Bolenius' company at Camp
Curtin, which gentleman in a card to the Lan
caster Evening Express of last Saturday thus con
tinues the particulars concerning the case, in
reply to a published letter of the deserters com
plaining of their ill treatment :
"After the hearing of the case, they were re
manded to my custody. Their friends then in
terfered and one of the prisoners made his es
cape. After considerable trouble and an at
tempt to escape on their part, they were put
into the county prison and kept there until one
o'clock a. m. As they had made several at
tempts to escape, we thought it prudent to have
them handcuffed together until they would ar
rive at Camp Curtin. On their arrival there
they were immediately taken to Capt. Bolenius,
who told them that if they would hereafter
obey orders he would at once release them.
They refused to do so, and he then ordered
them to be taken to the guard house and kept
there until 0 o'clock a. m. They were not kept
there more than two and a half hours. The
commanding officer then ordered them to be
taken to prison until they were willing to sub
mit. Norman and Schmidt served under Capt.
Bolenius during the three months' ser Vita, and
seemed well satisfied with the treatment they
then received. If they had not been treated
well, is it reasonable to suppose that they would
have re-enlisted for three years for the thirty
dollars bounty which they allege had been
pro
al.sed them."
HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS AT ME DEPOT
-4 New York Lieut. Colonel on his Travels.—Quite
an excitement occurred at the depot yesterday
morning, which for a time threatened to cul
minate in a very serious disturbance. It ap
pears that a train of cars arrived here from
New York city, containing three or four compa
nies of cavalry under the command of a Lieut.
Colonel named Kilpatrick, intended to fill up a
regiment of cavalry, now in Washington city.
There was some delay at the depot, owing to
there being no locomotive ready to draw the
train, when the Lieut. Colonel, a pompous
looking dapper little individual, with " import
ance " written all over him, detailed a squad of
men to proceed to the Round-House of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co. and procure a locomotive
vi et arinis. Mr. Young, Superintendent of the
Eastern Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
hearing of these proceedings, at once went to
the Round-House, where he found the squad in
possession of a locomotive, which they had
fired up and were in the act of putting in mo
tion for the depot. He politely requested them
to leave the establishment, which they refused
to do, at the same time using highly insult
ing language ; whereupon Mr. Young, who is
a stout-limbed, muscular man, struck out from
his right shoulder with a force that sent one of
the soldiers on a balloon expedition some five
feet from the locomotive. The other soldiers
at once pitched into Mr. Young, who gave
every promise of being able to finish them
off in detail, when they finally concluded
that " discretion was the better part
of valor," and left for reinforcements. They
soon returned to the round house, their number
augmented to ten or fifteen, but in the mean
time the employees of the machine shop had
rallied in full force, and evinced a determina
tion to defend the company's property to the
last. The soldiers looked with dismay upon
this formidable array of men, and without
making the least demonstration turned and re
traced their steps to the depot. Mr. Young, on
his return to the depot, hunted up the officer
in command, when the aforesaid dapper little
Lieutenant Colonel presented himself.
"By what authority do you take possession of
private property," asked the Superintendent in
a calm, yet firm and dignified voice.
"fly military authority, sir 1" responded the
diminutive "Importance," giving his mustache
a twirl that had an awe inspiring effect.
Mr. Young intimated that when that au
thority eminated from the proper quarter he
would cheerfully obey it, but he would not per
mit such outrageous proceedings in a place where
the civil law was still superior to the law
The little officer here commenced to fume and
fret in a manner laughable to look upon. Ac
cording to his account he had put a steam-boat
captain in irons, and wouldn't stop a momen t
to put the Superintendent, the Directors, Presi
dent, and all the attachees of the road in the
same condition. He was a terrible little custo
mer, this little Lieutenant Colonel.
During the above coloquy, some of the sol
diers seized the small locomotive Ontario—used
for shifting cars—belonging to the Lebanon
Valley Railroad Company, and attached it to
the train with the view of running it to Balti
more. Fortunately by this time a large loco
motive intended to draw the train arrived from
the other side of the river, and things were
about being put in ship-shape order, when
another disturbance was created by the Lieute
nant Colonel placing four of the soldiers on the
engine. The engineer, not liking this arrange
ment refused to move the train. The dapper
little Lieutenant Colonel again made his ap
pearance, and threatened to hang the engineer
as high as Haman, when one of the officials of the
road, opportunely arriving at the scene, ordered
the soldiers from the locomotive, which they
obeyed, and in a few moments the train started
on its way to Baltimore.
When about seventeen miles this side of that
city, near Ccokeysville, the axle of one of the
cars broke, causing nearly the whole train to
be thrown from the track, and killing four of
the soldiers instantly, mortally wounding three,
and wounding less seriously eight or nine others.
During the excitement produced by the acci
dent, it was alleged that the engineer had pur
posely caused the catastrophe, when the sol:
diers, led on by their half-witted commanding
officer, made a rush for him with the view of
taking his life. He, however, contrived to of
feet his escape, not, however, before several pis
tol shots were fired at him, one of the balls
passing through his hat and just grazing his
scalp.
Among the killed was a nephew of the late
Brigadier General Lyon—the wheels of the cars
haying passed directly over the centre of his
body, literally cutting him in half. He was
Quarter-Master Sergeant of the regiment.
Privates James M'Donald and German were
also killed.
The following privates were slightly wounded:
Francis Flinn, Peter Peterson, A. O'Donnell,
James C. Donnelly, Henry Wallen, James En
glish ; and the following wounded badly : Geo.
Vonschaire and Michael Denny.
The killed and wounded were taken to Balti
more and placed in the hospital.
In justice to the Northern Central Railroad,
it is proper to state that the cars composing the
train belonged to the New Jersey Central Rail
road, having came direct from Jersey City with
out being changed.
It is stated that when the accident occured,
two or three of the soldiers were on the locomo
tive with the engineer, which certainly fully ex
honorates the latter with any complicity in
causing the melancholy occurrence.

A SOLDIER KILLED ON Tut RAILROAD.-A vol
unteer belonging to one of the Schuylkill coun
ty companies, now at Camp Curtin, while at
tempting to get on passing a train of cars near
the iron bridge over the canal on the Lebanon
Valley Railroad last Saturday night, missed his
footing and fell under the wheels, which passed
over him, crushing both of his legs and the
fingers of his left hand. He died while being
removed to Camp Curtin.

ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL, NEW YORK.—We call
the attention of our readers to the advertise
ment, in another column, of this palatial Hotel,
whose Proprietors, with a view to meet the ex
igencies of the times, have reduced the price of

LECTURE ON HAI-ff.—Joseph E. Williams, a
native of Middletown, this county, will deliver
a lecture this evening in the Methodist Church,
Tanner's alley, on the commercial, political
and advantages of emigration to Hayti. Mr.
Williams is an intelligent looking colored man,
and is apparently well booked up in the affairs of
the Haytian Republic. He has resided in that
country since last June, and has been appointed
by the authorities there an emigration agent for
the State of Indiana. We have no doubt his
lecture will be highly entertaining and instruc
tive. Seats free to all.
EEPLOSTVE MATERIAL IN BERNIE° FLUID. —A
correspondent sends a Philadelphia paper the
following in reference to the manufacture of
burning fluid : "As accidents from burning fluid
explosions are increasing in numbers daily, let
me call your attention to fact a that every one
using the article should know. Certain parties
are using in the manufacture of the fluid, benzine
made from coal tar, as a substitute for turpen
tine, the latter having risen in price, owing to
the blockade of southern States. The fluid
made with benzine is fearfully explosive, and
the slightest defect in a lamp may cause death
to even the most careful in filling and handling
the article."
FOUND DEAD.—Last Saturday afternoon Al
derman Kline was called upon to hold an in
quest on the remains of a man, found dead in
Eby & Kunkle's warehouse, at the canal, foot
of Walnut street. The deceased was about fifty
years of age, but nothing could be found about
him to ascertain his name or place of residence.
Some people residing iu the vicinity had seen
him alive a few hours previous, and it is sup
posed that he wandered into the warehouse,
fell asleep, and died with the disease of the
heart. The jury rendered a verdict of "death
by visitation of God," and the remains of the
deceased were taken to the poor house for in
terment.
HORSES AND CATTLE FOR THE AUMY.—An im
mense number of horses and cattle passed
through the city last week, en route for the seat
of war. On Monday night eighty car loads ar
rived at Pittsburg over the Pittsburg and Cleve
land road, on Tuesday night seventy-six car
loads, on Wednesday thirty-five, and on Thurs
day night fifty-four. These are, of course, ex
clusive of what came in over the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago road. They suffer no
detention at Pittsburg, and are shipped to the
Capital with the least possible delay. We un
derstand that there are over five thousand horses
for the use of the army in the neighborhood I f
Washington now, besides an enormous number
of mules and cattle. The latter are obtained
principally from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and
these of them, that we have seen at least, were
in very fair condition.
