Pennsylvania needs Blankets and Stockings
for her 80,000 brave soldiers, in arms to support
the Government. '
Every factory capable of making-- Blankets,
even to a single loom, should at once be put in
operation. Liberal contracts will be given to
all such.
Blankets should be wool grey ; 7 feet long by
6 ft. 6 in. wide, and weigh full 5 pounds, with
the letter P. V. in black, 4 inches long; in the
centre of each Blanket. •
Stockings will be needed the coming winter
.—half-hose or socks, good sizes, one-fourth
pound each. Let every mother, wife and sister
knit one or more pairs. •
Let associations be formed in each county,
with a treasurer at the county seat, with whom
the stockings can be deposited and forwarded
to the military store at Harrisburg. The 'United
States contract price, twenty-five cents per
pair, will be paid to each county treasurer,
and thus a fund can be raised to supply the
wants of volunteer families, to which every
patriotic woman in the State can contribute her
share. R. C. HALE, .

Gstrristsszr Your note of the 15th Inst., has been re

fited by the use of Wood's Hair Restorative, and request
log my certificate of the fact If I bad no objection to
give tt. .
I award it to you cheerfully, because I think it due.—
My age is about 50 years ; the color of my hair auburn,
and inclined to curl. Some five or six years since it be
gan to turn gray, and the scalp on the crown of my head
to lose its sensibility and dandruffto form upon IL Each
of them disagreeabdltlea increased witn time, and about
four months since a fourth was added to them, by hair
falling off the top of my head and threatening to make
me bald.
In this unpleasant predicament, I was induced to try
Wood's Hair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling
off of my hair, for 1 bad really no expectation that gray
hair could ever be restored to its original color except
from dyes. I was, however, greatly surprised to find
after the use of two bottles only, that not only was the
falling oft arrested, but the color was restored to the gray
hairs and sensibility to the scalp, and dandruff ceased to
form on my head, very much to the gratification of my
wife, at whose solicitation I was induced to try it.
For this, among the many obligations I owe to her sex,
I strongly recommend all husbands who value the ad
miration of their wives to profit by my example, and
use it if growing gray or getting bald.
Very respectfully, BEN. A. LAVENDER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1861.
Private Wm. Scott, company K, Third regi
ment Vermont volunteers, having been found
guilty by court martial of sleeping on his post
while a sentinel on picket guard, has been
sentenced to be shot, and the sentence has been
approved and ordered. to be executed. The
commanding officer of the brigade, the regiment
and the company of the condemned, together
with many other officers and privates of his re
giment had earnestly appealed to the Maj. Gen.
Com. to spare the life of the offender, and the
President of the U. 8. expressed a wish that as
this is the first condemnation to death in this
army for this crime, mercy may be extended to
the criminal. This fact, viewed in connection
with the inexperience of the condemned as a
soldier, his previous good conduct, and general
good character,. and the urgent entreaties made
in his behalf, have determined the Major Gen
eral commanding to grant the pardon so ear
nestly prayed for .
This act of clemency must not be understood
as affording a precedent for any future case.
The daty of a sentinel is of such a nature
that its neglect by sleeping upon or deserting
his post may endanger the safety of a command
or even of the whole army, and all nations affix
to the offence the penalty of death.
Private Wm. Scott, company K., third regi

of Executive clemency.

At the camp of Col. Young's regiment of
Kentucky cavalry, Sunday noon, a soldier
named Henderson shot another named Waller,
while performing duty as a guard. There is no
prospect of his recovery. •
Sergeant Joseph H. Bryson was the officer of
the day, and owing to his presence of mind and
demeanor, discipline was secured to the camp.
Walter fell at the feet of Sergeant Bryson,
who immediately disarmed Henderson of his
revolver, had him put under guard, and
then attended to the wound of the sentinel,
who is now at the Washington Hospital.
The Burnham breech-loading cannon is now
being tested at the Navy Yard: here.
The Sanitary Commission have recommended
the War Department to increase the Hospital
accommodations here, by adding fifteen thous
and beds to the number already prepared.
The defalcation of• Purser Gallagher, of the
Navy, amounts to over one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. The money has been re
covered.
Everything is very quiet here and along the

St. Louis Democrat for the following items :
About one hundred and twenty-five of the
wounded in the hospital in this place were dis
charged to 4y and will leave for home as soon
as the ambulances sent from Rolla arrive here.
The remainder of the wounded in the hospital
are doing well. All the rebels wounded have
been sent to Bensonville, a few miles below the
Arkansas line. One of their surgeons informs
me that the typhoid fever has broken out in
their hospital and their deaths amount to fif
teen or twenty per day.
Gen. McCullough is reported to be at Mount
Vernon, recruiting and organizing for a bold
and vigorous effort northward.
There are various rumors about Generals Price
and Rains having taken Fort Scott, defeated
Col. Montgomery, captured all his stores, arms,
&c., and taken nearly all his command, himself
among the rest as prisoners, but they need con
firmation.
Gen. Jackson, with his body-guard, arrived
here to-day, but his future movements are un
known.
ST. Loins, Sept. B.—Mr. Murphy, a member
of the firm of Torbest & Co., of Lynn Creek,
Camden county, now in this city, received ad
vices light night that their store was robbed on
Thursday by a band of 160 secessionists, headed
by a preacher named Johnson, of Lane's
Prairie, and property to the amount of $llO,OOO
carried off.
Cot McClung, another member of the firm,
is at Jefferson City, in command of a regiment
of 'United States troops. This firm also own
two steamers running on the Osage river, one
of which the rebels seized, but as the river is
too low for navigation, it is thought they will
destroy her.
The postmaster at Osceola, St.'Clair county,
reports that when he left news had just reached
there of a fight between Gen. lane's Kansas
regiment and a body of rebels under Gen. Rains.
in which the latter were completely routed
with a heavy loss, and Gen. Rains was taken
prisoner.
Gen. Price, who was at Osceola, credited the
report.
FREDIRICKSTOWN, Mo., Aug. 29.—The eight
regiments assembled here (including that of the
renowned Gen. Hecker) have received orders to
march "to the South" at 8 o'clock to-day. The
Hecker regiment has passed a heavy crisis. A
conspiracy of the officers of two companies
against the Colonel was sprung some time ago,
but failed. The soldiers breathe free again ;
the old man remains with them to carry them to
victory and honor. During an absence of Col.
H. on regiment business, the dark plot was to
be executed ; the mines were laid, but explod
ed, destroying the originators of the plan.
The following officers were discharged from
the regiment by Col. H., this forenoon, who
had received the necessary power for this object
from Gen. Fremont :
Company A—Captain, Th. Lang ; That Lieu
tenant, A Gerhardy ; Second Lieutenant, J.
Tovel.
Company E— Captain, A. Mauff ; First Lieu
tenant, G. A. Busse ; Second Lieutenant, E. F .
C. Klekke.
All these gentlemen are well known at Chi
cago, and their discharge will not create much
excitement there. Also Major Ilene, who was
rarely seen with the regiment was dismissed.
Lientenant•Colonel Meholtz received permis
sion to give in his resignation in ten days.
