A SINULAR MATCH. —Last evening, after work
;r g hours, two of the blacksmiths connected
with the Round House of the Pennsylvania
Bail toad made up a match to run a race of one
hundred yards for a stake of five dollars—one
to hop the distance and lbe other to perform
it to the ordinary mode of running. The race
as won by the hopper, who came to the score
t least two lengths ahead of his competitor.

Ina Music STORE of our friend Wm. Knoche,
91 Market Street, is one of the finest estab
hments in the city, and never fails to attract
s attention of the by-passers. It is the em
rim of the musical trade hereabouts, and to
eet the demand Mr. Knoche is necessarily
oupelled to keep a large supply. There is not
musical instrument from a jews-harp up to a
et class piano or a church organ that Mr.
noche caunot supply you with—nor is there a
,age of sheet music published, but what can be

COE
EFFECT or MUSIC ON VIE Stns.—The effect of
susic on the sick has been scarcely at all no
ked. In fact its expensiveness, as it is now,
sakes any general application of it out of the
uestion. Wind instruments, including the
man voice and stringed instruments, capable
.t continuous sound, have generally a beneficial
ffect—while the pianoforte, with such instru
seuts as have no continuity of sound, have just
he reverse. The finest piano forte playing
,amages the sick, while an air like "Home,
.weet Home," otn he most ordinary grinding
.rgan, will sensibly Booth them—and this is
, uite independent of association.

IN Tows.—Col. Stephen Miller, of the first
innesota regiment of volunteers, is now in
this city, stopping at the Jones House. The
Colonel wears a decided military appearance,
and we are glad to say is in the enjoyment of
excellent health. It will he recollected by our
readers that the first Minnesota regiment par
ticipated in the thickest of the fight at the
battle of Bull Run, and suffered severely—hav
'ng lost some two hundred men. On this oc
casion Col. Miller distinguished himself for his
coolness and intrepidity, winning the highest
enconiums from his superior officers, as well as
the esteem of the army generally. The Colonel
is accompanied by his son Wesley, who left
innesota as a private in the regiment, but has
I'Lce been promoted to a Second Lieutenantcy in

OBTAINING MEALS UNDER FALSE PRETENSE.-
hs morning a Lieutenant having charge of
wenty-five volunteer recruits from Pittsburg,
, u their way to Washington city, obtained
•reakfast for himself and men at the State Cap-
tol Hotel, representing to Mr. Omit, the pro
'rietor, that the Major of the regiment to which
hey belonged would call in a short time and
'ettle the bill. The matter seemed all right
ntil towards noon, when it was ascertained that
the Lieutenant with his men had made arrange
ments to leave the city for Washington. Col.
Omit then made enquiries for the major of the
regiment, and not being able to discover any
such personage, he at once concluded that the
Lieutenant's story was all a sham, and imme
diately got out a warrant for his arrest for ob
taining the meals under false pretences. The
Lieutenant was arrested as he was about get-
tiug on the cars at the depot, and taken before
Alderman Kline, who committed him to prison

CER.PLALNB.—The pay of a chaplain is that of
a captain, $l5O per month—or, by the recent
decision of the War Department, the pay of a
cavalry captain, which is $6O, three rations a
day, valued at thirty-three cents, $8 a month
for a servant, if he really has one, which will
cost the chaplain $2O a month ; forage valued
at $8 a month, if he has a horse, which is
about one-half the keeping that the horse will
rust. But the horse and trappings, which
will cost from $250 to $3OO, the chaplain
must furnish himself ; but if lost in the ser
vice, he will be paid for it by the Govern
ment—perhaps at the end of the war.—
All else, including clothing, etc., he must
buy himself. In some regiments the chaplain
must get the men together on Sunday as best
he can. In others the colonel does not dismiss
the Sunday A. as. inspection till after divine ser
vice. All the services must be short. It is a
great folly, as well as danger, for a chaplain to
go armed, unless he really means to take part
in the war. The person of a chaplain and sur
geon are regarded as sacred, and in case of a
battle are not shot at generally, and if taken
prisoners of war, are released at once or tender
ly treated; but if found armed to the teeth,
Would be dealt with as other men are.

TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR. —We yesterday
heard the particulars of an affair that recently
transpired in our city, which goes far to verify
the old adage that "a fool and his money are
soon parted." A genteel and intelligent look
ing young man arrived here about ten days
ago, from one of the interior towns of the State,
having in his possession about two hundred
dollars, mostly in gold. He was on his way to
the "Quaker City," but meeting some acquaint
ances here, he concluded to lay over one night,
and "stir up the elephant," in which determi
nation he was quite successful, though at a cost
which will doubtless cure him of any further
curiosity on the subject. In order to secure a
proper frame of mind for his anticipated view Of
the animal, he in company with his compan
ions, devoted themselves for a while to certain
labors at the bar, and by the time they were
ready to sally forth, they were exceedingly
"gay and happy." While in this cheerful mood,
they encountered a gentleman of apleasant turn
of mind, who courteously accompanied the party
to an establishment most likely to be attractive
to young gentlemen from the rural districts.—
Here they found cards, and choice liquors, and
gay, sprightly women, and for a time things
went on swimmingly. At last, frequent liba
tion from the "flowing bowl" began to tell won
derfully on the young gentlemen, and he who
is the immediate subject of our remarks, sank
finally to the floor in a glorious state of oblivion.
His comrades observing his condition, con
cluded that he was safely "tied up" for the
night, and staggered from the establishment to
stir up the animals elsewhere. When the
"young gentleman from the rural districts"
awoke next morning he found himself reclin
ing on the grass in the Capitol park, his eyes
swollen, his hair tangled and matted, his
lips parched, and his hands twitching with
excessive nervousness, all the effect of his
recent debauch. He quickly arose to his
feet, brushed his soiled garments, adjust
ed his hair, then, as if impelled by a secret
doubt, he suddenly felt for his wallet, and upo n
opening it, discovered to his horror that of the
fine looking pile of bank-bills it contained the
evening previous, but a solitary " ten-spot "
now greeted his vision ! He tried to recollect
all the occurrences of the past night—the loca
tion of the house he visited—the name of the
owner—his companionsall, however, were
forgotten, and his hopes of recovering any por
tion of his money were excruciatingly slim
indeed.
He proceeded to his hotel with a sorrowful
countenanee, and finding that the balance of
his money would be inadequate to pay his bill
and passage home, he made a clean breast of the
whole affair to the landlord, who kindly con
sented to "book the account," and at noon the
"young gentleman frorn the rural districts "
left the city by the Northern Central Railroad,
a wiser, but a sadder man.
The above furnishes but one of a number of
instances within our knowledge of strangers
being fleeced by the sharks of our city who are
ever on the alert for unsuspecting victims.
Many with their pockets filled with money
freely enter places which city men would avoid,
even if they had nothing in their possession to
excite the avarice of the inmates. They trust
to their native shrewdness, and are invariably
skinned, paying dear for their experience, and
meeting no sympathy in their misfortune.
I=l
COTION Ix ERNNSYLVANIA. —We yesterday pub
lished an article from the Lancaster Express in
which the writer spoke of the possibility of suc
cessfully raising cotton in Pennsylvania. It
has heretofore been the general opinion that the
climate of this and the adjoining middle States
is altogether unfavorable to the growth of this
important product ; yet the Philadelphia Press
publishes a letter from a well known gentle
man, residing in Brazil, which goes to show
that in the table lands there, where the climate
is nearly identical with our own, a species of
superior cotton is produced on plants which
flourish year after year amid frosts that are fatal
to vegetation of a less hardy character. The
writer was formerly a resident of Lancaster
county, in this State, and seeing a paragraph in
the Press inviting farmers to try the experi
ment of growing cotton here, he sent
Nix. Forney some seeds of a peculiar
kind of cotton growing in Brazil, for
distribution among his friends. Of
this cotton he says "It is cultivated in thk
province of Minas Geraes, on high table land, ,
where they have severe frosts and cannot grow rice
or sugar cane, but have all fruits of the _Middle
Slates, U. S. The European grass, Tricticum
repens, is entirely killed every year, not the
root. There are two kinds of this cotton,
white and nankeen, of which I send you the
two varieties." Referring to a cotton tree
grown for seeds of the latter quality, which
had been planted some six years before, he
says says : "In Pennsylvania this would be
come an annual. It produces cotton the first
year ; and I have reason to believe that it will
bear the climate of Pennsylvania. There have
been here this year some heavy frosts, and the
grass referred to is entirely killed; but on this cot
ton tree the leaves were still green, and there still
remained some flowers." Mr. Forney has dis
tributed the seeds as requested, and the matter
will now at least get a fair trial. We perceive
that experiments with the common seed are be
ing made this year at Philadelphia, some of
which promise well. Mr. H. B. Jenks has an
acre of cotton, some of the plants of which are
from three to four feet high, and having mostly
blossomed, the balls vary in size from a large
pea to a good seized cranberry. In a month's
time, provided the frost does not kill them,
they will reach the size of walnuts and burst,
when the cotton will be ready to pick. Messrs.
Garsed & Bro., Frankford, have three quarters
of an acre of plants set out. They are now
about two feet high, with occasionally stalks
of three or four feet, their balls being generally
smaller than those of the plants grown by Mr.
Jenks. A good deal of care is being bestowed
on these experiments, and the result, whatever
it may be, will be looked for with deep interest.
A RUMOR was circulating in our streets to-day
to the effect that a soldier at Camp Curtin was
shot night before last by a farmer who detected
him stealing corn. We were not able to asser
tain if the report was true.
ptunfivthania Daily (11 . elegraph, illeOneottap Ifternoon Orptember 11, 1861
ers, named Neff, were arrested at Camp Curtin
this morning charged with being participants
in the recent murder of the brother's Stneltzer
at Safe Harbor, Lancaster county, the particu
lars of which were published in the TELEGRAPH
last week. They were taken to Lancaster to
await their trial.
1 - 31PORTA.NT TO COAL CONSIMIERS.—As the time
is approaching for laying in the winter supply
of coal, the following rule for verifying the
weight of Pennsylvania coal will prove of in
terest to consumers : Coal put into bins and
leveled, can be measured from one to a thous
and tons with as much accuracy as it can be
weighed on scales. For instance, Lehigh white
ash coal, per ton of 2,000 lbs. of the egg or
stove size, will uniformly measure 34* feet cu
bical, while white'ash Schuylkill coal will mea
sure 35, and the pink gray and red ash will
reach 36 cubical feet per ton of 2,000 lbs , or 40
feet for 2,240 lbs., the difference of cubical con
tents between the net and gross ton being ex
actly four feet. If the length, breadth, and
hight of the bin be multiplied together, and
the product is divided by the aforenamed con
tents of a tun, the quotient must show the num
ber of tuns therein.
How ARMIES MARCH.—The column is put in
motion and the march commences with the
same regularity as would be observed by a regi
ment moving in or out of a garrison town, the
bands playing, the light infantry with arms
sloped, and those of the riflemen slung over the
shoulder, the officers with swords drawn, exact
wheeling distance preserved, and perfect silence
observed. After having proceeded a short dis
tance in this manner, the word of command,
" route step," is given by the general at the
head of the leading battalion, and passed quick
ly on to the rear. The captains, instead of con
tinuing at the head of their companies, draw
back to the rear of them, that they may see
any men of their respective companies who may
attempt to quit the ranks without leave. The
soldiers then march and carry their arms in any
manner convenient to them, conversation and
smoking being ordinarily allowed.
THE LADIES' Am Socrxrv.—The Managers of
this Society are out in an appeal to the ladies of
the State for contributions of hospital stores for
the use of the troops at Washington. Speaking
of the mission of the Society, they say : "Our
undertaking is one of magnitude, but one from
which patriotism and humanity forbid us to
shrink. If the ladies in our country could wit
ness the scenes presented in the hospitals after
a battle, there is no sacrifice they would not
willingly make for the relief of the sufferers.
If they could hear the wounded soldier's ex
pression of gratitude for a cup of cocoa, a glass
of water, or the smoothing of his hard pillow
by woman's hands ; if they could see his de
spondency giving place to confidence, and to
courage, for a renewal of the conflict, on the
slightest manifestation of woman's sympathy,
donations would flow in so that our depository
could not contain them. The folio% ing are
some of the articles wanted : Coarse woolen
shirts and drawers, and knit stockings. Let
every woman furnish a pair of stockings. Also,
feather pillows, air beds, bed clothing, jellies,
dried fruits, apple butter, crackers, wines, bran
dy, ale, white sugar, tea, chocalate, cocoa, fari
naceous preparations, spices, pickles, dried beef,
hams, citric acid, oil of lemon, &c., &c. Pickles
are most acceptable to the men in the camps,
as well as to those in the hospital ; in some cir
cumstances they are esteemed by the surgeons
as valuable adjuncts. Donations in money may
be sent to Mrs. Stephen Coldwell, treasurer of
the Ladies' Aid, N. E. corner of Eleventh and
Arch streets. Other contributions may be for
warded, freight prepaid, to " Ladies' Aid, care
of John P. Rhoads, Esq., No. 701 Walnut st.,
Philadelphia," marked "hospital stores."
