The occasion is to be celebrated by a grand procession of .the firemen of the city, of which the following is -TEM awn The different fire companies of our city will form on Market street at half-past one o'clock P.

In the evening a grand ball will be given at Bmnt's City Hall. It is expected that the military and citizens generally will be present at this ball, and from an examination of the list of invitations we. are confident that in point of youth and beauty, it will far excell any simi lar assemblage convened in this city for many years. The Friendship "boys" deserve the confidence and encouragement of the people of Harrisburg for their enterprise in this business. As a fire company they will rank with any in the com monwealth, and as an organization of young men they cannot be excelled for devotion to the interests of their fellow citizens, and attach ment to the cause of the Union They deserve a bumper. FER.E.—The alarm of fire about 7 o'clock last evening NVEIB caused by the burning of a barrel of naptha, in the cellar of Kelker's Hardware store, Marked Square. It appears that one of the clerks of the establishment went to draw a quantity of the fluid for a customer, when a few sprinkles from the spigot communicated with the light he carried and in an instant the entire barrel was enveloped in flames. The alarm was quickly raised, and the fire subdued .before any material damage was done. Htairmaramws Pour OBRICIL—The Post Office at Hummelstown will be open on.

From Pooch, Sept. 7, Bel Mr. John Bull to the ' United States, On being Invited to Contribute to the American Loan Did you ever imagine me lending you money Well, of all Yankee notions that's far the most funny ; Lend you money I—for what when the loan you have gotten ? Why to throw it away In withholding my cotton ! Fortune favors the brave, and your courage I own, Notwithstanding Bull's Rim : but rare fortune alone Can afford you success in this maddest of wars. You've no visible chance to regain your lost stars. s. You '1 spend all you borrow in powder and ball, And then have to show for it—nothing at all. What dividends, pray, are you like to declare On the debt you'll have sunk and blown into the air I Why, you know that you'd not stand the slightest taxation That you could get rid of by Repudiation, Though of value received in the fullest fruition, Not paying for that which has gone to perdition. The cost of your war you expect to defray By an Income Tax, do you, and that who will pay? So keen and so smart in all matters of pelf, To think of a Yankee assessing himself I know I am rather a sordid old screw, Lending money I care not what for or whom to, So the party is solvent, but that is, with Joss, A point indispensable—sine qua 11071. But, hang it, though cash I may lend to the deuce, If secure of investment, regardles of use, When the object is evil, and hopeless the gain, I should be, if I so misemployed it, insane. Last of all, to abuse me, malign, and decry, And threaten to, whip and to rob by-and-by, Is not quite the right way, not the language and tone, To got out of me an American Loan. Answer. LWritten for the Telegraph.] Why John ! you fat, greasy, conceited old cuss Do you think therii's no money but What's in • your puss? And wherever a dollar is wanted for war We must go to Threadneedle street , no odds how far. You seem interested in this little fight, But with hands in your pockets forget which is right. Other folks heretofore for their war loans have tax' d you, Bat " this load of poles" I'm sure nobody ax'd you. You've whin'd and youv'e whimper'd from Exeter Hall, About morals and ethics and slav'ry and all, Till people are sick of your nonsense and twaddle, And some folks have thought you quite turned in the noddle. But the minit a screw turns that presses on cotton, We And all your moral professions are rotten, And you load with self-seeking advice folks of age, To take care of themselves, be you never so sage Who asked for your counsel, your pounds or your pence? My quar'l is my own, and whatever pretence You set up fora Mentor, rdbave you to lam For your wisdom or lucre I don't care a darn. Lay low and keep dark, uncle John, and I'll show ye The gaul darnedest scrimmage yet mentioned in story, And as for your money,• just keep what you've got, And my cotton shall go where I choose it, or rot, You know I was always a singular cretur, One half I'm a hoes tother half aligator. This last part is restive just now it is true, But I'll cure him of that, John, and no thanks to you. The spunk and endtmance--the wisdom and Pelf, I have and can git just as well as yourself. I'm young and I'm hearty—can do my own rightin, Be my wrongs what they may they need none of your rightin. So now keep your pounds and your prate till I ask Your advice or your gold in my difficult task, And my own good strong arm if it fail me at length, From a Source mighty dill' rent from you I'll seek strength. Baum= JONATHAN. A REVEREND Morearzu.—The Right Reverend LEONIDAS POLIC, late Bishop of Tennessee), but now Brigadier General in the army of the "Con federate States," bids fair to achieve an immor tality of infamous renown. Having invaded Kentucky without even asking leave of the authorities at Richmond; he coolly proceeds to apply the same " dicipline" to the people of that state that has beenfound so effective in Tennessee. Peaceable citizens are arrested and thrust into prison for no other offence than that of refusing to be traitors. 'A. few days since he sent a company of his soldiers to Mayfield, who seized Mr. Ku metope, one of the most reputable men of the place, took him to Columbus and treated him as if he were a common felon. The tame band of ruffians made an attempt to arrest Judge Wm- arena, but missed their victim. 'lbis man Poor owes the gallows a heavy debt. Professedly a Minister of the " Prince of Peace," he surpasses the most violent of the Rebel crew in bloodthirstiness. The story of his atrocities fills the land with rage and horror. He has come to be regarded, even in the insurgent States, as a monster unfit to live. The authori ties of Memphis were compelled, , a short time since, to interfere between the people and his cruel eXaCtiONS.

Particulars of the Shooting of Major Lewis A BODY OF REBEL CAVALRY SCATTERED. DARNESTOWN, Sept. 24 A tragical occurrence was witnessed near this village yesterday in the Pennsylvania Forty sixth, Col. Knipe, on their way to join Gen'L Bank's column. In the regiment is a company compceed principally of Irishmen, who have given the commander much trouble. When near Muddy Run, two of the men got engaged in a fight, and one of them, named Linehan, of company ; a very bad character, was, by order of Major Arnold C. Lewis, tied to the rear of a baggage wagon. After proceeding about a mile it was reported to Major Lewis that Lanahan was at large with a loaded gun in his hand. The Major, accompanied. by Assistant Surgeon W. Charles Rogers, rode towards Lana ban and ordered him to give up the gun. Lanahan refused; and while the Major was in the act of getting off his horse to enforce his order, Lanahan retreated a few steps, took de liberate aim,- and shot the Major in the back wish a ball and three buckshot. The latter fell and expired in three minutes, without uttering a word. Lanahan was secured, and the body of the unfortunate officer was placed in a wagon and guarded to the camp. Lanahan is'now in the hands of the "Provost Marshal, and will be tried by a drum-head court probably to-day. The murderer is a resi dent of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Major Lewis was thirty-two years of age, was married about a year ago, and leaves a widow but no children. He served in the Mexican war, and on the breaking out of the present re • hellion, was editing the Catasaqua (Lehigh county) Herald, which occupation he resigned to enter the army. He was dearly beloved by the whole regiment, and his death hangs like a pall upon the spirits of his associates. Yesterday morning, Col. Le Due, of the New York Thirty-fourth, keeping guard on the Po tomac, discovered a body of rebel cavalry on the opposite side partially concealed by trees and ravines. From various movements "it was supposed that they were in considerable force, and that they meditated constructing some of , ' fensive works there. About noon he com menced throwing shells from a point too far distant to produce much effect. Changing the position, he threw several shells into their midst, scattering them in every direction. This occurred at the mouth of the Seneca river. The Massachusetts Twelfth, Colonel Webster, has recently taken a position which relieves the New York Thirty-fourth of a, portion of the arduous duty of guarding nine miles of the river line. During the shelling to-day one of rebels, by the aid of glasses, was discovered to have on a uniform of the Thirty-fourth, belong ing it is supposed, to one of the killed or cap tured scouts, who ventured across the river last week. Winter blankets and new tents are being is sued to several of the regiments in view of the approaching cold weather. Saturday night was very cold, and the farmers predict early frosts in this region. IMPORTANT ARRESTS TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 24 Messrs. Kreamer and Nightingale, of Hunter dom were arrested and brought to this city to day charged with treasonable conspiracy. It is alleged that they have been engaged in recruit big men for a treasonable organization called the "Sons of Liberty," having for its motto " Jefferson Davis before Abe Lincoln. " Subsequently the tack was changed, and recently it is alleged they have been enlisting men for the .'Union, but secretly with the intention of serving the purposes of Jeff Davis. They were imprisoned in the Mer cer county jail. The grand jury are examining the evidence against them, and will report dur ing the present term. The friends of Col. James W. Wall were 'greatly rejoiced today upon receipt of a dis patch from him that he had been released from imprisonment at Fort Lafayette. THE WAR IN KENTUCKY. Lammus, Sept. 24. It is reported from below that a small detach ment of Gen. Rosencnm's force has advanced fifteen miles southward of Elizabethtown, and that Gen. Buckner is advancing northward from Bowling Green with a force variously estimated at from 4,000 to 10,000. The Evening Bulletin says that Lock No. 3, on the Green river was blown up on Tuesday, by order of General Buckner, and publishes a let ter purporting to be rrom him, directing the de3 struction of Lock No. 1, on the same river. The Union men, on hearing of this, attempted but unsuccessfully, to guard the locks, but they were destroyed. Captain Gibson and the four missing men have returned to the camp at Salt River. The City Council has passed a resolution approving Gen. Anderson's appointment of a Provost Marshal, and another requesting the citizens to close their business hours at four o'clock every afternoon, to allow time for pea phi to gat. Nelsort, who founded Camp Dick Robin son; hargone to Maryville to start a camp for voltniteeri.. The same paper says that, a Lieutenant of Buckner's army was arrested at Oldham, on Sunday, as espy. 3
