THE PENNA. CANAL. —The repairs on the West
ern Division of the Pennsylvania Canal having
been completed in the beginning of last week,
the water was let in on Tuesday. Boats were
running on Friday, but were unable to get
through, as a sufficient of water had not yet
reached the lower levels. Fears are entertained
that the recent high water has again damaged
this part of the canal to such an extent as to
prevent its further navigation during the pre
sent s aeon.
PLIGASING Irtenmyr.—A very pleasing incident
transpired in the Peunsylvania 29th regiment
the other day. At the request of Col. Murphy
and the Protestant chaplain of the regiment,
the Rev. Father Dougherty, of Montgomery
county, celebrated mass in the camp. The
whole regiment, with uncovered heads, kneeled
and received the benediction. Col. Murphy is a
Protestant, but was happy on the occasion to
show that he was no bigot, and that in matters
pertaining to the constitution and the laws, there
should be no division of sentiment, even in re
ligious matters.
THE "CAMP Kerne."—We saw this morn
ing a copy of the "Camp Kettle," a small news
paper published by the Field and Staff officers of
Col. Leasure's regiment—the "Round-heads"—
as often as the exigencies of the service will
permit, and is designed to be the vehicle through
which much valuable information will be con
veyed to the soldiers on all subjects relative to
camp life from mounting guard to cleaning a
musket. Of course, the "Kettle" is very small
—not larger than two leaves of the spelling
book ; but the number we examined contained
at least a good tin cup full of important mili
tary information.
PRISONERS OF WAR EN ROUTE —A party of
rebel soldiers, consisting of a captain and thir
teen privates in charge of a squad of Ohio vol
unteers under Capt. Bond, passed through here
this morning from the west en route to Fort
M'Henry at Baltimore. Eight of the prisoners
had received wounds more or less serious ; some
walked on crutches ; some limped with their
arms in slings, while one fellow more unfortu
nate than the rest, possessed but one leg, the
other having been taken off by a cannon ball.
The party were taken prisoners by the United
States army under Gen. McClellan at the battle
of Laurel Hill, in Western Virginia, on the 11 th
of last July.
FIREMEN'S AITAIRS.—Ttie manufacturers of
the Friendship steam fire engine neglected to
send with it the proper "reducing screws,"
without which the "steamer" is unable to ob
tain wattr from the fire plugs. Hence its trial
at the corner of Canal and State streets last
week, where the proximity of the canal afforded
a fine opportunity to test its suction powers.
The company, however, expect to receive the
"reducing screws" some time this week, in
which case there will be a public trial of the
"steamer" in Market Square next Saturday af
ternoon.
We hear it stated that the Paxton Hose Com
pany intend to make application to the City
Council for the Friendship Company's hand
engine. This should be granted by all means.
The "Paxton boys" are already an efficient
branch of our fire department, and would be
far more so if the Council would supply them
with the necessary apparatus. They are the
only fire company in the city south of Mulberry
street, and have consequently a large district to
watch over, and very limited means with
which to perform service in case of emergency.
As a precautionary measure, therefore, the
Council should not hesitate a moment to make
the "Paxton boys" the custodians of this en
gine, and thus enable them to extend the sphere
of their usefulness.

HIGH WATER LN THE WEST.---Last Saturday's
Pittsburg Chronicle says that the rivers and creeks
in that neighborhood are swollen to a great ex
tent. The Allegheny was pouring out an an
gry flood, with twenty-five feet in the channel
and still rising. It rose some twelve feet last
Friday night, and though ample time had been
given those having rafts, &c., along its banks
to make them secure, a large amount of prop
erty has been swept away, and much of it irre
coverably lost. At noon last Saturday it was
rising at the rate of thirteen inches an hour,
and the indications were then that it would
continue rising for some time. The lower part
of Allegheny and Manchester was then under
water, and those residing in the neighborhood
were busy at work in removing their effects,
Several of the streets were under water, and
communication with a number of houses, unless
by water, was cut off. The flood in the Mo
nongahela is equally great and even more des
tructive than that in the Allegheny. It is es
timated that the value of the coal boats, barges,
&c., lost on this stream exceeds $75,000, and
the end is not yet. The pier mark at noon last
Saturday indicated twenty-six and a half feet
in the channel, and still rising rapidly. The
smaller streams throughout the country are
swoollen to an unheard of extent, and, from
all quarters, the editor of the Chronicle hears of
bridges having been swept away, fences carried
off, crops destroyed, &c.
GREAT FLOOD IN THE WEST BRANCH—IMMENSE
DESTRUCTION Or PROPERTY—SI,OOO,OOO WORTH
Or LOGS ADRIET !—Last Saturday, the people
residing along the West Branch of the Susque
hanna river were visited by the horrors and de
vastations of one of the greatest floods that has
occurred since the memorable freshet of 1846.
A gentleman direct from Williamsport informs
us that the river commenced rising at that
place on Friday night, and continued to increase
with frightful velocity during Saturday, until
serious apprehensions of a general inundation
began to be entertained. At Lock Haven the
water rose with astonishing a rapidity, and de
luged parts of the town with such celerity that
the inmates of some dwellings were obliged to
fly for personal safety, without stopping to save
their moveables. The streets of the town yes
terday morning were represented as being three
feet under water. Other villages along the
liver were more or less inundated In some of
the houses the water was up to the second story,
and most of them near the ceiling in the first.
A great many light buildings were carried
away, together with hay stacks and fences.
The most serious effect of the flood, however,
is the destruction of the booms at Williams
' port and Lock Haven, and the escape of 1, gs
valued in the aggregate at about one million of
dollars ! We understand that the booms first
began to yield to the immense pressure of the
water about four o'clock Saturday afternoon,
and in six hours afterwards there was not a
vestige of them remaining, their site being oc
cupied by nothing but a moving mass of logs,
the product of many a poor man's months of
weary toil, and upon which depended perhaps
the support of himself and family through the
rigors of the long and dreary winter whose ap
proach even now is heralded to us in every
breath of air that stirs the atmosphere.
The floating logs reached this city about ten
minutes before 12 o'clock yesterday morning,
and presented a scene of the most thrilling de
scription. The wind came with considerable
force from the west, which had the effect to
(Lift most of them to the channel east of Fors
ter's island, and for the first two or three hours,
so profuse was their number, that they appeared
to cover almost the entire surface of the water
between the islands and this shore. This effect
was the same also as far as the eye could pene
trate up and down the river—nothing but logs
packed close together, as if they composed one
immense moving raft. Towards two o'clock
they were more scattered, and small boats began
to make their appearance in the stream. The
occupants of these, however, did not seem to
pay any attention to the logs, their efforts be
ing chiefly directed towards the capture of
boards, of which quite a large quantity were
secured. The reason of this was that the Wil
liamsport Boom Company refused to pay sal
vage on the logs captured in this vicinity when
their boom broke two years ago, and owners of
boats therefore, with ttis experience, were loath
to enter into a speculation which promised so
little profit. Had the company treated the
salvors right on that occasion, several thousand
logs would have been captured in this vicinity
yesterday
The logs were still floating past the city up
to nine o'clock last night, though much scat
tered, and in less numbers. Of course it is im
possible for us to estimate the number of logs
in this immense flotilla—we can only measure
them by the mile ; and accordingly estimate, the
swiftness of the current assumed at seven miles
hour, from the time they first appeared
here up to nine o'clock last night, that the
line of logs extended a distance of fifty-six miles
below this city, with an average breadth of
one hundred yards.
The water in the river at this point rose
rapidly during Saturday night, and yesterday
morning the channel was "hank full," and the
water still rising. Towards the middle of the
day, however, it began to subside, and this
morning it was standing at a stage only several
feet above the ordinary low water mark.
I=
EXPLOSIVE COAL Oia.—The late explosions in
factories where coal oil was being distilled, have
drawn public attention to the fact, and many
persons have begun to doubt the propriety of
using the oil in private houses. There are
many persons not only in the country villages,
but in the city, who are not favored with the
introduction of gas into their premises, and
who are compelled to resort to other illuminat
ing agents. Coal oil, from its brilliant light,
has become a great favorite, and as it has been
represented as non-explosive, it has been used
where burning fluid would not be tolerated.
That coal oil is non-explosive is true, when
rightly made, notwithstanding the late acci
dents from its use. In order to furnish a cheap
article some manufacturers neglect to complete
the distillation which seperates the benzole,
the explosive substance. When the oil is puri
fied entirely of the benzole, it is impossible to
cause an explosion, unless the oil be first
brought to a boiling point. Persons who use
coal oil should be careful to obtain the pure ar
ticle ; it may cost a trifle more, but it will be
perfectly safe to use.
Kissr BY A REGIME:Cr.—The Webster (Mass )
Times relates the following incident of the re
turn of the Sixth regiment : "The engine halted
for water at the North Village, and as the girls
in Slater's mills had congregated upon the
lawn between the mill and railroad track, the
soldiers flocked from the cars and occupied the
few minutes of the halt in most prolonged and
indiscriminate kissing, to which the blushing
girls submitted with a commendable and becom
ing grace.
WE BACH BEEN requested to state that those
of our citizens who furnish blankets to the
Quartermaster-General, to meet the present
immediate wants of the troops at Camp Curtin,
and desire their return, should attach their
name, or some mark by which they may be
identified and returned to their owners, after
their place is supplied by the Government
blankets.
THE MILLERITE ORGANIZATIONS, which have
long since become nearly extinct, are now re
organizing in various portions of the county
preparatory to the end of all things, which is to
occur this time on Saturday, the 12th day of
October.

FIRST CITY ZOUATES. —The members of the
First City Zouaves are requested to meet at
their armory at eight o'clock this evening, on
important business.
A MEDICAL BOARD for the examination of can
didates for Assistant Surgeons in the volunteer
force of Pennsylvania, will assemble in the
chamber of the House of Representatives next
Wednesday, October 2d.
TIIE POLICE OFFICERS OF ALLENTOWN, by order
of Town Council, have adopted a uniform after
the New York style—blue frock coat with brass
buttons, pants and cap of the same color, with
leather belts for club and billy. A similar ar
rangement was suggested in this city some
months ago ; but we believe the Chief was the
only one of our police who adopted the regi
mentals, and even he only appears in this tog
gery semi-occasionally.
MISCHIETOUS RASOALS.—Some mischievous ras
eals were about again on Saturday night, and
amused themselves by removing several of the
signs of our citizens, and placing them at other
premises. For the benefit of these night prowl
ers, we publish the following section of the new
penal code ; and should any of them be caught
in their mischievous acts His Honor, Judge
Pearson, will no doubt give the fullest extent
of the law :
Sac. 148.—1 f any person shall wilfully and
maliciously break, injure or destroy any win
dow or door belonging to any dwelling house,
or out house, or parcel thereof ; or shall unlaw
fully and maliciously break or take off from the
door any knocker or bell-pull, or plate inscrib
ed with the name of the occupant or number of
the house; or shall wilfully and maliciously
destroy, take down, injure or deface any sign,
pat up by any inhabitant to denote the place of
his abode, occupation, business or employment,
such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay
a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
suffer an imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or both, or either at the discretion of
the court."
EDITORIAL VISIT.-Our sanctum was visited
this morning by Samuel H. Clark, Esq., for
a number of years connected with the press
of this city, and formerly a representative
from this county in the State Legislature. Mr.
Clark, is at present engaged publishing a Re
publican newspaper at Medina, New York ; but
he still entertains a strong affection for the
place of his early struggles and triumphs—
" The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled
wildwoo(l,
And all the loved scenes to memory so dear."
He is in the enjoyment of good health, and
time has treated him with more than usual
kindness, as he seems to have lost none of that
vigor and activity which distinguished him fif
teen or twenty years ago.
A NEW VOLUNTEER COMPANY. —A meeting will
be held at the Exchange, Walnut street, at 7i
o'clock to-morrow evening, for the purpose of
taking the necessary steps towards raising a
volunteer company, to be composed exclusively
of young men of this city. Our city has already
contributed a large number of volunteers to the
army, but they are scattered among a number
of different companies, so that, properly speak
ing, we have not really a Harrisburg company
in the field. The design of the meeting to
morrow night is to supply this omission, and
by calling upon our patriotic young men, the
promoters of the measure hope to secure not
only a company filled and officered exclusively
by Harrisburgers, but one that will also, by its
proficiency in drill and good appearance gen!
erally, reflect credit upon the city.
BLANKETS.
Editor of the Telegraph:
Owing to the announcement from our differ
ent pulpits yesterday, that the poor soldiers in
Camp Curtin are in a suffering condition for
want of blankets, and that they cannot be
bought, I am informed by good authority, if an
order is furnished to purchase, several thousand
pairs can be furnished and delivered within a
week, and as the State has appropriated suffi
cient money to buy, " the bold soldier " should
not be allowed to suffer a day.
I merely present these facts, that those con
nected with the departments supplying the
soldier may know. Particulars can be given at
this office. A CrrizEN.

tor Breckinridge, and showed
his attachment for those who
are at the head of this rebellion
by refusing to make an appro
priation to arm the great state

This man is again before you,
and again solicits your vote that
he may again disgrace the halls

of our noble old commonwealth
in assisting to redeem the land
from rebellion by enforcing the

In the name and by the authority of the Common
®wealth of Pennsylvania, ANDREW G. Ctornx,
Governor of said Commonwealth.
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, By the twelfth section of the Act
of Assembly, passed the Fifteenth day of May
1861, it is provided that it shill not be lawful
for any Volunteer Soldier to leave this Com
monwealth as- such, unless he shall have been
first accepted by the Governor of this State,
upon a call under a requisition of the President
of the United States made upon the Governor
direct, for troops for the service of the United
States.
Awn WHEREAS, Notwithstanding such prohibi
tion. sundry persons, (many of them engaged in
raising regiments to be furnished from other
States,) are persisting in endeavoring to enlist
volunteers in violation of law.
AND WHEREAS, It is necessary for the public
service and for the honor of Pennsylvania, that
her military force should be regularly organized
and furnished for the suppression of the existing
rebellion, in conformity with the acts of Cm
izress of twenty-second and twenty-fifth July,
1861, and with the laws of the State.
and that her citizens should not be seduced
into organizations independent of the State
authority whereby the raising of her quota
is embarrassed, the regiments are not enrolled
in her Archives, the families of the men are de
prived of the relief provided by the laws of the
State for the familie3 of her own volunteers, and
the State herself by the absorption of her men
in such unlawful organizations may be found
unable to supply volunteers to fill the future
requisitions of the Government of the United
States.
AND WIIKRAS, the following order has been
issued by the War Department of the United
States, via :
WAR Dspentrlmerr,
September 25, 1861.
His Excellency A. G. CURTIN, Governor of Penn
sylvania, Harrisburg.
SIR :-I have the honor to transmit the fol
lowing order from the War Department :
1. All men now enrolled or mustered into the
service of the United States for brigades, regi
ments, batteries or companies in the State of
Pennsylvania, under the direct authority of the
Secretary of War, are placed under the com
mand of the Governor of Pennsylvania, who
shall organize or re-organize them as he may
deem most advantageous to the interests of the
General Government.
2. The United States will continue to furnish
subsistence, camp equippage, clothing, &c., as
heretofore, for the organizations referred to in
the first paragraph, and all U S. commissaries
and quartermasters will furnish, on requisitions
made, the necessary subsistence, clothing, &e.
3. All authorizations heretofore given to said
brigades, regiments or companies in the State of
Pennsylvania, are hereby revoked from and af
ter the expiration of the times limited in the
original authority, or in any renewals hereto
fore granted ; and in cases where no limit of
time has been specified, then from and after
the expiration of ten days from the date of
this order ; and in future all volunteers for the
service of the United States shall be raised, in
Pennsylvania, only under requisitions made on
the Governor. All authorities issued by the
War Department for Independent Regiments,
subject to the approval of the Governor, which
have not been so approved are hereby revoked.
Respectfully,
SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
And, whereas, the President of the United
States has, in accordance with the acts of Con
gress of the twenty-second and twenty-fifth of
July last, made requisitions on the Governor of
Pennsylvania for sundry regiments of volun
teers, which requisitions are in the course of
being filled.
Now, therefore, I Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for
the purpose of preventing further impositions
on the good and loyal citizens of Pennsylvania
in tuis regard, do make this my proclamation,
hereby prohibiting all persons from raising vol
unteers in Pennsylvania otherwise than by au
thority of the Governor, and especially forbid
ding the raising of volunteers for regiments to
be furnished from other States. And also for
bidding all citizens of Pennsylvania from en
listing in or attaching themselves to any such
-irregular and unlawful organizations and
warning all persons that in disobeying this
proclamation they will be disregarding the or
ders of the Government of the United States,
as well as defying the laws of the State and
violating their duties as sons and citizens
of the Commonwealth. And I do hereby
require all Magistrates, District Attorneys,
and officers of the Commonwealth to arrest and
prosecute all persons who shall disobey this
proclamation, and particularly all persons and
their alders and abettors, who under any preten
ded authority, shall enlist volunteers for any
Brigade, Regiment, Battery or Company of
Volunteers other than such as may be authoriz
ed by the Governor of this Commonwealth, or
advertise or open or keep recruiting stations for
such enlistments, so that such offenders may be
brought to justice and punished according to
law.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this twenty-eighth day
of September, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and
of the Commonwealth the eighty-sixth.
By the Governor.
ELI SLIFER,
Secretary of the Commonwealth.

ATTORNEY GgNERA-01 OFFIOR,
HARRISBURG, Sept. 27, 1861.
My opinion is requested by the Governor on
the following questions, viz :
I. What volunteers ill be entitled to vote
at the approaching general election in their
camps ?
11. Whether the volunteers so entitled to
vote, can vote for County officers ?
I. lam clearly of the opinion that no vol
unteers will be entitled to vote in their camp,
except such as are in actual military service in
conformity with law, viz : Such as are in ser
vice under the authority of the Governor on
the requisition of the President of the United
States. All the field officers of such regiments
will be commissioned by the Governor, and the
holding of such commissions by the field offi
cers will be a fair test of the right of the regi
ment to vote.
11. The Act of Assembly provides that the
volunteers may exercise the right of suffrage;
of course they have as much right to vote for
County officers as for any other.
W. M. ktFciRDIT/1,
Attorney General.
"Since writing the above an additional ques
tion has been propounded to me, viz : Where
men from several counties are in the same com
pany, what course should be pursued? lam
of opinion that in such cases there should be
separate ballot-boxes, tally lists &c., for each
county, and the votes should be returned, ko
each county, of the voters entitled to vote in
such county."
