Cot, Muttony's REGIMENT.—The Huntingdon
Journal, of yesterday, says that Col. Murray's
regiment was to have left Camp Crossman
to
day. Their destination is Beaufort, though
they will first have to go to Washington .to pro
cure their arms. The Journal adds that "taken
altogether it is one of the very finest regiments
that haO gone from this State, and will reflect
credit upon the name and fame of the Old Key
stone in any and every position in which they
may be placed."
PENNSYLVANIANS AT FORTRESS MONROE .-
"Things is workin"' at Fortress Monroe. Large
numbers of troops are now being concentrated
there, among which we notice the following
Pennsylvania Regiments: Forty-fifth, Colonel
Welsh, Columbia; Seventy-sixth, Col. Powers,
Johnstown ; Ninety-fifth, Colonel Guss, and the
Fifty. fifth, Colonel White, Cambria. Harlan's
cavalry are also at Fortress Monroe. The
ground which has been selected for the present
encampment is about one mile distant from
Fortress Munroe, on the road leading from Back
river, and commanding a fine view of the en
trance to Hampton Roads.
HYMENIAL . —Lewis H.. Funk, Esq., junior
editor of the Miltonian, published at Milton, Pa.,
has testified his attachment and loyalty to anima
principles, by entering the bonds of wedlock
with Miss Lydia J. Groff, of this city. The
event was duly solemized at the residence of
the bride's father, in Locust street, on the 26th
inst., by the Rev. Franklin Moore, of the Metho
dist Episcopal church. Of course the grooms
man, being himself an editor, did not forget us
amidst the joyous festivities incident to the oc
casion, for which he has our thanks as well. as
our best wishes that a beneficent Providence
may smile propitiously upon his union, and
strew the pathway of his connubial existence
with never fading flowers.

SANFORD'S OPERA TROUPE. —This famous troupe
seem to gain in popularity every day, midis fast
becoming one of the acknowledged "institu
tions" of our city. This is owing not only to
the indefatigable energy and industry of the
popular manager himself, but to the admit
ted ability and real merit of the performers,
who are second to none in the country. The
bill for to-night's performance embraces songs,
dances, and any quantity of burlesques and ne
gro eccentricities, which cannot fail to be highly
entertaining.
The troupe will give two performances to
morrow—one in the afternoon, commencing at
2 o'clock, and the other at 7 o'clock p m.;
upon which occasions " Uncle Tom's Cabin "
will be produced, together with a variety of
novelties of the most amusing character.
RAILROAD MATTERS.—We learn that James
C. Clarke, Esq., for the past two years the su
perintendent of the Northern Central Railroad,
has tendered his resignation to the company,
to take effect on the first proximo. Mr. Clarke
urges private interests, heretofore neglected, as
explanatory of the step. During the short
term of his superintendence of the rolling in
terests of the Northern Central, it has enjoyed
a popularity not second to any road in the
country. Mr. Du Barre, of the Fort Wayne
and Chicago Rallrold and Gen. A. L. Roumfort
of this city, formerly superintendent on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, are spoken of as the suc
cessors of Mr. Clarke. The Company is
meanwhile contemplating an increase of its
transportation of facilities, and five new and
powerful locomotives are building in Philadel
phia fur the use of the road.
I!==1
THANKSGIVING DAY.—To morrow is the day
set apart by the Governor as a day of Thanks
giving to God for the many blessings vouch
safed to us as a people. The day will be gener
ally observed in our city. Divine services will
be held in all the churches ; the public offices,
banks and manufacturing establishments will
be closed; and Sunday hours will be observed at
the Post Office.
The return of this season, when we are want
to make public profession of our gratitude to
Heaven for its bounty and protecting care, says
a cotemporary, finds us less joyous of mood
than in those halcyon days when the people,
with one heart and in one spirit, gave thanks
to the Father of us all. We shall gather as
aforetime in the temples of worship ; the house
hold feast will be set, as usual, in our dwel
lings ; but of the worshippers and guests of a
year ago, thousands will be missed, and in
many a family circle vacant places, never more
to be filled by their former occupants, will be
regarded with tearful eyes by the "old folks at
home."
War has beckoned to the field the flower of
our young men. Good sons, crowds of them,
have joined the army. They will not forget
Thanksgiving. It will be kept, we doubt not,
in all our camps, and it would add greatly to
the solemnity and sublimity of the occasion, if
the voice of praise and supplication could be
lifted up by the whole army on the same day.
In the midst of our difficulties we have in
finite cause for thankfulness. We might have
had famine, or pestilence, or both superadded
to the visitation of war. From these we have
been mercifully exempted. Never has a
healthier year been known than the one now
closing in, and never has the God of Harvests
poured plenty upon us with so lavish a band.
Let us, then, be grateful and hopeful. •
A.DVAIWE LODGE, No. 39, I. 0. of Good Tem
plars meets at 7 o'clock this evening, in the
hall of the American Mechanics, fourth story
of Wyeth's Building, corner of Market street
and Raspberry alley.
RECEIVED NEW CLOTELING.—The Forty-Sixth
Pennsylvania regiment, (Col. Kuipe,) in Gen.
Bank's column, at Darnestown, Md., have re
ceived new suits of clothing, excepting over
coats, which they expect in a few days. Their
old overcoats are serviceable but much worn.—
The Verbeke Rifles, Capt. Brooks, of this city,
are attached to this regiment.
NOVEL MATCH. —A wheel-barrow wheeling
match for a deer is to come off at the Round
House to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. The
competitors will be blindfolded, and the one
who propels the barrow nearest to a stake in
the ground a couple of hundred feet distant
from the starting point, will be entitled to the
prize. The match altogether is a very novel
one, and will doubtless attract a large number
of spectators.
VIOLATING ORDINANCES. —Mr. John H. Brown
was summoned before the Mayor yeiterday
charged with violating an ordinance prohibit
ing fast and reckless driving through the streets
of the city. Fined $l.
Mr. Listman, a countryman was summoned
before,the Mayor this morning charged with
selling produce at the market before 6 o'clock,
A. M., in violation of the ordinance in that
case made and provided. Mulcted in the usual
penalty.

PREPARATIONS FOR OLIRISTAI AS.—The approach
of Christmas is seen in the preparations which
are being made for it by those of our shopkeep
ers who expect to profit by it. Already, in the
windows of• the toy and fancy shops are exhi
bited articles of sport and use, suitable for
Christmas presents. Booksellers begin to ex
hibit their handsomely bound volumes, suitable
for the season, and jewellers make an unusually
fine display. The children are now counting
the weeks and days from this to the advent of
Christmas, and wondering what presents they
will receive. As the Reason is OMa fal which
the young look forward with peculiar pleasure,
shopkeepers prepare to gratify their desires.
LADIES INCLUDED.-A few days since, Saxe, in
making a speech at a flag raising at Albany,
concluded his remarks by proposing three
cheers for the young gentlemen of East Albany,
through whose liberality the flag had been pro
cured. As the cheers were about to be given,
the chairman of the occasion amended the pro
position of Mr. Saxe, so that the cheers went
up for the young ladies as well as the young
gentlemen of East Albany. When the voice of
the cheers became silent, Saxe arose and gave
an explanation, and apology for omitting to
speak of the young ladies in his original pro
position for cheers, that he thought the young
gentlemen always embraced the young ladies
I=l
A MODERN BREAST-PLATE.--The Scientific Amer
ican describes a breast-plate,. which, it is said, is
being extensively worn by officers and men in
the federal army before Washington. It is com
posed of thin spring steel, and is worn between
the cloth and lining of a common military vest.
It has two leaves, which lay at the edges when
the vest is buttoned, so as to cover the entire
chest. It weighs only three pounds and a half,
and can be worn with ease by any officer or sol
dier during the most active exercise. It is very
strong in proportion to its weight, and it can
resist the thrust of a sword or bayonet, and it
will repel the bullets of muskets and pistols at
ranges which would otherwise be fatal to life.
Hoe 0110LERA.—The disease known as the
hog cholera is now prevailing among the pork
ers in York county to an extent never before
known there. It is singularly fatal in its effects,
very few animals surviving its attacks. What
makes the disease the more destructive is the
fact of its being infectious; so that when one of
a lot of hogs is attacked, all the rest are almost
certain to contract it unless speedily removed
to another pen. It is particularly unfortunate
that the disease should have broken out at this
season, when the animals, after the summer's
feeding, are in suitable condition for slaughter
ing. The loss, too, oftentimes falls upon those
who have invested considerable of their savings
in the purchase and fattening of these animals,
and who are little able to bear the loss.
A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE SOLDIERS.—It
would be a most grateful and seasonable act to
the soldiers now in the field from this county,
if each one of them could be supplied by friends
at home with a substantial and comfortable
pair of woolen mittens. All of them are oblig
ed to take their turn at standing guard in ex
posed places, by day and night, subject to the
severest attacks of frost, and chilling winds. The
cold iron of a musket cannot be very pleasant
to handle in keen frosty weather. We would
propose that the ladies of Dauphin county—
and particularly the young ones—should, if
possible, knit enough mittens between this time
and Christmas to supply every one of our vol
unteers with a pair. There are over two hun
dred Dauphin county men now bearing arms in
the service of their country. There ' are cer
tainly two himdred women in the county who
will each knit a single pair for the sake of the
good cause. To the men we would say, provide
the yarn for your wives, sisters, daughters, and
sweet hearts to weave into mittens for the com
fort of those who have gone forth to fight for
you and your country. They peril their lives
and all they have—you surely can and will con
tribute to this encouragement. We have al
ready published two or three directions how to
knit soldiers' "mite," but to keep the matter
fresh, we append the following : 20 stitches on
each needle, knit' 29 rows a ribbing and 20
rows plain. Then take the 20 stitches that are
upon one needle and knit 16 rows, backward
and forward. This is for the beginning of the
thumb. Then take the 20 stitches on three
needles and knit round for 16 rows, after which
narrow gradually until the thumb is finished.
Take up twenty stitches at the lower part of the
thumb. Then there will be 60 stitches on the
the three needles. Knit 20 rows. Take the
twenty stitches nearest the thumb, join them
on three needles, and knit 22 rows. Narrow
gradually till finished.
Pennevluania Malty Cele%raph, ilietmeobav Afternoon, November 27, Isbl
FIRST DAY - AFTERNOON SESSION
Mr. DEANE, of Delaware, offered a resolution
that a Committee of three Superintendents be
appointed by the Chair to report upon before
No. 1, at some future time ; and that the Com
mittee be instructed to consult and advise with
the principals of the State Normal Schools and
also with the State Department.
Mr. FORD moved to amend that the Com
mittee consist of five—three Superintendents
and ten teachers.
Agreed to.
The discussion of topic No. School Visita
tion by Superintendents—its main object and
the mode of performing it"—was taken up and
participated in by Messrs. Mifflin, Ingram, Ber
ry, Ulp, Bowers, Woodruff, Crukshank, Bowl
man, Coburne, Heckendorn, Ermentrout,
Caruthers and Diffenbaug - h.
The third topic was then taken up for con
sideration, viz : "The Relation of the County
Superintendent to the Institute—"district and
county."
The debaters were : Messrs. Burgess, Wood
ruff, Deane, Cruksbank, Boulman and Dowell.
On motion a Committee of three was appoint
ed to wait upon Governor Curtin, and invite
him to address the Convention last evening.
It was so amended that the invitation also
be extended to Governor Randall of Wisconsin.
The Committee reported that Governor Cur
tin would visit the Convention during to-day,
but owing to ill health could not undertake to
deliver a formal address. Governor Randall
was not in town. Adjourned.
EVENING SESSION.
On motion of Mr. COBURN, the consideration
of topic No. 4 was temporarily taken up.
Mr. BLAIR, of Indiana, believed in the neces
sity of having graded schools and thought that
superintendents should labor for their good.
Messrs. Bowlaian of Indiana, Cruikshank of
Montgomery, Woodruff of Chester, Dodge of
Lancaster, Porter of Juniata, Castle of Lycom
ing, Shoemaker of Franklin, Early of Elk,
Tuber of Pike, M'Candles of Mercer, Mifflin of
Cumberland, M'Cleary of Adams; Danhett of
Allegheny, Johns of Tioga, Buffington of Wash
ington and Diehich of Monroe, participated in
the discussion.
The President then submitted to the Conven
tion certain proposed amendments to the Ist
section of the Common School Law. They pro
vide for the grading of superintendent's salary,
the establishment of uniform series of text
books, the education of youths employed in
factories, and the swearing in of school directors.
The Convention adjourned at fifteen minutes
past ten o'clock.
WEDNESDAY-310ENIN6 SESSION
Prayer by Rev. Dr. GERHART, Lancaster,
Pa.
The Committee on organization, reported Mr.
Walker, of Luzerne county, Vice President, and
Mr. McFarland, of Juniata county, Secretary,
for the day. Report accepted, and the gentle
men of the organizatization of yesterday re
quested to take their seats.
Minutes of yesterday's proceedings read and
corrected.
The President announced to the convention
that certificates of membership were now ready,
and could be obtained from the clerk at the
State Department.
Mr. WICHERSHAM moved that the Com
mittee of organization be instructed to fill up
the list of officers.
Agreed to.
The President then stated at some length to
the convention the object of the meeting, and
the results to be effected by it, tracing briefly
as possible the history of education in the State
and the advantages to be effected in meeting the
wants of the system by a union of effort on the
part of every branch of education.
At the close of the address by the President,
Gov. Curtin having been previously introduced,
at the request of the Convention, made a brief
but eloquent and highly patriotic address, in
which he apologized for his seeming want of
interest in the proceedings, his time being so
much engaged in other affairs, there being
at present but one business in which he
could engage—the arming of men and sending
them out of the State. He congratulated
the assembly that there were still so many gen
gentlemen of Pennsylvania left to feel an interest
in a matter of so much importance. Amid the
violence and hostility afflicting our country, it
was pleasant to mingle in this peaceful assem
bly assembled for the purpose of promoting the
public good and general welfare. He had lately
been made to feel and realize forcibly the ben
efit of education in this State. , When this un
natural and wicked rebellion should be crushed
out, peace and harmony once more reinstated,
and when the philosopher and scholar will seek
in vain to account for the cause •of the same,
the future historian will find the most
reliable information in regard to its his
tory from the letters written by the
soldiers now in camp. .His own letters from
the ranks of our army would correspond with
those tattered here and there over the entire
country written by friends at home, from which
would be collected the future history of the
present struggle. Though eighty thousand good
peace-loving people were now in the field,
there were still men left to attend to the edu
cation of youth, and still more left to take
their places until this rebellion is crushed
out by force of arms. It was a sight be
fore which those who are now plotting the down
fall of this beautiful edifice, founded by the
blood and tears of the purest patriots, and ce
mented by the wisest of consels, might well quail
and turn their attention to the structure and
uses of hemp and feel for its effects on the jugular.
He recommended physical training in our
schools, as favored by the State Superintendent
in his address, together with military training,
and trusted that means would be taken to lead
to some such result; and concluded by express
ing the hope that no war would ever again dis
trust the harmony of the people or interrupt
the progress of this great nation.
On motion a vote.of thanks was tendered to
Gov. Curtin for his address.
Mr. WOODRUFF, of Chester county, recom
mended some actin in regard to the "Teachers
Cannon Fund."
Mr. DAVIS stated to the Convention that the
Treasurer, in whose hands a list of contributions
was placed, would be here to-day.
Mr. ARMSTRONG said one thing was lacking.
He would be hi favor of having a company of
teachers to go along with it.
The President announced an invitation from
Gov. Curtin to the members of the Convention
to meet at his residence this evening at eight
o'clock.
On motion, the Convention adjourned until
this evening at 8 o'clock, and the invitation
accepted.
Mr. BARR, of Lancaster, moved that the
programme as originally announced by the Con
vantion be carried out.
Mr. WICKERSHAM, moved 'to amend by
saying that the Convention adjourn to-morrow at
noon. After some remarks by Messrs. Cruik
shank, Burger, Buffington, Dr. Fullmer, Bates,
McFarland, Ford, of Indiana, Wilkershum,
Dodge, Barr, Gerhart and Davis.
A vote was taken on the amendment, which
was lost, and the original resolution adopted.
The Convention then adjourned till 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
COAL is now being transported from this State
over the Northern Central railroad and through
Baltimore to Washington without dumping, or
a change of cars. The average quantity thus
transported is between 200 and 300 tons per
day. Fuel is greatly needed in Washington,
and this timely supply will destroy the monop
oly which was growing up there in the all
portant matter of fuel.
STATE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC has now arrived
and is now ready for delivery, gratis, by all
druggists, to all who call for it. Our readers
may be surprised to know that this little pam
phlet which has become so much a favorite in
our section has quite the largest circulation of
any one book in the world, except the Bible.—
It is printed in many languages and scattered
through many nations as well as supplied to al
most the entire population of our own vast do
main. Every family should keep it, for it con
tains information which all are liable to require,
when sickness overtakes them and which may
prove invaluable from being at hand in season.
If you take our advice, you will call and get an
Ayer's Almanac, and when got, keep it.

ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL
BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
Board Reduced to $2 per Day.
SINCE the opening of this vast and corn
mallow Hotel, in 1854, it has been the single en
deavor of the prop letors to make it the most sumptuous,
convenient and comfortable home for the citizen and
stranger on this slue the Atlantic.
And whatever has seemed likely to administer o the
comfort of its guests they have endeavored, without re
gard to cost, to provide, and to combine all the elements
of individual and social enjoyment which modern art
has invented, and modern taste approved ; and the pat
ronage which it has commanded during the past six years
is a gratifying proof that their efforts have been appre
ciated
To meet the exigencies of the times, when all are re
quired to practice the most rigid economy, the under
signed
Rave Reduced the Price of Board to
Two Dollars oerlD,ay,
at tho saute abating none of the luxuries with ;which
their table has hitherto been suppliea.
