maximum standard, has received marching

the seat a' star.
SERIOUS AOCIDENT.—A young man from Mif
flintowu, known by the name of Samuel Fasio,
who has for a short time been brakeman on a
railroad train, was badly injured recently tleAr
Newport. We did not understand how the ac
cident took place, but it is likely that the in
juries will prove tattl. He was bfought to the
McClellan House in this city, where he yet lies.

A NOBLE AND DESERVED COMPLIMENT has just
been 'raid to one of .our most worthy and gal
lant young citizens by Governor Curtin, in corn
inis.sioning Wm. E. Sees as Captain of Company
11th regiment, C. V., vice Knox, deceased.
Captain Sees' is as good a soldier as ever drew a
sword, and had a title to promotion in the
services be rendered during the three mouths'
enlistment. We congratulate him on his ap
pointment.

DISCH ARO ED FROM THE SERVlCE.—Captain
LTiman's company of light artillery, noticed in
yesterday evening's Tstscatipu, as having re
fused to 'acquiesce in the order of the Secre
tary of War to be mustered in as infantry,
this morning, were marched to the recruit
ing office of Capt. Dodge, in Market Square,
and discharged from the service—orders to that
effect h , ving been received from the War De
paitment. The men composing the company
will return to their respective homes
i=r3=
BKING DEMOLWHED —The large frame build
ing at the corner of Market and Fifth streets,
formerly occupied by Messrs. Eby & Kunkle, as
a wholesale and retail grocery store, is now be
ing demolished to make room for a handsome
three-story brick building. The property is
owned by the above firm, who will use the
greater part of the new building for the same
purpose as that to which the old building was
devot , d. Iu the mean time the firm continue
business in the new building in Market street,
a few doors west of the old establishment.
THE EIGHTEENTH U. S. INFANTRY.—Capt. J.
M. Eyster still remains in our city recruiting for
this fine regiment. A large number of re
cruits have already been received and sent for
ward, and others present themselves daily to be
enrolled under the same colors. This prefer
ence is not only owing to the good renown of
the regiment, but to the personal popularity of
Captain Eyster, who is known to possess all the
qualifications that serve to make up an able
and accomplished officer. The regiment hangs
out its recruiting flag in the Exchange, Walnut
street.

Tn PROPOSED ADJOURNMENT.—The Sellate,ol2
Tuesday, had the resolution providing for an
adjournment of the Legislature from the 21st
of this month to the llth of June, under con
sideration, and finally committed it to the Ju
diciary Committee, with the 'understanding
that the Committee is opposed to the proposed
recess This di+poses of the subject for the
present. Several Senators opposed an adjourn
ment unless extra pay and mileage are pro
vided for—which are both prohibited in the
resolution. This would involve an extra ex
pense of $20,000
BALL's BLUFF BR ISONERS. —About fifty releas
ed Union prisoners from Richmond, Va., pas
sed through here day More yesterday via the
Northern Central and Lebanon Valley railroad
on their way to their homes down east. They
looked as if they had seen pretty hard usage,
and on being questioned as to their treatment
while in captivity they replied that they receiv
ed daily, about one third the quantity of food
they really needed. This story agrees with
others that have come (rota prisoners, and there
is no doubt but that our soldiers were misera
bly provided for by the rebel authorities at
Richmond. The soldiers above mentioned,
though from their looks they have seen hard
times, were in the best possible spirits.
As ESIEUTE Is CHURCH .—The Lewistown
Democrat says that something of a "sensation"
came off in the Lutheran church in that town,
on Sunday night. A clergyman from Ohio, by
invitation of the pastor, was in the pulpit, and
assisted in the services. The second hymn was
read by him, when to, the chtir sat silent, (!)
the leader positively refusing to play or sing.
Finally, the pastor of the church himself start
ed the singing, the congtegation joined in
heartily, and the services proceeded without
another material interruption. Of course after
the church was "out," the emu& of the choir
leader—generally regarded as an indignity to
the pastor rather than the gentleman at whom
it was aimed—was the absorbing topic of dis•
russion all over town.
PATRIOTIC }lsmNs& —Between twenty-five
and thirty ladies, of the highest respectability,
have tendered their services to Mayor Sawyer,
of Pittsburg, as nurses, under the recent inquiry
of Gov. Curtin, as to how many good surgeons
and nurses could be obtained there, incase their
services were required. Most of these ladies
called personally upon the Mayor, and many of
them have friends in the army of the Potomac
—either husbands, sons, brothers, or more dis
tant relatives. A few residing outside the city
have volunteered by letter, and among these
is a young lady residing at Rich Valley, who
writes a very patriotic note to the Mayor, evin
cing a willingness to go at any moment, and
devote her best efforts to relieving the wants
and alleviating the sufferings of our brave de
fenders. These tenders are made at a time
when there is comparatively no excitement,
but should the news of a bloody conflict startle
our people. there would be no limit to the num
ber of ladies who would volunteer to go to
Washington, or even to the battle field.
BLUSTERING MEN.—Mustering, blowing,
squally, cloudy, unpleasant March has made
its debut, and if the household saying be true
that when this month "comes in like a lion, it ,
will go out like a lamb," then we think we
may expect some mild, genial weather about
the time it makes irs exit; for whether the
weather thus far be lion like or no, there cer
tainly has been a continual roaring. Now,
though we would not wish to detract from the
historic prominence which the old curmud
geon has attained, who first made the trite ob
set vation in regard to "lionizing" the month
of March, yet we do think it is excruciating
figurative, and by the manner in which it is
quoted, repeated, cited and articulated by al
most every tongue, we s'pose it must be true.
March—there is so much said about marching
now-a-days, and us March is one of the longest
and most unpleasant part; of the year, we feel
for the moment imagining ourselves a military
"osifer," and with Falstaffian bravery crying
out—forward March ! and give place to the
genial suns of your successor—coy, modest,
bashful April. But why is March thus slan
der, d and foully misrepresented for being the
twigs's! and !nest unpleasant month? Simply
because the roads are kn..e-deep with mud,
the sky in overcast with clouds, and the at
mosphere is damp and murkey. Well as the
advice which we can give to secure health
against inroads from inclement weather, we
would, say, wear thick soled bouts or shoes—
keep the feet perfectly dry, and you wilt come
through the safe,—that is if you should keep
your health. Two troo.
I=l
OUR PATRIOTIC LADIES.—Some of onr lades
—ladies are foremost in every good work—
have been engaged in a most humane and no
ble work—that of raising funds to purchase
the material for making bandages and lint for
our soldiers on the Potomac. It is expected ‘
on all sides, that the army of the Potomac,
among which are most of those who left this
county, will have a terrible battle one of these
days, in which many of them will be wounded,
and the bandages and lint are for the comfort
of the wounded.
.Though it is often the case that the noble
efforts of women, in a good cause, are over
looked, and allowed to .pass unnoticed, the
laudable efforts and patriotic labors, of our
loyal women, in this war, for the suppresion of
rebellion, cannot be overlooked or forgotten ;
and while some have, Florence Nightengale
like, gone to labor as' nurses in the soldiers'
hospital, the great work accomplished by them
has been by labors at home, knitting, making
garments, and preparing delicacies for them,
which, but, for the ladies philanthropic labors,
would be unknown to them. We suppose
there is scarcely a soldier in all our vast army,
who has not been the recipient of some favor
—the work of our women. Every town and
village has witnessed their labors, and history,
when it records the facts and features of this
war, will be absolutely partial, should it fail to
record the part which patriotic, union loving
ladies have acted tu the drama. Their acts
are a practical demonstration of the saying,
that our ladies are for union to a man, and we
sincerely hope that they man soon realize the
experience of a speedy, a blissful and a happy
union.
FROM THE FORTY-SIXTH PENNSYLVANIA REGI
MENT.-The Forty-sixth Pennsylvania Regi
ment, Col. Knipe, of this city, is now encamp
ed about one mile from Hancock, and the other
regiments comprising Gen. Williams' (Third)
brigade in or near the town. The brigade
has been under marching orders for the past
four days. They were ordered, on the 24th,
to cook three days rations, to be carried in
haversacks, and four more to be taken with
them in wagons, to be ready to march next
morning after daybreak— to leave all camp
equipage behind—the baggage of the officers
and camp materials to he taken, after they
marched, to Hagerstown, and there to be stored.
On Sunday morning last, near midnight,
Companies A, B, C and D, (the Verbeke Rifles,
Capt. Brooks, of this city,) of the Forty-sixth
regiment, were ordered out and marched on
short notice, with two days' cooked provisions
In haversacks. The night was very dark, and
rain began to fall before they left the camp.
After marching through mud shoe-mouth deep,
and in many places to their knees, they ar
rived, about an hour before daylight, on the
Potomac, at a point called " Sir John's Run,"
six miles from their present camp. The men,
after they halted, suffered severely from the
cold, as na fires were permitted to be made
until the day had dawned. After several
hours' rest, they crossed in a: flat to the Vir
ginia side. Here they found two companies of
the Sixly-second Ohio regiment encamped,
guarding a bridge, which had been lately erect
ed in place of one burned by the rebels on the
8d of January last. Information had been re
ceived that several companies were on their
march, via Bath, to destroy the present struc
ture so lately built, and to prevent their ap
proach the detachment was so suddenly called
out. They arrived in Bath, about two and a
half miles back of the river, and there learned
that several companies, which had been en
camped beyond there on the Winchester road,
pulled up stakes and made a hasty retreat on
their approach. They returned to camp that
night, taking a different road home, and
crossed the river opposite Hancock, seven or
eight miles from Bath.

LOCAL LEGISLATION —Th4 Harrisburg Exchange
and Mercantile Company.—ln the Senate yester
day Mr. Bougbter called up Senate bill No.
117, an act to incorporate the Harrisburg Ex
change and Mercantile company. As the bill
interests the merchants and business men gen
erally of our city, we append below its pro
visions entire, together winh the proceed
ings incident to its passage in. the Sen
ate. It might be proper for •us to
add that the Committee on Corporations,
to whom the bill was referred, after mature
deliberation and a thorough investigation ciftt
its provisions, reported it back to the Senate
with a negative recommendation. Its final pas
sage, therefore, by that body under these cir
cumstances, .is One of the mysteries of legisla
tion..
In committee of the whole, (Mr. KINSEY in
the Chair,) the bill was read as follows, and
agreed to.
AN ACT to incorporate the Harrisburg Ex
change and Mercantile company.
SucnoN 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
louse of Representatives of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That
[homes H. Willton, George S. Kemble and
Samuel L. M'Collough, and such other persons
as may be associated with them, their heirs
and assigns, be, and they are hereby erected
into a body politic and corporate, under the
name, style and title of the Harrisburg Ex
change and Mercantile company, for the purpose
of buying, selling and exchanging moneys,
goods, wares and merchandise ; and for the im
provement of the facilities for transacting such
business, they may make advances on all man
ner of personal property, which property, to
gether with property of any other kind obtained
by purchase, trade or barter, they may dispose of
at public or private sale at such times and places,
in the city of Harrisburg, as they may see fit,
and by which name they may sue and be sued,
plead and be impleaded, in any court of error
or equity ; and said corporation may purchase,
hold and convey real and personal estate in
any amount not exceeding at any one time
seventy-five thousand dollars.
SEC. 2. That the first meeting of said corpo
ration shall be called by the parties named in
the first s ction of this set, and shall be held in
the city of Harrisburg, within sixty days after
the paz , -Afre of this act, when and where they
shall organize said company by electing a pre
sident and secretary by ballot, who shall con
tinue in office until the first Monday in October,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty two, at
which time and on the same day annually
thereafter, said officers shall be elected; but if.
from any cause whatever, said election should
not be held on the day specified herein, a for
feiture of their charter shall not be worked
thereby, but an election can be held any time
thereafter by a call from a majority of the com
pany, or at the next annual election the officers
previously elected holding their offices until
their successors are elected.
SEC. 3. That the said company shall make
annual return under oath or affirmation to the
Auditor General of all the goods sold by them
at public, sale and on the gross amount so sold,
they shall pay into the State treasury a com
mission of one per centum in consideration of
which they shall be exempt from any other
taxation except that imposed for city, State and
county purposes.
SEC. 4. That this charter shall continue in
•full force for the term of fifteen years from the
date of its passage, unless extended by an act of
the Legislature, and the Legislature reserves
the right to amend, alter or repeal it at any
time in such manner as shall not do injustice
to the said company or any member thereof.
The committee rising, the bill came before
the Senate. on second reading, when the first
section was read.
Mr. LOWRY. This bill has been before the
Committee on Corporations, and was by them,
I believe, unanimously reported with a recom
mendation that it be negatived. It is a bill to
incorporate a company for the purpose of carry
ing on a pawnbroking business in the city of
Harrisburg. I had the honor to report the bill
from the committee with the recommendation I
have stated; but the proposition is now to rush
it through here, rough shod, over the Senate.
I ask that it be at least postponed for proper
consideration, and I make a motion to that ef
fect. I will now endeavor, as briefly as possi
ble, to show why it should never become a law.
There was no difference of opinion in the com
mittee to which the subject was referred, not a
voice being raised in defence of the measure.—
The proposition, in a few words, is to authorise
a corporation to swindle the public by charging
an extravagant per centage for what is conceived
to be a convenience afforded by them, to pawn
broke and do almost every kind of business in
the city of Harrisburg.
The SPEAKER reminded the Senator from
Erie that the question before the Senate was on
the motion of that Senator to postpone the bin.
The motion to postpone was then not agreed
to.
The question being on the
. first section of
the bill,
Mr. SMITH, (Phila.) This bill appears to be,
and really is, what the Senator from Erie has term
ed it, an authority to pawnbroke ; but that fact
does not, in my mind, weigh anything against
the bill. We passed a bill last session, with
great unanimity in both houses, establishing
an institution of an important character in the
city of Philadelphia. Upon an examination of
this bill I find it very similar, if not altogether
so, to the bill that we passed relative to the city
of Philadelphia. Ido not know why a corpo
ration of respectable gentlemen in a city like
Harrisburg should be deprived of the privilege
of loaning money at a fair percentage, to the
poor, when that class of individuals known as
Jews—the worst kind of shavers—are author
ized to carry on that business. By the license
of the Legislature, individuals tri the pawn
broking business now charge twenty, thirty,
and sometimes fifty per cent, and in many cases
the articles received at their establishments are
never redeemed. lam altogether opposed to
the pawnbroking system, and some years ago
had a bill passed through the House of Repre
sentatives to repeal the whole system ; but if
individuals are to be allowed to carry on this
business, there is no reason why this particular
case should be made an exception to the gener- ,
ality of such cases. The proprietors of pawn
broking institutions are under certain restric
tions by the law, and any citizen may institute
a quo warrants, mandamus, or any other sum
mary proceeding against them. The system is
established in France and has flourished there
for a number of years much to the benefit of
the suffering poor ; in adjacent countries it is
likewise in successful operation ; lam inform
ed by my colleague it is now in operation in the
city of Boston. The poor of Philadelphia have
occasionally been enabled to receive a fair
equivalent for their goods by means of these
establishments. Although I voted for reporting
the bill negatively, I shall now vote in its
favor.
Mr. LOWRY. I regret exceedingly that a
bill of this kind should have passed the Legis
lature last winter or any other time. It is pro
posed that the contemplated pawnbroking es
tablishment shall be privileged to conduct a
business of loans onlmerchandize, money, and
almost every conceivable article, If the Senate
understands its purport, the bill will not be
passed. I merely ask that the consideration of
the bill be deferred for one day. If that is de
nied me, I must be content with casting my
vote against the bill.
Mr. M'CLURE. I have not heard, in the
course of this debate, any objection to the de
tails of the bill ; and, therefore, I can see no
Rhoads' Old Stand
propriety in its recommittal. The bill is right
in principle and detail, and therefore should be
considered immediately.
The remaining sections of the bill were read
and agreed to.
Mr. IRISH offered the following as a new
section :
That this corporation shall pay into the
Treasury of this Commonwealth, a bonus of
one-half of one per centum on the capital stock
hereby authorized, or hereafter created, in four
equal annual instalments, and such other tax as
is now or may hereafter be imposed by law on
corporations ; and the stockholders of said
company shall be individually liable for all
debts due mechanics, workmen and laborers
employed by said company, and for all materials
and provisions furnished to said company, to be
sued for and collected as is provided in the
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth sections of
the act incorporating the Lackawanna coal and
iron company, approved the fifth day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three; and
the privileges hereby granted shall not extend
for a period longer than twenty years
On agreeing to the section,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
LOWRY and Mr. BOUGH LER, and were as
follow, viz:
YEAS —Messrs. Clymer, Crawford, Glatz. Irish,
Ketcham, Kinsey, Lamberton, Landon, Lowry,
Mott, Reilly and Wharton-12.
--- - -
NAYS - Messsr. Benson, Boughter, Connell,
Hamilton, Hiestand, Lawrence, M'Cure, Mere
dith, Nichols, Penney, Robinson, Serrill, Smith,
(Montgomery,) Smith, (Philadelphia,) Stein and
Hall, Speaker -16.
So the section was negatived.
The bill then passed finally.
LAkon.—"lt is to labor only that man owes
every thing possessed of exhangeable value;
labor is the talisman that has raised him from
the c.indition of a savage—that has changed
the (Lauri - and the forest into cultivated fields
—that has covered the earth with cities, and
the ocean with ships—that has given us plenty,
comfort and elegance, instead of want, misery,
and barbarism ;" and through its beautifying

on a knowledge of ovr civil institutions, should be spa.
daily otutivated. as the chief element of nationality. It
can be opor ative and abiding tor wieful purposes, only as
indu.nd by en tot. 'bloat approbation of the na•nre and
principles of our government. Such intelligence, familiar
and general among all classes of the people, is essential
to the permanence and prosperity of the government.
1 his is requisite s.pecielly now, from the extraordinary
events of the time, and the vastly important questions of
rational polity soon to be solved. The above work gives
the construction of the provisions of the Constttut on cf
tile United states. and of those of tie several Scales, es
determined by judicial authority and settled practice, or
derived from standard writers. It is a fact, that the
views ol constitutional aw thea pretested on some sub
jects of the greatest Importance, which formerly and at
the time of the fest publication of the book were discuss
e l with much dtderence of ei inion, have become recog
nized as settled doctrines, to be acted on in reference to
the highest interests of tine nation in this most eventful
period. _
