VAITIABLR PROPERTY AT PRIMO SALE —The large tavern stand, known as Halback's, situ ated on the river, about five miles above this city, will be sold at publio sale at the Court Howe, to-mormw at one o'clock. This Is a most desirable property, and well worthy the atteLtion of capitalists. The property will be sold in lots, or the whole, to suit purchasers. -•••--- A GOOD APPOINTMENT.-Dr. Samuel D. Charl ton, of this city, has been appointed one of the Examining Surgeons for the decision of claims to Pension. He is an able, accomplished and faithful physician, whose reputation is not sec ond to any man in his profession in this city. In securing his services, the government has gained an (,firer who will zealously discharge his whole duty. 1=1:1=E1 Bosansas in the different hotels of Boston have a fund, and each hotel alternately invites a certain number of the wounded soldiers in the hospitals of that city, as are able to leave their wards, to a Sunday dinner. By this system the soldiers enjoy gond company and a good dinner, once a week, at least. We have not heard of any such movement among the permanent boarders at any of the hotels la this city When we do, we shall mike a note of it. SANFORD' B OPERA House WAS again crowded last night with an audience whose loud ap plause attests their appreciation of the perform • ance, and the efforts of the energetic manager. Mho Mollie Germon, the beautiful and accom plished actress, appears every evening in a variety of characters, and has won the esteem of the playguiug public. The company appear this and every evening during the week, and we need nut longer urge our citizens to go, for the Opera House has become an established institution in our midst, and will attract crowds of admiring and enthusiastic people so long as it is under the present popular management. A good bill is announced for to-night, and another " j aria" may be expected. IRON CARE FOR TIER PraNSYLVANLa RAILROAD.— The Pennsylvania Railroad Company are haying constructed several iron cars for the use of their road. The inventor of this new vehicle claims that it is many tons lighter than a wooden car, and much stronger ; that it will last much longer, and is almost entirely secure from acci dent. If it came in collision with another, was thrown off the track, or down an embankment, or through a bridge, it might be badly dented, but would remain whole. No loss of life could occur from splinters, the breaking out of bot tom, or top, or sides. There might be a jam and a squeeze, I , ut nothing worse. Had iron qkars been in use on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, at the time of the terrible disaster near Fort Washington, a few years since, one of the moat horrible incidents of the calamity would have been avoided. We allude to the roasting to death of scores of poor creatures in consequence of the wrecks of the cars taking fire. There is nothing like iron. THE DRATTED MEN AND THEIR ORGANDAIION.- Some of our cotemporaries throughout the State are filled with complaint, and express great ap prehension lest the gallant and devoted men who have so cheerfully submitted to the exac tions of the draft, should be placed under the command of incompetent and morally corrupt leaders. The Reading Times is particularly se vere on what it calls " a moderate sized army of popinjays, dandies, squirts and loafers gen orally," who infest this city, and who are en gaged in all kinds of plots and plans to get po sition as officers in the companies and regi ments of drafted men. Our ootemporary is as near right as he ever was, and we are humili ated to make the confession. But we hope the' drafted men will be on their guard, and refuse to receive such " popinjays, dandies, squirts and loafers" as their officers. So far as the ma terial is concerned out of which these officers are to be created, the judgment of the drafted men themselves would revolt with horror at going into battle under such leadership.— Pruntards and gamblers are princes to some of WI material thus retuned to, because the last shakes of dissipation, lust and gaming, have dieir illustration in the creatures thus aspiring to the control of men. We write men, because the drafted soldiers are mostly from a class of the community that is not given to such ex eesses—men whose confidence is easily gained, because honest and unsuspecting themselves. On the subject of this competition for com mand, the Governor has the discretionary pow er of rejecting whom he pleases and commis sioning only such as are worthy and competent, This descretion he is bound to exercise, if he is true to his own sense of justice and that high personal interest which he has taken in all that concerns the private soldier. The soldier him self must exercise, also, his own discretion. What he knows concerning an aspirant for com mand, before a commission has been issued, he must lay before the Governor, and our word for it, neither a drunkard, a loafer or an incompe tantman will receive a recognition or command front Andrew G. Curtin. EXPLOSION OP A LOOOMOITVP.-A locomotive on the New Jersey Central Railroad exploded on Wednesday morning, injuring the fireman very severely, and making a complete wreck of the machinery. TEEN TAX &AXE'S ON CNIOSEI AND DRAWL The Commissiener has made a decision relative to tax stamps on checks, drafts, notes, ikc. It is of interest to every business man, and is as follows: TREAFURT DEPARTMENT, OPIIO■ OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WARELINGTON, October 23, 1862.-1 would may, that when a maker of a check, draft, note, or any other document, shall neglect to put on the required stamp, it will not do for the party receiving the same to affix the stamp and cancel it, but it must be returned to the maker for him to do it. Ciao. S. Bourwurs, Commissioner. HALLOWRIN. —lf the spirits of the dead were to revive and set themselves to writing locals on the present theme, we might expect a very curious melange from such a collection. Hallo ween Is thought to be a time when witches, devils, and other mischief making beings are all abroad on their baneful midnight rounds. Those aerial people, the fairies, in particular, are said on that occasion to hold a solemn con vocation, a grand anniversary. Burns has cele brated in a style in which no other poet can hope to do the inimitable fancies and freaks which mark the period of hallowtide and dis tinguish it from all other festivities. However much it may have been observed elsewhere and at other times, it is certain we have gradually discontinued the merry-makings which once made a wild carnival out of the oc casion. Our modern orgies are limited to family parties, or email companies ; chivalrous old gentlemen no longer emulate each other in exploits with the bottle, and Halloween, once the night of so much uproarious merriment, has now simmered down for the most part into prim respectability. Still there is enough to separate and distinguish it from all other even ings of the year. It is the hour when street boys club together and ring multitudinous door bells, hiding up alleys and behind corners, and exploding into shrieks of laughter at the ulti mate success of their tintinabulations. Surely Poe must have written his song of the bells on such a night. It is the hour also when servants, after waiting for the sixth summons of the clap per or knocker, at length stealthily preparing for answer, hide in ambush, and make a sudden sally upon the impertinent foe. Among some families where jollity is the order of the day, and the reign of some Lord of Misrule is sought for, the goodly custom of celebrating Halloween yet survives, and is en tered Into with zest by both old and young. Fmaily gatherings, met for the sole purpose of enjoyment, revive, at least for a while, the spirit of the past. A very engaging device is to suspend from the ceiling a rope, to which Is attached a little scaffolding of candies or apples, and require each of the company, the hands being tied, to grasp the fruit with the teeth. Such glaring and gleaming of shoulders, necks and arms, such twinkling of saucy eyes, such rows of glittering teeth, aad kiss-suggesting lips, such beautiful distortions of feature, as we have seen on these interesting occasions Naming apple-seeds can be made entertaining. "One I love, two I love, three I love, I say," is a very beautiful sentence when the one within earshot happens to be the number allu ded to. Walking down stairs backwards, with a mirror held before one, is suitable for old maids, and blowing petals from flowers Is very attractive in young ones. The Philopena, if taken in the German style, and not in our En glish one, becomes excessively amusing, not only to the parties immediately interested, but also to all observers. One custom, however, we strongly recommend—that which relates to the arts employed by the lasses to discover the persons and names of their buns. Surely, if there is a time fitter than any other for a wo man to look beautiful, It is such a time as that. Young ladies, all look your prettiest to-night, and amongst all your male acquaintance do not fail to discover who's who. Bright lights and judicious toilette can transform a plain woman into a pretty one, a pretty woman' into beautiful one, and a beautiful woman into per fection itself. It is amusing to recall the thousand and one oddities which once marked the incoming and outgoing of Halloween. The holiday annals of our country, and consequently city, are not so full in this respect as those of others. In olden times, maids and matrons, bachelors and boys, all acted in concert ; but alas, "Golden lade and girls all malt, Like chimney-sweepers, come to dust !" and so their customs have come to dust like wise. Then they used to dive with their months for apples in tubs of water ; they crack ed nuts, and drew cabbages ; they took pills compounded of butter and sugar, mixed with grated hazel-note and nutmegs ; they haunted church doors at midnight, and exercised visions with versicles ; they mounted on poles biasing faggots of heath and broom and flax-dressings; they made immense bonfire' among the furze, with swimming beakers and flowing cups of ale; they invoked the sea-god, standing in the surf at twilight ; they gave alms, they jingled bells, and they sprinkled water ; they drank white wine, and they drank ale and milk min gled with apples roasted and brand ; they told fortunes from the tracks of snails among ashes, they supped off parsnips, and made dumb somas, seed and oat cakes, which they kept like the show-bread in the Bible. Pastries and pancakes, apple-parings and lemon-peels, hemp seed and green peascods, sprigs of ash and lady birds, and a hundred other things formed the sum of their entertainments. The devices of the maidens for finding out their own true loves loves were infinite. Nowadays,' however, true are either very scarce or they are past finding out. Mammas genera* settle this thing, and who shall say that, after all, this is not the most genteel method ! The gentle judgment of mamma entirely su percedes all solicitude on the part of the daugh ter. If, indeed, there were any troth in the prescribed forms of old by which the spirits of the absent or departed were invoked, how , many of those who met their doom, either in the camp, in the hospital, or in the field, would be conjured to-night to render back a voice of the past ! We sincerely hope that this could be done, and so brighten with dear mem ories the fleeting hours' of Halloween.

By order of the Governor. JAS. KING, Surg. Gen. Pa. FRAUDS AT CAMP Cuirmi.—The following statement hom the Cambria Tribune of today, seems to corroborate certain charges brought against an examining surgeon at Camp Curtin, who was promptly discharged from the service, when the facts were brought to the notice of Surgeon General King. The Mane alleges that returned conscripts from Harrisburg report that discharges are obtained for much less than substitutes can be hired. The endue operandi is said to be thus : d bargain is made with a lawyer for whatever the conscript or his friends can spare,- from twenty-tive to one hundred dol lars. The lawyer then consults the examining Surgeon, the conscript is brought in, and no difficulty is met with in obtaining a disability certificate. The inference, of course, is, that the lawyer divides his fee with the Surgeon, which enables him to see defects in the con script not visible to other eyes, and the man is discharged, The arrest and dismiessil of an ex amining Surgeon named Whitely, on Wednes day, charged with receiving fees for examining conscripts and substitutes, gives color to the many stories we have heard to this effect. We are sorry that the legal fraternity should be connected with this business, for in the pr - fession of the law, Harrisburg boasts of as hon orable attorneys as there are in the Union.
