WILD PIGDONII.—The Hanover Specialor Bap :
"Thin favorite game has already made its ap
pearance in the woods and country adjoining
town, and every day large numbers of our
iportsmen can be seen wending their way
thither to play havoc among them. We are
informed that they are very abundant this

DIM Rivers.—We notice by our exchanges
that two ex newspaper writers, and both devo
ted Democrats, are out for the position of Ser
geant-at-Arms of t,e Legislative House of
Representatives. Both won their proudest
laurels as writers and opponents of the National
Administration, while identified with the
Patriot and Union, but as they have ceased to be
connected with that sheet, they will offer them
selves, of course, on other merit than any which
they gained by that connection. We would
suppose (in the absence of any definite or
expressed claim of either to the position) that
our quondam friend J nea will "run" on his
handsome, while MacDowe;ll will of course enter
the track of the Legislative office hunting
course, on his valor and Elie reputation he won
in the "big war." We'll bet on " handsome,"
as he has such persuasive' ways ; but of course
the success of neither will affect the market for
wool or whisky.
I=l
Tax Willa of one of the drafted man from
Derry township, Mr. F., was appealed to by
another lady whose husband had been also
dratted, but who bad procured a substitute, to
know why the husband of the lady in question
did not also provide himself with such a shield
from war.
"Your husband is worth money—he could
have afforded to pay some one to fight for him
better than ray husband could, aLd therefore
we all wonder that he has gone with the draft
ed men," were the Interrogation and the sur
prise expressed by the questioning dame.
"You need not wonder," replied Mrs. F.
"My husband and myself freely consulted on
the subject. He knew that while he was
absent his wife and family would be provided
for, and he felt it his duty to make the sacri
fice of time and service for the dear old geg
and our glorious country. I thought so tOo,
kissed him and told bim to go to the war."
"Yes, Mrs. F., that le all very well," con
tinned, tinipsmiccutor, "but suppose your bus
band is killed?"
"I would rather be the widow of a fighting man
and asoldier, than the wife of a sneak and coward!"
was the rejoinder . of Mrs. F.
This ended all further conversation.
TES HOSPITAL &WASS SOH MS POST. —The
West Branch Bulletin; one of the best journals
printed in Williamsport, asks the TIELSOSAPS
a searching question in regard to the dimpadtion
of the hospital stores so lavishly contributedby
the people of Pennsylvania for the relief of the
sick and wounded soldiers at this and other
military posts within the commonwealth. .8o
far as our knowledge goes, we Volitive that . the
litotes forwarded to this post were disposed' of
in a manner which best conduced to , thohecitn
fort and the cheer of the soldier in the hospital.
' There may have been articles which, were of
perishable nature, and which, before they ar
rived here, had become unfit for use. 'fhetie of
course were necessarily cast in heaps in the
camps and near the hospitals, but even of these
the quantity was so small as scarcely to attract
attention or be worthy of,a reference, and cer
tainly not, of. sufficient value to arouse cdm
plaint, notwithstanding, however, those in
charge of our hospitals are thankful for the
least important and most ineignificint contri
bution. ,
,
In regird to the information which has
•
reached our Williamsport c etemporarv, that
large amounts of hospital stores are decayng
or going to destructiou on account of careless
ness, we can safely answer that such is not the
fact. Except the articles to which we snide,
the perishable luxuries with which the btintnty
of the people overwhelmed the Quarterin9itat'
and Surgeon General, nothing bee been lost.
Every thing that could be used or preserved,
has been thus appropriated. Therefore, letinot
the people be disheartened. Their bountiful
gifts have been well applied. Their genermity
is ntell embalmed in the gratitude of many a
wounded soldier. And God only knows how
soon again the people may be appealed tn, to
make similar contributions to other thousands
who may be crowded into our hospitals, he
victims of the battles that two atm impending.
Therefore let us not allow oumelves to , • •me
mere fault-finders with those Tao are '
what is possible for /manta forethought, +ill,
devotion andind inky toaccomplish. And lei onr
loyal Mends in the rural districts be preppred
to answer such a summons for aid at pal Imo
meat within the next months. t I.
Coin Mins are beginning to to discovered
in various parts'of Kansas.

'A SLIGHT DISTIIRBANCII was created at the
corner of Second and Market streets on S Aur
day evening last, caused by a misunderstanding
between some of, the men attached to the Pro
vost Guard. It appeared that two full grown
soldiers of one company undertook to browbeat
one of the boys of another—but the boy refused
to be browbeaten, and thus created the row.
Many angry words were spoken, but no blows
struck or blood flowed. The Guard has here
tofore borne a good character for decorum and
decency, but many scenes like this may injure
its respectability.
Tua Paton or Ctorras.—Coffee, since the pas
sage of the new tariff act, and the very mate
rial falling off of supplies, has materially ad
vanced in price. One year ago Rio coffee could
be bought at from eight to ten cents per
pound. At the present time the price is thirty
and thirty-one cents. The following figures
will exhibit the price of coffee at the port of

Imam RSTINIIII.—Merchant tailors are re_
quired to take out license as manufacturers,
but as such they have a right to sell their own
goods on their own premises, without taking out
license as dealers. In some parts of the country
assessors are requiring merchant tailors to take
out license for both. This is a mistake, unless
the tailor sells goods other than those he man
ufactures to the amount of $l,OOO per a nnum .
♦ tailor is not roluired to take out license as a
manufacturer, unless his sales of goods, after
they are made up, amount to $l,OOO or more
per annum. The tax ie on the tailor, and not
on the purchaser. We perceive that some of
our merchants are charging the revenue tax as
an item in each bill against a customer.
THE PERSIDENT Or TUB UNITE, STATES is the
great obstacle in the way of the men who are
at heart anxious to close the war by recognizing
the Confederacy. They feel this fact keenly.
linable to depose or get rid of him, they try to
weaken him by sowing broadcast all manner of
fabrications as to his objects and the dissensions
to his Cabinet. Their last experiment is to im
press the public mind with the idea that the
President is convinced that his emancipation
proclamation was a mistake, has proved to be
a failure, and is to be withdrawn. Should this
adventure fail, they will doubtless give currency
to the equally well-founded rumor that he in
tends resigning in favor of Jefferson Davis !
Ramon= Dmiorrion OF THE Tweerr-EIGHTH
Itmanieri PKINIORIVANIA. Vorammens.—This reg
iment, which was formerly under the command
of Colonel Geary, has been in active service for
15 months, and, at one time, numbered 15 full
companies, but have been reduced to about 800
men. It is stated that an order has been Waxed
transferring Companies L, M, N, 0 and P (all
of which were recruited in Philadelphia (to a
regiment, known as the One-hundred-and•forty
seventh, the Colonel of which is to be Major
Pardee, of the Twenty eighth. The men have
been ordered to remove the letter and number
from their caps, which they refuse to do, the
withdrawal of these companies creating great
dissatisfaction among them. Gov. Curtin has
been appealed to in the matter.
Ins Haman or ma Daimon Min.—The Bud_
den change in the weather, from the mild and
pleasant atmosphere of Autumn to the severe
and blustering frosts and winds of Winter, has
had a great effect upon the drafted men' in
Camp Curtin. The hospitals are receiving
daily immense accessions of these men, some of
whom are dangerously ill, and all of whom are
oompletely unfitted for duty. The accom
modations for the drafted men are in reality
of the most inferior description. Their tents
are very poor—their clothing no heifer, and
hence in the present condition of the weather,
their sickness is not astonishing. The Sur
geons in charge of the camp are unremitting
in their attentions to these men. In the
hospital they have all the care and attention
possible to render nader the circumstancee and
the great increase of patients thus produced.
It is hoped that the sickness will be checked,
and that every effort will be made to secure the
comfort of the drafted men.
Muses. HMO= :—Having seen it noticed in
one of the Harrisburg papers that an order has
lately issued that all those who vend any:ar
ticles in Camp Curtin should leave, and thus
depriving many a poor person of the means to
make a little honestly. Many a poor woman,
whose husband, brother or eon is now fightinl
to restore our once happy country to its foriner
proud position, and whose relatives came for
ward at the call of our President in time of our
country's danger, to risk their all and.lay dawn
their lives on their country's altar, left their
families in destitute circumstances. And nhw,
I ask you Messrs Editors, is it right, is it just,
that those poor people should be deprived of
this little privilege I Among those who ' t are
ordered away is a poor soldier from the Com
pany B, Pennsylvania Reserves, who was severe
ly wounded on the field of battle, and who,
this day, carries the bullet in his body, which
ha crippled him for the balance of his life,
and often can he be seen in the streets of Har
risburg, with crutch and cane ; he also was in
abided-in this order, and with his little traps
which kind friends helped him, he was ordered
away. The gallant soldier who spilled his
blood on the field of battle, to defend hia, ainn
trY against its enemies, and who is now a
cripple for the balsam of his life, is Also
ordered off, and the little privilege, to eart an
honest penny, is denied him. A. CITIZEN.

acquainted with this matter, will give "the
fall facts in the case. Let us have the °Weir by
which this poor soldier was excluded from

ARRIVAL OF GENERAL CAMERON AT MIS BOMB
—We announced on Saturday that Gen. Simon
Cameron had arrived by the s earner Scotia
at New York, and this morning we have
the pleasure to announce that on. Saturday
evening he arrived at Lochiel. Gen. Cameron
was accompanied by his family, ad of whom,
as well as hinasel., are in the Nnr, b.st health.
Ile pas-age over the Atlantic was exceedingly
pleasant, and the distinguished party reaped the
benefit of an Ocean journey at this most propi
tious season of the year.
At the depot of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Gen. Cameron was received by a few personal
friends, on Saturday evening, and at once pro
ceeded to his private residence. During yester
day he was called on by a large number of his
personal friends and neighbors, all emnlons-of
congratulating him on his safe return, and all
received with that cordial horpitality for which
the proprietor of Lochiel is so distinguished.
The mission of Gen. Cameron to Russia has
been an entire success. The bonds of friendship
between that Power and this Republic have
been increased and strengthened ; and what
ever may be the policy of the United States to
maintain their nationality and vindicate their
authority by putting down the rebellion that
has so long disturta d the peace of this country
and so severely interrupted the business and corn
merce of the world, the Federal Government
will always find in Russia an ally who cannot
be several from her alliance by the 'dots or the
blandishments of any of the courts of Europe.
The friendship which began between Russia and
this country with our emerging into position
amo,ig the nations of the world, must not and
will never be interrupted. Civilization and re
ligion alike demand its continuance and in
crease.
Gen. Cameron will, immediately after the
repose necessary to the fatigue of his journey,
go hence to Washington city, to report his re
turn officially to the President.
We repeat, fur the benefit of his many friends
throughout the country, that the health of
"len. Cameron has been greatly improved by
his distant journey, and that be comes back to
his native land, with his loyalty and his pa
triotism strengthened, and ready to be devoted
to his country's cause and service.
The feeling in Europe is described by Mr.
Cameron as strongly savoring of intervention,
and this feeling is rapidly increasing, in conse
quence of the continued inactivity of the Fed
eral arms. In England it is thought, however,
that no active intervention will take place un
til Parliament meets. The success or failure of
the present campaign will, probably, decide the
matter ; and only decided victories on our side
will dispel the idea, in his opinion.
It is generally understood in England that a
rebel naval attack on our Atlantic cities is in
preparation. Three immense iron-clad steam
rams, the most powerful ever constructed, are
building in English shipyards, and with these
it is supposed the rebels will attack our North
ern cities. They have an especial desire to
make a dash at New York, and even if the
enterprise were but partially successful, the
presence of rebel war vessels in New York har
bor, if only for a single hour, would have a
great effect abroad.
There is a Secession club in Liverpool, num
bering nearly three hundred members, who
provide funds to furnish vessels to run our
blockade. No individual member of this so
ciety is allowed to know what any other member
contributes.
The sympathy for the rebels in Europe is
daily increasing, and the delay in a Federal ad
vance is interpreted as a tacit admission of our
inability to cope with the enemy.
Mr. Cameron thinks that the fortifications of
New York should be at once attended to, and
is surprised that the danger of an attack on that
city Is not more fully appreciated here.

[Extract from a letter on the Battle Field.]
a a a a a a a a a
This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary of the war, and the only one
fought with visible design and upon military
principles. The arrangement of our corps—
the overlooking position of the commanding
General—the sending into action of the right
and the left division—the closing up of the
centre, and final success—excites bewildering
admiration, and carries the mind to the great
fields of usterlitz and Wagram, fought by
Na oleon. Of ad this have I spoken. The
heart history of such a conflict, purchased by
the life and blood of twenty thousand men,
must be found in the hospitals. War has its
glories—but it has its ten thousand &Mons
in these human tortures, that make the eye
balls ache—the heart bleed—the lips palsy,
and the brain reel. The sight is at first posi
tively unendurable. The life-blood of some
is still trickling away in silent calmness—
while the dissevered limbs and maniac brain of
others give rise to sounds God grant I may not
again witness.
But ye mothers who here seek a son—or
wives a husband—or sisters a brother—or eons
a father—know and be consoled that even here
the hand of mercy is watchful, and better care
is bestowed upon your loved ones than might
at first seem possible. It was in the hospital
where rested the gallant Hooker, that I learn
ed the history of those mythical words so often
seen and so little understood, "S. T.-1860—
X." Anything alleviating the sufferings and
saving the lives of our soldiers, is a national
blessing. I witnessed some astonishing results
from this article
It is well known the effect of burnt gunpowder
and excitement is thirst, which added to the
toss of blood in the wounded, creates the ne
cessity of a reviving stimulant. In this par
titular hospital, the physicians were allowing
their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other
wise called anal although the
wounded are most numerous here—this di
vision having opened the fight at 6 in the
morning—the men were mostly composed, and
there was very little fainting. The article acts
upon the stomach and nerves in a most
incomprehensible manner, superior to brandy,
and without subsequent stupefying reaction.
It originated in the West Indies, composed of
the celebrated Calisaya Bark, Roots, Herbs,
&c.; all preserved in St.. Croix Rum—the S. T.
—lB6O—X being a secret ingredient, not yet
revealed to the public It is prinoipally
recommended fur want of appetite, disordered
liver; intezmittent fevers, stomachic difficulties,
&c. I understand it was somewhat known in
the Southern States ptevi us to the war, and it
appears an agent of Jefferson Davis recently
applied to the proprietors for the privilege
to make it' for hospital purposes during the
war, to which they made the following reply:
Naw YORK, Jan. 16th, 1862.
Agent of, etc
Dear Sir.—ln reply to your , communication,
offering its "Fifty thousand dollars for the re
cipe and right to make the Plantation Bitters
for your hospital purposes during Gal war,"
we beg to say, your price 18 a libeial one, con
sidering it would cost us nothing to comply,
and that otherwise we can derive no revenue
from the Southern States ; but sir, our duties
to our Government and our ideas of consisten
cy would not allow us to entertain it, although
it might please us to assuage the sufferings
of your misguided followers.
We remain,
Very respectfully yours,
P. H. DRAKE & CO.
These gentleman give the history of certain
ingredients to their article for over two hun
dred years—showing that through all changes
of the medical profession and its practitioners,
strength, composure and cheerfulness have
been derived from these sources. Dr. Woods
in the Washington Hospitals informed me that
one patient was fast sinking and crazy, and had
not slept an hour for two weeks, until the
Plantation Bitters came to his knowledge,
when one day's trial gave him a nieht's rest,
and be was now fast recovering. I am sur
prised our Government has mot equalled Jeffer
son Davis in energy, and adopted this invalua
ble article , in all our hospitals. The weak
soldiers cling to it like a brother. As a lay
member, I can bear witness it is "good to
take," and affords , more energy and lite than
anything I ever tried. Success to the Planta
tion Bitten.
But I have digressed. In my next I shall
speak of , gathering in the wounded, burying
the deadi, IfICODBMIIS.

In the Name and by the Authority _
OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMMONWEALTH.
A PROCLAMATION.
Wltenees, It is a good thing to reuder thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I, ABDRILW G. CURTIN, Governot
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27th DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, be set apart by the people
of this Commonwealth, as a day of solemn Prayer
and Thanksgiving to the Almighty :—Giving
Him humble thanks that He has been gracious
ly pleased to protect our free institutions and
Government, and to keep us flora sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so that our garners are
choked with the harvest—and to louk so favor
ably on the toil o His children, that inditstry
has thriven among us and labor had its regard;
and also that He has delivered us from the
hands of our enemies—and filled our officers
and men in the field with a loyal and intrepid
spirit, and jiver' them victory—and that He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold blessim.s :
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in His
steadfast :ear and love, and to put into our
minds good desires, so that by Hie continual
help we may have a right judgment in all
things :
Aud especially praying Him to give to Chris
tian churches grace to hate the thing whjel is
evil, and to utter the teachings or truth and
righteousness, declaring openly the whole
counsel of God :
And meat heartily eutreating Him to bestow
upon our civil rulers, wisdom and earnestness
in council, and upon our military leaders, zeal
and vigor in action, that the fires of rebellion
may be quenched—that we, being armed with
His defence, may be preserved from all perils,
and that hereafter our people, living in peace
and quietness, may, from generation to genera
tion, reap the abundant fruits of His mercy,
and with joy and thankfulness praise and mag
uify His holy name.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this Twentieth day of
October, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the
Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.
