TIM CITY was full of rumors all , lay on the
subject of anticipated invasion of Pennsylvania
and the contemplated capture of the State
Capital by the rebels. The public would do
.welt to diseouutknauce all such exaggerations.
They are the result of the disappointment of
some men with recent changes in the army,
and therefore we may expect to be annoyed
with all sorts of storits, if fur no other purpose
than only to excite end alarm the timid. Let
us wait for the action of Burnside. He may
not be able to bag, bu: he certainly will beat
the rebels.
MAILS PASSING 111 SOUGH CAMP SINNONS, yes
terday, we were surprised and pleased with the
soldierly appearance which many of the com
panies of drafted men are already presenting.
Among those most efficient in drill and disci
pline, without indulging in invidious distinc
tions, we must mention two companies from
Lycoming county. The first company is or
ganized with the following officers :
Captain—W H. Gosline.
First Lieutenant—Allen G. Dudd.
Second Lieutenant—George Bubb.
These officers are volunteers, who were se
lected by the en whom they are to lead, for
tbeir peculiar fitness and experience.
Tie second company from Lycoming will be
commanded by the following officers :
Orptain— Robert A. Knox
First Lieutenant--Charles Thoulas.
Beamti Lieutenant—v. K. Lietser.
These are also efficient and capable men, and
will do good service in their position of com
mand.
Lycoming county can boast of having con
tributed two hundred as good men as now keep
step to thu cou6io of the Union in Camp Sim
mons.
AIIAIBS AT CAMP CORTIN.—Sword Presents.
non.—Capt. Hiynton, of the Ninety-third, as
well as Adjutant Boyer, of the Ninety-sixth,
have been relieved irom duty at Camp Curtin.
The former will join his regiment, and the lat
ter has been elected Lieutenant Colonel of the
Third regiment of drafted men. The camp is
now in charge of Capt. Andrews, late of Oen.
Rosecrane's division, and Adjutant Roberts,
of one of the Pennsylvania regiments—both
gentlemanly and accomplished officers.
We have already mentioned the presentation
of a sword to Capt. Boynton at C imp Curtin,
on Tuesday afternoon, and we may now add
that a similar presentation was made to Adju
tant Buyer at Biant's European Hotel, in the
evening. The sword was the gift of the offi
cers from the different regiments who came on
here to gather up recruits, and the presentation
was made the occasion of a social reunion.
Among those whO were present we noticed
Capts. Walsh and Flay, of the EigVy-fourth,
Adjutant Leidtke, Surgeons Wilson and Flays,
Capt. Sands, Lieut. Fletcher, of the One Hun
dred and First, Capt. Eider, of the Eleventh
regulars, Capt. Andrews, Lieutenants Weil and
McCully, Lieut. J. H. Steck, of the One Hun
dn d and Fifth, and quite a number of others
whose names have escaped our memory, repre
senting all arms of the service.
The presentation spec eh was made by Capt.
Andrews, and a suitable reply was made by
Adjutant Buyer, who, in the course of his re
marks, alluded to the fact that this was the
second sword presented to him, having received
_ _
one from the ladies of Potts villa, which he was
reluctantly compelled to le.cre upon the field.
He had left his sword in his quartersatSmith'e
Gap, wearing and using a blade less costly, and
in the midst of the struggle the rebels captured
quarters and sword together. He had promised
when presented with that sword, if it was esp.
tured he would also be taken. The covenant
was not kept, and therefore he would not make
a similar promise on this occasion. He would
do the hest he could. He would use this blade
on the enemy, as long as he could grasp it, and
it separated, it. would be only in fight.
The jocund song, toasts and speeches, and
the effective military songs of the " sword of
Bunker Hill," "He who wears a regimental
suit," "Viva la Compaigne," by Messrs. Walsh
and McCully, finally gave way to the tentonic
version of "Villikine end Dinah," when the
last bumper of Heidsick was drank, and the
gallant spirits parted, some of them probably to ,
aunt no more.

with the "balance of mankind."
Bungs AID Soourrr.—We notice in the list
of contributions received in this city by Quar
termaster Hale, for the use of the sick and
wounded in the hospitals, a large amount of
stores sent from the Bonezet Aid Society, Elk
county. Our friends in the far west appear to
be at work in earnest in this good cause.
THE WATER WORSE, ENGINE -HOUSE, RESERVOLR,
&c., of the city of Pittsburg have been levied
upon. The right to levy upon such property
of a municipality, deemed essential for the
safety of the lives and property of the people
of the corporation, is to be argued in the U. S.
District Court. Pittsburg is getting some repu
tation in the Courts.
WON'T P&Y Posracia.—Persons mailing letters
criut expect to find thrm "held for postage"
provided they attempt to pay postage by affix
ing United States Internal Revenue stamps.—
The Poitoffice Department will not recognize
them ; and although we consider this as an
unnecessary display of red tape, on the part of
our venerable Uncle Sam, still postmasters
must obey the orders of the Department.
.N.r11011.•••••
Tux DOMESTIC Hamm, this morning, al oun
ded with all that a man could want, and much
that many could not get—owing to the artrava
gantly high prices of produce. We really think
that the markets of this city, in quantity and
quality, and in enormous prices, exceed those
of any other in the country. This peculiarity is
becoming so marked, that some of our hotel
keepers are already compelled to seek the mar
kets of other cities adjacent, to purchase such
articles as butter, eggs and poultry. We know
this to be a fact.
AN Otrraeus.—Mr. Henry Winkel, Deputy
Marshall for Breeknock township, Lancaster
county, while engaged in serving notices upon
the drafted men in his district, was murderous
ly assaulted by several men named Smith. Two
of the young Smiths had been drafted, and the
marshal called at the place where one of them
was engaged in teaching, intending to leave a
notice. Smith warned him off and as the mar
shal was leaving fired a revolver at him. Di
rectly a brother of Smith and a father came
out of the woods when one of them fired upon
Winkle with a double barrel gun, wounding
him seriously in the calf of the leg. The mar
shal has lodged complaint against his assailants.
A MAN BumD TO DUMB TN A LIMB . KILL-
The body of an unknown man was recently
found burned to death in a lime kiln in Collins
township, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
eight miles above Pittsburg. It appears that
on Saturday morning one of the workmen em
ployed at the kiln discovered the remains of a
man in the kiln, at once gave notice thereof
and had the fire put out. The body was mostly
consumed, the legs, arms and head, having
been burnt off, leaving nothing but the crisped
and blackened remains. The skull was remov
ed, but the bone had become so soft and brittle,
from the intensity of the heat, that it fell to
pieces. It is thought the man had fallen into
the kiln during Friday night. The jury re
turned a verdict in accordance with the facts .
I=
SUITED mar Itiona.—Several unscrupulous
and rascally Jew traders of this city lately
visited the camps at Harrisburg for selling gum
and woollen blankets to the drafted soldiers.
The very f tct of these "christlese" fellows hav
ing goods in their possession was an evidence
that they were worthless, and such the soldiers
found them to be. The woollen blankets were
the meanest trash, and the "gums" were noth
ing but the worst description of oil cloth.
When the soldiers discovered the fraud they
were greatly incensed, and run the dirty fel
lows out of camp, and had it not been for the
officers, whose protection they claimed, they
would have been roughly handled. We are
almost sorry that the outraged soldiers were
not allowed to give them the punishment they
so richly deserved. These fellows are a nui
sance to society, and the only marvel is why
people will support them—Lancaster Examiner,
12th inst.
In this manner the reputation of our fair
city has been and is impaired. The soldier
and traveler are imposed upon, not by our peo
ple, merchants or traders, but by- outsiders,
who come here to rob the soldier. Whenever
the men in camp want blankets or gum over
coats, let them consult the columns of the
TuaciaLva, where they will find the advertise
ments of honest men, who are prepared to ac
commodate the soldier in a business like man-
Taa FOLLOWING Moms= Liars, while they I
are not entirely applicable to the season, are
yet appropriate in marking the change in the
weather as its atmosphere is breathed to day,
when compared with that of Saturday and Fri
day. What renders the effusion still more re
markable, is the fact that the lines were penned
by one who is now an inmate of the Insane
Asylum, that crowns one of our most magnifi
cent hills with its noble charities. We know
our readers will appreciate the effusion :
Light as love's smiles, the silvery mist at morn
Floats in loose flakes along the limpid river ;
The blue bird's notes upon the soft breeze
borne,
As high in air he carols, faintly quiver;
The weeping birch, like banner idly waving,
Bends to the stream its spray branches laving ;
Beaded with dew, the witch-elm's tassels
shiver ; •
The timid rabbit from the furs is peeping.
And from the springy spray the squirrel's gaily
leaping.
I love thee, Autumn, for thy scenery, ere
The blasts of winter chase the varied dyes
That richly deck the slow declining year ;
I love the splendor of thy sunset skies.
The gorgeous hues that tinge each falling leaf,
Lovely as beauty's cheek, as woman's love, too
brief ;
I love the note of each wild bird that flies,
As on the wind be pours his parting lay,
And wings his loitering flight to summer climes
away.
0, Nature 1 still I fondly turn to thee,
With feelings fresh as e'er my childhood's
were ;
Though wild and passion-toiss'd my youth may
be,
Toward thee I still the same devotion bear ;
Tot thee—to thee—though health and hope no
mote
Life's wasted verdure may to me restore—
I still can, childlike, come as when in prayer
I *mod my head upon a =Other's knee,
And deem 'd the world,- like her, all truth and
purity.
SWORD PRINSICNTATION AT CAMP CORTIN
Yesterday, immediately after dress pamde, a
beautiful sword, belt and sash were presen ed
to Capt. Boynton, in behalf of the citizens of
Harrisburg, as a memento of esteem ° and re
spect for his brave and noble a ts, while glo
riously leading his men to victory on the vic
torious fields of Williamsburg and Fair Oaks,
and his universal, kind, and happy Intercourse
with those whose business relations brought
them in contact with him while in command
of the post.
The sword was presented on behalf of the
doners, by Captain Sands, of the First Penn-
eylvaaia Cavalry.
Capt Boynton received the sword, and re
sponded by addressing the soldiers on the duty
they owed to his successor as commander of
Camp Curtin, and expressed 'himself pleased
with the manner in which that duty had been
discharged towards himself while In charge of

A CARD FROM ONE ON TEUDEXOLUDED LADIES.
We alluded, yesterday, to the fact, that one of
the ladies, who were excluded from camp, where
she was honestly and laboriously endeavoring
to make a living, bad written to us on the sub
ject. We declined publishing her card, unless
her name appeared with ber statement. This
morning the lady signified her assent to our
requirement, and therefore we print her card.
Tue story she tells is a hard one. It may do
for an "officer" thus to treat a poor woman,
but where we were reared and trained, men were
never guilty of such conduct:
HARRISBURG, Nov. 9, 1862.
Mr. Enron:—Having seen a piece communi
cated in last evening's paper concerning the re
moval of the stores in Camp Curtin, now
let me give you full particulars of the affair,
as lam among the number removed: A few
weeks ago my husband died, and was left with
a family tosupport. Through the gentleman
ly actions and kindness or Captain Boynton
and Adjutant Byoer, I was allowed permission
to locate a refreshment saloon inside of Camp
Curtin. Almost as soon as Capt. Lane filled
Capt. Dodge's office, he ordered the removal of
those stores, as the rumor is to replace them
by some friends of his selectiou, and thus de
prive a poor widow and a disabled soldier from
making an honest living. As soon as Captain
Lane ordered the removal of our stores, I went
to Governor Curtin and made my complaint,
when the Governor kindly gave me.a note to
carry to Captain Lane, requesting of him, if he
would allow any one to remain In it, should be
me, as I had a claim upon the government ;
when in an offended manner, Captain Lane'
took the note the Governor so kindly gave me,
and said he should see the Governor, and learn
why I had more claim on the government than I.
any one else. Is it right, Mr. Editor, that one
man should have the power to deprive eo many
poor people from making an honest living—
my only support? My son has been, and still',
is, with the Reserves tor the last eighteen
months, and in that time has been ,wounded.l
Re has not received a cent of pay for six
months, and no telling when he will, and cer- 1
tainly we must live. If the soldiers would
know how their families---mothersandsisters—
were being treated, it would be inducement ,
enough for them to desert their post. I should
never have made onrd of complaint had I
been allowed to gond make a living as I
had commenced to do for the lest couple of
weeks. My husband was the first man in
Cumberland county to sign his name to sup
port the stars and stripes. He contracted a
disease in camp, and from the effccts died ; and
now his family is to be deprived the privilege
of making a living. Is it possible, then, I ask,
this should be? Go to the hospital at camp,
and see the dissatisfaction among the poor
wounded soldiers. To think that the only
place in camp where they could
it go
has to g
b et some
thing palatable,to their appeties, een de
nied them. There is a good bit morel could say;
but let this suffice for the present. But if there
is anything more you wish to know, I am at
your service. And oblige,
MRS. MARY R.ZERBR.

improvements lately made in our city, to Which
we can point with pride as an evidence of pros
perity and as a determination on the part of
our business men, no longer to remain behind
the .` light house," is the completion of Eby
& Kunkle's large brick building at the corner
of Market and Fifth streets, which is alike
creditable to the owners and ornamental to that
part of our city.
The building is not only one of the largest,
devoted to the grocery business, outside of New
York, but the stock challenges competion.—
Without going into detail, we may safely say
that the firm keep on hand everything usually
kept ii a grocery store, (liquors excepted,) and
that they sell _ at,very small profits. Their
clerks are civil ard accommodating, and have
strict instructions under no circumstances what
ever to misrepreseni advantage 01 a

Mrs. Ball :—I feel no hesitancy in acknow
ledging the virtue of your medicine, its sooth
ing influince and healing power. For several
years I was afflictud with dyspepsia, and during
my stay Pin Harrisburg you cured me in the
short space of one month, of that annoying
and distressing disease, and at the same time
also cured me of a running scrofula, which had
existed for over one year without ceasing.—
During my years of affliction. I applied fre
quently to doctors of medicine, but they proved
ineffectual. I have the utmost eonfidence and
belief in the power of your medicine, and would

Extract from a letter on the Battle Field.)
This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary of the war, and the only one
fought with visible desig n 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.-suites bewildering
admiration, and carries the mind to the great
fields of Austerlitz and Wagram, fought by
Na oleou. Of all this halie I spoken. - The
heart history of such a conflict, purchased, by
he life and blood of twenty th usand men,
must be found in the hospitals. War has its
glories—but it bar, its ten thousand demons
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 8011-or
wives a husband—or sisters a brother—or sons
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 mythicil words so often
seen and so little understood, "S. T.-1860—
M" Anything alleviating the Suffering's and
saving the lives of our soldiers, le 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
loss of blood in the wounded, creates the ne
cessity of a reviving stimulant. In this par
clutter hospital, tbe, pbyttiOans were allowing
their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other
wise called 8. T.-1860—X, ani although the
wounded are most numerous here—this di
vision having opened the fight at 6 in the
morning—the men were mostly composed, sad
there was very little fainting. The article acts
upon the stomach and nerves in a mod
incomprehensible manner, superior to brandy,
and without subsequent stupefying reaction.
It originated in the West Indies, composed of
the celebrated Cillisaya ,
Bark, Roots, Herbs,
&c.; all preserved in St. Croix Rum—the S. T.

recommended for want of appetite, disordered

Mr.

Dear reply:to your cominunication,
offering us "Fifty thousand dollars for the re•
cipe and right to make the Plantation Bitters
for your hospital purposes during the war,"
we beg to say, your price is a !theist 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

it might please 'us to assuage the sufferings
of your misguided followers.

These gentleman give the history of certain
ingredients to their article for over two hurt
dred years—showing that through all changes
of the medical profession and its practitioners, i
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 night's rest,
and be was now fast recovering. I am ear
prised our Government has not 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 affurda more enetgy and his than
anything I ever tried. Success to the Planta
tion Bitters.
But I have digressed. In my next I shall
speak of , gathering in the wounded, burying

In the Name and by the Authority
OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMMONWEALTH.
A PROCLAMATION.
Wnzaras, It is a good thing to render thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I, ANDREW G. CURTIN, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27th DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, beset apart by the people
of thisCommonweitith, as a day of solemn Prayer
and Thanksgiving to the,Almigbty :—Giving
Him humble thanks that He has been gracious
ly pleased to protect our free 'Hai, utions and
Government,, and to keep us from sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so ihat our gainers are
choked with the harvest—and to look so favor
ably on the toil o' Hie children, that industry
has thriven among us and labor had its reward;
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 Oven them victory—and that He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold blessines :
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in His
steadfast leer and love, and to put into our
minds good desires, so that by His continual
help we may have a right judgment in all
things :
And especially praying Him to give to . ClJis
tian churches grace to hate the thing which is
evil, and to utter the teachings of truth and
righteousness, declaring optnly the whole
counsel of God :
And mist heartily entreating Him to bestow
upon our civil rulers, wisdom and earnestness
in council, and upon our military leaders, seal
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
nify 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 sod silty-two, and of the
Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.
