CAMP PHILADBLPARAL—Affuire at this oamp remain pretty much in sealu quo. There have been no accessions with the exception of two companies from Wayne 'county, which have or ganized by the election of Captains George Hub bell and IL Stevens. _One of these companies 4 has been mustered In and the other will be sworn to-day. The.men -from Carbon county have been incorporated into the companies from Pike. A-regiment, under command of. Colonel Nyce, formerly'of -the Fourth Pennsylvania Re serves, has been formed of eight companies from Bucks county anti two from Northampton. They appe , red yesterday on dress parade, when the regulations of the camp were read, prohit- Mug irt.ffiwr or soldier leaving withbut a pass. Seven companies from Lehigh, and three from Monroe, have organized as a riegi meat, the Colonel of which has not yet been appointed. A regiment is forming of the Men from Chester ; and also one from those of Mont gomery. It 113 expected that one of the Bricks county companies will leave shortly to garrison Fort Ellsworth. The dissatisfaction ,of the drafted men in Camp Curtin, at the prospect of being sent to reinforce the old regiments, was shared equally by those at Camp Philadelphia, but thisiffi culty having been removed, there appear no further discontent. UNMANLY OUTBAGES.—The Wotan Destruction of Property by the Men at °snips Curtin and Mc'Clel lan.—We alluded some days since .to the fact that one of our farmers had actually shot a! sol dier who was engaged in the wanton destruc tion of his property, and we then hoped that the warning thus given Would hale the effect of deterring others from similar destruction. In this, however, we have been mistaken. Ac counts from the neighborhood of both encamp ments continue to reach us, detailing act's of Unprovoked assault and carrying off of proitrty at once dangerous to the farmers of the vicinity and disgraceful to all connected with the camps,. In the neigliboroood of Camp Curtin, the fences of the farmers, with those inclosing the stock yards of the. Pennsylvarda railroad, have been torn down, carried offend consumed as fuel in the camp. There is no necessity for this destruction, because the government fur nishes the camps with fuel. Our farmers can not stand these losses. They have, all given freely and liberally to promote the comfort and ensure the contentment of the soldier, and therefore they should be protected from this vandalism by those in charge of the camps, or they may be driven to their own pr.,tection. In the vicinity of Camp McClellan, as we learn from the most respectable men, the acts and the thefts of the soldiers have been most dis graceful. Turkeys, chickens, fruit, fences and other moVeable property disappear every night, and if protests are offered to those thus guilty, blows and death are threatened in return. Cer tainly such a state of affairs cannot continue without serious encounters between the people and the troops. If the law does not protect a man's property, and'if those in charge of these camps cannot stay the lawlessness and depredations of those under their .., 4nd, the people will be reluctantly corriPelleil pro tect themselves. pettneg GRIM./ COUNTY ITEl.O3.—Ola the 31st alt., Mr. Henry Davis of Green township, met with a terrible, accident which resulted in his death. It appears that whilst he and his son were driving a span of horses, the horses became frightened or otherwise unmanage ibis, and Mr. Davis, being an elderly and Very heavy man, in springing from the wagon, broke hiR leg entirely off,. at or near the ankle joint, the, bone protruding and penetrating the ground. Hie pain and suffering were mcst intense,from which he was finally relieved by death. A man by the name of Jacob Elseminger, of Franklin Township, hung himself on Friday evening, 7th inst. IRPORTANT TO B.OHOOL TRAOHRRS —We notice by the November issue of the Pennsylvania School Journal, th at Superintendent Burro wes has taken an important and a highly justifiable step in regard to the Tie htiof school teachers. 'This was made necessary by the fact that certain di rectors have been exacting twenty two or even twenty-four days from their teachers as the school month. , Where this is done, of course do time is affcirded fOr the self-imProveinent of the teachers by the association and influence of the District Institutes. Some of the directors, it is also alleged, go so far as to insist on open ing the schools on Saturday, which is a practi cal ignoring of the law in regard to District In stitutes. Secretary Burrower requests all County Superintendents to notify his Depart ment where the school time is thus insisted upon, and where also the District Institutes are thereby neglected. If the teacher is not afford ed time to improve his own mind, he cannot be expected to improve the minds of those placed in his charge. To use a homely comparison, the journeyman who works with edged tools might as well be debarred of the time to keep those tools in order, and then expected to do good work, as the school teacher could be ex pected to be successful, without the aid and improvement derived from his District Insti tute. —We trust that no County Superintendent will fail to amply with the order referred to. Owe Posta° Souocus.—We and ed some: ime since to the fact that the continued occupation of some of the school houses in this city as hos pitals for wounded soldiers, was the source of great inconvenience, delay and actual injury to a large class of pupils. Since then the matter has been brought before the School Department, by the following interrogatory : • Several of the common school buildings of Harrisburg are already occupied as hospitals for the wounded soldiers otitis Union army, and tho children excluded: It is now proposed to take others of theniespecially that of the Female High School , in the north ward, for the same purpose. Can this be done f —Direetar of Harrisburg /Astrid. To this Superintendent Borrower replies through the columns of the School Journal that,, of course it can, if the proper military authori- ties so determine. But if the suffering soldiers can be as well accommodated in other places or in other suitable buildings in the city , the youth of the place should not be deprived of their ordinary and necessary means of instruction. Harrisburg has done its mil share in this respect, and thrre are other cities and towns ready to aid in this noble duty. There are probably also other buildings in the city procurable for this purpose. While this is the awe, the pioper authorities should endeavor to make ant h ar rangements as will prevent the closure of the schools. If nothing else will do, the city authorities and the school directors should exert themselves, by erecting temporary or renting unoccupied Windings, to keep; the schools in operation and the children out of the streets. CONGICALED Dwmv WEAPONS. —The habit of carrying daggers and pistols, as it prevails among the young men of this day, hs4 au un fortunate culmination in the city of Pittsburg some months since. One Thomas B. Beim= assassinated John A. Obey. Both were young men, and now we have the fact of the covia.' rytntion of Keenan, by a jury of his count en on a charge of murder in the first degree. 'The Pittsburg Gazette thus descants on the assassin ation and the trial: The evidence went to show that Keenan land Obey were entire strangers, and hence it I was not even hinted that there had been! any , previous grudge existing between them. Kee nan was, so far as the testimony developed his character, an industrious, honest mechanic, and in this respect he was the equal of Obey. But the testimony proved more. It establish ed the fact that Keenan carried the dagger of the assassin. Obey had no weapon, but relied for protection upon his good behavior and phy sical courage. Keenan, excited with liquor, was quick for a quarrel, and conscious of his ability to overcome the most powerful man— having the dagger to rely upon in case his courage sailed him. The question will suggest itself, "Why did Keenan arm himself with such a weapon f" The fourth of July had passed, and the fifth, being liaturday, he was in the city, with friends, enjoying himself as his inclination suggested. What need had he of a daggq/4 Hundreds of young men, who are never :',7‘. - 1. ipe dirk, the bowie knife, or some such'7.4 o , lwast - o fy pause and ask them selves in this ql7-chleiw The instrument which Keenan carried, anekvaieb cost a worthy young man his life, was the ,very emblem of rasessi nation.

It was said by counsel, and we verily believe it, that if Keenan had killed Obey with a common pocket knife, he could not have been convicted of murder in the firstdegrde. The jury, in thatease, might have inferred that'there was no specific intent to take life, and this would have reduced the grade of drime, and saved the life of the prisoner. The terrible inetrurnent which he used, however, would satisfy , the mind .of any juror that the intention was to kill. There is .no escaping from this conclusion, unless we ignore the fact that the intentions o f men are proved by . their actions. Then we. woUld caution every oung 4 man, who has respect for himself, a who 3 values ,• his,roputotion• 6,nd his manhood, dis ,rand the dagger ? , It is n,§erpent in the,,bosom,. which may turn upon him and inflict the fetal sting at any moment.
