TIM PATRIOT claims that nearly all the soldiers
now in camp in ibis city are Democrats. :This
may be so, because they are also nearly all

Rev. C. ozoio 'firt.t., of Bellefonte, preached
in the Epise.optil Church on Sabbath morning

eloquent clergymen now iu the pulpit, andper

sect. His scholehtic attainments, added to a
strong intellect and the experience of ext-nsive

Da. Harrow, of the firm of Drs. Chamberlain,
Hutton & Co., (celebrated Etubalniers, of *A.

What with tie med, boisteroui and . pr Pane

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.

GRIM./ COUNTY ITEl.O3.—Ola the 31st alt., Mr.

in springing from the wagon, broke hiR leg
entirely off,. at or near the ankle joint, the, bone

pain and suffering were mcst intense,from which

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

Keenan carried, anekvaieb cost a worthy young
man his life, was the ,very emblem of rasessi
nation. The dirk is made to killto murder
with. The maker so intended it to be used, and
the purchaser obtains ir, for no other purpose. In
hand to hand encountstrs it is the most deadly
of all'ereapons—and •in a court , of justice a
bloody dagger points ly to the gallown
The constant carry' gof the pistol—which,
compared with the k e, is a manly weapon=
too often leads young n into difficulty, and
has cost many an one it the pistol
is used by the good and upright einem, under
certain circumstances, to defend himself aininst,
the rowdy, the robber and the burglar ; while"
the murderous knife is generally found with the
coward, and accompanies him- to the tavern,
the gambling room and the :brothel, ready to
be used upon the slightest provocation, against
either friend or foe. 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

[Extract from a letter on the Battle Field.]
e S c‘oooo'.oo.
•
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 successexcites bewildering
admiration, and carries the mind to the great
fields of Austerlitz and Wagram, fought by
.Na. oleon.: Of all • 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 demons
in these human tortures, that make the eye
ball& ache—the :heart bleed—the lips palsy,
, altd the brain reel.: The sight is at first posi
tively unendurable.. The life-blood of some
is still trickling away in eilent calmness—
whiletthe ditseVenxidimbet 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 hitsband---er sisters a brother—or sous
a father—know and be consoled that even. here

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 pructitioners,
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 days trial gave him a nieht's rest,
and infwas now fast recovering. I am sttr
prisedtur Hi:merriment has not equalled Jeffer
son Davis inlnergy, and adopted this invalua
ble qticre , int 'all our hospitals. The weak
soldiers cling to it like a brother. As, a lay
member, I can,. friar, witness it. is "good to
take," and affords more energy and life, than
anything I ever tried. Success to the riEinta
tion Bitters.
But I have digressed. In my, next I shall
speak of% gathering in the wounded, burying
the deadUc. NICODEMUS.
