—lt appears that the ladies, whose efforts to

effort for the purpose of serving a Thanksgiving

A Pamearnus Ansounczmwsr.—We have been
authorized to explain that the announcement
of a dissolution of the firm of Barrett, Pomeroy

that Mcßeynolds still considers himself as one
of the partners in the control and publication
of that sheet. We know nothing of the inside
arrangements of that concern, although this at
tempt to "spirit" away a partner is one of the
jokes on Third street to-day. Mcßeynolds is
not the man to allow himself to be humbugged,
and we may therefore look for some rich devel
opments concerning the dissolution of the firm
of Barrett, Pomeroy & Mcßeynolds. We may
expect another trial of the same character
which followed the ejectment of our quondam
friend R. J. Haldeman from the same concern.

ROBBERY AT HBRR's RIMEL bold and
successful effort at robbery was made at
Herr's- Hotel last night, by which three
rooms were entered and their lodgers re
lieved of gold watches, money, &c. It is sup
posed that one of the rooms was entered from
the balcony, while the other two rooms were
unlocked, and were of course entered in the
regular way through their doors. In one of the
rooms there were three men sleeping,and strange
to write none of the lodgers were disturbed. It
is reasonable to believe, therefore, that the
thieves used chloroform, as they could not pos
sibly have proceeded in a•manner so stealthily
as to be entirely unobserved by the inmates of
the rooms, without the use of some stupefying
agent on the part of the burglars. In proof of
this, a gentleman occupying one of the rooms
was to have been wakened at three o'clock this
morning to proceed hence in the care, but in
the effort to do so, the servants were corn pella
almost to batter down the door which was
locked, and when the lodger was roused it was
with difficolty that he could throw off the stu
per which oppressed him.'
It is deemed discreet not to go into particu
lars, concerning the facts of this robbery, as
the affair is in the hands of the police, who
will leave nothing undone to unravel the cir
cumstances attending it, and if possible bring
the burglars to Justice.
The persons robbed are among the most re
spectable and distinguished men in the state.

A Homo is THI lioserrAL.—[Communicated ]
"Dreary without, but drearier within," I
thought as we picked our shape through inlet
and over mud towards Hospital No. 3, at Camp
Curtin. Excellent health and all the attrac
tions of home had failed to make us forget the .
November fogs in which we had lived and
moved during the past three days. So, no won
der we thought with tender pity of the soldier
inmates of those long rows, whose lives were a
monotony of confinement and suffering, alnd
whose cheeriest visitors (saving the ladies) were
the benevolent sunbeams which carpeted their
rude floors and painted quaint frescoes upon
their bare walls.
But, as we entered the Hospital, our admira
tion was instantly and unexpectedly challenged
by the unwonted display of taste and bearity
which greeted us. Over the back door, a flag
was festooned, whose graceful draping bid the
rough boards behind soft shadows. Around the
rods which supported the night lights, smaller
flags—little, less, least ones—were fanta,tically
twined. Above the front entrance was a wide
frame, bearing in large lettere the- sentence,
" Stick to your Odors; and surrounding it
four circles of blue stars, wearing in their re
spective centres the words, "Faith," "Char
ity," " Love," and " Hope." The materials
out of which these suggestive decorations had
been wrought, were simply bits of old cloth,
flannel and paper; and the architect, one of
their number, (the Steward I think,) whose
heart was as big and loving as his fingers were
planning and skillful.
The effect was visible in the cheerful aspect
of the invalids, and the contrast between Hos
pitals 1, 2 and 3, heightened, from the fact
that we had just left the two former, in which,
excepting a bouquet of faded flowers, there was
nothing more agreeable to teed the eyes of those
suffering men than each other's pain-marred
faces. We all know the irksomeness of con
flnement to one room, even though that room
in its tasteful furnishing be a little Paradise' of
beauty ; but to lie upon those cote, week after
week, as do so many of those brave men, pining
in vain for a breath of pure, cool air, or a sight
of the green earth ; nothing of loyalties;
around them but what their imaginatioris can
conjure, and nothing of home but its blessed
memotiee, mist , be the very,climaz of tedioas
nese. Who thaehaiseen the earnestness with
which some of them will scan a simple Illus-
tasted "Childs'.Paper; : ' their gratitude for
something to read, or their honest thankfulness
for a few fresh flowers, can'doubt but that the
finer parts of each one's nature hungers for their
native food. ,
Let ue then • emulate No. 8, and scatter a
little of life's poetry among the dull prose of a
sick soldier's everyday. Who in our city will
not lend a choice picture to animate the bare
walls of our Camp Curtin Hospitals, or basket
of living moss to lighten up eyes grown dim
with sleeplessness and suffering
Nothing that is beautiful will come amiss to
them, for the dauntless heroes of bloody battle
fields, do not dream of war and carnage, but of
home and its treasures, and those reminders
which will oftenest awaken the purest associa
tions of their lives, will be the surest proofs of
our appreciation and sympathy. N.

FM BAPTIST CIIIIRCIL—This chili* which
was organized about four months n o, we are
glad to see is entering on a career which prom
ises.to be one of pi osperity and usefulruss. By
the courtesy of the Pastor and officers of the
First Rsptist Clutch, (Rev. Mr. Wood's,) they
have hitherto held services in the house of the
latter society. But having bought the Int and
chapel of the Second Lutheran Church, (Rev.
Mr. Johnson's,) corner of Stale and Fourth
streets, we learn they will hereafter hold ser
vices iu that house alternately with Mr. John
son's congregation, Mr. J preaching on each
Sabbath morning and Thursday evening, and
Mr. Colder on Sabbath ev, ning and Wed
nesday evening. This arrangement will
continue until April, at which time Mr. Col
der's congregation will get entire possession,
-and Mr. Johnson's will remove to the lot
which they have purchased west of the Reser
voir.
We 1. are that Mr Colder's Church have de
termined to build a house of worship on the
ground now partly occupied by the chapel ; and
will 'commence the work as early in the next
season as the weather will permit Mr. Luther
Simon is preparing plans fin altouse, which we
are told promises to be.one of the neatest and
most convenient edifices in our city. The esti
mated cost of the lot and building is about
$9,000.
The congregation of which Mr. C. is pastor is
connec ed•with the Rensselaer Quarterly Meet
ing of the Free Baptist, or as it is sometimes
called Free-will Baptist Det.omination. The
peculiarities of the denomin •tion are, we be
lieve, that unlike most other B iptist Churches
in this country. They receive to the communion
table, members in good standing in any evan
gelical Church, whether they have been im
mersed or not; and reject the system of doc
trines to which Calvin's time is attached, and
hold those taught by Arminius.
There is something peculiarly ,pleasing in
the devotion and attachment with which
the congregation of, Rev. Colder have clung to
him, and , the zeal and intrepidity blended
with a proper Christian grace and decorum,
with which that' Reverend gentleman has in
variably renresentoi the interests of his con
grt gation. Rev. Colder has hail an opposition
to surmount bet' re iwhich an: ordinary man
would - hay,+ quailed in despair, but being
armed for a good fight, anti deeming nothing
too valuable to sacrifice for the pure cause In
which he is engaged, he has steadily moved
forward, until be now stands at the bead of
OM of the most respectable congregations in
the State Capital. With his talents, his energy
and his Christian zeal, he is capable of accom
plishing much good, and in his labors for that
purpose, he bee ever had the well wishes and
prayers of the good men of all denominations
in this City. -
Court Proceedings
FRIDAY MORNING--The Grabd Jury made the
following report, which.was read, after which
they were , discharged with the thanks of the
°Court:
7b the Honorable the Judge& of the Court of Quarter
Sessions of D a uphin :
The report of the Grand Jury, of the Cpunty
aforesaid, respectfully sheweth, that one hun
dred and two bills of indictment wee placed
in our hands by the District Attorney. Of
these, there were : for holding and passing
counterfeit money, 7.;. larceny, 41 ; aesault and
battery, 27 ; assault and battery with intent to
kill, 5 ; selling liquors without license, keeping
disorderly houses, &c., &c., 7 ' • fornication and
bastardy, 2 ; false pretence, 2 ; burglary, 2 ;
malicious raise:hid, 8 ; and for adultery, embez
zlement, cvmspiracy, libel, murder, and high
way robberry, each, I. Forty one of these bilk;
were ignored, because neither moseautor
witness appeared. The evidence elicited from
witnesses examined upon the other bills render
ed it clear, that whilst many of them were very
properly brought to the notice of the Court,
by the magistrates of the lavi, that neverthe-
I« sis many others should never have been re
turned. It, is difficult to say who in reality
commits the greater offence again-t the peace,
the, morals and the dignity of the community,
the outhinkbeg group of youth, who get into a
,street quarrel one day and are reconciled the
next, or the magistrate,, Who for the sake of the
paltry costs enuring to hint, will on every occa
sion "
. give law," as it is termed, to noisy row
dies or scolding neighbors, and thus assist them
' to publish, in a crowded Court rigrm;the vulgar
and blasphemous epithets which too often char
acterize the language of this class of bellige
rents. It is a matter of regret with the Grand
Jury that there is no law to compel magistrates,
iwho will persist in burdening the Court and the
County with frivolous cases, to pay all the costs
incident thereto.
Ile great influx of soldiers and strangers, for
many months past, hes brought with it a cor
responding increase of crime and disorder.
,Profeseional thieves of every description seem
to have congregated from the large cities, and
have been reaping a rich harvest. They have
shown themselves ever on the alert to entice
the unsuspecting eoldier or atranger into the
grog tihops, hones of ill fame, low theatres,
and gambling
. saloons, which disgrace our city,
and there rob of the very money which a
' patriotic people hive contributed for the sup
ply of his own or his family's w tots, while,in
his country's service. The public suffer much
from the tact, which cannot be concealed, that
while many offenders are arrested, there are
always those, whose duty i f to give their in
fluence and use their power w In ing them to
justice, who will, for a consideration, use every
means to shield the ;platy. These operations
are carried on in such a manner as to defy al
most every eff4rt that honest citizens can invent
to convict toe parties. Bribery and corruption
seem to. abound, and it certainly behooves every
good citizen, whenever babas the facte of grave
violati,,ns of the law, to make information to
the proper authorities, and to follow up the case
until the authorities are made to do their duty,
and the criminal shall reach the court of jus
tice, and receive the penalty of the law.
The stone bridge in Paxton street, over the
Paxton creek, which was partially destroyed by
high water last spring, is unsafe for travel.
The arch was broken thr ugh and all travel
suspended, until an enterprising firm in that
vicinity, at their own expense, put up a tempo
rary wooden structure on the remains of the
stone work. It has thus far answered the pur
poses of the public, but is „entirely ilmsufficient
to remain over winter, and the whole affair be
ing unsafe and dangerous demands immediate
attention.
Complaint was also made to us, that the re
building of the turnpike bridge over the Swa
tare, at Middletown, has not yet been commen
ced ; and that the work on the turnpike bridge
over the tame stream at Hurnmelstown, though
begun, is prosecuted with an insufficient porn
ber of hands.
Complainfit were laid before the present
Grand Jury very similar to those made to pre
ceding ones,, of the recklessness almost' daily
exhibited by locomotive engineers'suid brakes-
then at the various street and road crossings in
the city and vicinity. The evil has existed for
a long time, and nothing but the oath requiring
us to bring to notice all maters injurious to the
public w ,, uld lead us to report it. The travel
ing community are in truth entirely at the
mere; of these men, and scarcely a week pasaes
without a chair-breadth escape of one or more
citizens
The. trains cif. the Cumberland Valley and
Northam Central railroad compant-s enter the
city on a down grade, and often at entirely too
high a rate of speed. It is true the passenger
trains announce their arrival at the east end of
'he bridge b% the blast of a small horn, but for
all practical purposes this is useless. We can
only reiterate th 3 recommendations of former
Grand Juries, that the respective railroad corn
antes should be required o k ep flag-men
stationed at all the principal street crossings in
the city. The liberality and patriotism display
ed by all these companies during the past year,
leads us to hope that their boards of directors
will be induced to eve their attention to this
na4ter, and at once remove a grt at evil, nntirr
which the citizens of Harrisburg have long
been suffering.
For sometime past the small pox has been
prevailing in our city, and in a number of towns
through the county. Complaint has been laid
before us, that many personi who have suffered
from the disease walk about the streets, and are
f:,und in our markets and other places of public
resort, before they are sufficiently recovered
from its effects, to render the public safe from
the contagion. We think this accounts for the
rapid spread of the disease, and deem it our
duty to present this evil, that the proper author
ities may take suitable action thereon.
In the course of our investigations, we have
learned that a number of persons, charged with
crimes, who were duly arrested and confined in
prison waiting their trial, have been bailed out
and immediately sold as substitutes, in the
place of men who had been drafted to serve in
the army of the United States. We present
this to the consideration of the Honorable Court
as an evil. We think that such transactions
defeat the ends of justice, and tend to demoral
ize the army and community. It is also a great
wrong inflicted upon the honest yeomanry of
the county, who have been drafted, and who not
choosing to get substitutes, are thus compelled
to endure the companionship of men whom
there was perhaps good cause for allowing to
remain in jail.
We suggest that the forfeited recognizances
in these, as well as a number of other cases
brought to our notice, be sued out immediately.
The Commissioners of Dauphin County have
paid out for the relief of the families of citizens
cone to war, up to this time, $18,766 43. They
have burrowed for that purpose $lO,OOO, and
for the payment of bounties to volunteers the
sum of $30,000 They laid these facts before
the Grand Jury, with the request that we should
recommend, if we thought proper, the laying
of a sufficient tax to meet the interest that will
annually fall due upon thvee loans, reimburse the
tresettry for the sum already paid for relief, and
enable the Commissioners to relieve through
the winter now at hand the wants of the sol
diers' families. .
We find the total valuation of the real and
personal estate in the County, taxable at the
last triennial assessment, to have been $13,291,-
595. . We recommend that the Commissioners
of the County lay a special tax of two and a
half mills on the dollar.

[Extract from a letter on the Battle Field.]
a * a a a a a a a
This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary of the war, and the only one
knight 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 Austerlitz and Wagram, fought by
Na oleon. Of ail this have I spoken. The
heart history of such a conflict, purchased by
the life and blood of twenty th ,usand 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
balls ache—the heart bleed—the lips palsy,
and the brain reel. The sight is at first posi
tively unendurable. '1 he 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 sou—or
wives a husband—or sisters a brother— or sons
a father—know and be consoled thateven bete
the h ,nd of mercy is watchful, and better care
is bestowed upon your loved ont , s 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 übderstood, "S. T.—lB6o—
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 Si T.-1860—X, and although the
wounded are most numerous here—this di
vision having opened the fight at 5 in the
morning—the men were mostly composed, and
there was very little fainting. The article acts
upon the stomach and nerves in a moat
incomprehensible manner, superior to brandy,
and without subsequent stupefying reaction.
It originated in the West Indies, composed of
the celebrated Caßawl. Bark, Boots, Herbs,
&c.; all preserved in St. Croix Rum—the S. T .
—lB6O—K being a secret ingredient, not yet
revealed to the public It is principally
recommended fur want of appetite, disordered
liver, intetmittent fevers, stomachic difficulties,
&c. I understand it was somewhat known in
the Southern States previ us to the war, and it
appeals 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:
New YORK, Jan 16th, 1862.
Dear Sir.—ln reply to your communication,
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 liberal one, Con
ddrring 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. DBASE & 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 cheerfuith es have
been derived trent 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 nisht's rest,
and he was now fast recovering. I am Kur
ptieed our Goveinment has not equalled Jeffer
son Davis in energy, and adopted this invalua
ble article in all our hospital,. The weak
soldkrs cling to it like a brother. As a lay
member, I can bear witness it ia ' "good to
take," and affords more energy and lite than
anything I ever tried. Success to the Planta
tion Bittefs.
But I have digressed. In my next I shall
speak of gathering in the wounded, burying
the dead, &o. NICODEMUS.

A PROCLAMATION
WEBRILSB, It is:: good thing t render thanks
unto God for all the mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I , ANDHSW G. Cuwrus, Governor
of the Commonwealth or Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27 h DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, beset apart by the people
of this Common weal th, 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 instil talons and
Government, ai d o keep us from sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so 'hat uur earners are
choked with the harvest—and to look so favor
ably on the toil o His 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 > iven them victory—and !hat He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold bleesing :- -
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in His
steadfast ear and love, arid to put into our
minds good desires, so that by His continual
help we way have a right judgment in all
things :
And espe praying Him to give to CI ris-
tian churches grace to hate the thing which is
evil, and to utter the teachings of truth and
righteousness, declaring openly the whole
counsel of Gud :
And m at heartily entreating Him to htst.,w
upor. cur civil rulers, wisdom and varnestntsa
in council, and upon our military leaders, zeal
and vig r in action. that the fires of rebellion
may be quenched—that we, being armed with
His defence, may be prt served from all
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 and elxty-tw t, and of the
