LIEUT. COL. W. W. HAMMIIRSLY, Of the 128th

arm continues to be as painful and dangerous
as ever, and it is even supposed that he will
only find relief by amputation.
FRI MrDBHIP STEAM FIRE ENGINC—The members
of the Friendship Steam Fire Engine Co. will
meet at the Engine House, on Thursday morning
next, at '7,1. o'clock, for the purpose of trying
and testing their apparatus. k full turn ()ant the
members IQ requested, as it is important that
the engine should be thoroughly tested, so that
in case of any defect, the "machine" may be
put in order.
I=l
Few, AOCIIDINT —An accident, which resulted
fatally, moan EU on saturday last, in Strasburg,
Lancaster county, to a eon of Dr. Strewn of
that borough. The boy Was about thirteen
years of age, and was'in the habit of riding on
the cars; whenever he could do so unobserved:
He got on the train ou Saturday morning, and
when be jumped off he fell under the cars,
which passed over him, almost severing one of
his legs and badly crushing the other. He died
from the effects of the injuries on Saturday
afternoon.
OFFICERS NOT TO HAY® PASSIM—One of the
causes which contributed to the congregation
of so many officers in this vicinity, absent from
their commands, and idling their time at the
expense of the government, was the fact that
officers were not required b provide themselves
with passes. An officer was at perfect liberty,
to run loose in Harrisburg, regardless whether
ho had a command in Camp Curtin or on the
Potomac, and the Provost Guard could not
challenge him. We do not know whether this
has lately been changed. It was the case a few
days since, as officers have boasted to us of the
fact.
Tnz Lrerrs Gnus in some of our neighbor
log cities are holding fairs for the benefit of
the soldiers' hospitals, which are made to yield
very profitably, and which have already contri
buted largely to the comfort of the soldier.
In Philadelphia, recently, five little girls dur
ing five days of a fair, realized $250 for the
benefit of the hospitals. Why should not
Harrisburg add this noble work to the other
good which has been accomplished in this city
for the soldiers. We have the little girls here.
Every day we see them hurrying to and from
school, as good, we trust, as they are beautiful.
Who will attempt, among the little girls, to
organize a fair for the benefit of the hospitals ?
We will do our share in advertising the enter
prise in this department, as soon as some of the
little girls make a movement for the purpose
we suggest.
HOLMAN PIMPARATIONS. —The store windows
already afford unerring indications of the near
approach of the holiday season. The re
tail establishments upon our principal thor
oughfares, make a splendid display of fancy
dry goods, books, silver ware, gems, china
glass, Parian, &c., and persons of abundant
means need experience no difficulty in selecting
elegant and costly trifles to bestow upon their
friends. The toy stores are particularly afflu
ent in the way of gimcracks, the present season.
Young America would scorn the rigid "jinted
dolls," the shilling muskets, and the tow
tailed and maned wooden steeds which delight
ed his or her grandparents, when they were at
the toy-appreciating age. The dainty taste of
the little Miss of 1862 can be pleasured with
nothing less than a waxen effigy, provided with
flaxen ringlets and moveable eyes, resplendent
in silks and velvets, and with its baby house fur
nished in the higheFt style of upholstering art.
The young gentlemen will put up with nothing
short of tented fields, with all the mimic ma
chinery of war, well stocked menageries, or
some other toy extravagances, that was never
thought of in the wildest Christmas dreatii of
the boy of forty years ago. The world mori;
and Young America keeps pace 'with It even in
respect to his playthings.
BANTING.—The meal rise in the river has
put our Susquehanna lumbermen in motion.
This morning a large and valuable raft passed
this city to the market below, the forerunner of
a number of others which are awaiting an op
portunity to pass down.
A Haruusumroza COMPLINUTID.—Among the
officers recommended for promotion for gallant
service at Pocotaligo, we notice that First Lieut.
W. W. Geety, (severely wonnded,) command
ing Company H, Forty seventh Regiment Penn
sylvania Volunteers, is among the number. He
earned his promotion, certainly, by hie gallantry
and his daring.
DIPTREBIA.—This dreaded and fatal disease
is now prevailing to a considerable extent in
various parts of the country. In Fishing Creek
Valley it has been unusually fatal. Three
children died out of the family of one man,
Mr. Eiders, in the course of a week, and several
persons of mature age have fallen victims to
its ravages.

SHOCKING RAILROAD AoamENT.— An accident
of a very distressing nature occurred on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad on Saturday. It
appears that a train of six coal cars, belonging
to Dickson, Stewart & Co., was being backed
up to the pit, and had got as far as Lockhart
& Frew's coal oil works, on Negley's Run, when
the foremost car came in collision with some
empty barrels lying close by the track. The
tran was thrown off, and one of the brakesmen,
named 3. Liectenthall, so badly Injured that
he died on the spot. The poor fellow was
standing at his poet at the time, and in the
crash which followed the cars running off had
his entrails torn out, and his body bruised and
mutilated in a shocking manner. Coroner

the body of deceased. A number of witnesses
were examined, whose testimony went to show
that the accident was produce 4 by the barrels
of Lockhart & Frew, which had been incau

this effect was therefore rendered. Deceased
was about twenty-four years of age, and resided
in Spring alley. He leaves a wife and two
small children to mourn his untimely end.

A WORD FOR THI CARSIIII3 01 TOR Tulsa Ann.
- 2 -Some of onr Carriers have lately appealed to
us, that we in turn appeal to the patrons of the

plain that a number of the subscribers to the

d'ue, a One Dollar Art*. In reason and common
sense, this is not fair. The subscriber can
easier provide himself with six or twenty-five
cents, than the carrier can with seventy-five or
ninety-four mute. A moment's reflection will
convince any reasonable man of the injustice of
Liking the Carrier to make, 'such change.—
Wh'en a dollar bill is offered the Carrier, the

letter received in this city yesterday, from Beau
fort, S. C., we learn that Corporal WM. Boone,
co. G, 65th Pa. regiment, died from the effects of
wounds received in the fight at McKay's Point,
South Carolina. Corporal Boone was a good
soldier and a young man of sterling qualities.
Tan WINTZII. CuePs.—Although the late
drouth interfered to some extent with the sow
ing of winter grain, and some was sown very late
in the season, the crops since the recent rains
look unusually fresh and beautiful. In many
places the ground is entirely covered, and the
prospect for an abundant harvest, under the
continued smiles of Providence, were never
more flattering.

SMALL Pox—A Dislresaml Family During the
past few weeks the small pox has been raging
toe considerable extent in the country, and
several persons have died with it. The family
of Mr. Andrew Kamerer have all been afflicted
with this dreadful disease except the youngest
son, who has thus far escaped. Mr. Kamerer
himself has fallen a victim to the disease, but
his family are all new recovering, and will
probably soon be restored to perfect health.
One or two other families in the neighborhood
have taken the disease, but there have as yet
been only one or two cases in each.
Qom a large number of disabled soldiers
have of late been turned over to the govern
ment, by policemen of the northern cities as•
deserters. A closer Inquiry has disclosed that
the policemen are in the habit of arresting
these discharged soldiers, tearing up their dis
charges, and remanding them, into the,custody
of the United States authorities. In many
instances they have deprived soldiers "on leave"
of their passes, and then bad them arrested.
The only motive that prompts these outrages
is the pecuniary reward of five dollars which
the government pays for each deserter arrested.
The military authorities, we understand, have
taken this matter in hand, and are determined
to root out the evil.
WASHINGTON COMITY.—On Saturday morning
last, while Mr. David Gray, cued the carpen
ters engaged on the building of David Wilson,
Esq., in Washington borough, was ascending
the gangway with a piece of timber on his
shoulder, the end of it struck the wall, and
throwing him off his balance, precipitated him
down into the building some eight or ten feet,
bruising him very seriously and inflicting a se
-yore-cut -upon his head.
On Saturday night bud, the hone of Mr.
Henry Myers, of Somerset township,,was bur
glariously entered, and twelve hundred dollars
abstracted therefrom. No doubt the villain
or villains were well acquainted with the
premises, for before commencing their work,
they killed the - dog of Mr. Myers, proceeded to
the door, broke the lock with a stone, entered
the dwelling and stole the above amount of
money.

SKETCH. —We knew John Lindsey in our
boyhood days. His family at that time lived
in McClaysburg, now State street in the city of
Harrisburg. John was known throughout the
neighborhood as a boy of strict integrity, and
had the best wishes of all who knew him.
His mother, the only parent living, was poor,
and supported herself and son by washing.
Years fled on—the boy became a man and
married. The same upright conduct that
characterized the boy continued in his man
hood, and to-day we find him surrounded by
wealth and all the luxury that money can ob
tain ; but better far to him than money, is the
proud consciousness of having ministered to
that mother's comfort and happiness in the
evening of her life, and within the last three
years his whole family have been purchasing
their dry goods at the cheap store of TTrich &
Bowman. n242t

The undersigned would respectfully inform
those who are afflicted with Rheumatism, Dys
pepsia, Consumption of Liver and Sidney,
Coughs, Fevers, and all diseases arising from
impurity of the blood, that she is prepared to
furnish Mrs. Westhoven's German Vegetable
Medicines at very moderate rates. I have also
on band a quantity of invaluable Salves for
Sore Eyes, Frozen Feet and Piles. References
can be furnished as to their wonderful efficacy,
whenever called upon. There need be no ap
prehension in regard to my competency to ad
minister it, as I have bad it on hand for the
past six years. As they are now sold at reduced
prices, no family should be without them over
night. They can be had at any time at my
residence, in Pine street, between Second and
Front. (aul3-dlm) MRS. L. BALL.
PICLIAMILPHIA, Nov. 3, 1862.
Hrs. Bail :—I feel no hesitancy in acknow
ledging the virtue of your medicine, its sooth
ing influence and healing power. For several
years I was afflicted with dyspepsia, and during
my stay in Harrisburg you cured me in the
short space of one month, of that annoying
and distressing disease, and at the same time
also cared 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 confidence and
belief in the power of your medicine, and would
iv to those afflicted, who wish to enjoy life in
its natural element, with a ssystem renewed to
vigorous nature, to try your medicine as I did.

IMPORTANT CERTIFICATE.
"Rocrutsrmt, December 28th, 1861.
Messrs. P. H. DRAlDL—Gentlemen :—I have
suffered terribly with Dyspepsia , for three or
four years, and tried many remedies without
effect. I had to abandon my profession, and
suffered greatly from everything I ate. I have
now tried the Plantation Bitters—they helped
me—l continued their use, and am now nearly
a well man. I know of several similar cases.
Respectfully yours, Rev. J. S CATHORN."

Intelligent persons and physicians can judge
of the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from
the following partial formula.
CASCARILLA BARB
Was known and used in Germany for Dyspep
sia, Chronic Diarrlicea, Cholic,. Dysentery, and
diseases of the Stomach and Bowels, as early as
1690.
For Inflammations of the Loins and Spleen in
Dropsical Affections and Bi liary Secretions, or
Obstructions of the Abdominal Viscera. •
CALISAYA, OR KING'S BARK,
Was unknown to civilization until the middle
of the 17th century. Humboldt makes favora
ble mention of the febrifuge qualities of this
article as an Antidote to Fever and Ague, In
termittent and.llltdtulous Fevers,, in his exten
sive South American travels. The Countess
wife of the Viceroy of Peru, having experienced
the beneficial effects of this Bark, sent it to
Europe in 1640. It was sold by the Jesuits for
the enormous sum of its own weight in silver, and
was thus called Jesurrs' POWDRR. In 1658, Sir
John Talbot employed it with great success in
France, in the treatment of Fever and Ague,
Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections, LOSS of Appetite,
Weakness and Debility, Palpitation of the
Heart, Diarrhoea, &c., under the name of Eng
lish Powders ; and in 1679, he sold the secret
of its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was di
vulged. It is now a standard remedy in all
Pharmacopoeia, and is employed in preparing
the Plantation Bitters.

Another Ingredient of remarkable and won
derful virtue used in the preparation of these
Bitters, is a native of Brazil, and as yet un
known to the commerce of the world. A Span

* * a * 0 " administered with St.
Croix Brim, never fails to relieve nervous tre
mor, wakefulness, disturbed sleep, &c., and that
it is used with great effect by the Brazilians,
Spanish and Peruvian Ladies to heighten their
color and beauty. It imparts cheerfulness to
the disposition, vigor to the appetite, and bril
liancy to the complexion."
We withhold its name from the public for the
present.
To the above are added Clove Buds, Orange,
Carraway,"Coriander, Snake Boot, &c., all pre

The tonic properties of St. Croix Rum, and
its powerful invigorating effects, have been long
known to the physicians of the world.
Bilious, Intermittent and Chill Fevers, en
gendered by the change of water and diet of
travelers, particularly upon western rivers, are
prevented and cured by the Plantation Bitters.
They are also reliable to prevent sea sickness.

" Eimualso Fawn.—Wilt thou send me
another dozen of thy Bitters ? Nothing has
proven so beneficial to my invalid wife or my
self, as the Plantation Bitters.
Thy friend, lasso HOWLUSID."

In the Name and by the Authority
OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMMONWEALTH,
A PROCLAMATION.
• Wammas, It is a good thing to render thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I, ANDREW G. Cullum . , Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 271 h 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 from sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so that our garners are
choked with the harvest—and to look so favor
ably on the toil of 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 given them victory—and that He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold blessings :
Beseeching Him to help and govern ne in His
steadfast tear 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 Chris
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 God
And most heartily entreating 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
Hia 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 haqd 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.
A. G. CURTIN.
Br THE GOVERNOR.
