OWEN SYPHERD. Tam SEA .or Icz.— The very disagreeable state of the weather did not prevent the peo ple from going to the Theatre last night, and the large hall was crowded.

As there will doubtless be a great crowd present, those who intend to take ladies should secure reserved seats at Bann vart's Drug Store. I=== PROMOTION OF A GALLANT YOUNG HARRIS- Brum SOLDIER.--We have just beard of the promotion of a gallant young soldier, a native of this city, in whose career we have always felt a lively interest—Simon Snyder—the youngest son of Charles A. Snyder, Esq., of this eity. Simon enlisted before he was sev enteen years old--was in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, and distinguished him self in the highest degree, winning alike the applause of his companions-in -arms. and the confidence of his superiors. He has been made a captain in the 108th IT. S. Infantry, receiving his promotion direct from the ranks. We congratulate Captain Snyder, and feel confident that he will some day earn and re ceive a star on his shoulder. THE GALLANTRY 01' A HARRISBURG CAVALRY mAw.—We have just read a letter from the Army of the Shenandoah, in which reference is made to the gallant action of a Harrisburg soldier, attached to a New Jersey regiment— Sergeant Benton H. Zerbe. In one of the splendid cavalry charges recently made by the gallant Sheridan, Sergtl Zerbe cut down a rebel standard-bearer, and captured the rebel colors, within sight and resistance of a whole regiment. Gen. Sheridan pronounced the act one of the bravest he ever beheld, and con gratulated the young soldier for his gallantry. We believe that young Zerbe has many friends and relatives in this vicinity, all of whom will be proud to hear of his daring deed. Although he is attached to a New Jersey regiment, Pennsylvania claims him as one of her own brave sons, and, at the proper time, will do m hithe honor he deserves. WHAT WE Dzcmc.—Upon several occasions our citizens have been horrified with the ru mor that unclean substances had been thrown into the reservoir, from which they drew their daily supply of water for drinking and other purposes. To •such an extent did these ru mors prejudice some of our citizens against the river water, that they commenced a run upon the few remaining pumps, from which even yetmve have no doubt, the more fastidi ous continue to derive their daily supply of the pure element in preference to that ob tained from the reservoir. Although, in each case, these rumors were found to be fallacious, yet even those who were the most confident of the result, qould not help but experience a feeling of relief when the fact was incontesti bly proved by draining the reservoir and sub mitting it to a thorough examination. As shocking as some of these rumors were, we doubt very much, even had they proved correct, if they could have impaired the purity of the water as much as it is now daily un dergoing by a very different process. From observation made by our reporter, the fact is „clearly established that soldiers and strangers are resorting to the very mouth of the pipe through which the waters flow to supply the the pumps for filling the basin, to wash their filthy linen and cleanse their dirty wardrobes. The reader, almost any morning or evening, by resorting to the river bank in the vicinity of the water-house, will have an opportunity of observing the corroboration of our state ment. The people in that vicinity are morn ing and evening witnesses of these daring out rages, while we have frequently seen, in passing along Front street, soldiers engaged mwashing their clothes and cleansing their Persons in the very current of the stream that flows into the water-house. We have called attention to this nuisance heretofore, and unless the proper officers - soon see to its abatement, we will be constrained to complain of still another nuisance engendered by their neglect. LIEUT. Rani 8. W/NSILES. —The Fall e a Christian Soldier, a True Man and a Patriot.— We fulfil a mournful duty, in referring again to the death of John R. Winters, who, as is well known, perished while nobly seeking the suppression of a wicked conspiracy for the destruction of the free government and free homes of the American people. The memory of such men belongs to the nation. Their deeds will become the richest heir-loom of the generations that are to follow in our path-- deeds which will constitute the theme of the poet and the subject of the painter, when these, in that peaceful era which is reserved for the nation, achieve their triumphs and lay them at the feet of a mighty and a free people. Lieut. John R. Winters was a native of Lebanon county, born on the 27th of May, 1837—and ,when he fell beneath the flag of his country, only 27 years of age. His early years were passed in agricultural pursuits, a vo cation which became his settled business, and in which he was regarded as highly successful. He left Lebanon county to tale charge of the farm connected with the State Lunatic Hospi tal. While living in this vicinity, Lieut. Winters was baptized and received into Rev. James Col der's church (First Free Baptist) in January, 1861. His Christian walk and conversation were at once such as evinced the sincerity of his piety and the purity of his feeling. To him, duty was action—the action which pro. duced fruits at once beneficial to himself and those with whom he was associated. Thus he won at once the confidence and the affection of all with whom he came in contact. The military career of our hero commencgd before he was regularly connected withythe army—proving by this that his patriotism did not need the force of a muster-in oath to teach him his duty as a defender of his country when traitors clutched it by the throat.— He participated in the battles of Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, as a citizen. - Being present when those conflicts were raging, he did not stand merely as an idle observer of the strug gles of his countrymen, but plunging into the thickest of the fight, he seized the weapon of a fallen brave, and bore himself like a true man, winning thereby the applause of the ;sol diers who witnessed his deeds of daring, :and the admiration of the officers in corn= tnd who beheld his noble conduct. In September, 1862, John R. Winters en listed in company E, Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was at once made Quartermaster Sergeant of that regiment.. In the spring of 1863, he was promoted to a Second Lieute ri antcy, for gallant action in the field before the enemy, and for the cultivation of true soldierly qualities wherever his duty led him." From tits day of his commission to the hour of his death, Lieut. Winters rode from danger to danger, literally wooing death at the point of the sword and the muzzle of the cannon. His regiment nor his company participated in no single battle in which he did not take a prominent part. He never was in the hospital a single day—he neither sought or desired furloughs from duty, but remained at his post, ever faithful and ever ready, until, surrounded by overwhelming numbers, he fell pierced through the neck by the shot of a traitor. The manner of his death can be briefly stated. He was present at the opening of the great cavalry fight in the Shenandoah Valley, on the morning of Oct. 9th, commencing at Stras burg, Va., lasting all that memorable day and extending to New Market, a distance of twenty six miles. That encounter was one of the most arful of the war. It flashed like a thuedar bolt in the path of both armies.-- Neither party had time to arrange either a plan of defence or attack; and it - soon became one of those fearful struggles in which the personal bravery, prowess and endurance of the troops, and not the skill or handling of the commanders, were to decide the issue and win the victory. Fury and death howled and screamed in a banquet of blood—and at that fearful feast Lieutenant Winters . raged like a chafed lion. He was among the first in saddle, rallying only a few of his command, to meet the first shock of the onset. In an instant, almost, he and others succeeded in coming up with the flying foe, and then fear lessly riding into the very midst of them, cora, menced a hand to hand contest. And there he perished—there he fell, before he could realize that it was to undaunted bravery such as his, that the Army of the Shenandoah Valley owed its rescue from annihilation! We cannot write of Lieut. Winters as of an ordinary soldier. He had those strong points of character—those well defined attributes of moral integrity and_personal sensitiveness of wrong, which are only found in men of the purest inifuld. Those who knew him inti mately well remember the ardor with which he entered the army; an ardor, not for mar tial fame or glory, but rather the ardor which aims at results of the highest good for his country That country was his idol and his boast. He loved it as the true man loves his honor--he was wedded to it, and cherislerd it as a bride all fair and beautiful and p are! Soldier never fought inspired by nobler mo tives. He wanted no man's blood—yet when his country was menaced, he' regarded no man's life worth the sparing who was his c oun try's foe. Men who spring to battle inspired by such feeling, are invincible, and iihen they at last fall beneath the fierce heat of the contest, their memories, like their souls, be come immortal. The blows which they strike on earth for the right, are heard in and echoed back by the blessing of Heaven! They are the agents of the Great Arbiter of When they cease to live and battle h ere, they go hence where battle is riot resumed „to enjoyed a flooding glory of victory in. that other world where peace is eternal! None of the gallant young men who left Harrisburg, to engage in the fight for the Government, and who perished in the strug gle, will be more sincerely regretted an d gratefully remembered, than Lieut. Winters . He has left a venerable mother to mourn his death—the friends and associates of his youth and young manhood will often recur to the recollection of his fall with a painful regret for his loss—while there will be still another grief for the dead warrior, such as th'e world cannot assuage, and which will find its solace: only in a heart with the memory of his' first, fresh love. May the image of this love he to her, as was that of the Roman maiden's dead lover, as she followed his funeral train through the streets. of mighty Rome, the seal which bound 'her to her country, and made her indeed its bride. Here let the hero rest ! For him the shrill trumpet which summons to the furious charge will blow its blast in vain. He has fought his last battle—he has gone to glory! Why then should we mourn his loss, lamenting tha the has gone. BUSINESS ITEMS.

COMPANY, chartered by an act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, oilers for sale choice lots for dwellings and business purposes in the above new towns on the line of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad. RENOVO has been selected as the site for the exten sive shops for building and repairing the rolling stock of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, of which the Penna. Railroad Company are now lessees. It is 92 miles west of Sunbury, and 190 miles east of Erie. The town is beau tifully situated on the margin of the west branch of the Susquehanna river, in the county of Clinton, and is sur rounded by romantic and attractive scenery. The Rail road Company are erecting an immense Locomotive Round House, Repair Shops for Ctirs and Engines,' Car Building shop, Iron and Brass Furnaces, and Dwellings for the Superintendent and other officers. A splendid Hotel, with which are connected arrangements for feeding passengers on the most extensive scale, has been com menced. All these buildings are of the most permanent and substantial character, of brick and iron, and are in accordance with theiminense business anticipated on the completion of this great Railroad, se long anxiously looked for, and now an accomplished fact—the last rail connecting the Susquehanna river with Lake Erie having been laid on Saturday, July 2d, 1864: A Company has been chartered by the Legislature for supplying the town with gas and water, and the wear works are nearly completed. Churches will be erected immediately. The situation of RENOVO M entirely healthy, and as the dimensions of the town are limited by nature, the value of the lots mast appreciate greatly in the course or a few years. EmpORWM will certainly be the most important com mercial point between Lack Haven and Warren, a dis tance of 158 miles. It is near the centre of tue railroad, 47 miles west of Behove; 139 miles from Sunbury and 149 miles from Erie It is near the Junction or the Drift wood Branch of the Sinnemaboaing, with West Creek, Portage Creek and North Creek, the Valleys of which streams make itthe most accessible point on the Phila delphia and Erie raliroad to a very extensive district of country. The moment the projected railroad c maecting It with the city of Rochester, N. Y., shall be completed, few interior towns in the State will surpass it in business capabilities. An excellent graded road now connects it with Coudersport, the seat of Justice of Potter county. It is also connected with Smethport, the seat of Justice of McKean county. Emporium is the County Seat of Cam eron county; it has a handsome Court House, and the Land Company have just completed a large and commo dious Hotel, which will immediately be opened /o the public. The Railroad Company are about to erect a hand some and permanent Passsenger Station at a central point near the Hotel and Conn Rouse. The 'Place is healthy, and excellent water is abundant, It is in the midst of one of the finest White Pine regions in Pennsylvania.. As a manufacturing town it has great advantages; coal, lumber, atone, bark for tanneries are abundant, and is railroad communications with the great lakes and all points of importance in the seaboard are unsurpassed. This place was selected thirty years ago as a point of im portance, and a town laid out with the prophetic name of EMPORIUM, but the difficulty of access has prevented Its development so entirely that it is mainly known for the excellence of hunting and trout fishing in the vicinity. The completion of the Philadelphia and/ Erie railroad must soon make ii apiece of great importance as a distri buting point for goods of all kinds, and it offers great advantages for persons of moderate capital who desire to identify themselves with the early history of a thriv ing town.
