REMOVE THE &OW 614 D SAVE A DOLLA.Z. —We
beg leave to call the attention of the citizens
of Harrisburg to the following section of "An
ordinance prohibiting nuisances within the
city:"
SEC. 18. That it shall be the duty of the
lot-holders within the inhabited parts of the
city, within twenty-four hours after the fall of
a snow, to have the same removed from their
pavements and gutters into the street, in front.
of their dwellings or lots, under the penalty
of one dollar for each offence, to be recovered
for the use of the city, as other fines are by
law recoverable.
WINTEE Ix EARNEAT.—Snow commenced
falling about ten o'clock last evening, and
continued during the whole night. By this
morning it had reached the depth of about
ten inches. Shortly after daylight the jingle
of the "merry bells" could be heard upon the
streets--some of our citizens having improved
the first opportunity to enjoy a sleigh•ride.
Whilst winter brings joy into certain cir
cles, it saddens the hearts of many. There
are in our midst families who are in destitute
circumstances, without sufficient food, fuel
or clothing. Let those who have "enough,
and to spare," look after the poor and supply
their wants. Let no one be permitted to suf
fer in a city like ours, where there is an
abundance for every one. None need want
if those who have the means will lend a help
ing hand to the poor.
I=l
HANCOCK'S VETERAN CORPS.—Previous men
tion has been made that the Provost Mar
shals of this State, under instructions from
Provost Marshal General-Fry, through Colo
nel Browne, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal
General for Maryland and Delaware, had been
authorized to assist in the recruiting for the
"First Corps," which Major General Hancock,
under special orders from the War Depart
ment, has been empowered to raise for ser
vice. Only those persons who have served
two years and been honorably discharged from
service are privileged to enter this favorite
corps, the officers of which have served hon
orably for the same period. The Provost
Marshals are to receive the men and furnish
transportation to Washington, where they
will be enlisted and mustered into service,
receiving $3OO cash bounty—even though
they may enlist only for one year, though
volunteers for two or three years will be re
ceived. Every volunteer who serves faith
fully and preserves the arms which are given
into his charge when mustered in service,
will be entitled to them upon being honora
bly discharged.
Kim= PIIICES.—This morning, to be sure,
was very inclement. Snow ten inches deep;
some trouble to wade to market; but necessi
ties of families required it to be encountered
and conquered. The country people, too, of
course, suffered in the same proportion, and,
therefore, the attendance on their part was
rather slim.
But what we wish to draw attention to in
this brief article, is the disposition of our
country cousins on all such occasions, to take
advantage of, to impose on the people who are
their customers by exacting exorbitant prices
for their produce. For instance, some had
the audacity to ask seventy-five cents for a
pound of butter! Others, less voracious, con
descended to ask sixty cents. Eggs, almost
universally, ranged at fifty cents a dozen! and
other farm products in proportion. We re
gard this as imposition, and a mistake on the
part of the farmers. The ulkinate conse.
queues will be that the towns-people will be
obliged to combine against them, resolving
to become non-consumers, until they learn,
by sad experience, to be guided by better rea
son, humanity and justice. If the consumers
resolve not to buy,they cannot sell, and their
produce must decay. The subject is worthy
public coasideration; and a public meeting of
our citizens on the subject would be not only
not out of place, but quite appropriate. Our
poor deserve - to be defended against snob gross
inVolitiall. • . _

Eneron TaniGnAPH—Dear :--,There is a
steady shower of rain falling, and a brisk
east wind prevailing at this hour. The 'weath
er, nevertheless, is mild, and the boys express
themselves comfortable. They are delighted
to learn of the contemplated present our
clever Harrisburg friends are getting up for
.us. "What !" suggested one of our friends
—"what if the outsiders belonging to other
regiments should style 'us the ',tatter-kraut"
regiment in a spirit of envy ?"
"That's an affair of little import—let them
proceed, so far as I am concerned," replied a
rosy-faced member of company, "L" "They
may just as well term us that, -as anything
else, proViding the kraut comes to hand.—
Did not Shakespeare tell his admiring readers
that
"A rose, by any other name, would smelt as
sweet,"
And is there not something firm, substan
tial and wholesome in a dish of good sauer
kraut?"
Yes, sir, and if we should, on some occa
sion or other, be marched to face the enemy
on the battle-field, you and your readers need
not be ashamed to hear of the "sauer-kraut"
lovers of the Keystone State, attached to the
201st Regiment!
Among the visitors of the past few days I
notice Mrs. Dr. Wagonseller, Mrs. Samuel
Wiestling, Mrs. Fow and brother, Mr. Rose,
of Philadelphia. Mr. J. Gilman, of Adams
& Co's Express, Harrisburg, paid our camp a
visit yesterday evening,. and stopped at the
"United States," Stroh, Nichols & Co., pro
prietors, corner Broad and Chestnut streets.
"Pap" Gilman left this morning for City
Point, on one of the Potomac steamers, for
the purpose of taking north the body of his
son, John Gilman, who fell in front of Pe
tersurg, at the hands of a rebel sharp
shooter, in June last. We parted, with a
feeling .of regret, from our aged friend, and
hope sincerely that he may return in safety
from his sad mission.
• Yesterday, while your correspondent was in
the act of reaching for the pass or permit, of
a gentleman seated in a neat carry-all, a
spunky-looking, black-and-tan terrier dog,
leaped on the seat beside the driver, bristling
up and barking at a furious - rate, ready to de
vour us on the spot. "Friend," we inquired,
• 'What is the matter with pup he seems to
be excited wonderfully."
"I will tell thee"—the man wore the unmis
takable drab of the Quaker—"A month since
I came to the city on foot—fost the animal on
leaving Alexandria—but, lo ! and behold in an
hour afterward I observed the brute coming
over the hill, near my residence, almost out of
breath, with a Union soldier's canteen fast
ened to his tail ! "Wonld'st thou believe it,
friend--the dog becometh greatly excited
whenever he sees a Union soldier, since that
veritable afternoon! He is ruined, friend—
bitter as a secessionist against the soldiers !"
Our friend Lewis, the Superintendent oflies
erroir, is the possessor of a fine watch-dog.—
Like his master he is Union to the back-bone,
allowing no one to enter the premises, save a
soldier. On the appearance of any individual
wearing Uncle Sam's clothing, he wags his
tail with delight, as much as to say, "Step
in, boys—you are of the right stripe !" Truly
they have some "knowing dogs" in Virginia?
On a second visit to the Government cattle
yard, in West Ring street, yesterday, one of
the herders informed me that 900 head are
sent down the river daily. On inquiry as to
the terrific noise we heard on the previous
night, while on duty between one and four
o'clock, A. at., he stated that a fresh herd had
arrived the day before, and were turned into a
corral close to one confining "old stock."—
Among the latter herd were two giant bulls,
who possessed the same propensities as
did "Slaymaker's bull," said to have but
ted an engine off a bridge, somewhere in
Lancaster county, as the story was told 'by
Harry Hold, an old and excellent engineer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. To our story :
"Down went the fence, and into a "free fight"
went both herds, bellowing and roaring like
Cummins' lions 'at the pools to which they
nightly resorted, while the daring African ad
venturer lay in the tops of the Mimosa trees,
close at hand, listening to the horrible music !
The "herders," with long poles, were obliged
to "pitch in," and, after an hour's work, suc
ceeded in separating the combatants.
The spat where the "corral" is located is an
enclosed yard, containing a large number of
Aspen trees. It embraces about five acres,
front, with a substantial brick house, on a
slight eminence, in which the "herders" are
quartered. In the rear are long and roomy
covered sheds, and subdivided yards. The
cattle are fed once a day, with a sufficiency of
hay, and cut-hay mixed with a kind of chop
made from damaged hard-tack. The latter
preparation the stock eats readily. The pro
perty was formerly owned by CO. Peyton, an
aristocratic and influential Virginian; but,
latterly, fell into the hands of M'Nair Cot,
of Alexandria. The Aspen grove in question
(as I am informed) was once the resort of
beauty and fashion of the elite of Alexandria,
on the occasion of pic-nics, and Fourth-of-
July celebrations. To what base purposes,
4 - c., has this fine homestead been appropria
ted! Well, "they that sow the wind, must
reap the whirlwind."
Somebody—and we readily guess who—has
acted the part of the "Good Samaritan" to
ward your correspondent—sent 'him, prepaid,
a tine supply of note paper and envelopes
articles greatly needed, since the lazy pay
master won't step this way! Thanks—many
thanks—and may this unlooked for addition
to our meagre stock of writing material help
us to verity the quotation of "The pen is
mightier than the sword."
A large number of express boxes arrive
daily, and the boys have a general season of
plenty among themselves.
Excuse this rambling style of writing, for I
am laboring under difficulties—my head feels
as if a wind-mill was inside it—and the weath
er is too unpropitious, this afternoon, to sally
forth in quest of news.
The President's message appeared in camp,
yester-even, and everybody that could raise the
5 cent postal currency invested it in a copy of
the Washington Evening Star. The views con
tained therein meet with the entire approba
tion of every loyal man in the country.
Truly yours, A. H. B.

ARMY OF !HE POTOMAC,
NEAR PETERSBURG, VA., 200TH REG.
P. V., Deo. 3, 1864.
Permit me, through your paper, to correct
a slander and falsehood on our brave Penn
sylvania soldiers, by a special correspondent
to the New York Tribune of Nov. 22d, in
which the pimp, who signs himself B. C.,
near Richmond, Ya., attempts to give the
Tribune an account of the attack on the picket
line in front of Bermuda Hundred, Ta., on
the night of the 17th Nov.; picketed, at the
time of the attack, by six Pa. one-year regi
ments, and the 12th N. H. volunteers, old
troops. It will be seen at a glance that this
cowardly hanger-on never saw the front, and
all his attempted account was contraband and
slander on our brave men in.the field, from
the fact that this would-be nice correspondent
states that, in his former communication to
the tribune, he puts our 141,s at 40 men, cap
tured, including Col. Kaufman, of the 209th
Pa. volunteers, but omitted to mention that
4$ men of the 12th N: H.; including two com
missioned officers, old troops; were.;taken

dled, as th 4 cowardly writer terms it. Not a
single post gave way until ordered to do so.
The left of the line was held by the 200th and
208th regiments Pa: volunteers. Part of this
line was under heavy fire, and the rebels re
pulsed. The right of the line was picketed
by the 207th, 209th and 211th Pa. volunteers,
and the 12th N. II volunteers, and no attempt
was made to fall back until ordered to do so.
The attack was made under the cover of the
night, at a point where our picket line makes
a short curve. Part of two brigades of the reb
els advanced, penetrated our line and flanked
some thirty posts, capturing 130 men, Col.
Kaufman and two line officers. The men on
the right and left of- the line stood firm and
repulsed the attack, and our loss was alto
gether owing to the superior force of the reb
els at a favorable points to them, under cover
of darkness, and not for the want of valor
and bravery of our troops, notwithstanding
the statement of the cowardly pimp to the
Tribune of Nov. 22, 1864. J. B.
THE TEIII76I'II OF VIRTUE.—After a success
ful engagement of two weeks, Mr. James B.
Roberts, the great tragedian, is about to leave
our city, and will this evening appear for the
last time, at Brant's Hall. During his en
gagement our people have been favored with
some of the grandest plays ever witnessed, all
of which were produced in a style that reflects
great credit upon the manager (Mr. Rouse,)
and the whole Combination Company. This
evening we are to be favored with the beauti
ful domestic drama entitled Tun ORPHAN OF
GENEVA, on The Triumph of Virtue. Mr.
Roberts will sustain the great character of
Ces.vm The entertainment will conclude with
the interesting afterpiece, entitled In and Out
of Place, in which the talented actress, Miss
Fanny Denham, will appear in five characters.
The bill of this evening's perforrpaucelis worth
seeing, and no doubt a very large audience
will be present. Go to Bannvart's Drug Store
and secure seats for your wives and "sweet
hearts." This is the last opportunity you
will have to see Mr. Roberts. New stars will
appear next week.

AT THE JONES HOUSE. —Owing to the large

Professor Sibbet will remain in Harrisburg
until Wednesday noon of next week. En

from staying longer. The Professor warrants
every ease that he undertakes. Persons who

their prejudices and give him a call. The
Professor claims that with his method of
treating the scalp failure is impossible.
Call and see him at once and have explained
to your entire satisfaction, why it is that the
hair becomes in so many cases thin and dis
eased, and prematurely gray, and then obtain
if yon choose a Restorative that will remove
all the causes of these sad results, and clothe
your head with that beautiful covering which
nature designed it to have viz: good hair. 2t.
