Loxes FOB SOLDIEBS.—MaIIy of our citizens are preparing, and - some have already for warded boxes, containing a variety of provi sions suitable for holiday dinners, to the sol diers in the 201st regiment. All who .have friends in the army, who can be reached by express, should send them the material for a good Christmas dinner. Let those brave men feel that those whom they left at home care for them. GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH, CHESTNUT ST. Divine service in this church to-morrow (Bab.: bath) morning and evening at the usual hours. Preaching by the Rev. Theodore Appel, of Lancaster. The Rev. Win. Henry Harrison Snyder of Ohio, has accepted the call unanimously ten dered to him by this congregation, and is ex pected to enter upon the duties of his office, on Sbabath a week, the 18th inst. We have hereto fore referred to the reputation of this gentleman as being a mau of fine intellectual attain ments and withal a 'Sound Gospel preacher. 1==1:1 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. • . _ Prom the 201st Regiment. aAMP'BLOUGItr Ar : * ! ,, h WiiiikrEtinrY7 -- 64 r. 2.;'11151". 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. A DEFENCE. OF PENNSYLVANIA COL. DIERS. Co?respondenee of the Telegrapk] 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 pianos at the 00849 Wl* tbet our. hue teas first penetrated at a point held by the 12th • II "-1444-4ii-tliitiinFOl-Ofir-teoops skedad 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."
