The next term of the New Columbia
Male and Female Academy will commence
on :he 5ih of August 1862. This is a good
school. It id worthy of a liberal patronage.
R. S. Bingham is Principal.
lr is said that the Directors of the Penn
sylvania Rail Road Company, have subscri
bed fifty thousand dollar", to be used as
bocniy pay for soldiers under the new req
uisition. Cpr venerable 'friend Major (before the
war broke out) Isaac S. Monroe, of Catta
witsa, was a Vice President in the late
Republican State Convention which met
at Harrisburg.
In another column will be found the
Proclamation of Gov. Curtin calling opon
the citizens of the State to furnish twenty
om regiments as our qnota ni.der the Pres
ident's late cal. for trcop.
Is to day's Star will be seen the pro
readings of the late war meeting held in
this place. The Secretaries here after will
please write ou: the proceedings themselves
if ibev wish us to publish any more. It is
their business, not ours.
Charles Coknkr, Eq , for the last ten
yeirs Clerk in the Auditor Generat's office,
at Harrisburg, is now on a visit to his
friends in Columbia county. He. visited
onr sanctum on Wednesday. Mr. Conner
is i most efficient officer and estimable gen
tle m an .-Democrat.
The CiRcrs no doubt was largely attend
in this place on Monday last People
iriJfind money to a'tend such places, when
often they need it badiy for other purposes
mich more honorable and respectable. But
po:h is human natnre. Excitement gets
thu better of soma people.
The law does not allow any bounty to
ttn5 nine months men, except the S25 paid
at the time ol being mustered iuto service
Tlie remaining S75 is only payable to those
wijo enlist for three years or during the
wur. Our boys will do well to observe this
muter.
The County Commissioners are expect
ed to meet at their office, in this place to
day, for the purpose of taking into consider
atioruhe appropriating of money toward
raising Columbia county's quota of volun
teers to perve one year or during the war
Some decisive step if looked lor them to
take in the matter speed.ly.
' The : following are the officer'', State,
District, and County, to be filled by election
this fall :. State Auditor General and Sur
veyor General. District President Judge,
one member ofCongress, and two Members
o:r Assembly, Couuty District Attorney,
County Commissioner, County Auditor, and
County Surveyor. It is lime candidates
maxe their intentions known. Prospects
nsver looked better for a Democratic tri
umph than they do at present.
There will be a War Meeting held in the
Court House, at this place, on Thursday
evening next, according o adjournment of
the last meeting. Some decisive 6teps will
have to be taken at this meeting in order
that this county may send her quota of men
in the field under the requisition by Ihe
Governor. Volunteers will have to be fur
nished, if not by enlistment then by dralt.
The war will not stop here, go on it icilL
There are quite a number" of young men
(wealthy Republican's sonn) in this town
'bo have nothing t hinder them from en
tering the army but their patents, from jwhat
-e can learn. We can count as high as
ro in a family, able to carry arms, where
one, at least, might be spared. Blush, ye
patriots!
Da.JoHKin bis letter to the late War
Meeting held in this place on Saturday
evening last tries to make himself feel very
i.nxioos "for a draft," in case the number
cf men called from this county "is not
jromptIy made op." "For one" he styles
himself "ready for it." How astonishing
that the Doctor is waiting to be drafted !
When Mr. Clark dated to the meeting that
lie bad a letter placed in his hands from the
iDcctor, we listened patiently to hear read
to the meeting that PALEMON JOHN, the
proprietor and publisher (but not always
Ibe editor) of the Columbia County Republi
can had taken up his shooting's tick and gone
to the army ! But, lo! to our disappoint
ment, he wits only "called sway" by some
other "business of a pressing character."
We always thought the Doctor was a gov
ernment efneer! Postmasters and Stage
ijrivers are not commonly drafted in this
iwuntry. The Dr. is "ready for it," truly.

The Mirror of Fashions. Mme. Demor
esi's Paper ha9 graced our sanctum once
more. It is the publication for the- ladies
It is printed in New York. The terms are
one dollar a year, which also entitles -the
subscriber to fifty cent's worth of patterns
as a premium. '
Vb received a copy of a new publication,
a lew days since, entitled the Five Cent
Monthly Magazine A literary Journal. It
is published by E. H. Bullard, Boston, Mass.
The reading is of a purely literary charac
ter. The Angast number of the American Agri
culturist is out. We deem it net necessary
to speak of the rair qualities this Magazine
possesses over all others of like character
Our farmers have been told time and again
that this work was worth more than double
its subscription price, (which i one dollar)
and we know many of these same men
have commenced taking this periodical and
have found our statement correct. Orange
Judd kuows how to publish an Agricultural
Journal that the people will patronize.
The not very comparatively young widow
er who signed a certain would-be Captain's
Military muster roll, to catch some others
as he was heard to say, did not succeed
very well in inveigling "others" if we may
judge from the number of names presented
on the roll. He had better left his name
off!
