What Allegheny County is Doing,
recruiting excitement is now at fever
• is .estimated that some forty
.l, : companies; are now In process of forming,
in the two cities and vicinity.
.'TbenUmbeTinprospect, however, is hot so
'• lore;an Indication of what is doing, as the
number likely to.'he filled np. It is always
'' safe to count the men actually mastered 4n,
and acting under this rale we note the follow
h»(f: :
On Wednesday, the Ciss Infantry, Captain
Gast, was sworn in, with a fall complement.
Oh Thursday, the Butohera* Light Infan
try, Capt. Denver, and the Howe Engineers,
JTapt. Adams, in, each with the
maximum of one hundred men.- •.
‘ ':. The “Butcher boys now engaged in
raising a second company (Co. B) and It is
. , lald-they have already- thirty or forty names
‘{ enrolled.' They are doing nobly.
The Walker Infantry, Capt. Tyler, is over
; fall, and 1 will he mustered in to-day, at the
• maximum;
Bev.J.B. Clark'* company was filled in
, theloorodibly short space or thirty-six hours I
There was na ‘'drumming up," but the men
rushed voluntarily, and ptaoed their names oh
the roll. Mr. C.iepastorof the Second United
Presbyterian Church, Allegheny, and amln
: ister of learning and-ability. He enters the
eervice as Captain, and so great' has been the
desire to enlist.under .him that he. Is now en
gaged in taking names for a seeond company.
■ are informed tha>t Co. B already numbers
•bme forty znhn, with a strong delegation yet
, ", to arrivo from Cannoniburg, where Mr. Clark
ia well known. He will have no difficulty In
filling up Co. 'B, and the Captaincy haa been
; .‘tenderedto his. brother-in-law, but no reply
, haa yet been reoeived. If he declines, Hon.
6. Drum, Mayor of Allegheny, willtake com
mand—andlfho accepts, Mayor Dram will
. go as First Lieutenant. T.he company will
. perhaps be filled up to-day. We understand
that Samuel Long,*'high constable of AUe
' gheny, has been chosen First Lieutentant of
Capt. Clark's company. So Allegheny is
' likely to be deprived of her popular and effi
cient Mayor, and no less efficient high con
stablo. *
In addition to the above, three other com
panies are about completed, if not already
full—to wit: The Keystone Infantry, Capt.
. Bayne; the Watt Infantry, Capt. Maxwell,
and Capt. Wright's Infantry Company.-
Taken altogether, the above would sum up
say; 800 cisn. - ,
Then we have many other companies, with
very respectable lists, and whloh 'will, beyond
doubt, be filled up in a “few "days, to say noth
, ing of Edward Jay Allen's Battalion, and
' other oorps;
It isiroughly estimated that between 1200
and 1300 men are already enrolled, in sepa
-> rate companies; hut it is impossible to get at
; the exact figure s. , Some place the aggregate
r 'at over 1500, and this tsperhaps not too high.
; >.. Several Companies of nine months men ex-
T>ectto leave to-day and .to-morrow for Har
•' Tilburg. Then thie.. three, yean men will bo-;
* gin Iq reeralt more vigorously, and no doubt
.. whatever ia entertained that Allegheny coun
ty will furnish an excess of her quota, be
sides filling oplho old regiments.
.. In-the ooontry districts, whereeomparative
* ly Ilttlehss yet been done, hundreds of young
men wiU enlist for the three years, as no one:
seems "disposed •tb run the risk of being
; drafted*.
Several companies ware expected here last
evening, from adjoining counties,, but we be
lieve they did not arrive.

AxiM* THI PIKS” By Edhcsd Kirks.
—We have; already noticed this remarkable
work, on several occasions;—more than once
fee it appeared from month to month in the
Continental Monthly, and subsequently when
it was published in a volume. Here we' have
it from the publisher in a new form—ln a new
and oheap edition, which, we doubt not, will
sell by thousands and tens of "thousands.
Such are its merits, both in a literary
point of view, and as a work pregnant
with the most profitable teachings for
the times, in the striking and truthful
views of slavery in the Southern States, which
it so vividly presents, that we rejoice to see U
rendered still more accessible to the'reading
publio by this cheap form of publication,
which, by the is quite as elegant and at
tractive In oVery respect as the mere expen
sive edition first published.
Mr. W. A. Gildesfenney, 45 Fifth street, is
the agent for the publisher, J. E. Gilmore.
New York.
Sicokd Scales or Tram's Union Spkschkb.
of Gaorge Franaia Train, da
livered io England during the present war,
have formed one of fho remarkable features
of our time. Bold,' racy, piquant, they both
commended and won a large share of pnbtio
attention even in great Britain, spite of John
Boll's prejudices ~&hd self-complaoency, to
whieb they paid no degree of deference. No
one oan secure so muoh refreshing reading, for
an outlay of 25 cents, as by calling at Mr.
Miner's and tendering that amount for this
Second Series of Train's Speeches.
—Mr. W. A. Gildenfenney, 45 Fifth street,
has also received the Second Series of Train’s
Union Speeohes. T. B. Peterson A Brothers,
of Philadelphia, are the publishers.
The Gold Excitement in Ohio,
It turns out that the supposed discovery of
gold in Tuscarawas oounty, Ohio, was a com
plete humbug. After much labor, excite
ment, expense and trouble, the. gold babble
bunted'—the high expectations of realizing a
princely fortune by digging up a few'shovels
of earth, vanished like mist beforo the noon
day "sun. By a minute examination, a few:
days ago, by chemical process, to the great
disappointment of hundreds of citizens, the*
reported gold proves to be nothing but mere
«teo—a minersfof a foliated structure, tkfn
scales, having a shining surface, the constit
uent parte of which aro granite, gneiss and
mica slate, and does not contain a particle of
gold.
Another New Company.
Mr. Jeremiah M. Sample, of Allegheny, is
about recruiting a company for the war, and
expats to open this morning at stand No. 2,
Diamond, Allegheny. Mr. Sample is well
known, and a highly esteemed citizen, a mem
ber of'Beayer Street M. E. Church, and Su
perintendent of the Becond Ward Mission
Sabbath School. He has two sons in the
Union army, and although well advanced in
years, he is determined to* enter service
himself as Captain. His First Lieu
tenant will be Israel V. Hoag, a gentleman el
great energy and integrity of character.
Under their direction, the ranks cannot be
long in filling up with good men.
State Senate.
Pittsburgh, July 6, 1862.
Afewr*. Editor «ln the midst of the ex
citement "attending the levy of new troops,
we should not forget the civil duties which
will devolve upon us. ' As the time for select
dog candidates for office.approaches, I desire
through your columns, on behalf of many per
sons with whom I have consulted, to urge
upon the people the return to the Senate ol
our present very able and efficient member, E.
H. Irish, Esq. For the last two years we
have been able to point with pride to the
members of the Senate from Allegheny coun
ty, for every person abouUHarriaburgh ac
knowledged their ability, industry and un
swerving honesty. Amidst the corruptions
of the past two years, when the country was
astounded by the magnitude of the frauds
perpetrated, and the character of the men who
yielded to the.temptation 2 Messrs. Irish and
. Penny were not merely pure, but above suspi
cion. They were known throughout the
State, and their character for honesty, ability
and attention to business was such as to give
them great influence in tho councils of the
State. Their action throughout their terms of
office has received In all cases the unqualified
approbation of cureitisoos. Why then should
we make a change. Mr. Irish baa performed
hts duty-well,{let us then retain his services,
for, without disparagement to the other aspi
rants for the {position, there Is no question
' that he can exort a greater influence than a
new man. He'has made an exieuiive\ec
quaintanee, established a character, and b&s
an intimate'knowledge of the details of legis
elation, all of which 'are essential to the effi
cient performances of his 'duties. But io
‘Addition to all these considerations there is
another of more importance. When one of
oar officers passes through the ordeal of Har
risburg life unsoathed, and brings baok to bis
constituents a reputation untarnished, it is
our duty to show our appreciation of the man,
by a renewal of our confidence.
We now have a man who fills the Jeffer
sonlon standard, he is u honest and eapabte,”
let ns not try new men, but retalp one we
know and can trust. Tblbd Ward.
Concerning Drafting.
Eds, Gazette .- In making op the quota of
troops required from Allegheny county i
the reoent requisition of the President, ought
not the list of proper subjects for draft to be
prepared by the Commissioners with reference
to what the different sections of the county
have already done in the bray of .volunteering.
To illustrate: A certain district in the county
has already offered every young man within
Us limits, with the exception of three. This
number may, quite likely, be reduced to two,
before the Item which chronicles the foot is
read by the neighbors of bne of tbe gentlemen
in question. Within half an hour's ride of
this locality there Is another of a three-fold
greaterpopnlatibn, which,! am informed, has
only since theoutstartof tbe rebel
lion, some five or six recruits altogether.
; Hew, should the - loyal neighborhood first
alludod to be made to supply,-after the deple
tion already undergone,aproportionate num
ber of men with the other, I willnot say dis
loyal, but delinquent one ?
'■ If that be the case; and if the case be a gen
eral one, then—to say nothing of the irregular
apportionment of responsibility—the result
may show that the ballot-box, One of these
.days, may proTe an enemy in the rear more to
be dreaded than the bayonets in front of our
army. • • Patriot.

, Jefferson college Exercises.
On Sabbath, Augustlk), the anniversaries of
Jefferson College were commenced by a sermon
from the Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Allegheny city,
before the Religions Societies of the College.
In the evening the President of the College
delivered a baccalaureate before the gradua
ting olass.
On Monday, the 4th Inst.,-the'exercises of
the Religious Societies were held. These per
formances ooonpied about an hour and a half,
and were listened to with considerable inter
est.
On Tuesday evening'the exercises of the
Literary Societies came off. These were qnite
interesting, indeed. The valedictory of the
Philo Society was delivered by W. 0. Camp
bell, of Butler, Pa. A response was made by
J. H. Weis, of Sbmferstown, Pa.
In behalf of the Franklin Society a valedic
tory was delivered by J. G. Sloan, of Dan
ningsvillo, Pa. A response was made by E.
S. Riggs, of Sharon, Pa.
About 8 o’clock the Rev. Dr. Sloane, of
New York, was Introduced to a largo audience,
and delivered a very eloquent address on “Re
ligion, Law and Liberty—Their Relation to
the Present War." A part of the audience
attempted to hiss him once or twice, bnt the
students cheered him so loudly that the hisses
were oompletely drowned.
On Wednesday, Providence Hall was filled
to overflowing by a large and appreciative
audlenoe, to hear the exercises of tne senior
olass.
The English Salutatory was delivered by
R. Graoy Ferguses, Dry Run, Pa., who was
the happy recipient of the fourth honor.
The Latin Salutatory, by P. S. Jennings,
Allegheny county, was well spoken, but, of
ooorse, attracted but little-attention. Iu au
thor competed for and won the third honor.
The Greek Salutatory was delivered by A.
J. Caldwell, who obtained the second honor.
The attention of the audience was then
gained by a stirring speech on the “Price of
Victory,’’ by P. H Aguew, Beaver, Pa.
The characteristics of -“True Patriotism”
, were faithfully delineated in an oration by
J. J. Bollville.
This was followed by a clear, convincing
and telling speech on the “Elements of Suo
oess,” by A. H. Brown, Saltsbnrg, Pa.
E. T. Jeffers then entertained tbeandienee
with a disquisition on “The Constitution.”
“ Reason and Faith,” by J. R. Johnson,
Coshooton, Ohio, next olaimed the attention
of the audience.
“ The Trials of the Republic,” were graphi
cally described by S. B. Mcßride, Cannons
burg, Pa.
“Antagonism,” as displayed in the contest
between truth and error, liberty and tyranny,
law and rebellion, was happily treated by H.
N. Potter, Cannonaborg.
Wallace Radcliff, of Pittsburgh, Pa., fol
lowed with an oration; the aubjeot—“ Devo
tion to Troth,” was pretty thoroughly han
dled and the composition admirably executed.
“ Crime, Its own Retribution,” was strange
ly but strikingly-dreated by R. H. Rohlaod,
Mansfield, Ohio.
The addresses were closed with a “ valedic
tory oration,” by B. F. Woodburn, Alleghe
ny city, Pa., who took the first honor. The
aqtbor displayed an unwunted depth ef
thought and skill in composition.
The degree of A. B. was conferred on fifty
young men of the graduating olass.
Shocking Accident.
On Wednesday night, a woman named
Rlngeling, wife of Jacob
on Pride street, In the Eighth ward, was so
shockingly burned by caralestptias in filling a
lamp, that she is not expected to recover.
The lamp becoming empty,.and not wishing
to extinguish Removed the burn
er, and commenced jtouring in oil from a can,
bolding the burning wick so close that ther
vapor ignited, exploding the can, and cover
ing herself with the burning fluid. liariog
children in tbo room, she fled to another part
of the house, and thenee to a porch, where
she fell writhing in pain—her clothing having
been nearly all burnt off. Her face, breast,
arms, and in f%cftho entire front part of her
body, was frightfully and deeply burned. She
is about twenty-six years'of age, and has a
child only six weeks old.
Dr. Walter is doing all in bis power to save
her, but tho suffice is so very large, and the
injury ro deep, that he bas little hope of her
recovery.
Killed, in Battle*
Mr. Paul Crawford, of Allegheny City, has
received a letter from F. Dick,
dated Harrison's Landing, Va., July 25th,
from wbleh we extract the following :
"JTonr brother, Robert Crawford, was killed
instantly on tbe 25th of June, on the battle
field near Fair Oaks, while gallantly fighting
for his eonntry. He was a noble little sol
dier, and I was proud of him. Von all have
my deepest sympathies in your bereavement.
It is bard to lose one so young, so innoeent,
and with such bright prospects before him—
but such is the fate of war. Robert was be
loved by all who knew him, and his death is
mourned by the wholocompany. I sent out
some men who buried him with tbe others, and
marked his grave.*'
Fatal Case of Poisoning.
On Thursday morning last, Wm. Hamilton,
residing in Chestnut Ridge, four or five miles
from Mount Pleasant, while under the In
fluence of liquor, called at Andrews’ hotel for
breakfast, and also wanted whisky. The
landlord replied that he kept no whisky, but
would order him something to eat. In his
absence, Mr. Hamilton, observing a bottle on
a shelf, which he supposed to contain whisky,
bat whieh proved to be Cyanuret of Pottas
slum, a most deadly poison, belonging to an
artist at that'place, drank nearly a teaeopfoi,
destroying his life in two hours, notwithstand

Deceased was about sixty years of age.

The President's Order, in Reference
lo Absentees Irom the Army.
Camp bein Little Wabbi.ioton, Aog. 7.
—Nothing ean exceed the gratification with
which tbe President's Order, In referenoe to
absentees from tbe army, was received by
most of tbe officers and men £of tbe army of
Virginia. While there are many instances,
of necessary absence from the ranks,, the num
;ber U infinitely small compared with those
wbo;*re absent from motivor of pleasure or
case. The new order covers all these de
ficiencies of legislation, and promises to go far
towards increasing the rank and file of the
army. Therqls, however, another subject of
complaint among military commanders. It Is
but seldom that men,, whp are . sent to the
General Hospital,.find theirway baok to the
'ranks. '
All quiet, and nothing indicative of imme
diate action, but the presence of Gen. Pope,
and bis conference'with his chief comman
ders,;are significant of something about to be
done; .
