The Election in Vieginla. —The election “for” and ‘‘against” the ordinance of Secession parsed by the Virginia Convention, will take place on Thursday noxt, and the rebels are do ing their utmost to overawe and stifle tho Union sentiment in Virginia. It is reported that rebel troops have already been sent West over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and that quite a number are collecting at Clarks barg and other points. Tbo Wheeling JnitUi penccr, in alluding to these rumors, says: “On Friday evening, and during Saturday, reports were current in the city that tbero were secession troops congregating at Grafton, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Wo could get no conliruialion of these reports, though they wore said to have been founded upon despatches received from reliable Union nen at Grafton. We know that the secession ists are moving heaven and earth in the moun tains to drum and life up enough soldiers to go iato camp at Grafton, but when it comes to the striking point tbc companies stampede like they did at Fairmount on Friday. The se coslontsts would like to send troops to Graf ton, oranywhere elso in Westorn Virginia, to overawe the Union men, but at this time we don’t believe that they will, or can, or dare do it” Adjoueksk Militart Meetinq.—An ad. journed meeting of tho officers of the unac. ceptod volunteer companies was held yesterday morning in the Common Council Chamber— Capt. Owens in the Chair, and Capt. Leonard Secretary. At the previous meeting it was resolved to form a brigade of not lots than two regiment*, and Capt- D. H.

Hay; Firemen’s Guard, Capt. A. W. Gazzam; Columbia Legion, Capt. J. C. Love; McKee Kifloc, J. W. Patterson; Highland Grenadiers, Capt. R. Chester; Rover Guards, Capt. G. Ebert. A spirited discussion then followed upon the probabilities and improbabilities of an accept ance by the Secretary of War, considerable doubt being expressed aB to a favorable re sult. ■ After the paaaage of a resolution instructing the Secretary to notify Gov. Johnston, (who is now in Washington,) that the brigade was complete, the mooting fuijourned. Regimental Nominations. — The commis. sioned officers of the Second Regiment of Home Guard Rifles, embracing the Fort Pitt Rifles, Sixth Ward Guards, Co. 8., Seventh Ward Guards, Co.

A Prus sian woman, about thirty*-iive years of age, named Kerg, had been accused of theft by some of her neighbors, and, the matter prey* ing upSu her mind, she resolved to commit sui cide. With this determination she took her child, aged five months, in her arms, and pro ceeding to a cistern in the vicinity of the house, threw herself in, where, the water be ing quite deep, she succeeded In’accomplishiDg her object. The bodies of both mother and child were found Boon afterwards, but life was then extinct, and all efforts to restore anima tion proved useless. An-inquest was hold aDd a verdict rendered that the women came to her death by drowning herself under the idea that her character bad been damaged by the gossip of calumniators. Any Colob but Red, —A writer in the Chicago Journal warns the soldiers against rod caps. He Bays: Any color but red for a soldier. No color strikes the eye so quickly, nono forms so good a mark. My father—an old soldier —gave as his experience that the destruction in battle fell chiefly on thoso who wore the “red.” lam a novice in military matters, but this I have learned, that the safest color is that which harmonlr.es best with Nature's chief color, green. But as green is not the chief color in battle, it is not the most suitable color for the soldiers. Tho color o: smoko is gray, and those dressed throughout in this color can hardly bo distinguished from smoke. Flag Presentation at Camp Slifkr A Cbambersburg exchange has the following : “A number o( the ladies of Chambersburg, through W. S. Stonger, Esq., presented a beautiful flag to tho Seventh Regiment, under command of the gallant Col., W. H. Irwin, in the Public Square, on Wednesday afternoon. The pretty pr sent was received on behalf of the Kepiment by Its brave Lieut. Col. O. H Ripley. Highly eloquent and patriotic speeches were made upon tho occasion by those two gift** ed gentlemen. Tears of joy coursed down manly cheeks as the burning words of tldclity to tho glorious Stars and Stripes, and to the Government they represent, fell from the lips of the speakers.” Various have boon tho means used to beautify atd preserve the human hair. Recognized al ways aa oue of the chiefeel ornameola to the person and one of its most perfect adorning*, Hcience has l>6eo taxed to the uttermost to keep it in the freahness and luxuriance of youth. We have always looked with hu* picion on the thousand and one articles advertised for this purpose, and felt never like recommending very heartily anything, but from what we hare seen and heard of HeinutreeVs Inimitablo Hair Restorative, we confess to believing that that will do the woik, and that we may recommend its use in full confidence of a sik ceaaful result. To tho bald it oilers inducements and hopes for a permanent covering, to the gray it give promise of youthful rigor and color, and to those hair is coming out it comes as a complete remohv and preservauve. Complimentary.— The secessionist editor of tho W booling Union, who had evidently just returned from Camp Logan in a bad hu mor, thus speaks of our soldiers in camp: “We saw the company from the back slums of Pittsburgh—fellows with whom Falstaff would not have marched through Coventry: trencher soldiers; squalid, ragged and half naked,who enlisted to war on their rations: the dregs of the Pittsburgh populace. These are the levied forces whom Lincoln sends, on Campbell's invitation, to invade our State.” Soldier Like.—A dispatch to tho New York Tribune says: “The Pennsylvania Fifth is quartered at Inauguration Hall, under the floor of which were found yesterday sev eral pools of stagnant water and a dead bog. One member who was perfectly well last night, died to day without any apparent cause. His body was as blue as indigo an hour before be died. His name was George Shrock, from Schuylkill." The Fifth is commanded by Col. McDowell, of Allegheny, and has with it several companies from this city. They will doubtless bo removed to more healthy quar ters. To Whiten Linen. — Stains occasioned by fruit, iron rust, and other similar causes, may be removed by applying to the parts injured a weak solution of the chloride of limo—tha cloth having boon previously well washed—or of soda, oxalic acids, or salts of lemon, in warm water. The parts subjected to this operation should be subsequently well rinsed in soft, clear, warm water, without soap, and bo im medi&Ufly dried in the sun.

Inquest. —Coroner Bostwick held an in quost yesterday forenoon upon the body of a still-born child, which was found, wrapped in some clothing, lying in an alley In the rear of a shoe store on the corner of Fifth and Market streets. It had been placed there during the previous night. The child had not matured, and the jury found a verdict in accordance with the facts. To Remote Ink Spots.— A domestic re ceipt for extracting ink spots from colored articles of linen, wool and similar fabrics, is simply to rinse the part so stained in fresh milk, changing the milk as often as nocessrary until the stain disappears. As a finaol, wash out the milk in pure rain water. Deserters —Four soldiers, who dosorted from Camp Wilkinson Monday night, were f :und in the city yesterday morning by a do tachment of their comrades, who took them back to camp, where they will be looked after. Harper’s Magazine. —The number for J une of this standard periodical has been laid upon our table by Hunt& Miner. Tho pres, ent number commences the 2fld volume. Tho contents are most interesting. A Home Production. —How strange it is that our people have for years placed so much im portance upon artiales manufactured in the uorth, or florae foreign country, —“a* if distance lent enchant ment to the view,"— and think our home productions of litUe value; but now, we are happy to state, that many home articles having proved to be so much better Utan foreign articles, thu this fealing of negioo'ing oor own interests has in a great measure disap{>*Ared. For the future, wo intend, when the parties are worthy, to call the attention of our readers to our own productions— ang, m this conoectio >, we desire to notice Messrs. Potter k Merwin.6l Market street, who hAve long been known to us as true southern gentlemen, in whom we can plaoe the utmost confidence. They are the pro prietors end manufacturers of several popular medical preparations of real worth and merit—among which the “Cherokee Remedy," of which you will find an ad vertisement in another column, is particularly worthy of notice. It has proved Itself to be an article of moro real value t hfln the gold mines of California It never fails to cure Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Gravel and all diseasas of the urinary organa, in less dmeand with less trouble ifiari any other article known. It is entirely different from all the old exploded mixtures that are so nause ous and disgusting to take. The medicine is composed of pure vegetable extracts, the same as prescribed by the “Medicine Men," of the Indian Tribes long before the landiog of Columbus. The diseases for which it is intended were not known to the white man prior to the discovery of America. Here is where they origU naied, and here ia where the medicines grow to cure them, and for these plain truths we have more confi dence in this article than in any of the poisonous drugs tbat came from some far off country Dentistry.— Dr. C.
