We hope these committees will at once
- set to work and call upon all, so that as
large a sum as possible may be realized.
Evert• one will contribute liberally to this
fund ;if they are called upon early—and
the sooner the work is commenced the
larger will he the contributions. Now is
the time for action—let every man named
do his duty.
The Mountain Home.
The "Mountain House," Cresson, clos
ed for the summer season on Thursday.
The old hotel, familiarly known as the
"lower house," will be open during the
winter, and we can say to all passing that
way that the boat, Mr. Mullen, and his ac
coutplished lady, will make them comfort
able at all times.
More Aid flue the Soldiers.
It is not generally known that the ladies
of our Episcopal churches have formed
themFelves into a society called the "Epis-
copal Ladies' Relief Association," which
has, for two or three weeks, been actively
engaged in making clothing and prepair
ing hospital stores, which have been for
warded to Philadelphia and Harrisburg
for the use of our sick, wounded and suf
fering soldiers.
The Forty...bah Regiment:
Col. Knipe, of this men:tent, is reported
gen
to have acted most ially at Sharps
burg, takingg , command of the 128th when
Col. Crosdale fell, and rallying the men
sueceasfully aftir they had been thrown'
into confusion. Col. K. went into the
fight with a musket, army coat and slouch
ed bat, and, though
_twice struck on the
boot, escaped injury. All that remained
of his own regiment, some sixty men, vas
formed into a color-ward for the 128th.
AUDITOR GENERAL,
All mechanics, except those who merely
do repairs, must be registered as manu
facturers, and must take out a license as
such if their annual sales amount to $l,OOO.
But mechanics and other manufacturers
who sell their own and other manufacturers
at the place where they are produced are not
required to take out an additional license
as traders. This does not include recti
fiers, who must pay both licenses. If
manufiicturertihave an office, depot, store
room or agency at a place different from
the place where the goods are made, or if
they sell the manufactures of others, in
addition to their own, they must pay
trader's as well as a mania facturer's license.
Thus, a tobacconist who both makes
cigars and keeps for sale goods in his line
which he has purchased,tnust take out both
licenses. So must a druggist, who also
makes patent articles, or medicines, .Vc..
for which he has a private formula or
receipt.
Persons keeping bar rooms or saloons
for the sale of liquors must take out a re
tail liquor dealer's license. If they also
furnish food, they must in addition take
out an eating house license, and the sale
of cigars, &c., requires a tobacconists' or
retail dealer's license besides. Billiard
tables require a special lioense, and baga
telle tables are reckoned as billards. Com
mission merchants who also ship, or com
mercial brokers, are required to take out
two licenses. Grocers selling :lour bythe
barrel, or salt by the sack, or any other
article in the original package, are reck
oned as woolesale dealers. stamps must
be attacked to the papers requiring them
at the time of their execution, and must
be obliterated by the person writing his
initials upon them. Telegraphic dis
patches must be stamped and effaced when
delivered to be transmitted. But railroad
and telegraph companies are not required
to stamp their own dispatches over their
own lines.
Arrangements will be made with the col
lector of this district to supply stamps to
parties desiring to purchase $5O worth or
over, at the rates of discount established
by the Treasury Department. Notes and
bills of exchange drawn for a certain sum,
with interest, will be stamped according
to the principal sum. Foreign currency
will be estimated at the real par exchange;
the pound sterling for instance at the rate
fixed for sovereigns, not at the nominal
rate of $4 481, ner at the market rate of
exchange, which is now something above
the real par.
On and after October Ist, the following
instruments must be stumped: All agree
ments, appraisements, checks, sight drafts,
promissory notes, inland and foreign bills
of exchange, bills of lading to foreign
ports, packages, , per express ; bond,
certificates of stock, or profits, of deposit
is banks, of damages, and all other certifi
cates, charter parties, brokers' memoran
dums, conveyances, mortgages, leases,
telegraphic dispatches, custom house en
tries and manifests:, policies of insurance
—life, marine and fire—and renewals of
same; passage tickets to foreign ports,
powers of attorney, proxies, probates of
wills, protests, waiehouse receipts, and
writs or other original process for com
mencing suit. Also, patent medicines,
perfumeries and playing cards.
These are most important instructions,
and should be read with care. With re•
gard to the intent of that clause relating to
taverns, some difference Of opinion has
prevailed, but Nr. Boutwell settles the
matter by stating precisely what the own
ers of these establishments will have to
pay. From his letter on the subject we
gather the fact that et a tavern orpublic
house, where liquor is sold, licenses must
be taken out for each business, the license
for the tavern to be according to the rent
al, and the license for liquor, in all cases
of retail, to be twenty dollars. By retail
is understood any quantity under three
w allons. To sell above that quantity is
holesale, and the license is ope hundred
dollars. Restaurants which litenich bed
ding, and which keep liquors, are requir
ed to obtain three licenses, first a tavern
license, secondly a license for the liquor
bar, and thirdly a license for the eating
bar, costing ten dollars, when the receipts
amount to or exceed one thousand dollars
per year.
Eating houses are permitted to kee
confectionery without an additional li- p
cense. All dealers in liquor by retail are
required to pay a license of twenty dollars
per year. The penalty for refusal or fail
ure to take out license is a fine of three
times the amount of the duty or tax im
posed by the law, one-half of which goes
to the informer.
BOROUGHS
At Monte.
Lieut. Col. P. Kane, who ieft here in
command of an Irish company, is here on
a visit to his family. He is attached to the
13th Pennsylvania Cavalry, in which regi
ment his Mexican experience gave him a
field officer's commission.: He is a coura
geous and well trained officer and will do
credit to this section of the State.
Killed on the Railroad.
On Friday evening, Jacksen Riggs, em
ployed on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad, was killed by striking his head
against a bridge East of Steubenville.
His body was found on top of the cars.
when he reached that place.
Captain Brady.
Captain E. R. Brady, Co. K, 11th Re
serves,who was killed in the late battle of
South Mountain, was the first to receive
the fire of the enemy, and the first to fall
beneath its withering effects. He was a
resident of Jefferson county, and fornany
years past editor of the Brookville Jeffer
sonian. He was a printer by trade, and
was employed for a time in the offices of
this city.
The Preeeeda., •
The sum realized by the benefit for the
sufferers from the Arsenal disaster, at
the Theatre on Wednesday evening, was
$275, which handsome amount has been
paid over to Mr. Hanna, treasurer of the
fund. We hope this noble example may
be followed by others. By a series of at
tractive exhibitions a large sum may be
raised.

LEST OF THE HOLY , SEE,
F litatSlS R G
To the Clergy and Faithful. of the said
Diocese, Health and Benediction in the
Lord :
On our return amongst you from the
Shrine of the Apostles, it is one of our
first and most pleapingsdaties to address
yon i'; in order to !announce the spiritual
benefits of which the paternal heart of our
Holy Father has made us the bearer to
you. To mark with peculiar distinction
the celebration of the auspicious event
which collected together so numerous an
assemblage of the Episcopacy around the
Chair of Peter, the Supreme Pontiff has
granted to each Bishop who was present
at the late. Canonization ,the faculty of
solemnly crinferring the Apostolical
diction, to which is attached the Plenary
Indulgence, in his Cathedral. and, on the
occasion of the Diocesan Visitation, in
the principal churches of his Diocese.—
Thus, while the meeting of the Bishops
has been productive of great good to the
Church and the Holy-See, it has been at
tended with great advantages for the par
ticular portions of Christ's flock commit.
ted to their charge, and has been the oc
casion_of renewing in their own souls de•
votion to the Chair of Peter and zeal fur
God's cause, the paternal generosity of the
Holy Father has wished that his distant
children, as united with ,him in spirit as
thrise who had the happiness of approach
ing his sacred person, should receive the
fullness of the treasures of the Church,
and participate in the common joy, being
Made 'partakers cif the common good.
We invite the Reverend Clergy to commu
nicate with us as soon as possild, that w e
stay so arrange our Visitation as to be
able soon to, confer the Papal blessing on
our faithfill people. To gain the Plenary
Indulgence it is necessary to be in the
state of grace, having approached the Sac
raments of Penance and the lloly Etteliar
ist--if not on the day itself, at least on one
of those immediately preceding--and to
pray acinirdin g to the intention of the S.
eying!' Pontiff.
We must leave to tour OW II titith until
attachment. to t.h, lloly So.. to conceive
the grandeur ittnl import:weir of the event
in which it has beer our privilege to have
taken part. The voice of an old Irian,
weak in the eyes of the world. whose
throne is said to he tottering, his sceptre
broken, has done what rib other voice in
the world could do. In obedience to it,
flow the North and the Smith, front the
East and the West, came three hundred
Bishops, hewing the wishes, the desires,
the thoughts of two hundr e d millions of
mere All drawn by a common motive.
united by a commo n tie, tiler stand rev
erently ill the presence of him, in whom
is vested the Supreme Power of the
Church. But one thought, but one im
pulse guides them all. '•Thon art Peter,"
they exclaim, .:on Thee has been built the
Church of Christ. t,, Thee have been given
the Keys of the Kin:sr:sin of Ifeaven. - -
To the authority appointed of God they
willingly yield obedience. submission. '
love. When eallled on to consult on
the state of that temporal patrimony which
Providence has granted to the l'untifiten e
to secure its perfect independence, they'
meet not as rival statesmen to represent;
the varions.and contlicting . clairne of their
- different nations, they meet as Catholic'
Prelates, looking only to the good of the
Church and of the 1101 v See. No astute
reasoning, no political wisdom can set
aside the firmness of the declaration of
the Bishops thaiiking the !holy Father for
his past determined refusal to consent to a
compromise with the despoilers of his
territory, exhorting him to centilitre iu his
resolution, expressing themselves ready
to die with hint in defence of his rihts.—
The voice of the Bishops, strengthened by
the approval of the Holy Father, protests
against rapine and sacrilege. which it is t.
sought to cover under the hideous pritici- the mot
pies that success justifies iniquity. that meth
might makes the tight. Sad indeed it tlr
was that we were not stile to commune
with our Brethren, the Bishops of Italy.
but the tvranieel prohibition Of a Govern.
meat which calls itself free was too plait
an indication of the liberty which wont(
be left to the Holy Father, were it possi
ble that he should abdicate his temporal
sovereignty, and consent to be the first
subject of the King of Italy.
The great Catholic thoughts which these
events suggest lead us, beloved brethren,
to exhort you to stand steadfastly by the
faith which has been handed down to you
from the Fathers, and to use every exer
tion, strain every nerve', to the end - that it
may steadily increase and prosper. Much
has been.done in the erection of churches,
the foundation of' charitable institution's
as well as of those intended fbr the reli•
glans education oft he youth of both sexes.
But. unless we 0 0 1161)11e our (-Gras, all
will be undone: neither churchi.::, nor
schools, nor asylums. nor neadendes, will
attain the end fur which :o many sacrifices
have been made. On this occasion we de
sire
to particularly recommend to your
zeal and religions generostty an institu
tion, the prosperity of which we have much
heart—our Diocesan Seminary. The
coileet;on fpr its support will be made in I
all the churches of our Diocese Ott the
third Sunday 'of October. We need not I
urge on our Reverend brethren of the
Clergy the paramount importance to the
Diocose of this institution. Without it I
we could not look to the future without i
dismay. It being successful, we need I
have no fears that, in the years to come, I
there will not be a supply of zealous and
learned priests ready to take the places of
those who are now wearing out their lives
in the service of the Lord. We have
already commenced to realize these good
results. During the present week we
I tend to elevate to the priesthood several
students of the Seminary, who will thus in
crease the number of laborers in the vine
yard, and contribute, we trust, to increase 1
also the good which is being done for re-'
ligirin in the Meese: And, before the'
year is over, we propose to ordain several'
others, the majority of whom, as well as'
those to whom we have justreferred, have
Made their entire: course of ecclesiastical
studies in our SeMiriary. Reaping thus
the fruits of long years of toil, the Diocese
should contribute most copiously to the
support of an institution which must be
productive of so much good. We exhort
our Rev. Brethren of the Clergy to im
preis. these views on - theitstespictive con
gregations, having also in nand that the ' I
financial condition of our country bears in
a peculiarly grievous manner on such in- I
stitutions, and renders imperative increas- i
ed exertions, if they are to be supported
at all. .The stuns collected will be for
warded to Rev. E. F. Garland, St. Pat- I
rick's Church, Pittsburgh, together with
the names of those who have contributed
sums of one dollar and upwards.: These
names will be published in the Catholic.
We sincerely regret, Beloved Brethren.
that, on .011 r return to our Diocese we can
not congratulate you on the termination
of the unhappy war which desolates our
country. The fierce battles fought during
the,
_past month, the killed whom we
mourn, the wounded and maimed that we
see in our midst, must be to the Christian
a source of Alas! that the
mull **MM. of ;men. should thus rise
against duty and right, jeopardizing the
liberties and *muesli of generations yet
unborn. Pray e tleisrly beloved in Christ,
1 1 that this carnagO may cease, that we may
speedily be "restored to union andthat
peace which, the world cannot eve," that
the present strife 'being' ended, our coun
try may resume that course of peaceful
prosperity with which God has vouch
safed fo 'bless it in-so remarkable manner. I
For this end we recommend the public re
eital, with renewed devotion, of the prayer
for the Authorities, which we have already
enjbiied t.; •
"And may the God of peace Himself
sanctify you in all things; that your whole
and soul, and WAY; vyq , be pre - '
served 'blinieless in - the Corning of our

Return or the Allegheny Re-
- -
A special train reached the outer depot
of the Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday
afternoon,
about half past four o'clock,
which left Harrisburg on Wednesday night,
but was delayed at several points owing to
the crowded condition of the road: It
started with four companies of Col. Gal
way's State militia, viz: Co. A, Captain
Gross; Co. B, Capt. Riddle; Co. C. Capt.
Phillips; Co. G, Capt. Frew. The com
pany first named got off the train at East
Liberty. The remainder disembarked at
the outer depot and marched to the city,
preceded by a brass band, which had
been sent out to meet them. They
were fully uniformed and equipped,
and armed, some with muskets and some
with Springfield rifles. In the ten days
they had been absent they had acquired a
praiseworthy proficiency in drill, march
ing and handling their arms well. Their
haversacks, canteens, dusty clothing and
bronzed faces gave them the appearance of
veterans and showed what a brief term of
actual service will do for green recruits.
The battalion marched to Fifth street,
and drew up in front of the Exchange
Bank, where they were faced and brought
to a "present arms,'' and Assistant Adju
tant General Howe mounted the steps of
the hank and delivered the following ad
mirable addreei
Soldiers of the Alleyhcoy Reserve:
' It is a source of peculiar satisfaction to

your fellow citizens of other sections of
the State, constituting ; when massed to

Pennsylvania arc in terrible earnest in the
great struggle in which the nation is en
gaged.
While I am not permitted to congratu-

and war-worn veterans—we are all proud
to know that, although called into service

At the close of his remarks the returned
soldiers gave three cheers and the Gen
eral, to show that their services were lip
p•eciated by the State Executive, read to
them the proclamation of the Governor
ordering their discharge. •
More cheering followed and the compa
nies now separated and marched to their
respective armories, where they disbanded
and went home. We understand that it is
the determination of all the companies to
keep up their organization.

Tw•o New Ploys.
Mr. los. Proctor, who is pleasing all
visitors to the Theatre by his masterly
acting, appears to-night in two entirely
new characters, viz : Ethelwood in a new
drama called "Ambition, or the Tomb,
the Throne, the Scaffold and the Execs•
tioner," and Pieree Milliard in "The In
cendiary, or the Vagrant, his Wife and
Children•" Such a bill should ensure a
good audience,

Convicted.
Eli N. Sheets has been convicted in the
Beaver County Court, of murder in the
first degree, in killing John Ansley. A
motion for a new trial has been made, and
will be argued next month.
Knap•s Battery,
Colonel tleary's (Twenty-eighth) Reg
iment, in the battle of Wednesday, was
supported by u section of Knapp's battery,
under command of Lieut. WWI. One
of the guns was captured, and five horses
killed. The regiment went into battle
650 strong, and lost $5 killed, 135 woun
ded and 18 missing.
A Father and Six Sone.
On Monday we conversed with an old
man named Jacob Needs, who had recent
ly enlisted for the war. He had six sons
iu the service, one of whom was killed in
the seven days' battles before Richmond.
Few families in the country have furnish.

man and his six sons.

The Draft Inevitable.
It is the general opinion that there will
be no further postponement of the draft,
but that it will take place on October 16th.
Dr. Murdock is the examining physician
for the county and can be found at the
Court House every day from 9 A. M. to
5 P. M. Those calling at his office for
examination will be charged the regular
office fees.

The reputation of Carnaghan, Federal

Interesting Experiments in Projectiles
at West Point,
Itietitseuno, September 25.—Gov. Cur.
Ca reached Harrisburg to-day at 1 o'clock,
from Altoona, where he had gone to at
tend a convention of Governors of differ
ent loyal States; on arriving here he did
not get off the cars but proceeded to
Washington where another meeting of the
same body will convene. Transportation
for over ten thousand militia has already
been furnished by Major Leas, Chief of
Transportation Depot to those who have
reached here from Hagerstown and are
returning home; fifteen regiments arrive
daily and are immediately transported
over different roads leaving . at this point.
There has been no officifil information
received here from the army in Maryland.
Civilians arrive by every train who have
been at Harper's Ferry and Williamsport,
they all confirm the news that no forward
movement had yet been made by ou.
forces. The enemy can be dietinctly seen
on the opposite side of the river at Wil
lianisport and at Falling Waters. Gen.
Lee's Headquarters are at the latter place.
The large number of sick and wounded
brought here have been removed to
Reading.
At au early hour this morning the thro'
freight train on the Northern Central rail
road and a train loaded with troops com
ing north, came into collision at Parkton
station some distamce below York. En
gines No. 45 and 45 were smashed up. A
man named Shannon Horde, a member of
the 32d Ohio regiment, was killed. This
regiment was among those taken pris
oners at the surrender of Harper's Ferry
and paroled. They are now en route for
Western border, the scene of the late In•
dian depredations, to take the place of
troops t now there, who are to be sent to
join M'Clellan's army. The through pas-
senger train to Baltimore, not knowing of
the accident, also came in collision with
the wreck. The engine was destroyed,
but no tone injured.
A number of rebel prisoners brought in
to•night were sent to Camp Curtin.
ST. LOCIII, Sept. 25.—The Court Afar
t ial appointed for the trial of Gen. M . li i n
stry assembled this morning. In the ab
sence of General Harney, who has been
ordered to Washington and left last night
for that place, General S. B. Graham was
selected to fill the vacancy, and is acting
President. The charges and specification s
were called for, but the gentleman having
them in charge has not been found. Af
ter discussion of preliminary matters the
Court adjourned to meet on Friday.
WAsniNovoN, Sept. 23 .—General Prince
and other officers, who were recently cap
tured from the late army of General Pope,
have been released by the rebels and will
arrive at Annapolis this evening.
West Pont; Sept. 2 5.—There was an
experiment in projectiles made here to-day
under the supervision of army officers.
A shell invented by C. W. Stafford of
Burlington, lowa, was fired through a one
hundred pound Parrott guu and penetra
ted through six one-inch iron plates and a
solid oak backing. It was the opinion of
all who witnessed the experiment that the
ball would have gone through cne or two
inches more of iron.
SOME curious experiments in gunnery
have just taken place at Verona. Fort
Wratislaw was, cannonaded first at a dis
tance of six hundred paces, and then at
one thousand, the guns being charged with
gun -cotton. The impulsive force of this
substance was ascertained to be two and
one-quarter times that of gun-powder.
Empty shells impelled by gun -cotton pro
duced the same effect as shells filled with
gun-powder and impelled by the same
agent.
