Did Captain Ogden escape it ? Was he not
prevailed upon to start for Camp on Monday
morning previous to the election ? And why ?
Was it not because "his company was largely

Ax Effectual Curb for tiia Ear Acue.
Take a small piece of cotton batting, or cotton
wool, make a depression in the center with the
eud of the finger, and fill it with as much
ground pepper as will rest on a five cent piece,
gather it into a ball and tie it up, dip the ball
into sweet oil and insert it in the oar,covering
tho latter with cotton wool, and use a bandage
or cap to retain it in its place. Almost instant
relief will be experienced, and the applica
tion is so gentle that an infant will not be in
jured by it, but experience relief as well as
adults. t
Keepiso Apples. If you want your winter
apples to keep well you must carefully observe
the four following things :
1. See that the surfaco or outside of your
-apples are perfectly free from moisture before
you store them away.
2. Avoid putting them in a damp place
where moisture can have access to them.
8. Exclude them from the air by burying
them in dry earth, the drier the better, or cov
ering them in thee cllar with such earth.
4. Keep thciu in as cool a temperature as
possible, but so as to avoid frost ; for heat,
uir and moisture are the three active agents
that must, when acting in concert, soon beat
and rot your apples. And the same is equally
true of winter pears and also of all our root
crops, such as cabbage, carrots,parsnips, boots,
turnips, potatoes, etc.
CorrtE tiiat is Beaten in a Mortar. It is
not genorally known that coffee which has been
beaten, is better than that which has been
ground. Such, however, is the fact ; and in
his brief article on the subject, Savarin, gives
what he considers the reasons for the difference.
As ho remarks, a mere decoction of green cof
fee is a most insipid drink, but carbonization
develops the aroma, and an oil, which is tho
peculiarity of the coflee we drink. He agrees
with other writers, that the Turks excel in
this. They employ no mills.biit beat tho berry
with wooden pestles in mortars. When long
used, these pestles become precious,and bring
great prices. He determined by actual experi
ment which of tho two methods was tho best,
lie burned carefully a pound of good Mocha,
and separated it into two equal portions. The
one was passed through tho mill, the other
beaten after the Turkish fashion in a mortar.
J le made coffee of each. Taking equal weights
of each and pouring on an equal weight of
boiling water, he treated them both precisely
alike. He tasted the coffee himself and caused
other competent judges to do so. The unani
mous opinion was that coffee beaten in a mortar
was far better than that ground in a mill.
ForR Cnn-DREs Burnt to Death. On Mon

after dark; a most distressing accident occured
in Ferguson township, in this county. It ap
pears that Mr. Nicholas Tubbs and his wife

distance from their home, taking with them
their youngest child and leaving tho lour older
ones at home. Some time after their arrival
at the school-house, the alarm was given that
their house was on fire. On reaching the

1 COEBESPOTTDEITCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
C - Maryland, Oct. 19, 1861.
S. J. Bow, Esq: Dear Sir : 1 bad no
thought when I left Clearfield, that by this
time I would be away down here on the bor
ders of "Secessia," but so it is. One advant
age I derive from my present position is, that
I see the iniquity of Secession in a light I
never could have seen it in, if I had remained
in the interior of Pennsylvania, and, I also
understand the hollow cry of "Peace," as I
could not have done in any other position.
The truth is, and it cannot be denied,
the Peace Party is the Secession Party. It
originated in this State, and with the very
men who were formerly out and out Seces
sionists; but finding they could not get the
State out of the Union, they, all at once be
came as docile as lambs, and began to cry
Peace ! Peace ! Yes, the very men that head
ed the Baltimore riots of tho 19th of April,
and caused the streets of that city to run with
the blood of loyal citizens of the United
States, are the men who are now heading this
"Peace Party !!" and the cry is taken up by
some sflly Doves in the Democratic party
North. Now, friend Row, you know I am a
Democrat, but as Bitch, 1 prefer to follow the
lead of such men as Holt, Johnson, Dix, Dick
inson, Butler, &c, to that of such weak kneed
Democrats as those who are afraid to support
the Government in its struggle for existence,
lest they might be thought to support a Repub
lican Administration. Nonsense! I am with
the administration in all its efforts to put down
this unholy and wicked Rebellion, heart and
soul and for this I may lie called Republican,
Democrat, or whatever people see proper to
call me. I shall not quarrel about that. It
will be time enough to talk about party when
the war is over, and every traitor to his coun
try has received his just doom. But, I do
think, that of all traitors, those in the North
who are crippling the Government by the silly
cry of "Peace," at such a time as th!s, are the
most mischievous. They ought to go South
at once and take up arms with their brethern.
"A secret enemy is worse than an open foe."
I remain yours truly under
tho "Stars and Stripos," T.
Falls Crrr, Nebraska Territory,
October 11th, 1861. j
Friend Row : We had stormy times hero
for the last ten days, in our usually quiet
neighborhood. But things have turned out
more amusing than serious. Tho Jay-flawk-ers
(a term well understood here, but, per
haps, imperfectly known at a distance from
the scene of their action,) have been having a
good time and reaping a rich harvest in parts
of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. In the
first place, I will define a "Jay-hawker" to be
an unconditional Union man, fearing neither
"man, the flesh or the devil ;" a violent ene
my and general terror to secessionists and trai
tors wherever found. A few days ago, a com
pany of about 75 of these "Rough and Readys"
went from Kansas and Nebraska into Missouri,
for the purpose of making calh on the afore
said secessionists and traitors, in a hot bed of
secessionists in that troublesome State. The
company was absent about a week, during
which time they paid their respects to a large
number ot the wealthiest and most respeetable
of the barbarians in the ncjjghborhood of their
operations. Many of these, it is said, volun
tarily came into camp and took the oath of al
legiance to the Uuited States; others took
the oath very reluctantly, after they had been
captured. In most cases, all suspected par
ties, and all such as did not come to camp to
take the oath, were requited to give up all
firearms and ammunition in their possession,
and promise hot to disturb Union men either
in person or property thereafter. After rep
rimanding and punishing the "disloyal pukes'
to their satisfaction, they concluded, alter
each man had supplied himself with two choice
"disloyal horses," to decamp and pitch their
tents once more upon free soil. It would be
saying but little to say that the company was
splendidly mounted and equipped. The
were not only willing and anxious but are real
ly spoiling for a fight with the barbarous
Pukes. After the "boys" had left the slave
cursed soil, the .Pukes by much lying,
threatening and sweating, got up a company
composed of part Union, and a part Sesceh
which ontnumbire.l the Jay-htwkers, about
four to one, and actually crossed the Missouri,
River and "invaded the sacred soil of Nebras
ka." A number of Missouri State troops un
der Gov. Gamble's proclamation," who were
furnished with United States muskets, were
invited to join the expedition on the repre
sentations of the Pukes that the Union, men
and secessionists had been robbed indiscrimi
nately. The Pukes, fcc, approached Falls
City in force and battle array, sweating like
"our army in Flanders." They surrounded
tho town in "less than no time," and would
permit no egress therefrom. It so happened
that no Joy-hawkers were about at the time,
though they were encamped some three miles
distant, and in full view of our town. The
Pukes soon scented them out and got on
their track. But the boys understood their
business to perfection, and when the enemy
was within two miles of them, they put spurs
to their horses, and off they went at Rail Road
speed. They did not wish to give fight,owing
to the fact that the Union men would necessa
rily suffer very severely, as they could not
distinguish between them in a general fight.
So they took a wiser and better course. They
retreated into Kansas about six miles. The
Pukes pursued and camped at a large house
in Pedonia. The Jay-hawkers were wide
awake, and during the night prepared to give
them "fits." The Jay-hawkers, unknown to
the other party, camped within about twenty
rods of them. Before morning the Jays had
large reinforcements collected, and about day
break they drew up in line of battle, the same
number of men mustered by the enemy, and
demanded an instant fight or an unconditional
surrender. The Union men in company with
the Pukes could not be induced to fire on the
old flag of our country, which waved in tri
umph at the head of the column of Jay-hawkers,
and they were willing to surrender ; which
they did with a will. Secesh were compelled
to do the same. There they were, prisoners,
stripped of every thing they had, "strangers
in a strange land," away from home and out
of money, and surrounded on all sides by
Union men, compelled to travel all day with
out anything to eat, and that too in the ene
my's country. The number of horses captured
and which fell to the boys, amounted to fifty
or sixty. They got large numbers of revol
vers and guns, and other things of value.
The Union men wero allowed to retain their
guns and horses', and were sent on their way
rejoicing at their own success and the mis
fortune of the barbarians. The best part of
the joke was, that all of Secesh were requir
ed to take the oath of allegiance or remain
prisoners of war, to bo sent to St. Joseph.
Two of them, however, who bad been in the
battle of Lexington, Missouri, on the Secesh
side, were retained as prisoners of war, and
taken to St. Joseph. All, with the exception
of the two prisoners, took-the required oath
and started home wiser if not better men. Cap
tain Buchanan of the Jay-hawkers, is an old
Kansas fighter, and is well acquainted with
the country in this region. He set the trap
for the enemy, led them into it, and had them
fast before they were aware of his presence.
Since then the Jay-hawkers have pursued their-
calling around here and in parts of Missouri,
almost unmolested. Several Secessionists
bare been Jay-hawked in Richardson county,
within a week past, and now they are tb
loudest in their laudations of the Union. It is
next thing to impossible to find a Secessions1
in this part of the county now ; so we can safe
ly say, that the heresy has been, to all out
ward appearance, fully abandoned.
The roads through here, for the last two
months, have been completely lined with wag
ons, cattle and horses, belonging to the emi
grants or refugees from Southern oppression.
It is really a sorrowful sight to see the poor,
distressed and sickly families passing along
seeking a safe retreat from the barbarities
practiced upon them in Southern Missouri and
Arkansas. Most of them have lost every thing
they posessed. Of course they, had to leave
their crops behind them, where they were not
destroyed so they are now houseless and
homeless wanderers, dependent on the uncer
tain charities of strangers for their.winters
support. It is to be hoped that the liberali
ties of the Northern people, always proverbial,
will relieve the wants and sufferings of these
poor and wretched people as they did in Kan
sas in 1860. Charity can now be practiced
without being abused. Now the recipients of
our favors will be real subjects of charity.
May their sufferings speedily cease, and their
wants soon be supplied.
Yours very respectfully, E. S. D.
PROCLAMATION.
Pennsylvania, ss : In the name and by the
authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of said
Commonwealth.
Whereas, every good gift is from above,
and comes down to us from the Almighty, to
whom it is meet, right and the boundeu duty
of every people to render thanks to His mer
cies; therefore I, Andrew G. Curtin, Govern
or of Pennsylvania, do recommend to tie
people of this Commonwealth that they set a
part, Thursday, 28A of November nea t, as a
day of solemn thanksgiving to God for having
prepared our corn and watered our furrows,
and blessed the labors of the husbandman,
and crowned the year with His goodness ; in
the increase of the ground and the gathering
in of the fruits thereof, so that our barns arc
filled with plenty ; and for having looked fa
vorably on this Commonwealth, and strength
ened the bars of her gates and blessed the
children within her, and made men to be of
one mind, and preserved peace in her borders.
Beseeching Him, also, on behalf of these U
nited States, that our beloved country may
have deliverance from these great and appa
rent dangers wherewith she is compassed and
that he will mercifully still the outrage of
perverse, violent, unruly and rebellious peo
ple, and make them clean hearts, and renew a
right spirit within them, and give them grace
that they may see the erroi of their ways, anl
bring lorth fruit meet for repentance; and
hereafter in all godliness and honesty, obedi
ently walk in His holy commandments, and in
submission to the just and manifest authority
of the republic, so that we, leading a qui&t
and peaceable life, may continually off. r unto
Him our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.
Given under my hand and the great
l. s.
seal of the State, at Ilarrisburg, this six
teenth day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one,
and of the Commonwealth the eighty-sixth.
By the Governor, A. G. Curtis.
Eli Slifeb, Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Remarkbble Court Martial. The Fifth
New Jersey Regiment, Col. Starr, is perform
ing guard duty in the city of Alexandria, and
officers and men seem to have been active in
promoting union sentiments with the fair sex.
(The editor of the Trenton paper, writing from
there, says one of the lieutenants had a Deau
tif nl lady whom he introduced as his wife, and
no one suspicioned anything wrong. It appear
ed, however, that he had put her off from day
to day on a promise of marriage, and at last
becoming angry, he disavowed her altogether,
refusing even to give her funds to return to
her friends in tho South. She appealed to the
court martial for redress, and, says the editor:
After listening to tho evidence, the judge
ment of the court was, that he should forth
with make the lady his lawful wife, and give
her an order on the Government Paymaster
for one-half the amount due him beii g some
$100. He refused at first to abido by the
judgment of tho court, when his sword was
I roniply taken from him, and a guard ordered
to take him in charge. This cooled him
down wonderfully, and after a little further
reflection he decided to abide the decision.
A clergyman was sent for the two were law
fully united in matrimony, in the presence of
some twenty witnesses the husband gave the
order on the U. S. Paymaster for half his wa
ges congratulations were exchanged among
all present in the court room, and all went
their wa' rejoicing, save the husband, who
went off a little nettled, though a "second
sober thought" will, we think, doubtless bring
him around all right. Some twenty other
cases were disposed of through the day in - a
like peremptory manner.
Importation of Arms. The United States
continue to import from England and the con
tinent large qnantities of arms and munitions
of war. During the months of September and
October, the receipts ot these articles have
measurably increased. The importation is
confined to guns, rifles, &c, but includes can
non, shells, shot, camp-kettles and cartridges.
The Bremen, which arrived from Southamp
ton at New York on the 16th of October,
brought one invoice of one hundred and forty
one cases of cannon, shell aud shot, together
with the necessary fuses and friction tubes,
destined for General Fremont. These arti
cles were immediately forwarded to St. Louis,.
The value of tho invoice, exclusive of duty,
is about $140,000. The duties amounting to
about $4,200, are of course remitted, the
goods being for the use of the government.
The Bavaria which arrived Oct. 10th, brought
a large invoice of guns. The invoice consist
ed of 269 cases, containing 6,222 guns, valued
at $52,000 or about 3,50 per gun. These
were sent to the arsenal at Bridesburg, Penn
sylvania, near Philadelphia. The same ves
sel brought swords, rifles, &c, for Gen. Fre
mont's army. In addition to these arms, a
large number of Enfield rifles have recently
arrived by the Edinburg, Kangaroo, and City
of New York.
The Proportion of the Rebellion. The
proportion of the rebellion can only be judged
by compairing the strength of the armies on
both sides with those engaged in other modern
wars. In the Crimean war there were about
three hundred thousand men on both sides,
and in the Italian war about four hundred
thousand, while we have about seven hundred
thousand Union and rebel troops in the field.
No wonder that a war of such magnitude
shakes all Europe, and indeed the whole world.
And yet it is only just began. The engage
ments thus far have been mere skirmishes.
At present no one can fortell what the end of
all this chaos will be ; but we know that from
it will emerge our American republic one
and indivisible. We must succeed. We can
not fail to succeed in this war, no matter if we
have to fight a foreign foe as well as our own
rebels. The little old republic of France beat
back alljEurope and stifled its own traitors at
the same time. In every resource, material
and indespensible, of war, wo excel the old
French republic. Shall such a country as this
fall, wbcu little Francs triumphed ? Never.
The Latest News.
Received by Tuesday Evening's Mail.
New Creek, Va., Oct. 27. Brigadier-General
Kelly marched from this point on Friday
night, and attacked the rebels, entrenched
at Romney, yesterday afternoon. He routed
the enemy capturing many prisoners, three
pieces of cannon, and all their wagons and
camp equipage. The rebels retreated towards
Winchester. Our loss is trifling ; that of
the rebels has not been ascertained, but it
is believed to be large.
A dispatch from Gen.-Fremont, dated near
Hermansville, Mo., Oct. 26th, says : "Yes
terday afternoon Major Zagoni at the head of
my body guard, made a most brilliant charge
on a body of the enemy drawn up in line of
battle, in their camp, at Springfield, 2000 or
2200 strong. He completely routed them,
cleared them from the town, hoisted the na
tional flag on the Court House, and retired on
a reinforcement which he has already joined.
Our force was 150. This successful charge,
against such very large odds, is a noble exam
ple to the army. Our advance will occupy
Springfield to night. Our loss about 8 killed
and twenty wounded."
The Naval expedition which has just sailed,
is composed of 82 vessels of all classes. They
carry, besides their full crews, between 30,
000 and 40,000 picked soldiers, half of them
the best trained troops of Gen. McCIellan's
command. The expedition has aboard every
thing that may be needed, even down to fire
brick to build furnaces for heating shot. Its
destination is not known, but we may soon
expect to hear of some important and exciting
news. This is the largest expedition ever
sent afloat by the United States.
From information received, it would appear
that the rebels near Leesburg, on Monday the
21st, expected a general engagement, and
therefore fought desperately to defeat.Col.
Baker before he could be reinforced. After
tho battle, the rebels rapidly hurried up their
reinforcements, and at latest advices their
force was estimated at from 100,00C to 150,
000 men at Leesb irg and Waterford.
At latest accounts Price was still retreating
towards Arkansas. Many of his men are dis
satisfied at the prospect of leaving Missouri.
It is also reported that Gen. Johnston has left
Kentucky to take command of Price's forces,
and that Price should not give battle until
Johnston arrived. Wo may look for some
hard fighting in Missouri.
The rebel steamer George Page has been
cruising about in the Potomac, in the part
covered by the rebel batteries, throwing shells
into the camps of Gen. Sickel's division, on
tho Maryland shore, in such a lively manner
that our troops were obliged to fall inland a
short distance.
Several Western Senators and Governors
are at Washington, and all are urging the re
tention of General Fremont in his command
in Missouii. His case is considered settled
for the present, and he will not be removed.
An "overland express" is now running be
tween Washington and Baltimore, the railroad
not being able to convey all the freight. Fifty
wagons started the first day.
Gen. McCall has been entirely- exonerated
from the charge made in certain journals that
he retreated from Drainesville after the battle
of Ball's Bluffbegan.
The telegraph to San Francisco has been
completed, and a message has been sent over
the whole line direct to New York.
