- ,A Sad Affair. On last Wednesday even
ing, the 5th, the wife of Thomas Liddell of
this place, whilst laboring under a temporary
; derangement of tho mind, committed snicide,
'during a visit to her parents (Mr. Johnson's)
residing in Jordan township. Mrs. L. had been
- unwell, but under the treatment ol a physician
was improving. For several days she express
ed a belief that her child was getting poor on
Account of her sickness, and said it would die ;
and it is supposed that under this apprehen
sion she committed tho fatal deed, by cutting
bet throat with a razor. The family was ab
sent from the room at the time. A more affec
tionate family did not reside in the county.
The occurrence has cast a gloom over the
whole neighborhood where they reside ; and
all deeply sympathize with tile "parents and
. husband in their sad bereavement. ?
What is in the Bedroom. If two persons
are' to occupy a bedroom during anight let
" them step upon weighing scales as they retire,
then again in the morning, and they will lind
that their actual weight is at least a pound
less iu the morning. Frequenlty there will be
a loss of two or more pounds, and the average
loss throughout tho year will be more than one
pound. That is, during the night there is a
loss of a pound of matter gone from their bod
ies, partly from the lungs and partly through
tho pores of the skin. The escaped material
is carbonic acid, and decayed animal matter,
or poisonous exhalations. This is diffused
through the air in part, and in part absorbed
Ly the bed clothes. If a single ounce of wood
or cotton be burned in a room, it will so com
pletely saturate the room with smoke that one
can hardly breathe, though there can only bo
one ounce of foreign matter in tho air. If an
ounce of cotton b-j burned every hour during
the night, the air will be dBntinually saturated
with smoke unless there be an open door or
window for It to escape. Now the sixteen
- ounces of smoke, thus formed, is far less poi
sonous than the sixteen ounces of exhalations
from the lungs and bodies of two persons who
have lost a pound in weight during the eight
hours of sleeping, for while the dry smoke is
mainly taken into the lungs, the damp odors
from the body are absorbed both into the lungs
and into the pores of the whole body.
Need more be said to show the importance
--' of having bedrooms well ventilated and of
thoroughly airing the sheets, coverlids and
mattresses, in the morning before putting up
in the form of a neatly made bed. Perhaps
the worst of all bedroom evils is the feather
bed but according to the notion of some, if it
ia old and dirty it Is so much the better if it
was slept on by a great-grandmother, and has
absorbed tho exhalations of the body, th
disease ana decomposition of three genera
tions, it is a capital bed. A grand mistake.
Being an insulation against the tree circula
tion of the electric forces of the system, and
being a body of constantly decaying animal
matter, a feather, bed is the worst of all couches
to sleep upon. A person of good health and
vigorous constitution will never rise from one
without feeling a weakness which takes hours
to recover from. The moisture and vitality of
the system has been absorbed without being
replaced by an equal amount of life capital ;
and particularly when the room is poorly ven
tilated will tho destructive and weakening in
fluences ol the feather bed be felt. Our ad
vice is to discontinue their use entirely.
Camp Crossmax, Nov. 4th, 18G1.
Mr. b. J. llow : Dear Sir: We feel it
our duty to write a lew lines in regard to our
camp ana captains OgdcnandUurby, and hope
yttu wiU do us the kindness to publish the
same in the Journal. '
We are daily receiving reports by persons
coming into camp and by mail, that Captain
Ogden had sold his men to Capt. Curby ; and
again that Capt. Curby had sold his men to
Capt. Ogden. Now, for the good of thecuse
in which we- are engaged, wo wish to say to
the people of Clearfield county, that Captains
Ogden aud Curby are- too much of gentlemen
to be guilty ol such a trick as is attributed to
them. This foul-mouthed trash only shows
to us that there is still sufficient Secesli in the
county to hatch up stories to hurt the good
cause. Some of these even went so far as to
write to some of the soldiers at or near Wash
ington that Capt. Ogden had sold his men at
from 50 to 80 cents a piece, and then went to
the Clearfield county Fair and took a spree on
the bead of it. Now, we a soldiers, are con
fident that this ill-disposed trash does not in
jure those that it is aimed at ; and we only re
gret that Clearfield eounty is the homo of
those who are guilty of thus stigmatizing the
characters of tho men, who but a few weeks
-since bid adieu to all that is near and dear,
and have gone forth in defence of our com
mon country.
A Mr. F. was in our camp a few days since
and complimented the Clearfield boys as
though bo was their warmest friend. Bui, wp
now understand that he too is engaged in try
ing to injure our efforts to get men to fill our
company. All we have to say to him, or any
-others who have no other object in. view but
peculate off the soldiers and seek office is,
that they had better stay at home and mind
their own business, as we have plenty of men
here to attend to ours. i
We also wish to inform your readers, that
we have everything here that a good soldier
c?:i wish for. We have beans, bacon, beef,
'cei potatoes, molasses, bread, and hot coffee
Dree times a-day and plenty of sugar to tweet
n,'t. Our uniforms were here some time since,
hut ourjColonel did not accept of them, as they
'ero of rather an inferior quality. Our over
eats are now in Huntingdon, and before the
eek will close, wo expeet to have our whole
uniform, and one too that we need not be
'warned of. Voura truly,

: . - - r JOHN C.-rEEUONT.
. Whatever other laults may belong to the
character of John C Fremont, an over-ween-tng
self-esteem is not ou of them. It may be
that he is too proud to be vain for vanity and
pride do not often go together but certainly
he has none of that self-love which is quick to
take offense, and so apt to lead its possessor
to rash aud ill-judged, and sometimes to crim
inal acts for his own justification. It may be
that be is not great enough for tho military
command of the Western District ; that he
wants experience, judgment, energy, and that
insight into character which-would be a safe
guard against his surrounding himself with dis
honest men. On these points we have nothing
to say here, for it is on such charges that he
is arraigned by the Government. But surely
it is not improper for us to affirm that if he is
not great enough for that command, he is, at
least, great in his removal from it. "lie that
" ruleth his spirit is better than be-that tafceth
"a city."
For in truth it seldom falls to the lot of man
to be placed iu a position more trying than his.
It is not within the range of possibility that be
believes himself guilty on those points where
of he is accused ; for, if that were the case, he
would long ere this have relinquished his
command voluntarily. However wise and
just the Government may be ; however wrong
Gen. Fremont may be, most assuredly his con
fidence In his innocence is uuwavering, aud
he looks unon himself as an injured man.
The order for his removal comes to him at tho
head of an army in the field an army of 40 ,
000 men. every one of whom is bound to him
with a personal devclion and attachment such
as has been rendered to no commander oi any
country excent Napoleon. It is something
that he should obey tho order for retiring
without a murmur, though we trust there is no
General in the service who would not have
been eciuallv nromut in obedience to such a
duty. But it is not only that he was at th
head of such an army, so bound to him by that
peculiar influence which he wields over all
who become his followers ; but he was on the
eve of a battle, long looked for and longed for
The enemy whom he had followed for hun
dreds of miles ; the enemy by whose defeat the
countrv for weeks had told bim he might jus
tify himself ; the enemy who, with fire and
sword, had made a State a desert, was at
length before him, and about to be delivered
to bis bow and spear. In the temper of that
army at whose head he stood, not merely
General, but a beloved chief, he could have
fanned the spark of mutinv who can doubt
it? into the flame of rebellion by a word
Was the word spoken 1 Was there even the
thought of speaking it ? Clearly not. 'Sol
diers !" he says, "I take leave of yon. 1 re
" cret to leave you sincerely. I deeply re
" arret that I shall not have the honor to lead
"you to that victory y on are about to win. W
" have grown up together, and 1 have become
" familiar with your brave and generous
spirits. I thank von lor your regard and
confidence."
If there is in all this a shade of sadness
there is, much more, a tone of unbounded
trust in the personal relations and the sense of
duty that bound them together, r or, he says
" Continue us you, have begun, and give to my
successor the same cordial and enthusiastic
" biipport with which you have encouraged
" me. Emulate the splendid example which
jou have already before you, and let me re
" main, as 1 am oroud of the n.ble army which
" I have thus far labored to bring together
Measure these words by the temptation whicl
the times, the circumstances, and the hour,
would have been to common men, aud they
are simple noble and sublimely right. There
was no temptation for him to trample under
his teet. because it is in the character of the
man to forget himself and remember his duty
lie had no self-lovo and no ambition to justify,
but rememberinz that the enemy, whom he

his side an armv whom his lightest word
could swav, he bade thnm follow their appoint
ed leader to victory, claiming only the right
to share with them their triumph. There are
not many instances in history of such entire
abnegation.
Whatever, then, may be the result of the
court-martial which, will bcaccorded to Geti
Fremont, the praise, at least, is due him of
being a man who can fall with dignity, and
without losing, at the moment ot great and
sudden trial, his keen sense of solf-re3pect,
aud of his duty to his country. Whatever
may be his faults as a General, if shall be
proved that he has any, the strength and the
purity of his patriotism even the best among
us may emulate. Even his enemies who have
expected, perhaps hoped, a diilerent course of
conduct in him, must, at last, give him credit,
at leasr, for the integrity of his character and
purposes. i. Y . Tribune.
HOW THE REBELS BOAST AND MANAGE
The public havo little conception of the
wiles aud artifices which a powerful and un
scrupulous foe will resort to to carry out its pur
pose. The rebel leaders havo so much at stake,
and thev know so well tho fate that ..waits
them at the hands of deceived millions if" they
fail, that they resort to the most desperate
expedients to accomplish the "foreign recogni
tion" they are constantly promising to their
obedient white slaves of the south.
A gentleman of New York city had occasion
recently to visit Montreal, and while there,
stopped at the Donegan Hotel. lie found tho
house filled with jubilant secessionists, wno
loudly boasted that ere long Fiance aud En
gland would recognize the Confederate govern
ment, and that the recent increase of the En
glish force in Canada was a part of the propo
sed programme. The gentleman in question,
a prominent merchant of New York, being a
foreigner and speaKing witu a siigui accent,
heard more of their plans than they would
have been willing to divulge to one who was
supposed to be a " l ankee and Lincolnite."
To his surprise ho found that a nephew of
Beauregard's received letters from the General
every two days, addressed to the President of
the Bank of Montreal ; others of the samo kind
received letters with equal regularity, lie
became well acquainted with Gen. Magruder,
who with his family, has passed into Canada
without the slightest difficulty, there was
one man there wno was looKea upon wun sus
picion by the southerners. When tho New
Yorker reached Kouse's Point on ins return,
this person politely informed him that he must
search hiui.as he seemed to have been intimate
with the southern rebels at Montreal. This
official, if he had kept a bright lookout pre
viously, might have discovered the rebel Ma
gruder, who quietly lett the cars before they
reached the Point, and, in company , with an
ex-Governor of Rhode Island, rode off in a
iebt wagon. Tho informant met Magruder in
New York, and says that he boasted that their
Generals knew every plan of our Cabinet, and
A. A. I
no power under neaven couia prevent mem
from getting all the details they wislied. The
Geueral remarked with great emphasis, "We
have our . friends in all the departments in
Washington, and we know how to keep them
there."
The informer is a man of decided intelli
gence, and his statements are worthy of trust.
He says that tho southerners in Montreal have
abundance of money ; they have their families
with them, and they get all the luxuries they
want from New York. They boast that they
can outbid the federal government in Europe,
and that very largo advances havo been made
by nominal British sympathisers, who long tt
see the Republic torn up by the roots. They
instanced the case of the Bermuda as an evi
dence of what they intended to do, and said
that theBuccessful entrance ot such a vessel
into the port of Savannah was worth a great
victory on the field to them. Much of this is
mere boasting, but it has its eflcct. ' - ' .

Whereas, every good gift is from above,

" C0BEESP0NDENCE OF THE "JOITENAL."
. Camp Pierpoist, Fairfax Co., Va
. i; - November 2nd, 1861.
. Dear Row : Since I wrote to vou . from
Camp Tennally, I have heard from you twice,
through the columns of tho Journal, which
coming as it does, solitary and alone to this
part of the camp, is indeed a welcome guest ;
and it contributes no little to drive away tho
ennui and monotony of camp life, and to bring
to the soldier, who is separated from home
and friends, good news or evil, as the case
may be. it is true, however, as far as the
stirring events of the day are concerned, that
no paper, coming from an interior locality,
can bring news of that character which would
be of much interest in camp, as they are en
tirely superceeded by the dailies, which do
not fail to make their appearance here as often
as the sun rises ; but, coming as they do, from
home, bearing news of a local nature,they are
of intrinsic value to the soldier as faithful
chroniclers ot home events. As such 1 greet
the Journal, coming from my adopted home,
its contents are indeed interesting and are de
voured with avidity, not only by myself, but
by others from Clearfield who are with me, and
by many that Clearfield never knew. May it
continue to come! for it speaks the senti
ment! of the brave men who are now in Dixie's
land, in an enemy's country, for the purpose
of maintaining our government, and uphold
ing the glorious ensign of liberty ; whether it
be assailed by rebels and traitors, either North
or South. Let it come ! it bears its own re
commendation upon its face, which is suscep
tible of no doubtful interpretation. I wish I
could say the same in truth for ot' er papers I
wot of, but I cannot. Justice, aim many brave
men in the army, forbids me to do it. -
I shall not weary you with adetail of the in
cidents of our tripjhere, nor will I attempt to
follow up the events which have transpired
sinco . we came ' here ; time and space for
bids it at present. But, allow me to notice
briefly some of our doings, which, although of
no general interest, may be of some to Penn
sylvanians, for if it does riot result in the kill
ing of rebels, directly.it adds to the efficiency
of our men, so that if an opportunity presents
itself j for doing anything in that line, they
will be enabled to perform it according to the
improved rules ot modjjrn science. Last
.Monday Gen. .McCall had a review of about 6
of the Reserve regiments. I noticed that the
5th was among them. The troops looked well
and performed the various evolutions in a way
that reflected great credit upon tho officers who
are entrusted with their training. I noticed
several prominent officers present, among
whom , were Generals McCall and Reynolds,
and others whose names I have forgotten. On
Tuesday there was a general review of the
whole Reserve corps, including infantry, cav
airy and artillery. It was a tine spectacle,
and it'ihe minions of Davis & Co., could havo
seen the enthusiasm of our troops, (of which
this Division forms only a fraction) they would
be convinced of the hopelessness of theircause,
1 think, and lay down their arms in despair.
From my position on the field I had no oppor
tunity to see who the u-orlhies were. We pass
ed them once during the review on a full run
and had not military courtesy forbid us turn
ing our heads to see who was looking at us, I
might have seen who some of them were. It
was understood in the morning that Gen. Mc
Clellan was to be present, but be was not here.
1 presume he has business of more importance
to engage his attention.
Nothing of interest happened on Wednes
day. I was in Washington on Wednesday,
but as I was there on duty I had no opportu
nitv of looking around as I should liked to
have dono ; we returned to camp about 8 o'
clock. Thursday there was an inspection of
the 1st Pennsylvania Artillery of Col. Camp
bell. He hadjthree batteries out, in all 16 guns
which made a fine appearance.' They were in
spected by Gen. Barry, Chief of Artillery
The batteries stood a very creditable examina
tion, which reflects much credit upon the offi
cers in command. They are able military
men, and should the 1st artillery havo an op
portunity, it will make its mark so unmistak
ablv plain, as will leave no doubt of its effi
ciency. The men who belong to it are men of
nerve, and know their duty thoroughly, and
will not hesitate to perform it in the face of
any opposition.
We have lately had some very heavy frosts
here, which have been very sensibly felt in
camp, and show at once that the Old Domin
ion is not exempt from such visitors ; they
step unbidden into our white houses, and warn
us to prepare for the hoary gentleman that fol
lows close in their wake. Some of the boys
have profited by the admonition and have dug
trenches through their tents lengthwise, over
which stone are placed, forming a flue, which
upon being heated on the outside, and the
heat passing under is communicated tc the
tent making it very comfortable. To day we
have a regular old fashioned storm of wind
and rain ; it pours through our tents, to wind
ward, in streams, so that it is uncomfortably
damp, with no prospect of it "abating soon.
The soldiers are getting tired of camp life,
that is Btaying in one place, and are anxious
to be on the move towards the "sunny south;"
the fact is, that if there is anything to be done
before winter sets in, it must be done soon.
There is already beginning to be some specu
lation among tho men as to where our winter
quarters will be ; some think we will recross
the river to Washington, and not a few have
the idea that we will go to Harrisburg, but I
believe neither will be the case. I am one of
those that would rather take quarters in Rich
mond, at least, or know the reason why.
There is nothing of a fighting character
going on here, nor has there been for some
time, and as there is often the most violent
storms following a calm, I should not be sur
prised that ere long, one of the most strategi
cal warlike movements tuat has ever taken
place in the annals of modern warfare, will be
heralded throughout the length and breadth
of the land. As ever yours, W. R. B.

much rejoicing everywhere, still it is not cer
tain that so much has been achieved as report
ed. The news comes through a rebel source.
The gunboat Union was wrecked near Bague
Inlet. She is a total loss. The crtw, 73 in
number, were taken prisoners by the robels,
and are now at Fort Macon, N. C.
A report is also current that our troops had
bombarded Charleston, but this is rather
doubtful.
. A number of rebel regiments are said to
have gone South from the lower Potomac
The report that Gen. McClellan had ordered
four sentiuels to be shot, is unfounded.
