1Iaki Times asd Dogs. A good dog, to ono
whose business requires a guard of this quality,
is a desirable convenience ; and a pretty dog,
to one who -can afford to support it, may be
.regarded as an inaoccnt ornament but for an
ugly, growling, meat eating cur, there can be
no sort of use. Almost every famiiy,scarccly
provided with bread for the children, has at
ached to it one or more bony, lank, half
litarved puppies, which, like the . leau kind of
Pharaoh, devour, if not tho children, at least
that which would, often allay their hunger
Useless dogs are a public evil.

A Cairo loiter In the St. LouU Republican
makes itase interesting statemonts :
Five hundred negroes are at work throw

aim heavy guns will soon be mounted upon
tlmni. Precisely similar news came from
Columbus two or three months ngo. That
j'lace was then, as New Madrid has been latelv.
ostirely unprotected, and presenting a fair
field of occupation for Union troops. The
latter had to remain idle in their camps, while
a Wrong position but a few miles beyond and
directly in the path they would soon have to
pursue was being rendered as impregnable as
it and labor could make it. Now, Columbus
stitids a formidable barrier to any descending
fleet, and will, in the estimation of military
Jien, be won cheaply if costing only a couplo
ol hundred lives. .Now that place has been
made so strong, Confederate attention is di
rected to another point, where they can also
stand behind bat.terries, which strengthen
pels already having many natural defences.
And the Confederate labor is performed by
'bondsmen, while the Union volunteers have to
throw up their own breastwork. Price, with
a formidable army, is stilt active and unharm
ed, while the forces gathered at Columbus and
New Madrid cannot be met successfully by any
Insignificant army. Tho foe is increasing in
stead of diminishing in numbers, and simply
because he has so far in this section experi
enced but little reversos, and consequently,
Tio demorilization. These are unwelcome
truths, but still none the less apparent, and
tlie sooner government wakes up to the task
More It the tetter. In a few weeks New
Madrid will be among the Confederate strong
holds. .More men have got to be placed in
this department, or tho MississppI war on our
frt bids fair to be a failure."

CE7"OminoHR Coincidence. On the 8th of
November, 1S60, the Federal Qag was hauled
down in South Carolina, and on the 8th day of
November, 1861, it was raised again by the
Federal troops at Beaufort.
STUE ArMIOF THE POTOMAC OOI.NG ISTO WIN
TER Quarters. Such are the present indica
tions, though Gen. McUlelun may design
otherwise. All the troops oi the Maryland
side of the Potomac, in tho vicinity of Darnes
town and Poolcsville, have been ordered into
winter quarters, except such as have been
ordered to other points. . It is reported that
the Pennsylvania Reserves will be wintered
either at Fairfax or Leesburg. Both points
are about equi-distant from the present en
campment. .
A Washington despatch says mat log cau-
ins are going up in all directions along the
lines in Virginia. The men are all liusilv
employed upon these new habitations The
models are as various as are the tastes ot tuc
occupants. Many of the new imiiaings arc
diminutive in size, while others are equal to
the requirements of a comfortable family res
idence of humble pretensions. A large pro
portion of them are built separate, while oth
ers are connected into a "block" or row.
with a division polo between each "mess."
The materials used are poles, averaging six
inches in diameter, and when walled up the
roof is thatched with cornstalks.spruce boughs,
or otiier suitable material, and covered with
earth. The cracks between the poles in the
walls are dossed up with clay. Where large
wood can be conveniently obtained, it is hewn
or split into planks, and tho walls are built of
these.
A'Tocoh One. A correspondent of the In
diana Meisenger states that while Mr. Wm.
Gilmonr of Armstrong township, was hauling
pumpkins from a field, he discovered a land
turtle, held oy one leg oeiwecn a pumpKin
and a stone, where it had been caught by the
rapid growth of the former. The turtle had
been held so long that tbe pumpkin had grown
over it, and shaped a portion of the shell on
its surface. When the vegetable was remov
ed the prisoner was released from his confine
ment, and immediately traveled lor otiier
quarters. Tho story (or the pumpKin) is a
remarkable one.
Accident. A distressing accident occurred
n Bloomfield, Perry county, on Wednesday
a-week. Mr. W. II. Henderson had some
time since bought some powder. It having
cot wet he laid it on the mantlepiece to dry,
and whilst arranging something on the shelf
threw it off a portion falling on the stove.
Mrs. II. took a broom to sweep the powder oil
the stove, when tho whole ignited badly
burninz Mr and. Mrs. H. and a child. The
child died two days thereafter, and Mrs- H. is
in a critical situation. Mr. II. is not neces
sarily dangerous.
Onu ha a rio-ht to exnect an anomalous ter-
ro
ination tn nnoh an anomalous war as this is.
The South is fighting f?r just what they havo
always bad, and the North is fighting to make
them share equal rights and privileges with
nemseives in a perfectly free liovernmcni.
The trial of Liptcn and Hays, In Bellefonte,
for the murder of Foorman in Augnet last.
after occupying the time of the Ceurt the
greater part of last week, resulted in the
acquittal of Uays,aud the conviction of Lipton
ot manslaughter.
The Latest News.
FrtOM the Potomac It appears that the
rebels daily send a scouting, party of from
1000 to 2000 from Fairfax Court House, and
then breaks up into smaller bodies.who attack
our men. On the night of the 4th,Col. Knight
of the 3d New Jersey went with 55 men as far
as Burke's station . ou tho Alexandria and
Orange railroad,where they played a new game
on a rebel squad. They stretched two telegraph
wires across Braddock road and waited the
result. Soon half of a rebel cavalry company
dashed tip on a charge, and the wires unseated
three and threw the rest into confusion. Our
men rushed up and emptied eight saddles,and
took two prisoners; and eight horses galloped
within our lines. Two of our men were woun
ded one of them missing.
Rebel Thefts. An officer writing from
Fort Pickens states that upon application made,
a dozen suits of clothes were sent over to
Pensacola for the "Billy Wilson" men taken
prisoners in the Santa Rosa affair. The day
after, a dozen rebel captains had the clothing
on. It is to be hoped, that the Government
will be more fortunate in sending clothing to
our men held as prisoners at Richmond ; but
men who steal forts, mints, arsenals and arms,
could hardly be asked to hesitate long over o
small a theitas a pair of breeches.
St. Joseph. Gen. Prentiss made a speech
to a large crowd of citizens on the 4th at St.
Joseph, Mo., in which he said, "as God is my
judge, every Secessionist in the city shall take
an oath of allegiance to the United Mates
government and support the Stars and Stripes,
or I will send them to work on the trenches of
Fort Smith. All person who are hereafter
found expressing Secession sentiments shall
take the oath." The speech caused great
consternation among the Secessionists and was
receivedt with applause by the loyal citizens
A Skirmish. Major Bowen had a fight at
Salem, Missouri, with some marauding rebels
under Freeman and Turner. Maj. Bowen
held one end of the town and the rebels tho
other, who, after a brisk fight, were completely
routed. The rebel loss was 10 killed, 30
wounded, beside a large number of prisoners
Our loss was 15 killed and wounded. M.ij
Bowen holds the town, and will be reinforced
some 3000 of tho enemy being in the vicin
ity.
Isteretsixq Interview. Sec. Cameron's
house was the scene of an interesting inter
view on the evening of the 4th. Having en
tcrtained Mr. Russell of. The London Times
with a few friends at dinner, a Congressional
deputation, at the head of which was Vice-
President Hamlin, ivas introduced.- The Sec
retary was congratulated on his position upon
the Slave question. ' Mr. Russell probably
learned in these few moments more of the
country than he ever knew before.
Central America. A Dutch fleet of 11
ve:-3cl3 were to be offLaguira on the 17th of
November, to demand satisfaction from Vene
zuela for having trampled on the Dutch flag
The Dutch Government had concluded to a!
low U. S. vessels of war' to remain in their
ports 48 hours to coal. The West India mail
company, in consequence of the Trent affairs
ordered all their agents to furnish no more
coal (o United States vessels
Another Stone Fleet. A third Stone
fleet is fitting out at New York. It carries
upward of six thousand tuns of stone, and
will be sunk in tho channel between Morris
and Sullivan Island", and other channels in
Charleston harbor. This will have the effect
of ignoring somo of the high "expectations of
the Charlestonians, that their city is to be the
great commercial capital of a Southern Con
federacy.
Letcher's Message. Gov. Letcher in his
messago to the rebel Legislature of Virginia,
expresses much regret that Fortress Monroe
is not in possession of tho rebels. He also
urges a 'forward movement, and says the banks
of the Potomac is not the place to fight, but
the struggle should take place on tho banks of
the Susquehanna. We presume, it will be
some time yet before his wishes will be con
sumated. From Sedalia. On the 4th a party of exas
perated citizens of all parties attacked a gang
of rebels from Price's army, near Dunksburg,
abontSO miles west of Sedalia, killing seven
and wounding ten of the rebels three of the
wounded have since died. None of the citir
zens wero killed or severely wounded. Judge
Birch, who has been a prisoner in Price's camp
for some time, has been released on parole.
From Kentucky. Letters from Somerset
and Stanford say, that the Federal forces un
der Gen. Schoeff have been compelled to re
treat this side of Somerset that the rebels
10,000 strong crossed Cumberland river and
were marching onSomerset , and that men, wom
en and children were leaving in every possible
conveyance for Stanford. Reinforcements
should be sent.
New York City, The charter elections
came ofl in New York City on Tuesday the
3d ; and resulted in the election of George
Opdyke. the Republican candidate as Mayor.
It was a triangular contest and a very close
vote. Opdyke beats Gunther only about 700
votes, and Wood about 1400 votes. This is
tho first Republican Mayor elected in that city.
Terrible Explosion. Engine No. 7, of
the Northern Central Railroad, exploded on
the 5th at Wrightsville, killing the engineer
and fireman almost instantly, and slightly in
juring a girl who was standing near at the
time. The track where the engine sfood was
completely torn up and several houses in the
vicinity much shattered by the explosion.
Government Agent. Lieut. Col. Reynolds
has been appointed resident agent at Port
Royal, under the general regulations relative
to securing and disposing ot the property
found or brought within the territory now or
heretofore occupied by the United States forces
in tho disloyal States. He has been ordered
to report to the Secretary of the Treasury?
Cartridges Issued.-
-It is stated thai bjov. 13,1861.
tween the 1st of July and the 1st of Novem
ber, four months, ten millions of cartridges
for muskets and small arms were issued by the
Ordinance Department to the army on the Po
tomac. This enormous expenditure of car
tridges is due mainly to target practice among
the troops. . , .
.' Rebel Tricks. A gentleman just from
North Carolina reports, that proclamations
purporting to be issued by President Lincoln
are scattered all over" the State, stating that
his object is to murder the women and child
ren, and set the slaves lree for that purpose.
Several copies have been received at Wash
ington, j
Accident. A sad accident happened oh j
board the flag ship Minnesota, on the 7th, at i
Fortress Monroe. A sailor let a block come
down by the run from aloft.which struck Capt.
G.,W. Saltoustall and knocked him overboard.
In hi3 fall he stiuck the side of the propeller j
inflicting injuries that his life is despaired of.
Burning Union Men. Tlie Bowling Green
Courier, Kentucky, says that a party of rebels
went to Franklin to arrest a dozen Unionists.
The latter retired within a house and fired up
on the rebels, killing one, when the remain
der set fire to the house burning, to death all
the Unionists therein, except two. ....
From East Tennessee. The Memphis Ava
lanche says that a great battle occurred at
Morristown, East Tennessee, between 3000
Union forces under Parson Brownlow and a
body of Rebels, in wfiich the Federals were
victorious. The rebel despatch calls it the
first Union victory of the war.
James River. A sharp engagement took
place between several U. S. gunboats and a
rebel steamer on the 2d, about 5 miles above
Newport News. The rebel steamer kept close
to shore, where a powerful battery assisted
her materially. It is not known what damage
sho received.
Col. Kerrigan. The statement that Col.
Kerrigan had been tried and condemmed to
death by a Court martial, turns out to be a
hoax. Ho has not been tried; and when his
is tried, tho offences though disgracing to him,
will not be such as would call for the punish
ment of death.
" The "Silver Grays." This is a volunteer
company composed i entirely of men f over 45
years of age, recruited chiefly in Cambria
county; The company is commanded by Capt.
Palmer, and Lieuts. Teeter and Murray, all
experienced officers. . They are now at Camp
Curtin. , . , T
Locomotive Explosiox. A locomotive draw
ing a freight train on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, when near Newton Hamilton, one day
last week, suddenly exploded its boiler,instant
ly killing the engineer and fireman, and de
stroying a numberof cars attached to the train.
Hon. C. J. Faulkner. It is said that -Mr.
Faulkner is to be released on parole, and that
he is to proceed South and procure the release
of Hon. Alfred Ely. If be is not successful in
this errand, he has promised, to return In SO
days and submit to imprisonment again. V '
From Port Royal. A letter received states
that the 79th New York, made a reconnoisance
towards Charleston and captured three batter
ies. After' spiking the guns they returned,
having approached w-ithin 20 miles of Charles
ton; District of Columbia. A movement has
been made in Congress to abolish Slavery in
the District of Columbia. The genoral im
pression is, that a bill will pass, with proper
restritions to protect the owners of "chattels."
Flotd. It is said that the rebel Flo3"d, had
fallen back ; within 30 miles of the Virginia
and East Tennessee railroad, and that he had
been ordered to another important post of
duty.
Bolivia. The news is deplorable from Bo
livia. The commanding general at La Paz
bad ordered the execution of over 200 persons
recently engaged in revolutionary movements.
A Prisoner. Captain Todd of the Lincoln
Cavalry, and several of his men, who were tak
en at Pohick church, are in prison at Rich
mond. None of them received any injuries.
Fort Pulaski. A rebal dispatch from Sa

sels are now inside of the bar, and an attack
on Fort Pulaski is hourly expected.
Sedalia Gen. Price has moved part ot
his force 5 miles from Osceola, where he has

On Saturday the 7th,a rebel force consisting
of a battery of 6 pieces and 400 infantry and
200 cavalry mado their appearance on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, at dam No. 4
and threw shot at the dam and the houses on
the Maryland shore, burning a barn and riddling
the houses in range. They ceased, firing at
dusk. .
One company of . the Massacuhsctts 13th, on

The Massachusetts;, men having only smooth

During the i night Col. Leonard sent down
another company, armed with Enfield rifles,
who were concealed as skirmishers; and on
Sunday morning when tho rebels came to the
very brink of the river, the riflemen opened
fire upon, and the rebel artillerists had to a-
bandon "their guns in hot haste the' infantry
and cavalry leaving about the same time..
Col. Leonard could" not secure the rebel bat

VULCANITE BASE FOB
ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
Attention i especially called to this article, as" a
substitute for gold in inserting teeth. Many per
sons who have tr rd all kinds of ractalic bases pre
fer this, and in thoso cases where it is applicable,
it will in a great measure become a substitute for
gold, silver or platina. Its chief advantages are,
cheapness, lightness and perfect adoption to tho
mouth ; it having a soft fleshy feel to the parts of
the mouth with which it comes in contact. .
A. M. Hills is prepared to put up teeth on the
Vulcanite Base, with Goodyoar's Patent Gum,
which is the only reliable prepcratiop, and can
only be had throush their regular agents. As
there aro very many kinds of spurious gums in
use, of a very inferior quality it will be well for
persons desirous of procuring teeth on the Vulcan
ite Base to be well acquainted with the moral re
sponsibility of the Dentist they employ.
Persons desiring teeth-will do well to call and
examine specimens, both in and out of the mouth.
Dr. Hills will always be found in his office on
Friday and Saturday, unless notice appears tc tho
contrary, in the town papers, the previous week.
