At Home. We are pleased to learn that
Opt. J. Harvey Larrimcr reached this place,
-on Monday. Capt. L. has been sick for some
time past, and not being able to command his
company has returned to this place to recruit
his health, lie expects, however, soon to re
xume his comrnard again. We wish l.im
success.
The Weather. On Sunday evening we
Jiad quite a change in the atmosphere, and the
fpring-like weather was changed to winter
Hgain. Monday was rough and blustery and
some snow fell. The roads being in toleiable
condition, a few inches more of snow will
make good sleighing an event which is anx
iously looked for by all.
The Harrisbi'ro Daily Teleorapii. Tn"e
Telegraph is one of the best and most ably
edited papers in Pennsylvania, and well de
serves the patronage of the reading public. It
-contains the latest and most reliable news ;
and for this section of tho country is the beet
daily paper published in the east, as it reaches
this place tho same day it is published. The
Telegraph will be published during the session
of the Legislature for $1,00 per copy.
Accident. On last Wednesday, Mr. Fred
erick Gulich met with a rather serious acci
dent. Mr. G. and several otner persons were
.engaged in felling and hewing timoer. A
limb which, had lodged on an adjoining tree,
-was observed to fall, and Mr. G. in attempting
to run away fell and struck his face on some
laurel snags and cut two large gashes in his
forehead, immediately above the eyes. He
was insensible for several hours, but is im
proving as fast as could be expecied.
Reported Deserters. The Lynchburg I'ir
ginian,a rebel paper says that a Maryland regi
ment deserted from Lincoln's army wjth their
arms and equipments, and marched to Centre-
ville. This certainly is news on this side of
the Potomac ; and is only another instance,
shov ing to what extremes the rebels are drove
to holster up their cause in the South. Lying
sj pears to be their game.
What "Mudsills" Undertake. The bri-
gudes of Generals Neagly and IJossau, at last
accounts were stationed at Bacon creek, Ken
tucky. The mechanics in Neagly's Brigade,
including a large number in Colonel 11am
bright's regiment, had taken a contract to re
build the Bacon creek bringe, pledging them
selves to complete the work in forty-eight
hours. An army composed of such material
will not long allow -any obstacles the rebels
may place in their way to impede their south
ward march.
Drafting in the Soitu. A curious fact is
-coming to bo understood in rebeldom with re
gard to those in that region who have always
umlcrated the valor of tho northern people.
These men, it is now discovered, stand aloof
from the "fighting part" of this struggle, con
tent to leave that business to tho "niggers and
the mud sills." The fact is creating some ex
citement and dissatisfaction among those who
have taken up arms, and the confederate rul
ers, to appease this feeling, have ordered a
draft expressly to reach those who thus stand
aloof Irom the rebel array. The idea is a good
.one, simply because these very men who -have
heen for years deprecating the courage of the
people of the north, originated the spirit which
incited tho slavc-driveisto rebel. Whe-n they
nre compelled to meet our brave soldiers we
can begin to entertain hopes of a termination
of the conflict. One encounter with such
brawlers will convince them that northern men
are not cowards, and when this conviction has
fairly entered their heads they will not soon
again be ready to raise their hands against the
Union !
Ready to Give ip Slavery Rather than the
Government. The correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gaeztte, writing from Frankfort, says:
The caucus, the other night, on Federal rela
tions, resulted as I predicted in my despatch
that evening. The general tone was temper
ate ; there was a disposition to iguore tho
Tu;onsof the Message and the War Report
s far as possible, and to uphold tho Govern
ment at all hazards. The resolutions condemn
"e policy of arming the slaves, but make no
other allusion to Cameron. A little incident
that occured during tbo caucus debate illus
trates the temper of the members. The proba
bility that tLe war would end in tho destruc
tion of slavery was alluded to. The strongest
Proslavery man in tho Legislature, and oue of
the largest slaveholders in Kentucky, arose
and said, "As to that, sir, I wish to say, here
"i my place, that if the question comes to that,
ibongh I think it need not, but, if it comes to
that, I will willingly loso every slave in my
Possession rather than see Kentucky prove
tlse to the Government! Perish slavery,
s'r! long livo the Government!" And the
declaration was received by that Kentucky
mucus with a al?o of vociferous cheers !
COBBESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
Letter from A Kambler.
Mm. Editor : If it has never been the lot
of any of your numerous readers to travel on
the Catawissa Railroad, a trip over it is a mat
ter worthy of serious consideration. There
is much to look at and interest the traveler.
Starting at Milton, you pass several thrifty
looking towns, the most important of which,
perhaps, is Dauviile, where the well known
Mountain Iron Works are located, and where
one of the best country papers, the American,
is printed Dr. Brower being an able editor,
and his son, who is associated with him, a su
perior printer. At Rupert station, the Blooms
burg & Lackawanna Railroad to Scranton di
verges, and immediately east of this point, the
North Branch of tho Susquehanna, which is
deeper and less swift than the West Branch,
is spanned by a substantial bridge. Not far
beyond commences that succession of short
curves and high trussle-work, which have, to a
great degree, aided in making the Catawissa
Railroad known far and near. Of the curves,
it is related that a traveler, seeiug a locomo
tive approaching at a swift speed, was no liitle
surprised to find, on rushing to the door, that
itj was the iron-horse which was drawing his
own train. For tho truth of the story, I will
not undertake to vouch ; but that the Cata
wissa is a crooked road, any one can affirm
without fear of successful contradiction.
There are six of the bridges alluded to. They
average, it is said, from 80 to 136 feet in
height. Their construction was a necessity.
The mountain being cut up by narrow defiles,
around some of which it would be impossible
to run a train even if a track were 4laid, the
only thing that coukl be done was to span the
gorges with bridges, which at their immense
elevation, look as if a very slight breeze might
topple them over, and give the inmates of the
cars a marked tendency to nervousness, espe
cially if the train happens to stop about the
time it reaches the middle of the structure.
Thts, however, with the varied.roniantic sccn
ty of the mountain, (Mahanoy, pronounced
Maw-haw-noy,) keeps your mind awake and
and your attention fixed, rendering a journey
interesting that would otherwise be "tedious as
a twice-told tale."
The eastern slope of the mountain is not so
steep or rugged as the western. It lacks also
in interest, until you reach Tamaqua, which
is located in the great coal region, in the
north-eastern part of Schuylkill county. Hav
ing half a day of idle time, a friend volunteer
ed to guide and accompany me to one of tho
burning coal drifts, of which you have doubt
less read. After leaving the outskirts of the
town, a walk of half an hour, through a vast
scope of scrub-oak, brought us to the line of
the drift. We struck it at a poiut where the
fire had ceased to burn, but where the evi
dence of its destructive power were plainly
visible. Largo holes, or rather chasms, caus
ed by the caving-in of the earth above were
numerous. As we passed from one to another,
going east, a little smoke here and there. made
its appearance. Next a stifling sulphurous
odor filled the atmosphere ; then more smoke
could be seen, and finalh , at a distance of
near a mile from where it started, a blight,
glowing fire, fervent enough to melt iron,
could be discerned on the n.rth side of
the chasm, into which large trees had fallen,
and, in some instances, were partly burned up.
For man yards on either side of the lino of
the drilt, the scrub-oaks were killed by the
heat underneath, and, taking everything to
gether, a sight is presented to the beholder,
which will not soon be forgotten.
There are various opinions and theories in
regard to tho origin of the fire. It ts certain,
however, that it commenced, some five or six
years ago, in a pit belonging to the Little
Schuylkill Coal Company. Ac first it was
thought to be a matter of trifling importance,
but soon it became apparent that, unless spee
dily checked, the quantity and value of coal
which mmit inevitably be destroyed, would be
immense. Various expedients were resorted
to for the purpose ot extinguishing the. de
vouring element. The water of the Little
Schuylkill was forced through iron pipe's into
tho pits, but produced no apparent advanta
geous effect. An experiment of applying gas
also failed. The company were, therefore,
quite willing to enter into a contract with a
smooth-tongued fellow, who agreed to "put
out" the fire for $0,000 or get no pay. What
particular plan of operation he adopted, has
escaped my recollection ; nor is it of an' im
portance, for the only thing he succeeded in
accomplishing, was to "put out" of the way a
large number of baskets of champaigne, with
which he was wont to regale himself and have
a good time generally when visited by those
immediately interested in. his labors. The
aggregate amount expended In attempts to ar
rest the progress of the fire, I was informed,
would probably be $30,000.
Night coming on, we started towards town,
which we reached just as twilight was giving
way to darkness, a little wearied, it is true,
but with a well sharpened appetite, which en
abled as to do ample justice to our suppers.
Should any one of your readers get a favorable
opportunity for visiting this burning hill, he
will not regret, I predict, the fatigue that he
will necessarily experience in walking over its
rugged surface. Yours, Rambler.
An Intended Fraud. A very ingenious
piece of villainy, and of a dangerous charac
ter, has just been discovered by an officer con
nected with the naval ordinance bureau. A
fifty -pound semi-steel gun, forged by the
Franklin forge of New York, and bored, rifled
and finished by Messrs. Carpenter & Plass,
was taken to Staten Island for trial proor.wnere,
at the ninth round, it burst. Upon examina
tion it was discovered that, to coyer up some
defects in the base of the bore, an entire false
chamber had been made, and so nicely fitted
in the gun as to defy the most minute detection
until the gun broke. Had this rifle passed
the proof of ten rounds and been received into
the naval service afloat,it would doubtless have
burst and caused loss of lifo, and serious dam
age to the vessel. The forger attributed this
clever piece of villainy to the finishers of the
gun. . .
The Latest News.
From Kentucky. The postmaster at Som
erset writes that Zollicoffer had crossed the
Cumberland river with 7,000 men and was en
trenching himself. Later advices ate that
Gen. Z. vas at Fishing creek with 6,000 men
and f-omo artillery, but had no wagons on this
side of the river, and but indifierent means of
crossing. Gen. Schoeff has seven regiments
and Standart's Ohio and Hewitt's Kentucky
batteries of ten guns 4 rifled, 4 smooth bore
and 2 Parrott guns. The Tennesseans lead
the column and Gen. Schoefl is confident of
whipping the rebels. A battle was expected
The Charleston Fire This was one of
the most extensive conflagrations that has tak
en place in the country for several years
There were five hundred and seventy-six
buildings', burned, and nany thousands of per
sons are left homeless. The Cathedral, St.
Peters, Episcopal, Methodist, and Circular
churches are among tho buildings burned.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars have
been a ppropriated for the relief of the suffer
ers, by the rebel congress.
Our Foreign Relations. According to late
advices from Washington, we learn that the
government despatches concerning the Mason
and Slidell difficulty are of a dignified but
most conciliatory nature. They will satisfy
the English Cabinet that no Insult was intend
ed, and it is thought the whole affair will be
honorably and amicably arranged. It is under
stood, tljt our government admits that there
was a non-compliance, on our part, with cer
tain legal technicalities.
IvtuKLS Stealing Negroes. The Shelby,
Kentucky, News says, that the rebels are stealing
uegroes from the Union men in the border
counties of that State, and are arming and
drilling them for soldiers. It is stated that
they have over two thousand negroes in their
army now, most of whom they have stolen
from the Union men.

. BATTLE AT DUAINE3VILLE.
On Friday morning the 20th, at 6 o'clock,
Gen. Ord started on a foraging expedition to
Drainsville. II is command consisted of four
full regiments ; the Bucktail Rifles, Lieuten
ant Colonel Kane, and Eat son's battery, con
sisting of two twelve pound howitzers. Gen.
McCall, anticipating they might be attacked,
ordered First and Second brigades to follow
at eight A. M. The First brigade, General
Reynolds, advanced on the Leesburg turn
pike, and took a position on Difficult creek
to await further orders. Two hours later Gen.
McCall, with his staff and escort of cavalry,
followed by the same route. Meantime Geu.
Ord advanced toThornton's House, near Drains
ville, when his command was suddenly fired
upon by a force lying in ambush in a dense
woods adjacent. This was the signal of bat
tle, and a brisk engagement promply ensued.
The fire was first opened by the rebel battery
throwing solid shot, shell and canister. This
was immediately responded to by Easton's
battery with market effect. The infantry on
both sides soon engaged in the conflict, and at
times were not more than GO yards apart.
After fighting about an hour, a shell from our
side exploded the ammunition of one of the
rebel's caissons, making fearful havoc three
of the rebels having their heads blown com
pletely off.and others being horribly mutilated.
At this time the enemy wavered and showed
a disposition to run, when Gen. Ord gave tho
command to charge which, was gallantly obey
ed, and at once the rebels fled in the direction
of Fairfax Court House, leaving on the field a
large number of their killed and wounded.
Our men followed the rebels for upwards of
a mile, when Gen. McCall arrived on the
ground and a recall was ordered, and our
troops fell back to the position vacated by the
rebels. The victory on the part of our troops
is considered the more brilliant as they had
never before been in action. The' have been
highly complimented by both Gen. McClellan
aud Gen. McCall. Gen. Ord is highly com
plimented by Gen. McCall in his di.-patches
to headquarters, for his gallantry and skill du
aing the day.
The rebelorce consisted of four regiments
of infantry, composed of South Carolineans,
Alabamians, and Keutuckians, with one bat
tery of six pieces and a regiment of cavalry.
They had taken a position in a dense woods.
Easton's battery was in a moment planted
alongside the Thornton House, and fired rap
idly and with terrible effect into the enemy's
ambush. Col. Kane's "Bucktail riflemen"
were placed in advance, and fired upon . the
enemy wherever they made their appearance.
The rebels replied briskly with both cannon
and muskets.
The rebel loss is heavy. The scene in the
woods presented all the horrors of a sanguina
ry battlo field the dead and dying laying
strewn in every direction. Sixty dead rebels
were found on the field, and 8eenty-one of
the wounded rebels received surgical treat
ment from Dr. Lowman and bis assistants,
having been taken to a neighboring house for
that purpose. Their loss cannot fall short of
150 killed and wounded besides a large num
ber of prisoneis.
A large number of trophies were secured by
our troops, such as swords, pistols and guns,
as well as two cannon besides blankets, great
coats, etc. The prisoners are poorly dressed
and their clothes filthy, and they give deplor
able accounts of the condition of the rebel
army.
Our loss is six killed 4 and 42 wounded.
Lieut. Col. Kane was wounded in the cheek.
Among the wounded are Johu F.Barnett and
James G lenn, who belong to Capt Irvin's com.
pany.

(Frojc Official Hospital Rspohts.)
May ,19, 18(50. Ellen S.. a?t. 2S, single, never
was very strong. Two years ago she had an at
tack of acute rheumatism, from which she was con
fined to her bed for two weeks, and subsequently
from a relapse for fourmore. She has been well
sinoe then till lost Saturday; while engaged in
bouse cleaning, she took cold, had pain in her back,
felt oold, but had no deoided chill. Two days
later her ankles began to (well which was follow
ed by swelling of the knee jointsandof the hands.
She has dull pain iu her shoulders, and her knuck
les are very tender, red and painful ; both hands
are affected, but the right is the most so. This,
then, is a oase of aoute rheumatism, orjas it is now
fashionably called, rheumatic fever. It is a well
marked typical case. We will carefully watch the
case, and from time to time call your attention to
the various symptoms which present themselves.
My chief object in bringing her before you now is
to call your attention to a remedy which has re
cently been recommended in the treatment of rheu
matism. I mean propylamine!. Dr. Awenarius of
St. Petersburg, recommends it in the highest terms
having derived great benefit from its use in 250
cases wbioh came under his care. Various com
mendatory testimonials respecting it have appear,
ed in our journals, and I propose giving it another
trial. I must confess 1 am always incredulous jis
to the worth of new remedies, which are vaunted
as specifics ; but this comes to us recommended so
highly, that we are bound to give it a trial.
SAME CASE FOUR DAYS LATER !
May 23, 1SG0. I wi l now exhibit toyouthepa
tieut for whom I preshribed Propylamine, and
who was then laboring under an attack of acute
rheumatism.. She has steadily, taken it in doses
of three grains, every two hours, (intermitting it
at night). The day .after you saw her, I found her
much more comfortable, better than she expected
to be for a week or more, judging from her other
attack. (The patient now walked into the room.)
The improvement has steadily progressed,-and
you cannot fail to notice a marked change in the
appearance of her joints, which are now nearly of
their natural size. Thus far our experiment would
have seemed very successful ; but gentlemen we
must wait a little while before we can give a de
cided opinion as to what is to be the result.
THREE DAYS LATER ! !
May 26,18fi0. This is the case of acute rheuma
tism treated with propylamine, the first of those to
which I called your attention at our last clinic.
She is still very comfortable, and is now taking
three gratns thrice dsily.
In this case it has seemed to be followed by very
satisfactory results. The second case to which
your attention was called at our last lecture, has
also continued to do well. I will now bring be
fore you a very characteristic case of acute rheu
matism, and if the result b esatisfactory, I thin i
as good jurymen, ice shall justly render our verdict
in I'avo 1 of propylamine.
lie is a seaman, set. 20, who was admitted a few
days ago. Has had occasional rheumatic pains,
but not so as to keep his bed, until eight days ago.
The pains began in his right knee, subsequently
affected the left knee, and later the joints of the
upper extremities. These joints are all swollen,
tense and tender. His tongue is furred; hisskin
nt present, dry, though there, has been luueh sweat
iu. His pulse is full and strong, and about DO.
He has now used propylamine tweuty-four hours.
Ill is gentlemen is what may be called a strictly
typical case ot acute rheumatism. There was ex
posure to cold and wet, and this exposure is fol
lowed by a feeling of coldness, severe articular
pain, beginning, as it usually docs, in the lower
joints There is fever and the profuse sweating,
sogenerallyattendant on acute rheumatism.
1 did not bring this patient before you with the
intention of trivinjr you a lecture on all the points
connected with rheumatism, but to again give a
trial to the new remedy we are testing, and to ex
hibit to you this typical case, as I have called it,
than which there could not be a fairer opportunity
for testing the medicine in -question. We are,
therefore, avoiding the use of all other medicines.
even anodynes, that there may be no misgivings
as to wtiieti was the enicient remedy, lou shall
see the case in a future clinic.
THE RESULT. A FAVORABLE VERDICT.
June 9, 1860. The next of our canvalesccnts is
the case oftacute rheumatism before you at our clin
ic of May 25th, which I then called atypical case.
and which it was remarked wasa fair opportunity -
lor testing me worth of our new remedy. It was
therefore steadily given in three grain doses every
two hours for four days. The patient has got along
very nicely, and is now able to walk about as you
see. 1 do not hesitate to say that 1 have never seen
as severe a caseo f noute rheumatism so soon, restor
ed to health as this man has been, and without be
ing prepared to decide positively as to the valurof
the retnedu ve hare used. I feel bound to state that
in the cases in which ice have tried the chloride o f
Propylamine, the patients liave gained their health
much earlier than under tht treatment ordinarily
pursued. I wish, gentlemen, you would your
selves try it, and report the results.

VULCANITE BASE 'FOR
ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
Attention is. especially called to this article, as' a
substitute for gold in insorting teeth. Many per
sons who have tr'rd all kinds of metalic bases prc-
tor this, and in those cases where it is applicable,
it will in a ;rreat measure become a substitute for
gold, silver or platina. Its chief advantages are,
cheapness, lightness and perfect adoption to the
mouth ; it having a soft fleshy feel to the parts of
the mouth with winch it comes in contact.
A. M. Hills is prepared to put up teeth on the
Vulcanite Base, with Goodyear's Patent Gum,
which is the only reliable prepcration, and can
only be had through their regular agents.
Dr. Hills will always be found in bis office on

contrary, in the town papers, tho previous week.
