last Sunday right and on Mon
day, some 5 or 6ix inches of snow fell in this
. section cf country; which had-the effect'of
' making our town quite lively. Persons en
, gaged in haaling timber, are making good use
of the snow, as it enables them to draw their
timber with much more ease than on the bare
, ground. '
X. Almost A Fire. On last Sunday morning,
a short time after the fire had been kindled in
' the stove in the Methodist Church, smoke was
' discovered issuing from beneath the roof, and
upon examination it was found that the fire had
communicatedto som e of the timbers on the
1 loft. ' A few buckets of water, however, soon
. extinguished it. .. f
Died. Wo have received a few lines from a
) Jerson who does not give bis name, in which
it is stated, that John Fry, of iJurnside town
ship, died on the 18th of December, and that
his remains were buried in ' the Alexandria
.Graveyard. The letter appears genuine and
truthful, yet wo never place much confidence
' in anoninious communications. .
Eastox's Battery. Since the recent bat
tle at Drainsville, the "ISucktails" hare. taken
an unnsual interest inCaptain Easton's battery.
It is reported, that two men from each com
pany are daily taking lessons in the artillery
drill, so that, should it ever become necessary,
they may render Captain E. more efficient ser
vice." The "Bucktails" have dubbed the bat
tery "The Bucktail Brass Band," and say that
there is no mistake it its music, and that they
will stick to it to the last. Success to them.
To oua Patrons. Previons to the last
" Court, we made an appeal to our patrons fur
- "material" aid,wbicb was generously respond-
ed to by a large number. The times are hard,
.. and to insure the regular, publication of the
Journal, wo must have Paper, Ink Bread, &c,
and to purchase these, we must have money.
- Oar patrons, heretofore, have generously re
sponded to similar requests y and we believe
- the mere mention of the fact of eur need at
the present time, will insure prompt attention
to our request during the coming Court week.
As Explanation. We were favored with a
- letter written by David C. Dale to his sister,
. giving a full account of the battle at Drainer
ville on the 20th December, which came to
hand too late for this issue; therefore his
friends will have to excuse us for omitting its
: publication, and more especially, as we hare
heretofore given the principal facts as stated
' by him. Mr." Dale's friends will please accept
- our thanks for their kindness in sending us
the letter alluded to, and should an opportuni
ty offer hereafter, we will cheerfully publish
' their favors.
A Good ose. We have received an anoni
nious communication, dated Camp Jameson
January 1st, 1862, in which occurs the follow
ing gooa one : i cannot forbear to express
niy approbation of the scientific manner in
which our medical department is conducted.
" The various diseases that prevail in camp are
: mostly treated with Quinine, Calomel, and
Epsom Salts. The two first named are used in
-. Fever8,Juandice,Rheumatism and Indigestion,
whilst Epsom Salts is the almost universal
remedy for the Toothache." Tho toothache
core is certainly a novelty in medical science.

COBBESPOyDSKCa OF THE "JOURNAL."
-.Camp Pierpoxt; Va., Dec. 25. 18G1.
Dear Kow : This Is Christmas ; and while
there are none of those scenes of lrivolity and
good cheer with which Pennsylvanians are
wont to regard this great annual rhoiliday to
divert the mind from the daily routine of camp
life, I concluded that 1 could not do better
than to present a Tew thoughts to the readers
of the Journal Some of the accounts of
the fight at Drainsville are wholly destitute of
lacts, . . One of the Washington papers'
account of the battle was so jumbled up, that
those of us who knew all about it, could hard
ly tell whether it had reference to the action
ol the 20th, or not. ... . This part of the
"sacred soil" abounds with ravines and thick
ets of short scrubby pines, and therefore cur
progress was cautious. In order to guard a
gainst surprise a squad of . cavalry scouts were
sent in advance and skirmishers to the right
and left of tho road to scour tho woods and
give the alarm on the approach of dinger,
whether from bands of rebels or traps in the
shape of '-masked" batteries. V . . . We ar
rived at Drainsville without being molested,
and took up a position to the left of the road.
Gen; Ord, with bis glass, soon discovered a
number of rebel scouts at a distance, who, up
on being discovered took oft towards our left,
which indicated to locality of the rebels." The
General judging that their effort would be to
cut off our retreat, ordered us to fall back a
bout a mile and take a position. On reaching
the designated place, we soon discovered that
the General's surmises were correct, for the
enemy had already taken a position with their
battery within 600 yards of the roads, which
compelled us again to change our position ;
but it was not long until Easton's battery sent
the shut and shell in quick succession on their
deadly mission. . . ..Gen. M'Call ;and staff
came up during the action, and seemed highly
gratified with the result of the fight and the
bravery of the men. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed, on both officers and men engaged,
for their gallant conduct. The Bucktails"
fought like tigers, and seemed determined to
make every shot tll. The rebels being under
cover of the wood, had a decided advantage
our men being in the open field but the Ei
fles, with tho coolness of hunters, watched
their chance, and whenever a rebel showed
himself from behind the tree where he had
hid himself to load, was sure to fall by a
missile from an Unerring rifle that had been
waiting for his appearance. Many of tho reb
els guns were afterwards found loaded and
capped, with tho hammer drawn ready to fire,
but before the triggers could be drawn, their
possessors had gone to swell the number of
the dead.
Col. Kane was twice wounded ; yet he con
tinued at the head of his men, setting them an
example worthy of emulation. He is emphati
cally a fighting man, and his conduct showed
that his whole soul was in tho fight. The Gib
and 9th regiments . also did effective service.
The artillery men acquitted themselves nobly.
In a former communication I related, that
should this battery ever have an opportuniiy
afforded, it-would give an account of itself
that would be credit to the great State it has
the honor in part to represent. -The opportu
nity has presented itself, and the men belong
ing to the battery have, by their veteran bravery,
more than verified the assertion. Capt. Easton
the commander, has, in this, I presume, his
first fight by bis coolness and intrepidity,won
for himself golden opinions ; and the confi
dence of his uieir in him is such, that wherever
he may luad they will follow and should reb
eldom ever be fortunate enough to capture this
battery, it will only be at the sacrifice of every
man belonging to it. Gen. Ord, I believe, is
an old frontier's man, and woe be to the rebels
who get him on their track; the truth of
which they no doubt realized in the recent
slaughter. The scene that presented itself af
ter the battle, is beyond description. Dead
bodies were lying in every direction mutila
ted in every conceivable manner, by the dead
ly missiles that were hurled amongst them.
The rebel troops engaged, some of the pris
oners say, were tho flower ol the rebel army
that they had made a forced march from Cen
treville on purpose to capture our battery and
forage wagons that they consisted of the 6ih
South Carolina, 10th Alabama, tho Louisiana
Tigers, and one Kentucky and one Virginia
regimcntSjtheJefl'. Davisartillery fromGeorgia,
and 6 or 7 squadrons of Gen. Shorts cavalry
in all, between 5000 and 6000 men. They
left about 1G0 of their dead ou the field, be
sides many wounded. We had only about
2-300 men in actual engagement, and our loss
is but small. Trusting to receive that welcome
visitor, the Journal, occasionally,
I remain yours truly, . W. R. B.
. i Of the Bucktail Band.
Camp Pierpont, Va., Dec. SO, 18G1.
Friexd Row : The events of the week have
not been very exciting. Christmas passed ofl
without any thing of importance occurring.
Wo celebrated the day to tho best of our abili
ty. Poultry boing scarce, we dono the best
under tins circumstances, in the way of good
dinners. '
It is with much pleasure that I announce to
you the fact, that tho wounded in the "Rafts
man's Rangers" are improving. .1 was in
formed by the Surgeon that there was no
doubt ot their recovery. The caso of John
Brink,also of our county ,is favorably reported.
On Friday, four companies from our regi
ment were sent to Difficult Creek Bridge, - to
support the cavalry regiment in making a rc
connoisance to Draiiiesviile tho rebels having
been reported to be there in force ; but all re
turned at night without having discovered any
secesh. The cavalry, however, found ten
dead rebels,who were missed when the citizens
buried the others. . .This makes the number of
rebels killed at the recent battle, one hundred
and- seventy-three three of whom died of
tbeir wounds after being bi ought into camp.
On yesterday, Sunday, we had a review of
our Division, in honor of Governor Curtin,
Simon Cameron, and Col. Mulligan, who had
conic, out to see us. Tho review was in. our
usual good style. After the review,the Buck
tails, Easton's battery,' three companies of
Cavalry, and Gen. Ord's brigade, were formed
into lino of battle, (similar to the position they
took at the fight), and "Andy" made them a
speech such a one as you know be can maka
when his heart is in his subject. It must have
gladened his noble heart, when he saw beforo
him such ample proof, that his great exertions
to do something to sustain our Constitution
and the Union bad not been in vain. . That
the sons of Pennsylvania, whom he had called
forth to the help of our common country, bad
valiantly met the enemy and drove them from
the field after a sevrra struggle, must have
been gratifying to him indeed ; and, no doubt,
in a great measure remunerated him for his
extraordinary exertions and labors in the good
cause. Ona other thing was established at
Drainesville, and that is.that the OI& Keystone
can rely on bor soldiers now. in the. field a
fact, which we hope to have more opportunities
to verify. Yours truly, ; M.
' Oa the 4th, the rebels attacked our men
near Hancock, who fell back to await reinforce
ments. . Later advices state that Gen. Lander
bad advanced, and a fight was going on.

tack of acute rheumatism, from which she wnsi-nn.
fined to her bed for two weeks, and subseouentlv
from a relapse for four more. She has been well
since then till last Saturday: while en?areJ in
house cleaning, she took cold, had pain in her hak
felt cold, but had no decided chill. Two days
later her ankles began to swell which was follow
ed by swelling of the knee joints and of the hands.
cne nas auu pain in her-houIders, and her knuck
les are very tender, red and painful : both hands
are anccteu. but the risht is the most so. This.
then, is a case of acute rheumatism, or. as 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 inthc highest terms
having derived great benefit from its use in 250
cases which 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 alwavs incredulous as
to the worth of new remedies, which are vaunted
as specifics ; but this comes to us recommended so
bijjhlj, that we are bound to give it a trial.

of three grains, every two hours, (intermlttin? 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

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 daily.
in this ease it has seemed to be followed bv verv
satisfactory results. The second case to which
your attention was called at our last lecture, has
also continued to do well. I will now brinr he-
fore you a very characteristic case of acute rheu
matism, and if the result b esatisfactorv. I thiiiL

in fumr of propylamine.,

but not so as to keep bis bed. until eiirht davsno-n.
The pains began in his right knee, subsequent! y
