Toe' We ath e r . On Thursday and Friday
' of last week the air was quite mild, and the
snow nearly all disnppeared. On Saturday
evening there was sharp lightning and heavy
thunder and a copious rain. And on Sunday
the river rose to a high stage and the ice rnn
out; carrying with it some slicks of square
timber. On Monday it was cold and windy
and snowed a little. Such has been the
weather during the last week, which has had
ithe eficctof retarding" timber-hauling consid
erable, if not entirely suspending it.
Still .vuet cojik. In passing round town
last week, we observed that Merrell.& Bigler
liad received a large addition to their stock,
especially in the hardware line. Persons de
sirovs of purchasing anything in that line
would do wetl to call at their establishment,
as they keep the largest assortment of hard
ware in the county, and consequently can sell
rto. advantage to the purchaser. They also
: have on hand an assortment of stoves and cop-
3erware,as well as a large lot of tinware, which
'will be sold at prices to suit the times. Call
. and examine their stock.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
Washington, D. C, Jan. 4, 1862.
Friesd Row: During my visit to Camp
. Piorpont, I had an opportunity of becoming
acquainted with some of the officers of the
"Bucktail" regiment, and in justice to them
must say, that I found them all fine men, as
well as good soldiers. Col. Kane, now in com
mand, is a small man, has a very energetic
cast of countenance, and an eye that indicates
- action. He is said to bo brave to a fault, and
likely to be carried away by excitement at
times, and to rush into danger whero a cooler
man would not dare to venture. II is company
otlicers, as I said before, are a fine looking
set ol men, and without disparagement to the
others, I think that Capt. Taylor is the best
looking man th:it I have seen for a long time.
If his brother, the great traveller, possesses
half his good looks, ho is certainly endowed
beyond the most of men. Capt. Irvin has im
proved a great deal In appearance the hard
ships of camp life have done him no harm,
nnd next to Capt. Taylor, he is the best look
ing t Ulcer in his regiment. The "Bucktails,"
(for since they have so recently immortalized
that name, they will never be known by any
thr,) are vry modest in accepting the praiso
bestowed npon them for their good conduct in
the Drainsville fight. They say that there is
no lun" in such things ; but tbey are just as
anxious as ever lor another opportuuity of
meeting the rebels on fair ground, and hope
that they may soon have it. As the " Buck
tails" have been so prominently brought be
lore the public by the late battle, I may be
pardoned for stating some few particulars con
cerning them. The regiment is made up, not
as most people suppose by companies from tbe
Wild Cat district entirely, but partly so. Cap
tain Taylor's company is from Chester county ;
Capt. Bfagee's from Carbon or Lehigh coun
ty ; and one company is from Bradford coun
ty ; the remainder 1 believe are from the Wild
Cat district. The same is true of almost every
regiment composing the Reserve Corps ; they
re nearly all made up of companies from dif
ferent parts of our State. If one regiment is
brave in battle, we may reasonably say that it
represents our soldiers from all parts of the
State, and that it only requires opportunity to
establish the fact that Pennsylvanians are to
be relied on, wherever they are placed. Of
course, they must have the necessary previous
Instruction and training for bitter experi
ence has shown us. that the bravest men with
out drill or discipline, are no better for pur
Poses ef war, than ai armed mob. The Buck
tails are aimed with the Springfield rifled
Musket, said to be the best small arms in the
service, and the regiment is generally scut in
dvanco as skirmishers during a march towards
the enemy's position. They are expert in
'he skirmisk drill, of which" I intend to speak
ttore at length hereafter. In marching, the
"lain body of the army occupies the road,
bilst two or more companies are sent out up
on the right and left as skirmishers. After
aime time these are recalled and others sent
Qt to relieve them. Skirmishing is very
"t'gueing work. Climbing bills and passing
through forests, jumping over logs, fallen
', or fencea, and crossing streams in reg
ular hunter fashion, is certainly calculated to
Jurymen. With the exception of the priv
llcge of choosing their own ground to travel
Tr, they roust keep in sight of the main
way and of each ther. By this arrangement
we BUCKtaijg are the flr8t t0 attack or be at
tacked, and have the honor as well as tbe dan
cr of opening tbe battle. When tbe whole
division is together they are immediately fol
lowed by the 5th regiment, so that If a fight
should occur in which the whole division is
engaged, our Clearfield boys would not be far
apart. This just suits them. They desire to
be Hose to each other, and whenever it is re
quired, they will be found standing shoulder
to shonlder against the enemies of their coun
try. 1 will now give yon an account of some
things that I found of interest to me, and will
be, perhaps, to most of the good citizens at
home for to them Jhe munitions and para
phanalia of war are as unfamilliar, as they were
to me. The first thing that attracted my at
tention, was the Artillery. 1 found that the
eannon were of three or four different kinds
and sizes. The famous Parrot gun is a singu
lar piece of ordinance. Those that I had the
pleasure of examining were ten-ponnders. At
the breach they are about one loot in diame
ter, which size they hold for about two feet of
their length, whwn there is an abrupt diminu
tion to about 8 inches. From this point they
diminish towards the muzzle, at which their
diameter is only about 6 inches. They have
three groves in them, which are spiral, and
cover about one third of the interior surface.
The groves are very shallow not over One
sixteenth of an inch in depth. The guns bo
ing made of steel, they are very strong and
yet very light in comparison to. the Weight of
ball they throw. The Parrot are the most
accurate and powerful guns in the service,
(except perhaps the Whitw0rth, which are
said to be of greater rar.ge, but are heavier
and more difficult to uancllo in tho fieid ; be
ing about twelve Teet in length). There are
no Whifortli guns in the Reserve, and I am
told but six in the vicinity of Washington.
As mint bo supposed, the bore of the Parrot
gnjs is quite small about two and a half
inches. The balls arc long and pointed at the
front end, and covered at the butt end with
lead and canvass. The force ot the exploded
powder expands the lead covering in such a
manner as to fit tight into the grooves, and
thereby giving the ball a spiral motion as it is
coming out. This is true of all rifled cannon
tho balls being constructed to go in loosely
and to come out tight. Shells are also used
with these guns, as well as those made of
brass. Tbe howitzers differ from other guns
in being much shorter in proportion fo their
bore, and in having a recess in them to con
tain the charge of powder. Theyju.re used to
fire hollow shot, such as shell, grapo, canister,
and scrapnel shot which are not as heavy as
solid shot of the same size. . Less powder is
required for these missiles, and for the same
reason less streugth in the gun. The common
brass guns are of the same pattern as they
have bten lor years except that nearly all are
now rifled in place of being smooth bores.
The groves difler from those of the steel guns
being smaller and more ot them. The pri
mers used in discharging the guns are curious
little affairs that do their work effectually.
By thir adoption the old custom of pouring
powder into tbe vent in order to prime the
gun, is dispensed with, as is also the lock for
merly attached to explode the percussion
cap. The primer is simply a small copper
tube that fits loosely into the vent and extends
downwards towards the charge a couple of
inches. About half an inch remains above the
gun and has a small piece of metal passing hor
izontally thiough it, to which a small ring is
attached. One of the men attending the gun
holds a string in his hand having a small hook
on the end of it. As soon as the primer is in
serted, which is at the moment the rammer is
withdrawn, be books his string fast to the pri
mer and at the word "fire" pulls the small
piece of metal out of it, which causes the can
non to bo discharged. By the use of the
modern primer the guns can be loaded and
fired with greater rapidity, in fact, than a
musket even in skillful hands. Each gun has
a box upon the front wheels containing amu
nition. Each gun is also followed by a four
wheeled vehicle called a "Caisson," upon
which threo boxes are placed, also containing
aruunition. Six horses are used to haul each
gun and each caisson, for all guns under 12
pounders. For heavier guns used in the Held
eight horses making twelve to bixteen horses
for each gun. Each pair of horses has its
teamster, who rides upon his near hor.e and
coutroles tbe other horse properly. In what
is called "Mounted Artillery" the cannoniers
ride upon the cannon carriage or walk. In
"Horse" or "Flying Artillery" the connoniers
ride upon horseback, having one man whose
special duty is to take care of their horses
during drillor action, or as they call it, "serv
ing the gun." The rapidity with which a gun
with its caisson can be brought on the field,
unlimbured, loaded and fired is truly astonish
ing to one unaccustomed to such things.
Yours for the present, Traveler.
Camp Patterson, Hancock. Md., I
January 7th, 1802. J
Dear Row : Knowing your patriotism and
that of the readers of your excellent journal
(which I have really missed during the last
five months) I venture to drop you a few lines,
knowing that whatever relates to Pennsylvania
troops, and especially to those from our own
county, would be of interest to the readers of
the Journal.
The Union Cavalry of Pittsburg, Capt. R.
II. Patterson, has been stationed at this place
some 3 months, aud employed in picketing
and scouting, and making themselves useful
generally by way of keeping the rebels on the
"Dixie" side of the Potomac. Sometimes wo
are kept busy ; whilst at other times we have
little else to do than eat good dinners with
our friends in Hancock.
But I had only intended to speak of present
affairs here, and will proceed to do so. On
Friday last, tho 81th Penn'a regiment arrived
at this place and received their arms. .They
are Beljum rifles, and the boys .seemed very
proud of them. The sama night they were
ordered across to Bath, the county seat of
Morgan co-, V a., some b miles from here, to
assist an Illinois regiment in holding Bath,
which was" menaced by the rebels, reported at
15,000 under Jackson. Our lads of the 84th
were apparently pleased with the prospect of a
"clinch" with the rebels, of whom they had
nrt vet acRii one. On Saturday Ihev sent for
reinforcements, saying their pickets bad been
driven in anu a nosi oi reueis were upon uicm.
Our cavalry was ordered out, and proceeded
on a double quick until within sight of Bath,
where, not hearing or seeing nny indications
of fighting, we brought our horses to a walk,
ami moved at that pace down the hill into
the town when, as if by magic, the streets
filled with soldiers, not only in front, but on
our right and left and rear. First Lieut.
Stuart of Pittshnrcr. was in command of our
troops than wnora, a better, cooler, or braver
man does not live ai a giance cwiuprcnruueu
the trap we had run into, on account of not
having been informed of the retreat of our
T i-i, ;,h onnsi.otnd of an Illinois and our
84th regiments and a company of regular ar-
tillery. Un tne approacn vi mo ruuc.a miy
ithnnr firincr a enn. to Sir
John's Run, where they forded the river lo-
.... . , :
inz considerable bsggage, tenis anu piuia-
inm nml th rninfitrf'mntA thev had Bent for.
As 1 said before, our Lieutenant at a glance
rlfr voice he
cooly shouted, "Front, into line !" which was
promptly oueyed,ana answerea Dy a voiiey irom
Secesh not 200 yards off, who brought down
three of our horses.and made holes into several
coats. Tbe fire was returnea wiin our car-
Lidcs, but with what effect we did not wait to
see, for fhe order was "By platoons! right
about ! charge !" and answered by another vol
ley from Secesh passing mostly under us
and striking our horses about the knees but
we rushed into them, firing our revolvers with
our left hand and cutting right and left with
our sabres. In a moment the aspect of things
had changed, and I felt the hope of again se
ing Clearfield,revive within me. The Secesh
cavarly followed us. but kept at a s-ife distahce.
We fell back leisurely, well knowing that too
pieces of cannon were stationed to cover our
retreat across tho river. The rebels followed
us, aDd when within a mile of the river, where
nine of their saddles were emptied in quick
time by a company of eur riflemen that were
concealed in a woods and we captured seven
horses, the other two were killed. Wo lost
three men in Bath, whose horses were killed.
One of the men returned tho same night, but
nothing has been heard from tho other two.
The rebels approached the river in tho night
and commenced to cannonade Hancock, but
dono little or no damage. During the night
Gen. Lander's arrived with the 110th Penn'a
a pi.rt of the 13th Massachusetts and a company
ot artillery. On Sunday morning the rebels
sent a flag of truce and demanded an uncon
ditional surrender, which was ol course declin
ed. At noon the rebels opened fire, but
were soon compelled to retreat. On Monday
morning we observed that they had created a
battery on the brow of the hill opposite ; a few
shells from our battery, however, soon scat
tered them in every direction. What the en
tire rebel loss is, is not known, but I know
that 9 of them have forfeited their lives, whilst
we have lost but two men. On Tuesday the
rebels came down with a flag of truce to bury
their dead. I will write again.

Lawrence, Ti., Jan. 9. 18G2.
S. J. Row, Esq. Dear Sir : I wish to make
some inquiry, through the columns of your pa
per, with regard to the statement published,
viz : the annual statement of the Clearfield
County Agricultural Society.
I see in that statement several items I can
not understand, as well as several omissions.
In the first place is an item of $3 paid A. Car
ter, gate keeper, last year. Second, cash
paid T. Reed for hay and oats. Now, sir, I
wish to be informed by the managers of that
machine, what became of the hay cut off the
fair ground last year ? as there is no account
oftbehayin tho annual statement of 1861.
I am well aware that hay was sold olf of that
ground. Where is the account of it ? In the
next place, I see, cash paid M. S. Bottarf for
work $5,87. And the next item, cash paid
Bottarf & Carter $9,25; why not state in the
report what they done for the money ? I see
A. Carter's $3 tor services last year, and cash
paid A. Carter as police $5, cash paid G. W.
Carter, door keeper, $5. Now, what did Bot
tarf & Carter do for the $9,25 Next is cash
paid A. M. Hills for work $9. What did be
do more than any other of the Marshals ?
There were five of them, vie : A. M. Hills,
Chief, Lever Flegal, Eii Bloom, John Tyler
and Thomas J. McCullough. What did tho
others get for their services, or were their
services uncalled for ? And I am told that
some of these boarded themselves. How is
all this ? Will the Secretary, Executive com
mittee, er some other official answer ? I also
notice at tLe commencement of the statement,
the amount of $124,75 paid on premiums of
1800, since last settlement. Did you not pub
lish that the premiums were to be called for
within a certain period, or they would be con
sidered donations to the society ? Why these
notices, if premiums are paid after the expi
ration of the specified time? Is it to deter
poor people from calling for the-premiums
they are obviously entitled too, not having ob
served the notice until alter the time had ex
pired ? Such has been the case witb several
of the persons who had articles on exhibition,
and who, (as by report of Judges and the read
ing of tho premiums by the President,) were
legally entitled to the same and some of them
poor ladies at that. And what was the $200,
the last item in the column, paid to Graham
ft Boynton for 1 Is it a charity, or was it
loaned to them ? If loaned, let us know the
fact. If it is loaned I commend you for your
care, as I know them to be men of means, and
consequently would be no danger of loseiag
the money. I know also, that these men are
not compelled to borrow money, and most of
the members of your society know the fact.
Then why not giva (things their right names ?
Messrs. Graham & Boynton are not so sensa
tive on this subject. They are not going to
deny the members ol your society the grati
fication of knowing that the funds of tho soci
ety, or at least the $200 of it, are safe.
Yours, Inquirer.
Pike Township, Jan. 11,1802.
Mr. S. J. Row : Dear Sir : I desire you to
grant me the privilege of a few lines in the
Journal. I see an item in the last Clearfield
Republican, which reads as follows : "It is now
" ascertained that if an individual turns in
" and abuses the -Administration for their ex
" travagance, that, he soon gets a government
contract, or a commission." Does the item
I have quoted explain the continual abuse that
is heaped upon the Administration by the
editors of the Republican ? And does that
item also. explain the visit of one of the edi
tors of the Republican to the State capital at
the opening of the Legislature? If the above
assertion is true, one thing is certain, that no
"individual" in this section is better qualified
to receive "a contract or a commission," than
tlie editors of the Clearjitld Republican. Truly
the road to office is circuitous and mysterious
to the uninitiated. . Respectfully yours,
Observer.
Clearfield, January 13, 18G2.
Mr. Row : 1 hear much .said by Democrats,
and in Democratic papers, of the extravagance
of the National Administration. Would it not
be well enough if some of them would ex
amine some matters nearer home ? It is ro
ported that the Commissioners allotted tho
contract to furnish the coal for tho public
buildings at G cents per bushel, whilst other
parties proposed to furnish it at less than five
cents. It is also stated that the wood for the
same purpose was bid for at 5 cents per cord
less than it was allotted at. Why is this ? Is
it party favoritism or not ? Or is that what
the Democracy term economy ? I would like
to have some explanation in regard to the
above. Yours, A Tax Payer.

TflE LADY'S FRIEND GODEY'SLADYS
BOOK FOR 1S62. The world s favorite. For 32
Years tho Standard Magazine. Pronounced by
thf Press of the United States, the best Lady s
Magazine in the World and the Cheapest.
' The Literature is of that kind f-ttcan be read
aloud in the family circle, and the clergy in im
mense numbers are subscribers for the l!jok.
The lest Lady Writers in America contribute to
its pages, and we have some that write for.no other
Magazine.
T'tt Music is all original, and would cost 25
sents(the price of the Book) in the music stores ;
But most of it is copyrighted, and cannot be ob
tained except in "Godey "
Our Steel litgraving. All efforts to rival us
in this have ceased, and we now stand alone in
this department, giving, as we do. many more and
infinitely better engravings than are published in
any other work.
(xodcy's Inimrise Douhle Sheet Fashion-Plate.
Containing from five to seven full length Colored
Fashions on each plate. Other magazines give
only two.
1'ar Ahwtl of any Fashions t?i Europe or Amen
ca. Godey:s is the only work in the world that
gives these immense plates, aud they are such as
to have excited tbe wonder of publishers and tho
public. The publication of these plates cost $10,
000 more than Fashion-plates of the old style. and
nothing but our wonderfully large circulation
enables us to give tbem Other rangazines cannot
afford it We never spare money when the pub
licoan be benefited. These fash ions may be relied
on. Dresses maybe made after them, and tbe
wearer will not subject herself to ridicule, as would
be the case if she visited the large cities dressed
after the style of the plates given in some of our
so called fashion magazines -
Our Wood Engravings, of which wo give twice
or three times as many as any other magazine,
are often mistaken for steel. They are so far
superior to any others.
Imitations. Beware of them. Remember that
the Lady's Book is the original publication and
the cheapest. If you take Godey. you want no
other magazine. Everything that is useful or
ornamental in a house can be found in Godey.
Drawing Lessons. No other magazine gives
them, and we have given enough to fill several
large volumes.
Our Receipts are such as can be found nowhere
else. Cooking in all its variety Confectionery
the Nursery the Toilet tho Laundry -the Kitch
en. Receipts upon all subjects are to be found in
the pages of the Lady's Book. We originally
started this department, and have peculiar facili
ties for making it most perfect. This department
alone is worth the price of the Book.
Ladies Work Table. This department compri
ses engravings and descriptions of every article
that a lady wears.
Model Cottages. No other magazine has this
department.
Terms. Cash in Advance. One copy one year,
$3. Two copies one year, 55. Three copies one
year, $ 6. Four copies one year, $7. Five copies
one year, and an extra copy to the person send ing
the club, $10 Eight copies one year, and an ex
