LOCAL ITEMS.
GoBBll' WITH - OUR FRIENDS.—It is pleasant
-- to be getting well, at least - in well that you can
compare yourself to a chair, that is perfectly
sound with the exception of one cracked leg,
which if ellovied to stand in a safe corner, no one
permitted to sit upon it, or move it, will answer
all the purposes of a chair to the eye. Ia the
words of the. great Reformer ; " here
cannotdo otherwise." lam propped like grand
father Smallweed, my only exercise consisting of
hurling pillows at the brimstone, etc., or as "The
Antiquary" would say" womankind."
An ingenious Frenchman wrote a most interest
ing book, philosophical, erudite and captivating,
entitled, if my memory serves me right, " A jour
ney round my room." If a foreigner could fill a
book, with such a subject, surely an irrepressible •
American might fill a column, even though his
roam is small ; and yet I have forgotten the great
est'advantage the Frenchman had, in being alone
when he wrote and in using his own hands. Sly
room is full large, when there are not too many
in it, and from my window I command fully five
square feet (not five feet square) of blue sky ou a
clear day, and of clouds when the weather is
murky. In common with -all invalids lam pre
pared to give a minute description of the pattern
of the paper upon the wall—here let me advise
my dear friends and gossips always to select a cham
ber paper with reference to sickness. No one
untried can know the misery of trying to count
the number of stars within a given space, for,
count them ever so often and truly, the tale is
sure to vary, and then the lost and carefOl
lest enumeration of all—presto, they shoot in all
directions, like their electrical prototypes in the
heavens. The pattern of ibedquilt is, no small
matter, neither is the slamming of a door, nor
the creaking of a chair; ancl 7 the climax of ner
vousness is readily capped by the use of a little
jndicious cold blooded whispering. It is:, wonder
ful how familiar a room becomes to one Who does
not leave - it for a month, and the uncaged mind
causes the slighest things to become suggestive,
and offers an opportunity for flight. A friend
sends a feW grapes which carry na straightway
from Champaigne to Oporto, then to I Lisbon,
thence across to Maderia, and back agiiin to the
- south of France, %nny Italy and the isles of
Greece" (original); a package of figs catries one
on the wings of the telegraph, along the;shores of
the Levant—a basket of pears may well make
the recipient wonder what the American culturiet
will do next, and, to cut oranges and lemen - g, cit
rons find all that; a donation of apples will trans
' port one as it were upon the magic carpet of the
" Arabian Knight" into the garden of Eden: even
a dozen roasted oysters eaten too late in the even
ing facilitate a Mazeppa—like excursion upon
one of those blooded mares that never travel by
day. I have discovered - two ways of improving
Myself ruidef present circumstances, the one to
think over, digest end apply previously acquired
knowledge, the,other to mike the beat Of the con
versationarmaterial at hand. Witli'sreiard to the
latter method, I have had visits from no le'ss than six
preachersothe oldest of whom, with head as white
assayer, cdunsalled "patienceiand the cultivation of
a disposition to make the beat of everything;" ad
ding thaF-it reminded him of a story he had once
read of a'French peasant Who accidentally upset
his wagon of onions into a brook, in crossing. As the
nutritious vegetables went] bobbing down the
stream, the rustic philosopher exclaimed: "Just
a little salt would make excellent broth !" An
other gentleman in black thought my Comparison
of last week, as to the appearance of my leg,
"elegant." whereas my fair. amanuensis had pro
nounced it "too bad." In addition I have devo
ted, myself, by the use of " Webster's Undefiled,'
to translating a language heretofore unknown to

on black alpaca, black braid on white linen.

Science is a queer thing. To be greatly troubled
in mind to decide whether Louis Napoleon wrote
Julius eraser's life, or eraser his—to see a mouth
without the rest of the face, then a nose, then
month and nose, features and no head, head and
no features - , a man of greater width than heighth,
and then one rivalling a corn stalk in stoutness—
" perchance to dream" of being trampled under
it squadron of horse; blown up a steamboat; run
over hie train of cars: made into sausage meat,
stuffed into skins and lying, an integral part of
festoon, on the counter of a lager beer saloon,
nervously awaiting interment in the stomach of a
hungry Teuton. It is mortifying, too, to attempt
the alphabet - and stick at L. To essay the mul
tiplication' 'table and find yourself uncertain
whether two times twelve are twenty-four or
forty-two, all these trials appertaining to fever.
I have had a high and involuntary compliment
paid me by one of the female critics ("Ministering
angel, thou."—Scott.) hovering about my bed—
." You gossip about nobody but yourself." "To
slee-p the better, my dear!" I trust you will ex
case my ramblings, for situated as I am, this is
the only kind I dare indulge in, and perhaps the
fever is not quite broken. I received a cheerful
message from a relative, to the effect " ‘ if my leg
had to come off, I could congratulate myelf upon
their being one calf less in the family," and that
I " could tura my attention to politics and become
a stump speaker!' I have almost concluded to
learn to knit.

CONTESTED ELECTION.—CoIoneI D. Watson
Rowe filed his petition in the Court of Quarter
Sessions last week as a preliminary step to con

office of District Attorney for this county. The
following is a copy of the petition:
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sea.

That at the said election the four following (among others)
illegal and fraudulent votes were east for the said William

the vote of Abraham Sheely, who voted at the pnblic
house of David Taylor, in the South Ward of the Borough

failed to report to the Provost Marshal of the 16th District
of Pennsylvania.,comisrted in part of the said county of

Nu. NNivti.J Ilamtlittst:im, November 1:3; 11.41.
I have made up my mind never to accept the. !
Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania. I do not
know that any body in particular wants me to
take it, although my old neighbors in Tinicum—
my native place—have at times intimated that
such honors might be in store ti r me in the course
of the next twenty years'. But no matter Mei
does or does not want me, or any other man for
Governor, I have resolved to die a natural death
and any one who wants to be Governor can go in
without treading on my toes. You can give this
important infOrmation to Mr. Cessna, and assure
him of my most distinguished Considerafiou.
Gov. Curtin has lived twenty years in the last
,five. His bright smile has been saddened by
ceaseless cares ; his hair has been silvered as if
- stricken by untimely frosts, and his once ehistic
step has grown measured, and his eye dimmed,
by the exhausting official duties he ha 4 given to
his great State in the period of our Natininti trial:
One year more and he will, if spared, have ful
filled the highest mission ever assigned to a sun
of Pennsylvania, and every bereaved home, every
wounded hero, and every living soldier of the
Republic who belongs to our State, will be en
during witnesses to his fidelity, his patriotism and
his unfaltering devotion to the soldiers and their
holy cause. A few weeks ago ho went to Phila
delphia to attend the inauguration of their Fair
- in aid of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home. In that
vast multitude of the brave defenders ',of the
, country, how eyes brightened and hearts swelled
with pride and gratitude as Gov. Curtin appear
ed on the plattorni, will long be remembered by
all who witnessed it. From thence he went to
Washington to endeavor to adjdst the claims of
the State against the government, and after three
days of labor there, he hastened to Erie to dolly
er the oration at the laying of the corner-stone
of a soldiers' monument to the fallen heroes of
the Lake-shore. While there the Union men of
the Empire State seized upon him and demanded
his inspiring eloquence in behalf of their cause.
He obeyed, and after speaking in two or three of
the leading western points of the State, finally
had to yield to indisposition in the midst of an ad
dress, and proceed hastily to New York for med
ical treatment. He has now been ill in that City
for ten days, and I fear that his sickness is much
more serious than the public have been allowed
to know. On Wednesday last Mrs. Curtin joined
him in New York and is still with him. He is
reported yesterday and to-day as slowly recover
ing: but it will be some weeks evidently before he
will be entirely well. Although definiteinforma
tion was not had here to warrant apprehehsions
as to his recovery, still the vagueness of the an
swers in official quarters satisfied al? that fears
were felt respecting his illness( and the interest
manifested among all clusss of ode people was
intense. No man has ever filled the Executive
chair who was so widely esteemed by the citizens
of Harrisburg as Gov. Curtin.
Sufne months ago the Harrisburg Telegraph
named Mr. McClure as one of the few men who
would make a most unexceptionable acid strong
candidate for Governor. I was not here at the
time or I should have vindicated the senior from
this malicious friendship of the Telegraph, as so
terribly do its corruptions, petty thefts, and gi
gantic plunderings stink in the nostrils a of all hon
est men, that it can praise no one but at the cost
of his political hopes if he has any. lam happy
to say now however; that after long delay, the
Telegraph has atoned to Mr. McClure by abusing
him to the tulle of a column, and it is done in no
grullging spirit. It is well done. I counted fif
teen falsehoods in as ninny sentenceszand theon
-ly truthful statement in the whole article that I
can discover is the announcement that "Col. A.
"K. McClure, editor of the FRANKLIN Rut's'.
"Tony, has had an interview with the President."
If the truth has crept into 'he Telegraph's article
anywhere else, it is an accident: and the publish
er should not be held responsible. But a few
days ago, and indeed ever since the elose, of the
war, the Telegraph' has demanded the direst Vt.'il
geati4' on the-rebels. It insisted upon hanging
Lee Athout benefit of clergy tit made famous in
story and song the crab-apple tree on which Mr.
J Davis was to swing, and it has insisted upon
the confiscation of all the Southern lands, mules,
negroes, cotton-gins, whisky and other notions,
together with so much of the sun, moon and
stars as shine especially for the benefit of the re-'
bels. It insisted upon this because sonic one told
it that President Johnson was going to gibbet,
draw and quarter all the leaders of the rebellion,
and confiscate their pocket change and old clothes
for the benefit of indigent post-masters. Of
course brother Bergner supported the adminis
tration, as his post-office commission has ever
been of most doubtful tenure. The citizens bf
Harrisburg have been divided on the subject of
his retention in the office—that is Bergner-jsiTur
staying in and the people are for putting him out.
while Cameron 'stands between the contending
parties and insists that Bergner never should have
been put there, but as be is there and has never
made anything. it would be a pity to dismisshini.
Ilia last week some 'oßr read him the ro
xy
and explained to hint that the punishment of
treason was a mistake: that the President hate
changed his mind, and that there was more
virtue in treason than we had all supposed,
whereupon one of the odd scribblers for the
Telegraph was instructed to write down Mc-
Clure mid to w rite up the rebels. It was
done according to instructions, and-the poor re
bels, just on the threshold of. their hoped for
triumph, have to be loaded down with the friend
ship of the Telegraph. Thus has. treason incurred'
a most terrible and unlooked for penalty,' and as
the Telegraph don't take confederate notes or
bonds, the thing can't be .topped. I have the
two newspaper hurdy.gurdys of this town now in
first rate tune, and can run them to order. lam
not certain whether I shall give the Telegraph or
the Odin: a few turns next on the senior, but
either can be had ♦ny time they are wanted.
Seriously, when will the capital of the great
State. of Pennsylvania have a paper that can
command the respect and confidence of decent,
intelligent people' Why are we cursed with mis
erable, mousing,black-mail sheets which live from
dafto. day by hush-money' or the prices they exact
fie-lloiug, „right. An able, independent journal
here would wield it powerful and wholesome in
fluence on the polities of the State, and would
save countless sums to the government by arrest
ing the stupendous frauds winch have made Har
risburg a reproach, The Union pail) needs such
a journal—the Democrary, what little is left of
it, is well suited in the 'num, which is alspe of
the seediest of Mieawbers. Let the Union men
of the State - Nnidicite themselves and their cause
by establishing a first class organ here—a paper
that will be for the lnion party. arid not the crea
ture of contractors and broken-down politicians

Local matters in the city of Brotherly Love are,
dull, and nothing has occurred during the past
week that would be of special interest to an out
sider. Everybody is either talking politics or go

long time the old Quaker principles restrained
our good people from patronizing the gilded tem

has vanished and all our theatres are crowded
nightly by eager spectators. 'lwt the entertain
ment be what it may , enthusiastic crowds will
welcome it and the money vi ill flow unstintedly
into the managerial coffi•rs. The newspapers are
beginnin'g to` devote large amounts of space to
dramatic notices, and engaging competent writers,
in many cases outside of their editorial corps. to
reriew the performances of the various actors
and actresses. At present` Lucille Western is
"doing" Abe' sensational drama at the Clwstout...

—lt is officially ascertained, from the rolls in
posseSsion of the Government, that Gen. Lee's
army, when it surrendered, contained 28,000 men,
and Gen. Johnston's, 37,000.
—Gen Banks' report of the disastrous. Red
River expedition has been published. It is a long
and elaborate document. The General says the
expedition Was .ordered by the Secretary of War
and by Gen. 1141e ... c.k, then Commander-in-Chief.
The failure of the expedition.js attributed in the
main ,to the naval force under Admiral Porter,
which, instead of helping the landeroopB, was bu
sy in collecting ciAton. The army was thus
twice delayed, for sixteen days at Alexandria, and
for three at Grand Ecore. The enemy were thus
afforded time for concentration. On this point
the report is very emphatic. It asserts that ev
ery position of difficulty in which the army vas
placed was " immediate and direct consequence
of delay in the operations of the navy." General
Banks continues that it has ever been his rule to
forbear making complaints of the official action
of others, but he adds : " I feel it a solemn duty
to say in this official and formal manner, that Ad
miral Porter's published official statements-rela
ting to the campaigns are at variance with the
truth, of which there are many thousands living
witnesses, and do foul injustice to the officers and
soldiers of the army, living and dead." The re
port says the partial dishitegration of the arrrly
caused embarrassment but not failure. After re
[erring to Gen. Steele's inability to form ajunc
-6°14-the vvithdravcal of the marine brigade, and
the fact that A. J. Smith's corps could remain
only thirty days, he expresses the opinion that the
army could not have 'maintained itself at Shreve
port, even if it had reached that place. A strong

be necessary to make Shreveport a base of offen

plan and was afterward forbidden by orders from
headquarters. Gen Banks claims that every bat
tle that was foughfresulted in victory to his arms,
except that at Sabine Cross Roads, April Bth,
where a defeat occurred in consequence of the
disorganization, march and improper position of
the cavalry - supply trains. -

to be trsattil an prisoners of war, and sent with
an armed guard to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, there
to be kept imprisoned at the depot selected by
