"ATIS08 OF LOCAL ASD OESEHAL IJJTEBIB.
arreip0ndence of The Alleghanian.
Cakf hub Washixqton Citt, "I
Sunday, Aug 4, 1831.
ft hare now been here a little more
than a week, and it eeem3 almost as much
like home to U3 as Canip Wright did, tho'
TC have been obliged to dispense with
Bany of the comforts and conveniences of
oar former abode. In the woods here no
one has any boards that we can "take"
to floor our tents with. Then we have no
stoves, but do all our cooking over regular
cimp fires, which is all very nice when
it don't rain. And last, but uot least, we
oust eat our dry bread without the aid of
mountain butter.
I believe it is arranged that the whole
Reserve Corps of Pennsylvania (fifteen
Regiments) will be kept together; they
rill be formed into Brigades, and the
command given to" Gen. M'Call. He is
now here, attending to getting improved
arms, &c. The flanking companies of the
11th regiment, A and K, marched to the
arsenal yesterday morning for the purpose
of getting rifles, but were disappointed,
as Gen. M'Call would not allow his men
to be armed with the rifles left there by
the three mouths' men, until ..they were
thoroughly overhauled and put in good
order.
The State is paying off the Reserve
Corps as fast as the, paymasters can do it,
and we expect our turn this week.
We find it diflicult to get the news.
The Washington papers are brought out
every morning, and sold at three cents per
copy. They contain about one-fourth as
much reading matter and news as the
Pittsburg "penny-papers." "We occasion
ailr get hold of New York Heralds or
Tribunes, which are always read uutil
there id nothing left of them.
Gen. M'CIcllan is very strict with the
officers and soldiers about here. They
&re not allowed to visit Washington with
out a pas from the Col. commanding
statins their business. All officers or sol
diers found about the streets, hotels or
public buildings, without such passes, are
arrested and put in the guard house.
We do not et know when we will be
taoved from here. The 15 Regiments P.
R. C. are to be placed in a camp by them
selves soon. I believe the place chosen is
about five miles up the Potomac.
With the exception of a few cuscb of
measles, the Cambria Guards are in good
fighting order.
Locals arc awful scarce. Hope to be
tile next week or soou to give you an ac
count of a "brush" with the enemy.
Ever, &c, J.
Returned Soldiers. On Saturday,
Lieut. Wm. Linton, George W. Brown,
Samuel Goodwin, Joseph Wherry, Thom
as Jones, Robert Marlett and John C.
.uurray, all of whom belonged to various
companies of the three months volunteers,
wd who were discharged and paid off at
Uarrisburg last week, arrived at their
homes in this place. They all look hale
and hearty, and give it as theirunanimous
'pinion that "sojering" is decidedly the
thing for these degenerate times. Their
only regret is, that, being in General Pat
terson's division, they were not enabled to
toeaure strength with the Traitors.
Adjutant J. C Noon, of the 3d regi
ment, also arrived home on Thursday.
Since his return, we are sorry to say, he
has been prostrated by an attack of sick
c&s, from which we hope he may soon
recover.
We forgot to notice last week that our
Wend, Peter L. Linton, who was also con
nected with Gen. Patterson's division, had
turned. He looks well as ever.
Welcome back, all I
Burglary. On Thursday night, the
Kreof Mr. William Davis, in the eastern
part of town, was burglariously entered by
ome person or persons unknown, and
W specie to the amount of about four
hilars abstracted therefrom. The entrance
effected by prying open the door.
"-0n Saturday night two strangers who
ad been prowling about town for some
tlm"e without any visible object in view,
&rTPKtirl o n rl 1j-r1Tl in Jail rr cno.
I'cion of being concerned in the above
uuoery ; hut no proof appearing against
b they were discharged next morning.
, B&,Ye learn that Lieut. Wm. Linton
tends returning to Uarrisburg almost
mediately, to organize a company for
war. 'We wish, him every success in
rtiriotic undertaking. '
Hor I Last Friday was tho hottest J
day of tho season. Thursday and Satur
day Tvere warm enough, but Friday -was
several degrees ahead, the thermometer
ranging throughout the day at from 95
to 100 in the shade! Since then we
have been favored with several rains,
-which have had tho effect of slightly cool
?ng the upward tendency of the mercury.
Our general advice to our readers is this
while the dog-star rages, drink nothing
more stimulating than lemonade, (with or
without a fly,) eat nothing stronger than
good fat beef, go not into the sun's rays
without a hat, cap, havelock or bandana
on your head, don't get excited, and, as
you value un-wilted chokers and the like,
take no more violent exercise than an oc
casional trip on the light fantastic or a
bout with delinquent debtors. In other
words, do pretty much as you please, and
please us accordingly.
Caution to Mothers. It is a very
common thing to see mothers and servant
girls pushing along the sidewalks the lit
tle carriages in which they are giving in
fants an airing on pleasant days. An
exchange remarks that the practice is a
very dangerous one, and is liable to do
great and permanent injury to the child.
The position of a child riding backward
instead of forward, is an unnatural one,
and directly affects the brain. Some
grown persons even cannot ride backward
in a railroad car without experiencing a
sense of faintness, and to expect a child
to do what a strong adult cannot, is un
reasonable, to say the least. It is believ
ed by medical writers that infants have
died from disease produced from being
ridden backward.
Ferocious Customer. On Monday
evening, a fellow named Thomas Gordon,
who holds forth in Johnstown, after put
ting himself outside of a large and well
selected load of boomerang whisk v. became
riproarious and pugnacious. Following
the inclination of the spirit, (no pun in
tended,) he smashed in several taverns,
committed a number of aggravated assaults
and batteries, and ended by being knocked
down and dragged off to the lock-up. On
the following Wednesday Constable Gage
by started with the prisoner for this place
to commit him to jail, but he succeeded in
escaping on the road. A reward of ten
dollars is offered for his re-arrest. Mr.
Gordon should be looked up, by all means.
How to Act should Your Dress
CATcn Fire. Ladies should, whenever
they are so unfortunate as to hae their
dress upon them take fire, fall prostrate
and roll upon the flame. An assistant
then can smother it with a table-cloth, a
piece of carpet, or even with any kind of
clothing which may be at hand. If the
lady stand erect, the flame will ascend
rapidly and ' encircle her face and head
and she will breathe in the flame, to the
destruction of her lungs and life. In such
cases, it is almost useless to battle with the
fire with the hands.
The Truth. If there is one thing in
which a man should be more careful than
in another, it is in the matter ot cleanli
ness. Cleanliness naturally begets neat
ness, and neatness creates a demand for
good clothing. Should any one ask us,
Where must I go to purchase a good,
neat, cheap outfit ? we would immediately
answer, To C- R- Jones', at the Ebens
burg Root and Shoe Srore. lie keeps
everything necessary to rig a man out
from top to toe, and his price-list is unex
ceptionable. Drop in on him.
Returned Voluntees. On Wednes
day last, three of the companies from
this county, comprising the Zouave Ca
dets, Johnstown Infantry and the Citizen
Guards, returned to their homes in Johns
town, this county. They were received
by the German Home Guards and a large
concourse of relatives and friends. Capt.
Easley's company also returned last week,
being the last of the three months' men
who were absent from this county.
Chaplain. Rev. A. Torrence, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at New Alex
andria, Westmoreland county, has volun
teered to act as Chaplain of the 11th reg
iment Pennsylvania Reserves for a few
weeks. lie is now with the regiment at
Washington.
Music. Prof. Huey, the music teach
er, is now at Johnstown giving a course
of lessons. We hope he may find it con
venient to call around this way again, as
the musical education of the rising gen
eration has been sadly neglected latterly.
JBS?" Go to Doctor Thompson's, at the
Tost Office, for late magazines and papers
of all kinds. lie sells them, cheap.
Hemlock, August 5, 1851.
To th Editor of The Alleghanian :
; Tb$ Washington Rifles (Co. G, 10th
regiment,) arrived home safely on Satur
day. The were received at the static n by
a largo concourse of friends who had met
to welcome them back. Capt. Behea's
Home Guards wero to have acted as es
cort, but through some misunderstanding
this part ot the programme was omitted.
The volunteers all look exceedingly
well, and say they never experienced bet
ter health in their lives. To judge from
appearances, camp life suits them exactly ;
and a large number express their determi
nation of re-enlisting "for the war." They
are determined to have a brush with the
enemy, and, to use their own expression,
would have had one before now only "the
cowardly miscreants wouldn't stand fire."
They had many stirring stories to tell
concerning events that transpired during
their sojourn in the enemy's country, none
of which surprised me more than the re
port that the ladies in that section are
all opposed to Union !
Our quiet little town, as you may well
imagine, was in a high state of excitement
until about 10 o'clock in the evening,
when the crowd dispersed, our citizens to
dream of friends and relatives returned,
and the soldiers to enjoy the luxury of a
feather bed once more.
By the way, our friend, "the clerk," is
on hand again, looking well as usual. He
will enter upon the duties of his arduous
and responsible office immediately, I be
lieve. I understand that Major White arrived
home on Saturday morning, but I have
not yet seen him. He has not enjoyed
very good health for some time. XX.
Dead. A teamster hailing from West
moreland county, who was present at the
battle of Rull Run, died in Altoona last
week from wounds received by being run

Witmer's Bridge,
Lancaster Tp. July 30, 1860.
Messes. Evans axd Watsos: Gentlemen
The small size No. 1 Salamander safe which
I purchased from your agent, Mr. Adam ' R.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July 20th, 1858,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which it withstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing ail my books
together with yau ble papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represetiug a value of over Twenty Thous
and Dollars, ($20,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 27th of Ju
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unscathed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the ruins, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of a large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls. After tha
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in a state of perfect preser
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other word3 from
me. Yours Respectfully,
sel3 SAMUEL RANCH.
