Camp Tessat.lt, September 22, 1861.
Correspondence of The Alleghenian.
Fort Pennsylvania, on which the 11th
liave been working for some time recent
Ir has been completed, and fifteen guns
mounted. The Fort is surrounded by a
ditch twelve feet wide, and eight feet
deep ; larSe limbs ani1 trce toP3 arc Pace
around on the outside of the ditch, pinned
to the ground, the small branches being
cat off, which causes it to present a very
formidable appearance. There are two1
other Forts being built, one about one and
a half miles South-east of Fort Pennsyl
vania, and the other about three miles
Sorth, or North-east. They are built on
elevated ground, commanding a large
scope of country. The Reserve Iihs the
Willing of these Forts. The Second Bri
ttle build the one North of Fort Penn
sylvania. The Reserve has been divided
into Brigades, and Rrig. lien. Mead com
mands the Second, which is composed of
the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 11th Regiments,
imJKaine's Rifles. The Rifles form the
tight and the 11th the left. I do not
bow what Regiments form the other
three Brigades.
On Saturday morning the different Bri
gades of the Reserve were reviewed by
Gens. McCIcllan and McCall. They were
followed by a number of other officers, arid
Lo by Prince De Joinville, his son, and
nephew. A very large crowd had assein
l!eu to witness the parade.
The health of the troops, as a general
tiling, is good. There are several cases
of Typhoid fever in some of the Regi
ments; one in the 11th, and also a few
canes of Ague-.
The following is the programme of each
day: At sunrise, Reveille, at which
time brcatfast is to be ready ; two Com
pany and two Regimental drills per day ;
Dinner at one o'clock, or rather, when it
suits ; retreat at sunset ; tattoo at9 o'clock ;
taps at 10 o'clock. Brig. Gen. Mead is
very strict with his orders, neither officers
nor soldiers being permitted to pass the
thaiu sentinels without a written pass
from the Col. stating the business of the
Nearer. A soldier cannot go fifty rods,
along any of the roads, from his quarters,
aulcss he has a pass, without being ar
rested by the patrol.
We have bern favored with very pleas
ant weather for the last few days. Co. A.
enjoys good health, and the mcu are in
excellent spirits. We were paid off yes
terday. Each man received 615.90 ten
dollars in Treasury notes, and the balance
in silver. K.
Heavy Rain-Storm. Wo were fa
vored with a tremendous storra of wind
and rain last week, commencing on Thurs
day evening and continuing without in
termission until Saturday n;ght. That
ubiquitous iadiyidual, "the oldest inhabi
tant," recollects not the time when a grcat
r amount of ruiu fell in the space of two
&ys. The streets and highways were
rndered almost impassible by reason of
'ae vast bodies of water that covered

into huge streams ; and streams took
the form of rushing, foaming rivers. 13c

To the Ladies op Cambria County :
As winter is rapidly approaching, when
our brave soldiers now in arms for the
cause of Liberty and Justice will need
to be provided with warm and comfortable
clothing, it has been suggested that the
patriotic ladies of the State be allowed to
come forward and contribute a willing
share to the Good Cause. Acting on this
hint, the Quartermaster General, of the
State has issued a call for blankets and
stockings, and the ladies of many counties
have already formed themselves into as
sociations to furnish the articles. The
ladies of Cambria should not be behind in
the matter. Four or five thousand pair
of stockings could easily be furnished, and
the time consumed in their manufacture
scarcely be missed. Will you not inteiest
yourself, lady reader, in this behalf? Let
those knit who never knit before, and
those who knit why, let them knit the
more. And thus you can show your ap
preciation for the Government that fosters
and protects you, and your solicitude and
careful regard for the comfort of the vol
unteers that are doing battle for the per
petuity of that Government.
The following official notice from the
Quartermaster General explains more fully
the state of the case :
H1
EADQUARTERS PA. MILITIA.
Q I." A KTEIi MASTER'S DEPARTMENT, 1
Harrisburg, Sept. 10, 1861. j
Pennsylvania needs Blankets and Stockings
for her 30.000 brave soldiers, in arms to sup
port the Government.
Every factory capable of making Blankets,
even to a single loom, should at once be put
in operation. Liberal contracts will be given
to all such.
Blxnkcts should be wool grey ; 7 feet long
by 5 ft. ti in, wide, and weight full 5 pounds,
with the letters, P. V. in black, 4 inches long,
in the centre of each Blanket.
Stockings will be needed the coming win
tor half hose or socks, good sizes, one-fourth
pound each. Let every mother, wife and sis
ter knit one or iwore- pair3.
Let associations be formed in each county,
with a treasurer nt the county seat, with
whom the stockings can be deposited, and
forwarded to the military store of Ilarrisburg.
The United states coutract price, twenty-five
cents per pair, will be paid to -each county
treasurer, and thus a fund can be raised to
supply the wants of volunteer families, to
which every patriotic woman iu the State can
contribute her share.

Quartermaster General, P. XI.
An Accident and a Narrow Escape.
On last Friday, during the continuation
of a heavy rain-storm, our old and much
respected fellow-townsman, John Wil
liams, Esq., met with an accident' that
came well-nigh proving fatal. He is the
proprietor of a mill a short distance below
town, and was returning at the time from
an inspection of the dam attached thereto,
the safety of which was endangered by
the unusually high water. While cros
sing what is commonly known as the
"overshoot," or outlet by which the sur
plus water escapes, and across which a
narrow, flimsy bridge had been thrown, a
plank broke and precipitated him into the
seething torrect beneath. So terrific was
the force of the angry waters that he was
swept over the falls, down into the reser
voir beneath, and on on with the cur
rent, through piles of logs and brushwood,
and over rocks and stones, for a distance
of a hundred rods or so, in almost an in
stant ! At this point, he succeeded in
obtaining a foothold, and although nearly
drowned, managed to regain terra fimxa
once more. He was considerably bruised
by his perilous voyage, but not seriously
injured, and at the preseut date Is almost
entirely recovered. He lost several dol
lar in change, a pocket-book containing
valuable papers, a bunch of keys, and sev
eral ether articles iu the stream.
The preservation of Mr. W. from in
stant death or serious iujury is iudeed
wonderful, and can only be attributed to
Providential interference. He has had
many ''hairbreadth escapes by flood and
field" in. his life, but none more narrow
than this.
Ebensburg Union School. The ex
amination of applicants for this school was
held in the school-house on Wednesday of
last week. County Superintendent Swank
conducted the examination, and we are
informed that the several candidates ac
quitted themselves creditably. The fol
lowing are the names of those chosen by
the Directors to fill the schools :

School No. 1

" n. ? John Gittino-SL
No. 3 Alexander Jones.
Primary Department Mr3. Jane Clark.
The winter session of the schools will
commence, under the above auspices, on
Monday, 7th of October, inst.
The Fair. The attendance at the
Fajr to-day (Tuesday) is quite respectable.
The display of articles on exhibition is
large, and more wiil be added to the list
to-day. The "jGlosser Rand" is in atten
dance, and discourses eloquent music for
the occasiou. The weather is delightful,
and the Fair will certainly be a success.
To Correspondents. Owing to the
fact that our correspondence from earnest
seekers after knowledge, statistics, and
other knick-knackerie, has become some
what ponderous people, per parenthesis,
think that editors know everything, you
know ! we have concluded to devote a
given 6pace in our columns to their be
half. By so doing we expect to demon
strate that the New York Ledger is not
the only paper in the United States that
can answer "hard queshuns ;" as well as
to save the small sum of say something
less than 100 per week for postage, et
cetera. We hope the public will appre
ciate our efforts in their and our own be
half. Scipio : The somewhat eccentric name
of the camp at which the 11th Penna
Reserves have been until recently sta
tioned, to wit, Tenalley, is not a corruption
of Ten-pin-alley. It is simply an abbre
viation of the word Tenalleytowu, a small
village in that vicinity, which, in lieu of
streets, has alleys laid out hither and
thither through its limits. These alleys
are to the number of ten hence the name,
Ten-alley-town. Furstay ?
Politico : "Sensation Items" are items
of news manufactured expressly to create
a sensation, and to cause the papers in
which they are printed to sell rapidly.
The Ebensburg Democrat tt Sentimental
is the only paper in two continents that
has never published a Senscation Item.
Tom : This correspondent writes that
his sweetheart struck him in the face and
made his nose bleed when he attempted
to kiss her, and asks how he shall be re
venged on her. Why, don't kiss her any
more.
Grimes t The motto of the Ebensburg
and Cresson Branch Railroad is said to be,
"Where we Branch we Root," and not
"Where we Branch we Rue It."
Dick : The terra "sticking-point" is
supposed to mean the point of the bayonet.
Several letters stand over to be an
swered hereafter.
The Law or Newspapers. For the
benefit of those interested, we herewith
annex the rules that govern the press ot
Pennsylvania Tlie AUcgJtaniun included :
1. Subscribers who do not give express no
tice to the contrary, are considered as wish
ing to continue their subscription.
1. If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their Periodicals, the Publisher may con
tinue to serd them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the ollices to which fhev
are directed, they are held responsible till
they have settled the bill and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the
papers are sent to the former direction, they
are held responsible.
5. The Courts have decided, that refusing
to take periodicals from the office or remov
ing and leaving them uncnlleu for, is prima
facia evidence of intentional Fraud.
September .-Twenty-Sixth. Thurs
day of la?t week, the day appointed by
President Lincoln as a day of National
Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer, was ob
served with commendable unanimity and
respect in this place. Public service was
held in all the churches, and our business
houses, without exception we believe, re
mained closed throughout the day. Town
presented a siugularly quiet and Sunday
like appearance quite unlike on other
holidays, when mirth and rejoicing are
generally the patron saints of the occasion.
Attend It. A public meeting ot the
people of Cambria county will be held in
the Court House, ou Wednesday evening,
2d inst., (the second day of the Fair.)
The object will bo to afford any person
who is so disposed an opportunity to en
ter the service of his country an! help to
crush Treason and Traitors. Capt. Wil
liams, of the regular infantry, will be pres
ent to enrol the names.
Remember It. 3Iaj. Thompson, our
worthy and accommodating Post Master,
ha3 issued a bulletin giving notice that
from and after Monday last all letters in
tended for the Eastern or Western mails
must be in tho office at 8 P. M., as the
mails will close promptly at that hour.
Business men and others will do well to
make a note of this fact.
To Teachers. Co. Supt. Swank gives
notice that the examination ot applicants
for the several schools of Cambria town
ship will take place in this borough on
Wednesday, the 9th inst.

The email size No.'l Salamander safe which
I urchascd from your agent, Mr. Adam R.
Ba-r, in Lancaster City, on July.2Gth,' lH&i,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which it withstood in a most satisfactory
manner. Thia Safe, containing all my books
together with vau ible papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represetiug a val le of over Twenty Thous-
J Tk .ll jw.. - - I.; .1.
ami I'ouars, .?.u,uuvy as jii my .tiui wmcu
was destroyed on the uight of the 27th of Ju
ly, .1800, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unscathed. The Safe was on the second iloor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and wa
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of a large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls. After tho
lire the s.ifa was opened and the hooks 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 words from
me. Yours Respectfullv,
