TODD HUTCniNSON. Alltghanian Office, Nov. 23, 1861. From Our Volunteers. Extract from a private letter, dated Camp Piebpoixt, Va., Dec. 8, 1861. . Up to this time, the 11th regiment has been out twice, in company with other resriments, on reconnoitering excursions, otherwise foraging expeditions. On the latter of these, we marched within a few miles of Drainesville, the 2d brigade in front. Our train consisted of fifty-four four horse wagons. Companies A and 13 of the 11th were detailed as wagon guards, that is to say, as a guard to "confiscate" the plunder. The rest of the regiment vrent out as pickets and scouting parties. We met no enemy in force. We took, I suppose, about five hundred bushels of corn, one hundred bushels of potatoes, twenty-five or thirty hogs, quite an amount of wheat, an ox-team and a tumler of horses. Besides these, several private appropriations of turkeys, chick ens, ducks, and other necessaries of camp life also occurred. Gunnell is the name cf the late owner of the confiscated prop erty, lie is a prominent member in the Rebel Confederacy. This is a delightful climate. The weather i3 warm and dry. The effective troops on this side the Potomac are in better condition and better spirits than any time since they crossed the river. Company A, as a general thing, enjoys cood health. Silver Grays. We find the follow ing notice concerning the Cambria county Silver Grays in the Ilarrisburg Telegraph of Friday last : Captain Palmer marched into the city this morning from Camp Curtin, with the view of h-;ng mustered into the service of the United States, but as the age3 of the member? were considerably over the limit fixed by law, the mustering officer, Capt. Dodge, postponed that duty until ho received further orders from Washington The "Grays" then re turned to Camp Curtin, where they will re gain until the question of their acceptance is determined by the proper authorities. Inasmuch as the formation of this com pany was countenanced by the State au thorities Gov. Curtin having given his express approval to it we think it would li indeed bad policy to refuse to accept its services. The officers and members, vho experienced much inconvenience ia the premises, got up the organization with the 'express understanding that it was to add its efforts to help save the Re public, and their patriotic desires should cot be interfered with now. "We hope to Lear of the Silver Grays being "sworn in" the earliest practicable moment. A Day After The Fair. The Dem. & Sent., with characteristic stupidity, last week endeavored to make a little capital out of a slight mistake that appeared in our columns two editions since. The at tempt was a magnificent failure. For this reason : We had publicly rectified the error spoken of several days before the Dem. fc Sent, containing the derogatory strictures had made its appearance ! When our lynx-eyed cotcmporary, aided by his adviser and snappcr-up of uncon sidered trifles, arranges it to accumulate a tig thing on The Allcghanian, he should Ve careful that he be not forestalled in his laudable undertaking. Otherwise, he nay as in this instance prove himself a great ass gratis. Sad Accident. On Friday of last eek, a man named Michael Burgeon, of Washington township, this county, was tilled near Cresson under the following circumstances : He was engaged at the time as fireman on the Pennsylvania Rail road, and had occasion to get off his loco motive at the above point. A train then due, the approach of which was not noted him, came down the track on which he as standing, and striking him, killed him ! almost instaptaneously. His head was cut almost in twain, and he was otherwise Mutilated. The remains of che unfortu Date man were interred at Wilmore on Sunday. te New York Tribune. We would respectfully but earnestly advise those of ur readers who may desire a good daily newspaper to subscribe for the New York T&vne. It is a real "live" journal, aud tends pre-eminent above all similar pul sations. Sec term?, e, elsewhere. "37J3.0 Local Etchings. The weather con tinues niild and pleasant in this latitude, more closely resembling Indian Summer than any season of which we have knowl edge. The snow has entirely disappeared, and we are obliged to scud it under bare poles, like good fellows. We have failed to receive the Hollidaysburg Stan dard during the past two weeks. What's the matter, friend Traugh ? Oblige U3 by manifesting yourself at an early day. The Ebensburg Democrat & Sentinel last week made its appearance in a new dress, looking wonderfully improved by the change. We wish it pecuniary success. The erection of the depot building is progressing. A few more days will prob ably witness its completion. We em brace this opportunity to say, that if any of our readers may desire to present us with a Christmas Turkey, we arc still in the market. Don't all speak at once ! Bead "Spread Eagle" Train's speech to an English audience, published on the outside of to-day'-s paper. He tells John Bull some wholesome, albeit unpalatable, truths, in that plain, straightforward, and unmistakable style of speech which a friend of ours at one time denominated "pure Saxon." Game is unusually plenty in the woods hereabout. We no ticed one sportsman coming into town the other day with about a half-dozen repre sentatives of the squirrel family, all fat and in good condition. This, for the time of year, Lj noticeable. Everybody smokes Brier Wood Pipes : you can pur chase them at the Post Office. The Altoona Tribune has been promising its readers a "great shoy't of some sort or other for the past couple of months. Thus far, however, it lias failed to be forthcoming. This is wrong to make a promise to the ear only to break it to the hope. We therefore respectfully suggest that the editor of the Tribune forthwith proceed to allay our curiosity by shouring it ! Many people up here would probably like to see it. As'an instance of the benefits of advertising, we may mention the fact that during the past month two stray cattle have been recov ered to their owners through the instru mentality of the columns of our paper. The Ladies' Association. Annexed ia a list of articles contained in two boxes forwarded by those Good Samaritans, the Ladies' Association, of thi3 place, to the Sanitary Commission of the War Depart ment, last week : Four pr woolen Socks, one pr cotton Socks, nineteen Cointorts k Quilt3, one Blanket, Thirty Pillows, one hair Pillow, eight Cush ions, six double Wrappers, forty pillow Ca ses, one pr Sheets, sixteen Towels, thirty pr Slippers, six parcels inuslin Rags, four par cels Linen, ten under Shirts, thirteen pir Drawers, fix Rings, seven cans Tomatoes, one can Raspberries, oue can Peaches, one can Plums, oue can Apples, one can Pear Preserves, one can Pumpkin Putter, one can Blackberry Jelly, one jar mixed Pickles, two bottles Tomato Catsup, one bottle dried Currant, four parcels dried Fruits, five pa pers Corn Starch, one paper Gelatine, Maga zines and Reading Matter. Steam Saw-Mill. We notice that Messrs. A. A. Barker andT. S. Bobinson, the former of this place and the latter of Chest Springs, are now engaged in the erection of a steam saw-mill in the East Ward, directly on the line of the railroad. The building is fifty feet in length, twenty-five feet in breadth, and one story high. The frame-work has already been "raised," with prospect of a speedy completion of the entire structure in a short time. We congratulate Messrs. B. and II. on the energy and enterprise they have displayed, and place on record the hope that theirs may prove a paying experiment. Sad. On Friday night, 30th ult., a man named Win. Ilartness, of Pine town ship, Indiana county, was frozen to death near his own residence. He had been to Armagh during the day, and procuring a quantity of whiskey, he imbibed immod erately. On his way home, he became stupefied and laid djwn by the roadside, where he perished from the effects of the ccld and the poisonous liquor combined. So wc learn from the Indiana Messenger. RIl. Item Work on the remaining section of the Railroad is progressing, A large force of workmen are now employed on it, aud, weather permitting, the prob ability is that it will be completed in a week or two. Postmaster Attointed. Dr. G. R. Lewis has been appointed Postmaster of Carrolkown borough, vice. Win. R. Jones, resigned. The Doctor will make an ex cellent official. We wish him success. Stoves. Any one in need of an excel lent stove should not fail to call at the establishment of Geo. Huntley, on High street, where a large assortment of the article is kept constantly on hand. Some More Welsh Poetry. It grat ifies us considerably if not more to be able to lay before our readers this week anoth er instalment of Patriotic Welsh Poetry "written especially for Tlce AUeghanian" as the author's manuscript indicates.

Xollngs from Western Virginia. Poktlasd, Va., Dec. 12, 1861. Correspondence of The. Alleghanian. Here we are away down in Dixie Land about one hundred and thirty-seven miles east of Wheeling, and directly on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. You will remember that I left you on Mon day. On Tuesday, at about 7 P. AT., I arrived at Wheeling, and took breakfast at the !' Clure llouse, where Gen. Rosecrans now has his headquarters, Much to my regret, I did not have an opportunity of seeing that distin guished personage. The Suspension Bridge here- is a splendid affair. I passed through a small town named Fairmouut, where there is another Suspension Brige, equal to the one at Wheeling I also passed through Grafton. It is loca ted somewhat similar to Johnstown, but i3 not so large. There is a splendid hotel at thi3 point, erected by the RIt. Company. The scenery all along the route is most grand. The road itself must have cost an immense amount of money in building. It winds through a very mountainous country, and. has a great many deep cuts. Besides, there were no less than nine tunnels in the distance I traversed, one of which was about a mile long. The 7th Ohio regiment to-day passed thro' Portland for Cumberland Gap. The prevail ing impression hereabout is, that a fight will occur shortly about Winchester and Leesburg, that the rebels will be driven out cf our ter ritory, and that order will once more prevail in Warsaw. There are no scseshers whatever here or in the immediate vicinity. The great body of the people are as loyal to the Union as are Pennsylvanians in general, and a great deal more so than some few in particular that I could name in Cambria county had I the in clination.
