LULog;2xn.x3J.33L TRSDAY:H::::::::::::::JANUARr 16. " tetter From Harrisuurgf. IlAHTtiSBrRO, Jany. 13, 1862. .reST)onclence of The Alleghanian. The State Legislature convened in tnia . on Tuesday last. Both houses have en fully organized ; but those conver sant jth legislation know that, until the ' ointment of the standing committees, aJ their reports upon bills referred have teen made, nothing of interest will trans pire. ' The House was organized by a union nfthe straight Republicans with those members elected upon Union tickets. he fact of the Republicans nominating, in caucus, John Rowe as Speaker, gave r.roof of their desire to eschew party poli os for the present, and "keep step to the music of the Union." Speaker Rowe is a Democrat, in name and in deed; and Tvhi!e he is willing to waive for the time being all partisan strife, merging the mi- TOr in luc iuiij"i loved country is now involved, he is no less the true-hearted patriot "for a' that." He will discharge his duties a? Speaker with ability and impartiality. His deief uinatkm to stand by the National Admin istration, to join hands with its friends, and let the past (politically speaking) be for gotten, until, at least, this iniquitous rebellion be crushed, will never bebro't up in judgment against him br reasonable sr.J true men, out will rather redound to Lis credit as a patriot and as a man. The Senate organized by the election of the nominees of the Republican caucus, that party having been in a large majori ty in the body for seme years past. Hon. Lewis W. Hall was re-elected Speaker. Representing, as he does, the district of which Cambria is a part, it is meet that I should say a word in reference to him. Speaker Hall is a young man, of marked ability as a legislator. That which com- aends him to both parties is his accessi bility to his constituents, of every political preJiJiction. Sociability and hospitality are his distinguishing traits'. It evident ly gives him even more pleasure to do a ?av.r than it does the recipient to receive it. In a deliberative assembly like the Senate, professional and personal merit are soon discovered and recognized. The Speakership i3 . a position of which any man may be proud. In our State Gov ernment, it is second oniy to that of the Executive ; and, as it is considered to be ia the line of safe precedent?, our distin guished Senator may be looked upon as Lsirtg prominent among the aspirants for that higher office. I must also be permitted to allude to the Chief Clerk elect of the Senate. As an old acquaintance and friend, I most willingly bear testimony to his ability as an officer and bis uprightness as a citizen. In speaking of these traits, I indulge in no speculations, because 1 write "of that which I do know, and testify to tliat which I have seen." There is not a gentleman in the Commonwealth better qualified for the position of Clerk of the Senate than :3 (Icorge W. Ilammersly. The Governor's Message gives general satisfaction to all parties. It presents, in a plain, intelligible and candid manner, the financial condition of the State; while k infuses a feeling of ratisfaction in the treast of every true, loyal Per. rsy Iranian that our good old Commonwealth main tains such ari elevatftd position among her sixers of the Union. The Message most effectually disabuses the public mind in reference to the charges that havo been made, in certain quarters, against his Ex cellency in connection with the cloth'ng and pay of volunteers. The simple fact that nearly four hundred tlimisand dollars f-f the three millions appropriation of last session remain unexpended, is evidence that the State Treasury lias b een guarded ith all the watchfulness possible under the circumstances. I will not attempt a minute criticism of the Message. You iU no doubt publish it in extenso your Naders can then judge for themselves. Hugo. Military. An effort is being made 10 this place to raise a cavalry company, Ul3er the auspices of Geo. J. Rodgcrs and "William Linton. Wc understand hit considerable success is experienced a recruiting for it, and no doubts are cn rtained of the ultimate success of the eperiment. Excelsior. The citizens of Jolins t0n are urgently memorializing Congress t0 nave the proposed new National I'oun- UI7 located at that place. Act to Ebensburg, we know of no more "JJ'W Miuatmn f!,r It. Inciter from tlae "Silver Grays." Camp Cchtin, Jany. 11, 18C2. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. During the last two weeks, we have had every variety of weather, from mild, genial Indian Eummer to cold, blustering boisterous winter. At this moment, the camp-grounds present one entire mud puddle. All hands are praying1 fervently for a "freeze," that their pedal extremi ties may ence more rest upon the top of Mother Earth, and not be brought into quite so close proximity with those of the antipodes. The Silver Grays are progressing finely. Excelsior is our motto onward" and up ward is our destination. To adopt the converse of an old adage, our numbers are growing large by degrees and beautifully approaching the status of a completed or ganization. The roll to-day exhibits the names of seventy-three "good men and true' ready to obey their country's call, let that call point in whatsoever direction it may. We have four members detailed in recruiting service, upon whose return we feel confident of filling up our ranks to the minimum. In my last, I promised a word in refer ence to the standing of our First Lieuten ant, Jame3 Murray. I say but the truth when I assert that he is a favorite, not only among the Silver Grays, but through out the entire camp. He is recognized as the best drill officer here, outside the West Pointers connected with the camp, and he will lose nothing in comparison even with them. If this war continues, his merits as a gentleman and ofScer will be rewarded by his being called to the performance of higher and more impor tant duties. His promotion would give great satisfaction to every Silver Gray. Capt. Rainier is as "busy as a nailer" attending to the improvement and comfort of his command. Our comnanv bein": unattached, the captain has all the duties to discharge, so far as the company is concerned, that are ordinarily performed by the colonel of a regiment. lie is "on the run" from morning uniil bed-time, but he pursues "the even tenor of his way" without murmur or complaint. His characteristic equanimity is here exhibited to much advantage. "When he is aroused grumblers "shut up" and dyspeptics affect good humor. Let what may come, our captain will pass at par. High Private. Sudden Death. On Tuesday night of last week, a well known citizen of Al legheny township, named "William Singer, came to a sudden and untimely demise. The following are the particulars concern ing the case, as far as we have been able to airive at them : The deceased left Lorctto in the evening, in company with several others, in a sled, for Cref.son, with the avowed intention of enlisting in some military company. Having imbibed im moderately before starting, it is supposed he became stupefied on the road ; at all events, he fell from bi3 seat in the sled to the bed beneath, where he was permitted to remain until the end of the journey. Oa arriving at Cresson, and attempting to rouse him to consciousness, it was discov ered that the vital spark had fled that his restless and perturbed spirit bad wing ed it3 way to the unseen world. An in quest was held on the remains, and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased added another to the list of the victims of the infernal demon of In tempeiauce. The deceased was probably about 50 years old. In his earlier days, he achiev ed considerable local celebrity by his ex ploits as a pedestrian. On one occasion he entered into a wager to walk from Wilmore to this place a distance of ten miles iu a half hour. He went over the ground in precisely thirty-seven minutes failing to come up to the conditions of the bet, but doing the most extraordinary and considerably the tallest walking on record. It is also asserted that he once walked from Pittsburg to Munster a distance of eighty miles in one day, between sunrise and sunset. Teachers' Institute. The regular meeting of the Ebensburg and Cambria Township Teachers' Association was held in the Ebensburg Union School-House on Saturday afternoon last. The following officers were chosen for the ensuing term : President, D. W. Evans; Vice President, John Gittings ; Secretary, J. O. Brook bank ; Assistant Secretary, D. I. Evans; Treasurer, "NV. II. Davis. A large num ber of teaxhefs were present, and some in teresting exercises wero had. The Asso ciation is in a flourishing condition, and bids fair to be a valuable auxiliary to the caufc of fdueation. A Card. TO TUB PEOPLE OF CAMBRIA COCXTT. . Having been appoiDted Superintendent of Common Schools for Cambria county, for the term ending June 1, 18C3, it may not be out of place to accompany the announcement with a few words to the Directors and Teachers cf the county in regard to my plan of operations during the remainder of the present school term. On the 13th of November, 1SG1, the office of County Superintendent was rendered va cant by the resignation of Col. J. M. Swank, and has remained so until Monday last, when it wa3 filled by my appointment. During this time, the schools of the county have been in active operation, and as the length of the school term in the country districts is but four months, I shall necessarily be able to visit but a small portion of them. By refer ring to the report of Mr. Swank, it will be seen that there were, on the 1st of June, 18G1, one hundred and forty-nine schools in Cam bria county. Of these, eighteen had been visited by Mr. Swank prior to his resignation ; and there still remain one hundred and thirty-one schools to be visited. Of this num ber, a portion will close in about four weeks and the remainder in from two to three weeks thereafter. As it is impossible, in the country districts, to visit more than two schools each day, I cannot see all, or even a 'ority, of them this winter. "When I received my commission on Mon day last I held the position of Principal of the Ebensburg Union School ; and, believing that it would be injurious to the interest of the school to close it immediately, I retained my situation until the close of the week. At that time, the Directors succeeded in procu ring an efficient substitute, in the person of Mr. D. W. Evans. Being thus freed from the old. I shall enter upon the discharge of my new dutips immediately ; and beginning with Cambria and the northern townships, I will visit as many as possible of the schools in each district employing in this way every day of the time the schools remain open. - Fully recognizing the importance of Insti tutes in promoting the efficiency of teachers, and, through them, the welfare of their schools, I.shall consider it a duly as well as a pleasure to visit as many of them as circum stances will permit due notice being given of time and place of meeting. On Saturday of every week I will be in Ebensburg, where directors and teachers desiring an interview arc requested to call. In conclusion, I would ask in the work that is before me the earnest co-operation of the friends of education, throughout the county, premising by the faithful discharge of my duties to merit such aid, and prove myself worthy of the trust reposed in me by the .State Superintendent.

That's so ; but it i3 too tcealc for you. gy The man who contends that negroes should enjoy the rights under our Constitu tion that are enjoyed by white men is meaner than even the meanest Buck Nigger. D. & S. Suppose we set that down as true, He wouldn't be as mean as you. L- Dollie want3 to know if we wouldn't like an assistant in the discharge of our ediio rial duties. D. & S.

Then Mordieai will always be a man, as Polly Woggs. his washerwoman, says he keeps hi? unmentionables so muddy inside that his wife will never wear them ! y Is it true that brother Barker got glo riously tight after reading the Democrat & Sentinel of two weeks ago? D. & S. " No; but we hear it on reliable authority that brother Murray got "gloriously tight'' after he had read the proof of it. But we want this kept quiet, as the Commissioners might raise a Little Storm if they knew it. EST" The editor of the Dem. & Sent, says that we paid each of our deputies $25 extra for making personal assaults on him in The Alleghanian last week. If the editor knew that to be as true ns be knows it to be false, he would certainly be grudge our deputies' income, and probably strike for higher wages from his keepers for the "personal assaults" he makes on us thro' the Dem. k, Sent. B2The Bedford Inquirer states, that on the 2d inst., a Mr William Little, of Pattons ville, was married to a Miss Kate Pebble, of Friend's Cove. On reading the announcement, Punkins, who has an idea that he is exceedingly smart, undertook to make a pun on it by saying that "the fruits of that Union will be Little Peb bles''' We are glad to be able to inform our readers, however, that the attempt was a failure. EgTunkins became very much elated the other day on getting ofT the following conun drum : Why is the editor of the Dem. & Sent, very ma A like the Stone Fleet recently sunk off Charleston Harbor? . Because one is a blockade and the other is a blockAcaJ. We very much doubt whether anything better than that has been got oft" "since the time that Titus took Jerusalem," 37 J. Patton Thompson, Esq., of Phila delphia, although a Republican, admitted to us recently that Barker earnestly contended with him, in this town, on a certain occasion, that a negro is as good as a white man D. & S. Well, then, the statement of "J. Patton Thompson, Esq.," would have been quite as truthful, and perhaps more complete, if he had goue a step further and admitted that, on the occasion referred to, we were speaking of "Black Sam" .and the editor of the Democrat & Sentinel. i NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
