Never since the first suggestion to raise and tender to the Government the services of a company of volunteers composed of. jaen vrho have passed the age of two-and-a fourth scores of years, has so great en thusiasm hecn manifested in our quarters as "reigns supreme" this evening. On yesterday, Capt. Palmer marched a squad of twenty-three recruits for the Silver brays to the office of the mustering-in officer "detailed by the War Department to -crfurm tliat duty in connection -with this camp. Our roll at present numbers ci"bty-six, being three in excess of a minimum, who are now regularly marshal ed under the National Flag. , No doubt ve will steadily progress until wo reach he maximum of one hundred and one. let our friends at home give three times three for the gray-haired veterans of the 3Iountain, and make the very welkin ring with cheer upon cheer for Little Cambria and her patriotic sons. A most interesting scene was exhibited the other day, while the companies in camp were on dress parade. The glori ous news of the success of the Federal arcis in Kentucky had just been received, Ter telegraph, by Governor Curtin. At the close of the parade, the substance of the telegram was announced to the line by tho commanding officer. The words had scarcely passed his lips ere they were re sponded to by one wild, joyous, spontane ous peal, which seemed to spring forth from the heart of hearts of those there extended in battle array. "When the Silver Grays were marchrd to the front of their quarters, they could not let pass the opportunity of manifesting their delight by giving an extra 4huzza" upon their own hook, and after the style of home. It has been officially announced that Camp Curtin will hereafter he the only wau)p in Pennsylvania that will be recog nized by the General Government. The camp h&a passed from the management of the State authorities to those of the Uni tol States. The recruiting for the army be controlled by officers detailed by the War Department at Washington. Thia change docs not meet with favor, nor will it be attested by t?iat success which has followed the efforts of Governor Uurtin and his subordinates. Our own volunteer system is more agreeable to the chcrifched notions of a free people than is that which distinguishes the regular ser vice. When men voluntarily offer them selves to their country for its defence, and, with no object other than that which ie prompted by an unflinching attachment t Liberty and its perpetuation, they nat m&lly desire to determine who shall lead them in the contest. The respective States, under their own State laws, have 1-een able to raise in an almost incredibly short space of time uch an army of free men as the world never saw. An aggre gate of more than six hundred thousand hanipicns of Freedom have ''hastened to the rescne" of our beloved country from the destruction threatened by Traitors who have been warmed into existence by her fostering care and protection. Could such a result have been secured by the adoption a recruiting programme similar to that f the regular sepyice? I opine not. "I sin neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet," but I venture to predict that tic "new plan" will not work, and that, w far a$ the Keystone is concerned, it will be admitted that it would have been hotter frj have left tho recruiting of vol unteers tj be managed by the State Ex ecutive, under our own State laws. Gov. V-'urtiu ha3 accomplished so much, thereby Uprising both friend and foe, that it is 'ii2icult to assign any good reason for the change. Enough on this subject, but "we ill see what we will see." it is now rendered more than probable that the Silver Grays will be quartered in Harrisburg. and act as guard of the arsc 51 and stores. When the spring opens, the company will be one of the best drilled then in arms, and ready for the discharge any duty assigned it. The "lads" are a'l anxious to "smell powder" before the end of the war, but, like provident men, they wish to have tho advantages in the 1't which a military education affords, nd which -we will acquire under the in duction of our Captain and First Lieu tenant during tho winter. Tho officers, uimissioncd and non-commissioned, have . e opportunity of becoming well booked drill, fhe Government having pro Trfd tevo of the most skilful tnsfruttors that could bo found. This school is open frm 8.30 in the morning until 4 in the evening, the time being divided between tho commissiontd and non-commissioned officers. The course of study is a thoro' one, so that any student possessing even a modicum ot brains may, by prompt atten tion become perfect in the different branches of the science. The information thus acquired by the officers is communi cated to their respective commands, and, by this system of transmission, each sol dier may possess himself of a fair share of the general stock. Tho Silver Grays are acknowledged to be the most reliable of any soldiers in camp for tho discharge of the duties of guards. Several large details have been made from our company within the last few weeks for this service, and, on divers occasions, the Grays wero especially com plimented by the officer of the day for their prompt and faithful performance of duty. The "breaking of guard" and the "bringing of intoxicating liquors into camp" are the most frequent violations of the "Rules and Regulations." These sins against discipline can scarcely ever be successfully carried out unless some one of the guard be a jyarticps crimitiis. The Silver Grays being, like Caesar's wife, abovo suspicion, are never approached by any ono contemplating a violation of the laws of the camp. As an illustration of this fact, I need only relate to you the following anecdote : A few nights ago, while some thirty of the Grays formed a portion of the guard, a couple of "soldier boys" marched around the line, for the purpose of discovering a weak point thro' which to "run the blockade." When they came to the Grays, one cf the de signing chaps, after having scrutinized the visages and gray locks of the "Old Fellows" as they quietly marched from terminus to terminus of their respective beats, exclaimed to the other "Jack, 'let's go further ; it's no use trying here we can't pass. These are the d d old 'Silver Grays !' " I am compelled to postpone for another week the promised description of an in teresting ceremony, in the shape of a sword presentation. The officer who was the recipient in the affair is now absent from camp, and I design awaiting his re turn fcad having his consent ere I take the liberty of giving publicity to that which I know was intended by the .parties to bo an entirely private affair. For the present farewell ! Hion Private. Important to Post Masters. The attention of Post Masters in Cambria County, and elsewhere, is called to the fact that many letters, mailed without postage stamps, marked "Pai r 3," in writing, are subject to payment of postage again by the persons to whom they are sent. The difficulty can be easily obvia ted, if Post Masters throughout the Coun ty will strictly comply with tho Post Office Regulations, which require, that when postage stamps cannot be procured, and letters mailed are paid in mouey, they must be marked "Paid 3," with a mar king stamp. Such Post Masters as are destitute of marking stamps should imme diately make application to the Post Office Department for them. Sudden DEATn. -Ono day last week, as Mr. John Frieee, of Blair County widely known as the proprietor of "Friese's Hotel" at the foot of the mountain was returning home from Crcsson in a 6leigh, by himself, ho was seized with a sudden illness which speedily terminated his earthly career. It is pot known precisely when and where he died, as we are in formed that when discovered he was ly ing stiff and cold in tho snow on the other side of Summittville, tho sleigh having upset and thrown him out. An inqnest was held on the remains, and a verdict returned to the effect that the deceased came to his death by reason of an affection of the heart. Railroad. At the annual election of the Ebensburg and Cresson Railroad Com pany held on Monday, 13th inst. the following officers were chosen for the en suing year : President A. A. Barker. Directors Edward Robert?, Johnson Moore, John Williams, George Rodger?, A. C. Mullin, Abel Lloyd, Richard Jones, Jr., Robert Davis, Henry Foster, Isaac Evans, James Myers, Thomas Griffith. Local Improvement. An crlterpri sing gentleman from Blair county, named M'Graw, has purchased a strip of real es tate near tho depot of the Ebensburg & Cresson Railroad, where he intends erect ing at an early day afirst-clas3 restaurant, We hope, and haven't the least doubt, that the enterprise will "pay." His se lection of the location indicate! that he known what's what. Joiinstown Items. The recent flood, caused by the sudden melting of the snow and a goodly fall of rain combined, had the effect of again demolishing, sweeping away, and otherwise successfully using up that ill-fated bridge across the Stony Creek, at Johnstown, thereby effectually cutting off all but aquatic communication between that point and Kernville. An elderly woman named Manan, while walk ing on the railroad between Johnstown and Conemaugh, on Wednesday afternoon, was knocked down by a passing train and had both her legs eo badly injured that it is supposed amputation of both feet will be necessary. F. W. Hay femnd him self iu a bad predicament the other mor ning. On going to tho safe in which his books, papers, etc., had been locked up the preceding night, he found that the key persistently refused to unlock it. Persuasion and force were alike unavail ing, so he wlis obliged to ship tho safe to the makers at Philadelphia, and solicit thoir inteference in his behalf! The Clinton street merchant who recently had a sum of money mysteriously abstracted from his store-drawer, says that he has acquired sufficient information to acquit "the gentlemanly letter writer'' from com plicity in purloining the eame. It was not that man, but another man. Cellar thieves and measles are prevalent in the "Mineral City." The above items are condensed from the Cambria Tribune. New Schedule. A new schedule went into operation on the Pennsylvania Railroad on last Monday, 27th inst.
