MJLl THURSDAY :JULY 31. LOCAL AND PERSONAL From Our Volunteers. Late and Reliable from Co. A, llth Reserve! (Cambria Guard) Their Participation in the Battles beore Richmond List of Killed and Wounded, $c, J"C. Correspondence of The Alleghanon. Eellevue Hospital, New York, July 25. 16G2. j This being the first opportunity affor ded roe of corresponding since the battles before Richmond, I baste to send you a list of tbe killed and wounded of Co. A. I Our company did noblv. "We were first " engaged' with the enemy on Thursday I evening. We were then on picket, but when tbe battle reached the picket line, j "our company waa ordered in as skirniish I erg. "We shortly discovered the Rebel ' 6kirmiber3 were advancing their lines to 4 email tail-race which emptied into the 'Chickahominy. We charged down to it l and captured a North Carolinian, who I'kurrcntjered to Sergt. John E. Scanlan. I The 7th Tenn. opened upon our right, J'where tbe Captain was, obliging -him to Vorder a retreat, as we were then between -two fires. I remained with the 2d pla ftoon, we being nnder good cover, but the Rebels did not advance their skirmishers iagain. We were engaged two hours, Vhen Adjt. M'Coy relieved "us with two fcoraoanies. We did not lose a man, and ' remained tipoh the battle-field all night. 1 We returned to camp neit morning to J?et provisions and breakfast, but got no jjbreakfast, by reason that orders came to double-quick back to the battle-field. We did so, when orders reached us to retreat jto Gaines house. There was a good deal I of dissatisfaction expressed at this order, land we executed it with reluctance, it be ting known that 6,000 of the Reserves had f repulsed time and again 22,000 Rebels, (IIi!rs and Longstreet's divisions,) and it ivAS believed that we could thrash them jcasily by being reinforced. However, back we feU, and remained inactive, (our regiment being heM as a reserve,) until a juarter of 4 P. 31., when we were order jed to relievo the 4th New Jersey. We 3 went with a vll. bh1 manv a 7-J.rlil 1 i fr. . j ftlie dust when the llth opened upon Jthem with their ioinies. Capt. Lewis fell jthe first fire, wounded in the Tight knee. ! Nobly did the Cambria J!uards stand to ;ihe work. Cambria has no reason ti . Llutih at the name of her sons. I was wounded below the riht knee ne hour before the capture of our regi Jiueut. When I was carried o3 the field, - there was no one left to command the company but 4th Sergt. Clias. A. Fagan, the re being either wounded or absent with wounded comrades. , I Our regiment remained four hours un ;.dr fire. The Rebels formed four lines of jbsttle during this time, showing that wc jhnd been contending ajrainst four times cur number. The 4th New Jersey and tilth Reserves held the centre, while the fright and left retreated. The first inti iiation wo had of their retreat was the lUbfcls in front, on both flanks and in the rear of us demanding our surrender ! It the general belief that we were saeri fird to sav the remainder of the Re Bcrvcs. Too much cannot be said in praise of pur Colonel and staff officers. They were in all places, encouraging the men by word And example. Adjt. M'Coy was as cool h a cucumber as much eclf-posetsed as if the battle were nothing but a drebs pa rade. In company with eight of our boys, I lay upon the battle-field twenty days, most of the tiiu in a negro hut. The horrors the battle are nothing compared with remaining on the field, among the dead nd wounded. The sufferings of the Mvouuded were terrible, no attention hav ing been paid them, or a majority of them, t it five days. Tbe name of Surgeon Whit, of Martindale's brigade, deserves o be cursed by every Northern man. His tyranny and barbarism were unparalleled, ptle allowed the men to lie four end five , Jdy without dressing their wounds, thus producing excruciating pain to the puffer vanians. I understood the orders were to sail to Philadelphia. Things look terriblo in Richmond, and prices are enormously high. Coflee, poor article $2.50 per lb ; tobacco, SI. 00 per Ibj dried apples, 5.00 per bushel j'shoes, 310 to 820; boots, S30 to $50. Rebel officers have to pay high for their uni forms coat ai00, pants' 935 to $40! They are very anxious to get gold and silver. Two dollars in specie brings a five dollar Confederate note. Wo expe- J rienccd no difficulty in disposing of. our Treasury notes. They passed the same as Confederate treasury notes. Gens. M'Call and Reynolds, together with all the Union officers lately taken, are in a tobacco warehouse on 18th street, between Maine and Carey. M'Call and j Reynolds pay $IG per week board, which I a r o u i tt iuey receive jrum me opuiuswuuu. aauusc. Lieut. Jones is on Bell's Isle, with a por tion of our prisoners. Capt. Lewis died July 2 ; his leg was amputated above the knee. The following is a list of the killed and wounded, as far as heard from : Killed. Capt. A. Lewis, Richard Jones, John Gillespie, Jacob Boring, George K. Brown, Wounded. Sergt. J. E. Scanlan, Thomas Williams, William A. Leavy, John M'Bride, George M'Broom, Richard R. Davis, David T.

Ilalariau O'Connell, Daniel Helman sup posed to be killed. All of the wounded are convalescent. Seventeen men were not in the fight, hav ing bean . detailed and in the hospital. JAMES C. BURKE, 1st Lieut. Co. A, llth Regt. P. R. V. C. . Richard R. Davis and William Powell, both of Co. A and wounded, anived'at New York with Lieut. Rurke. In a list of Pennsylvania prisoners taken from City Point, Friday, July 25, on board the steamer State of Maine, to Fortress Mon roe, we find the names of Thos P. Dumm, David T. James, J. J. Gillespie and Wm. A. Leavy, all of Co. A. 'txs ! Our wounded who were unable to dress their own wounds got along well. An assistant .Surgeon furnished me with ! Chapter or Accidents. A singular fatality seems truly to have enshrouded Saturday of last week. . The number of accidents all of them of a serious char acter occurring on that day are without a parallel in our recollection. The fol lowing are such as we have heard : At an early hour in the morning, a portion of the mason-work of the reservoir which feeds the western division of the Penna. canal with water, located in Rich land township, gave way. The reservoir is emphatically a "big thing," it being three miles long by two miles wide, and the water sixty to seventy feet in depth. The vast torrent thu3 released did consid erable damage to property, the most se rious of which was the washing away of a portion of the railroad track at South Fork, thereby delayius the trains several hours. The people of Johnstown which town is fiituate in a gorge through which the torrent would inevitably pass were terribly frightened at the prospect of be ing "wited out" a la Noah's flood, but beyond a very perceptible rise in the two rivers thereabout, nothing occurred to confirm their fears. A little boy named Young, while dri ving a wagon containing an iron safe up a hill in the vicinity of Johnstown most likely in anticipation of the "coming of the waters' was almost instantly killed by the safe slipping from the wagon and falling upon him. A visitor sojourniug at Cresson had his nose almost completely severed from his face by a window falling upon him while in the act of taking on observation. A man, attempting to get on a freight train in motion, at Johnstown, missed his hold and fell, the train passing over and cutting off one of his hands. A woman, at the same place, by some means unfortunately fell off a load of hay, thereby breaking her back. A little son of Joseph Cole, in Carroll town, fell of a tree and dislocated his col lar bor.e. The Cambria Guards.

We are sorry to learn that Mr. George J. Roberts, of Co. A, llth Penna. Reserves, died in a hospital in Rhode Island last Tuesday, after a pain ful and protracted illness. He joined the company as a piivate upon tbe occasion of its "removal from-Camp Wright to Vir ginia, a little over a year ago, and shortly after was promoted to 3d corporal.

We are glad to- learn that Mr. Abel Lloyd has been appointed Agent of the Ebensburg and Cresson Railroad at this place, his appointment to date from August 1st.

There is, per haps, no institution in the country that has been so well sustained during the war as tbe Iron City College, of this city, and certainly none more deservedly so. This school, which has so long taken the lead iu imparting to young men a thorough practical business education, was never, all things considered, in a more prosper ous condition than at present. The per fection of its drill is truly wonderful, as may be seen in the workmanship of its graduates, which challenges comparison with that of any other similar institution in the world.
