Camp Ccrtix, Sept. 10, 1863,
despondence of The Alleghanian.
inasmuch as some of your old patrons
and acquaintances are members of our
company, and seeing that we have left
those behind who are not altogether in
different to our welfare, I have thought
proper to drop you these lines. Some
time during the early part of the summer,
the "War Department issue! an order for
the consolidation of the companies com
posing the 13th Penna. Cavalry, ajid for
the recruiting of a new battalion. A
great many ef the mountaineers of little
Cambria quitted the peaceful pursuits of
home and joined this new battalion, and
are now soldiers of the Union, in quest of
traitors. They are all practised marks
men, and will no doubt do good execution
when they are afforded an opportunity to
"draw a bead" oa the enemy.
We will not receive our horses and
equipments until we go to Alexandria.
Va., from whdtace we will be immediately
sent to the front where every true sol
diers wants to be. It were folly for a
vnn to start soldiering for three years
without making up his mind to do a little
fighting.
(Hr battalion are the only occupants of
this cusp at present. It is rumored that
tre will soon take up the line ot march,
when Catip Ccrtin will have become ef
fectual ly played out.
The Cambria boys arc all in the enjoy
ment of excellent health. Leander.
A Sad Occurs ence. We clip the
following from the Johnstown Tribune
On Sunday morning, Cth iust.,a little son
of Levi Holland, residing in the part
of Johnstown known as Ilornerstown,
while driving the family cow to the past
ure field by a rope around her horns, tied
the other end of the rope arouud his
body, and as the two thus proceeded the cow
from some cause became frightened and
ran, throwing tho boy down and dragging
lim for some distance over-a rough road
When found he was still tied to the cow,
and go shockingly mangled and bruised
as to be Scarcely alive. There are several
versions of the cause of the cow's fright
one that he attempted to ride the cow,
another that his hat blew off and fright
ened her, and another that he stumped
his toe and fell, and thus started
her but as there was no one with him at
the time, and nobody saw the occurrence,
and he was unable to speak for himself,
the cause or causes leading to it are left
to conjecture. The little fellow lingered
iu unconsciousness until about , three
o'clock, Monday morning, when death
relieved him of his sufferings. He was
aged about twelve years.
Ox the Muscle. A refreshing row
occurred iD Johnstown a few days since.
A recruiting officer, came 1 Sharrer, got
into a difficulty with some of the Copper
heads of that gay and festive burg con
cerning the arrest of a supposed deserter
by the former. At first the affair was
confined to words, but it soon took the
guise of blows. A general "pitch in"
fight ensued. The recruiting- officer's
friends were on the ground in force, and
tbe Copperheads were also well represen
ted ; so the "pitch in" was on rather an
extensive scale than otherwise. Pistols
ere drawn, brickbats propelled, . rude
bocks administered, and biting and
gouging given and. taken with a hearty
good will. No one was seriously injured,
Wver, in the melee, and all is quiet
once more on the Stony Creek. . '
The Institute. Our teacher friends
Should bear in remembrance that the fall
ession of the Cambria County Teachers'
Institute is to be held' at Wilmore on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 28th,
-Jth and 30th inst. Great efforts are'
Leing made to render the programme of
fxercises for the occasion as full and
ntercsting as possible, and the indications
Je that it will be a success. Teachers,
Sectors, and friends of Education gen
tral7, are invited to be present.
i Com'th. vs. James J. ItAtLofi. The
case which excited the taos't interest at
our Quarter Sessions, last week, wa that
of the Commonwealth vs. James J. Kays
lor, Steward of the Cambria county Poor
House.' This was an action for assault
and battery, alleged to have been com
mitted in June last, upon the person of
one Richard M' Williams', fhe prosecutor,
a pauper and inmate of the Poor House.
The faets of the case, as elicited by the
evidence! of the pTosecutofj we believe to
be substantially as follows : Kay lor, for
some alleged infraction of the rules of the
Poor House on the part of M Williams, in
June, made an assault on the latter, pre
cipitating him to the floor, kicking him
in several places, choking him, and oth
erwise doing him bodily harm. Altho'
the province of the Steward to inflict cer
tain descriptions of punishment upon
refractory paupers was not denied, this
exercise of brute force was thought to
transcend his authority in tho premises.
Accordingly action was brought to de
termine whether knocking down and
dragging out was in order in the Poor
House. The case occupied a couple of
days in its trial, and many facts relative
to the inside workings of the Poor House
Were brought to light, which, if strictly
true, reflect no little discredit upon those
in power in and about that institution.
Eminent counsel was employed on both
sides, and no stone was left unturned to
prove the guilt aud innocence, respective:
ly, of the defendant. Although the evi
dence of the prosecutor on some points
was pretty full, and his story of wrong
and oppression confirmed to a certain
extent by the evidence of others, still it
was thought insufficient for the conviction
of Mr. Kay lor. After a retiracy to their
private room for about an hour, the jury
returned with a verdict of not guilty, but
that the defendant pay half the costs.
In his charge to the jury, the Judge laid
down the maxim that the 'application by
Mr. Kaylor, or any other man, of any
unnecessary amount of forco to compel
obedience to the requirements of the Poor
House regulations all unnecessary, or
excessive, or too finely wrought demon
sttations of a physical character the
unmerciful beating and disfiguring of a
fellow man constituted assault and bat
tery which is not only law but common
sense. The evidence against Mr. Kaylor
was given principally by inmates of the
Poor House.
We rejoice that Mr. Kaylor a Cam
bria county public official has thus been
vindicated from the charges preferred
against him. Had the result been other
wise had he been convicted on the evi
dence of M' Williams and the others
then indeed would he have been proven
and written down a tyrant
"Whose withering influence ran
Through all the influence of he mind,
And suiote and mildewed man."
Order Xo. 1. Annexed is the initial
ordinance relative to the government of
our Mar bet House as promulgated by the
borcugh authorities :
An Ordinance : It is hereby ordained and
enacted by the Burgess and Town Council of
the borough of Ebensburg, that a regular
Market shall be established within the limits
of the said borough, to be held at the Market
House in the borough ; that the market days
shall be on Tuesday and Saturday of each
week, the market to be opened at 5 o'clock
and closed at 10 o'clock, A. M. ; that no
marketing shall be exposed to Bale, sold,
bartered, or huckstered, within the borough,
on Monday and Friday of each week, or on
said market days before 10 o'clock, A.M.;
that this ordinance shall go into operation at
the end of, ten days from the publication
hereof by handbill, (at which time a code of
rules and regulations for the government of
the market will be published ;) and that all
persons violating this ordinance shall be lia
ble to forfeit and pay to the borough a fine
of not less than one nor more than ten dol
lars, at the discretion of the Burgess.

From A Distance. The Bedford In
quirer pays the following merited compli
ment to a gentleman with whom the
majority of our readers are well acquain
ted : "We notice that our old friend,
Capt. Litzinger, of Belsano, CanJbria co.,
is an independent candidate for Register
and Recorder of that county. We don't
know any one. that we would sooner see
ejected than tho Captain. He certainly
has the qualifications to make a splendid
officer. We hope to be'able to record his
election, although a Democrat, by an
overwhelming majority."
Owing to a press of business, tho ex
amination of the conscripts of this countv.
we understand, has been deferred for the
period of nearly a month- that is to say,
until about the middle of October. This
fact will necessitate the serving of other
notices upon Abraham's cbocen, informing
them of the lucky procrastination in their
favor. ' ' ""
Wanted: Book-keepers, Clerks, and
Active Men for Business. Owing to the
changes caused by the war, there exists
throughout the country a most wonderful
demand for competent and skillful book
keepers, clerks, &c. So great is this
demand that notwithstanding the number
of students at the Iron City College,
Pittsburg, Pa., has been more than
doubled during the past year, it has not
been able to supply the calls made upon
it for book-keepers and clerks. Young
men contemplating a preparation for bus
iness, which this vear promises to be more
active than usual, should avail themselves
at once of the advantages, afforded by this
popular institution, and prepare them
selves for fall and winter business.
Promoted.- It gives us much pleasure
to announce that Adjt. R. A. M'Coy, of
the llth Penna. Reserves, ha3 been pro
moted to the Majority of the regiment to
which he belongs, vice Major Speer,
resigned "Dob" has been a soldier since
the very outbreak of the rebellion, and
has participated in all of the many battles
in which the Reserves were engaged! He
has always done his duty gallantly and
well, reflecting honor alike upon himself
and his native county. May hi3 future
career, like his past, be upward.
Fatal Accident. A man named
William Coulter, a resident of Summit
ville, this county, was instantly killed
near Johnstown, on Saturday last, by fal
ling off a freight train in full motion.
lie fell upon the track, several cars pas
sing over him and literally cutting him
to pieces. His remains were taken to
Summitville on Sunday and interred
The deceased was a brakeman, and enga
ged in the duties of his avocation when
he met his death.
It seems to be a settled fact that no
Fair will be held inside the limits of this
county the present autumn. A State Fair,
however, will be held at Norristown, near
Philadelphia, on the 29th and 30th days
of September, inst., and the 1st and 2d of
October, to which all who are so inclined
and who possess a sufficiency of the ?pon
dulix can go and put in a pleasant time.
Excursion tickets will be issued on the
various railroads.
A Card. Philadelphia, August 15,
1863 Ed. Alleghanian : At a stated
meeting of the members of the Cooper
Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, it
was unanimously resolved to tender Mr.
James R. Cooper, of Summcrhill, Cambria
county, a vote of thanks for his kindness
in forwarding to our institution a lot of
poultry and eggs, which were received in
perfect order and duly appreciated.
Respectfully, Wu. M. Macll, Sec'y.

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of
the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recom
mend Patent Medicines in general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effects ; I
yet know of no sufhcient reasons why a man
may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope that he may thus
contribute to the benent of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to
Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr.
C. M. Jackscn, of this city, because I was
prejudiced against them for many years,
under the impression that they were chiefly
an aclohohc mixture. 1 am indebted to my
friend Robert Shoemaker., for the removal of
this prejudice by proper tests, and for en
couragement to try them, when suffering
froni great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followed
by evident relief, and restoration to a degree
of bodily and mental vigor which I had not
felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. I therefore thank
God and my frien4 for directing me to use
them. J. NEWTON BROWN.

Philadelphia, Augcst 12, 1862.
Dr. C. M. Jackson Dear Sir : While in
Virginia, owing to the change of water, I was
taken with a severe diarrhoea, which seemed
incurable, and which greatly weakened me.
When we reached Martinsburg, I feared that
I should have to come home ; but noticing
some of your Bitters in the store of Mr. II. II.
Price, in that town, I purchased a supply, and
on taking it was speedily restored to health.
The diarrhoea was quickly checked, and I
experienced no return of it. A number of
my comrades who suffered in the same
manner and from the same cause, with whom
I shared the Bitters, join me in this certificate.
I expect to return to the seat of war with the
Legion, and I shall certainly take a supply of
the Bitters in my knapsack. I would not be
without it for its weight in gold, particularly
on going into a limestone region.
