Jotting from Washington. Washington City, Jan. 21, 18G1. To the Editor of The Alleghanian : An incident occurred at Columbian College Hospital, thi3 city, on Monday of last week, which will possess unusual ioterest for the renders of The Alkghanian and for all Cambrians who have bad the pleasure ot an acquaintance in years gone by with that estimate gentleman and accomplished physician, Dr. Wm. A. ?inith, formerly of Ebensburg, afterwards Of Philadelphia, but since the breaking out of the Rebellion a Surgeon in the U. S. Army. The Dr. has been for many months one of the Surgeons in Columbian College Hospital, and the incident to which we have referred grew out of his connection with that institution. Your readers, I know, will not think the space in your paper misappropriated which shall give the particulars of that incident. Here they are : The patients and attendants in the 3d division of the Hospital, desirous of manifesting their esteem and regard for their ward Surgeon, had procured a very handsome American silver icver watch, with large gold key and guard, when, forming in .line, they marched to his quarters aud tendered the present. The visit was entirely unexpected, aud the- recipient, Dr. Win. A. Smith, was com pletely taken by surprise -at thi3 sudden IUI11 UUL VJ 1 kill. ill ' "J I . v. . - - Knapp, Co. 3i, 12Cth Ohio volunteers, then stepped from the ranks and spoke as follows: 'We hare come together, Dr. W. A. Smith, in behalf of Division No. 3, Columbian Col lege Hospital, for the purpose of pressing QTtoa rour acceptation this (present, as a alight testimonial of our sincere respect an esteem. Our connection witu you Has oeen of but short duration, yet, on your part, has been most intimate, friendly aud cordial. We have noted with pleasure and satisfaction your uniform kindness to us, and your watch ful care in the performance of your official duty. Your patriotism and integrity as a man, your fidelity and efficiency a3 an officer, are too well known to call for repetition here; yet they are traits worthy of our imitation, and have won . our confidence, respect and esteem. With this Blight memento of our Appreciation, take with yon our best wishes for your happiness and future success, hoping that the gates of plenty may be always open to jou, and when length of years has made you tired of thij earthly exfttonce, may the angels of heaven attend your bed and take care that the expiring lamp of life shall not receive one rude blast to hasten its extinc tion." Dr. Smith responded in a brief and e.loquent manner, and exhibited much emotion at this manifestation of feeling so unexpectedly evinced towards him. lie said that, surprised as he was, he hardly knew how to find words to express his feelings, .but from the bottom of his heart he thanked them for their kindness for their expression t-f good will toward him, and for the handsome present just made, which he regarded as worth more to him than its intrinsic value. He would endeavor to wear it through life, and a time rolled on he should cherish the recollection of the event3 of this day, for daily and hourly he would be reminded by this" "memento" of the gratitude of the sick and wounded toldicrs who had been under his care. To his children he hoped to trans mit this "tima piece," and felt assured they would look upon it as a legacy from those whose lives had been exposed whilst uphold ing the flag of the Union, and defending the Constitution under which we have all hereto fore lived so happily, and whose name3 would never be forgotten. He spoke of the cause in which they Ti ere all engaged the patiiotism of the soldier his sacrifices, diseases, wounds aud suitVriiig endured much of which he had witnessed during the rebellion and of the devotion of the American soldier to the insti tutions of hi3 country. Towards those who had. so kindly expressed their good wishes vo-day, he could only say that he cheerfully reciprocated their sentiments, and wished them a speedy restoration to health, and hoped ere long they might enjoy the blessing of peace amidst their laoulics and mends under the Hag of the whole Union. lie again thanked them for their kindncs3 and liberality towards him, and knew not What he had done to merit it; he bad only fndtavored to do his duty, and felt gratified that his exertions had given satisfaction. The list vf donors, which had also been handed to him, he should keep as well as the watch; and, in conclusion, remarked that every time be couutd the pulse of u sick or wounded soldier, he would ba reminded of those with who.m he had been so pleasantly connected in Columbian Hospital. - Upon the conclusion of the remarks, Dr. Smith was loudly cheered, and three cheers were given for the Union, when the Dien vere marched back to their quarters. Writing of Dr. Smith and his watch reminds mo that Dr. M'Kee, formerly a physician of HolUdaysburg, and who entered the army as an assistant surgeon some ten years ago, and who was subse quently taken prisoner by tne Rebels at the time of Twiggs' defection in Texas, is now the surgeon-in-chargo of Lincoln hospital, one of the largest "hospitals in the District of Columbia, and which receives a large proportion of the important surgical cases which come up from the front. The position is one of great responsibility and of much honor, and the Dr., I am pleased to say, is popular with the Government and his army of patients. The hospital is one of the best regulated in the District. The Dr. is still unmarried. As a humble member of the political party which did not help to elect Archi bald M'Allister a Member of Congress from the Congressional district of which Cambria forms a part, I take pleasure in bearing my testimony to his unswerving loyalty, hi3 sterling patriotism, and his zeal in the service of his constituents for many are the claims upon the services of a Congressman which are made by his constituents during this war for the Union. Mr. M'Allistcr is kind and obliging to all who seek his assistance, and to a degree too which might put to the blush the selfish conduct of a few members of this aud the last Congress who have injured the Administration party, to which they profess to belong, by their disregard of the obligations due from a Representative to his constituents, or by their cupidity in stuffing their own pockets at the expense of a bleeding country. But his manhood shows itself most in his love of country above party, and in his earnest, hearty support of the Administration in its effort to subdue the Rebellion, lie is a member cf the important Committee on Military Affairs, of which Gen. Schenck is chair man and Gen. Garfield a member. He is popular with all who know him, and promises to become one of . the influential, as he is one of the best looking Members cf the House. I have a letter from Col. Campbell, cf the 54th regiment of Pa. Vols., dated at Cumberland, Maryland, on the 18th inst. The Col., among other matters, speaks of the present situation of his regiment. He says that, on the night of the 4th inst., he was ordered to Cumberland, by General Kelly, with the 54th and a battery of artillery, -an attack on that town being expected. 'No attack however was made. Four companies of th 54th have again been stationed on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad- A, E, F, and K. The other six are still at Cumberland, and the Col. thinks they will remain there for the winter unless something extraordinary turns up. The boys are all well and in excellent health. J. M. S. CT 'Come in Out of tlic Draft !" Major-Gen. Hancock has issued the following circular, which will doubtless receive a hearty response from the hardy yeomanry of the State : Head-Quarters Recruitino Serv ice Second Corp3, Harrisburo, Pa., Jan. 15, 1864. Authority having been given me to recruit the d Corps to fifty thousand (50,000) men for such special service, under my command, as may be designated by the War Department, I appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania to aid me in filling up the regiments and batteries of my command, which owe their origin to the State. They are as follows : 81st, 140th, HGih, (battalion,) 148th, 53d, 145th, 71st, 72d, 09th and 106th regiments of infantry, and batteries F and G, 1st Pcnna. Artillery, and C and F, Iudependent Penna. -Artillery. Until the 1st of March next, the follow ing bounties will be paid by the General Government. For veterans 402 ; for others 302. All volunteers enlisted for this organ ization will be accredited to the city, county, town, township or ward which they may elect as the place to which they desire the credit given. , When no such election is made the enlisting ofiiccr will give credit to the place of enlistment. - Each locality is therefore interested in increasing the number of enlistments to the extent of its quota in the draft, aud any stimulus givcu by local bounties "or other efforts will have the effect of pre venting those who desire to volunteer, from leaving the places cf their residence and enlisting elsewhere, where the induce ments offered may bo greater. The same regulations that have hitherto governed enlistments in this State, as to the persons empowered to cniist, the rules for mustering and for furnishing trans portation aud supplies, will apply in this case. . Any one desiring to enlist in either of these organizations may do so in any part of the State by making application to the District Provost Marshal, or any recruit ing officer from the 2d Corps, no matter to which regiment said ofliccrs may be long. 1 have come among you "as a Pennsyl vanian, for the purpose of endeavoring to aid you in stimulating enlistments. As this is a matter of interest to all citizens of this State its quota being still nearly 30.000 deficient, 1 earnestly call upon you all to assist by exerting the influence iu your power in this importaut matter To adequately reinforce our armies in the field is to insure that the war will not reach your homes, and will be the means of bringing it to a speedy and happy conclusion, and of saving the live9 of many of our brave soldiers who would otherwise be lost by the prolongation of the war and indecisivebattles. It is only necessary to destroy the rebel armies now in the field to insure a speedy and permanent peace j let us all act with that fact in view j let it not be said that Pennsylvania which has already given so many of her citizens, to . this righteous cause, should now, at the eleventh hour, be behind her sister States in furnishing her quota of the men deemed necessary to end the rebellion. Some. States have filled their quotas ; others will do so j a little exertion on our part will soon fill all the decimared regiments of the State and obviate the necessity of a draft. Let it not be that those organizations which have won for themselves and their State so much honor, shall pass out of existence for the want of patriotism in the people. Unless these regiments are filled to the minimum strength they will soon cease to exist. If will be necessary to act quickly to insure success. Other States by having used greater exertions, and by the inducements of local bounties draw away your young men. By giving bounties at home, and stimulating the State pride you will secure to your regi ments that portion of the male population whose circumstances readily permit them to take the field. WINF'D. S. HANCOCK, M'j. Gen. TJ. S. Vols. Removing the Scat of Government. The Eastern newspapers inform us that a short time ago, Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, in speaking on the floor of Con gress about a railroad which it was proposed to build from New York to Washington, said that it would bcentirely unnecessary to build such a road, because he intended soon to bring in a biH to remove the seat of Government from the starving wilderness where it row is, to some place where people could get some thing to eat. The same newspapers inform us also that a majority of the members of both Houses of Congress are in favor of removing the seat of Government from Washington to some place in the North, and that they intend to go to work iu earnest before long to do it. . Beside this information, we know nothing of the temper of Congress in reference to this matter, but assuming that the members are of like spirit with other people, we can not but think that their temper is as the newspapers represent it. ,' To any one who is unacquainted with the controlling influence which slavery has always exercised upou our national affairs, it must be a mystery how the seat of Government ever found its way tq its present locality. In tho whole country there could scarcely have been found a place more unsuitable for it. At the time the scat of government was taken: to Washington, it was not a city or a town or even a village, except upon paper. It was a reeking swamp, at the edge of a short, niuday, sluggish river : and as for inhab itants, excepting frogs and musquitos, it may be fairly said to have had none. The country around it was a wilderness, with a sou so poor that it still continues a wilder ness, and is likely to be so for all time to come. Instead of being near the centre of the country, it was at its very edge: and it was entirely out of the way of travel, ot trade, and or commerce. It is now in the neighborhood of three quarters of a century since it was made the seat of government, and it still remains the same unwholesome swamp; it continues yet almost as much out ot the line of travel and commerce as ever, and except that immediately connected with Government, it has scarcely any business or population. To this day nobody goes there but those who are drawn to it by the fact of its being the national capital; and while there one is forced to breathe foul air, to drink bad, unwholesome water, to put up with 'uncomfortable lodgings and pauper fare, and to be content to pay from two to five prices for everything he gets. But Washington was in slave territory, its population was altogether pro-slavery, and so even it3 influences and surround ings. Nothing anti-slavery could be found there or could live there. It was only at the risk of his life that an anti slavery man could venture to go there. If a person was suspected of not being actually favorable to slavery, no matter how learned, how talented, how refined, how virtuous, how exalted lie might be, he was at once put under the ban of soci ety ; slights, indignities, insults, abuse ever heaped upon him, and if these did not drive him away, the bludgeon, or bowie knife, or pistol was sure to be brought to their aid. This was enough. No, matter how unsuited Washington might be, in other respects, to be tho seat of Government, this made up for all, and cured all its defects. This brought the Government under the direct immediate iufluence of pro-slavery opinions, pro- slavery manners, pro-slavery laws a pro sluvcry gospel, and a pro-slavery civiliza tion, and, consequently, rendered slavery as secure against assaults as such a bar barism could be anywhere in this enlight ened ago. It was for this purpose that the scat of Government was taken to Washington at first, and it was for this purpose, and this purpose alone, that it was so long kept there. But, with all these advantages, slavery- would not sustain itself. The force of modern civilization became too great for it to with stand. It began to feel is weakness, and became fretful j it perceived that its time must be short, and it was filled with wrath; it saw its doom approaching and became desperate. In its madness it aimed a death blow at the Government; it missed its aim ; the blow fell upon itself, and laid it low in the dust. While the slaveholders had the control of the Government, as they always had until the 4th of March, 1861, it was vain to think of removing the Capital from slave Territory into free. Anything like a serious attempt to do that, would at all times have been to the slaveholders a sufficient cause forsecession. The Capital, one hundred miles distant from the nearest free State, and in the heart of slave terri tory, was the securest prop that slavery could get or desire. It was a continual bond upon the non-slaveholders to keep the peace towards slavery. The present war has proved this so clearly that it is impossible to doubt it. When it broke out the Capital was in the midst of the rebels; they encompassed it on all sides ; they howled around it like a pack of ravenous wolves : and they were only prevented from breaking into it, and drinking the blood of the loyal officers of State, by the Northern people cutting their way through to it with the sword, and driving them away. No one can look at the events of the war without being satisfied that the fact of the Capital being in slave territory has been all along of more value to the rebels than the biggest and best army they have ever had. At the begin ning of the war Washington was literally a nest of traitors. Every place, from the President's mansion down through the whole chain of departments and offices, to the watch-boxes at the corners of the streets, fairly swarmed with them. The Government could form no plan, issue no order, take no step without these traitors being aware of it, and giving the rebel leaders immediate notice of it. At the same time their position enabled them to prevent the Government from learning anything about the rebels' plans. The same to a gTeat extent, still continues to be the'ease, and wiil continue to be the case as long as the capital remains in rebel territory. Besides, from September 1861 until the present time, it has taken an army of from 150,000 to 250,000 to guard Washington and prevent it falling into the hands of the rebels, and becoming their capital. Then why not remove it into loyal territory, when by doing so, we can free it from all these pernicious influ ences, and save to the country the vast expenditure of blood and treasure which they occasion ? But it will be asked where can it be taken to ? For ourselves we answer, Anywhere west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio; anywhere in the great, the free, the glorious Northwest. Bring it to Pittsburg, or if that is not far enough west, take it to Cincinnati. Both of these places are healthy ; both of them are on the great lines of travel and of commerce, and each of them, beside having unlimit ed river navigation, are the centre of an extensive system of railroads, They are both easy of approach on all sides and in all seasons ; arc both surrounded by a fertile rich farming country ; they both "have numerous first class hotels, and immense manufacturing and commercial business, an abundance of fuel, markets overflowing with everything that the most fastidious appetite can desire; and, to crown all, an intelligent, thrifty, hospita ble, moral, religious, and most intensely loyal population. In our view, one or the other of these cities is the place for the National capital, and a3 we are entirely unselfish, we will be satisfied with either ; but we insist, in the name-of all sensible, that it be removed from the wretched place where it is now situated. Com. The following bill, having passed both Houses, now only awaits the Presi dent's signature to become a law : "Articles of clothing, being manufac tured of wool, cotton, or linen, and comprised in a package not exceeding two pounds in weight, addressed to any non commissioned officer or private serving in the armies of the United States may-be transmitted in the mails of the United States at the rate of eight cents, to be in all cases prepaid, for every four ounces, or any fraction thereof, 'subject to such regulations as the Postmaster General may prescribe." 3i,The Philadelphia UbrlJi American of Saturday says that the Speaker of the State Senate having acquired positive knowledge that Senator White of Indiana county has resigned his scat in the Senate, and that the'resignation is in the hands of his father, J udgc White, has determined to put an end to the legiilative dead lock at llarrisburg, by issuing a writ, pursuant to the requirements of the law, calling for a special election in the Indiana Senatorial District to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation. -" gi, The "conscription act reported by the House Military Committee, contains but few amendments to the Senate bill. The most important is that it reduces the commutation clause to tho old sum of three hundred dollars, and provides that persons who are physically exempt, "but who have an income of twelve hundred dollars, shall pay tho three hundred dollars commutation, so that if physically unfit for service, they shall nevertheless con tribute the commutation price of a substi tute. . tS, Peter Smith, of Altoona, was seri ously if not fatally stabbed on Monday last by a man named Christ Fceny. Horrible Catastrophe. From tho Valparaiso Mercury, Dec. 17. A catastrophe, gigantic, horrible, unex ampled in the annals of our country and perhaps of the world, has absorbed every one's mind for many days past. We will use the utmost brevity in i elating the calamity to our foreigu read ers. Ever since the newly invented mystery of the Immaculate Conception of Mary was declared at Rome,in 1857, the church of the company, -formerly belonging to the Jesuits, had .become the focus of devotion of a vast Sisterhood called the Daughters of Mary, in which, on paymeut of somuch a year, almost all the women of our capital were enrolled. Every year from the 8th of. November to the 8th of December, the day of the Immaculate Conception, lasted a splendid festival, in which orchestral music, singing, and astonishing prodigality ot incense, of lights of oil, liquid gas, wax, and every luminous combustible in the world glittered and flared in every part, in the cornices, in ther ceiling, and particularly on the high altar. Every night the church blazed with a sea of flame, and fluttered with clouds of muslin and gauze draperies. It could only be lighted up in time by beginning iu the middle of the afternoon, and the work of extinguishing was ouly ended when the night was far advanced. In 1858 tjbey thought of adopting hydro gen gas, but the engineer's plan, though convenient and safe, wa3 rejected. A priest named Ugarte, whose mind Mariolatry had marked for its own, headed that Sisterhood from the beginning, and worked his way dowu to such a depth of supcrstitim, that one of his least extrava gances was the iuventioa cf a Celestial postvoffice trick, by which the Daughters ot Mary might correspond with the Virgin in writing. At the entrance of the teaople the Virgin's letter box was -constantly open, and there persons of a robust faith deposited in sealed letters their wishes and their prayers. ' Every Wednesday that letter-box for eternity was placed before the high altar, and Ugarte, who acted as postman between the Mother of God and her daughters, exhibited to the divinity those offerings of course keeping that singular correspondence to himself. This same mountebank got up a relig ious rafile for the favor of tho Virgin iu a rcent instance two prizes being drawn by a skeptical Minister of State and a woman whose character was not dubious. The old times of pagan idolatry had resusci tated iu tho center of exaggerated Catho licism. The church cf "the company," built in tho latter half of the seventeenth century, possessed a spacious nave, but a roof that dated only from fifteen years ago of painted timber. The only door of easy access to the congregation was the princi pal one. in the center, the small doors leading into the aisles, being opened only half way and obstructed by screens. Near the high altar there was a little door communicating with the sacristy. A few minutes before 7 iu the evening of Tuesday, the 8th -of December, more than 3,000 women and a few hundred men knelt in that church crammed to overflowing. - However that did not pre vent a compact mass of fanatics from attempting to fight their way in from the bteps, because it was the last night of the Month of Mary, and no one could bear to lose the closing sermons of the priest, Ugarte, who always succeeded by his exciting declamations in drowning in tears that place so soon to be a sea of fire- Then Eizaguirre, the Apostolic Nuncio and favorite of Pius IX. the founder of the American college at Rome, was to preach also. It is said that Ugarte, wounded in his feelings as chaplain of the -'Daughters of Mercy," bccau?a Eizaguirre had told him that the illuminations of his chufch could not be compared with what he had seen in Home, exclaimed with enthusiasm : "I will give him, when he comes to preach, such an illumination as the world has never seen." Nobody can deny that Ugarte has kept his word ! Iudeed, the lighting of all the lamps and candles had hardly finished wheu the liquid gas iu a transparency on the high altar, set on firo its woodwork and wrapped in flame a kind of tabernacle wholly com posed of canvas, pasteboard and wood. In less than two minutes the altar, about 23 yards high and 10 broad, was an inextin guishable bonfire. The advance of the fire was perhaps even more rapid than the panic of the audience. When the lire had flown from the altar to the roof, the whole flock of devotees rush ed to the principal door. Those near the lateral doors, were able to escape at the first alarm ; others, and particularly tho men. gained the little door of the sacristy, and lastly, those near the chief outlet forced their way through the throng, even still struggling to get in, and indeed part of which did get in, even in the face of the fire, stimulated by the desire of getting a good place, which on this occasion meant a good place to die in.. Then, the flames having crept along the whole roof, and consequently released the lamps of oil and liquid gas from the cornices to which they were strung, a rain of liquid, blue fire poured down upon the entangled throngs below. A nl3f and more horrible cpnflagration broke out then in that dense living mass, appalling the affrighted gaze with pictures tenfold more awful than' those wherein the (Jatholie imagination has labored to give an idea of the tortures of the damn ed. In le.s than a quarter of an hour two thousand human beings had perished including many children, but very few men. Although many heroic men perforin prodigies of daring and strength in tear , some from the death grasp of the phala - of death that choked the door ia E0CI cases literally tearing off their arm without being able to extricate them t' number of the saved by this means f-J short of fifty. More than five hundrel persons of our highest society hare tie ished tho greater part yousg girls fifteen to twenty years. Oae untar tia perished with her five daughters. X thirds of the victims were servants aaj there are many houses in which not oa has escaped. Several houses hare been noted by the police as empty, because all their inhabitants have perished. The people think of nothing but tl. victims and their obsequies. All WUa one voice demand the demolition of tie ruinous walls of the fatal temple and tie offering of a monument to the dear memory of th martyrs. The municipal body solicited this by the medium cl a commission on the 12th, and Government is resolved on compliance. Resistance is threatened on the part of the clergy; but such exasperating and indecorous foiiy would infallibly call forth a general rLin of the people. 0 "Peace Democrats." A "Peace Democrat," when our country is fighting for existence, is rather a ncvei ty. Usually, a Democrat, when he sce3 war made on the Stars and Stripes, "-oij in" for the old flag, without much inquiry as to whys and wherefore. To be ' ag'ia the cliDicru and in favor of the next war." used to be a test of Democracy. Rut in these days certain oracles of Dcmocucy tell us that they arc : Peace Democrats." Let us test their profession: Within the last two or three weelisire have had news from various quarters strongly indicating an early return cf Peace. The movement in Arkansas for the reorganization of that State as a Iojai liberty-loving member of the good old Union, is the most important. Its leader. Edrard W. Gautt, was chosen to Congress as an independent Democrat in Au"U 18C0j bsating Mitchell, the regular Dei ocratic candidate, iu the lid (Southern) District, by 3,502 rnajority. The secession of his State prevented his taking his seat and he became a rebel General. Sick cf the rebellion, he is now in Washington, it the head of a strong delegation, to arrange for the resurrection of Arkansas as a loyal Free State. And it is plain that a very large majority of the people of that State are with him in heart and aim. So Louisana is preparing to resume her place in the Union as a Free and there fore immovably loyal State. No one im agines that, being Free, she can evermore be other than loyal. A very large pro portion of her white freeman are actively enlitvi in the movement, and they expect to poll a majority vote of the lesidcct electors wheu their first election takes place. Extensive planters are ardently engaged in the work satisfied thit Sla very, whatever it may or might have been, has ceased to be useful, or even possible, in their State. One of the planters most active iu the movement was worth Three Millions of Dollars when theState seceded, and was in the Ilebel army at Shiloh ; he thinks he is worth One Million still, if we can have an early peace on tho basis of Free Labor, for which he is working, lie is astonished by the fact that he Ciu actually make Cotton and Sugar chesyer by free Labor than he ever could by Slave. Tennessee is likewise preparing to re organize under the President's Proclamation.- She will ba fully represented i Congress as a Free State, we trust, before the end of the present Session. As to old North Carolina, we prestos no one doubts that she would to-day vo'.u herself back into the Union under the President's Proclamation of Amnesty if she only had a chanco. She never rel!j seceded ; yet her .Unionists have beca conscripted by tens of thousands to fir-t for the Rebellion and been placed in the hottest lore-front of the battle I Mure North Carolinians have died for the liebtl cause than ever were heartily in favor of it. And now her people are calling for Peace in tones that must make the rickety usurpation at llichmond totter to its very foundations. These arc but samples of .the universal drift. - Thousands of the bitterest Seces sionist of '62 frankly admit in '04 tbat the Rebellion is "gone up." The very nicn who were crying in our streets, one llttlo ycarago, that the llobel array could never be 'put down by force," now assert that it is down and should be let up. They declared that the Proclamation of Free dom had ruined the Union cause; aaa now . they assert that the President fca' but to say so and the revolted States will all come back and resume their oil plaees in the Union ! Did they pretend any thing like this before tnat Proclamation Wtvs issued ? Could they ? What sort nf "Peace" men are they who suppress where they can and belittle every where else the evidences pouring in from every sido of the swift approach of a true and lasting Peace? Is Peace the real object of their desire? Are they noMJ the contrary, signaling the Kebels to hold out, and run for luck in the next President tial Election? 3TThe engineers on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago liailroad, on strike for higher wages several days week, have returned to work, the "crcf demanded having been granted by Company. , t."Ve print or. our outside t0'aJ . full account of the.rc-inaujjuration d C'urtir.. with his lnMigural Addie-s.
