Tiie Correspondent Turns Poet!
Dr. Chyles Mackay, correspondent extra
ordinary o f the London Time to America,
and now locatory in Baltimore, has been
refreshing himself latterly with a ride
over the Pennsylvania Railroad. He had
fceen out in Ohio seeing and conferring
with' Vallandigham, Charles, en passant,
is a most intolerant secession sympathizer,
and wa3 returning, when an accident
occurred on. the road. He mentions this
fact incidentally, aDd then goes on to nar
rsrte, to the Times, what he saw, what he
did, how he did it, and all about it, after
entering Cambria county. Thus :
" All right go ahead V
After, waiting six long hours,
And with hunger almost dead,
JJews came that the track was mended,
Aad the train soon went ahead.
Johnstowji. -Soon
we passed a place called Johnstown,
Filled with iron founderies.
Where the people all were working
Like a lot of busy bees.
A great bore Kiss in the dark.
Then we came to a great tunnel :
Near me sat a pretty miss,
And when all waa dark as midnight,
Quick from her I stole a kiss.
Strategy.
"Oh!" she cried the people shouted,
And before we reached the light
1 was peering through the window,
In my seat again all right.
"Cresson is its name.'
After passing the great tunnel,
To a place we quickly came
I'pon the highest mountain top,
And Cresson i3 its name ;
2,300 feet above the level of the sea.
Many people in the summer
To this pleasant spot repair,
To enjoy its cooling waters,
And its pure fresh mountain air.
Altoona.
At Altoona we took breakfast,
It was one o'clock or more ;
Such . hungry lot of mortals
I ne'er lafd eyes on before.
Short commons.
All the good things on the tabie
Iu short time did disappear.
And we all went shouting wildly
"Quick, bring more breakfast here!"
Hanky b.oy with a big mouth.
When I went to pay for breakfast,
Said the landlord "We must charge
Yoa just double price for breakfast,
For your iuouth so awful large !"
More strategy.
"I don't see i" I said, "dear sir;
But just charge ;t if yon will ;
Aud while vou are about it,
Send to Uncle Sam the bill !'
To Dr. Mackay, the field of poesy is no
tew thin''. He has basked in it from his
O
jcu'h up. It may be said of hirr, as it was
iail cf another prodigy, that "he Ib-ped
in Eurnbers, for the numbers came." lie
possesses a rare reputation as a correspon
dent for the public press, and no one can
truly say that he is net just as good a
poet as he is a correspondent. His en
chanting story of how, four or five years
ao, he went "floating, idling, dawdling
!own the Mississip" in a steamboat, was
hft wrote it a c7ief
icevtre of descriptive rhyme, and the
fragment we present our readers as above
we are sorry it is only a fragmentis
proof conclusive that with the lapse of
time ho his lost none of his former pecu
liar poetic fire. We may add that we are
not surprised the gentleman, feeling a
jaunt across the Alleghanies to bo a sub
ject calling for the loftiest exercise of his
sabl-meat talents, sank the prose to which
has' accustomed himself for some time
past, acd gave us, in lines that jingle
tt the end, a reflex of his thoughts, and
tmotions, and actions. His naive expose
of how he stole a kiss in the dark wo
ronder whether he's married! stamps
Vira at once as a gay and festive cuss,
Mle his delineation of points along the
route will commend itself to our local
Naders as eminently truthful, and evi
dence of an uncommonly observant mind.
Bat how the Doctor good, observant fel
W that he is was able, while journeying
from Johnstown eastward, to arrive at
Cresson after passing through the "great
tocuel," is more than we can see. "We,

oWrtoppi D of that constitutional fail-
ing peculiar to "our own correspondent,
especially in his moments dedicated to the
interest of the Times, of distorting the
truth and making things appear as they
are not! TVe leave the reader to decide.
Etchings. Hot l hotter ! ! hottest ! ! !
The very heavens seem to be inciting with
the intense heat, and the earth, from pole
to pole, is "undistinguished blaze." Is
the millcnium approaching, and has the
sun become metamorphosed into a globe
of molten lead, to consume alike -the riaht
epus and sinners ?' Or is this "stretch"
of scorching weather only a dispensation
of Providence to punish "Old Lincoln
and them old fellows," through the peo
ple, lor their manifold transgressions as
we heard a yeoman from the extreme
north of the county remark was the case!
The thermometer has ranged from 90 to
100 in the shade for three weeks, and
for three weeks it has failed to rain. The
result is, vegetation is being burned to a
crisp, the real estate on and along the
streets and roads has become dust, and all
our wells are going dry ! The words of
the poet suit our case precisely where he
says that
, "Distressed nature pants,
The very streams look languid from afar,
Or, through th' unsheltered glade, impatient
seem
To purl into the cover of the grove."
If we were salamanders, an over-dose of
caloric wouldn't hurt us particularly : as
it is why don't it rain!.. .We are happy
to chronicle the- arrival in our midst of
our young friend, Mr. John II. Evans,
who has been rusticating in the oil re
gions for, the past year and more. He is
looking gay and genial as usual, as though
the climate of his new home agreed with
him fully. To prevent undue inquiry on
the subject, we may as well state here as
not that the gentleman has not "struck
ile" as yet. "We wish him plenty of en
joyment during his stay with us. ...We
refer our readers to the professional card
in another column of Dr. T.' C. S. Gard
ner, who has. settled down and "hung out
his shingle" in our midst. He bears an
enviable reputation, and comes well re
commended as a medical practitioner, and
we feel justified in bespeaking for him
the favor of our citizens The quota of
Cambria county under the Governor's call
for twenty-four thousand one-hundred day
militia is 242.

of U. S. taxes for the 17th district has

Saw Mill Burned. The steam saw
mill of Messrs. Pryco & Griffith, situated
in Cambria township, about four miles
north of Ebensburg, was burned to ashes
on Friday night last. The principal part
of the machinery, aloug with the other
contents, was consumed. The mill was a
comparatively new structure, and had
been in running operation only a few
weeks. It is not known how the fire was
communicated to it. The loss, which is
estimated at 01,500, must needs bear
heavily on the gentlemen who invested
their capital in the concern, and whose
enterprise was just beginning to reap its
legitimate reward of profit.
Get Out of tiie Draft ! Now that
another draft of five hundred thousand
men has been ordered by the President,
it behooves the people cf the various sub
disfricts of this county to go to work at
once to fill their quotas. Remember that
commutation will not now exempt from
service. According to the provisions of
the Conscription law as last amended,
every drafted man liable to duty must
either serve in person or send a substi
tute. Substitutes evn now command
"fancy prices," so your cheapest and best
plan to escape' military duty is to put in
your quotas. Go to work I
LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. .
CAPT. M. M'DONALD, CO. If, 12TH PA. CAVALfiT,
MORTALLY WOUNDED TOTAL LOSS OF SAME
COMPAUT IH BATTLE OP FREDERICK COJTPA.-
JfT GONE FOR "ONE HUNDRED DATS," AC.
Johnstown, July 17, 18G4.
Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
The telegraph last week brought us the
painful intelligence that Capt. M. M'
Donald had been mortally wounded, on
the 10th inst., whilst leading a cavalry
charge against the rebels at Frederick,
Md. Later intelligence confirms this, and
some few particulars are given. With
the impetuosity and bravery characteristic
of this gallant young officer, he was lead
ing his men forward, when they received
a full volley from the enemy, killing
three of his men, and wounding the Cap
tain in the hip and through the breast,
just below the heart. His horse fell dead,
pierced by nine balls. And thus closes
the short but brilliant career of a young
man who entered the service of his coun
try through no mercenary motives. As a
private under Capt. LintoD, in the three
mouths service, he evinced a restless long
ing for adventure which no circumstances
or aurrcundiogs could curb, and shortly
after his return home he enlisted in the
cavalry, as more likely to satisfy his bold,
dashing spirit than any other branch of
the service. Dy promotion he rapidly
advanced from the ranks to the Captaincy
of his company. ,As is attested by his
men, fear was a total stranger to him.
lie was relied upon for dangerous scouting
service beyond any officer in his division,
and became of great use in keeping in
check the guerilla bands which infest the
valleys of Virginia. A few weeks ago,
as I stated in your paper, he was dismiss
ed the armv, but it was found his services
could not thus easily be dispensed with,
and when next we hear of him, it is at
the head of his company, in the command
of which he had been honorably reinsta
ted, with his face to the foe. I hope to
be pardoned for thus alluding so particu
larly to the career of this brave officer.
For years I have been intimately acquain
ted with him, and could not but admire
his manly and generous spirit, and the
principle which led him to say, as he did
in my hearing, that "he had embarked in
the cause of his country, and would not
sheathe his sword until her Batioual honor
wa3 again restored." lie may die from
his wound;?, but his memory will linger
with his many friends in this locality long
after his body shall have mouldered to its
primitive dust.
The names of the killed in Co. M, 12th
Cavalry, in the engagement, are Sergt.
Singer and Frank Gallagher, the -latter a
substitute, from this place, and John
Griffith. There were two wounded, whose
names I did not learn. I have just re
ceived a letter from Seigt. Herd, of the
12th, who states that the wounded are
receiving the kindest attention from the
ladies of Frederick, and that outside of
the above casualties the company is all
right.
A number of meetings were held here
iast week, for the purpose of raising mi
litia for the one-hundred days service. A
squad of sixty left for llarrisburg on Sat
urday, under charge of W. It. Joues, and
T. L. lleyer will .follow to-morrow with
another squad. -
Just "So. You can always tell, from
the advertising columns of a newspaper,
those who do the largest business and sell
the cheapest The man of enterprise,
who has goods to sell, and who i3 deter
mined to outstrip all competitors, always
wants the public to know what he has for
sale. Apropos of this, see Thompson's
advertisement, on this page, and then de
termine to patronize him to the extent of
at least a new dress for your wife, or a
new hoop skirt, or a new pair of shoes.
He sells cheaper thau the cheapest.
Dr.'Tobias' Venetian Liniment.
More testimony I . Tbis is to certify ' that
for the last five years I have ust-d in my fam
ily Dr. Tobias' celebrated Venitian Liniment,
and in every instance have found it fully equal
to his recommendations. I have found it to
give almost instantaneous relief in cases of
toothache, croup, bilious colic, sore throat,
pain in the chest and back, and rheumatism,
and I cheerfully recommended its trial to
every one afflicted with any of the above
named diseases. JAMES H. WARNER.
