Failing in this, it is votea -siow Ld "old-fogyish" on all hands.

"With these emi nent exemplars before her, and her people fceinr constituted pretty much like unto ether people, is it to be wondered at tnat Ebensburg finds it impossible to do with out hr little . excitement ? True, this ticitement i3 of rare occurrence, but this hd only adds a palatable zest to the en tertainment when it is spread before-us in .-ml existence. The latest instance of local excitement coming under our obser ndon transpired on Sunday last. Those fitting in the public places on the morn cg of that day were rudely awaked to a Rcse of impending danger, startled, or scared as the case may be, by the an :euncement by a self-constituted scout ustio from "the front," given in a trem ilous whisper, that "They are com- q!" On being eubjected to a rigid samination, it was soon ascertained that referred to the rebels, the advance prd of a large body of whom had been Kan but a few moments before reconnoi tring the southern section of town ! This was terrorizing, to be sure. But lose fitting in the public places uoared pal to the emergency.

By referenco to the table of election returns, it will be seen that a new election district, to wit, "Prospect Boro.," has been formed in this county. "We do not know, but suppose this eupho nious title is intended to give local habi tation and name to that romantic looking cliff situate immediately and a short dis tance north of the railroad depot at Johns town. Only one of the freemen of the district seems to have had the moral cour age to vote for the Amendments, whereas twenty-two voted against. From which we infer it is a most dismal Prospect boro. for the Union cause. One righteous man, however, may ultimately regenerate even a Sodom, so we entertain hopes that "the district in the course of time may be come a boro. whose every Prospect pleases, with nary a man in it vile !... Those of our readers who intend visiting Pittsburg should not fail to "put up" at the Man pion House. This hotel is located just at the Penna. Ml. depot, where you can step out of the door into the cars, or out of the cars into the door.

We recommend it to the patronage of our readers. ...The day of National humiliation and prayer was well observed here.

B. nughes, Wilmore, was attacked by a gang of rowdies, names and number un known, who completely riddled the win dows and window-shutters of the house through the. use of that inevitable resort of all cowards stones. The bed contain ing the Capt.'s children, which stood close to one of the windows, was literally covered with the particles of broken glass, while stones fell cn and thickly around it, injuring none of the occupants, how ever, we understand. After this wonder ful display of bravery, the besiegers re tired, standing not on the order of their going, but going fast as their legs could carry them for fear of revolvers. The only hypothesis upon which this unseem ly demonstration can be accounted for is that the Capt. is a thorough and unyield ing Union man, whereas some of his neighbors arc not. Oa Wednesday morning last, Joseph Hanner and William Skelly, both of Wil more, were arrested and taken to Provost Marshal headquarters, at Hollidaysburg, under the following circumstances : These men had been drafted several weeks ago, and had reported to the Board of Enroll ment sitting in this place. Upon exam ination, they were exempted on. account ot partial blindness of the right eye of each. It seems, however, that the blind ness was feigned that it was put on for the occasion, through the aid of certain drus and chemicals. So some of the citizens of Wilmore, themselves subject to draft and liable to be drawn to fill the deficiency occasioned by the fraudulent exemption of these two, laid the facts in the case before the Surgeon, and demand ed another examination. This, was ac corded, and the men arrested and convey ed to Hollidaysburg as before stated. The upshot of the matter is, that, upon re-examination, Messrs. Hanner and Skel ly were held to service, from which they only escaped by paying, respectively, the commutation fee of S300. Draft or No Draft 1 Is Ebensburg going to raise a bounty so as to secure enough volunteers to fill her quota, or does she intend to "stand the draft?" This, above all others, is the question just now. Without attempting to decide it, we would merely state that, draft or no draft, Thompson, at his store, P. O. build ing, Ebensburg, will continue to sell as before cheap for cash all manner of dress and dry goods, hats and caps, boots and shoes, groceries, &o., &c. Remember inn i act. Washington Township. A corre spondent offers the following apology for the vote of Washington township at the late special election : "When you see the returns of the election held here on the 2d inst., don't be surprised and come to the conclusion Cat seven-tenths of the people of our township are secession sym pathizers. Far from it. A few of our voters, no doubt, entertain a deep sympa thy for the rebels, but the majority are thoroughly loyal, and would have voted aright had they not been most shamefully duped and deceived by their feaders. As regards the first amendment, they were told it was intended to give the right of suffrage to negroes who might happen to be soldiers in the army ! Of course, re lying on their authority, the deception had the desired effect, and they voted against the measure, and also against the other amendments. "An attempt was made to resuscitate the old and somewhat celebrated style of conducting elections in Washington tp. At the usual hour of opening the polls, none of the election board happened to be present excepting one of the Inspectors, and he a Union man. So as to get the thing into their own hands, a motion was made by one ot the copperheads to elect an entire new board! But after a protest from the Union side, and a little private caucussing among themselves, this was declared inexpedient by the more prudent of the opposition, and the motion was withdrawn." LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. FACTS AND FAKCIE9 FROM THE SOUTH 01 TBS COCSTT. Johnstown, August 8, 1864. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. To describe the excitement and uneasi ness of our citizens during the beginning of last week, all on account of the rumored invasion, were beyond the power of my pen. Every place of business in town, from the great mill to the one-horse black smith shop, was closed, and the idleness of our inhabitants but added fuel to the fire of fears and vague surmises already agitating them. It appeared to require the whole of the day of humiliation and prayer, which was generally observed here by services in the various churches, to restore the public mind to its wonted equi librium. It is to be hoped that many months will elapse ere we. are again thus agitated, and if ever, may it bo with &3 little cause. The Board of Exemption sat here on Friday last, to afford opportunity (which was well taken advantage of) to persons claiming exemption from military service on the ground of physical disability, &c, to be heard and havo their cases disposed of. I heard quite a number remark that the examining Surgeon, whose honesty is yet unimpeachsd, understood his business most fully, and those who tried to "gull" him were invariably outgeneraled. A good many names were stricken off the rolls, which will materially reduce our quota hereafter. A highly interesting though rather im promptu knock-down occurred on Bailroad tit. the other evening. A tall, stout-built Irishman, for want of something better to turn his hand to, attacked a smaller man of the same nationality, and for his pains received an "ilegant" and well-deserved thrashing. A grand picnic, for the benefit of the new Catholic Church, is on the tapis for the last of the present month, and the young ladies of town (they know how) are making every exertion to insure it a suc cess. Can't you come down ? Col. John P. Linton, of the 54th P. V., arrived here on Wednesday. He is on short leave of absence, to recuperate from the effects of his wound lately received through the shoulder. I must not forget to mention that the nomination of A. A. Barker for Congress gives great and general satisfaction to the Union men here. Died: On the 30th ult.,at GalHtzin, this county, Elmer E., child of S. H. and E. Williamson, in his fourth year.
