Opt. R- Litzinger's company of volun

ppidly in Ebensburg, left here on Thurs
day for IloHidaysburg. At that point
iey were mustered into the U. S. service
- Pro. Mar. Lloyd, and presented each
fith a uniform," knapsack, canteen, and
various other little articles pertaining to
individual comfort and convenience.
Oa the following morning, they proceeded
Ilarrisburg, to be armed and fully
equipped, and likewise to be incorporated
io a regiment, Several new regiments

of which it is expected it will be attached.
The editor of this paper accompanied the
company hence through to Ilarrisburg,

The Draft. The following important
circular relative to the draft has been,
issued :
IJaerisbcko, Pa., August 30, 18G1.
Circular No. 2.
Keep un volunteering as much as possible
after the fifth (Cth) day of September, and let
it be known that volunteers will be counted
on the quotas of the present call up to the
last practicable moment before the drafted
men are accepted and seut to rendezvous.
By order of Capt. R. I. Dodge,
8th Infantry, U. K. A. Sup't.
It mu?t not be inferred from this that
the draft is or will be postponed. "We
have the assurance that the teverse will
be the case. But in most districts the
Provost Marshals are .not yet ready to
commence drafting, and it is to afford ev
ery facility to volunteering that the order
is issued. If enough volunteers come for
ward to fill the quota of the State, of
course the draft will be dispensed with :
if not, the "wheel of fate" will be set in
motion as soon as the different Provost
Marshals can get it in readiness, up to which
time volunteers will be accepted and the
Government bounty paid.

Ocii Quota. It gives us pleasure to
lay before our readers the information that
the quota of Ebensburg under the im
pending draft is filled. The men volun
teering to credit themselves to the boro'

members of Capt. Litzinger's company.
Their names are as follows :

Flory II. Barker,
John Gittings,
Christopher Adams,
Thos. Brookbank,

L O CAL CORRESPONDENCE.
COL. CAMPBELL AND ADJ'T. HOSE MILITAItT
. MATTERS MAN REPORTED HTUG, ASD ANOTH
ER SHOT VARIETY. .
Correspondence of The Allegbanian.
Johnstown, Septemher 5, 1864.
- Col. J. M. Campbell and Adj'r. W. II.
Rose, of the 54th P. V., returned home
last week, their term of pcrvice having
expired. These officers have been in ser
vice three years, and have seen much
arduous duty in keeping the Shenandoah
Valley clear of guerillas, and latterly in
the series of battles culminating in the !
late engagement near Winchester. Col.
Campbell was considered one of the ablest
officers in his department, and for the
past few months commanded a brigade.
Adj't. Rose was wounded in the thigh
during the battle of New Market, but . is
now fully recovered.
Capt. Lowman departed for Tittsburg
the rendezvous of bis regiment last
week, with over 150 men. . His company
rolls bear the names of some of the finest
looking men in this section. Capt. Rut
land's company, through some cau?e,
failed to be mustered into service, and the
greater part , have returned home. A
company is now being formed here, under
the auspices of Capt. Mackin. His rolls
number over 50 men.
There is a pretty well authenticated
report here that Geo. D. BerliD, of this
place, who was appointed by Gov. Curtin
military agent to recruit negroes for West
moreland county, was hung by guerrillas
in Tennessee a few weeks ago. Also, a
report that Jas. Eldridge, of Couch's
Independent Scouts, was shot at Danville,
in the attempt to arrest a deserter. . This
report lacks confirmation.
The horses attached, to the Foster
House hack ran off last week, and in their
mad career tore down the awning posts in
front of W. & R. Geis' store, the railing
before Suppes' store, and were finally
brought up by dividing at the Scott House
sign-post. Four small boys were in the
hack at the time, and for a wonder escaped
injury.
Two soldiers were robbed in saloons in
this place last week, of 8200 ana SiOO re
spectively. The money I believe was not
recovered.
Our quota here is now almost full, and
were all the men credited to us who have
lately enlisted here, we would be out of
several drafts. There is a frreat demand
here for labor to supply vacancies left by
volunteers.
