Gantry, but has lately been promoted ear the shoulder straps in a colored The Murder of Robert Carmon. From the St. Louis Republican of 26th nit., kindly furnished us by a friend, we gather the following particulars concer ning the murder of Mr. Robert Carmon, formerly of this place, but latterly a resi dent of Key tsyille, Chariton county, Mo., by. bushwhackers : "On last Monday night, 19th inst., Lieut. Plyer, a veteran German soldier, was in com mand of the post, (Keytsville,) with about thirty-fire5 men in camp. That night word came to the Lieutenant that bushwhackers in force were on all sides. He immediately sent out a sljuad of soldiers to collect in all the citizens who could be found, to defend the post. By eleven o'clock at night, the citizens were in the Court-house with the sol diers, ready and willing to defend it to the last. "About three o'clock, Tuesday morning, the Lieutenant laid down to get a little sleep, and slept until after the pickets came in. As soon as the pickets were in, the citizens then in camp, Denevmg mere was no immediate danger, without orders from the commander. left the post, and went into town to get their breakfast. Some of the soldiers also left for the same purpose. Soon after this, and be fore the order of surrender came, Mr. Robert Carmon, the Sheriff of the county, came into camp. About five minutes afterwards a white flag was seen approaching, with a demand to surrender. "As soon as the demand was made, Lieut. riyer went to Mr. Carmon, and asked his' ad vice relative to an answer to be returned to the bushwhackers. Mr. Carmon asked Plyer bow many men the bushwhackers claimed to have ; the reply was, They claim to have two hundred and fifty.' Mr. Carmon further asked of Plyer the terms and conditions offer ed in the event of a surrender. The Lieuten ant replied, 'If we surrender, life and prop erty will be respected; otherwise the black flag will be raised no lives will be Bpared, and the town burnt. These are the condi tions sent to me, and a reply must be made in fifteen minutes, or we must fight.' Mr. Car mon then said, 'Wc cannot fight two hundred and fifty bushwhackers with the small force in camp, and if the conditions of surrender are as you state, you ought to surrender.' "W ithout further consultation, Lieut. Plyer sent an answer to the commander of the white flag that he would surrender upon the condi tions offered. It is a painui. fact that these conditions were broken by the bushwhackef a; and that Mr. Carmon was taken out of town and shot by those who promised 'protection to life and property.' Mr. William Young was also shot in the same way. "Mr. Carmon had made an excellent Sher iff, and had many warm friends who mourn hi3 loss. We do not know why these two citizens weie shot, nor do vie know that any reasons were given for doing so. The murder of these two sen has cast a gloom over the whole county." FR OM JOIINSTO WN. SEVERAL FATAL ACCIDENTS A SANQCINART DIS CCSS10H THE MARCH OT IMPROVEMENT. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Johnstown, October 9, 1864. A sad accident occurred here yesterday, by which an employee of the Cambria Iron Company, named Kleiber, loet his life, lie was hauling a bale of hay on a wagon, when his horses became fractious, and he was jerked beneath their feet. Before tbe bystanders could reach him, he had been killed by a kick from one of the animals. Ilia remains were followed to their final resting-place to-day by a large number of his late fellow employees. A boy earned Opple, of Perkinsville, aged about eight years, was drowned in the lock at that place on Monday last. On Tuesday, a young man named Rees fell from a mule he was riding, in Pros pect borough, and had his brains dashed out. He was instantly killed. On Thursday, a boy named Knablespire was run over by a train of coal cars in Cambria Dorouern, ana killed, lie was aged about twelve years. Two soldiers belonging to the squad encamped on the Fair grounds here got into a difficulty one day last week con ceruin? political matters, when one of them drew a knife and cut the other pret ty severely. In compliance with military rules, the blood-letter was tied to a tree, in a perpendicular position, to give him tinio to meditate undisturbed upou the error of his ways, and to become convinced that, although he may carry a "cheese-knife," it docs not necessarily follow that he is justified in slicing at pleasure a fellow man therewith. The brick work of the new woolen fac tory, at Town's-end, is being rapidly push ed forward. A graded and paved street runs through the entire (in prospective) town. I doubt not ere long this will be one of the prettiest villages in Western Pennsylvania. The new Presbyterian church will soon be completed, and will be one among the many great improvements that have taken and are taking place here. The projected new Lutheran church re mains in statu quo, it having progressed no further toward completion than the foundation. I believe a scarcity of brick layers is the cause of the delay iu pushing the work. Lieut. T. L. Ileyer, of the ''hundred days service," has been circulating around town for several days. The regiment to which he is attached (the 191th P. V.) is doing duty by conveying substitutes and drafted men from Baltimore to tke front. Tho .Lieut, iooks to De in a gooa state of preservation, and professes to like the service muchly. FROM OUR SOLDIERS. LETTER FROM CO. C, Z09TH F; V. XO- MAIL- PROVISIONAL BRIGADE ItlGII TO A BATTLE -PRESENT POSITIOK CAStTAtTiESj C, tC. Correspondence of The Alleghaniact, Bermuda Hundred, Sept. 20. The lover sighs, the father thinks of his wife and children, and the boy dreams of home and the fireside, as each waits in patience for the arrival of a mail from his native hills. For since we turned our backs upon Pennsylvania, ou the evening of tho 16th inst., until the present time, we have had no word from home. Yet, doubtless, it will not be long ere the look- ed-for and longed-for mail arrives. I am still unable to give you either the brigade or division to which we are as signed, though, for the present at least, we form a portion of the 18th corps. The brigade consists of the 209th, 211th, 206th, 207th and 208th, and in the orders read is termed the provisional brigade. On Wednesday forenoon we received orders to march, and soon after proceeded to our present position, in Butler's front. The night we came, the principal portion of the troops stationed here moved to the north side of the James river, to take part in a movement then contemplated; Yes terday morning, early, the rising of smoke told that the action had begun, though a contrary wind carried the sound of the cannonading in an opposite direction.- All reports represent the action as severe, but, to us, cheeringly successful. That you may have some idea of our position, I will say that we are somswhat to the right of the centre of the line ex tending from the Appomattox to the James, and a mile or more from the canal at Dutch Gap. Yesterday, about one p. m., one man was killed outright and another mortally wounded in Co. F, 211th, and a third se verely wounded in the hio in the 139th N. Y., in the following manner : Pursu ant to orders received from Col. Potter, of the 12th N. H., commanding the brigade, it was stationed, principally without arms, on the parapet of oUf works, and in full view of those of the rebels. This maneu ver soon elicited a shell from a rebel gun, wnicn strucx a m asset ana Drokc it, a piece hitting the man above mentioned, killing him instantly. The man mortally wounded died during the night. The weather here is quite warm equal ly as warm as in July last in Ebensburg, excepting a few of the hottest days: Most of the company are in good health Yours, " Gamma. We learn that Provost Marshal Burke, of this county, had his arm broken and was oth erwise severely lDiured by a man in the north ern end of the county whom he was attempt ing to arrest. Johnstown Democrat. The foregoing is false in every particu lar. Pro. Mar. Burke has not had his arm broken, neither has he been ''other wise severely injured" by a man whom he was attempting to arrest, in tbe north of the county or elsewhere. The story is sheer invention throughout. The Demo crat must have been shamefully sold by some practical joker, or else it wants to play, for a purpose, upon the credulity of its readers. In Town. We are pleased to see our friend, Major James A. Skelly, in town, on a visit. He is enjoying good health, and looks every inch tho soldier. The Major went hence as a Lieutenant in Co. G, 11th cavalry; he was afterward pro moted to Captain, and subsequently, about a month since, to the position ho now hold. He is worthy of any and all hon ors that may be conferred upon him.
