Potatoes noth ing but potatoes. If you drop in on any convention consisting of two persons or more, wherever assembled, these latter days, yea hear not the war nor the elec tion, but potatoes, discussed. Wars and elections may be all well enough in their flace, bat just now they are decidedly out of place.... Potatoes have usurped the front seat. They rule the roast monopolize pablio attention. People talk potato, eat potato, think potato, and talk, eat and think nothing else. Potatoes all the time. We haven't heard a preacher preach pota to as yec, but even that may come in eea gon. Approach a man on business, and tea to one he is too deeply immersed in the mystery of potato to look intelligibly vou ; or if h6 docs make an effort to V3 you a hearing, twenty to one he aaches oS insensibly to potato before he converses with you five minutes. The customary morning greeting used to be 'Good morning, Mr. Smith ; how's your health?" Now it is "Good morning, Mr. Smith; how's your potato!" Wa king or dreaming, working or whiling, potato is the prominent object before the ciiai of man. Loves and hates, and re tfaris and punishments, and things tem .pcrai and things spiritual, and even mat ters of dollars and cents, give way before and arc lost sight of in potato. It is all engrossing all-absorbing all-in all. A man's status is now measured by potato. If he can boast athousand bushels or so, the hat of the common herd is tipped to him ; if he owns five hundred, the corn man herd bow to him without tippiug their hat ; Is ha owns only one hundred, the common herd neither bow nor tip their hat; while if he counts his bushels by twenty-fives or fifties, he i3 a nobody, and the common herd avoid him as a leper. Potato is king, and its subtle ia 2aenca ramifies and impregnates' and dyea to a long-red or a nashannoc-white color the entire- eocial system. A mania, for tali p?f for long-tailed bulls, for steam saw mills, has each in turn possessed the pub lic soul : a potato mania is certaiuly cow thick about it. We are speaking with respect to Lb enshurg and vicinity. The potato crap is cot being housed, and, to use an expres sive phrase, it is a crop "as is a crop." The "oldest Inhabitant" say3 he never saw the like cf it, and a liberal reward is 'offered for the man who ever heard of a parallel to it. It is tremendous overshadowing mammoth. Mora, potatoes than you could shake a stick at. The weather ifeacrea lat summer said a certain pro tracted "dry spell" was going to spile the potatoes. If it did so spoil them, it was not a bad thing, for counting this a naif crop, and a half crop giving us more potatoes than there are sands in an ant til!, hat would we have done with a whole crop I All the cellars wouldn't contain and all the real estate in Cambria county would be insufficient to cover them. And then such potatoes ! The entire crop i3 unparallelled as to size, and specimen representatives weighing one, two and three pounds are thick as leaves in Val lambrosa. Ia short, the potatoes are lar ger and longer and pleutier and cheaper here now than thev.ever were before. Under the circumstances, it is not strange that the mania afSicting the people is a potato one. Is it ? Thanksgiving. The President, in accordance with, his usual custom, has appointed the last Thursday in November &s a day of National thanksgiving and prayer. Thangsgiving! there is a mag ic in the word. It conjures up before us visions of peace, plenty, punkin pies and prodigiously high old times. It also re minds U3 that the harvest is past and the summer is ended, and if we are not saved that we ought to be. Talking of the close rummer, have you made proviaon as yet for winter? If you have nut, go- to J. 31. Thompson's cheap store, Ebensburg, and a bo forthwith. Attend to this matter !& time, and then be in fit condition to folly enjoy Thanksgiving. Etchings. Col. John K. Shryock, an old citizen of Johnstown, but who has re cently become a resident of Wilmore, this county, has been appointed Postmaster of the latter place, trice Morris Keif, gone to the army..'. .A grand mass meeting of the Democracy of Cambria county is called for Johnstown on Saturday, 5th Novem ber. On that occasion Messrs. Potts, Pershing & Co., assisted by the entire strength of der barty, will introduce to the consideration of the audience an entirely new comedy entitled, "Democratic Victo ries, or How Figures May be Made to to Lie."... The Dem. & Sent, evidently dislikes exceedingly to hear of Sheridan's brilliant victories in the Shenandoh Val ley, whereby some of the chivalry have got hurt. Witness the following gem from last week's issue of that paper "Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley ia burning barna filled with grain, and de stroying all the private dwellings." The fact is, instead of burning barns and de stroying private dwellings, Sheridan ia burning M'Clellan in effigy, and destroy ing his every chance of election. And that's what's the matter !... The post office at Mineral Point, Cambria county, is dis continued. Mail matter intended for that place should now be sent to Conemangh, Cambria county The pxovost guard have made several arrests of deserters in this end of the county within the past week or two. A grand skedaddle of all of that ilk has been the result. Is Ir Ant Wonder? Last fall, at tho head of its table cf election returns for Cambria county, the Johnstown Dem ocrat, in flaming characters, made the following announcement : WIth the influence of a giant corporation ia the south of the county of the "shook" interest in the north and of Administration interference everywhere the Democracy hare done nobly." This fall, it congratulates itself thus: "With the iafiuen.ee of monster corpora tions in our midst, and of fire hundred Ad ministration soldiers distributed throughout the county the Democracy have done no bly." Is it any wonder, "irii" all this influ ence, that the Democracy could do nobly? On the contrary, would it not have been strange, passing strange, in the face of the influence, if they had done otherwise than nobly ? Under the circumstances, we are not surprised the Democracy carried the county last fall by eight hundred and this fall by a thousand majority ; tut we are surprised, and net only surprised but absolutely stupefied, thatthe Democrat had the moral courage to make public, and ia flaming characters, the interests and influences combining to bring about those results !

His illness was comparatively brief, and his death unlook ed for until within a few hours of its oc currence. His sudden demise has fallen like a midnight pall upon the hearts of his many relatives and friends. He died in the full hope of a blissful immortality above. c.

BRAVE SOLDIESt KILLED SAD CASTTAXTT EXTESSIOX OP THE E0LLI50 MILL, AC, AC. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. ' J ohnstown, October 23, IS64. We were very agreeably surprised last week to see Lieut. John 13. Hay, of the artillery company Which left here lately, return home. After his capture, on the 5th inst., he was taken to Richmond," and incarcerated in Libby prison, where he saw and conversed with a number of our soldiers. He represents their condition as deplorable in the extreme. Lieut. II. had the good fortune to be paroled short ly after his arrival in Richmond, and is now here awaiting his exchange. CapL John O'Neill, of the 55th P. V., is reported killed in one of the recent en gagements of Grant's army. His home -was in this place, and a large circle of friends will mourn the loss of a gallant officer and a promising young man. He first enlisted in the three months service. Returning home at the expiration of that term, it was but a short timo until he enlisted in the 55th for three years, whtre, by brave and chivalric bearing, he soon attained to the position of Captain. The writer of this knew him well, and can bear testimony to his many good qualities of head and heart. Peace to his ashe3 ! The remains of a man named Snyder, formerly a resident of this county, were brought to Conemaugh boro. on Friday lart, for interment. Ic is stated that while laboring in an iron work in Wheeling, West Va., he suddenly fell dead. - A post mortem examination cf the body was held, but the cause of his death was not ascer tained. Snyder was dratted in this coun ty, and had Sed to escape service. Our Rolling Mill is to be considerably increased as to size and capability, and the ground to that end was broken on last Monday. The extension will accommo date at least twenty additional puddling furnaces. Owing to it magnitude, it is not expected the work will be finished in less than a year. The Mill is already a miracle aa to size and capability what will it be with all this addition to it ! The soldiers stationed here for some week past took tfceir departures for Cbambersburg last week. While with us, their deportment was uniformly good, and they made many warm friends of our citizens. - v Married : At Granville, Ohio, on the 2Sth alt, by Rev. J. F. King, Mr. Rob ert R.
