Pershing, repre sentative to the State Legislature from Cambria county, we have received a copy of the report of the Superintendent of Common Schools of Penb.ivania for the vear ending June 1, 18G4. From it we learn that the whole number of schools in the State, not including the city and coun ty of Philadelphia, is 12,5GG, an increase on the preceding year of 405. The whole attendance of pupils is 037,785, an in crease of 3,286- Average attendance, 390.522. an increase of 1,800. Per cen- turn average, .G2G ; the preceding year, .035. Average length of school term, 5 months 17 days. Average cost of each pupil per month, 58 cents, an increase of 8 cents. Whole number male teachers in IStH, G,903; in 18G3, 7,270. Whole number female teachers, 7,7G5 ; iu 1SG3, 7,172. Average salary male teachers per month, $25.42; female teachers, S20.1G. Total cost of tuition, 1,692,GG4, an in crease of 191,G24. Total cost of system, being whole amount of tax levied and State appropriation, including $53,335 to Philadelphia schools, $2,381,173 ; an in crease of v 97,073. The total number of schools, including Philadelphia, is 12,932; and pupils, 709,930. Tho total cost of the system, including taxes levied, amount paid by Philadelphia, and State appropri ation, was, 33,218,355. By examination of the foregoing statistics, it will he seen that the State has nobly sustained her beneficent educational system, even amidst the horrors and uncertainties of a desola ting civil war. " We also gather from the report the following statistics with regard to the con dition of the system in Cambria county : Whole number schools for 1SG4 1C2 Number yet required 16 Average number month3 taught.... 4.78 Number male teachers....

At 8 o'cloek on "Wednesday morning last, engiu? No. 18 on the Pennsylvania Railroad exploded while standing on the track near the out er depot, Pittsburg. There were four men on the "house" when tho explosion occurred, namely John Good, conductor; Patrick Doran, engineer; John Plender, fireman, and William ltibblett, brakesman. The "dome" of the engine was blown en tirely off, carrying away the "house" with it. The men were all blown off the en gine, or carried away with the "house," aai two of them, Good and Ribblett, were dangerously injured. Doran and Plender were not seriously hurt. The cause of tho explosion is a matter cf mere conjecture. Engineers who ex amined the wrecked boiler give it as their opinion that the iron used was of an infe rior quality, and that the boiler, or "dome," rather, was not properly braced. All aSree that there was a plentiful supply of water in the boiler at the time of the explosion. Good and Ribblet reside at Conemaugh, this county, Doran at Wilmore, and Plen der until a short time since resided in the vicinity of Ebensburg. They were all properly cared for, aud aie doing woll as could be expected. S. : Since writing the foregoing we len that ltibblett has died from the ef fects of his injuries. . itijiujl i Ati x VB.AFT. ne third I finnn1aman(oin A-mnit- .1. 1 r . --rf.v-.,uiij, uian wr mis UlSiriCC lOOK placo at Provost Marshal headquarters, Hollidaysburg, on the 26th ult.

T1 1 -W . mm -m says : "lao .bbensburgers, notwithstand ing their residence within one of the greatest coal regions of the State, have to pay twenty cents per bushel for coalj and bad measure at that." And that's not the worst of it. Not withstanding the fact, which is a fact, that this is "one of the greatest ccal re gions of the State,' our people are actually obliged to send abroad for the major por tion of all the coal they burn ! This is simply by reason that energy and enter prise have not yet been discovered here in quantities sufficient to prompt the ta- ing hold of and developing our own in ternal resources. If the "twenty cents per bushel" were paid our own people, and the money so kept "at home," (which would be domes- ic economy,) we might be able to stand the pressure. As it is, wo are doing a osing business, first, ia countenancing the carrying of other coals to this Newcastle, and, second, in pajing an exorbitant tax or the enjoyment of that super necessary uxury. Coal could and should be sold here at ten cents a bushel. This will be the case when capitalists from other parts, attrac ted by its unequalled richness, buy up and develop our coal-bearing territory. Not sooner, we fear. Suakp Transaction. The ITollidays- burg Register gives the following illustra tion of some of the beauties of the bounty brokerage system : "A man enrolled in Woodberry township, Blair county, au thorized a substitute broker here to put in a substitute for him, limiting the price to the sum of Sl,200. The broker employed another in Allegheny township to put in the substitute, limiting him to 1,000. The last put in a poor, ignorant fellow, and gave him 0300. So that, out of the 01,200 paid by the principal, the substi tute got $300, the first broker 0200, and tho second 0700 I" The Immortal J. N. This eccentric individual, who has frequently visited this town and addressed our people on the War-Peace question, has become a "mart jr." Wo notice by our Western exchauges that J. N. recently made ap plication to the Sheriff of Franklin coun ty, Ohio, for admission to one of tho darkest dungeons in his prison, and at his own request was chained and placed therein. lie has adopted this course, he says, to assume the "pressure" upon him self, and so save his friends from being answerable for any bad consequences which may or might result from tho course he is pursuing. A young man named Alfred Hill, a brakeman, was accidentally knocked off the cars at Conemaugh, on Monday of last week, and run over by a locomotive. His left leg was thereby 60 badly mutilated that amputation became necessary. Etchings. Capt. Samuel D. Pryce, jr., of an Iowa company and regiment, was in town for a day last week. He has changed considerably in appearance, has "Sam," since we knew him for a boy few in years and of size about knee-high to a grasshopper. Time works wonders, and that was four years ago. "Sam" is now a full-grown, stalwart man, abundantly able to hoe. his own row through life. He looks every inch the soldier, and is held in high repute by his comrades in arms. His regiment was originally assigned to duty in the Southwest, afterwards served with Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley, and is now with Sherman down at Savan nah.... Capt. R. Litzinger, Co. C, 209th P. V., arrived home on Saturday, on a short leave of absence. He is looking well himself, and reports the rest of "the boys" in tho same enviable hygienic con dition.... Capt. J. C. Burke, Asst. Provost Marshal for Cambria county, intends ta king up his residence in Ebensburg the beginning of the present month, when the various squads of soldiers scattered thro'- out the county will be rendezvoused here, making this their base of operations.... The quota of this (the 17th) district un der the late call as per the revised enroll ment is 1,604, a reduction of some 700 on the quota as first announced. Of this number, Cambria will probably have 425 men to furnish.... The something-or-other oil'company, with Mr. P. Collins as its managing head, has broke ground in search of petroleum in Allegheny township, this county, a distance of about three miles from Loretto. On, tfie Snow ! During the week just past, we experienced a continuation of stormy weather unequalled in the mem ory of tho oldest inhabitant. Snow fell in extravagant quantities, and without let up, from Monday morning till the follow ing Sunday, and during all this time the winds blew a veritable hurricane. The result was, all the highways, byways, streets and pavements in this section were drifted up blockaded rendered impas sable snow bound. The train on the E. & C. Hit. made a single trip, on Monday, and then stuck. As we write, it has not succeeded in digging it way back here. The mails and passengers to and from Cresson were and are yet carried "on run ners." The Northern mails came in and went out once during the week. It is un necessary to say that this plethora of snow effectually put a veto on out-door business and pleasure of every description. We never saw the like of it of this week of stcyrms and outrageous squalls. It beat Banagher ton to one, and Banagher, you know, beats the devil. We may add we don't particularly desire to see the like of it for some time to come. With the really fine weather inaugura ted with the present week, we mav rea sonably expect a speedy resumption of communication, by rail and otherwise, with the world at large. So moto it bo ! FROJI OUR SOLDIERS. LETTER FROM CO. C, 200m P. V. ALL -QUIET EAIX, VAPOR, AND MUD REVIEWS DEATH IN REGIMBXT nEALTH OF COMPANY. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Meade's Station, Va., Jan. 23. Dull and dreary is everything around. Saturday, rain began to fall, and contin ued so to do throughout the entire day, until all things exposed to the weather were as thoroughly saturated as their na ture would allow them to be. Yesterday, all day a heavy vapor rested on the ground, and to-day, the clouds are again in tears. Virginia mud is abundant, and answers the purpose of the best of bootjacks. About the only thing that relieves the monotony of camp life is an occasional review. These seem to be more plenty in our own and the 2d corps than in others. This day week, our brigade was reviewed by Col. Matthews, of the 2d brigade, and Brig.-Gen. Hartranft, commanding divis ion. On Thursday, tho 2d brigade was reviewed by Col. Diven, of the 1st. Both brigades presented a very creditable ap pearance. A division review was to take place yesterday, but the weather spoiled the arrangement. Day before yesterday, the number of deaths in the regiment was increased by the demise of a member of Co. B. This makes the total of deaths seven. Perhaps no other regiment in the division can show so light a mortality as this. Many have been patiently awaiting for the transpiring of that great feat by which Lee was to astonish the world, but so far they have waited in vain. A portion of our army lay in the works for a night or more, lately, in anticipation of the prom ised event. The health of the company is excellent. Those who were seriously ill at my last writing are rapidly recovering.
