SAD ACCIDENT—(IN Tuesday, the 20th ult.. a son of Wm. B. Cooper, of Slippe ryrock township, this county, while cross ing the tumbling shaft of a threshing ma chine. his leg was caught and drawn un dcV, and bef re he could be rescued, one leg was broken, and be was thought to be injured otherwise. Doctors Coulter and Pearson, of Centreville. were called in. and dressed his wounds. It is feared that amputation may be necessary, and even that may not save his life. LAND WARRANTS.— The following is from Thompson's Bank Xote llcportcr, and will bo of interest to purchasers and holders of land warrants: "At the last session of Congress land warrants were granted to the States for the support of agricultural colleges. These warrants (all in 160-acrc scrip), have been issued to the loyal States in proportion to representa tion in Congress, Pennsylvania getting OOO.'OOO acres, Vermont 150,000 acres. ko. Some of these warrants will be in market this winter. These warrants have this peculiarity—no more than one mill ion of acres can be entered in any one State. For prompt entry they are as good as any other warrants, but to lay them aside for use a year or two hence would be risky." SAD ACCIDENT. —On Thursday the 24th ult.. Washington Morrow, of Worth tp.. while engaged threshing with a machine at the residence of Henry M'Pcavitt. in Brady township, had one of his legs bad ly smashed by being caught in the ma chinery pf the horse power. His leg was so bruised and mangled that it was ini possil.lc to save it, and was amputated by . Dr. J. B. Livingston, i.f Centreville, and Pr. Wm. 1!. Cowden, of Portersville.— 'Mr. Morrow was a member of Capt. W. O. Brackenridge's company, in the 134 th Regiment, Pa. Volunteers—served his ) full time as an active and valiant soldier, | participating in the bard fought battles of Frekericksburg and Chancellorsville.— I Mr. Morrow is a poor man ; has a wife ami three children dependent on his daily ! labor for support. We bespeak for him and his. the kind attention, sympathy and help which are required under the trying circumstances in which this said accident j has placed them. DIRECTORSHIP. —George C. Roessing. Esq., has been appointed School Direc tor, by the board, in place of Rev. W. A. Fetter, who has moved to the country. — The appointment is a good one, and we j have no doubt the •• Squire" will discharge the duties of his new office with fidelity. School Directors occupy a very respon sible position, and when they perform the duties of their'office as required by law. they are entitled to the gratitude of the community ; to them is intrusted for the time being, to a very great, extent, th" comfort, health, and progress of the youth that attend our schools. They have a great deal more to do. than merely to em ploy teachers, fix their wages and see that they arc paid. Wetako the liberty of say ing: that the Directors of the Schools of our borough, will discharge their duties to the very best of their ability, and this, we feel satisfied, is all that will be asked or desired by the citizens of Butler. HE-KNLIKTKD. —Maj. M'Laughlin'sold Company, (Co. 11. 102 Reg.—old 13th.-) •now we believg, commanded by Captain li- I 'Von. haw re-enlisted. and will be home on thirty days furlough, in a few days.— It is needless for us to solicit for them a warm reception as their numerous friends will be eager to take them by the hand, and thank them for their patriotic servi ces. Cut alas ! all will not return. Jn all probability this company will make an effort, while at home, to recruit itself up to its old numbers—if so, it will offer a fine opportunity to those wish ing to enter the service. A braver regi ment than the l»>2d is not in the service. fey* Snow fell on Monday night last to the depth of about sis inches j OUR PAPER.—Previously to the issu ; ingof the CITIZEN, wo did not canvass the county for the purpose of obtaining subscribers for the same; notwithstanding this fact, our list of Patrops is fully up to J our most sanguine expectations. This list jis increasing daily; names are being sent in from all parts of the county; and we take this opportunity of returning our I thanks to those who have interested them- I selves in thus aiding in the circulation of the Citizen. We have assumed the re j sponsibility of sending a few numbers of I our paper to persons in different localities without consulting them upon the subject , —not knowing in some cases, whether I they are already supplied with a count;/ paper or not; taking it for granted, that if they are not supplied, they oufjht to he. j To all such, we would say. read our pa per carefully for a few weeks, and then, j if you think it worthy of your patronage, you can inform us through the Post Mas ter, or otherwise, and we will then put your name down as a subscriber. All that we ask, is a full, fair and im partial trial. Wo have always been of ! the opinion that every citizen and family should have at least one county paper; and our present situation has not in the ■ least degree changed our mind on this subject. Those who do not take a county paper, must necessarily be ignorant of many matters of local interest and impor tance, and are compelled to depend upon those who do, for whatever information they may get, and then they have the sat : isfaction of receiving it second handed, and necessarily very often remain in ig norance of what they might and ought to know. Xo man is excusable for ignor ance, when he can get a county paper for the poor pittance of 51.50 per year. A county paper, if properly managed, will always contain items of local news which vou will see nowhere else. In fact, there are inuny things of interest and impor tance to every one. to be found in the col umns of a properly conducted newspaper. The profe'sor. teacher, mechanic and far mer are, or should be, all equally interest ed in the support of a paper in their own county ; and the man who neglects or re fuses to furnish himself and family (if he be so fortunate as to have one), with a paper, docs himself injustice, and robs them of an invaluable source of knowl edge and information, for which he is ac countable. County papers ate of more use than most people generally imagine. They ve ry naturally aid in directing public atten tion to matters in which every citizen of the county is more or less interested.— They contribute in a variety of ways to the formation of public opinion, on sub jects of public interest. They furnish very convenient mediums for discussion of questions of local interest. They aid in j giving character and importance to the county in which they are published. They stimulate a taste for reading, and j disseminate, in the course of one year, a : vast amount of useful information, much of which would not reach a portion of the readers through any other channel. They are of essential use in a family in fostering a ta>te for reading among chil dren. Country papers enjoy an advan tage over papers published at a distance, because many of their items arc of a lo cal interest, which naturally attracts a childs attention. The advertising columns, also, arc particularly attractive to many persons. They are of essential service in pub lishing various items of local intelligence in which the citizens arc more or less in terested, but of which many would re main uninformed, were it not for these papers. In short, country papers add in a great variety of ways to the character, intelli gence, and prosperity of the county in which they are published; and therefore, have a strong claim for support upon all whom they directly or indirectly benefit. Don t fail then, to take a paper which is published in your own county; and if, at the end of one year, you have not been benefitted to the amount of your subscrip tion. it will be because you have not read your paper, but have been content to spend your leisure moments in idleness, instead of storing your mind with useful knowl edge, Reinbering that. M A mind quito vacant, la a mind ilintrofwoct." FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Christmas day, Thomas L. Patterson, son of Mrs. Eliza J. Patterson, of Penn township, aged 27 years, having spent the forenoon in hunt ing, came home, and after dinner, which was about 2 o'clock, p. in., he, in compa ny with his younger brother, Samuel, went out to sport on a sheet o. .*o near the dwelling, and while thus engaged, Thos. L. slipped and fell, striking the back of his head on the ice. He rose up, walked into the house and sat down. Mrs. Pat- ' terson inquired what was the matter?" He appeared desirous to conceal the fact that he was hurt; he went out and vomit ed, and after returning, he said that "he had never endured such a pain as he then felt in his head." It was evident that he 1 was badly injured. His mother then un dertook to assist him up stairs into the set- j ting room, which was done with great difficulty, as he had becomeso weak as to be almost helpless." His mother insisted on sending for the Doctor, but he said : '• that it was no use," and would not con sent. I>r. Stewart was finally sent for, j but before he arrived, the injured person ' - had expired, which took place about 9 o'- i clock in the evening. Dr. Stewart arriv ; ed about 10 o'clock, and made an cxamina r tion. of the deceased, and pronounced ) " death from concussion of the brain."— : "In the midst of life, we are in death." Mr. Patterson was a youug man much . respected and beloved by all who knew . him. He served nine months in the army as a private of Co. C, 134 th Regt., Pa. Vol., • with fidelity. The deceased was a mem bur of the Presbyterian Church—moral rand upright in his intercourse an-' deal , ings with the world. May we all profit by this seemingly premature death of our . ■ friend ; remembering, that we too, may , | soon bo called to an account of our proba . tion. and stewardship. "Be ye also rea • i dy " i. m i» • ; RECRUITING. —By an order from the • war department, yesterday was the last • day for recruiting under the large,bounty • regulation. There seemed to be a more 1 healthy tone in the public mind in refer ence to this matter latterly, than had been ■ at first exhibited. And it is believed, that 1 j had the opportunity been extended a few ! weeks longer, the allotment of this county '< ! would have been raised. There willbean ' effort made to induce Congress to extend • the time; if so, all those who prefer going ' iuto the service under the provisions of ' this law. rather than abide the risk of the - I draft, should do so at once. >. In that way they will have the safisfac i tion of volunteering; and at the same time . secure a nice bounty. • 1 The war cannot last long. A great ma . ; jority of those in the service now, are re , enlisting; this is, in itself, an encourag . ! ing sign and one that will havA an effect • | on the rebellion. For the Cltl*en. I MESSRS. EDITORS:—The managers of i the Kveiling Party, held at the Lowry j I louse, on New Year's Evo, desire, through ! your paper, to thank the citizens of the : borough, for their generous patronage.— Notwithstanding some over fastidious per sons endeavored to throw discredit uyon | our party, it proved to bo a perfect fuc- 1 cess. About one hundred persons were j present for supper, which was gotten up in ! a plain substantial Style. Everything | i passed _off in a quiet and pleasant man ner, and every person left well satisfied | that their money had purchased so much { pleasure for themselves, and comfort for i | the soldiers families. The young folks | enjoyed themselves for a few hours after j supper, in a social dance, which was con- j ; eluded at a proper hour. ' j The proceeds of the party amounted to j sixty-two dollars, which has been placed , in the hands of Maj. C. E. Anderson, and L. Z. Mitchell, Esq., a committee ap- | pointed to distribute the funds as they are | needed. They will receive subscriptions i from all persons wishing to contribute,to this fund, and receipt for the same. Yours, MANAGERS. Army Correspondence. CAMP NEAR BEAI.TON STATION, j December 22, 1833. i Messrs. Editors: —Having received a capy of the AMERICAN CITIZEN, and be- I I ing highly pleascd"with the "title and ap- l pearance generally, and beiug desirous of | assisting a little in the good enterprise ■ you have entered into; I therefore send | i you five names, that wTsli to receive it j j weekly.

W. * *. Tennessee. The Doily Press is the "Conservative" organ at Nashville, and has long been find ing fault with military government, and ! calling for 'reconstruction.' Here is its | response to THE PROCLAMATION OF AMNESTY. From all we can ascertain of the gencr ! al popular sentiment, the people of Ten nessee arc becoming daily more reconciled ; to its terms, and more convinced of the liberal and conservative spirit by which it i was dictated. It is much to be regretted ( that, even in those parts of the State sub- j ject to no rebel interference, owing to the j want of mail facilities, or other means of | speedy transmission, a large portion of the j population will, for a long time, only hear of it through the ignorant interpretation of . some, and the intended misrepresentation | of others; and thus an unfair prejudice ! against the measure be created. 1 To remedy this mischief, so far as we I can, we have concluded to keep the proc lamation standing in our columns at least j far siJnie days, in order that as many citi zens as possible may have an opportunity to read the document it°clf, withoutbeingre duced to the necessity of receiving the first impressions of its character through the perverting comments of ignorance or big i ot 7C We feel confident tha't, by discussion and reflection, the President's plan is rap idly making converts in its favor, and that moderate and prudent men, comprising, we would hops, a large majority of Tennes see voters, will soon be brought to view it as an expedient well adapted to relieve . them from their present anomalous and | I most distressful condition.

The whole amount of tho Loan authorized Is Five Hun dred Millions <>f Dollars. Nearly Four Hundred Millions have been already subscribed for and paid into tho Treas ury, mostly within tho last seven months. Tho largo de -1 inand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home do infln ! for use as the basis for circulation by National Rank ing Association J now organizing In all parts of the coun try, will, in a very short period, absorb the balance.— Sales have lately ranged from ten to millions week ly. frequently exceeding three millions dally, and as It Is J well known that the S>-fetary if the Treasury has ample i and unfailing resources in the Duties on Imports and in ! teriril Revenue, and in the Issue of the Interest-bearing ! Lenal Tender Treasury Notes, it Is almost a certainty that | he will ii- t find it necessary, for a to couie, to seek a market 112 .r any other long or permanent loans, the Interest and Principal of which are payable in Gold. Prudence and self-interest must f»roe the minds of those contemplating the formation of National Ranking Asso ciations. in w -11 as the minds of all who have idl/i money on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they aliould lose no time in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a hand soine premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty" Loan, when it wn9 all sold and could no longer be subscri ! bed for at par. It is a Six por Cent. Loan, tho Interest and Principle payable in Coin, thus yielding over Nine per Cent, per an num at the present rats of premium on coin. The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid in Coin. These duties have; for n long time past, j amounted to over a Quarter of a MiUi >n of Dollars daily, ! a sum neaily three times greater than that required in the i payment of the interest on all the 5-2 us and other per il.'■iiiont lorn. -So it Is hoped that the Surplus Colu In the Treasury, at no distant day, willenablo tin* United States to resume specie payments upon nil liabilities. The loans Is called 5-20 from the fact that, whilst tho Bonds may run fir 90 years, yet the Government has a right to pay them off in Gold, at par, at any time alter 5 The Interest is paid half-yearly, viz: on the firwt days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are payable to bearer, and are SSO, SIOO, SSOO. ond *IOOO :or Registered Bonds of same denominations, and in addition, $5,000 and sli>,ouO. For Banking purposes and for Investments of Trust-monies tho IU-gistered Ilonds are preferable. These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns, or counties, and the Government tax on them is only one half per cent, on the amount of income, when the income of holder exceeds Six Hundred Dollars per annum. All other investments, such as Income from Mortgages, ; Railroad Stock, and liouds, etc., must pay from threo to i five percent, tax on tho income. Banks and Bankers throughout tho Country will con tinue to dispose of tho bonds; and all orders by mail, or otherwise, will bo promptly attended to. The Inconvenience of a few days'delay in the delivery of tho Bonds is unavoidable, Ihe demand being HO great; but as interest commence) from tho day of subscription, no less is occasioned, every effort is being made to di minish the delay. jay roour. 81 ASCRIPTION AGENT, 114 South THIRD Street, Philadelphia.
