Hotel, Newport, on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 1861.
The following gentlemen appeared and took

Cumberland—Thomas A. McKinney,
Henry Rupp,
WM. M. Porter.
Perry—T. Rush Roddy,
" Kirk Haines,
" Chas. A. Barnet,
Juniata—John J. Patterson,
" Jas. M. Sellers,
" A. J. Patterson.
The Conference was organized by the ap

and T. Rush Roddy as Secretary.
The object of the Conference as stated by the
President, being the nomination of a candidate
for President Judge of this district. It was
on motion ordered, that the Conference now
proceed to nominate candidates for that office,
when the following letter from Wm. A. Speng
ler, Esq., withdrawing his name, was present
ed by Mr. Roddy:
NEW BLOOMFIELD, Perry Co., Pa.
Sept. 17, 1861.
To the President and Sfembers of the Judicial
Conference of the People? Party of the
Ninth JudiczalDistict of Penn'a :
GENTLEMEN :—ln view of having perfect
unanimity in the ranks of our political organi
zation, as well as allaying any asperity of per
sonal feeling which might arise in having sev
eral candidates before the Conference for the
office of President Judge of this district, I beg
leave to withdraw my name as a candidate,
and hope your proceedings will be as harmo
nious as I have reason to believe your selection
of a candidate will be wise and judicious. I
cannot, however, permit the present opportu
nity to pass without expressing my thanks to
the people of my own county for the very flat
tering endorsement of my integrity as a man
and a lawyer ; as well as acknowledging my
obligations to my friends throughout the dis
trict for the many acts of kindness manifested.
And now in conclusion, allow me to express
thq_hope, that in the coming
. political contest,
in view of the distracted condition of our com
mon country, the same bitterness of feeling
which has upon former occasions characterized
the conduct of both political parties, may be bur
ied and forgotten ; and we remember only that
our duty to our country and ourselves requires
no hatred, acrimony or malevolence, one with
the other at the North ; but on the contrary,
kindness and forbearance and thus show to the
world, that while we may differ, in sentiment
as to.men and measures, yet when the exist
ence of our government is threatened, our flag
insulted, and our honor assailed, there is no
division, but we march with a united will to
effect a common object.
I am gentlemen,
Yours, most Respectfully,
W. A. SPONSLER.
The lion. Frederick Waits was then nomi•
noted by acclamation, as the People's candi
date for President Judge of the oth Judicial
District, and the proceedings ordered to be
signed by the officers; and published in the
RepUblican papers of the district,
J. RIIBII RODDY,
J. M. SELLERS,
President
Secretary
Ber Hon. David Wilmot, who was repor
ted to have been seriously ill at his residence
in Towanda, writes as follows to E. Reed
Myer, Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia,
under date of August 30th: "1 am much bet.
ter than when I came home. lam improving
very greatly and hope soon to be well again."
This will be cheering news to his numefOlis
friends in Pennsylvania and the Union.
PIITLEn ON POLITION.—GeneraI Butler
haying been mentioned as a candidate r
Gove nor of Massachusetts' has .written
letter declining a party nomination. ,He
says he will give the present administration
his support in putting down the rebellion,
end suggests that Gov. Andrew should be re-_
elected by the people of Massachusetts be
cause of his efforts in behalf of the preserva-
tion of the Unioh.
A GOOD COTTON &Emu.Tion.--The Low
el (Mass.) News saysr"..The Merrimac man
ufacturing Company,' in this have now
on harid in their storehouses about 6,000 bales _
of cotton, uffiCient to iiin . theirentire machi,
eery for months. - Cotton is now" worth 23
Cents, and the advance over what the comps.
Ay paid for their supply is upwards of $130,-
000. , Cotton cloth. is advancinrin i price,
though not in proportion to cotton."
ORGANIZE t ORGANIZE
The Democratic party of this county,
having:through its recognized organs, refused
to unite with the Republicans in the forma
tion of a Union ticket, proceeded to nominate
a distinctive party Ccket, and are now
marhalling their forces as in days lang sync,
for an old convict. Our convention, meeting
a week after theirs, was left no cho'ce, but
to follow their example. They have made
the issue, and we must be prepared to meet
them. The ticket placed in nomination on
our side is m exceptionable, and ono which
•an and should be elected from top to
bottom. 1 o do this however, requires some
thing more than the mere knowledge that
it can be done. It requires steady, persistent
work. By this we mean the thorough can
vassing and organization of every borough
and township.in the county. The vote must
be brought out, and to do this, the arrange
ments must be made previous to election day.
Go to work then friends, immediately, and
keep at it until the polls are closed on the
Bth of October, and your efforts will be
crowned with entire, complete success.
HON. FREDERICK WATTS
Our readers will see, from the proceedings
of the Conference at Newport, that the Hon.
FREDERICK WATTS, of this place, was nomina
ted byacclamation, as the candidate for the of
fice of President Judge of this Judicial. Dis
trict. With such a candidate there should be
no doubt as to the issue. In all the essential
qualifications for a Judge, no lawyer in the
State occupies a more eminent position. De
voted to his profession, which for along series
of years he has followed with untiring assi
duity, courteous in his manner, and with an
integrity of purpose which aiarks all his trans
actions public and private, he will prove an
ornament to the bench, and a safe depository
of the rights and interests of the people.
OUR TICKET
We promised last week to give a somewhat
extended notice of each of the candidates on
our ticket. We will endeavor now to fulfill
that promise as far as our acquaintance with
the individual members of it will warrant.
MCKIM JNO. MCCURDY and J. C. DUNLAP
are our candidates for Associate Judges. The
first named resides at Shippensburg, and was
formerly editor of the News published at that
place. In 1859 he was elected a member of
the Legislature, in which capacity he repro
' sea ter' t tYteraity - so 'to tlie"'§atiefncafon
of his constituents that he was nominated by
acclamation for a second term, and was elected
by an increased majority. Ile is a man of in
fiexable integrity and honesty, and the people
of this county know how to appreciate such
qualities. Mr. Dunlap, the candidate from the
lower end, is a citizen of Mechanicsburg, an
intelligent farmer, upright and fearless in the
discharge of his duties, which, with an unbend
ing firmness, mark him as the '‘ right man for
right place•"
JAMES MARSUALL and Jassr. T. KENNEDY,
our candidates for Assembly, are men of whom
any party might be Proud. Mr. Marshall, of
Newville, was formerly a resident of Perry
county, where ho was extensively engaged in
the tanning business. By. strict honesty, and
the promptness which characterised all his
business transactions, he has won the respect
and esteem of all with whom be came in con
tact, and during the several years of his resi
dence in this county, he has so far secured the
confidence of the party, as to be selected from
a number of good men as the most reliable
candidate for Legislature. Jesse T. Kennedy
is one of the most popular men in Perry coun
ty. His very appearance denotes firmness of
character—an essential quality for honest le
gislation. His abilities and great industry,
will make him a useful and intelligent repre
sentative of the business interests of the Com
monwealth. Both these men are worthy of
the hearty sup' ort of every man in the dis
trict.
JOHN BOWMAN
has peculiar claims on the people of this coun
ty for their support for the office of County
Treasurer. The competency and fitness of Mr•
Bowman are admitted by every one, while his
crippled situation should induce every man to
lend a helping hand to one who, through an
unfortunate accident, is precluded from par
ticipating in the active pursuits of life, and is
compelled to ask his fellow-citizens to assist
him. Go to the polls then, and vote for Mr-.
Bowman, for in so doing, you do but obey the
promptings of humanity, in giving a poor crip
ple the means of earning an honorable liveli
hood.
RICIIARD ANDERSON
is the nominee for Sherif. Mr. Anderson is a
blacksmith, living in Monroe township, and
has found time while actively prosecuting his
business to enrich his mind with a vast deal
of valuable information, and by his sterling
qualities of head and heart, has endeared him
self to all who have made his acquaintance.—
He is possessed of every qualification to make
an efficient officer.
DANIEL G. MAY
for County Commissioner, commands the re
sped and esteem of the citizens of this county,
in as - great a degree as any other man in the
county. No Man is more worthy of the sup
port of the people. He will make a faithful
guardian of the interests of the county.
FRANKLIN GARDNER
is the candidate for the office of Director of the
Poor. As in the wisdom.of the ' convention,
Mr. Gardner was the only citizen pf Carlisle
placed on the ticket, we will show our friends
throughout the county, by the vote we give
him, "that even small favors are thankfully
received." Mr. Gardner has been Actively
engaged in business all his life, and will make
one of the most efficient Directors over in the
Board.
JACOB HEMISIING EU
is on the ticket as the candidate for Auditor:
We have not the pleasure of a personal ac
quaintance with this gentleman, and only re
port what his neighbors affirm, that he is
highly respectable gentleman and amply com
petent to fill Ihe. office.
Taken altogether, our ticket presents an ar
ray of intelligence, capacity and moral worth,
not often assembled, and not easily surpassed.
It is such a ticket-that a man can vote for with
t bold heart and clear conscience, feeling that
redoing so he violates no obligation of honor
Jr patriotism. The loyalty of those gentlemen
is unquestioned,. and thore is not a man among
- them who Would be willing to submit to a de
grading coinpromieo with traitors, as a means
of obtaining peace; and if our goverriiflent is
to be heartily sustained in - its present trial, it
is only by the selection of undoubted patriots
for pOsitiorits of trust, that it can be done.
A NOBLE SENTIMENT.—Bishop Simpson, re
oenoy_dellyered a sermon at Chicago, on the
optional crisis, in vvhich he expressed the fol
lowing noble sentiment:— •
"We will' take - our glorious flag—the flag
of our Country-Land nail it just below. Me enna
That is high onoughl. There let it wave as it
waved of old. Around it lot us gather: "First
chriera, then our Country's." -
VOLUNTEERS AND THE ELECTIVE
FRANCHISE.
It is probable that not one hundredth part
pf the volunteers are aware of the foot that
they are entitled to every privilege in regard
to electors; at their camps, that they iFould
'be if at home. For the benefit of those who
have left our county, and for the purpose of
' effectually silencing the calumny, which has
been so industriously circulated, to the effect
that a large majority of our volunteers be
longed to the democratic party; we publish
that portion of the act of July 8, 1889, which
relates to this subject. The mode of holding
the elections, appointing officers, making re
turns, km , are all clearly defined, and we shall
send copies of this number of the HERALD, to
every company of whose whereabouts we can
ascertain anything definite. The act referred
to, is on page .539, pamphlet, laws. After
specifying the qualifications of all voters, It
goes on to say:
Section 43.—Whonevor any of the citizens
of this Commonwealth qualified as hereinbe
fore provided, shall be in any actual military
service in any detachment of the militia or
corps of volunteers, under a requisition from
the President of the United States, or by the
authority of the Commonwealth, on the day
of the general election, as aforesaid, such cit
izens may exercise the right of suffrage at
such place as may be appointed by the com
manding officer of the troop or company to
which they shall respectively belong, as fully
as if they were present at the usual place of
election: Provided, That no member of any
such troop or cOmpany shall be permitted to
vote at the place so appointed, if, at the time
of such election he shall be within ten miles
of the place at which he would be entitled to
vote, if not in service as aforesaid - .
44.—The proceedings for conducting such
elections shall be, as far as practicable, in all
respects the same as are herein directed in
case of general elections, except that the cap
tain or commanding officer of each company
or troop shall act as judge, and that the first
lieutenant or officer second in command, shall
net as inspector at such election, so far as
shall relate to such company or troop; and
in case of the neglect or refusal of such offi
cers, or either of them to serve in such capa
city, the officer or officers next in command,
in such company or troop, shall act as judge
or inspector as the ease may be.
43.—The officer authorized to perform the
duties of Judge, shall administer the proper
act
oath or affirmation to the officer who shall t
as inspector, and as soon as such officer shall
have been sworn or affirmed, he shall admin
ister the proper oath or affirmation to the of
ficer whose duty it shall be to act as judge;
and such officer acting as judge shall appoint
two persons to act as clerks, and shall ad
minister to them the proper oath or affirma
tions.
4G.—The several officers authorized to con
duct such election, shall take the like oaths
or affirmations, shall have the like powers,
and they, as well as other persons who may
attend, vote or offer to vote, at such elections,
shall be subject to like penalties and restric
tions, as are declared and provided in this act,
in the case of elections by the citizens at their
usual place of election.
47.—Within three days after such election,
the judges thereof shall respectively transmit,
through the nearest post-office, a return there
of, together Vvith the tickets, ,tally-lists and
lists of voters, to the prothonotary of the
county in which such electors would have
voted, if not in military service. And the
said judges pall transmit another return of
such election to the commanding officer of the
t regiment or battalion, as the case may be,
l,who shall make a general return, under his
"kand and seal, of the votes of all the com-
Pdfiitfli"or troops under his command, and shall
transmit the same through the nearest post
office to the secretary of the Commonwealth.
48:—It shill be the duty of the-prothonota
ry of the county, to whom such returns shall
be made, to deliver to the return judges-of
the same county, a copy certified under his
hand and seal, of the return of votes-so trans
mitted to him by the judgef of the election in
the companies or troops aforesaid.
49.—The return judges of the proper county
or counties, in which the volunteers or militia
men aforesaid may have resided at the time
of being called into actual service, as afore
said, shall meet on the second Tuesday in
November next after the election. And when
two or more counties are connected in the
election, the meeting of the judges from each
county shall be postponed in such case until
the Friday following the said second Tuesday
in November.
50.—The return judges so met, shall in
clude in their enumeration the votes so re
turned, and thereupon shall proceed In all
respects in the like manner as is provided in
this /lei, in cases where all the votes shall
have been given at the usual place of election.
Blankets and Stockings.
Pennsylvania needs blankets and stockings
for Ler 30,000 brave soldiers, in arms to sup
port the Government.'
Every factory capable of making blankets,
even to a single loom, should at once be put
in operation. Liberal contracts will be given
to all such.
Blankets should be wool grey; 7 feet long
by 5 feet 6 inches wide, and weighing full
pounds, with the letters P. V. in black, 4 inches
long in the centre of each blanket.
Stockings will be needed the coming winter
—half-hose or socks, good size, one-fourth
pound each. Let every mother, wife and
sister knit one or more pair.
Let associations be formed in each county,
with a treasurer at the county seat, with whom
the stockings can be deposited and forwarded
to the military store at Harrisburg. The
United States contract price, twenty-five cents
per pair, will be paid to each county treas
urer, and thus a fund can be raised to supply
the wants of volunteer families, to which every
patriotic woman in the State can contribute
het' share
R. C. HALE,
Quartermaster General, I.'. AI
We were informed by a lady, a few days
ago, that some of the blankets left hero by
discharged soldiers of the 14th and 16th lte•
gimenta are in possession of persons in town,
who would no doubt gladly restore them to
the State, if they knew they were wanted.
Would it not be well to fix some place of do
posit for these blankets, so that they might be
forwarded to Harrisburg
Q' The Volunteer asks us the following
questions, which we answer in detail:—
"Was not a resolution offered in the Re
publican convention, or at least before the
committee, endorsing the "constitutional ad
visers," (the Cabinet) of the President? and
was not that resolution rejected."
No such resolution was offered in the con
vention, and we have no knowledge of its be
ing before the committee. A resolution to
that effect would have been passed without a
dissenting voice.
"Was not another resolution offered en
dorsing the Crittenden resolution as it passed
Congress, and was it not rejected?"
The Crittenden resolution was not mooted
LI the convention.
~ W as not tho resolution—hypocritical as it
is —on the subject of the repeal of the tonnage
tea, written after the convention had ad
journed?"
No' sir, it was not. It was offered and
passed with thdotfier resolutions, just as pub-
lished last week,.without the dotting of an i
or crossing of af. Although we had no re
porter "concealed in a..oorner," we ban say
this much "squarely and withdut dodging."
Now, in regard, to the resolutions offered in
the Democratic ceniention, we have made in--
quiry, and aro 'informed—that thfee different
and antagonistic sets of - resolutions were of
fered, and that, it ,was only.after considerable
travail that those finally considered were
adopted.—The Breckenridge element shoWing
their hands against these very resolutions.
The Volunteer's own admission is that, ataveral
sets were rep and laid on the table. How.'oould this be done, if but ono sot was of.
bored? That secreted reporter is getting him
self into a snarl. , •
HON. RitIMERICIr. WATTS
We have no doubt our readers will be pleased
to learn that this gentleman has received the
unanimous nomination of the Republicans of
this Judioinl D ig riat for President Judge.
This was 'a nomination eminently tit to be
made, and Juniata can take to herself the
_credit of first having piesented him. We be
lieve it is universally conceded that Judge
Watts is one of the most etninent jurists in
Rennsylvanin, and no man ever occupied the
bench in this county with more general tnitis
, faction than did he. His popularity at. home
is a sufficient guarantee of his success. In
1861, he bent Judge Graham 600 in Cumber
land county, and will do so again. At that
time Perry was so strongly democratic that it
overcame this majority. Now the Republicans
have a majority in Perry, and his election is
a fixed fact: — Let us help' to swell the majority.
—Perry Freeman,
JAMES MARSHALL
The Republican Convention of Cumberland
county having nominated James Marshall,
Esq., as their candidate for Assembly, we
gladly place his name on our ticket. Mr.
Marshall Was formerly a citizen of Perry
county. Ile carried on an extensive tannery
in the upper end of this county for a number
of years. lie is a man of energy, ability and
honesty. With Jesse Kennedy and James
Marshall as our candidates, we can confident
ly go before the people and ask their suffrages.
Honest and high-minded, they aro not and
never could be demagogues. Of undoubted
loyally and patriotism, they will give their
votes and influence in favor of crushing out
this unholy rebellion against our free govern
ment.---Perry aunty Advocate.
BOUNTIES, SOLDI,ERS , PAY, ETC
The acts of the late session in reference to
bounties, pay, &c., of soldiers, appears not to
he generally understood. A gentleman versed
in the laws furnishes the following fats:
1. By bets of the late Congress all boon•
ties for enlistment were abolished, as well as
the two•dullar fee for bringing recruits to the
rendezvous for enlistment.
2. For the first re enlistment in the regu
lar army, the soldier is to receive two dollars
per month in addition to his former pay, and
one dollar for every subsequent enlistment.
3. Soldiers who now enter the service,
either as regulars or volunteers, " for the war
and serve out their enlistment, shall,with their
discharge, receive one hundred dollars bounty
or that amount will he paid to the legal rep
resentatives of such as die or are killed in
the service.
4. Alter the Gth August, 1861, privates
who receive eleven dollars will receive thir
teen, those who formerly received twelve dol
lars will also receive thirteen—privates and
corporals receive the same pay—but no
other change is made in the pay of non com
missioned officers, or musicians, or artificers.
5. By the increase in the privates' pay, the
allowance of every officer who has a servant
is increased thereby—either twelve or twenty
four dollrrs per year for each Bel-VI - int he is
entitled to.
DOTE.-There is no authority for the offer
of $3O now made as an inducement to enlist.
The additional bounty for enlistment at:
distant iniints is also abolished. The fee for
administrating the oath is abolished; that
duty is hereafter to be performed by a com
missioned officer.
THE PROGRESS OF TOE WAR
Summary of News and Incidents
As yet all is quiet at Washing on, notwith
standing the sensation writers have been mak
ing daily annoupcoments of the imminence of
an attack upon the city. The army around
Washington, and along the Potomac, is repre
sented as very efficient and well prepared to
resist any attack that may be made; within
the past week large reinforcements have been
sent forward front liarrisburg and other
points.
About three P. M. on Sunday, a force of
500 rebels attached Col. Geary's force station

a fight of three hours, they were driven back
with a loss of .75 killed and wounded, our loss
was one killed and a few slightly wounded.—
The troops engaged were companies B, 1) and
I of the 2801 Pennsylvania regiment, and' two
companies of the 13th Massachusetts ; they
behaved admirably.
Another glorious victory was achieved by
the national troops under Gen. Itosecrans in
Western Virginia on Tuesday, the 10th inst.
The command of the rebel Floyd, consisting of
5,000 men, were ignominiously routed, leaving
behind them all their camp equipage, wagons,
horses, large quantities of ammunition, fifty
head of cattle—in fact everything to the per

Get,. Fremont has arrested Col. Frank Blair,
Jr., at St. Louis, for using disrespectful lan

cure his removal.
From Western Virginia we have news that

The Quantity of Bread Baked at and neat
JVashington
The supplying of the "staff of life" to the
army in and about Washington is a very
formidable matter. A correspondent in that
city writes to the New York Express:
The operation has engaged my attention.—
Beginning at the capitol, I found there
fourteen ovens, in the basement and vaults
attached thereto, baking, from the hands of
one hundred and fifty two men, fifty five
thousand lo yes. This is the number daily
turned out of those ovens. Two hundred
and forty bbls. of flour and twenty five
bushels of potatoes compose these loaves.
The flour used is ordinarily the finest and
the best. When there is an exception, it is
because of seized and confiscated flour being
put upon the takers, in
_respect to which,
neither prociirera nor they have any choice
to exercise. A remainder of 9,000 hbls of
such flour is now in course of being worked
up. The labor id being perforated by civilians
exclusively, the soldiers by whom government
baking was here begun having been called
to the field. The bread made is most
excellent. The whole establishment is
superintended by Lt. S. C. Green, of the
subsistence department, by whose genius'
industry and effort it has been brought into
its present state of order and efficiency.
In addition to what is thus done for the
supply of bleadi et the capitol, there is a
smaller bakery imoperation in the basement
of the Treasury building, which turns out
daily from three thousand to live thousand
loaves, while several prixate bakeries in the
city, woiked upon the government account,
_turn out (in all) some ten thousand loaves
a dy. There are also private bakeries and
one large public bakery worked for the
govenmeet, in Georgetown, by which are
baked about twelve thousand loaves a day:
am, in the ( amp of the Second Rhode Island
Regiment is a bakery which turns out
lbout two thousand loves a day. 'I his daily
aggregate of between eighty and nine , y
thousand love , : of bread is for that portion
or those portions of the army which are on
this side of the Patoinac. Nearly an equal
number of loaves are baked in private and
government ovens in Alexandria and opposite
Georgetown, and in regimental camps.
The army in and about Washington is
thus daily supplied with about one hundred
and fifty th ousand loaves of soft, sweet bread,
and all of beautiful quality, besides crackers

entire consumption of flour each day, in
bread and craelcers, is about nine hundred
barrels. To this extent is the army here

Frightful Catagtrophe at the Conthien-
IMEIBZEMII
On Saturday evening the 14th inst., the Con
tinental theatre late! he National circus, Chest
nut st , Philadelphia, was the scene of a ca
lamity, which mnst harrow the feelings o
every one who hears it. Thirteen young bal
let dancers are more or less severely burned,
of Mom. six are already dead, and several
others are almost beyond expectation of recov-
cry.
The stage was set at the time of the acci
dent—the last scene of the first act of the
" Tempest," which was the play for the even
ing. The second act opens with en effective
dance, by the corps de ballet, whose members
were at the time in the dressing rooms, attir
ing themselves in the gauze and tarletan
for the ballet apparel.
Upon a nail nearest to the right of the mir
ror Miss Ruth Gale had hung a tarletan dress
that she now desired to wear. She is short in
stature, and was obliged to reach far to take it
down. In doing this the airy drapery was ig
nited by the gas bracket. Such material burns
like saltpetre paper. It was consumed like
a cobweb, and, in a second, the garments upon
the person of the unfortunate girl were wrapp•
oil in fire. Shrieking with dismay and terror
she ran across the room to her sisters, and
they—poor girls—heedless of their own safety,
endeavored with their bare hands to stifle the
uprising flames. Maddened with fright she
tore herself from them, ran into the outer
dressing room, communicating the flame as
site Passed to tiler:l'oora panic stricken girls,
and to the garments that. plentifully littered
the bibles and chairs, and depended from pegs
around the walls Her sister Zella first run
to her, and was in turn wrapped in flames.—
A wild scene of terror now ensued. Miss Zeta
ran precipitately down the stairs to the singe,
when her shrieks, the sight of men and women
rushing in hot' haste, and the evident excite
ment behind the scenes were perceptible by
some of the audience. Miss Zella wits caught
up by the stage carpenter, Thomas Bayard, at
.the moment the curtain•dropped, and-wrench
ing up the sea cloth," he rolled her 'in it.
extinguishing the flames. In her mail flight
Miss Mitt ran directly against two sections of
French plate glass used Mr representing water
in the last scene of the play, breaking it in
many places and badly lacerating herself by
falling, upon it. Agony more exquisite than
she suffered can scarcely be imagined. Com
pared to it the tortures of the rack must be a
bed of roses, and we come thus early to the
relief of the render by saying that by this time
she has probably found release from her suf
ferings in the arms of death.
Miss Hannah Gale leaped from a second
story window into Sansom street. She was
frenzied by pain, and entirely unaware of the
pain she was encountering. - She descended
upon her back, and suffered inore from the
coneussien than from her burns.
The lives of live of the young ladies, in the
opinion of the physicians, were saved by Mr.
James Milliken, of the Plitenix Iron Company,
who chanced to be among the audience. Mr.
Milliken oecupied an orchestra seat. Divining
before any one else the cause•of the panic be
hind the scenes, he sprang upon the stage,
and, in a space of time incredibly brief, lie
had procured a quantity of raw cotton, lime
water and linseed oil, and had enveloped in
the soothing application the frightful injuries
seared into the flesh of the poor girls by the
remorseless element. Ile was thus minister
ing to the sixth girl when medical aid arrived,
and the application was then continued to
them all.
We sicken tie we conlitine the distressing
details Manager Wheatley wrouphis hands
in angMsh and nerved himself for his reluc
tant task of dismissing the audience. lie came
in front of the curtain, explained the character
of the accident, and begged the audience to
retire.
Tlfe picture upon Sansom street wo shall
never forget. Carrying the burned and die
figured bodies—but a few moments before, in
the enchantment lent. by the distance, appear

chance led in the way. Some went for medi

' lay the suffering girls. Ballet girls who had
almost thrown themselves from the building
into the street, oblivious that their satin shoes
affil saucer-shaped skirts were not street cos-,
fumes, mothers in search of their daughters,
and silly beaux, pretending an anxiety they
.did not feel, all making inquiries and push
ing their way- through the crowd of cabs and
idlers that blocked up the street—all this,
taken together with the sight of men bearing
the suffering dancers to places of retirement s

best understood when we say that in cutting
away the tightomud corsets from several of
theiM the crisped skin, like the shell of the
lobster, came with their garments. Oil and
limo water and raw cotton, as first applied by
Me. Milliken, were continued as a dressing,
and soon there was ample medical aid at the
various houses. Mr. Blair, Druggist, at Eighth
and Walnut, and Taylor, Ninth and Chestnut;"
offered everything they had for the relief of

AURORA BORFIALTS --There was a
fine display of the Aurora Borealis ,in the
Northern horizon on Sunday night.. The lights
were of a pale greenish hue, alternating occa
sionally with flashes of orange and rod, ex
tending almopt to the zenith, forming a beau
tiful scone. The aurora borealis is generally
conceded to be the harbinger of the near ap
proach of the old Norland King.
CHAPLAIN APPOINTED —lt affords us
much pleasure to announce the apPointment
of Rev Josnrn A. Ross, of the Methodist
church of this place, ns chaplain of Carlisle
Barracks. We have seen his commission,
wherein he is to ordered enter upon his
duties immediately. This gentleman, by his
fervid appeals in behalf of the Union an ,the
Constitution, in the pulpit and elsewlince.hresc
made himself troops of friends, who will hail
his appointment as a fitting tribute to his
worth.
IMPROVEMENTS.—The prevalent bard
times, in connection with the excitement at
tending the war, have put an effectual quietus
on building interest. In glancing around our
borough, we can see but two or three new
houses, and these, with one exception, are
small and unimportant. The exception re
ferred to, is the elegant residence just finished,
of Wim,txm BLAIR, Esq. This house is situat
ed at the north cml of Hanover street, which
portion of the town, by the way, has become,
within the last few years, the most desirable
portion of our borough, for private residences
The opening of Walnut street, the erection of
Mr. GUTSUAL'S fine hotel, and a number of
handsoine briok houses, have given it quite a
metropolitan aspect, Mr. BLAIR'S house is a
11101101 of architecture, and reflects great credit
on himself and the town.

We find our own sentiments in f rogard to this
gentleman, so well portrayed)h the annexed
article from the Telrgraph, that we cannot
do better than give it entire
During the crisis which has involved the
states of this Union in such momentous ex
citement and conflicts, there have been many
brought prominently before the people, in
various capacities, and who have monopo.
lised a large share of credit and honor for
services and labors that were often rendered
by others—and there have also been a num.
her of other inen,.intimately connected with
the organization and discipliniim; of troops
to Ce ell the army of the Republic, who re
ceive no credit, and are almost entirely un•
known to the people as the agents and ser
vants who were faithfully discharging their
most important business. Among this class
of men is CAPTAIN DAVID U. llss•rtsus, an
ollicer in the regular army, and a soldier
who has served bravely an d gallantly d: the
Indian war and bloody battles we were forced
to fight with the ill advised and meanly gov
erned Mexicans. From the commencement
of the conflicts of this rebellion CAPTAIN HAS
rises bas been s'ationed in this city as dis
horsing agent of the fund app. priated by Con
geese to defray the expoises of equipping
and organizing the troops voluntecting in
this state for the U. S. army, a duty at once
arduous, important and responsible, but
which CAPT. H ASTINUS has discharged with
that succe:s which could only have been
achieved by en experienced :oldier, and the
sat slaction which a gentleman can alone
give in business. Last week CA PT. HAS
TINGS was ordered to another duty of equal
importance. it being the supelifttendence of
theAnottnted recruiting service at .Carlisle
Barracks. The introduction of cavalry into
the army on a more extensive •scale than
vat ever before attempted in this country,
is to be one of the features of operation
again the rebels, and as its organization
involves great risks and impot tent results, it
was necessary to select one of the most ctli.
cient and experienced officers of the day
for the work. The War Department has
displayed its usual sagacity in ordering CAPT.
HASTINGS to this work, and we—anticipate
therefore for this arm of our national defen
ces, peculiar and glorious success.
Carr. lIARTISa9 will necessarily be absent
from this city the greater part ()this time, al
though we understand that the disbursing o
the fund for organizing rect.:tits will• still be
under his charge, and that he will be in this
city for business at least for a few days every
mouth.
HOOPS IN NEW PLACES.—The reign
of hoops, it has been confidently predicted
at any time within the last two years, would
soon be over; and yet these - vaticinations are
unfulfilled. Something was confidentially
expected when" gored skirts" were intro
duced. These gradual narrowings of the ma
terial introduced the waspish waists popular
among our grandmothers. From waspish
waists, waspish- extremities seemed to be a
`natural consequence; and thus, by degrees,
fashion was expected to return to the styles
of the year 1800, when slimness was carried
to an attenuated limit, and ladies' waists
were under their arms, from whence hung
the lanky garment in narrow folds.
•The abomination of hoops - every masculine
individual will acknowledge. They are a nui :

and sincere friend and one who has never
strayed frrom the strict path of duty and

lished in the Tapers of the borough, and a
