EBENSBURG, TA.
Thursday, F"elruary lO, 1853.
The Senatorial Conferees from Cambria coun
ty, are hereby notified to meet at the Exchange
Hotel, In Hollidaysburg, on Saturday, 12th Feb
ruary. The Blair and Huntingdon Conferees
will be present.
Gen. Robert Patterson.
We notice with feelings of pleasure, that the
name of the above distinguished Pennsylvanian
is mentioned in connection -with a Cabinet ap
pointment in the administration of President
Fierce Ikat of Secretary of war. Gen. Patter
son needs no praise from us; his pure character
and unstained reputation as a man, his self-sacrificing
devotion as a soldier, his eminent posi
tion as a democrat as a leading member of the
party of right and of the country are known to
all, and equally cherished and admired. His
most excellent business qualifications, his admi
rable address, pleasing and instructive conversa
tional qualities, are additional testimonials in
his behalf. The selection of such a gentleman
for so important a station, would be a guarantee
that the duties incumbent upon him would be
discharged in an able, masterly and highly satis
factory manner, and would merit and receive
the approbation of the people. 1 1 this section
there are many of the brave men, who served
with distinction in Gen. Patterson's division of
the army in the Mexican war, who woud be
greatly pleased should their former "brother in
arms" be chosen to preside over the War De
partment. Under his control the wants of the
serv ice would be properly and judiciously atten
ded to, with a proper care for the maintenance
of order and discipline in the department, and
the execution of every trust with remarkable fi
delity and commendable despatch.
Ten New Locomotives.
A joint resolution was reported in the House
of Representatives of this Stat j on Wednesday
last, authorizing the Canal Commissioners to
purchase ten new locomotives, to be used upon
the Columbia and rortage Roads. An amend
ment was offered that these locomotives cost not
over 9,000 each, and the resolution as amend
ed, passed. We are confident that the business
which will be thrown upon the Portage Road
after the canal opens in March, cannot be trans
acted unless additional locomotives are provided.
The Locomotives in use on the old Portage are
entirely unfit to draw a train of cars up a fifty or
sixty foot grade on the new Portage, as cans be
daily witnessed between the foot of Plane No. 4,
and the connection below Plane No. 2. Large
locomotives, such for instance as are used on
the York and Baltimore Road, of thirty or forty
tons each, are the kind that should be provided,
and such as these, or engines of equal power,
are the only kind that will transact the business
on the new Portage Road. Whether the amount
specified as above is sufficient to purchase loco
motives of this description, we know not; if it
is not, the amount should be increased. Small,
or medium-6ized locomotives trill not answer;
they must be large and have immense power or
the road will be "stocked" with cars. "
Executive Mansion.
A bill has been introduced in the Legislature,
providing for the construction of a suitable house
for the Governor of the State to reside in. We
are in favor of such a bill, and only wonder that
the movement was not made and carried out
. years ago. There should be a genteel, well fin
ished, and sufficiently large house built at Ilar-
risburg for the Governor to occupy. And the
Governor's salary should be increased, a thou
sand or two, to enable him to "do the honors"
for the old Keystone in clever style. The pres
ent salary scarcely supports one decently and
should be raised if the "mansion" is built. We
hope the bill may become a law and the house
be built during the coming Summer.
Chief of the Indian Bureau.
We cheerfully endorse all our neighbor of the
IIolliday6burg Standard says in the following
article, recommendatory of one of the best and
' most steadfast Democrats in the State. Col.
Stambavgu is ,by qualification and experience,
admirably fitted to discharge the duties of Chief
of the Indian Bureau, and we trust he may be
selected for that position. The Standard says :
Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh.
In these times of cabinet-making, when almost
everybody are trying their hands, it may not be
out of place ia us if we too should make a simple
suggestion not in the way of forming a Cabinet
for President Pierce, in whose ability to perform
all the functions devolving upon him as Chief
Magistrate we have the most unlimited confi
dence, but in a sphere of entirely different char
acter. The incoming administration will have
many appointments to make besides the appoint
ment of those men who shall compose the con-
I , : -iv-.. i
any, 01 muse ppoinimems possess more interest I
to the nation than that of the appointment of
the right kind of material to take charge of tl e
Bureau of Indian Affairs. First among all the
men of whom we have any knowledge is Col.
Samuel C. Stambaugh, as a fit,. if not the fittest
man to place at the head of the Indian Bureau.
Col. S. was first appointed Indian Agent in
1828, since which time he has been connected
with the administration of Indian- affairs in
some capacity or other. Hisaccurate knowledge
of all the ramifications of the different Didian
departments is second to that of no other man.
.We know not whether Col. Stambaugh wishes
the appointment ; but this mnch we will say,
that if he would accept the appointment at the
hanJd of the President, and President Pierce
would confer it upon him, the Indian Zepart
ment could not fall into better or more compe
tent hands.
We think, therefore, that in tiie selection of
Chief of the Indian Bureau, President Pierce
could not choose a gentleman better fitted to
take charge of thar office than Co!. Samuel C.
Stambaugh, of Luu?ustcr-county

Dr. Thomas C. Banting.
The following notices commendatory of our
estimable and gallant friend Dr. Thomas C. Bunt
ing, late Register of Wills, Philadelphia, will meet
with a hearty response not only from those who
served with him in Mexico, but from all who en
joy the pleasure of his acquaintance. The Pitts
burg Chronicle, says :
This gentleman, who was Surgeon to the Penn
sylvania regiments during the war with Mexico,
and who, since the ending of that memorable
campaign, has been Register of Wills at Philadel
phia, has, we observe by the Eastern papers,
retired to private life. We remember very well,
after the return of our volunteers, praises of Dr.
Bunting were upon all their lips ; and it is this
recollection which now prompts us to notice him.
He was kind and attentive to those we liked,
and by his attention to them he gained the love
of all.
From one of the Philadelphia papers we select
the following compliment to the Doctor and his
public course: "He has made a most competent
and efficient, officer, and has given entire satis
faction to the members of the Bar, and to all
having business in his office. He retires with
the best wishes of hosts of friends for his pros
perity, and of whatever he majrhave made du
ring his term of office, he 13 fully deserving f r
its good administration. His successor will be
fortunate if he gives equal satisfaction in the
office."

The New Hampshire Patriot in its issue of the

"lne two numbers issued, evince a higl

judgment. If these two numbers are fairsam

Terrible Calamity.
On Thursday last Lieut. James W. ghaum-
wis, wi "Uhiiiiijrton city shot A. H. FnlW
a revolver, as he was entering the National Ho
tel, and it is believed the wound will prove fa
tal. The difficulty arose about a bill of board
owing by Shaumberg to Fuller. The former
was immediately arrested and is now in jail.
For the "Sentinel."
A. J. Rhey, Esq. Having just received the
Sentinel, and casting my eye over the Editorial
column, it fell upon an article at the bottom
from the "Providence Journal," which strikes
me as showing the editor thereof as being a
"leetle hard strained." Yankees arc smart, and
know a great deal, I am aware ; but sometimes
we find one who kuowsjfoo much. That is either
the case with this editor or, he is very nice
or, he wants some very nice appointment, per
haps Preceptor of National Etiquette.
Said Yankee editor takes all his brethren to
task for calling Mrs. Piekce the "Lady of the
President elect ;" and sagely informs them, in
the most positive manner, that "they are legal
ly married and she is entitled to the name of
wife." The "d 1" she is ! Who said thev
were not married or that she teas not entitled to
such a consideration ? Then he forces a con
struction, which "shacks" all his "ideas or mo
rality." Verily here is an "addendum" to
"thosa nice Blue Laws."
I ask you, my fashionable friend Rhey or I
may perhaps more appropriately say, who un
derstands fashionable life, is it not the custom,
everywhere, (and custom forms laic,) in recor
ding the names of Men and their Wives, to en
ter th em "Mr. A. and Lady ?" and who ques
tions the legality of their associatirn as such
man Jf wife ? This one instance will suffice
now for the great American Lexicographer, No
ah Webster refer to the large edition of 1815
page 4S3, and see how much there is in the
term "Lady" to shock his over sensitive modes
ty Lady, "a word of complaisance, used of wo
man." Then to page ICS "Comjdaisance," see
what is said of that.
Yours Truly, jfer Ccn.
In answer to our correspondent's question we
would state that it is customary, for the hus
band to record the names, when, for instance, he
stops at a hotel, Mr. and Lady. He should,
in our opinion, use the word wife. It sounds
more home-like. We do think there is a reluct-,
ance to use the word wife, why we cannot ima
gine. People evince a disposition to avoid using
it, in its proper place. Fashion makes the word
"Lady" more refined, therefore is it used. Why,
now-a-days, a marriage is always a marriage iu
"high life," never a wedding ; in low life it is
la wedding. We see no reason for the distinction,
the word marriage should be used in all cases.
So, in speaking or writing of man and wife, we
do contend, that it is more appropriate, and bet
ter illustrative of the existence of a "bond of
union," to say Mr.-
and Wife, than Mr.
and Lady. Ed. "Sentinel."
Soldiers of 1812.
We publish below the bill offered the Senate,
of the United States, by Senator Brodhead, of
this State, for the relief of the Soldiers of 1812.
It was offered in the Senate on the 20th ult.,
read twice, and on motion cf Mr. Brodhead, re
ferred to the Committee on Public Lands, and
ordered to be printed. The amount to the Uni
ted States i? insignificant, and still it would
brighten many a desolate hearth, and cheer ma
ny a poverty-stricken veteran, or his suffering
relatives. Sufficient reward should be granted
to those brave men who, during the late war a
gainst the tyranny of England, perilled their
lives to defend their country's rights, and we
hope for the honor of the nation, knowing the
good that this bill will bring with it, that it may
pass and give joy to the hearts of the recipients:
A BILL

France. Napoleon has informed the officers
of State of his approaching marriage. His
speech is an able document. He says he con
forms to thenatiohal wish, and marries; but in
the choice of a partner he casts away old political
traditions. Royal alliances substitute family
interests for National. It is, besides, humiliating
to go begging for a wife. For seventy year?
