SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1864.
(/
Mr. Editor of Mariettian :—A few
facts in behalf of our noble Patriots,
who- have enlisted from our good Bo
rough, to serve their country in its de
fence against a most unholy and wicked
attempt to,subvert it, may not be unin
teresting to your many readers; ; you
have herewith the figures showing the
number who have gone from among us-:
Total number since commencsment
of the war, and not less than 9 month's
service, 285. In service at present time
for three
„years or the war, white, 127;
colored, 31; total now in service, 158;
in addition eleven represented by com
muting,, and nearly a full company for
State defence, which would make a total
of about 360 men. Mary of these brave
fellows are now serving their second
term ofs years,—and to whom I am, most
particular in calling especial attention,
some few of whom when re.enlisting
from a pride of their native home were
accredited for their future service to
this place, relying wholly upon the pa
triotic and generous liberality of those
at home, making such. necessary provi
sions for awarding local bounties as not
to be oat-done by any of her neighbor
ing districts.' As there have bean nu
merous ineffectual , attempts made to
raise funds to fill our quota and avoid
the draft, would it not be an act of jus
tice to award those who have soldier-like
said, "I serve my country a Marietti
an;" now that our corporate and school
authorities are permitted to make loans,
covering such just claims, would it not
be well for them to act at once ? the
burthen would then be carried in pro
portion to each individual's ability, and
those in need be rewarded as they so
justly. merit. JUSTICE.
The Lehigh Register says :
friend who visited Reamstown, Lances
ter county, a' day or two ago, informs us
that the notorious Philip Huber, of
qolden Circle renown, was treated to a
ride on a rail by some veteran soldiers
in that vicinity on Monday last. The
affair:happened at a vendee, and occa
sioned considerable excitement. Ex-
Copt the' indignity, and a little rough
handling, Huber, so far as we learn, was
not injured."
gar Mr. Black, of Black's Rote), Co
lumbia, has leased the ferry between
Columbia and Wrightsville from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He
is getting 'a new steamboat, which is
being fitted up with all the new im
provements, and with a care to the com
fort and safety of passengers. It will
be ready in a week or ten days.
t ar The children of some of our pa
triotic families are about getting up a
faii'for the benefit of the U. S. Sanitary
Commission. The fair will open on
Wednesday afternoon at the Town Hall.
This deserves the greatest encourage
ment. See advertisement in another
column.
er Quite a spirited pigeon shooting

NEW MILITIA BILL.-A bill, complete
ly re-organizing the militia of the Com
monwealth, making them more service
able for resisting raids from the enemy,
has been prepared by the Chairman of
the Committee on the Militia system,
and read in place in the House. It is
built mainly upon the Massachusetts
system, and meets the approval of the
Adjutant General. Under the bill, the
State is divided into Regiments and
Brigades, and it prescribes the manner
of choosing all the officers of the minor
organizations, elective. It gives Phila
delphia four brigades, Allegheny one.—
The pay of each officer, non-commis
sioned officer and private is the same as
that of the regular service, allowing,
hoWever, thirty cents for rations to each
man. A fine of seventy-five dollars is
imposed for non attendance.
From evidence developed to the
workmen and others engaged in remov
ing the dead bodies on the battle-field,
they are now fully convinced that not
less than seven thousand rebels lost
their lives in that conflict. the bodies of
whom are still there. In one space of
three acres was found three hundred and
twenty-five confederate slain, and else
where in a single trench, two hundred
and fifty more. A considerable portion
of the battle ground is likely to be plo
wed up this spring and summer, by far
mers owning it, preparatory to planting
corn and other grain. As a matter of
course, the confederate graves must be
obliterated, and the trenches which now
indicate their burial places. There is a
desire with the people, in respect to hu
manity, to have these bodies, though of
the enemy, respectfully and decently
put away in some enclosure where they
may not be disturbed.
John,C. Rives, proprietor of the
Washington Giobe, died in that city on
Sabbath morning, at the age of sixty

and producing injuries from which he
soon after died.
lar The rebels made an attempt, at
an early hour last Saturday morning, to
blow up the United States steam frigate
Minnesota, fifty guns, stationed at the
mouth of the James River. A sinall
steam tug, with a torpedo attached, ap
proached the vessel about two o'clock
in the morning, and paying no attention
to the sentry's hail, ran into her, explo
ding the torpedo and doing considerable
damage to the ship. In the dai.kness
and confusion the rebel steamer made
its escape. •
A rumor prevails in military cir
cles that all the orguized militia of the
several states will be called out to de
fend the forts and arsenals in Washing
ton, Fortress Monroe, and other places,
so as to permit the veteran regiments to
proceed to the front and participate in

the various depots in this state are being
sent off as fast as possible.

OUR MEMBER'S Wm: Those acquaint
ed with Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, the
member of Congress from this district,
know that he wears a fine wig, the hair
of which presents the appearance of hav
ing grown on the head it covers. News
paper correspondents,.in their anxiety
to describe minutely the personal ap
pearance of the man who "stands a head
and shoulders higher" than any member
of the present Congress, have made somo
amusing mistakes about his hair, in
most instances representing it as rem
arkably 6ne for one of his age. Mr. Ste
vens enjoys s good joke, and must have
been highly amused at the following cir
cumstance, an account of which is going
the rounds of the newspapers. as follows :
"Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylva
nia, who has worn a wig for these twen
ty years, was lately applied to in behalf
of the St. Louis Sanitary Fair for a lock
of his hair to put in a Congressional
wreath."--Lancaster Express.
SPECIAL NOTICES,
Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters
is one of the greatest strengthening prepara
tions extant. It is especially adapted to those
who are afflicted with the fever and ague, or
any other disease arising from a disordered
condition of the digestive organs. Fur the fe
ver and ague there is perhaps no medicine in
the world equal to it, as it enters, purifies and
replenishes the blood, which is so important to
bring about healthy action in diseases of this
nature. The Bitters are now among the most
popular, and at the same time, valuable speci
fics in the medicine world. In recommending
it to the public, we are fully conscious of do
ing them a great service, knowing, as we do,
their many excellent' qualities, and sure and
speedy action in all cases where the disease is
caused by irregularity of the digestive organs,
A trial will suffice for the most skeptical.

SANITARY COMMISSION
Office of the Committee on Labor, Incomes
and Revenues, No. 118 South 7th St.,
PHILADELPHIA, April 4, 1864.
The Committee on "Labor, Incomes and
Revenues," invite co-operation with them in
the particular work for which they have been
appointed. As no portion of the people are
more patriotic than the working men and wo
men of the country, it is but just and proper ,
that they should alike have an opportunity to
contribute to the objects of the Fair. The
MOO equable plan for accomplishing this, and,
at the same rime the easiest ant, is to ask for
.he contribution of a single day's labor from
all classes of toe community. Many will con
tribute a day of their labor willingly, who
would not subscribe their money. To reach
every department of industry and art will be
a work of great labor, but, if attained, will
be productive of immense results.
The success of the plan will depend upon
the hearty co-operation of every element of
influence,within our limits, and we invite all
the guardians of the industrial interests, and
all others, to'take hold with us in furthering
this great work of patriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the follow
ing duty, to wit :
FIRST.—To obtain the contribution of "one
day's labor," or earnings E from every artisan
and laborer, foreman, operative and employee ;
president, cashier, teller and clerk of every in
corporated or unincorporated company, rail
road or express company, employing firm,
bank, manufactory, Trod works, oil works,
mill, mine and public office; from every pri
vate banker and broker, importer, auctioneer
and merchant ; clerk, agent and Salesman ;
designer, finisher and artist; publisher, print
er and mechanic ; from every government
officer, contractor and employee ; grocer,
Dißif
=I
=MEI

Total,
Great Central Fair,
butcher, baker and dealer ; farmer, I,
turist and pro lucer ; from every nian!,,a
ker. milliner and female operative;
dividual engaged in turning the soil.
the loom, or in any way earning a
or buildings fortune within the States or Pr ..•,.
sylvania, New Jersey and Delam , are.
Si:coan.—To obtain the contribution of Gel
day's "Revenue," from all the great e!iip.,y
ing establishments, lirms, corporations, r.rnirp.,-
Dies, railroads and works.
Tattan.—To obtain the contribution of on
day's income from every retired peisori, ati
person of fortune—male and female—lit ing
upon their means, and from all clergymen.
lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors, author,:
and professors; all other persons engaged in
the learned or other professions.
Much of this work must be performed bY
the personal inclzence and efforts ofladies and
gentlemen associated, or to be associated with
the Committee in carrying out this plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the
work they have undertaken, which, to be suc
cessful, wili b requir , . a very perfect ramifica
tion of their plan, and they therefore call upon
all earnest people, to assemble themselves to
gether in every town, township, and county,
aml form organizations of ladies and gentle
men to co-operate with thew in this great
work and labor of love. In the manufactu
ring counties, the coal and oil regions, and in
the agricultural districts,—especially, let then:
be organizations in the large towns, so that
young people may have an opportunity thus
to render assistance to their relatives and
friends fighting the battles of their country in
the armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be prose
cuted where no other effort can be made for
the Fair, as in the mines of the coal regions.—
A day's earnings of the miners, and a day's
product of the mines, can be oWained, where
no portable article could be procured for irans
porration. Indeed there is nu part or section
of these States where the day's labor may not
be obtained, if orwniznlions can be formed to
reach them.
Ihe Corntilittee cannot elO.-, , e without urging
upon all Proprietors of Establtshments, the
duty of taking promipt and energetic action to
secure the benefit Oi Tu i. DAY or LABOR. from
all within ti eir centrot.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do
more, than thus to present the subject to the
people of the three Slates mitne.i. In the
coming etunpaigns of our armies, the labors of
the "Sanitary Coinaussioa" trill be greatly
