soldier, and the drumming out Of camp of an
other The latter interesting performance took
place on Thursday evening last, about O'Clock,
in order to have tho imposing ceremony con-
clude Just as the evening train passed up to
Philadelphia. The fellow name was Gallagher,
private, from Danville, Pa, where he has
family, and is said 10 be worthless rs not TO
have u single redeeming virtue in his character.
lie had been 10 jlil for cafe keeping for two or
three days. After stripping off soldier clothes.
he was marched round bare headed with his
bundle OF duds under his arm, md a bHyonet
held on either side of him, followed by the drums
mud fife, playing the hOmely tune-"poor Old
Soldier" The volunteers, marching in order,
brought up tho rear. The fellow, 'ornery" as
he is said to be, seemed TO be quite sensitive to
the disgrace, Judging from the sluggish manner
| ho trudged along, scratched his noodle, rubbed
| his Noise turning partially round nj intervals
toward his grinnng camp-mates md assuming
q hangdOg expression generally. When the
train arrived, the company broke ranks, hustled
the cashored volunteer into the cars, and h0otrd
and jeered him out OF sight.
SUDDEN DEArHs-The death of Mrs Dough-
ten, daughter of Thomas Turner, ESQ, was
very sudden. On Saturday week, she walked
from New Castle to the encampment al llaro's
Corner in company with several other ladies, aud
appeared in good health on returning in the eve
ming. On Sunday morning, however, she was
attacked with disease, and after few hours
suffering expired. She was an es,imable young
Indy, and her eudden decease is u severe blow to
her husband and friends.
The captain of vessel from Portland, Me-.
which is being loaded with ship timber, at New
Castle, for England, was on shore on Thursday

DEATH OF NoLuNTEER.-DnyidS hubert,
private in company g, Capt Layton, died on
Sunday last, n few hours before the departure
of the volunteers. Mr.. ShubeTt resided in this
city, and was much respected. AS the yolun-
teers have all gone, and the brave fellow has
been stricken down by the hand of death, just
| on the eve Of his departure on his great and
! noble mission, we think that he certainly de-
, serves to be buried with all the hOuOrs due TO n
soldier, we would therefore suggest to the Home
Guards, the propriety Of adopting suitable men-
sures for attending his funeral, and performing
the last sad rites due to o volunteer defender Of
our couhtry's honor
An UNFoRIUNATE SLIP.-The John Trucks
seems to be under an unldcky star. They got
her from the river bottom on Friday night, by
means of schooDers fastened to her sides by
, heavy chains under her keel NJ low water, The
complete raising was accomplished on Saturday
afternoon. The water-loggel ship, with the
sustaining schoonefs, were about being towed up
the river to shoal water at Coates street, when
an unlucky accident occurred. The chain that
1 supported the stern of the wreck gave way when
out in the channel opposite Arch street. letting
her down again in as bad position as she occu
pied before. In consequence of the breaking Of
tho chain therefore, all the work must be repeat
ed. Indeed, from the present position OF the
n ship, the task OF second raising must be even
more difficult than before.
PEgNsYLvANIA RAILROAD DRIDaE-The new
bridge over the Sohuylkill at the Philadelphia
almshouse grounds, is being rapidly pushed for

to the bridge will thus be Of durable character,
commensurate with the wealth Of the company.
The piers are being rapidly completed, and
heavy timber and stone line both shores of the
river The work may be seen from the cars in
! the vicinity of Gray's Ferry Bridge.
