SUPPoRY YeUR LOCAL PAPER.-The
following article, which we scissor from
an exchange, is SO appropriate to this lat
itude that we transfer it to our columns
without asking any questions cit is
surprising to us that SO many intelligent
men manifest so much Indifference about
sustaining their local paper. They seem
to forget the fact that the local press is
emphatically the representative and expo
ncnt of the local interests, wants and wish
es of each community, and on its energy
and watchfulness the community must
mainly rely. There is no greater mistake.
Not man, and especially business man,
but suffers by this Indifference. just in
proportion as your local paper is patron
lied is it enabled to advance the general
interests of the place.
Too many are willing to let their local
paper languish by Withholding from it
the patronage in their power to extend to
it. They say tits too small-not seeming
to realize that it is by their support that
it can be made larger and so improved as
to meet the full expectations and wants of
the community.
Now, we hold that if man is able to
take but one paper, it should be the one
published nearest his residence. His
first duty is to encourage. support and
sustain his home paper. If he can take
two, let the other be published at the
commercial metropolis of his own State,
If your local paper is not what you think
it should be, inquire of yourself whether
you have done all you ought to make it
better.

APPoINTED.-We are glad to announce
that Col. Wm. K. Piper, Of this place,
has been rendered the appointment of
Major in cavalry regiment recently or
ganized in Philadelphia. He has accept
ed the position, and departed last week to
enter upon its duties. The Colonel-we
mean to say, 1uaJor-will MAKE an excel
lent officer, and we expect to hear good
account of his exploits in the tented field.

SUMNER REsoRTs.-The number of
visitors at the summer resorts IN this
county is said TO be much smaller this
ear than usual. Whether this state Of
,fa.rs IS owns 10 tLe irigidlty of tne at
-esshere tins far, or 10 the more potent
aiuence OF scarcity of spondulix we are
not prepared to say--but SO it is. Gen.
anderson is still rUsticating at Cresson,
with many good results as to his corporeal
system.
Talking of watering places, invalids and
pleasure seekers should come to Ebens-
burg. For it is fact conceded on all
hands that we are blessed with brighter
SKY aud cooler breeze, with clearer wa
ter and taller trees, with higher mountains
and deeper wales, lovelier walks In roman
tIc-er dales, with purer air and sleeper hills,
aad better hotels that charge smaller bills
taan any other spot in the universal
American continent.
Besides the above attractions, we may
add that there is always an abundance of
game in the forest, trout in the streams,
EhSkey in the calabash, blackberries and
ether berries in the jungles, pretty girls
the neighborhood, and amusement of
al sorts lying around loose in packages

FLAG RAIsING.-0n Saturday, 10th
inst, beautiful National flag was raised
on the ST. Boniface Church, in the "Glos-
ser settlement" Chest township. A large
number, including many ladies, were as
sembled, and old and young appeared 20
partake of the enthusiasm common to ev-
cry true American when the Stars and
Stripes are unfured to the breeze. After
hosting the flag upon the pinnacle Of the
church, meeting was organized and John
Elder, Esq, chosen President. Patriotic
addresses were delivered by David j.
Jones and A A. Barker, who were pres
ent, and Nicholas Helfrich, Esq, a wor-
thy citizen Of Chest, delivered an address
in German, which, although not under
stood by your correspondent, appeared to
be we'll received by the audience. But
one sentiment and one feeling pervaded
the assembly, determination that the
Star Spangled Banner shall never be
trailed in the dust by the hands of either
foreign or domestic foes And here, in
this temple dedicated to the service of
Almighty God, surmounted by the Cross,
the symbol of Christianity, and by the
Star and Stripes, they met-not forgetting
their duty to their God, they put on re-
cord their loyalty to our common country
and her institutions. OBSERVER.

An ImporIamt Movement.

1t appears that important movements
have been going on for some time past in
Eastern Kentucky and East Tennessee
The U. S. troops are penetratingin the di-
rcctiou of East Tennessee, while the loyal
citizens of that section are marching
northward to meet them and obtain arms
and ammunition. The details of this
movement are set forth in the following
extract from the N. Y. Post:
The country bounding Eastern Tenues-
see on every side, except to the West, is in
the hands of people who are AS loyal MS the
East Tcunesseans themselves. When Gen.
Anderson reaches the Tennessee line he
win find himself welcomed by thousands
of stalwart mountaincers, who have been
only waiting for him, and for the powder
and lead, the field batteries, and the rcgu-
lar soldiers lie carries with him, to assert
themselves and begin operations against
the insurgents There is reason to believe
that he will find regiments, already organ
lied and secretly drilled, ready to his
hand: and that if the Government could
furnish him fifty thousand men TO place IN
East Tennessee, another fifty thousand,
hardy and loyal mouutaiueers, would gath
er round this force ut once.
"The 'Goufedcrate troops from Tonnes
see, which have been marching iuto South
eastern Kentucky for three weeks past,
without word of repronch from Gov.
MugoiIin turn out to be loyal East Tonnes
scans. Poor Mugotfin, who has been
shamcfully deceived, is ere this cnlighten-
ed by the following extract in the Win
chester (Kcntucky) National Union:
ct ,r
here that the invaders we're not so much
to be feared as at first thought, and later
information proved the foe to he friends
from the loyal mountains of Tennessee,
who. IN accordance with Il precUnccrted
pIau, had marched to Kentucky to aid i'll
securing the arms intended for them. y
similar movement ON Il smaller scale had
previously taken place on the 81 ult.
." A CORES pondent writes, Under date of
the 9TH, that the village of Barb0mrsviile
had been in a state of the widest excite
mcut since about twelve O'Clock yester lay,
ut which time sixty TenuesseeNns marched
in, benring at their head the Stars and
Stripes. They were welcomed Ivy Onr

enthusiasm and joy. In addition to
