Union County star and Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1859-1864, 1861-10-18

We are desired by Gen. Il. c. Hale, the
head Of the q QIartcr-N Nas'cr.' Department
at lIarIi-brre, to notice the fact that the
General Government have advanced the
price Of socks furnished FIR the so'liers to
- cents per pnir, aud the price of binuk-
c's to $50 per Flir Robert kcndal!
having siguiGei his readiness to mauuflc-
ture blankets, sample has beca forwarded
to him by Express, with the ;.suraroa that
the Government viii take, at s. % pr
pair, all the blankets he makes coming uq
to the sample. This seems TO be a good
price Let all our Centre county manu-
f4cturers 70 to worl, and thus bring money
into the county. We understand that Her
vcy Mann has his entire force engaged in
tie manufacture Of army axes. This l.
right let the wool-growcr bring in his
wool-hc will, no doubt, receive cash for
it. Our soldiers must have socks aud
hlaukets-and they must have them be-
fore the cold of Winter comes on. Let all
be active.-H,Hctontc Press.
Iay-The White Deer and Laurclton
Wooden Factories in Union county, with
all the factories in the loyal States, and
private contribu;ious, seem insufficient; to
supply our Volunteers with Blankets as
fast as they are needed, aud Government,
i, is stated, are obliged to send to the Oh
World for au adequate supply.
rea- While we have had 10 frosts Of any
consequence in Lewishurg aud vicinity, We
notice that several letters from our Nolun-
tecrs, in the South, speak of fros's and
great cold. Think of what it will be 10
miL-wintcr our men perhaps on the high
lands of Virginia, Kentucky, &c!
The ladies' Of Nfiuhurg AMI vicinity
succeeded in collecting 80 blankets, aud 50
pairs Of stockings, which they sent to Camp
Curtin on Tuc>Ily, the Grst Of this month.
We learn that a large number was also
sentfrom other parts Of the country. This
speaks vel fox rha patriJtism Of the ladies'.

Gen. Hale ackuowledgcs the roccip: Of
an additional gift of - blankets from the
Lewisburg Ladies Blanket Association.

rm-U Union township, iu Union county,
(wherein is the Union Furnlce) is model
Union district. 1t gave buchanan, as the
man to save the Union, Il m9jori;y-but
as he allowed the Union to be dissolved,
they next declared for Lincoln as the true
Union candidate, by a vote Of > to l. Il,
has sent Of 40 or 50 strong anl earnest
men to fight for the Uuion-aud yet sho
had enough staunch Unionists at home to
give more than half Of her votes for
tno whole Republicau-Union ticket. and
in return for this true Uuionism, Union
county has just given Union township (for
the first time in very many years. not one
only bu. two Ofices-for which they gi'ce
us a brace Of JESSEs- Beaver and Walter
to whom, with Rookie, Cawlcy, Pursel,
krcamcr, &c, We suppose We are indebted
for this Predominant Uniouist influence.
s@Thc "Col Merriil's clvalry' sent
to range the Osage Valley By Fremont,
we suppose to be headed by Lewis Merrill
late of this COUNTY, as he was last heard
from raising mounted regiment from ST,
Louis and vicinity. We have not heard
from the Union and Lycoming PennsyIva-
mans near iberia for some timc-tLc back
track of Prices Rebel army We suppose
lies westward Of thcm-5ut trust that ere
this Col.Nerrill has giTen them friendly
call.
PENNSYLVANIA REsERvEs.-The force
called out from Pennsylvania, known as
"M'Calrs Division" is divided into three
btigades-as follows:
