Gen. Mcclellan in Command
New Regulations

The entrance of Gen. Mcclellan upon his
duties as commander of this military DEPART
ment, has inspired the troops in and around
Washington with renewed military ehtbusis
asm. He has already visited the various en-
trenchments on the Virginia side, examined
into their condition and strength, and in.
stituted the strictest discipline among the
soldiers and in all departments of the service
within bis jurisdiction. Brigade, regimen
tai and line officers are made to understand
that lcunging and tipping around the camps
are not to be permitted The much abused
passport system has been greatly res ricted
and the facilities heretofore enioyed so free
ly Of communication between Washington
and the rebellious States, have been as far
as practicable curtaied. The effect of his
vigorous measures generally, is everywhere
felt, and the army has begun to realize the
presence Of military power which may be
safely trusted

EFrom the Harrisburg Tezenrnnh

from the HGfrtS0urg IetegraDh1
In Harrisburg, at the residence of Mrs Small.
in Chestnut street, A. GREGG NEFF, of Centre
county.
The deceased was volunteer in the army that
lately returned from the South. where he had con-
tracted disease which has resulted thus fatally.
He was young in years, but of most gallant and
fearless disposition, loving his country as he did
his God, and serving both zealously, earnestly,
and with all the faith and power of an ardent SOL
der OF freedom. During his sickness in this city,
his only soicituie seemed to be for his country
For that he prayed, beseechng Heavens interpo-
slton In behalf of those who were struggling
that we might be permitted to continue free as a
people and great and powerful as govern ment.
The hope and desire of the dying soldier in this
particular of character that evinced his love
of liberty, his devotion to his nation, and the in
tensity and earnestness of his character.
The young soldier was most tenderly nursed
and cared for by the lady at whose house he died.
To these attentions the wife of Governor Curtin
also contributed, and was present at the bedside
CT the dying soldier, ministering to his wants un-
til his departing breath family knelled the truth
of his death.
There are venerable father and mother in
Centre county, to whom the assurance that their
only contrib uted his life to the service of his
country, amid the blessings and attentions and
tears of those who also feel as mothers, must be a
soothing consolation when the sad news of his
death reached them in their mountain home.

NEW EXPERIMENT IN STEAMBoATING.-Ex-
periments have recently been made in Eng
land for propelling steamboats, by disc
wheels. In place of the common paddle
heel, a series of concentric discs are fast
ened on the main shaft at small distances
apart. These are revolved at a high rate of
speed and their friction in cutting the wa
ter propels the vessels. The results of the
experiment so far have been quite satisfac-
tory 1t is claimed for this wheel that it
possesses advantages over the paddle wheel
in cheapness, durability and freedom from
accident.
