months campaign, and the 1t Colonel in
,be Mexican war They are widely known
throughout the entire county, and possess
in the fullest degree the respect and con-

could not possibly find better field for
the display of their patriotism than in the
ranks of this regiment.
Company F, of Col. Geary's regiment,
is formed by the merging of two parts of
companies, hailing respectively from Gal
litzin, this county, and Allegheny county.
The officers are as follows: Captain, Jos.
B. Copeland, of Allegheny; First Lieu
tenant, David Mills, of Cambria; Second
Lieutenant, Caleb Greenwalt, Of Alleghe-
nv; First Sergeant, Peter Kaylor,- Of
Cambria At latest accounts, they were
stationed at Point of Rocks, Maryland.
4 squad of some ten or twelve men left
this place for Pittsburg on Monday, to fill
up the ranks of Capt. Williams 18th reg
ular infantry company. They were all
from this vicinity. This regiment is ex-
pected to be attached to Gen. Sherman's
formerly Anderson's) command, in Ken
tucky.
The ranks of the ''Silver Grays," we
understand, have been almost filled to the
maximum standard. We b.lieve no def
mite time has been arranged for the depar-
ture of the company for the field of glory
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-On Thursday Of
last week, an aggravated case of highway
robbery was committed on the Ebensburg
and Wilmore Plank Road, few miles
from this place, under the following cir
eumstances Mr.. Thomas Williams, a
young man residing in Cambria Township,
who was returning from Wilmore with an
unloaded wagon, fell in with two strolErg
vagabonds short distance below the Wal
ton House. The men requested to be al
lowed to ride in the wagon, which re-
quest was cheerfully acceded to. While
they were still talking, one of the travel
lers, taking advantage of to him auspi-
eious moment, dealt Mr.. w. a severe blow
on the head with cane, prostrating him
and rendering him entirely senseless for
ihs tine being. The rufhaus then pro-
eoeded to rifle his pockets Of their valua-
bles, among which were two pocket-books
containing sum Of money and papers,
after which they decamped for parts un-
known. The horses attached to the wagon
then started home ward, and Mr.. W.'s feet
having hecnua entano oled in the lines
when he fell, he was dragged IN that con-
dition still senseless, to the Walton House,
where he was taken up and cared for. He
was severely though not seriously injured
BY his several mishaps. A warrant was
immediately issued for the arrest of the
villains, but they have not yet been taken
It is to be hoped, however, that they may
be nabbed and punished as they deserve.
KILLED IN THE ROLLING MILL.-A
Young man, a German, aged about IL
years, named Conrad Woolf, was killed in
the Rolling Mill, at Johnstown, on Thurs
Gay night, the Gath ult., by being drawn
between the Rolls While in the act of
reaching across the Rolls to obtain an oil |
can, a knit jacket which he wore caught
IN the machinery, and before he could
dlsengage it he was drawn through be-
tween the Rolls, By which he received
such injury that he died in about an hour
alter. His head passed through at the
coupling, space of about eight inches,
and was not much hurt, but the greater
portion of his body passed obliquely be-
tween the Rolls, and it was consequently |
terribly bruised and crushed. So says the |
Cambria Tribune.
