MESSRS. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. l Salamander safe which
purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam r.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1858,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it wiLhstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging TO
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50, ,0O0) was in my Mill which
was destroyed the night of the 9th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca:hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours TO an intense heat
among the ruins which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within The brick walls. After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
Yation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully
[sel3 SAMUEL RANCK.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

TUE CAMBRIA GUARDS AT WASHING
ou-The Cambria Guards, after leaving
Camp Wright on Tuesday of last week,
.sre taken through to Harrisburg the
came evening, where they staid over night.
On Wednesday they got as far as Balti-
more. where they also encamped for the
riUbt; and on Thursday they arrived at
Washington. They are all well and in
excellent spirits, and feel quite gratifed at
being called upon to. assist in defending
the National Capital.
Owing to the hurry and confusion Incl
dept to changing quarters, our regular
correspondents have failed TO come to
time this week but in lieu of their jot-
tincs we subioin couple cf extracts from
rriyate letters that may not be altogether
uninteresting to our readers.
Speaking of some incidents of the trip,
one of the Guards writes:
~ must put in word here for the Ia
dies of Huntingdon They met us at the
cars with bountiful supper-more than
sufficient to feed the twelve hundred men
who were in the train-consisting of hot
coffee and tea, bread and butter, warm
biscuit, boiled eggs, pickles, and in fact
everything else good to eat. Their kind
ness will never be forgotten
Long may the ladies of Huntingdon
wave
Another speaks in terms of highest
praise OF the liberality of the good people
Of fGalitzin, this county.
And still another, writing under date of
Washington, July 2Sth, says:
Last night, when the majority of US
we're in bed, our picket guard was heard
fring the alarm, and almost at the same
Instant the drums were heard to beat the
call, "to arms ~ The cry "the enemy Is
ad7ancing on Washington ~ was heard on
all sides, and all encamped in and about
the glorious old Capital were soon at their
posts, ready and willing to spill their
hearts best blood in defence of it. 1t was
relnarkable to see in what short space of
lime the llth (our regimen0 was formed,
aud how eager they were for the fray
1t first we thought the enemy were in
our very midst, but more scouts were
thrown out, and it was ascertaine1 they
we're ten miles distant Our picket guard
was fired at several times, but not injured
Our officers express the whispered opinion
that an attack will be made at this point
very soon. So the "bloody 1lth," as we
are called, will soon have a chance to be
n,'-and that is just what we desire"

live Unionists in that unenviable nest

Big THING ON THE CoLoRs. s.-Almost
directly opposite the centre of attraction
in the West Ward of this free and enlight-
ened borough there stands dwelling
house, and on the apex of the roof of that
dwelling house there is planted flag
staff, from the top of which flagstaff floats
majestically to the breeze, whene'er the
wind bloweth, Star Spangled Banner
To say that that Star Spangled Banner
has seen better days would be a weak ex-
preston. It is dilapidated. It is played
out The surface intended to represent
the Stripes, owing to the combined infiu-
ence of long and hard usage and wind and
stormy weather, has resolved itself into
innumerable rlbands, which futter gaily
to and fro, each riband being totally in
dependent Of the motions of the rest. In
short the flag is In about as bad state OF
repair as were the uniforms of the Ragged
Pennsylvanians before the new order of
things was inaugurated. The other day,
our friend j., who is observant very, noted
this sad case Of decay; and pointing it
out, remarked: "That standard is sadly
degenerated from the original intention
for, instead of the Stars and Stripes, it is
now clearly only the Stars and Strips !! !'

SUPPORT Your LOCAL PAPER.-Last
week we laid before our readers a very
pithy, brief, and Sensible extract on the
above subject. 1t aimed at correcting a
mistake in the department of the public
towards the press-a grlevous blunder,
being failure to properly cherish, appre-
ciate and remunerate the latter profession
in their efforts to enlighten the world at
large. The extract in question was ap-
propriate, as far as it went but there were
a couple of items omitted in it that should
have passing notice.
In the first place, in the matter of stop
ping paper: the proper manner is not to
write "Refused" on the back of the publi-
cation and return it to the editor, without
so much as saying a single word, either
good or bad but, on the contrary, step up
to the captains office, fork over, take a
receipt, and retire with your colors flying.
Those miserly wretches who take paper
for year or term of years, and then
square their account by means of the Gre
fused" dodge, are the only human beings
that ever get struck by lightning or go to
penitentiary for mutton -flching.
After an editor has issued his paper for
a year or two, he frequently has occasion
to raise the financial wind To do this
he must dun Now, dunning is an un-
pleasant thing all around, but, like the
measles and vaccination, it must be put up
with. 1t seems to us, however, that news
paper subscribers are more particularly
averse to being dunned than any other
class of men. Occasionally, after insinu-
ating bill into their hands, the editor is
regaled with "There's your money: now
stop my paper ~ "Call around in the
morning and I'll pay you: in the mean
time stop my paper y and the like
These same men, too, would support your
paper through all eternity were it not for
the terrible bills Bills-bills that s the
rock on which enterprise and speculation
of every sort seems destined to strand
the hideous nightmare that is to press the
life out of progression and excelsiorizatlon.
These two classes Of men-thc bane OF
wspaperdom-should be buried deeply
and few and short prayers said over them.
And the world would be none the worse
for their demise.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-08-01

Coon ADvICE-Now that the every
hard times" are around, causing a strin-
gency in money matters, we would advise
our readers to be saving and economical
in all business transactions. Forinstance,
do not turn bargain in the purchase of
a house OF horse, and then give price
and half for boots or shoes, ready-made
clothing, hats or caps, etc, by reason of
not knowing the cheapest houses-tor
that would be saving at the spiggot and
losing at the bung-hole. But-to make a
long story short--go to c. r. Jones store,
two doors west of the Arcade, and pur-
chase the above named articles at prices
to suit the times.

A PIONEER GoNE.-Mr. Christopher
Glass, aged eighty-six years, died on the
10th ult, at the residence of his son, in
Pine township, Indiana county. Mr.. G.
was one of the pioneers of Cambria coun-
ty, having cleared the first land in the
neighborhood of Munster He was an
honest, upright man, good citizen, and
an excellent neighbor. So says the Indi-
ana Messenger.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-08-01

DOUBTS ARIsE.-The Hollidaysburg
papers of last week intimate pretty plainly
that the cannonading at the battle of Bulls
Run, Va, on Sunday, 25th ult., was
distinctly heard in some portions of Blair
county. Now, as the distance between
the two points, as near as we can come by
reference to the scale of miles on a map
Of the war, is some one hundred and
twenty-five miles or so, it will be seen that
this is pretty big thing on auriculars.
And no mistake. Under the circumstan-
ces, we believe we'll take no more lemon
ade at present, thankee. What do yoes
drink, friends?
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-08-01

Nor TRUE.-The report which has pre-
vailed in this place for some days past to
the effect that 1t. John w. Short, of Co.
G, 10th regiment, (from Hemlock, this
county,) had been killed in Virginia, is,
we are happy to say, totally Incorrect
He is not only alive and kicking, but is
now at Harrisburg with his company wait
ing to be paid off.
