WHAT Is THE MATTER ?-Little Blair,
the noble little county which, upon the
first intimation of danger to the Federal
Capital after the fall of Sumter, threw her
citizen soldiery into the field by hundreds
and hundreds, and even proposed TO take
the whole war by contract, with a voting
population of 5000 has only five hundred
men row in the field So says the AL
toona Tribune. What is wrong? Our
sister county, of whom we have long had
reason to be proud, can do better than
this. We have strong faith that she will
ultimately make up for lost time by gal
lantly coming to the rescue in numbers
sufficient to re-entitle her to the high po-
sition she occupied at the outbreak of the
rebellion

correspondence of The Alleghenian.
We returned to this place on Wednes-
ssv evening from ''The Great Falls of the
zpotomac," where we had been ten days on
nicket duty. The 11th regiment guarded
about seven miles along the bank of the
river, connecting with the pickets thrown
.,t BY Gen. Banks division near Edward S
Ferry. The river, which in many places
4 less than hundred yards wide, alone
.eparated us from the Rebel outposts. The
Both regiment Virginia Cavalry, who were
Guarding the opposite side, made US a

CAMBRIA THE BANNER CoUNTY.-It
is estimated that Cambria county, with
voting population of about 400, has now
some twelve hundred men in the field do
ing battle for the Union-over one hun
dred of this number being in the regular
service. This is something over one
fourth of all her voters. There are few
counties in the State, taking size and
population into account, that can come up
to the above figures, and we incline to the
belief that not single one can go ahead
thereof In addition, recruiting is rapid
ly being carried on throughout the coun-
ty, and the foregoing aggregate will be
swelled considerably during the coming
months. In view of this fattering state
of affairs, we suggest that, in matters ap-
pertaining to Loyalty and Devotion to

credit of being known hereafter as the

MALICIOUS MIsCHIEF.-We are in

night of last week, some malicious scoun-
drels, with worse than secession princi-
Piles, committed a series of depradations on
the premises Of Mr.. George Settlemoyer,
a respectable farmer in Summerhill town
ship, which for cool premeditation and
villainy, almost induces us to believe that
we have an organized band of border ruff
fans in our county. Among other wan
ton acts, they threw down and destroyed
large amount Of fence, laying open Mr..
SIS fields and grain to destruction tore
up the bridges on the plank road near
Wilmore. so as to dash to pieces any wag-
ons that ight pass in the night and TO
crown ALL set fire to the school house on
MIR. SIS land, which, with its contents,
was totally consumed! This is not the
first time that acts of similar nature have
been perpetrate3 in that section, and we
hope the guilty scoundrels may be discov-
cred and punishment meted out to them
that will effectually deter them from par
ticipating in such devilish pastimes here
after.

MEETING TO CONSIDER ABOUT DEPosING THE
PREsIDENT.-The Boston Courier, very re-
liable paper, asserts positively that a meeting
of Republicans was held in New York City,
in April last, at which the question of the
overthrow of President Lincoln was discussed.
The idea was to Dust Lincoln by violence,
and establish Provisional Government.
The meeting went so far as to name the man
who was to supersede the President, and they
deputed one of the party editors to feel the
public pulse, Oar readers will recollect we
,eferred, at the time, to the article of the
New York Times, which threatened the Pres
ident with deposition. on ground of inbecility
and unfitness for the great exigency the
