DIED.:

At Curwensville, of Apoplexy, IGNATIUs
THOMSON, Esq, in the 77th year of his age.
The deceased was born in Huntingdon county
in 1884, and settled on the Ridges in 1910. He
was one of the earliest settlers of our county
and contributed as much, perhaps, towards its
Improvement as any person in it He was re-
markabIe, through life, for an unvafying cheer
fulness of disposition, kindly manner which
hardly an offence could change-he manifest
ed childIke dOcilty towards all, an humcle
opinion of hinself~-he was always animated
with fund of hope, which upheld him III ma
ny trying hour during the last year of his
life, having had previous attacks of the dis
ease WHICH terminated in his death. And this
firm and abiding confidence in merciful God,
became his solace and strength as he felt the
approach of death, He was an honest man, a
virtuons good citizen, and died without hav-
ing known enemy, and was at peace himself
with all mankind. COM.

CLEARFIELD CoUNTY.-Athough Clearfeld
county has not yet sent a company, it has been
ascertained that $50 of her men, who were
down the river on RATS, instead of returning
home, enlisted in companies formed along the
river. Four hundred men are now enrolled
in the county, and regiment will be compile
ted within a few days. Walter Barrett, Esq.
son of Judge Barrett, has arrived for the pur-
pose of oftendering the services of the Regiment
to the Governor. We hope the Clearied boys
will have chance to show their vaor. If
they are all like our young friend Barrett,
they will make their mark.
Our Harrisburg contemporary has been sold
in the publication of the above paragraph. 1t
is not known how maay Clearield men have
volunteered their services down the river, but
we will venture to say that the number does
not exceed one-haf of the $50, as stated.
AS to the 400 now ready we believe that to be
fact but, the Individual above named, we
have been requested 20 state, has no authori-
ty to tender their services, he holds no po-
sition, as an officer, in either of the companies
Some of the companies have rendered their
services, and are accepted, and the rest are
getting ready.

| 1t is stated, by the best authority, that Lord
Lyons, the British minister, sent special
messenger to detain the steamer Persia at New
York until full dispatches could be forwarded
by him to the home government. Lord Ly-
ons is advised, to proffcr to the United States
Government, for the suppression OF the slave
State rebellion, arms and ammunition, and
troops from England and Canada. By the
Persia he sent out orders for three hundred
| thousand stand of the improved Minnie mus
ket, and for vast number of the celebrated
rified cannon. Orders in future are not to be
| filed in England for the rebel government for
arms, or ammunition, or shipso war.
Indescribable copsternation has spread

ted that his offers of service to President Lin
coin are now on their way TO Washington.
1t is reported, that the Rebels have conclu-
ded that it is impossible for them to capture
fort Pickens, and that many of the soldiers

and acting in concert with Lieut.. Gen. Scott.
Orders have been issued, it is reported, to
the Governor General of Canada, to offer to
the United States men and arms.

WAR FEELING IN NEW ORLEANs.-A dis
patch to the North american, from New Or
leans, dated on the 24th says 1.-THE war fe.
yer here is raging intensely, as it is also in all
parts of the State, and in Alabama, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Texas, Georgia, and other cities and towns
in the Confederate States. Indeed, 80 extern
siye are the preparations for the coming and
inevitable conflict, that everything in the way
of business is lost sight of, and thousands are
arranging their personal effects in anticipation
of the worst. In this city the ardor and en-
thusiasm has never been exceeded, and twen-
ty-five thousand men could be mustered into
the Confederate army, from this point alone,
in weeks notice." The game feeling exists
everywhere in the South, and her sons, to
man. will do or die in defence Of what they
believe to be their rights. Fhe dispatches
from the North represent that body as unit
against the South: but the South, IN the day
of battle, will be found equally so-for never
was there greater pnanimity in y cause than in
the conflict that is about to DC undertaken.
