The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-04-25

Noon; Third Lieut., John Cox.
Besides these, three ors;fpur other, COM
panies are rapidly being organized One
of them, commanded by Judge Easy, we
understand, left for Harrisburg on Tues
day.
The Johnstown troops, after being duly
armed and equipped at Harrisburg, took
the cars for Washington city on Sunday
morning, where they arrived safely and
are now on duty. They passed through
Baltimore without any trouble.
HEMLocK.-The Washington Rifles,
numbering 50 men and commanded by
Capt Dick White, took the cars for Har-
risourg on Saturday morning, where they
arrived the same day. They are quartered
at Camp Curtin" This is said to be an
excellent company, and will doubtless do
good service.
WILMoRE.-A military company is De
ing organized in Wilmore, and we under
stand that the ranks are rapidly filing up.
SUMMIT.-Capt Humphreys is speed
lily organizing company at this place.
GALLITzIN-A company is being for
med at this place.
THE uS1oN-Ir MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED.
Ee75> According to the new schedule, the
mail from the East for Ebcnsburg arrives
at Wilmore at 9.08 a. ~, and the West
ern mail at T.30 2. NJ 1t seems to us
that the necessities of the case require
that we should receive these mails when
they are Gue-one In the morning, and
one in the evening; but according to the
present postal arrangements, we receive
both mails at one and the same time-at
II o'clock, noon. BY this disposition, the
Western mail is obliged to lie over all
night at Wilmore, and until the Eastern
mail arrives in the morning. This is
eminently unjust and baneful to the in
terests of our community. Besides, both
mails leave here at one time, Cat o'clock,
p NJ and mail matter going Eastward
is consequently obliged to lie over at Will
more until the next morning. This is
indeed pretty state of affairs . In plain
words, the mail arrangement as ut present
conducted is Aun,Juy and nuisance, and
we hope our citizens viii take measures to
have it rectifed forthwith
SINGULAR CIRcUMsTANCE.-On Mon
day, man who gave his name as John
in Jackson tp., this county, in an almost
i;amishcd condition He had eaten moth
ing for several days, and was almost Who'll
ly destitute of clothing. Besides, his
wrists were encircled by pair Of broken
handouts. He states that he is a miner
from Coalmont that he had been arres-
ted somewhere for passing counterfeit
money; and that he had escaped from the
custody of the officers. He had hear
ing before Esquire Kinkead, who COM
,nitted him to Jail
a gentleman informs US that on
Saturday morning ar officer of the law
telegraphed from Gallitzin to Wilmore
that prisoner had escaped from his Gus
tody in the cars at about the latter point.
This is probably the identical individual
THE Posi- OFFIcE.-So it appears that
we were all wrong with regard to the
Postmastership Of this borough 1t was
currently reported and generally believed
until within a week past that Maj. John
Thompson was to be our Postmaster
indeed, it was stated that he had received
official notification to that effect but on
Saturday NJ. S. Harr, Esq, received no
tiication shat lie was to be the man. We
understand that Mr.. II has filled out and
returned the requisite bonds to the T. Q.
Department, and it is probable that his
commission will shortly arrive.
MARRIED-In Ebensburg, the Sd day of
December, 1860, by the Rev. John Williams,
DR.. JOHN II. CLARK to Miss SUE P LINTON,
eldest daughter of r. p Linton, Esq.

der them our congratulations. May their
welded lives be happy and peaceful, and
