Card from Senator Harris, of New
York.

To the Editors of the Evening Journal:
The press, within the last few days,
seems to have taken some interest in the
remarks made by me to my law class, in
relation to the removal of General McClel-
Ian. As what I said on that occasion has
been, to some extent, unsupported, take
the liberty of reporting precisely what oc-
Cured. As nearly as can recollect, it is
as follows: On entering my classroom on
Monday morning, and before proceeding
with my lecture, the class called for my
opinion as to the removal of Mcclellan. /
then said: The removal of General Nc
Clellan has both surprised and grieved me.
l think it is great mistake. Iregard him
as the ablest General the war has yet
brought to notice. am not aware of any
sufficient grounds for the step; but if it
must be done, then think the administra-
ton have done it in the best way. I re-
gard Burnside as an able General-the
next best man for the place. I know that
General Mcclellan has confidence in him,
and I believe that, so far as he is able, he
will carry out the plans and policy OF Nc
Clellan.
After abiding to the appointment OF
General Hooker to command under Gen.
Burnside, and expressing my confidence in
him, proceeded with my lecture. All
this occurred within the walls of my own
classroom, and with no expectation that it
would pass beyond them.
Yours with respect, IRA HARRIS.

What Gen. Halleck and the President
Thought q Few Weeks Ago.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80, 1862.
Major Gen. Mcclellan, Commanding General;
Your report of yesterday, giving the
results of the battles of South Mountain
and Antietam, has been received and sub
mitted to the President. They were not
only hard-fought battles, but well-earned
and decisive victories. The valor and en-
durance of your army in the several con-
flicts which terminated in the expulsion of
the enemy from the loyal State of Mary
land. are creditable alike to the troops and
officers who commanded them. A CRATE
full country, while mourning the lamented
dead, will not be unmindful of the honors
due to the living.

COmmander-in-C Chief.

The following is the order of Major Gen
eral FITz JOHN PORTER, on leaving his
corps, dated Camp near Warrenton, Va:
BY direction of the President of the
United States, Major-Gen. Hooker has
been assigned to the command of the
corps. 1t has been my privilege to lead
the little band of regulars, the permanent
army of the United States, inheriting the
names, the records, the traditions of regi-
ments that have borne the banner of our
country through all its wars.
1t has been my privilege to lead noble
regiments of volunteers, coming from diff
ferent States, but becoming equally ma
tional through having the same purpose,
the same dangers, and the same sufferings.
Having shared their perils in the camp, in
the bivouac, on the march, and in half
score of bloody fields, to the officers and
men of both classe l address myself
The confidence which, if / may judge by
your acts, you have reposed in me, it has
been my earnest effort to earn and requite.
The personal regard which I am proud to
feel that you bear toward me, is recipro-
Gated by an ardent affection, and deep
respect, which time cannot efface. The
personal good fortune Of each of you will
be always matter of heartfelt interest to
me.
The professional successes you will at
tain will be doubly grateful to me mas
much as they will be identified with the
success of our cause. Among the most
gratifying of my thoughts of you will be
the assurance that your subordination and
loyalty will remain in the future, as in the
past, firm and steadfast to our country and
its authorities.

In the name of the prophet! hear me

| observe that public journal, printed
in this immediate locality-the greater
the pity--has seen fit to enter protest
against the now quite prevalent custom of
girls "slsingling," otherwise cutting very
short and to point, their hair.
The editor refers, | presume, TO the
hair growing upon the caput proper. he
does not explicitly say so, however.
IF SO, the occasion calls for few re-
marks from cover the way"
Per contra-briefy-then:
In the first place. The abbreviated
style of hair, were its introduction to be-
come general, would effectually prevent
women from getting into one another's top
knots--as q now unfortunately so often
the case whenever they become belliS-
erantly inclined.
| Secondly 1t would save the enormous
outlay expended on combs (of various
sorts) and hair-pins also, the trouble OF
keeping these articles where they could
by any possibility be found when wanted,
Thirdly, 1t would save much precious
time, patience, perseverance and hair,oll

knows, enter largely into the composition

JOHNsTCwN, Jane 23; 1862.
To the Editor of The AUegAanian:
An extensive burglary was committed
here few days since. The millinery es-
tablishmeat Of Mrs. Clark, on Franklin
street, was entered, and goods to the value
of $50 carried off On the same night,
fifty dollars in scrip was stolen from r.
Durach, a grocer on Canal street. No
clue to the perpetrators Of these daring
robberies has yet been found
Not a little excitement was created
among early riscrs on Main street the
other morning, by the appearance of
horse, with the front part of wagon at
tached, coming down the street at railroad
speed. They were found to belong to
milk-wagon, the coupling of which had
broken, thus throwing down the hind part
and precipitating driver, milk-eans and all
in every direction. The horse was seen
red and returned to his owner, who was
standing speechless, gazing upon the
wreck around-him, snd meditating, no
doubt, on the sudden and extraordinary
"fall Of milk"
The Ninevah Pic Mic came off as per
announcement. Your correspondent had
not the pleasure Of being present thereat,
but understands that it was a large ar
rangement. One young gentleman I wot
of "cussed few" by reason of missing
the train which conveyed the picnickers
to the grounds. through the dilatoriness
of his iuamorata in matters pertaining to
the toilet.
Another Pic Mic was held at Morrell's
Grove on Thursday last. Lager and nu-
tilated music formed the principal atlrac-
ton, and were dispensed with lavish
hand The coming Fourth Of July will
be prolific Of affairs of'this kind. I have
already heard of no less than seven on the
tapis.
About the neatest specimen of hoax that
| have seen lately was contained in the
columns of the Indiana Democrat of few
weeks since. The editor gravely inform
ed his readers that he had it ''from gem
tleman from Johnstown that Wood, Nor
rell & Co. (of the Rolling MILD had hired
several 'contrabands' to wolk for them.
paying them taceaty-jfpc cents per dqy,"
and furthermore, that "the white laborers
threw down their tools and said they wo'
not work a stroke until the 'niggars were
discharged" Whereupon Mr. Morrell
chad to leave them go, and the laborers
then resumed their work" Now, this is
sheer fabrication. Some enterprising
Johnstowner has gulled the editor OF the
Democrqt most completely, as no transac-
ton of fhe kind ever occurred here. E.

THE FOURTH oF JULY-StaO 'oe Cele-
5rate ?-This is the question, before which,
just at present, all other questions, the
goose question and the question as to
whether lager will intoxieate included,
dvindle into comparative sinsi gnificancc.
Wenotice that in the cities and large towns,
preparations are being made on maSnlti-
cent scale to welcome the advent OF our
National birthday. All of which appears
70 ne n be am:nentiy beftting. We
should-this year above all others-atford
ourselves an opportunity TO give free and
unbridled ebullition to our latent Patriot
ism. The circumstances seem to demand
a "Hi-O Old-Time." Something after the
good old fashioned style-to wit, music,
oratory, gunpowder, lemonade and other
aids, decentralization, toasts and trumpets
the whole revised and improved, Fowev-
er, with marginal notes annexed for future
reference In short, We should, in the
spirit of thanksgiving, De joyous and gratc-
iul for the many "good gifts" showered
upon US as a People, and thus evince our
gratitude to that Great Disposer of Events
who hath 'made and preserved US Ma
ton
One year ago, the hosts Of Rebellion
threatened the National Capital, and grave
doubts were entertained as to whether
another Fourth Of July would dawn upon
as in existence as a great and powerful
Republic. i year has passed, and during
that year most glorious record has been
engraved upon the pages Of history, by
the deeds Of our heroes, who, with brave
hearts and strong hands, have marched to
-ictory over many bloody field, always
bearing aloft in triumph the glorious old
STARS and Stripes" The rebellion has
dropped its naughty crest, and instead OF
presenting q threatening attitude towards
/ the Government, it now is fanticaliy
struggling for It's very existence. Victory
crowns our efforts at every point, and Irea-
son is about pushed to the wall"
In view Of these aad other fattcring
facts, let US by all means have Big OBJ
serrance Of the O3casion-a celebration
as is a celebration. 1t will never do, you
know, for Ebensburg TO be behind her
sister towns in matters pertaining to pa
triotisrn and national pride.
Somebody second the motion-but don't

MAN kILLED.--A most melancholy
accident, resulting in the death of G man
named Biglen, occurred near Cresson, this
county, one day last week. The unfortu-
nate man, it appears, had been in atten-
dance upon ball at No. 4, and returning
home thorefrom, along the line OF the
railroad, he fell or laid down on the track.
Owing to over indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors, he was unable to perceive his
danger-at all events, he remained where
he fell until freight train coming along,
he was struck by the cow-catcher, and
horribly maDgled. One Of his legs was
crushed from the extremity to above the
knee, and so badly injured that amputa-
ton was rendered necessary. All efforts
to save him, however, were abortlve. He
fingered day or SO, when death put an
end to his suffering. The deceased resi-
ded between Cresson and Gallitzin, and is
spoken of as having been worthy man.
Alas that he should have put an enemy
into his mouth to steal away-hls Hfe g!
