Another "Arbifrary Arrest,

The Bellefonte Press gives the following
account of copperhead proceedings in
| Centre county:
On last Thursday our town was pretty
near the scene of serious affair. The
particulars, as correct as could be cot from
II many flying reports, are as follows
1t is very well known to the most of our
inhabitants that portion of the people of
Penn's Valley are not loyal and TO speak
plainly on the subject, we think we are
justifiable in pronouncing them traitors to
the very Government that protests them
and their property by the strong arm Of
the law from their enemies. They have
openly declared their intention of resisting
the draft, and vowed vengeance on the
enrolling officer, should he be caught in
their midst. But, nothing daunted, and
determined to fill the responsibilities of his
office to the utmost, the officer made his
appearance amongst them, and at once
proceeded to enroll those of the inhabitants
subject to the draft. He met with some
opposition at different places, but ran no
risk OF personal danger until he got with
In the limits of Penn township. There
he met with man by the name Gf Charles
Wingert, who refused to be enrolled, and
also used threats of dangerous character
towards the officer, one CT which was, that
if he did not leave the premises immedi-
ately he would shoot him.
The officer came to town and related the
particulars of the affair, and on Thursday
night posse of men headed by Provost
Marshal Butts, Went to the residence OF
Wingert, and demanded that he should
deliver himself up; this he refused to do,
and they were compelled to force the door.
When they did so he was found under the
bed, and his loaded gun near at hand, but
which he was too cowardly to use. Mr..
Wlngert was escorted to town, and engaged
boarding at Sheriff Alexander's stone
boarding house on the hill.
The next day couriers arrived here with
the information that one hundred armed
men from Penn township were marching
on Bellefonte, with the intention of free
ing the prisoner, and if any resistance was
offered, OF burning the town. This news
spread like wild fire, and in less than two
hours over hundred men, armed and
equipped for fight, had assembled to dc-
fend the town. When this reached the
ears OF the Penh's Valley chivalry, they
thought proper to "skedaGdle," which
they did in double quick time across the
mountain.
1t is well the two parties did not come
In collision, for had they done SO, the loss
OF great many lives und oubtedly would !
have been the result. An example should
be made of the ringleaders of this open
contempt of the law, or serious results
might yet arise from it. If such is the.
opposition to be made to the enrollmept5of
names, what will it be when the daft
takes place.
On Saturday Wingert was. taken tn.
"ili1amspoIt to await his trial at the Uni,
TED States Court, now III sessiop. at that
place. ''''

hsT The question of rank between ths
Major Generals of the army has been
decided by board CT officers, to whieh it
has been submitted, by determining the
following order of precedence:
Maj Gen. Mcclellan, appointed May
l4th, to take rank, from the same dase.
Maj. Gen. Frernont, appointed July ls' {
to take rank FROM May 14th, 1861.
Maj. Gen. Banks appointed June 9th,
to take rank from May 10th 1861.
Maj Gen. Dix, appointed June 18th,
to take rank from May 10Th, 1861.
The decision is upon two grounds -
Flrsr, that an appointment may be anti
dated by the President, as in General
fremort's case; and, second, That order
ID which the names stood on the list.
when the appointments were sent into
the Senate. 1t decides the rank between
Banks, Dix and Butler, without regard to-
actual date of appointment by the Presi-
dent.

KIssEs-A sensible cotemporary says !:
'The women ought to make a pledge not
to kiss man who uses tobacco"
So they had! but the deuce of it is, all
the handsome men use it in soue shape !!
And kissing is little luxury not to be
dispensed with.
As to female kiss, faugh! there's no
effervescence in tits as fiat as an un-
mixed soda powder If I'm victimized
that way, [ always take an early application
of soap and water You will see women
practice it sometimes, just to keep their

Now, kissing is a natural gift, not to be
acquired by any bungler; when you meet
'gifted brother" "make note on it, as
Capt. Cutie says. There's your universal
kisser, who can't distinguish between your
kiss and your grandmother's. Faugh =
There's your philosophical transcendental
kisser, who goes through the motion in
the hair! There's, oh my senses they
say there's such thing as "unwritten

Well, the result of all this is-for Sally

l say that the result of all this is, that
if you, reader, ever happened to see
farmer John Wells twenty yeats ago, you
wouldn't know him to-day; no, that you
would not.
Look up the road; see that dashine
carriage. Well, that is the property Of
Esquire Wells and his still handsome
wife. Mark the old gentleman as he
glances this way. With what an air he
bows Perfectly well bred, assure you
perfectly at his ease. His cheeks are
ruddy, you perceive, although his hair
has turned gray, and his eye has fire and
expression, both of which were wanting
there once. He sits quite erect, also,
thanks to his wife, for she has been the
magician's wand, the Transforming power.
She knew what she was about when she
took upon herself the matronly Office. Go
to his home and see the three happy,
ruddy children there "Poor Mrs. Wells" /"
when she bore children could not snatch
the time from ordinary domestic duties
to take care of either souls or bodies, and
the consequence was a deterioration of
both, and five little graves in the church
yard. The sacrifice Of so much life was
not needed; doctor bills and intermentS
came to more than two strong healthy
girls would have cost, to say nothing of
medicines, anxiety and the wear and tear
of the spirit and frame. Farmer Wells,
with little more judicious Management,
might have bought his farm and kept his
wife and children; for however prettily
we may talk of the "little angels in heav-
en-" it is certain that the human race
was not destined to die off like sheep, in
the first and tenderest years of existence.
However, such cases may be held up as
profitable examples, to warn not farmers
wives alone, hut all women who drudge
and delye, destroying all hope of the
future In the wearing anxiety of the
present Farmer Wells ami his wife are
happy couple, and if you call upon
them you will see abundant prosperity;
and plenty of books and papers.

WELL TIMED.-While the rebel hordes
were swarming into Pennsylvania on the
18th, and were seizing horses, cattle,
boots, shoes, &c, and Indiana also inva-
ded by another band of rebels at the
same time, the great democratic Mass
Meeting" assembled at Springfield, Him
ois, and passed an out and out peace
resolution, condemning the wa-, and
calling for its instant stoppage.
Had the invasion been of Illinois instead
of Pennsylvania and Indiana, they would
doubtless have done the same thing Are
such men patriots I? Do such men mani
fest no sympathy with t1aitorsy no kind
ness for them no fellowship with them
Are they loyal and true, and to be trusted
Could they in any other way so unmista-
kably publish to the rebels of the South,
their friendship and their sympathy p
Could they in any other way SO effectually
invite them to invade the North
Let thinking, honest, true men consider
these things. Our own State invaded by
armed traitors, and ''Great Democratic
Mass Meeting" in a sister State, at the
same time passing resolution condemn
ing the war waged against them, aud
