CORRECT THE ENRoLLMENrLWe beg

CORRECT THE I'VE beg
to impress upon the minds of our readers
the importance of correcting the enroll.
ment list. This list is the basis by which
the apportionment of district is arrived
at. Take Ebensburg for example: She
has say 100 enrolled names on her list,
twenty-five per cent. of which, probably,
would be stricken off on application to the
Provost Marshal. If her apportionment
under draft should happen to be one in
| four, with the enrolment uncorrected her
| quota would be 25-with the enrolment
corrected it would be only Is. These Is,
to be sure, would be drawn out of di-
minished whole, thus causing the correc-
ting the list to assume the dimensions Of
simple problem in proportion, but, then;
with the enrolment uncorrected, twenty
five per cent. of all the names drawn stand
reasonable chance of being exempted,
leaving the quota of 25 in reality to be
furnished from list which in justice
should only be called upon to furnish Is.
These are facts which should commend
themselves to the serious consideration of
all those "between the ages Of twenty and
forty-fve." If they allow the quotas of
their respective districts under any COM
ing draft to be IN EXCESS of what they
should be, it will be their own fault. In
this connection, we refer our readers to
the advertisement in another column of
Pro. Mar, Lloyd relative to the correction
of the enrolment
The ALLEGED FRAUDS ON THE 55TH
2. V.-Our readers will remember that in
March last, in the State Senate, a commit
tee of investigation made report charging
Col. Richard White, Of the 55th P. ",
and Capt. David Fox, of Go. A, same reg
iment, (both officers from Cambria coun-
ty,) with conduct prejudicial to the SER
vice, in that they delrauded re-enlisting
members of their regiment and new vol
unteers out Of bounty money to the
amount of nearly SIT ,0eO, and recommen-
ding court of inquiry by the Secretary
OF War to investigate the charges preferred.
Pursuant to this recommendation, court
martial convened in Carlisle couple of
weeks ago, when and where the conduct
of the Col. and Capt was exposed to Off
cial scrutiny. The result was that Col.
White was honora5ly acquitted Of the
charge laid at his door. TIE finding of
the court martial in the case of Capt Fox
has not as yet transpired.
DIED: AT his residence, Ebensburg,
on "Wednesday morning, 14th inst, Mr..
WILLIAM L. SLOAN, aged about 3S years.
The deceased was most estimable citizen.
and universally loved and respected. If
ever there was a sincere Christian, he was
one. His friends and relatives may sor-
row at bis untimely taking away, but their
grief cannot but be tempered by the sweet
knowledge that for him this dark, tenn
pestuous world of troubles has been ex-
changed for bright and glowing one,
where white-robed angels swcetly sing,
and JOY and happiness reign supreme.
"OFFICIAL."-The Dem. d; Sent (not
very good authority states that the army
vote cast by Cambria county soldiers at
Hancock station, Virginia, for Lincoln, 21
votes, was counted twice by our Return
Judges. Rectifying this error, the correct
majority tor Mcclellan in the county
would be s13, (not 913, as the Dem d;
Sent. has IT'D instead of 1872.
In town several days last week-Capt
w. B. Lowman, of Johnstown, Squire
John Porter, of Hemlock, and Messrs p
l.. Linton and Robt. E. Lucas, of Pitts
burg-all good fellows.
No PAPER.-In order to afford us op-
portuuity to make some needed improve
ments touching the appearance of The
AUeyhonian, DO paper will be issued from
this Office for two weeks to come.
