Government BOunties.

1t will be seen from the following arti-
Gle from the Pittsburgh Gazette, of the
2lst inst, and from the Circular issued
by the Board of Enrolment, 23d Dis
trict, that the Government bounties of
$500 and s400 will cease after the first Of
April, as fixed by act of Congress, unless
the same should be extended by future
legislation
By some unfortunate blunder of the
telegraph, the President was made to say
in his late call for 10000 men, that the
time for the payment of Governn15nt boun-
ties of $500 and S400 was extended to
the fifteenth of April; whereas,by the of
fetal copies received by the Enrolment
Boards, it appears that those additional
bounties cease after the first of April, as
fixed by Congress. This gives but about
ten days to those who wish to fiji! their
quotas'with volunteers, instead of twenty
five Probably Congress might be indu-
eed to extend the time to the date fixed
NOT by the President-for really he has
no authority to change the time-but by
the telegraph operator. The spirit of vol
unteering and paying local bounties is good
yet; but the time is too short.
Government Bounties to Cease Apra /.
BOARD OF ENROLMENT, 23D DISTRICT.
March 10, 1864.
In The copy of the Presidents last call
for two hundred thousand men, as trans
mitted by telegraph and published in all
the papers of this region, it was stated that
the Government bounties, as now paid, will
continue until Apri! fifteenth 1861 where
as, by the official copy just received at this
office, the closing paragraph is in these
words
"The Government bountes, as now
paid continue until April 1st, (frst) 1864,
at which time additional bounties cease.
On and after that date, one hundred dol
lars only will be paid, as provided by the
act approved July 22d, 1861

Fatal Accident at Freedom.

The following account of most dis
tressing and fatal accident, is taken from
the Pittsburgh Gazette, of the 14th and
18th inst This account states that Ed
ward Haigh, and deck hand whose name
was unknown, were instantly killed; while
a third named Johnny Mackey, was bad
" injured We have been informed by
VIM. R. Patterson, who is relative of
the unknown man" that his name is
Mathew Patterson, and son of George
Patterson of Forward township, Butler
county. The body of the deceased has
been recovered by his relatives. This is
the second son of this family that has
lost his life on the river. The deceased
has brotherin Co. H. of the 18th Regt.
Pa. Vol.
On Saturday evening last, most dis
tressing accident occurred on board the
tow-boad Panther, at Freedom, resulting
in the death of two men, and the serious
injury of third. The Panther had
fleet of coal barges in tow, for Cincinnati,
and in attempting to land, opposite Free
dom, it was ascertained that the after check
post of one of the barges was insufficient
The line was placed around this check
post, with one turn, and then carried over
to another check post or timber-head.
The strain was so great that the timber.
head gave way and the line Strengthened
so suddenly that Edward Haigh, Jahnny
Mackey, and deck hand whose name we
have been unable to learn, were struck.
Haigh and the deck hand were instantly
killed and thrown into the river. Mackey
was badly crushed about the breast, and
it is doubtful whether he will recover.
Edward Haigh was the only son of
Joseph Haigh, Esq, of the old firm of
Haigh, Hartupce q Co., and was about
eighteen years ofage. He was well known
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1864-03-23

in this city, and was highly esteemed
His father is greatly distressed in conse-
quence of his untimely death. The tow
boat Hornet was started down on Sunday
morning, to bring up Mr. Mackey, and
assist in seaG9Aing for the bodies of young
Haigh and tBedeck hand.
Johnny Mackey is well known to many
of our citizens, having kept the "Sports-
mans Hall" in this city for some time
past, which was headquarters for hesport-
ing fraternity. of the two cities and vicin-
ity. He was removing to CinciA hav-
ing sent his family by railroad. He was
brought up to the city during the day, and
at last accounts was lying in very pre-
carious condition.
We have already given an account of
the accident on the coal tug Panther,
which resulted in the killing of young
Haigh, and man belonging to Mercer
county, and the serious injury of Johnny
Mackey, the champion of the light
weights" We learn to-day that Mackey
was not so dangerously injured as at first
reported, and that with proper treatment
ne VIII recover. lie was StanulnH close
to the line, when the tim erhead started,
and was carried with it Gas it were) in
stead of being struck, as the other men
were. This accounts for the fact that he
was not instantly killed. He was thrown
from the barge, across the bow of the Pan
ther, distance of twenty-five feet, and 50
rapid was his flight that the fireman, who
stood close by, did not notice him until he
fell upon the deck. He was struck, by
the line, near the knees, and the skin was
torn from the bones, but the bones were
not broken: His face was considerably
cut and bruised, and his left arm, from the
elbow to the shoulder blade, was severely
injured. A watch, which he had in his
pocket, was literally turned inside out
the works could not be found, and the case
only remained.
The body of Young Haigh, we under
stand has not yet been recovered, although
diligent search has been made for it.

MEssRs EDIToRs Thinking you
would probably like to hear how this gal
liant old Regiment is progressing, will
just drop you few lines informing you
where and how we are. At present we
are cncamped upon the ground where the
gallant army corps fought the battle of
Bristow Station, under the command Of
Maj. General Warren. We have very
pleasant camp. our shanties, Gas we e]
them) are'very comfortable indeed; they
are built of logs about six fee; high, and
covered with shelter tents we have good
fire places and chimneys, and we cannot
complain for the want of wood, as we have,
been well supplied with it this winter
But during that cold freezing weather,
we were rather scarce of water-but since
the weather has become more moderate
and kind Providence has blessed us with
rain, we have water in abundance
Uncle Sam has supplied us with plenty
of the very best of rations ever since we
have been encamped here, we have not
known what it is to eat hard tac< this
winter-having always been supplied
with soft bread, fresh from the Alexan-
dria Bakery, and very often it come to
the Division Commissary warm And if we
are only allowed the privilege of guarding
this Railroad until the divisions term of
service expires, we might then can our
selves some of the chosen few; but there
is such variety of opinion as to when
our term of service expires 4; some think
in the month of May, others contend that
we will be held until June, but | think
that this Regiment will not be mustered
out of service until ther29th of July,
which will make it three years from the
date of muster into L. S service, but
enough of this for the present.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 49,
Partial election returns from eleven
couuties give more votes than the
whole number required by the Presi1
dents Proclamation, to replace Arr
kansas into the Union. Other coun-.
ties to be heard from day today, three
in number, will give FIVE thousand
more votes.
The new State Constitution, framed
by the late Convention is almost unan--
imously ratified, there being so far
only one hundred and tbirty-seven'
votes against it. Arkansas is thus
declared a free State in the Union,
by voluntary action of its own citi-
zens.
Gov. Isaac Murphy, and the whole
State ticket it elected.
Guerilla bands made violent threats,
Notwithstanding which citizens were
enthusiastic in their determination to
vote the State back into the Union,
many going to the polls at the immi-
nent risk of their lives to protect vo-
ters.
