PENNHILIE. JANUARY sth, l s65.

Mr.. Row Sir: BY giving the follow
ing place in your columns, you viii confer a
favor on one of your subscribers
Our Soldiers and the Ladies.
On the morning of Wednesday the 4th
instant, number of sleds and sleighs were
seen vending their way from Pennville to
Curwensville, filled to ovcrtlowing with gen
tlemen and ladies', with happy hearts and
smiling faces, interspersed with sundry bas-
kets and boxes well stored with creature
comforts-such as would be priced by weary
and hungry soldiers. In good time the cav
alcade safely drew up at the Susquehanna
House After some preliminary arrange
ments, the ladies, 20 or 80 in number, form
ed in double line, headed by Abraham Spen-
Ger, accompanied by a goodly number of
gentlemen from Penn township and other
places, started for the soldiers rendezvous.
On arriving at the headquarters, they were
most cordially received by Capt. Kerr, and
other soldiers; and in the most kindly man
ners shown throughout their very cofnforta-
bic quarters, in the house lately occupied by
! VIM Irwin, Esq The ladies took great in
terest in examining, in every particular, the
| equipments, lodging apartments and cook
ing convenicnces-th gallant soldiers TAX
ing special pains to crafty every wish Of fe-
| male curiosity.
After being fully satisfied OF seeing and
being seen, the assembled visitors were IN
vited tos the spacious piazza in front OF
the mansion, while the soldiers were formed
in double line on the lawn, when all parties
were gratifed by listening to an Introductory
address from Hon. John Patton, in which
he informed Capt. x. and his brave COM
rades, that, although he was sorry to say
that there were many disloyal people in
| Clearfeld county, yet.he could youch for the
| loyalty of those present-many of whom
had fathers, sons, brothers and husbands
in the army OF their country; some of whom
have sealed their devotion to their country :
cause with their blood
After Mr.. Patton closed, Mr. John Rus
sell was introduced, and entertained the au-
dience by reading a very interesting address,
in which he heartily lamented the necessity
for the present display of military force in
our midst, but freely endorsed the wisdom
and necessity of the measure-trusting that
no relaxing of the present means should be
tolerated until every rebel and rebel sympa-
thizer, both north and south, shall hide his
| deformed and traitorous head.
When Mr. Russell closed, Capt. Kerr
called on the soldiers to give three cheers
for the ladies of Penn, which were given
with a will. After which the company sep
arated, mutually well pleased with the in
| terview A CITIZEN OF PENN.

CORRECT THE ENROLLMENT.-By refer
ence to our new advertising columns, the
reader will find notice of Capt Campbell,
informing the citizens of Clearfeld county
Of the meeting of the Enrolment Board in
Clarified Borough, on the Goth, 9th and
2Sth daysof January, 1865, for the purpose of
correcting the Enrolment Lists As much
dissatisfaction has existed heretofore in sew
eral of the sub-districts in this county, we
hope that an effort will be made to have
the proper corrections made, when the
Board assemblies in this place The sug-
gestion of Capt Campbell, that committees
be appointed to attend to this matter, is a
good one Then go to work at once. As
certain who is likely to be exempted on ac-
count of alienage, over age, under age, or
for physical disability and for previous service
IN the army, and those who have left the
dlstrcts-setting forth the facts in each in
dividual case, properly certified to for pre-
Sentation to the Board. The responsibility
Of having the lists corrected, now rests with
each man enrolled, and we trust that it will
be promptly attended to.

MORE DEsERTERs ARREsTED.-We learn

arrests now exceed one hundred and fifty.

CARELESS WRITNG.-We note from the
recent report of the Postmaster General, an
extraordinary amount of carelessness on the
part of the letter writing community.
Three million five hundred and eight thou
sand were received of dead letters during
the last year; many of which contained
money, deeds, checks, jewelry and other
yaluables. Some of them were misdirect-
ed, others not directed at all, others I'm
stamped and others only partially directed.
Thousands of these were returned to the
writer's but the great majority were destroy
ed. These facts should teach the public to
he more careful in their correspondence !;
for the amount of suspence. and suffering
occasioned by these lost letters is incalcula-
bic; and officials are censured where the
fault rests with the authors.
