Mr., MooKg, DEAR SIR II write to you
to-day to request you TO publish the ioi,
lowing names. They are all Clesrheld
county men. DRAFTED and substitutes
They all belong TO the different company :
Of this regiment. 1t may be benefit to
some one at some time to know where
those persons are, for instance, in case OF
an election, &c. Tho following are the
names: Lewis Erhard, Joseph Rowles,
Andrew Rowlos, Bigler Dunlap, II. r

Thomas Divinoy, Ellis Burns. L. J. Bar
ger, Abraham Goss, Smith Howard, Sha-
non Witherite. There are q few moro
whose names ! cannot Just now think OF.
Those pen are in good health, with the
exception of Andrew Rowles, who was
wounded while standing picket few
nights ago. His wound is rather n severe
one, but he is getting along as we'll as can
be expected,
The Davis boys send their respects 20
us daily. They kill or wound some one
in tho regiment every day The sharp
shooters have perfect view of us. 1t is
they that do the mischief. We lay about
two mile to the right of Fort Hell, the
fort was constructed under commael OF
Col. John Irwin of the ll9th Bucktails.
1t is a splendid fort, and gives credit TO
the gallant Colonel Our lines here are
strong aud so are those Of the rebels, and
il ever there is charge made by either
party there will few be left to tell the re-
suit. Last night there was considerable
musllet firing going on the left, but have
not learned what it meant. The roads
are getting good, and no doubt the army
will soon be on a move. suppose the
draft has been made for the 10Th district,
and we may soon look for some Of our
Clea, field boys to join Us, Good luck o
them. Those that came with us, wEo
were great war men whilo at home, have
become somewhat reconcied, and at pres

Arbitrary Arrests.

The following proceedings took place
in our State Senate on the 22d inst. 1t
is doubtful whether anything will come
oft 1t will likely sleep the sleep that
knows no waking in the Committee on
the militia. Still we feel like thanking
that hardened old sinner Mr.. LowREY-
for hi7 condemnation Of the act. He
thinks the authorities at Washington are
not to blame. In this We differ with him.
lfitts done at all it is done by their au
thority, and hence they are responsible
and especially are they 10 blame fol
permitting such outrages 10 be committed
in their name, Mr.. LowREY evidently
referred to the case Of Maj WILueLM OF
this county, as the victim Of this cruel
tyranny:
Mr. WALLACE offered resolution
instructing the Judiciary Committee
to inquire and report at the next ses-
sion what civilians not amenable to
military law are now or have been
confined under military jurisdiction,
and giving power to send for persons
and papers.
Mr.. LOWRY said he had visited a
house near the river bank in this city
and found there twenty-sevon men
confined who were neither deserters
or drafted men. The authorities at
Washington were not to blame, and
he went there and appealed and they
were discharged. There were com
plants from various parts of the State
and he knew of one case, that of an
old man whose son and son-in-laN
were in military service, and yet he
was tried and convicted by a military
court martial, when he (Mr. LOWRY
did not consider him in the slightest
disloyal

EDIToR REPUBLICAN,

EDlToR REPUBnCAN,
Dear Sir There has
been so much boasting about Gulich town
ship being "out of the draft" that think
it is but just that the people Of Clearfield
should know hOIo ws do il. AS you are
aware, LITTLE GUuCH--as tho Pubs de-
light to call her--LUle Gulich-lWe in
more than one sense--Litlle Gulich, say
is exceedingly patriotic, and her School
Board pre-eminently 50. Well, tho ma
jorty OF this Board, having more fear of
the rebels than of wrong doing have, in
direct violation of three or four provisions
OF the statute, taxed US until there is
scarcely one of US that has property
enough to pay our assessment. In De-
cemUer, 1863, We elected two School Di-
recors who we're pledged to vote NO TAX
for bounty purposes. In the following
August they went to Waterford TO have
their names stricken off the enrolment
list on account Of disability; but tho Sur
geon could not see the disability, and they
came home advocating a rigorous Ur0se,p.
/ ton Of the tcar-by taxation. For 1854 the
Commissioners laid a tax for county pur
/ poses Of per cent. But Noiwithstand

From the Hartford, (Ct) Times, March o.
In the town ofWindsor,. on Mr.. JAS.
Harvy's land, five miles from Hartford
is y spring, on the waters Of which.
when pondcd, rises q coating of tallow,
about three cighths ofan inch in thick
ness. 1t resembles and will burn like
beef or mutton tallow. Near by this
spring, on Mr.. Halsey's land, Jumps
Of clear tallow have been dug. We
have q small specimen oft in our office.
1t has long been known that sea wax
or tallow, as we'll as oil, is found i'm
beddcd in the earth.
From the Encyc'opGdiaof Commerce
we copy the following brief account
ofthe same product
"Maltha, or Sea-Wax, is q solid
whitish substance, not unlike tallow
1t molts when heated, and in cooling
assumes the consistenco of white Ger
etc. This is most probably the btu
man candidum of Pliny. (Hist Nat lit
80, 10. } 1t is not used as pitch; but
it affords q better light than potro.
leum, and omits less disagreeablc
smell. 1t is found on the surface o
the Baikal Lake in Siberia, at the foot
of tho mountains of Bucktiari in Per.
STA, and in some other places"

For the X cpublican ]

Mr.. Editor Il see by the papers that
Pat Curley claims that he attended the
great Peace meeting in your Town, on
the 18th of August last, and that he was
then ard there taught" by Bigler and
Wallace to resist the draft. Now Iwould
ask Patrick if he was not too drunk on that
occasion to attend the mec,mg? If lie de-
nies this, then want him to tell how
drunk, man must be before ho is too
drunk to be taught"
And again: If man is 50 drunk tha, his
friends are compelled to hide him in the
Arbitration room, whic the speeches arc be-
ing delivered, is it likely that the said
speeches Taught" him TO resist the draft.
The fact is well known tina, there was
but single disturbance Of the peace on
that day, and that occurred in the evening
after the meeting adjourned, which was
the result of bad whiskey, and Patrick is
said to have been in it up to his eyes,
and the whiskey in Patrick.
