Arrival Of the Twelfth lnfhntry.

After weary journey Of five days on
the cars, the Twelfth Iowa Infantry reach
ed our city last night. Owing to the cold
Less of the weather, the men had suffered
exceedingly, and on debarking from the
cars, at once FASTENED in search of hotels
and boarding houses. The Twelfth was
organized and mustered in at Dubuque,
under the command of Colonel J. J. Wood,
in October 1861, and distinguished itself at
Fort Donelson, the siege Of Corinth, battle
Of Corinth, both battles of Jackson, siege
Of Vicksburg, Brandon, Tupelo White
River, Nashville, Brentwood, siege of Span
ish Fort, and innunerable skirmishes. At
the battle Of Shiloh, the principal portion
Of the regiment was captured. The re-
mainder Was then merged in the well
known Union Brigade. 1t wSs afterwards
recruited however, and filed up to the Us
ual number. In December 1868, the regi-
ment re- enlisted as veterans. Since it's
organization, its rolls show the names of
l,477 men. OF these but little over 400
remain.
While in the service, the Twelfth mar.
ched $3.50 miles, travelled on railroad and
steamboat over 1900 miles, and Was under
fire los days and 100 nights. 1t has been
stationed in Alabama since the conclusion
ofthe war. Few regiments ever presented

spersed with vocal and instrumsntal music.

and happy, we'll directed, and interesting
time, generally. By the way. these native
Pennsylvania folks are reliable in their an
nual gatherings. They have kept up the
custom from the start, in good, healthy
style, while several other kindred organize
tions have rather gone into deelins. For
this We are unconditionslly in favor Of
Pennsylvanians, and hope they will never
grow less in this community. but increase
pereeptably each succeeding year.
Az above stated, the party assembled last
evening in the Pennsylvania House recep-
ton rooms and paslors. John u Day. Esq,
the retiring President. opened the ceremo-
nies with speech highly appropriate to the
occasion. at the clsos Of which be intred1c-
ed John n. Crawford, Esq, the newly slee-
ted presiding Office. Mr.. Crawford ad-
dressed his fellow Pennsylvanians in his
usually interesting and impressive style, in
. speech which we regret our inability to
give in this issue.
The annual address BY Maj. Hamill, Vas
omitted on account Of serious indisposition.
which Was greatly regretted.
The next thing in order being supper,
:here was no disposition to dodge the issue.
The assemblage in the spacious dining hail
was large, and its demonstrations emphatic.
The repast by Messrs. Davis L Sons
vas served in manner that bid defiance to
competition, either in quantity or quality.
Every delicacy Of the market Was served in
. manner deserving special attention. as was
fully att.sted by the hearty demonstrations
thereupon made. Mine hosts have the right
to pride themselves upon their rare taste in
catering to the public, and Pennsylvanians
generally, in this region, know how TO
prove their unyiclding devotion to the good
things o! this life always to be found on the
Pennsylvania House tables.
Supper over, there was dancing to
Whites splendid music, which was kept
up till late in the night. There was also
rare vocal voluntaries by Professors Nc
Gosh and Little; and directly in point, was
there = stirring speech, in character, by
Jesse Teagarden. all Of which added greatly
to the spirit Of the occasion. Set music by
the Glee Club, also set off the ceremo
nies.
The occasion was perfectly hearty, free
and easy affair, at which all were handsome
~ and satisfactorily entertained. Long
live the Keystone Society.

A PRACTICAL TRAINING is said
that the young English princes are
taught, among their thousand other
accomplishments, thorough knowl-
edge of bookkeeping and commercial
affairs, and that during the whole
course of their education, they are
compelled to keep ali exact account of
all their receipts and expenditures,
and balance their books annually,
showing the balance sheet to their
royal mother If the counselors Of
one OF the greatest queens on earth
see fit to advise such a train ing for her
sons who are entitled by birth to
either thrones or principalities, how
much more important it is for parents
who have no fortunes to leave their
sons, TO pursue the same course. The
wise never refuse to give learning to
their children; tbs better than money.
In Dolbear Commercial College, the
science of commercial affairs is taught
in a thorough manner, and no parent
that can afford the small price charged,
should fail sending their sons.

A REBELS GRATITUDE TO HIS LoYAI.
NURSE E--Some time since a letter was
received at the State House in Boston,
addressed to several different names,
all similar in sound but different in the
spelling. The Surgeon General knew
at once that it could only be meant for
a certain lady who had been mostsde-
voted during the war as a nurse at the
front, where her exposure was great
and her labors untiring. He sent it to
her. On opening she found that it
was in a disguised hand and without
signature, Intentionally so, that the
writer might not be recognized, or the
enclosure-three or four hundred dol
lars-returned to her 1t was from a
rebel soldier, who said he was wound
ed, taken prisoner, and had limb am
putated IN a Federal hospital, where
he was attended by the lady to whom
the letter was addressed, as nearly as
ee could recall her name, having only
heard it spoken. He stated that he
was so affected by her kindness and
care that he determined If he ever got
well and returned home he would,
when the war was over, sell what little
property he had and forward the pro-
ceeds TO her as a proof Of his graft
tude, and he had taken this method to
carry out his noble resolution. The
recipient Of the letter remembers the
case, but has forgotten, il she ever
knew the patients name.-Exchange.

Vancouver's Island seems likely to
be the first of the British possessions
TO be annexed TO Uncle Sam. It is re-
ported as ripe for the charge.
The tone Of the English press indi-
Gates that the imperial government is
quite willing that all the American
colonies should cut loose from the
mother government, and provide for
themselves The Pail Mall Gazette
says that they cling too closely TO Great
Britain, and the London Times thus
foreshadows separation;
"In few months the Province to
which Quebec belongs will probably
be n member ofa great Confederation.
and we trust that in course Of time
that Confederation will take its place
among the Independent nations OF the
earth. In these altered political cir
acts Of mutual kindness
will be remembered, and constitute a
bond Of union between those who
have lived in harmony and parted in
peace"
