Twenty-three years ago, on Septem-
Der 1st, 1862, three hundred men left
Bridgeton to enter the United States
Army as Nine Months men. They
were organized in three companies,
and were commanded respectively by
Captains Henry Neff, Jas. r. Hoag-
land and Joel Fithian. These COM
panies were raised within two or three
days, a shorter period for the same
number of men than had ever been
known in the country outside of what
one town in Massachusetts had done.
The day of their departure was great
event in the history of Bridgeton.
Crowds of people followed the soldiers
to the West Jersey Railroad depot to
see them off. The men were taken to
Beverly where they were mustered in
as part of the Gath Regiment, New
Jersey Volunteers, Colonel VIM. B..
Robertson. The Regiment went to
the seat of war and bravely partici-
pated in the battles of Fredericksburg
and Charlottesville.

Candidates For Post Master.

The campaign for the Post Master
ship of Bridgeton has opened in dead
earnest. Our Democratic brethren
are determined to have a change if
possible, and to that end several of the
''unterritied" have announced them
selves as candidates to succeed Post
Master Trenchard. The two princi-
pal competitors for the place are
Joshua Bates, merchant tailor, on
Commerce street, and S. Albert Laning.
Deputy Warden New Jersey State Pris-
on. Mr.. Bates has a list of petitioners
consisting of nearly all the leaders and
Democratic business men. tits said that
he has Senator John r. McPherson's
influence, while Mr.. Laning believes
that Governor Albeit and other
celebrities in the party will pull him
through. The salary of the Bridgeton
Post Master is $4,000 per annum.
This is a nice plum which the hungry
and thirsty" Democrats have a great
longing for, but who the lucky man is
to be cannot as yet be told.

Another Steamer.

The steamer champion" has been
placed on the route between this city
and Philadelphia, to take the place of
the "Juniata" now in the hands of the
Sheriff. The champion" is one of the
finest side wheel steamers on the Della
ware river having complete facilities for
the quick transportation of passengers
and freight. She will leave Bridgeton
Mondays and Thursdays at 2 o'clock
p. IN. Returning, leave Pier 12, North
Wharves, Tuesdays and Fridays at 1
p. IN. The boat will stop at the land
ings on the Cohansey, and Port Penn
on the Delaware. Henry S. Ogden,
the popular steamboat man, will take
his old place as Clerk and Manager.
Under his administration the Cham
pion" will prove a success, as all other
steamboat lines on the Cohansey have
when Henry was a fixture. The peo-
pie know that Henry S. Ogden is an
honest man, reliable, and pleasant to
everybody. Such man they can and
do trust.
