It mw contains seven columns to a page, each column consider ably longer than before. It is one of the largest papers outside the cities, and, see iag that Messrs. Swank and Elder are its editors, we are confident it will be one of the best Success to it!.. .A man named Samuel Shaw, of Juniata township, Blair county, a deserter from the United States', army, was shot and killed at his residence on the 11th by a detachment of the pro vost guard who were attempting to arrest Mm. In a disturbance thai ensued, a cit izen was slightly wounded by the guard. ...At no time within the recollection of tie "oldest inhabitant" have chestnuts been plentier in this section than the present fall. The trees absolutely groan with their luscious burden, and the ground underneath is covered therewith. People tn rather them with great market U UUt baskets, with three-bushel bags, and some times with horses and wagons. From appearances, we would say that Cambria county would be fully able to eupply the demand of the rest of the State for the luxury. They sell at 2.00 per bushel. ...We are glad to see it announcod in the daily papers that Capt David Fox, of Co. A, 55th P. V., has escaped from Charles ton prison.... Corp. Ed. Rodgers, of Co.

Dear Alleghanian: I don't see knives men tioned in your "benefit" bill, but thinking that perhaps one of Wostenholm's best would prove not altogether unacceptable, take occa sion to "celebrate the anniversary of the 'bornatlon' of The Alleghanian," the sixth, by making the tender of one, and send it with the hope that The All eg. may continue to live -on past a thousand years and still live on I Thank you ! thank you ! We were just out of a knife when this was received, and didn't exactly know where and how to get another. Which renders the gift doubly valuable. The failure to mention pocket cutlery in the catalogue of things by us receivable as a "benefit" was a clear oversight on our part, and does not pre vent us from being glad at the omission being thus practically brought to our no tice. We would here say, that any of our "numerous friends" desiring to press a souvenir or gift upon oureonsidcratioa are not obliged to confino themselves to the list of articles enumerated by us. On the contrary, they are at liberty and are hereby requested to patronize a list of their own, and make their own selection?. Again, thank you, kind friend I thank jou for both the knife and the good wishes. You are one of nature's own noblemen, snd we are yours, truly. A Squad of Cambria County Men Captured.

Johnstown, October 17, 1864. The election passed off remarkably qui etly here. The vote falls short of that polled at the Governor's election. In the 5th ward and Millville boro. there is an opposition gain, while in Conemaugh and Cambria boros. they fall behind consid erably. Barker leads his ticket in four wards Johnstown and in the first ward Conemaugh. The largest vote polled is for Engelbach. On Monday night last, a squad of the cavalry stationed here proceeded to Rich land township to arrest deserters. A fam ily named Fox, two of whom had been drafted and failed to report, attempted to resist the squad, and at least one shot wa3 fired from their house at the soldiers. Th e fire was returned, and John Fox, who is thought to be the one who first shot, was struck in the back by a bullet, which penetrated the lung, inflicting a mortal wound. The father and two sons, a man named Baumgardner, who has been draf ted three times, a man named Kroft, and another named Horner were all subse quently arrested and brought to the mili tary camp in this place. Horner was subsequently released, as it was found he had never been notified of the fact that he had been drafted. The others were sent to Provost Marshal headquarters on Wednesday. The wound of John Fox, who was not removed from home, must prove fatal. Mr. John Ryan, a worthy citizen of Cambria boro., was also arrested on Mon day, but upon producing proof that he had reported vand had been exempted, he was promptly released. A number of Capt. Bon acker's compa ny, 54th P. V., arrived home here last week, their term of service having ex pired. These boys have seen some pretty active service latterly. They are all loud in praise of their gallant Colonel, John P. Linton, who is expected home the present week. By a letter from City Point, Va., I learn that the 21st Pa. Cav. aro now in camp near that place, and that they will be remounted as soon as they can be sup plied with horses. This regiment has been through several severe actions in front of Petersburg, and mourns the loss of many of it? members, among whom are some brave Johnstown boys. Standing at the depot one day last week, I was agreeably surprised to see Mr. George D. Berlin, agent to recruit negroes in the revolted States, step off the train. It was currently reported and generally believed a lew weeks- ago that the guerillas in Georgia had gobbled him up, and, in accordance with their usual custom, had strung him up to the nearest tree. But it appears the story was a ca nard, and I am glad of it. Home-made Tar. It may not be known to some of our readers at a distance, nor even to many at home, that a good quality of tar is manufactured in the mountains of Cambria, Somerset and ad joining counties out of the knots of the pitch pine. Such is the fact. The man ufacture of this substitute for North Car olina tar is carried on quite extensively, and has already considerably depreciated the price of the latter article. "We believe itjmswers nearly all the purposes of the original. . So says the Johnttotcn Tribune. Over ! The election is now over, and we feel safe in saying that fully one-half the candidates are also over the left ! Summer is over, and the season of balmy zephyrs. ' The rebellion is the next thing to over. Speaking of the rebellion re minds us that incontrovertible testimony proves that the rebels are illy clad. . If they only lived here, they might easily remedy this misfortune by going to J. M. Thompson's cheap store, Ebensburg, and buying themselves each a suit of winter clothing. October. It is October. In the ripened field A goodly harvest waits the farmer's hand ; . In gen'rous showers the stately orchards yield Their mellow fruits, and over all the land A bounteous Providence has scattered good. O, richest month of all the changing year ! Thou comest not with penitential tear, But steps of ling'ring flame and hand of blood. Thy breath has touched the woods, and day by day The grand old trees take fire, and burn away ; In showers, like sifted gold, their yellow leaves Fall on the reapers as they bind the sheaves ; But thy soft gales cold wintry winds betray, And in thy glory something breathes decay. Frank K. Hettinger, of this county, now a soldier for the Union and stationed at Camp Cur tin, called to see us last week. He was looking well as usual Coojish; the weather, Utterly. FROM OUR SOLDIERS. LETTER FROM CO. 0, 209TH P. V. PLEASANT WEATHEH WHAT THEY ABE DOING) A MAIL AT LAST ALL WELI PANT. -MUSTER BOLL OF COM- Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Bermuda Hundred, Oct. 10. One-third of October is gone, the time of the "sere and yellow leaf is here, and yet the sun sends his rays with a heat that is far from comfortable to those who have be'en fanned the summer long by the cool breezes of the Alleghanies. .While with you the Frost King has begun to nip, and earth is disrobing herself of her green, with us the flics still gather in swarms, the grasshopper jumps from be neath the foot at every step, and the mus-. keto bites with a frequency and a keenness that are far from comfortable. Nature would still triumph in her summer glory had not the necessity of war disrobed the earth of her beauty, and left the beautiful places desolated. Our object here, is to hold a portion of the line of fortifications extending from the James on the right to the Appomattox on the left. Our principal duty is that of picketing. On, the picket line is no fi ring, though the posts are within easy hailing distance. ' On Wednesday, the 3d instant, we re ceived the first mail had since our depar ture from Harrisburg.
