I apologize to Lisa, I believe I thanked Mary in my last post for the FOX info but it looks like it was Lisa's work. Thank you Lisa. I mentioned that I have several FOX pictures. I inherited the FOX family album from my mother. I would like to post all of the pictures someplace so others can have them. Is there someplace I could upload them to that anybody could get them for free. I don't want to put them on a "for fee" site. This album combines pictures from both FUCHS/FOX branches in my family, Henry Fuchs- Carrolltown, PA and Casper Fuchs- Etna, PA. Any suggestions out there?

Thank you, Mary, for the list of Fox's that you put on the board. I haven't had a chance to get to Cambria to go to the cemetery, so this is a huge help. I am a descendant of Henry Fuchs/Fox and Catherine Fette/Albert, 2 of the people you mentioned. They are my maternal gr-grandparents. I wanted to point out my family amoungst those gravestone names. I don't know Aloysius Fox. I wonder if the 2 Fox families are related. I did see that someone, among the Ancestry.com family trees, listed Aloysius Fox as one of Henry's children. I do see in Ledoux on 4/29/1961 a birth of a "Fuchs,Franciscum Aloisum" son of "Xaverii/Crescentiae Gehringer". ( Don't you love those latin names? I think each priest just guessed at the latinized version of each name, because you seldom see 2 the same.) I suspect this is Aloysius. Alexander is actually Casper Alexander, youngest son of Henry Fuchs/Fox and Catherine Fette/Albert. I list Catherine's name that way because, although everyone in the family have always heard her last name was Fette (or some variation on that spelling) the marriage certificate of Henry and Catherine and the birth records of several of her children in LeDoux show her last name as being "Albert". (If anyone knows the answer to this quandary, I would appreciate their help.) Alexander (aka. Alex, & Elic) was married to Amelia Strittmatter (aka. Emma & Emery). Alexander was born Dec. 9, 1869(LeDoux), He was probably named after his godfather, Casper Fuchs(from Etna, PA not Johnstown,PA- that's a different Casper Fuchs), Henry's cousin and coincidently, my other maternal grgrandfather (it is believed Henry & Casper arrived together in 1847). I have several pictures of Alex & Emma and their children. One of the pictures has an inscription below stating: "Aunt Emery & Uncle Elic Fox & oldest girl & twins. all three died." The twins are probably Bertha and Alma in your list, I'm not sure about the oldest girl, but the Amelia T Fox is a good possibility. Poor Alex & Emma certainly lost a lot of children. I believe your comment below the headstone for FOX, Margaret (Fuchs), 13 May 1885, aged 72 years, 12 days (H-worn-FL27) is probably correct. I was wondering where her body was, I never thought to look under the name of Fox. I believe this is probably the Margaret Fat (Lab) listed in the 1870 & 1880 censuses with her living with Henry and Catherine. She is listed as "mother-in-law" in one, "old lady" in the other. FOX, Henry (Fuchs), 12 JUL 1900, aged 79 years, 3 months, 15 days, husband is my GrGrandfather FOX, Catharine (Fuchs), 10 Oct 1898 aged 72 years, 8 months, wife of Henry FUCHS is my GrGrandmother FOX, Henry W and his wife Margaret E Fox are also ours. Did the tombstone actually list Henry's parents' names ("son of Henry and Catherine (FAIT) (H--FL27/0)? or did you see the FAIT name in some other records (I'm still trying to sort out the Fette/Albert connection)? I'm sure some of the other names you listed are probably related to our family also, I'm just not sure which. Thank you again for listing all of those gravenames. I hope my information will help someone out there. If anyone wants more info, please contact me.

Crescentia Gehringer, dau of Aloysius Gehringer and Maria Schuster, was first married to Francis Xavier Fuchs/Fox on 2 Jan 1861 at St. Benedict's in Carrolltown. They had three children: Francis Aloysius b. 29 Apr 1861, Maria Victoria b. 3 Feb 1863, and Joseph Francis, b. 16 Jan 1865. These are the names that appear in their baptismal records. Their first son appears as Aloysius in census records, Joseph Francis is listed as Joseph A. in Crescentia's obit. I have not found a death record for Francis X. Fox, but apparently he died before 1866 and Crescentia married James Reffner on 15 Jan 1866. James had been previously married to Lydia Farrell, dau of James Farrell and Jane Henrietta Kirkpatrick, on 23 Jan 1855. James and Lydia had three sons: William A. b. 31 Dec. 1855, Thomas P. b. 5 Feb 1860 and Henry C. b. 17 May 1863. I have not found a death record for Lydia (Farrell) Reffner either, but she likely died between 1863 and 1865. I have not ever found any records related to Henry C. so it may be that Lydia and Henry both died at the time of his birth or shortly after. I've never been able to find James and Crescentia in the 1870 federal census, have you? from 1880 Census PA Cambria Co., Susquehanna Twp., Microfilm Roll T9-1110/T9-1111, page 446B, lines 1-11: REFFNER, James, age 47, farmer, PA, MD MD Thereszia [sic], age 37, wife, Keeping House, Wittemberg, Wittemberg, Wittemberg [sic spelling] Margaret A., age 13, dau John J., age 11, son Henry, age 9, son Peter, age 8, son Francis, age 6, son Agnes, age 5, dau Albert, age 3, son FOX, Aloysius, age 19, stepson, Laborer Mary, age 17, stepdaughter [mtm note: Joseph Fox was living in Carroll Twp. in the household of Samuel Weakland, age 75, wd., Farmer, and working as a farm laborer.] I found the Gehringers, Hefeles, and Schusters all on the same passenger list several months ago.

The passenger list is interesting in that Maria is listed as "Maria Schuster" in sequence with her brother Anthony and sister Magdalena and the two children Crescentia and Victoria "Geringer" while "Alois Geringer" is listed farther down the page.

To Lisa and Mary, Thank you for your help with the Fox history. I am from the Henry and Catherine Rett/Albert immigrants, m 4 July 1849 at St. Mary's Church, Hollidaysburg, PA I've come to the conclusion that the Peter Fox I'm looking for is not part of my direct family line, but he still looks likes us! LOL I really appreciate everything that came through on this web site, I am truly amazed at all the info that comes through and love reading it all. Some on list ask about cemeteries and where some of the Fox's were buried. I can tell you my grandparents, Francis and Mae (Buck) Fox, their son William (age 2 yrs at death in 1930), Charles and Doris (Kline) Fox, Edward, my dad and my mom Dolores (Kline) Fox, Frances (fox)Shura and Stan Shura are all buried in the family plot at the Holy Name graveyard on New Germany Rd, Ebensburg. My Grandfather purchased either 9 or 10 plots, church records are not clear, back in 1930 when William died, one for William, two for he and grandmom and he said the others would be for the first 3 children that pass away and their spouses. (That's why I think it's only 9 plots). Several of my aunts and uncles are also buried in the mousleum : Helen Fox (w/o Paul Bracken) and Paul, and Bernard Westrick, h/o Anna Marie (Sissy) Fox. Roslyn or Sr. Mary Urban is buried at Mt. Aloyisus, and John Fox and spouse, Dot are buried in Nevada. One tidbit I'd like to share: Apparantly when my greatgrandfather would visit overnight with my grandfather, his favorite breakfast was a bowl of oatmeal with a raw egg in the middle! I love hearing these stories. Thanks again everyone, Pam Jan 18, 2009 08:29:35 PM, [1]crwsggd@sonic.net wrote: The Edwin Fox listed below is likely the son of Joseph F. Fox and Ellen Stuby. Edwin was born 3 Mar 1899, but I discovered today that Alexander Fox also had a son named Edwin born 5 Sep 1899. Both were registered for the draft in 1918 and living in Cambria Co. Alexander's son was single and living at home in East Carroll Twp. in 1930. Joseph's son may be the Edwin Fox, age 31, who is listed at Dixmont Hospital in 1930. The Social Security death index includes "Eswin" Fox, b. 3 Mar 1899, d. 15 Mar 1967 in East Pittsburgh which would seem to indicate that he spent his whole life at Dixmont. The Mary A. Fox next to Edwin is his sister. She never married, but taught school in Barnesboro for 53 years. She was born 20 Feb 1887 and died 4 Sep 1972. Also, I think there is a typo below in the death date of Oscar F. Fox. He is enumerated with his wife and children in both 1920 and 1930. I have his death date as 1941, but that is unverified, although he is not listed as a surviving sibling in the obituary of his brother, George, who died in 1942.

Lisa, Thank you for posting the St. Benedict Fox information. I found some of my collaterals and also some mistakes. There are members of more than one Fox family buried at St. Benedict. Some of them are descendants of Francis Xavier Fuchs/Fox. Francis X. was born in Bavaria abt 1813. He married Crescentia Ruchte in 1854 at St. Benedict's. She died in Apr 1860. In the1860 federal census F. X. was living in Susquehanna Twp. with his daughter Anna, age 14 and also born in Bavaria. Unknown whether her mother died in Bavaria or Cambria Co. F. X. made his declaration of intent in Sep 1857 and was naturalized in Sep1859 . In 1860 Anna was also enumerated in the household of Aloysius Gehringer. In 1861 F. X. married Crescentia Gehringer, d/o Aloysius. They had three or four children: Francis Aloysius, b. 29 Apr 1861, married Mary Emma McCombie in 1887, died 1918; Maria Victoria, b. 3 Feb 1863 d. 15 Mar 1883; Joseph Francis, b. 16 Jan 1865, married Barbara Ellen Stuby 24 Apr 1886, married Gertrude (Breth) Luther abt 1903, married Stella McDermott aft. 1921, d. 1929; John Fox who may or may not exist. He is *not* mentioned in his mother's obit in 1924, but he is mentioned in the obit of his half-brother, Peter Martin Reffner, in 1929. John may be Joseph Fox. No records have been found for him other than the mention in Peter's obit. These are the Foxes of Foxburg near St. Benedict village along Hwy 219 between Carrolltown and Spangler.

Do we know more about Mr. William Gallaher, originally from White Township, Cambria, PA, and which Gallaher family he was from? =============================== The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, March 19, 1863 Volume 4, Number 25Mr. William Gallaher >From White Township: A correspondent writing from this township sends us the following items: Mr. William Gallaher, a resident of White and a member of Co. E, 84th Pa. Vols., died of typhoid fever near Falmouth, Va., Dec. 2. A letter from his Captain, Alexander Dobbins, represents the deceased as having been a good and true soldier, a faithful companion, and one of whom his friends have just reason to be proud. A letter written by the young man himself prior to his death gives us every reason to believe that he was a Christian and prepared for his fate. Physically, intellectually, morally and religiously, he was the highest type of a man.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, May 28, 1863 Volume 4, Number 35 NEWS Johnstown Items A number of business men of town are about making application for the privilege of establishing a bank under the provisions of the recent act of Congress. They propose starting with a capital of $60,000 which amount has been subscribed by responsible parties and expect to be in operation by the 1st of July. On Thursday, Peter Gaff, a lad of fifteen, was badly burned about the thighs and abdomen by coming in contact with a mass of red-hot iron. Mr. Johnston Irwin, an engineer in the rolling mill was severely injured on Saturday. He was engaged in cleaning an engine at the time, and was caught between the band and wheel, sustaining a dislocation of a shoulder and hip joint, a fractured collar bone and other injuries. He is expected to recover. Capt. Jas. Quinn and Lieut. James N. Rea, both of the 15th Pa. Cavalry, now in Tennessee, have resigned their commissions and returned home. Arrangements are being made to afford a fitting reception to the Johnstown nine months’ men upon the occasion of their return home from the wars. The number of scholars in attendance upon the Johnstown public schools is estimated at six hundred. To Richmond and Back Mr. Albion Severance of Co. F, 133d who fell out of the ranks during the march of his regiment from Falmouth to Chancellorsville on the 30th ult., and remained missing up to a late date has been heard from. It appears that, sick and unable to proceed further, he sank to the ground and became unconscious, when a party of Rebels happening that way picked him up and held him as a prisoner. He was shortly after sent to Richmond where he remained several days in confinement when he was exchanged and sent North. On arriving at Washington his term of service having expired, he was forthwith dispatched to Harrisburg where he joined his company and will probably return home in a day or two – not particularly the worse for his little pleasure trip. Gardner & Hemming’s Circus As will be seen by an advertisement in another column, this great and truly artistic troupe of ground and lofty tumblers intend affording the citizens of Ebensburg and vicinity an opportunity to “laugh and grow fat,” on Tuesday, 9th June, coming. This same company performed here last summer, giving general satisfaction, so it were unnecessary for us to say anything in their behalf. Go and see them – ye who have a spare quarter and are desirous of putting in an agreeable afternoon or evening.

Mob Law A company of returned volunteers last week entered the MONITOR office at Huntingdon and demolished the press, emptied the type into the street and otherwise pretty effectually “cleaned out” the establishment. They then went to work with brooms and swept the room, after which they closed the doors and shutters, finishing up the job by tying crepe to the front door. It appears that an article reflecting discreditably upon the company had been published in the MONITOR some time before, hence the riotous demonstration. Not Dead It gives us much pleasure to state that Lieut. Peter Kaylor of Co. F, 28th Penna. Vols., a brief obituary of whom we published last week is not dead as represented, but only wounded in the shoulder. He was left upon the field at Chancellorsville for dead when our forces retreated and fell into the hands of the Rebels – the next we hear of him he is exchanged and sent into our lines at Falmouth. We wish him a speedy convalescence and safe return to many anxious friends at home. Co. F, 133d A dispatch has been received here stating that our discharged soldiers will arrive home tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Let them be welcomed with open arms. Democratic County Convention The Democratic County Convention assembled here on Monday and after long and tedious incubation, hatched out the following ticket: For Assembly: C. L. Pershing, Johnstown Register and Recorder: James Griffin, Johnstown Treasurer: Isaac Wike, Wilmore Commissioner: Edward Glass, Ebensburg Auditor: Francis Tierney, Cambria Poor House Director: Geo. M’Cullough, Munster. The principal fight seemed to be for Register, some twenty ballots being had before an “understanding” could be arrived at and Mr. Griffin nominated. Brigadier General Crawford Brigadier General Crawford has been relieved by order of the War Department from the Military Commission and assigned to duty under Major General Heintzleman for the command of the division known as the Pennsylvania Reserves. General Seymour takes the place of General Crawford on the Commission. The assignment was made at the request of the Governor of Pennsylvania, in consideration of Gen. Crawford’s former efficient services and fine soldierly qualities. He was with General Anderson during the bombardment of Sumter, with General Banks in the Shenandoah Valley and Cedar Mountain and while commanding the First Division, after General Mansfield fell, was severely wounded at Antietam. Vicksburg Our advices from Grant’s army up till the 18th inst., are of the most gratifying character. The dispatches give a brief summary of Grant’s movements from the landing at Bayou Pierre on the 30th ult., Grand Gulf, occupying the bluffs between the mouth of Black river and Bayou Pierre had been hastily but strongly fortified by the enemy and after two attacks on the 28th and 30th of April, our gunboats and transports ran past the batteries, flanking the defense which could not have been carried in front. The enemy then abandoned his works and treated hastily in a southwesterly direction across the Bayou Pierre to Port Gibson. The Grand Gulf works were taken possession of by the navy together with thirteen guns of the largest caliber and a large quantity of ammunition. The army had been marching down the east bank of the river from Young’s Point above Vicksburg and on the 30th ult., landed at Bruin’s Ford on the Bayou Pierre, followed the Rebels under Bowen to Port Gibson where a battle was fought on the 1st of May and the rebels, 11,000 strong, totally routed with a loss of 1,500 men and five pieces of artillery. Our loss was 100 killed and 500 wounded. The next stand made by the enemy was at Raymond, a small village six miles south of Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad and connected with it by a branch road. Here the rebels were defeated on May the 12th with a loss of 800 and retreated hastily toward Vicksburg. On the 24th a detachment of Grant’s army entered Jackson after severe struggle, and at once cut off Vicksburg from further reinforcements. Johnston had already interposed a considerable force between Vicksburg and the capital but without avail, our forces entering the city after he had moved out. By this movement all the immense stores gathered in the city fell into our hands. Pemberton and Johnston had meantime concentrated their forces for a desperate effort to save the city and on the 16th inst., a sanguinary affair took place at Baker’s Creek and Edward’s Ferry. Grant had also collected his entire strength at this point and abandoned his communication with the river by way of Grand Gulf, having supplied his men with eight days’ ration. The enemy was again defeated and with a loss of 4,000 men and 29 pieces of artillery, hastily crossed the Big Black river about ten miles from Vicksburg. Here another engagement took place on the following day, May 17th, and again the entire rebel force under Pemberton was beaten, falling back behind the entrenchments of the city, with a loss of 2,000 men and 17 pieces of artillery. On the 18th the city was closely invested. During the two or three days ensuing, the right wing assaulted and captured the rifle pits between Haines’ Bluff and the city and forced its way to the river. We have reports of the capture of Haines’ Bluff on the 29th, thus opening the communications of our right wing with the gunboats on the Yazoo, a large number of prisoners and 57 pieces of artillery falling into our hands. Thus far everything promises well for the success of our arms. That the enemy has been driven back step by step to Vicksburg is confirmed by rebel reports. His losses have undoubtedly been heavy and we may feel assured that such victories have not been gained without cost by our troops. From the vague estimates of the dispatches, the captures of rebel artillery would reach 68 pieces of field artillery, while the fall of Haines’ Bluff places in our hands 57 siege guns, a total of over 120 pieces. The fall of Vicksburg seems certain and with its loss, Port Hudson becomes untenable. Admiral Farragut is closely investing this stronghold and its evacuation we trust will not be permitted without severe loss to the enemy. We know the place was bombarded on the 8th, 9th and 10th inst., and intimations given of more important movements against it being in progress. ----------------------------------------------------------------- MARRIAGES Marcle-Buck Married in Blairsville, 19th inst., by Rev. J. A. Stillinger, Mr. M. C. Marcle of Blairsville to Miss M. A. M. Buck of Cambria county. -------------------------------------------------------------- DEATHS Lieut. Evan Davis Lieut. Evan Davis of Co. D, 115th Penna. Vols., who was severely wounded it the battle of Chancellorsville, we regret to say, is dead. He breathed his last in hospital near Falmouth, the beginning of last week. Lieut. D. had been in service during the Rebellion about nine months. He went out as Second Sergeant in his company but so highly were his sterling qualities as a soldier appreciated that upon the first vacancy occurring he was promoted to a commissioned office. He met his death wound while bravely rallying his men to the charge. Military life had been nothing new to Lieut. D. Prior to the Rebellion he had served his country for the term of fifteen years – ten years as a private in the regular army and five years as a marine in the naval service – always with honor to himself and credit to his native county. He was greatly beloved by his companions in arms and esteemed and respected at home. After a chequered career of 33 years, his life has been cheerfully laid down for his country and he gone to that distant home where wars and rumors of war affright the weary soul no more forever. The deceased leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss while a mother, brothers and sisters refuse to be comforted because he is not. “To the Hero, when his sword Has fought the battle for the free, Death’s voice sounds like a prophet’s word, And in its hollow tombs are heard The thanks of millions yet to be.” George Berkeybile Mr. George Berkeybile, an aged and respected citizen of Richland township, died suddenly on the 6th inst., of palsy. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.

The 133d Penna. Vols., in the Recent Battles Camp near Falmouth, Va. May 9, 1863 Doubtless you have been waiting on the tiptoe of expectation for something to “turn up” in this quarter. The mysterious “givings out,” in homeopathic doses of information by the daily press – the nods and winks and hearty congratulations of citizens at home that at last the Army of the Potomac was about to move – all conspire to attract public attention to this army. Within ten days’ time, from the 27th April to May 6th, the army has marched sixty miles, fought and won hard battles, and retreated in good order to their old position where are now ensconced, eating their rations calmly as possible. The 5th, 11th and 12th corps struck tents on the morning of the 27th April. The 5th corps started at 12 o’clock. The line of march was up the Rappahannock. Our regiment marched ten miles the first afternoon and encamped for the night. Next morning, the 28th, we were aroused before daylight and ordered to cook our breakfast so as to be ready to march at eight o’clock. While we were devouring our hard tack and fat pork, in obedience to this order, Gen. Hooker rode past and was heartily cheered. We did not get started, notwithstanding our preparations, until eleven o’clock. Today we marched eighteen miles in the direction of Kelly’s Ford. It was hard marching; raining all day, more or less, and the mud ankle deep. On this day’s march, Lieut. Col. M’Cartney, who had been commanding our regiment for several weeks past, ordered us to halt and rest for a few moments without permission from the Brigade commander, for which he was placed under arrest and Col. Speakman ordered to take the command. We encamped for the night in a dark thick woods. On the 29th, we were up early but did not march over two miles during the day. The reason for this was that we were then one mile distant from Kelly’s Ford and our brigade was the rear guard of the three corps. There was but one pontoon bridge to cross on, consequently it took the troops a long time to march four abreast over the river. At dusk we crossed. The pontoons were made of canvas which was inflated – a new invention lately brought from Washington. This night we received orders that we would be obliged to march all night. The boys were up and ready at all hours but for some unexplained reason we did not move until the day had begun to dawn on the morning of the 30th. This day we marched fifteen miles before three o’clock on a rough road. On this march Albion Severance, of our company (F) fell out of ranks, he being sick at the time. He has not been heard of since. We halted in sight of the Rapidan for a few hours when we again received orders to march. There were no pontoons for us to cross on, so we were compelled to wade it. The water was arm-pit deep to a soldier five feet six inches high. The river was about one hundred yards wide and very swift. We marched two miles further and encamped for the night. On the morning of May 1st we resumed the march at daylight. Marched about three miles and halted. Here we came up with the main body of the army and here we were reinforced by the 1st, 2d and 3d corps who had crossed at United States Ford, two miles distant. The first shot was fired at ten o’clock this morning. At one o’clock we started forward and proceeded some two miles. We passed a deserted rebel camp by the way; they have the same kind of tents we have. Our Generals discovering that the Rebels were outflanking us, we were immediately about-faced and sent back on a double-quick to the point where we had last started from. No sooner had we halted than the enemy charged on Syke’s division of Regulars, but was nobly repulsed. Again we were ordered into line and went off at double-quick towards United States Ford. Col. Allabach complimented the brigade on the rapidity of this march, we making four miles in forty minutes. We reached the heights near the ford just in the nick of time. The Rebels were in sight when we arrived but retired on our approach. We slept on our arms during the night. We were engaged all Saturday morning, May 2d, in throwing up breastworks. Firing heard occasionally on our right. The balance of the day we laid behind our stacks, sleeping on our arms at night in the entrenchments. Almost eleven o’clock in the night the enemy charged upon our centre, held by the 11th corps, taking them by surprise. The whole corps broke and run and had it not been for the timely arrival of the 3d corps on the ground, the enemy would have succeeded in breaking through our lines. No advance was made by our troops during the night but great preparations were made for bloody work on the morrow. The morrow, May 3d, came and was ushered in by the booming of artillery and rattle of musketry. We received orders to proceed immediately toward the scene of strife and carnage. Started on a double-quick, every man throwing away his knapsack so as to be enabled to keep up with his regiment. While on the road to the field, the shells flew in all directions, frequently cutting huge limbs from the trees, one of which fell on the cap of your correspondent’s left knee, disabling him to such an extent as to prevent his accompanying the regiment into the fight. The 133d was not in a general engagement but they were under fire from seven in the morning till two in the afternoon. Shells, grape and canister flew thick and fast around them, yet, strange to say, not a man in Co. F was even wounded. The regiment however, lost one killed, Adjt. E. Charles Bendere, seven wounded and four missing. That night Co. F was detailed to throw up breastworks and worked till three in the morning. Fifteen of our number threw up a trench four feet wide, three feet deep and twenty-five feet long, together with a breastwork for a cannon, five feet high, six feet thick and ten feet long; after completing which, the company returned to the regiment. Monday, May 4th, we were up at daylight but with the exception of keeping the men ready for any emergency, nothing was done during the day. That night, eight days’ rations were issued to the men. Tuesday, May 5, the troops lying quietly on their arms. There was no firing, excepting an occasional shot between the pickets. The moving of our wounded, provisions and ammunition across the river gave every indication that the army was about to retreat. All the pioneers in the army were detailed to throw up a second line of breastworks from the Rapidan to the Rappahannock, so as to give protection to the rear-guard while on the retreat. As soon as darkness covered the earth, all the artillery started across the river. At three on Wednesday morning, May 6th, the infantry took the line of march, the 2d corps leading the way; while the 5th corps was the last to cross, Griffin’s division bringing up the rear. There were two pontoon bridges to cross on. All the troops got safely over but not without being shelled by the rebels from a distant hill, the shots falling short. When all had crossed, we stared for our old camp, fifteen miles distant. It had rained incessantly the night before and the roads were almost impassable; so we flattered ourselves that, under the circumstances, we had made pretty good time when we succeeded in reaching our destination after a seven hours tramp. In camp we have been ever since. As to what constitutes the cause for this retrograde movement of course we are not informed. But it is a fact conceded by both soldiers and citizens that it could not have been a want of men. The army in the field is large enough to crush the rebellion, crush, it almost, at a blow. That this will be done ultimately I have not the slightest doubt; the final issue of the success of our arms is merely a question of time. But here a question comes up which is entitled to the serious consideration of every truly loyal man in the North. To procrastinate the war to an indefinite period in the future, or, by bringing double the force we now have into the field, crush out at once every spark of rebellion that yet remains – which were the safer method? I have always deprecated the policy which so many of our newspaper and speakers have embraced of underrating the enemy; it is calculated to do infinite mischief to our cause. The Rebel troops are not the poor miserable, half-starved wretches that slap-trap orators at home, far away from the battlefield delight to style them. Within the past two weeks I have had opportunity of seeing and conversing with many prisoners from the Rebel army and of inspecting their clothing and general appearance. So far as clothing is concerned they are reasonably will provided and in physical condition they are quite the equal of our troops. Their clothing it is true is not so stylish as that worn by our men, but it is of homespun, undyed, stout and strong, and for all practical purposes better than the finest fabrics. The colors too are not so distinctive as our uniforms, being gray and drab, which assimilates so closely to the color of the earth as to render it far more difficult to “draw a bee line” upon a Rebel soldier at two hundred and fifty yards than it would be upon our troops at the same distance. [Signed] E. R. W. Gen. M’Clellan Gen. M’Clellan is reported as having recently sent to the President a request that he be either assigned to duty or mustered out of the service. This request does him honor. There are now quite a number of Major Generals standing idle – M’Clellan, Fremont, Butler, Sigel and others - who are costing the Nation quite a sum which they do not earn – and it is no fault of theirs. It is not their choice to eat the bread of illness however well buttered; and they should either be set to work or sent about their private business. We beg the President to take early action in the premises so that those he does not want as Major Generals may be at liberty to enter the service afresh as Colonels or Captains should they see fit. Any of the Major Generals could easily raise a picked regiment of veterans if he saw fit and some of them might see fit. At all events, give them work or leave them free to find work for themselves. Stoneman’s Great Cavalry Expedition The following account of Gen. Stoneman’s remarkable expedition comes from one who accompanied it: Gen. Stoneman with 2,700 picked men and a light battery of six pieces composed of a section selected from three batteries with special reference to procuring the best horses and men, started on the raid which has now become famous. On the 13th of April, owing to heavy rains and various other circumstances, he did not cross the Rappahannock until ten days or a fortnight afterward. At the time of the crossing, General Averill started with a column along the end of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad with the intention of driving Lee and Hampton who were in that vicinity to Culpepper and Gordonsville, thus clearing the way for Gen. Stoneman’s body of cavalry who were to accomplish the real objects of the expedition. General Stoneman crossed the Rappahannock at two places below where Gen. Averill crossed and advanced on the Shepherdsburg road. Sending out a party to reconnoiter toward Shepherdsburg, they came upon the rear pickets of the enemy who were in force between Stevensburg and the railroad with Gen. Averill in front. The nature of Gen. Stoneman’s expedition did not allow of his remaining there to fight, as to seek a battle would prevent the accomplishment of his designs; he therefore moved on to Raccoon Ford upon the advance. Reaching this place they found it defended by infantry and artillery. A detachment was therefore sent to cross the Rappahannock at a point some distance below Raccoon Ford and then to attack the enemy in the flank and rear. This was successfully accomplished and the main body crossed safely at Raccoon Ford. The command then proceeded down the direct road to Louisa Court House, sending out parties along every intersecting road to destroy bridges and telegraph wires and to obtain forage and provisions. The bridges over unfordable streams, on the direct road, were left to be guarded by detachments in case they were required as a line of retreat. Reaching Louisa Court House on the line of the Virginia Central Railroad, expeditions were sent out along the road in either direction to destroy the road, telegraphs, burn the water tanks, depots and railroad ties. The expedition toward Gordonsville encountered a force of the enemy, who, by this time, had been driven from Culpepper and Gordonsville by Averill, who did not, however, effect a junction with Stoneman as directed. The enemy were in such force that re-enforcements were sent out and the Rebels were driven back to Gordonsville. The destruction of the road was completed and a party proceeded to tear up the railroad between Gordonsville and Charlottesville. Parties were also sent out from Louisa Court House to destroy the bridges over the North Anna River. The command then proceeded through Sauceyville and rendezvoused at Thompson’s Crossroads. From there three expeditions were sent out – one along the South Anna River to destroy the bridges across this unfordable stream; another to destroy the Fredericksburg and Richmond Railroad from Ashland down; also the railroad from Richmond to Hanover Court House to get as near Richmond as possible, and if practicable to cross over to Pamunky River, destroying such bridges as it was practicable to destroy and then to proceed down the Peninsula to West Point; the third expedition was to strike the James River at Columbia, break the locks of the canal and destroy the bridges as far down the river as might be. This expedition was to cross a small force over the James at Carterville and pass down and destroy the railroad bridge on the Richmond and Lynchburg Road, over the Appatuattox [as spelled in newspaper] River. Gathering the balance of his force together at Thompson’s Cross roads, Gen. Stoneman prepared to return. By this time, Stuart, Lee and Hampton were in pursuit of the audacious party. The forces of the latter two were driven in the direction of Charlottesville and Stuart was drawn off in the direction of Guiney’s Station, by an apparent diversion of our forces in that direction. Having thus separated Stuart’s command, Gen. Stoneman started on his return between the two bodies along the same route he went out. His scouting parties encountered the enemy’s infantry pickets on the road to Spotsylvania Court House but the command succeeded in safely re-crossing the Rapidan and Rappahannock Rivers, swimming the latter. The feat of getting the artillery across the latter stream, the horses swimming and drawing the guns, is certainly worthy of notice. Only one man was lost by drowning. The success of the whole expedition is mainly due to the deception practiced upon the inhabitants. The force was everywhere magnified and, by scattering in small parties, the delusion was completed by dividing the command into different expeditions. They were enabled to supply themselves with forage and provisions and thus live upon the country through which they passed. Their pack-mules were sent back the first day out, and officers and men only carried what they could upon their horses. For two days and three nights they never built a fire. In many places they camped as though intending to remain, giving out that they were merely the advance guard of the main army. With telegraphic communication destroyed and railroads interrupted, this was only too readily believed. The inhabitants were paroled and sent to Richmond. The officers captured were detained as prisoners; among these was Major Johnston of Gen. Stuart’s staff. At one place, two large houses were found, filled with hams. What of this was not needed was destroyed. Twelve hundred hogsheads of tobacco were also captured, most of which were burned. Such horses as could be found were taken and those worn out by the march were left in their places. Gen. Stoneman reports large quantities of supplies in Albemarie county, gathered there by the inhabitants. It was to protect these that Lee and Hampton proceeded in that direction. It is estimated that the total number of miles traveled by the different expeditions will exceed one thousand. The men return in the best of spirits though of course, considerably fatigued by their march. It seems almost incredible that the battery should have made the entire march with the main body, and returned without accident. The roads were in wretched condition and all the streams considerably swollen. During the whole time Gen. Stoneman has had no communication with General Hooker’s army. Chancellorsville For a week past, says the New York TRIBUNE, the people of the loyal States have been surfeited with extracts from the Richmond journals, boasting that the Rebels took 10,000 prisoners in the recent battles between Gen. Hooker’s army on the Rappahannock and the rebel forces led by Gen. Lee. At length those prisoners are forwarded to City Point for exchange and the actual count reduces them to 4,500. The rebels in Virginia have seven thousand prisoners in all to exchange, but only 4,500 of them belong to the Army of the Potomac. Here are facts in correction of bulletins whereby we may confidently measure past and future vaunts of rebel triumphs. Meantime the fact remains questioned and unexplained that Gen. Lee had ample notice of Gen. Hooker’s retreat across the Rappahannock, yet did not venture to assail or molest him. Crossing a deep rapid river in the face of a resolute enemy is always a hazardous and costly undertaking; but retreating across such a river in presence of a hostile force is ten times more difficult and perilous than advancing. Had Lee’s army been in fighting condition, it is not possible that he would have suffered this passage without even an attempt to profit by it. The simple truth manifestly is that Lee’s army, which consisted of but 50,000 men at the onset had suffered so terribly and been overworked so fearfully during the four or five days preceding that it could not attempt to press on Hooker’s rear during the passage of the Rappahannock. Lee is a good General, thoroughly wide awake and his army is brave and resolute, but there are limits to human capacity and endurance. They had fought Hooker on Saturday and Sunday and Sedgwick on Monday and though they crowded our men in either case, this fact compelled them to expose compact bodies of infantry to the murderous fire of our powerful and well-served artillery so that their losses in killed and wounded were doubtless greater than ours, ably as they were handled. Then they must have nearly or quite exhausted their ammunition for their great guns, as they made little or no use of them in the later conflicts. Had Gen. Hooker known how incapable were his adversaries of further exertion, he would not have re-crossed the Rappahannock; and though the prestige of success is with them, their losses including that of Stonewall Jackson trench more severely on their resources than ours do upon our own. Their “victory” is like that of Pyrrhus of Macedon over the Romans of which he remarked that one more like that would be his ruin. Re-Enlistment of Officers By order of the Secretary of War, officers of regiments going out of service by reason of the expiration of their terms of service, may, with the consent of their respective Governors, re-enlist their regiment within thirty days from the expiration of their original service for a term of three years, unless sooner discharged; and upon the regiments being filled up within thirty days aforesaid, the officers shall be restored at their rank as from the date of their original commissions. This however will give no claim to pay for the time between muster out and re-entry into the service. ------------------------------------------------------------------- MARRIAGES Horn-Devil Married at Loretto by Rev. T. S. Reynolds on Sunday, 10th inst., Mr. Thaddeus Horn of Carroll township, to Miss Lizzie Devil, of Allegheny township. “In future bliss may they always revel, For passing few to joy are born; The youthful bride, the graceful Devil, May she find comfort – in a Horn!? L ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEATHS Another Hero Gone We are sorry to be obliged to chronicle the death of another of Cambria’s brave sons in the recent fight near Fredericksburg – Lieut. Peter Kaylor, Jr., of Co. F, 28th Penna. Vols. The deceased had been in the service of his country ever since the commencement of hostilities between the North and the South and nobly did his duty to the last. He also served throughout the Mexican War and was one of the celebrated “forlorn hope” at the battle of Chapultepec, composed of some 160 men, only 16 escaping the bullets of the foe – he of the number. He resided in Alleghany township and was about 35 years of age. A true patriot, a tried soldier, a respected citizen, a good man, may his memory live forever. John Kibler John Kibler of Co. D., 115th Penna. Vols., who was killed at the late battle near Fredericksburg, was a son of Mr. Jacob Kibler of Chest township, this county. and was aged about 21 years. He was an estimable young man and much beloved by all who knew him. A letter from one of his messmates speaks of him as having been brave as a lion and says that he “fell at his post.” He was shot through the head, death ensuing instantaneously. Peace to his ashes! Mark Gallagher Died in Division Hospital, Falmouth, Va., March 9, 1863, of typhoid fever, Mark Gallagher, a member of Co. H, 110th Penna. Vols., and son of James S. Gallagher of Beccaria, Clearfield county, aged 26 years and 3 months. The remains of the deceased were brought to Mt. Pleasant, Clearfield county on the 29th March and there interred.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, May 14, 1863 Volume 4, Number 33 NEWS Local and Personal The Cresson Springs establishment will be opened for the accommodation of visitors on or about the 10th of June, coming. Kratzer, the picture-taker, is in town again. Fully prepared to execute all manner of photographs, ambrotypes, &c. Give him a call at his room, above E. Shoemaker’s store. Capt. James D. Hamilton of Huntingdon has been appointed Provost Marshal under the Conscription Act for the counties of Blair, Cambria, Huntingdon and Mifflin. Mr. Mathias S. Harr of Ebensburg has been appointed Commissioner to superintend the draft within said district. A Surgeon is also appointed, but we have forgotten his name. Our Soldiers Co. D, 115th Penna. Vols., - recruited principally in this county – was fully engaged in the terrible fight of Sunday week and lost largely. Lieut. Evan Davis, commanding the company was wounded early in the engagement while rallying his men. Another report says he was killed. As yet his fate remains uncertain, as, living or dead, he fell into the hands of the enemy. Some six or eight others of the company are reported missing. By letters received from Co. F., 133d Penna. Vols., it appears that none of the members of that company were injured in the fight. The Market House The contract for building our proposed market house was awarded to Mr. James Myers by the Borough authorities on Saturday last, his bid of $285 being the lowest offered. According to the provisions of the contract, the building is to be finished inside sixty days. Pardoned Joseph Shoemaker, formerly landlord of the Cambria House, Johnstown, and sentenced to a term of years in the penitentiary for counterfeiting has received a full pardon from President Lincoln. Coming Home! The term of service for which Co. F., 133d Penna. Vols., enlisted has about expired, and our boys will probably be mustered out of service and furnished transportation home during the present or coming week. In view of the eminent services they have rendered our common country – by the memory of the bloody field of Fredericksburg where nearly one-half of their number fell, killed or wounded, by the bullets of the foeman – let them have a glorious reception. Let us demonstrate to them that despite the efforts of a handful of Copperheads to the contrary, a grateful people love and honor them and hold in grateful remembrance their deeds of daring in behalf of our free institutions. We merely throw out the hint, confident that our citizens will act upon it forthwith and see to it that they secure a reception commensurate with their just deserts. The Cambria Iron Works These extensive works have been greatly enlarged during the past year. The old building is 650 feet in length and 100 in width with two wings each 150 feet long, in which there are eight engines and fifty- six furnaces with any number of rolls, both for the manufacture of merchant and rail iron. For the rails they use double or three high rolls, an invention of Mr. John Fritz, formerly Superintendent of the works. The new mill is situated about thirty feet from the old one, is over 300 feet in length and 100 feet in width, contains eight heating furnaces and several sets of three high rolls for the manufacture of bar and rail iron. The engine to be used is one of great power, the fly-wheel for which, lately cast at their own foundry, is one solid rim, is sixty-three feet in circumference, sixteen inches square in the rim and weighs twenty-three tons. The roof is what is called “Howe’s Truss Roof,” and is covered with slate. When both mills are in operation they will be able to turn out one hundred and fifty tons of rails per day. Thus Cambria county has within its limits one of the largest, if not the largest, rolling mills in the world.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, May 7, 1863 Volume 4, Number 32 NEWS Local and Personal Capt. James Murray of Co. D, 115th Pa. Vols., has resigned his commission and come home. Cause, physical disability. Campbell, of the Johnstown DEMOCRAT, was in town on Monday and honored us with a call. He is a whole-souled genial fellow – a gentleman and a scholar – an editor. May he live forever! David Thomas of Co. F, 133d has received an honorable discharge from the service and arrived home. Election of Co. Supt. The convention of School Directors to name a successor to Mr. Henry Ely, whose term of office as County Superintendent has about expired, met here on Monday and after a short and harmonious session, elected Mr. J. Frank Condon of Johnstown to that high position. Mr. C. has been a professional teacher for many years and at the present time holds the position of Superintendent of the Johnstown Union schools. He is spoken of as a young man of fine intellectual attainments and as eminently qualified in every respect to perform satisfactorily the responsible duties attaching to the office. A returned soldier, who had lost his health in the service of his country, Mr. C’s elevation is proof conclusive of the fact that Republics are not always ungrateful. The County Institute The Cambria County Teachers’ Institute convened here on Monday afternoon and effected an organization by the election of the following named permanent officers: President: Henry Ely Vice Presidents: E. J. Mills, Wm. Litzinger Secretary: Daniel W. Evans Asst. Secretary: Wm. H. Sechler Corresponding Secretary: Miss Lizzie M. Hutchinson A full attendance of teachers and the friends of Education generally is present from almost every district in the county and the indications are that the affair will prove a complete success. On Monday eve, P. S. Noon, Esq., delivered an able and eloquent address before the Institute. He spoke in glowing terms of the dignity and honor of the profession of letters and paid the teachers present a high compliment upon their manifest intelligence and ability. The session lasts until this (Thursday) afternoon. We will give more detailed particulars of its doings next week. In the Hands of the Philistines Mr. Clinton R. Jones, formerly of this place, but for a term of years past, a resident of Cranberry Summit, Preston co., West Virginia, has arrived here. He reports that during the late raid of the Rebels through that section, Cranberry Summit, a small station on the B. & O. R. R., was visited by a body of Rebel cavalry, comprising some 2,000 men, under command of Col. Harmon, who held high carnival for the time being on the wealth and substance of the loyal residents of that place. The mercantile establishment of Messrs. Nutter, Evans and Jones - all Cambria county men, by the way – was entered by the marauders and despoiled of its contents. Everything of value that could possibly be carried off was attached to their horses by the Rebels, while the more bulky articles were irremediably destroyed. Mr. J’s estimate of the loss of his firm by this spoliation is set down at about $3,000. The other stores in the town were treated in a similar manner. Private houses as a general thing were suffered to remain unmolested and the persons of private citizens were untouched. Mr. J. states that the Rebels were well mounted and well armed. They left Cranberry on Sunday evening week en route for Morgantown with the expressed determination of forthwith “invading” Pennsylvania. Mr. J. furthermore reports that Mr. Dennis Litzinger, another Cambrian, also engaged in the mercantile business in the immediate vicinity of Cranberry had his store rid out by these same depredators.

Lytle, Register Ebensburg, May 7, 1863 Copperhead Club The Copperhead Club of this place held a meeting at the Town Hall on Monday evening on which occasion we are credibly informed James Potts, Esq., of Johnstown, fully demonstrated that he could disgust the loyal portion of an audience in less time, perhaps, than any other man above ground. Union League The Ebensburg Union League held its regular semi-monthly meeting at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. Several able and instructive speeches were delivered. The League is doing good work. The Army of the Potomac in Motion Crossing of the Rappahannock Good News From the special correspondence of the PRESS we extract the following particulars of the advance of Gen. Hooker’s army - an advance the gratifying success of which has electrified the entire nation: It is evident that the only sure method of relieving our troops now besieged at Suffolk was found in a direct advance of the Army of the Potomac toward Richmond. The details for this movement have been arranged for different propitious days for some time past but owing to the wet weather and the horrible conditions of the roads, it has been found impossible to move our army without incurring great risks and losses. On Tuesday last however it was determined to cross the river in two columns - the one above Falmouth on the road to Culpeper to consist of cavalry, light infantry, artillery, engineers and artisans under Gen. Stoneman – the other to consist of the main body of our army under the immediate supervision of the commanding general. On Monday night our engineers made a selection for a point at which our pontoon bridges could be laid in safety and the work of their construction was immediately commenced and carried on without serious interruption. On Tuesday morning, two bridges were completed and General Meade’s army corps prepared to cross the river. I am informed that the first regiment of Union troops to cross the Rappahannock river on this occasion was the gallant 119th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Upon arriving on the south bank of the stream, they were at once deployed to the right and left through the wooded skirting of farms to observe the movement of the enemy. Before night on Tuesday, five pontoon bridges had been completed and our entire army was crossing. As our troops advanced during yesterday, the rebels fell back, skirmishing with our advance guard. It was soon discovered that the enemy had withdrawn his main column from the line of the Rappahannock, and contrabands informed Gen. Hooker positively that there were no troops in great force anywhere in our front for a distance of twenty miles south. Falling back through the vale of the Matapony, the enemy destroyed the bridges over this stream and its tributaries but did not appear disposed to dispute our continued advance very stoutly. During yesterday a large number of prisoners were captured but they consist, for the most part, of men who could not keep up with their fellows in the retreat and dropped along the roads and by-paths from sheer weakness. I learn that Gen. Hooker and staff crossed the river yesterday and that today our troops are marching forward, driving the rebels back from every point as they proceed. There has been no heavy fighting yet and no cannonade except the firing of shells at the enemy occasionally to discover his whereabouts. Every one here seems delighted with the news from the advance and predicts a great and decisive victory for General Hooker and his excellent army. The Government officers are especially good-natured and seem to think that the people will take this as another proof of the determination and ability of our rulers to push on rapidly toward Richmond. It is reported that the city of Fredericksburg was occupied yesterday with a strong garrison under the direction of Provost Marshal General Patrick and the railroad to Richmond is being rapidly repaired. It is also believed that Port Royal on the Rappahannock has been occupied by our troops and will be used as a landing for stores. It is not thought that Gen. Hooker will advance much further south just as present. I will not say why, because it is unnecessary to allow the enemy to obtain any idea of our future movements. Communication with another corps of our army will be opened in a few days, when the real merits of the present grand movement will begin to develop themselves and some discoveries may be made that will surprise the public considerably. Thus far, fortune has certainly favored our arms in this movement. Our troops have been engaged in skirmishing all day but no battle has taken place and it is thought that our losses have been slight. We are entirely prepared for the enemy and when the great battle is fought we shall be the victors, especially if we are attacked by the enemy in the process of our advance. General Stoneman’s light division has advanced to Culpeper. The railroad has been repaired; and Government trains are running to that point. The reports from this column are encouraging and we hear nothing of the complaint of inefficiency in any particular, so common in other campaigns. Some fifteen hundred rebels were captured yesterday, it is said, in the rifle pass beyond Fredericksburg. About three hundred have been sent to Washington for examination as they express a desire to take the oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States. Gen. Hooker has issued the following congratulatory order to the army: “Camp near Falmouth, April 30, 1863 It is with heartfelt satisfaction the Commanding General announces to the army that the operations of the last three days have determined that our enemy must either ingloriously fly or come out from behind his defenses and give us battle on our own ground, where certain destruction awaits him. The operations of the 5th, 11th and 12th Corps has been a succession of splendid achievements.” ------------------------------------------------------------------- MARRIAGES Buck-M’Gough Married at Loretto on the 21st ult., Mr. Jacob Buck to Miss Maggie M’Gough, both of Allegheny township, this county. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEATHS Joseph M. Magehan Died at his residence in St. Louis on the 29th April, Joseph M. Magehan, Esq., aged fifty-five years. The deceased was the only surviving brother of Michael Dan Magehan. He was born in Loretto in March, 1808. He removed to St. Louis in 1828 where he resided up to the time of his death. He has filled many and important offices in that city, with credit to himself and benefit to the people. Faithful and kind to his friends, forgiving and forgetting enemies, he died as he lived – at peace with the world. A Christian in life, he left for we hope a home where no care or sorrow can approach him. May our end be like to his. Surrounded by a loving family, consoled by the last and most solemn religious rites, he left this world for it is to be hoped a better and happier one. R. J. P. Richard Kaylor Died at the residence of his father in Munster township, this county of chronic diarrhea, contracted in the army, on the 26th ult., Richard Kaylor, formerly a member of Co. H, 28th Penna. Vols. The deceased was among the first to respond to the call of his country at the breaking out of the rebellion, enlisting in Co. G, Capt. Carroll, 10th Penna. Vols., for three months service. He served this term with honor and subsequently when the rebellion began to assume a more threatening aspect, he again shouldered his musket and proved his devotion to his country on many a bloody field. Peace to his ashes. L. Mrs. Jane Todd Died in this place on the 28th ult., Mrs. Jane Todd, relict of David Todd, deceased, aged 64 years. The remains of the deceased were interred at Loretto the following Thursday. Frederick Sharp Died at Gallitzin, this county, on 2d inst., Frederick Sharp, aged about 36 years. The remains of the deceased were brought hither on Monday and interred in Lloyd’s cemetery. Pamela Jane James Died on the 1st inst., of scarlet fever, Pamelia Jane, aged 11 years, daughter of Benjamin and Ellen James, of Cambria township, this county. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, April 30, 1863 Volume 4, Number 31 NEWS Personal Adjutant R. A. M’Coy of the gallant 11th Penna. Reserves, was with us on a brief visit last week, returning to his regiment on Saturday. He was looking hale and hearty as though the life of a soldier agreed with him to a t. The Adjutant bears the reputation of being a tip-top officer, while as a man he is unsurpassed and unsurpassable. Long life to him! Lewis Jones, formerly a member of the 7th Ohio has arrived here. Owing to the severity of a wound received in a battle in Western Virginia he is incapacitated for service and has received an honorable discharge. We wish him speedy and entire convalescence. Hon. G. W. Easly of Johnstown has been appointed by the Commissioners Mercantile Appraiser of this county. New Church We are informed that the erection of a new Catholic church in Johnstown the coming summer is in contemplation, the present building having been found altogether too small for the wants of the congregation. Mr. James C. Easly, now of this place, is engaged in preparing the necessary plans, etc. From this gentleman’s well known ability as an architect, it would be safe to infer that the ground work of the proposed church, at least, will be executed in a truly tasteful and artistic manner. We wish the enterprise all the success it deserves. >From Our Volunteers Letter from Co. F., 133d Penna. Vols. Sunday in Camp More Rain and Delays Paid Off, &c., &c. Camp Near Falmouth, Va. April 20, 1863 Taking, all in all, Sunday is well observed in camp both by men and officers. It is but seldom that any of the men are found disturbing the quiet of the day. No duty is required of them save to appear on inspection in the morning and dress parade in the evening. When the weather is not too inclement, preaching by our most worthy and efficient chaplain follows inspection while regimental prayer meeting is held during the early portion of the evening. Yesterday Col. (Rev.) J. B. Clark by invitation of Chaplain Hartsock delivered an excellent sermon taking his text from Luke x:42. Throughout the discourse the speaker received the most strict attention. His remarks were plain, practical and able. Col. Clark is highly esteemed by the whole brigade, both for his efficiency as an officer and his uprightness as a man. In the afternoon the Welsh portion of the regiment were enlivened by a sermon in their native tongue by Rev. John Morgan Thomas (well known in Ebensburg), Chaplain of the 155th Regiment, Penna. Vols. The novelty of the sermon drew many to whom the words of the speaker were but unintelligible sounds. The harmony and exquisite sweetness of the singing held every listener spellbound. On Tuesday morning last we were placed under marching orders. That night and the next day we were visited by a heavy and constant rain which may have caused a delay in the move. When we move or where to is unknown to us. We do know, however, that we have eight days rations crammed in the haversack and knapsack. The regiment received four months pay last Friday. Our chaplain took $26,000 for the regiment to be expressed home at Acquia Creek. Our company sent $1,631. The company still continues to enjoy good health. [Signed] E. R. W. Union League at Chest Springs Quite a large number of the citizens of Chest Springs and vicinity met on Thursday evening, April 16th, for the purpose of forming a Loyal Union League. The meeting was organized by calling Dr. Geo. W. Strohecker to the chair and appointing S. J. Weakland, Vice President and M. M. Wagner, Secretary. Upon taking his seat, Dr. Strohecker stated, in a few well chosen words, the object of the meeting and the pressing necessity for the formation of such organizations. He closed by introducing Robert W. Hunt, of Johnstown, who addressed the audience on the questions of the day. This gentleman was followed by Cyrus Elder, Esq., of Johnstown, in one of his usual happy efforts. Upon the close of Mr. Elder’s remarks, the secretary reported a draft of a Constitution and By-Laws, which was adopted and under which a permanent organization was formed by electing the following officers: President: S. J. Weakland Vice President: Henry Nutter Secretary: A. W. Green Treasurer: J. A. Baker The greatest enthusiasm was manifested through the whole meeting which adjourned with three rousing cheers for the Union and the Constitution. So we learn from the Johnstown TRIBUNE.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, April 23, 1863 Volume 4, Number 30 NEWS Personal Lieut. R. M. Jones of Co. A, 11th Penna. Reserves, at home on furlough for several weeks past, returned to hospital at Washington city on Friday. His wound, received at the second Bull Run battle is not entirely healed, but he confidently expects to be able to rejoin his company in a short time. Sergt. Charles Fagan of Co. A, 11th Penna. Reserves, David James of same company and regiment and Lewis Edwards of Co. F, 133d Penna. Vols., have arrived here. The former is on a ten days’ furlough and the two latter have been honorably discharged. Lumber Item The recent heavy rains have swollen the various streams in this section to such an extent that the Susquehanna river is now in prime condition for rafting. A gentleman from the north of the county assures us that unusual actively prevails among the lumbermen of that region and that a vast amount of timber is being floated down to market. At Patchin’s Mills, he counted no less than seventy-five rafts in one day on their “winding way,” each one worth probably one thousand dollars. The aggregate value of this single lot would be seventy-five thousand dollars, from which may be gathered some slight estimate of the extent of the business done during “the season.” Lumber never commanded a better sale than at present, and the indications are that the thrift and industry of the hardy pioneers of the forest during the winter will be amply rewarded. So mite it be! >From Our Volunteers Letter from Co. F, 133d Penna. Vols. Forward March! Items of Interest Camp near Falmouth, Va. April 13, 1863 This week I have nothing of much importance to communicate. The men are still in winter quarters but I am of the opinion that ere long we will move out of them. The weather is pleasant and last night, we had just enough rain to lay the dust. The roads are in good condition for the transportation of trains and artillery and I do not see how we can remain inactive much longer. Lately our boys have been kept quite busy drilling, reviewing, &c. Wednesday we were reviewed in corps by the President, Gen. Hooker and the corps commanders of whom there were several present. Also I noticed upon the field several ladies – some in the saddle, but the greater portion comfortably seated in ambulances. It was an imposing sight, the vast army of men massed in long lines, with glittering arms and equipments, presenting to treason’s foul face a solid front of honest flesh and blood and the heart of the chief of the Nation must have swelled with emotion, as he gazed upon the scene. First the President escorted by Gen. Hooker, the corps commanders, and a large and brilliant staff, rode before each column. The day was quite cool and all parties evidently felt the effects of the raw wind. After this part of the programme had been concluded, each regiment by division passed before the President. This is the most critical part of the review, and it is here the well trained soldier exhibits his good qualities. Among the regiments whose marching excited universal attentions was the 114th Penna. Vols., better known as Collis’ Zouaves de Afrique. There were many more whose maneuverings were well executed, but I had no means of ascertaining names or numbers. Of course, modesty forbids my saying anything of the 133d. Mr. Lincoln’s careworn features give sufficient evidence that, as the choice of a great nation, he feels and appreciates the difficulties and perils of his position. Yet I thought I could detect a faint smile playing around his mouth as he rode down the lines. I have no doubt it did his honest heart good to see us. May he be enabled by the blessing of God to conduct to a glorious termination this miserable and unholy rebellion is the prayer of every true patriot. Yesterday we were hurriedly drawn into line to be reviewed by Gen. Fogliardi, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Switzerland. He was escorted by the regiments by Gen. Humphreys and staff. Gen. Fogliardi being unable to speak our language readily, the greater portion of the conversation on his part was by means of gestures. He is a fine looking officer, handsome in form and features, and is probably forty or forty-five years of age. For the information of your readers, I send you a list of our corps, division, brigade, regiment and company commanders. Maj. Gen. Meade commands the 5th Army corps to which our regiment is attached. Brig. Gen. Humphreys commands the division, consisting of Tyler’s and Allabach’s brigades. Col. P. H. Allabach of the 131st P. V., commands the brigade of which the 133d forms a part. Lieut. Col. Wm. A. M’Cartney is at present commander of the regiment and Lieut. Flanagan of Co. F. Last night after tattoo, we received orders to have our knapsacks packed and be ready to move at eight o’clock this morning, if not sooner. The command was not altogether unexpected for during the evening a dozen different rumors had been flying through camp and we were on the qui vive for something to occur. But although it is now five P. M., we have not yet started. The presumption is that a large force of Union cavalry has by this time crossed the river on a reconnaissance and the intention of the order was to have us in readiness to assist should our services be required. During the morning to the right of camp we could plainly see long lines of horses and men marching in the direction of the river. From the extent of the force engaged, I have no doubt important results will follow. No general engagement may occur but the supposition is not very plausible. The time since they left is too short to learn what they have accomplished. On the 10th of this month there was a general muster of the army for the purpose of ascertaining the real number of men in active service. By the muster the President will ascertain the number of men requisite to fill the three year regiments to the original complement and the number of men needed to take the places of the two year and nine month troops. The copperheads of the North tell you our army is demoralized, but this is not the truth – quite the contrary. Any man who reiterates the statement is a traitor and a liar. I have never seen the men in better spirits and trim than they are at present. They enjoy good health and are well fed – two most important items in the composition of a large force. Much praise is due Gen. Hooker of his untiring efforts to bring the army to its present effective condition. The General looks hale and hearty and seems well pleased with his men. He is winning a firm hold in their affections. Major. Gen. Meade is also a good officer and the corps is fortunate in having him as its commander. Later – This, Tuesday morning, we have had eight days rations issued to us and tomorrow we move – but to what point it is impossible to tell. We may cross the river for the purpose of engaging the enemy at some point and another surmise is that we start for home by way of White Plains and Harper’s Ferry. Time alone will unfold the facts but we all feel certain that a long tramp is in store for us. We will have a heavy load to march under for I assure you eight days food for a soldier is not little affair in addition to knapsack, blankets, overcoat, gun, equipment, &c. [Signed] Cambria Military Matters in the West Headquarters Pioneer Brigade Army of the Cumberland Murfreesboro, Tenn., April 6, 1863 It has been a long time since your ever welcome journal has been received, owing probably to the fact of my not informing you that I have been detached and am now in the Pioneer Brigade. This brigade is composed of detachments from each regiment in this department, each detachment consisting of one commissioned and two non- commissioned officers and twenty-one privates. It numbers in all (including Pontoniers Pack Mule Train and Construction Train) over three thousand three hundred men and is commanded by Brig. Gen. J. St. C. Morton of the Engineer Corps of the regular army – an efficient officer. There are also attached to the brigade two batteries, one known as the “Board of Trade,” from Chicago and the other as “Bridge’s Battery.” Today Gen. Van Cleve’s division returned from a five days scout in the direction of Liberty. They were out a distance of forty miles from here. They captured fifteen or twenty prisoners and brought in a large quantity of forage. During the trip the rebels captured two of our men, but fearing a recapture, they lashed them to a tree and shot them, killing one instantly and wounding the other. The wounded man extricated himself and was brought into camp with the division. The bullet lodged in the fleshy part of his neck, but was removed by the surgeons. A man, representing himself as hailing from the eastern part of Maine and calling himself by name of Locke and who had been in this department over a month, selling songs to the soldiers was arrested today just outside the lines. He was taken to Gen. Negley’s headquarters and afterward placed in confinement in the guard house with ball and chain appendages attached. A drawing and plan of the earthworks, fortifications, &c., were found on his person. Subsequently while the sentinel was asleep on his post, Locke attempted to make his escape and by so doing awakened the cavalryman, who, picking up the sentinel’s gun started in pursuit, crying, “halt!” But Locke paid not the least attention to him; and the cavalryman discharged his weapon, the ball taking effect in the fugitive’s leg. This brought him to a stand but only for a moment. Determined to make good his escape Locke started again, when the cavalryman fired the second time, the ball taking effect in his breast, killing him almost instantly. On the 10th inst., a private of the 26th O. V. I. will be shot for deserting in the face of the enemy on the 31st of last December. A private of the 6th Ky. Inf., will also be shot on the 14th inst., for being absent without leave for more than a year. Rosecrans is keeping the rebels on a move all the time. He is as watchful of their movements as a general can possibly be. They do not get a chance to mass a force in front of him without his knowing. He is not to be caught napping. On the contrary he is willing and anxious to receive them at all hours and at all times. The army is in good condition and do not complain of anything, except it be of Northern “Copperheads,” the course of whom they abhor and despise. Vallandigham and his clique of compromise shrickers are in bad odor here. The boys aver that they are traitors of the deepest dye, and should receive the doom of traitors. I concur with them. Spring has set in and everything looks green and beautiful. The peach trees have been in bloom here for over two weeks. [Signed] Space-Driver >From St. Augustine [Extracts from lengthy article] A friend sends us the particulars of a Copperhead meeting held at St. Augustine, this county, on the 13th inst., from which we glean the following information. Joseph Moyers was elected to preside over the deliberations of the assemblage, assisted by a number of Vice Presidents, &c. Daniel Litzinger was first requested to address the meeting but failed to respond. R. L. Johnston, Esq., was thereupon invited to come forward and un-bosom himself. This he did in his stereotyped style. He denounced the Administration in good set terms, averring that it and not the South had brought on the war; condemned the Conscript act as unconstitutional; had a few words to offer concerning the Crittenden Compromise and vehemently cautioned his hearers against turning a listening ear to the allurement of Union Leagues. In the speaker’s estimation, they were nothing but the “Dark Lantern” organization revived under a new name. This extraordinary statement occurs in our correspondent’s epitome of Mr. J’s remarks: “This war is a crusade again the South, to supplant her white population with the negro or Yankee - not much difference which.” Comment on this would be superfluous! P. S. Noon was the next speaker. He was quite severe on the Administration, neither did he spare the Conscription act. Speaking to this latter measure, he said “it is unconstitutional and he was ready to stand up with one and all at home to oppose it to the bitter end.” Come one, come all! this rock shall fly from its firm base as soon as I – or any other man! This was about all. It amounted to nothing more nor less than a meeting of the “Ebensburg Democratic Club” held at St. Augustine. The same dogmas were proclaimed there, by the same men, that we have theretofore noticed as emanating from our Town Hall. [Snip] One thing is certain, however, these disaffected gatherings in this end of the county, are the sole work of a few political harpies of the Loco-Foco persuasion, who, from the cavernsome depths of the Town Hall, aspire to shape the course of their party to suit their own selfish ends. By them are the meetings called, and by them engineered through their devious windings. As a matter of course, the “rank and file” – and who don’t know exactly what the rank and file of the Loco-Focoism means! – chime in to a greater or lesser extent. [Snip] The “Ebensburg Democratic Club” and its leaders are sowing the wind. They need not be surprised if, in the course of time, they reap the whirlwind. Union Meeting The Union meeting at Wilmore on Saturday was, we understand, both large and patriotic. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Hunt and Brown of Johnstown, Daniel W. Evans of Ebensburg, Wm. A. Leavy of Loretto and Rev. Kuhlman of Wilmore. The greatest enthusiasm was manifest and everything conduced favorably toward the true interests of the Country. ------------------------------------------------------------------ MARRIAGES Shoup-Patterson Married on the 15th, April, 1863, at the house of Major Jacob Mack, by Rev.

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, April 16, 1863 Volume 4, Number 29 NEWS >From Our Volunteers Letter from Co. F, 133d Penna. Vols. Grand Review, &c., &c. Near Stoneman’s Switch, Va. April 7, 1863 Today came off one of those events that by you at home are considered brilliant, gorgeous affairs but which to the common soldier were a quite different aspect – I mean a review. By a review you understand the maneuvering of imposing columns led by gay and of course brave officers in the presence of the reviewers. To the soldier, the common soldier, alas, how different! Take as an instance the present review. Being sent on picket on Saturday and expecting to return today (Tuesday) we were yesterday hurriedly brought in from out posts - where we had after severe labor arranged right comfortable quarters – to prepare for the event of the day. Today comes, the morning passes, equipments are cleaned, shoes cleared of mud and blacked, clothes brushed, faces washed and all things ready and the “soger” about to sit down to his dinner when the orderly’s call, “fall in for review!” sounds through the camp. So we put on our equipments, shoulder our gun, leave the much beloved dinner and fall into line. In line we are, and for a long time, we stay waiting for the appearance of Father Abraham. The wind blows keenly, the toes get cold, the body chilled and the dinnerless stomach hungry – but no Abraham appears in view. About this time we are ordered to stack arms and be ready to form in line at a moment’s notice. By taking advantage of this relief the dinnerless soldier gets his dinner, but scarcely is it swallowed till he is again called into line to ostensibly see good old Abraham, but as the signal proves, only to un-stack arms, restack them and be off again, ready to fall in at a moment’s warning. After a considerable portion of the afternoon had passed, we were for the third time formed in line and this time marched to some large, open field to await the arrival of President Lincoln, Gen. Hooker and others. The day was fine, though a cold, piercing wind prevailed, going to the very marrow. Finally the President, Gen. Hooker and others, followed by a large and brilliant staff appeared on the ground. President Lincoln was escorted in review of our brigade by Gen. Humphreys, Gen. Hooker following in the rear. The President as he rode past our lines appeared pale and haggard, as though the cares of state weighed heavily upon him. He seems to have lost that fresh, ruddy look he bore when he reviewed the army at Sharpsburg. The paleness may, however, been partly caused by the coldness of the prevailing wind. As Honest Able was passing the centre of each regiment, the colors were dipped and three hearty cheers, loud and long, rose from the ranks. They were such cheers as could leave no doubt in the breast of the Nation’s Chief that the hearts of the soldiers are a unit in support of his endeavors to crush out treason. Would to God those cheers could reverberate over hill and through valley until reaching our own dear State, they would fittingly tell those who can find delight only in assailing the Administration how heartily they are despised by the soldiers. Gen. Hooker looks well and much pleased with his army. No man of this army whom we have seen looks so much like a soldier as he, and well may he be pleased, for he has an army of which any general should be proud. Hugh E. Evans and Peter Malhorn who were wounded at Fredericksburg, have returned to the company and are once more on duty. Levi Keith, Thomas Deveraux and Sergt. J. Orlando Brockbank arrived here from the hospital last week, they having been left sick at Sharpsburg, Md. The general health of the company is good. [Signed] E. R. W.

Union League – Mass Meeting A Union League was organized in Wilmore last week on the basis that the interests of our country are paramount to all other considerations. We have not a report of the proceedings but understand that the meeting was well attended and that much enthusiasm prevailed. On next Saturday afternoon, at three o’clock, a mass meeting of the members of the League and all good Union men will be held in Wilmore to give public expression to their sentiments as to the great topics of the day. Judge Shannon of Pittsburg and other distinguished and eloquent speakers will be present and address them. A general invitation is extended to Unionists of other sections to be present. We confidently hope to see a large delegation go down from here. The Badge of Disloyalty We observe sundry gentleman just now sporting “copperhead” and “butternut” breast pins as an evidence of the bravery with which they can confront the loyal sentiment of the community. We beg leave to remind all such that there were those in this country who once wore the black cockade but whose children have never found their memory any the more savory on that account. The day will come, too, when the children of the present race of copperhead traitors will curse the memory of their progenitors and turn with loathing from the record of their traitorous crimes. To the Ladies We are requested to say that a meeting of the ladies of Ebensburg will be held at the Union School House on Friday evening next, 17th inst., to take into consideration the propriety of organizing a society to act in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Sanitary Commission toward the relief of our sick and wounded soldiers in the field. A full attendance is requested. Popularity of the Conscription Law Among the Soldiers The conscription law is as popular among the soldiers as it appears to be unpalatable to the copperheads. A letter from a Brigadier General in command at Murfreesboro says that its passage “electrified” Gen. Rosecrans’ army. Gen. Hooker’s men are of one mind as to its value to the national cause. They declare themselves ready to see to its enforcement in person, if need be. A letter to Senator Wilson from a General stationed at Baton Rouge says: “Its passage and enforcement will certainly end this rebellion in a short space of time. The moral effect of such an act at this time can hardly be overestimated. The people of the South already regard their cause as hopeless to a much greater extent than is imagined; already their conscripts desire nothing so much as to get to their homes; they fight with no heart or hope. What, then, will be their condition when they see their fears realized and that the loyal people of their country really mean to continue the war! ------------------------------------------------------------- DEATHS Clara Amanda Garman and Maggie Bell Garman Died in Ebensburg, 5th inst., Clara Amanda Garman, aged 9 years and 16 days; and on 7th inst., Maggie Bell Garman, aged 5 years, 7 months and 11 days. Two sweet, kind and amiable creatures have thus passed away. Two jewels - shall I say! – are buried beneath the sod. Ah, no! but two precious jewels are taken from their encasements on earth and placed in the bright crown of our Redeemer’s rejoicing. Whilst called to part with our dear ones on earth, it is bliss to know that we shall greet them again in a better world if we be only true to ourselves and true to God. [Signed] W. F. B. Drowned A Welshman, named David Davis of Danville, Montour County, this State, while returning from the Rolling Mill on Saturday night, 4th inst., walked into the canal above the lock and was drowned. His body was recovered from the lock the next day. Davis was a stranger in town and it is supposed he walked into the canal through ignorance of the way he was traveling. His remains were sent back to Danville where he leaves a large family. So we learn from the Johnstown TRIBUNE. Richard Sharp Died in Washington township, this county, on the 8th ultimo, Richard Sharp, aged about 43 years. The deceased leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss. He was a kind father and good citizen and well liked by all who knew him. He served his country with honor during the Mexican War in the capacity of private in the “American Highlanders.” Peace to his ashes! Killed A young man named Emanuel Noon, while felling trees on the farm of his father in Richland township, this county, on the 27th ult., was instantly killed by being caught and crushed by a falling tree. He was aged 22 years. John Eldridge, Jr. John Eldridge, Jr., a member of Co. A, 133d Penna. Vols., died in Division Hospital, Camp Humphries, on the 6th inst. His remains were taken to Johnstown where his father resides and interred on Sunday. By Request The following lines are in the memory of a young soldier who during last summer fell in battle in Missouri. Of a truth, he was one of nature’s noblemen: In Memoriam By Samuel Singleton, Co. A, 133d P. V. Soldier, so true and brave, Rest in they quiet grave; >From strife and turmoil free, Sweet may thy slumbers be. Fresh may the roses bloom Over thy lowly tomb. Soft may the zephyrs blow, And gently fall the snow. It is too hard that you, So noble, brave and true, Should die by Treason’s hand – Treason to our own dear land. But then what other strife Was worthy of thy life, Than that which seeks to quell Dark Treason, born of hell? Thy past thou didst so well, And met thy fate so calm, That of thy life to tell Were to my son! A balm. Worthy the flag that shrouds you, Worthy the praise I give thee; May God’s angels keep thee May their brightness clothe thee. ‘Tis by such lives as thine, Giv’n at our country’s shrine, Our native land must be Kept for posterity.
