The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, May 8, 1862 Volume 3, Number 33 NEWS Cut His Throat We learn from the Harrisburg TELEGRAPH that an old soldier named Samuel Routh, one of the “Silver Grays,” while laboring under the influence of liquor, attempted to commit suicide in Harrisburg one night last week by cutting his throat. The result of his effort has not transpired. At Home John Lister, a private in Co. C, 19th regular infantry who was wounded in the leg at the battle of Pittsburg Landing is now at home in Jackson township, this county, on furlough. His wound is painful but not dangerous. Promoted Robert Jones, formerly of this place, who enlisted as a private in the 12th regular infantry during the winter, has been promoted to a Lieutenancy. Bully for him!

This somewhat celebrated company, composed principally of men averaging sixty years of age from this county who have been performing guard duty at Camp Curtin and the State Arsenal at Harrisburg during the past winter were mustered out or the United States service on Wednesday of last week. The order to this effect came direct from the War Department. We are not informed as to the prime cause of this singular procedure but presume it must have been all sufficient, at least in the eyes of “the powers that be.” We may be pardoned for saying, however, that it strikes us as being exceeding bad policy to have authorized the formation of this company and accepted their services only, after the trouble and expense of organizing had been experienced, to cut loose from them altogether. Cannot our friend and correspondent, “High Private,” shed a few rays of light on the subject through the medium of communication? Honors to Pennsylvania Regiments The following order was issued from the Headquarters of the Pennsylvania militia last week: [General Order No. 21] Harrisburg, April 30, 1862 In acknowledgement of the gallantry of the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Infantry, Pennsylvania volunteers, Colonel F. S. Stambaugh, commanding at Shiloh, Tennessee, and of the First Regiment of Cavalry, Pennsylvania volunteers, Colonel George D. Bayard, commanding at Falmouth, Va., it is ordered that “Shiloh, April 7th, 1862,” shall be inscribed on the flag of the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Infantry and that “Falmouth, April 18th, 1862” be inscribed on the flag of the First Regiment of Cavalry and that this order be read at the head of all the regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers. By order of A. G. Curtin Gov. and Commander-in-Chief DEATHS Sad Accident An accident of a shocking nature occurred near Carrolltown, this county, on Thursday of last week, by which a brother of the religious order of Saint Benedict was killed. It appears that the unfortunate man had occasion to visit a coal bank on the premises of the fraternity and while inside a huge mass of coal became detached from the main body and falling upon him, crushed him to death. When discovered, life was extinct, and it is supposed that death had ensued almost instantly. Wm. W. Ivory Again We are gratified to learn that this gentleman, a notice of whose death in battle prematurely appeared in these columns some weeks since, has been promoted to a Lieutenancy for gallant conduct at the battle of Pittsburg Landing. Mr. I. was originally a native of this county and he has many friends here who will be glad to hear this announcement of his preferment. Success attend him, say we! _________________________________________________________________ Access your email online and on the go with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_access_112008
