The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, November 7, 1861 Volume 3, Number 7 Wounded A citizen of this county, Mr. Peter Kaylor of Co. F., Col. Geary’s regiment was slightly wounded in the head in the recent skirmish near Harper’s Ferry. He was not much hurt. Promotions Lt. Col. Porter of the 11th Penna. Reserves, having resigned on account of ill health, a change has necessarily been effected in the complexion of the field officers of that regiment. The former Major of the regiment, Jackson, is promoted to the position of Lieutenant Colonel and Capt. Litzinger of the Cambria Guards, takes his place as Major. We are not advised as to what other changes may have been made. Capt. Litzinger is an Ebensburg man and we feel proud of the honor conferred upon him in this instance. He will prove himself worthy of it. Since writing the above, we learn that Andrew Lewis, former 1st Lieutenant of the Cambria Guards, has been promoted to the Captaincy; Robert A. McCoy former 2d Lieutenant to the 1st Lieutenancy; and James Burke, private, elected to the 2d Lieutenancy. The Johnstown Counterfeiters During the past couple of weeks, a considerable portion of the time of the U. S. District Court, now in session at Pittsburg, was occupied in the trial of the Johnstown counterfeiters. The case of Elijah Fuller consumed some three days and was brought to a conclusion on Thursday, when the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The case of Daniel Goughenour who was found guilty at the last term but obtained a grant for a new trial was continued until next session. The only remaining case of the batch, that of Joseph Shoemaker, was indefinitely postponed, by reason of the fact that the Defendant is non est comeatible. He has enlisted in Capt. Williams’ company and is now probably in Indianapolis Local Military Matters The several companies composing the Cambria County Regiment, now at Camp Curtin, are rapidly filling up and their full complements will soon be obtained. This regiment will be the first to receive marching orders from that point and those desiring to “see service” shortly should enlist in it forthwith. The field officers, Col. Campbell, Lt. Col. McDermitt and Maj. Linton are practical military men, the Colonel and Major having served in the three months’ campaign and the Lt. Colonel in the Mexican war. They are widely known throughout the entire county and possess in the fullest degree the respect and confidence of the people. The “Frosty Sons” could not possibly find a better field for the display of their patriotism than in the ranks of this regiment. Company F of Col. Geary’s regiment is formed by the merging of two parts of companies, hailing respectively from Gallitzin, this county, and Allegheny county. The officers are as follows: Captain Jos. B. Copeland of Allegheny; First Lieutenant David Mills of Cambria; Second Lieutenant Caleb Greenwalt of Allegheny; First Sergeant Peter Kaylor of Cambria. At latest accounts they were stationed at Point of Rocks, Maryland. A squad of some ten or twelve men left this place for Pittsburg on Monday to fill up the ranks of Capt. Williams’ 19th regular infantry company. They were all from this vicinity. This regiment is expected to be attached to Gen. Sherman’s (formerly Anderson’s) command in Kentucky. The ranks of the “Silver Grays,” we understand have been almost filled to the maximum standard. We believe no definite time has been arraigned for the departure of the company for the field of glory. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/
