Assault and Battert. A colored man named Jack Fayette was before the Mayor, yesterday, to answer a charge of assault and battery on Mary McOrew, also colored, and about sixteen years of age. Jack was committed for court. Alexander's fine band, from Philadelphia, serenaded a number of our leading citizens, last night. The music was excellent.

"The Country Merchant" is the title of a new paper, the first number of which has just been issued at Chamhersburg, by M. A. Foltz, Esq. In point of neatness we have never seen it excelled, and its report of the improvements being made in the town are the most interesting yet published.

Mr. Foltz is "the right man in the rght place," his long experience enabling him to produce a journal unsurpassed in beauty. We wish him abundant success. The Country Merchant is intended for gratuitous circulation, and as an advertising medium has no superior outside of the cities. i Escaped from the Lunatic Asylum.

A young man1 named Martin Overholster, son of John Overholster, of East Earl township, Lancaster county, and who has been under treatment at the State Lunatic Asylum, at Harrisburg, for several months, made his escape from that institution on Wednesday night of last week, under circumstances that give much concern to his friends, as all searchnas ao far proved unavailing. He is about 25 years old, 6 feet 7 inches high? spare in flesh, and light hair. Any information in regard to him will be welcomed by his father and family at Terre Hill post office, Lancaster county. Extension of Gas Pipes. We are gratified to learn that the neonle of West Har risburg, who have thus far been dependent upon coal oil and tallow for the necessary light, are about to be supplied with gas.

The times which have onlv been' laid as far North street, are to be extended to Beily street, and the work of laying the same will be commenced without delay. The excavations are already being made. West Harris burg should have been supplied with gas long ago, but the people of that portion of the city will probably overlook past delinquen cies, in consideration of the fact that they will soon be enabled to lay aside their smok jng lamps and penny dips. Colored Soldiers on the March. The Delanev Guards had a crand street parade, to day, proceeding to Cameron's Woods, where they are holding a pic nic.

The Guards numbered about forty men, fully armed and uniformed, and beaded by a urve drum corps. The men marched with the precision that is so creditable to the soldier, and their parade was highly creditable in every respect. The only military organiza tion in our city is composed of colored men, who own their arms and equipments. Why can't we have one or more white military companies in our city, where there are several hundred returned soldiers? Let it not be said that the colored men are the only patriotic individuals in Harrisburg. Highway Bobbery in Lancaster.

A Lancaster paper of last evening says: "Mr. H. Marliu Afflick, of Philadelphia, arrived in this city by the 1.42 train this morning, and whilst at the depot inquired of a tall stout man'if he could inform him where Hiram Kendig could be found. The man told him that he lived next door to Mr. Ken dig, and would show him the house.

They started off together and went some two squares north on Queen street, and were joined by a third party, who appeared to be acquainted with the guide. Quite unawares Mr. Afflick received a blow behind his ear from a billet and was also struck in the side. He was then told that if he made any noise they would blow his brains out, and a sponge was passed over his mouth and nostrils, after which he was unconscious until about 3 o'clock this morning. When he came to his senses he found that he had been stripped of all his clothing except his drawers, boots and bat, both his shirts were even taken, and $1,200 that he had in a belt and $140 he had in a portemonnaie.

He says he thinks he could recognise the man to whom he spoke and who offered to take him to Kendig' house, but he could not identity the other Infanticide. The Lancaster Intelligencer says that on Sunday afternoon the Coroner was called on to hold an inquest upon the body of a male child, the son of Mary Kiscad den, who lives at Silver Springs. The body of the child was found in a decomposed state in tjie lining of the second story of the house, whera it had been thrown from the earret. It appears from the evidence that on Wednesday last the mother was taken sick but retusea to have a doctor. On Thursday, as she ap peared to grow worse, the friends insisted upon calling in a physician and Dr.

Williams was accordingly sent for. It was the 6pinion of her friends, and also the doctor, that she had given birth to a child, but she denied it, Yesterday the body of the infant was dis covered in the lining of the second story of the house, by the intolerable stench emitted and the collection of flies around the crevices between the boards, from which liquid decom position was oozine out. A post mortem ex amination was made by Drs. Com ton and Williams, who are of the opinion that the child was born alive. The jury rendered verdict in accordance with the facts, and a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the mother.

It appears that the husband of the woman returned home from the army about six months ago, but has since gone away and aesertea nis. wite. How to Make It.

Philadelphia: Perkinpine Higgins. 1866. The war had scarcely closed when the publishers of all the large cities began to issue histories of its events, journals of its marches, battles and bivouacs, and narratives of the personal experience of its officers of every grade, tnewnoie consiHuungamusnui ture which will some day become of the greatest importance in the preparation of that grand history of the great war which is yet to be written Chaplain Gregg devotes eight chapters of his book to a history of his boyhood, conversion by faith in God, entrance to the ministry, a discussion of loyalty, and a reference to the kindness which he personally received from many dear friends. He then pro ceeds to a pleasant, gossipping review of his military experience. He makes no historical pretensions, nevertheless he has grouped in attractive form many important facts and incidents which few readers can peruse and preserve without profit.

As a topic of most interest to our readers, we select that chapter from Life tn the Army containing a personal history of a Dauphin county regiment, as follows THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVENTH PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS. Field Officers. ColW.W. Jennings, who commanded the One Hundred and Twenty seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, is a young man of good judgment, rather quiet in disposition, of few words, decided in his opinions, steady and temperate habits, and possesses a kind heart always making a true friend, there is notning uuueu ui ucotmui found in his noble nature always ready and willing to listen to the complaint of the private soldier, and to extend to him his sympathy and protection. He possessed those pe culiar cnaracienBucB waira i uuot guish a moderman.

While on duty he was Colonel Jennings, but off duty he caused all to feel easy and at home in his presence. Recognizing in ach fellow soldier, he never gave evidence that he considered himself a superior. It was thts particular feature in his character which rendered him so popular with the men of his command. He is calm and self possessed, and as a general thing free from excitement. He is very plain in his dress, entirely free from those manifestations of vanity that stand out so prominently in the character of many of our military officers.

The time spent by many in combing, brushing and dressing, our Colonel spent in studying military tactics, reading, and conversation or enjoying inno cent fun with nis Clerk, nenever you wouiu see a large pipe made out of the root of a tree, with a stem about two feet long, moving about through camp, you might expect to see the Colonel in its rear. When this machine was fired up, you might see great clouds of smoke rolling upward like the mists of the morning. The pipe, in camp, was his intimate friend and companion. The Colonel fared sumptuously every day. He was very careful to see that the wants of his inner man were supplied with provisions of the best quality that the market and circumstances without consulting expense.

He is a young man of industrious habits, but was not the earliest riser in camp, and seemed confident that the sun would rise regularly whether he did or not. If he will excuse me I may inform his friends that many of ns were accustomed to think we had the best looking Colonel in the Army of the Potomac. He is an excellent singer, and had his training in the choir of the Locust Street M. E. Church in the city of Harrisburg, before joining the army; and I might add that his very worthy parents have been members of that church for a number of years.

The fact that he was rocked in the cradle of Methodism, and educated under Methodist influences, is one of the great causes why he stands to day a true and upright man. He seems to have been blessed with natural military abilities, as is proven by the fact that the commanding generals under whom our regiment was placed, manifested great interest in him. They discovered that he had the qualities of a true soldier centered in him hence he was often placed in command of brigades, over colonels older than himself both in years and experience. He was always kind to me, attended public preaching, ana encouraged others to do so. He was brave in battle for although severely wounded in the early part of the first engagement, he kept it concealed from his men, and remained in command until his regiment was ordered off the field and the next day, while in the hospitaL at Fredericksburg, unfit for duty, at a time when there was every prospect of the rebels shelling the city, I tried in vain to convince him of the propriety of his being carried across the river, beyond the range ot the enemy's cannon.

He answered me, Chaptain, I want to remain with the men of my regiment." I need scarcely add to this picture of his character, that he was very popular with the omcers and privates ot his 1 r. .1 1 1 A regiment. Aline ciose oi our lurm oi service, the commissioned officers presented him with a costly silver service as a token of our esteem. We also presented nis iitue son, voionei Jennings, with a beautiful silver memento, hoping at the same time that he might live to become as distinguisned as nis latner. 1 1 i UOI.

Jennings is a nauve mm resiuem oi Harrisburg, and is a citizen of whom that city may well be proud. JLieutenant Uoionei a. u. Aiieman is a young man ot marKea aointy as a public speaker, and a lawyer oi great energy, aeter contributed greatly to his success in lite as a public man. It matters very little what op position may coniront mm, his indomitable will and untiring perseverance enable him to surmount it.

He was truly the working man of our regiment, doing much of the public writing. He was always ready and willing to write for, or aid in any way possible, the officers or enlisted men of the regiment who might desire his services. He was not off duty one day during the first four months of i TT I our term 01 service, xie uus an ooiiging, kind disposition but is a man of strong pre judice, very emphatic in his language, and decided in his opinions, tie was a strict disciplinarian, and a vegetarian in his diet, not even drinking coffee or tea at his meals. Me never drinks intoxicating liquors of any kind. anfl may be considered a true friend of the cause of temperance.

He proved himself to be an efficient and brave officer in each of the great battles. It will be remembered that during the last battle he was struck with a piece ot shell and knocked on his horse. The colonel of the regiment requested me to convey him off the field, but he refused to go with me, saying he wished to remain with the regiment. He is very gay in his dress, and in that particular excelled any of our officers. He is a man that enjoys a good joke, and is full of fun, often seeing objects to laugh at that others would pass by unnoticed.

He was very kind to me, and attended public preaching, encouraging others to do so. The privates of the regiment presented him with a very costly and handsome sword at the expiration of our term of service, as a token of their esteem. The following joke is told of him One day, while he and another officer were returning from battalion drill across the Chain Bridge, the guard informed him that a person whom they considered a spy, bad just passed, dressed In woman's apparel: our lieutenant colonel spurred his fine cream colored steed, moving forward with his companion in hot pursuit, at the rate of forty two on a plank road, bey had concluded it would be a big thing to capture a spy: but lo and behold, the supposed spy turned out to be a lady, and she got beyond our lines before being captured by her pursuers The colonel will excuse me if I inform the ladies of Har risburg that although he failed to make a capture then, he is still continuing the pursuit. May he soon succeed in capturing, not a rebel female spy, but one of the fair daughters of the Keystone State as the future Mrs. H.

C. Alleman, and may he realize that there is more pleasure in the possession, than even in pursuit on horseback. He is also a resident of the city of Harrisburg. Major J. Rohrer was a quiet, self possessed man, kind and sociable, temperate in his habits, and decided in his opinions.

He dis played good judgment, and proved himself to be a worthy, efficient and brave officer, performing his duties with faithfulness and success. He made many friends among the private soldiers, by franking their, letters, and other acts of kindness shown them. If the Major will pardon me, I might add that in the opinion of many he was considered a very fine looking officer. Residence, Middletown, Pennsylvania. Stafc Officers.

He made a very good Adjutant. 1 his young officer was in the habit of exercising vocal organs in such a musical style, that passing his tent he often caused many of us halt and listen with pleasure and delight to melodious voice, and the charming vocal music he discoursed to our great edification.

Captain J. Wesley Awl, commanding Company is an intelligent, Christian young man, a good public speaker, an able lawyer, and a very efficient officer, possessing fine military abilities. He a man of few words, of a very quiet disposition, ef unassuming manners, and Very plain his dress. He is the calmest and most self possessed man that I ever met entirely free from excitement in the hour of danger, never a hurry, but always in time. The Captain displayed a great amount ot coolness, sen possession, undaunted courage and bravery each of the battles in which our regiment was engaged.

He was very popular with the men of his company, although a strict disciplinarian. He assisted me in holding and sustaining my religious meetings, more than any other officer of the regiment. He stood me as Chaplain only as a faithful Christian could, being ready at all times to assist and encourage bv his influential presence the work doing good 'among men. I pronounce him model young man, and think he deserves the sincere thanks of all the parents, sisters and brothers of the privates of our regiment, for the noble stand he took in favor of morality and religion during our term of service. Were you to meet a man passing quietly about through camp, keenly but unostentatiously observing everything occurring around him, with his pantaloons stuck inside his boots, a very broad brimmed, low crowned slouch hat on his head, stepping along with great stolidity on the heel of his boots, and the inevitable pipe in his mouth, you might very readily conclude him to be the original Captain J.

W. Awl. I often visited him in his tent, and always found him quietly enjoying himself, heels higher than his head, in reading and smoking. If the Captain will pardon me, I will say that in and out of his tent, in all his movements, he reminded me of a confirmed bachelor. Residence, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Captain James Henderson, commanding Company is a kind, gentlemanly man, very intelligent, and an excellent medical officer. He took good care of the men of his company, and was very brave upon. the battle field attended public preaching, and gave his influence in favors of others doing so.

Greenawalt, commanding Company is a man of very steady habits and entirely free from any exhibition of vanity in his dress. The capain is what many would call a rough and ready man, just the kind of men we need to command our armies. The many starched up, kid glove, and band box officers of our army, have proven to be a great nuisance, from a want of mind, heart, and preparation for the work of putting down the rebellion. We need rough and ready men to command, as well as in the ranks. 1 have often been amused at the manifestations of pride on the part of many of the officers of our army, unu couciuueu iimi jine aress and making a great show would conquer a peace, there has been enough of it exhibited toputdown twenty rebellions.

Green await is a Christian gentleman of large experience, having traveled through California and many other parts of the country.

He attended divine worship and assisted me iu my work.

Captain John R. Shott, commanding Company is a gentlemanly man, and commanded his company with ability and success.

He was on detached duty the greater part of the time of service. His only son and only child, who was a member of his company, died during our term of service. This great loss almost broke the captain's heart. Residence, Middletown, Pennsylvania. Captain C.

A. Nissley, commanding Company by promotion, is a fine looking, gentlemanly young man of soldierly bearing an intelligent, brave and efficient officer. Under his command, Company I improved in drill and appearance. He attended public preaching, and influenced others to do. All I could say would be in the captain's favor.

Residence, Pennsylvania. Captain J. W. Dougherty, commanding Company by promotion, is a young man of intelligence, very lively in his disposition. and full of animation.

He was very gay in his dress, always wearing a large feather in his hat, from which one would conclude that he was rather a fast young man but I cannot admit the correctness of the conclusion. In one particular he was very much like our Colonel, that 'is, he was very fond of good living. This young captain made a very efficient officer, and succeeded well in his work. If he will excuse me, I will say that the same remark I have heard made about Captains Greenawalt, Awl, Nissley and Keene, I have heard expressed in his, namely, that the young ladies of the far famed Keystone State ought to enter their solemn protest against either of them living any longer in the state of single blessedness.

I have done because in my sincere judg ot Pa. Pa. of of all to in a ment there never was a more worthy corps of officers placed in command of any regiment men.

Company H. in and around Middletown, Company in Lebanon and Adams coun ties, Pa. Company in Lebanon and Schuylkill counties, Pa. In speaking of the privates of the One Hundred and Twenty Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, I am happy to be able to testify in their favor as a body. I would remark, first, lhey were intelligent above tne av erage, as is proven by the fact that in one company there were eleven school teachers and three lawyers, and each of the others had quite a large proportion of very intelligent men.

Secondly, They were a noble minded body men, the most of whom were incapable of performing a mean act. Thirdly. They were men of good moral character and respectability at home. Many the best families of Dauphin, Lebanon, and Adams counties were represented in our regiment. Fourthly, They were temperate in their habits; for I never saw but three of their number under the influence of intoxicating liquors during our term of service.

I desire the cowardly sympathizers with armed rebellion, that remained at home to aid the rebels, to learn that they belie and slander the noble private soldiers of our army when they pronounce them a body of drunkards. I take great pleasure in informing the enemies of the private soldiers of our army that, if they wish find drunkards, they may look at home, and they will find countless multitudes in civil life, and increase the number by including themselves. It is a well known fact that the great majority of the enemies of our glorious cause at home, are those drunken, degraded wretches, that seldom, if ever, draw a sober breath. They, therefore, should cease to accuse the private soldier of that for which nine tenths of them are not guilty. Fifthly, They were brave in battle; having fought for their country and her cherished institutions with becoming manliness and courage.

Sixthly, Many of them, were Christians, and united with us in our "Christian body" camp. I would again inform the enemies of our soldiers at home that they slander the great multitudes of Christian men in our armies when they declare that none can live Christian life when there. I assert that the men who say so could not live as Christians themselves, for lack of brains, courage, and decision of character. Many of the most pious men of the land were to be found in the army among the jsivate soldiers for, with many others of my regiment, I can testify that we never attended church so frequently, or served God so faithfully at home, as we did when far from home and friends. A common want of divine assistance drove us to the mercy seat.

I firmly believe that our soldiers in the army serve God more faithfully than many who make loud professions of Christianity at home. At the close of our term of service I was unenimously recommended by the commissioned officers to the President for a re appointment in the army as chaplain. They in this way testified to my efficiency, and manifested their appreciation of my labors. I would inform my brother officers that I heard Colonel Jennings declare, a few moments before we were mustered out of service, that he had never seen cause to regret having made any of his appointments. This I consider a high compliment to all who obtained their appointments through his influence.

In conclusion, I would say to all the officers and privates of our regiment who may read this sketch, that I shall ever retain a kind regard for them, and, with the feelings of a friend, I would request all who are not Christians to give their hearts to Christ the Lord. To those who are followers of Christ I would say, Dear brethren in the Lord, as we had so many glorious religious meetings together while in camp in tents below, let us all live true to God, the Church, and each other, so that if we never all meet on earth, we may finally meet in heaven, to part no more. Officers and privates of my late regiment, may God bless you. Farewell. Chaplain Gregg's book is for sale at Berg ner's cheap bookstore.

Pious Sugar Plums. Mrs. Ritchie writes from London as follows: Have the pious sugar plums found their way across the Atlantic? The London bonbon lovers are making an outcry against these spiritually medicated sugar plums, imported from Paris, and declare that the zealous promulgators of religion who started this original movement are not aware of the extent to which such a clumsy device will prejudice the minds of the young and irreligious to all ideas of real and practical piety.

It seems that a society which, calls itself L' Ave nin de la Jeunesse, has arranged with sundry Parisian bonbon manufacturers to put in their dainties short extracts from approved religious books, andtextsfrom Scriptures. It is rather curious that this awkward propagation of morality should have been started in a city where the people are peculiarly alive to a sense of the ludicrous and appropriate.

But have you not met with many a reverse through some one disappointing you? Have you not, at certain periods in life, had your heart and mind fixed upon some coming event, and about the time you expected a harvest of joy you gathered that of disappointment. Have you not endeavored to penetrate the mysterious future to find out if you were to be fortunate in your undertakings? Have you not at times imagined yourself forsaken by those in wfcom you placed all confidence, and have you not felt particularly disappointed when you desired a love of a dress, or a skirt or a belt, or some article of wearing apparel, and could not get it? If you have, allow me to assure you that there is no need for you to suffer any longer, as Mr. A. Lochman has on hand a fine assortment of all kinds of dress and he assures his customers generally that he has the goods to please them, and all who give him a call at his store, No. 12 Market Square, will not be disappointed, as they will find everything in the dry goods line they may desire.

Yours, Ac, JNO. WALKER JACKSON, Pastorof the Locust Street Methodist Church.

maylH dw6m Reasons Why tne AMERICAN WATCH, Made at Waltham, IS THE BEST. It is made on the best principle. Its frame is composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can interfere with the harmony of its working and no sudden shock can damage its lEachinery. Every piece is made and finished by machinery (itself famous for its novelty, as well as for its effectiveness) and is, threfore, properly made.

The watch is what all mechanism should be ACCURATE. SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Excapt some high grades, too costly for general use, foreign watches arc chiefly made by women and boys. Such watches are composed of several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together, and require constant repairs to keep them in any kind of order. All persons who have carried "ancrcs," le pines" and "English Patent Levers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of this statement.

At the beginning of our enterprise, more than ten years ago, it was our first object to make a thoroughly good low priced watch for the million, to take the place of these foreign impositions the refuse of foreign fdctories which were entirfly unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless everywhere. How well we have accomplished this may be un derstood from the fact, that after so many years of public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever givea such unive sal satisfaction. While this department of our business is continued with in creased facilities for perfect work, we are at present engaged in the manufacture of watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONOME TRY, unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything made in the word. For this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We have, erected an addition to our main buildings expressly for this branch of our business, and have filled it with the best workmen in our service.

New machines and appliances have been constructed, which perform their work with consummate delicacy and exactness. The choicest and most approved materials only are used, and we challenge comparison between this grade of our work and the finest imported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell our watches for less money than foreign watches, but we do as3ert, without fear of contradiction, that for the same money our product is incomparably superior. All our watches, of whatever grade, are fully warranted and his warrantee is good at all times against us or our agents in all parts of tho world. CAUTION.
