Boys, beware of taking anything that does not belong to you. return our thanks to J. Newton, Commissioner of the Patent Office, for a copy of his Report for the year 1861. -Market, yesterday morning, was well attended. Prices were firm, with an upward dency, chickens sold at prices ranging from 30 to 60 cents a pair; butter, 18 cents, eggs, 17 cents apples, 30 to 40 cents per bushel; pears, extra specimens were sold by Mr.

SURGICAL We learn that very delicate and not often successful surgical tion, has lately been performed upon the person of Michael Harner, by Dr. Philip D. Marshal, of this city.

It consisted in removing one- of cancerous upper jaw-bone, of three years standing. The patient, we are glad to learn, is doing well and under the care of his skillful surgeon is in fair way to speedily recover. -Thirty-four applications for citizenship were made in our Court yesterday. -two of the new made citizens are dents of Sobuylkill County. They made their applications for naturalisatoin bore, because the Court in Schaylkill County will not be in session before the election, and they therefore could not be naturalized there in time to give them a right to vote on next Tuesday.

They were accompanied by their counsel and witnesses, and all Irishmen. THE ELECTION. -But for the politicians, out people would not find out that we are to have an election next week. But there being some spoils to share, the hungry are fighting for them, and will continue to keep up a sort of guerilla fight until after Tuesday next. We want the people to understand, bowever, that the country is getting better--in fact is becoming quite strong again.

HAVE THE ARNY A RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE CoMING ELECTION is a strong feeling in the army that the soldiers have a right to vote in the ensuing election. They naturally ask, why should they be deprived of their votes for their patriotio devotion in fighting the battle of the Union, while men at home, who would not risk their lives in the cause, may, by their votes overthrow the very principles for whioh the patriot soldiers are shedding their blood? The State Legislatures ought to have given the necessary authority. In the Eoutbren States the soldiers bare been permitted to vote at the election a. Why not in the North? If the constitution ought to be suspended for any. it is in this case, and some provision ought to be made whereby our troops may vote upon the vital questions now pending, which affect the destinies of the country.

On the 3rd we were reviewed by Prost. Lincoln and brave little Mao and you should have beard the cheers that went up as they passed along the line.

If you had you too would have been proud to be able to say, "1 am a soldier of the army of the Potomac" for such confidence was never repos. ed in one individual as the army bas in Gen. Geo B. McClellan, and well be deserves it for a more able general never commanded men. Our Regiment has been filled up to 204 men by the return of men from Hospitale, who were sick and those who were slightly wounded on the Rap pabannook and 2nd Bull Run, so we begin to turn out pretty large for an old regiment.

TO EDITOR DAILY TIMES -DEAR am at short furlough, on account of sick ness Reading, on a and have heard with sarprise and indignation that there are individuals base enough to be whispering mecret insinuations against Major Joel B. Wanner; and that too, by fellows who never smelled powder and will take care to keep their skins out of danger. Now Sir I have to say that with the Berks County boys of the 128th Regiment, I was with Major Wanner, during the whole of Wednesday of the bloody fight cf Antietam. After a hurried tiresome march, we had but a few hours repose when at Ave o'clock in the morning we were aroused and marched at double quick to support a battery and to drive back the rebels. And we did it.

From sunrise until two o'clock, we were under fire. In the beginning I saw our Colonel fall shot dead from his horse, and grasped by his Lieut. Colonel and Adjutant Our Lieut. Colonel was wounded. Then Major Wanner took command of the Regiment.

Capt. Andrews and many an other noble fellow abet dead. But with volley after volley, and charge upon charge, we maintained our ground and drove the rebels back through that long and bloody day. Through all that fight, while cannon balls and shells, and bullets were flying thick and fast, and amid desperate hand-to-hand thickest nflicts, of our brave Mai.Joel B. Wanner and was ever in the his it, bravely encouraging cheering on men and sharing with them every danger.

I have a right to speak, for I saw Major Wanner every hour of that day; and when the boys of the 128th come home they will orneb the falsehoods down the throats of the liars who dare to slander him If such are the thanks soldiers are to get, it is time they should know it If any person wants any further satisfaction he can get it by calling on me at Ganser's Mo- tel in Reading, where I shall be for a few days.

HESSLES, E8Q EDITOR OF TEL READING AdLER." Learning that some difficulty and misunderstanding in consequence of the publication of a letter in your paper on the 7th day of October 1862, over the signature of Jeel B. Wanner, announcing the withdrawal of his name from the canvas as a candidate for Congress, I deem it due to you to make brief statement of facts. On the 3d of October, 1802, I visited my brother at his camp in Maryland, and after a full consultation with bim en the subject of his being a candidate for Congress in Berks county, he authorized and directed me, on return to Reading, to withdraw his name from the canvas, if, after consultation with his friends they approved of the same. Immediately after my return to Reading I had an interview with those persons, they con cared with me fully in the propriety of withdrawing his name, and in accordance therewith I drew up a card which is the same that appeared in the on the 7th day of October, signed my brother's name to it, as I was authorised to do by him -unintentionally imitating it so closely that you might have been easily deceived, and on seeing it again, not knowing the stances, I might have pronounced it genuine myselfand sent it to the "Adler? office with the request that it might be published on the 7th day of October, in said paper. It is proper that I should add, that I called on the Editor of the "Adler" on the morning of the 5th of October, informing him that I expected to send him such a card on the follewing morning, and requesting him to leave room for its appearance.

He replied that he would. On the morning of the 6th of October and a couple of hours after I had sent the card for publication, some of the gentlemen with whom I was instructed to consalt by my brother on the subject of his withdrawal called upon me, and said that they had changed their minds, and that they were now opposed to the withdrawal of the name of Joel B. Wanner as candidate for Congress, requesting me to withhold the publication of the card of withdrawal. I informed them that I had already sent it, and at their request I wrote a note to the Editor of the "Alder" requesting him not to publish the card and return it by the bearer--the answer returned by the bearer of the note--was, that the card was already in type.

Charles Kessler VOTERS REMEMBER THAT The secessionists of Borks have been plotting to have the name of Joel B. Wanner withdrawn. They are as much afraid of Union soldiers in the election contest as their Southern friends are of Union soldiers on the battle deld. With Wanner for your leader, charge upon them on Tuesday next, and you will scatter the enemy as McClelian did at Antietam and Rosencrans at Corinth. Major Wanner is ignorant of the efforts made here to destroy him.
