A member of the Indiana company at WAshington, sends his friends at home a request which, we think, should be published to show the friends of soldiers, generally, what they might do to increase their comfort. He writes that they have very little change of diet in their camp fare. "Every day, it is the same; --bread, meat, coffee and bean soup. If you can dry us some elderberries, corn, tomatoes or anything of that sort, and tell all the folks who have generous hearts to send us some of these things; they would be very acceptable. A little butter, when the weather gets cooler, would be very pleasant...." JOHN RICE, Greenville, 27th Sept, '61. MARRIED. At Indiana on the 3d inst., by Rev. A. McElwaine, MR.

ALTMAN left this place with a company of sixty men to be attached to COL. M'KNIGHT'S regiment, now in the vicinity of Washington city. The company is composed of men from Indiana and Jefferson counties and were a fine-looking body of men. CAPT. ALTMAN deserves credit for the manner in which he got up his army. Should this company get into an engagement, they will find the tall figure of their Captain in the midst of the battle with them. LITTLE JACK McCLAIN went as drummer to this company. Although JACK is but a boy, he is "hard to beat" on a drum. A good Captain and a good drummer are things this company can boast of. MARRIED. At Indiana, on the 8th inst., by the Rev. A. McElwain, MR.

Chestnuts appear to be abundant this season wherever the chestnut tree growns. We have heard the crop within the bounds of this country estimated at 15,000 bushels. This estimate we think extravagantly high; but if the crop should reach 5,000 bushels, it will be valuable, equal at least to that many bushels of wheat. DIED.

On Sabbath last the house of MR. JAMES M'FEETERS, of Cherryhill, took fire whilst most of the family were at church, and before assistance came the roof had fallen in and the building soon burned to the ground. Very little of the furniture was saved. We understand the property was insured. INFANTICIDE. On last Sunday this inhuman crime was again committed in our borough. A small boy alledged that he heard the cries of an infant in a privy pit near Mahoning street. An exam was immediately made and the body of a new born female child found, but life was extinct. G.P. REED, ESQ., summoned an inquest and Drs. St. Clair and Barr made a post-mortem examination. The heart and lungs were skillfully removed and subjected to the hydrostatic and other tests. The inquest found upon to them, satisfactory evidence, that said child was born alive; that it had been placed there by the unnatural mother, and that it died for want of proper attention. HUGE CABBAGE. On last Thursday, MR. ROBERT CRAWFORD, of this place sent to our office, a cabbage which measured 49 inches in circumference and weighed 26 pounds. MR. C. informed us that he had another which weighed 23 pounds; and one when trimmed weighed 18 1/2 pounds. These huge specimens on the cabbage plant are part of a lot of two hundred, raised by MR. C. and which is thought by those who have seen them, would average about 18 pounds, making an aggregate weight of 3600 pounds. They were raised among early potatoes, having been planted between the rows and as the potatoes were dug up the cabbage was hoed. If there is anybody who can show a better yield of vegetables from the same amount of land than MR. CRAWFORD we should like to know it. ROBERT not only raises big cabbage, but also makes promptly good boots and shoes. He has our thanks for the huge specimens of the species brassica sent us. --On the 2d by Rev. J.C. Telford, MR.

THOMPSON, of North Mahoning township, met with a serious accident. He and a number of other young men, who were attending the "husking," started to run through a corn field, when MR. THOMPSON fell and broke one of his legs about midway between the knee and hip-joint. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. MAN KILLED. On last Thursday about 4 o'clock, as the evening train on the Branch was going South, a man named JAMES BEATTY was run over by the cars near Reed's Station. The deceased had been in town during the early part of the day, and became intoxicated, and attempted to walk between the rails to his home three miles down the road. As the engineer neared the station he blew the whistle and looked back to get the signal from the conductor if he had passengers for the station, and on turning around he discovered the man within about thirty yards lying on the track. He immediately whistled down the brakes and reversed the engine, but it was too late--the train passed over the unfortunate man, crushing him badly; his bowels and liver being torn out and strewn along the road, and the body litterally [sic] cut in two above the hips. JAMES E. COULTER, ESQ., immediately summoned a jury and hastened to the spot, attended by Dr. St. Clair, who made a post mortem examination and dressed up the body. After the examination had been made and testimony taken, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts above stated. No blame whatever is attached to the company of the employees on the train. This is the first accident of the kind that has ever occured on the Branch between this place and Blairsville. MARRIED.

A few minutes later, he was seen standing in the road by a MR. DIXON, to whom he beckoned; but as MR. D. approached he ran into the house, and fell down.
