Sunbury American, Saturday, March 22, 1862 Milton Bank - Our Milton neighbors have converted their savings bank into a bank of issue, under the general banking law, and by a recent act of Assembly the name has been changed to that of the Milton Bank. The canals having been opened, the coal trade will become more brisk. Our operators have been laboring under great disadvantages for want of facilities in getting their coal to market. The nominations of Drs. D. B. McCOY of Northumberland, and J. D. STRAWBRIDGE of Danville, as Brigade Surgeons, have been confirmed by the Senate. The Canals - The water was admitted into the Union canal on Saturday. The Susquehanna canal, north of the junction, will open navigation about the 25th inst. The Juniata canal will open about the 1sr of April. The Tide Water canal will be open and in navigable order by the 20th inst. The rebel Congress has passed a resolution advising the planters not to plant cotton, but to devote their energies to raising provisions and cattle. Our learned friend of the Democrat, a few weeks since, published the following fling at Gen. CAMERON:- “Thad STEVENS calls CAMERON’s appointment to the Russian Mission ‘banishment to Liberia.” Our neighbor no doubt referred to Siberia, which is a part of the Russian Empire. We think we shall have to furnish Truman with a Geography, as well as a Spelling book. Liberia is on the African coast, the name of a colony of liberated Negroes. His mind must have been wandering and wool gathering. Our offer to furnish neighbor PURDY, of the Democrat, with a copy of Cobb’s Spelling Book, has not been met with a very gracious reception. He endeavors to excuse the necessity of its use by referring us to a number of typographical errors in our last issue, the proof of which was hastily read. This Judge won’t answer neighbor PURDY. We did not refer to typographical errors, which are the result of carelessness in the proof-reader, and not errors of judgment, and of which there is always a variety in the Democrat. It is however, rather amusing that the first error referred to by the learned Truman as ours, should be his own, namely: “It keeps all the rascally foreign produces from”, which was a verbatim extract from his own paper of Feb. 21st, and which reads: “It keeps all rascally foreign produces from ruining the country &c.” We thought at the time that it was a profoundly muddled and inelegant expression, but these are so common in the Democrat that we no longer deem them singular. As for blunders and errors, they are of weekly occurrence. Even the last issue, pointing out our own typographical errors, is dated the 4th on one side, and the 14th on the other. Col. CAMERON The remains of Col. CAMERON, the late gallant Colonel of the N.Y. Seventy Ninth Regiment, who fell at the head of his regiment at the Battle of Bull Run, passed through this place on Monday night last to Lewisburg, where they were interred with due honors the next day. The remains were accompanied by his brother, Ex Secretary CAMERON, and others of his relatives and friends. A number of our citizens, friends and relatives of Col. CAMERON, who have long known and esteemed him, attended his funeral. The body was accompanied by a military escort from Washington. The body of Col. CAMERON was recovered on Saturday last at Manasses. The remains were placed in a coffin at Washington covered with black cloth, and were conveyed to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad depot. The coffin was placed in a hearse drawn by four white horses, and had a handsome American flag thrown over it. The Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania Regiment acted as a funeral escort, marching with reversed arms, the regimental band playing the Dead March. Eight officers of various regiments acted as pall bearers, and the mourners followed the hearse to carriages. The coffin, which was ordered before the party started to recover the remains, consists of an interior case of zinc, another of lead, with an exterior wooden case, covered with black cloth, handsomely finished and mounted with silver. Major J. C. KRETSCHMAN of the 103d Regiment N.Y.V., Major ELLIOTT, Paymaster U.S. Army, Capt. ELLIOTT, Mr. KANE, Mr. Oakes SMITH, ex-Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, and a guard of eight privates were detailed to accompany the remains. The funeral ceremonies took place on Tuesday last, from the residence of Wm. CAMERON, Esq., a brother of the deceased, at Lewisburg. His remains were followed to the grave by an immense crowd of citizens and strangers. At 12 o’clock, n., public religious ceremonies were conducted by Rev. P. RIZER, of Sunbury, Chaplain of the Regiment formerly commanded by Col. CAMERON, in which he was assisted by the resident clergy of Lewisburg. Mr. RIZER spoke in terms of just eningy(?) of the dead, alluding to his intercourses with him in the camp, on the march and in the battle, during which he ever exhibited the noble ardor of the soldier combined with the humane impulses of the man and the Christian. The funeral cortege under command of Major J. C. KRETSCHMAN, 103d N. Y. V., was then formed as follows: Union County Calvary, Captain SIMONTON, Music - Muncy Brass Band, Commissioned Officers Pall Bearers Hearse Pall Bearers Commissioned Officers The hearse was drawn by Four Black Horses, each led by a groom.
