The Temptations and Dangers of the Camp


These words will not reach many who have
volunteered to fight for their country, but they
will reach some, and more, perhaps, of those
who will do so at some early future time. 1t
would be a sad result Of this war, and great
misfortune, if those who have so nobly stepped
forward for their country's defence should, after
having fought their battles, return to their
homes polluted in morals, addicted to liquor,
broken down in health by vicious practices, and
untitled to resume the peaceful aypcations of
life. Removed from home and the restraints
of the society Of women, with many idle hours
to be passed in some way, with monotony to be
broken up by some practical measures, and
with constant desire for excitement, it will be
very hard for young men to resist temptation
to vicious indulgences in the various ways in
which they present themselves to the soldier
Now it should be the definite aim and determi-
nation of every man who enlists in this war to
bring his mind and body out of it unpolluted-
to return to his home at last il he is permitted
to do so, as good, as pure and as healthy as
when he left it. OF course, we refer SIMPLY 70

PUT IN THE SEED-However other pursuits
may suffer, farming will be good business this
year. War makes a great demand for food +,
and diminishes the production of it. Every
thing that can be eaten will command high
prices. and the farmers should take advantage
Of the time to get all that they can out of the
land. Hard work now will be rewarded by
hard dollars when the crops are gathered. The
supply of early vegetables from the south will
be cut off, and as soon as any crop is ready for
the market, it will find plenty Of purchasers
and the great crop will be in full demand, and
at high prices. So, put in the seed.

ARMY-HYMN.

"OH HqHdred"
o Lord Of Hosts! Almighty King
Behold the sacrifice We bring
To every arm Thy strength iinpart
Thy spirit shed through every heart!
Wake in our breasts the living frcs,
The holy faith that warmed our sires;
Thy hand hath made our Nation free;
To die for her is serving Thee.
Re Thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe;
And when the battle tuhGers loud,
Still guide US in its moving cloud.
God of NIL Natiousl Sovereign Lord!
In Thy dread name we draw the sword,
We lit the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky.
From treason's rent, from murders stain
Guard Thou It's folds till Peace shall reign,-
Til fort and field, till shore and sea
Join our loud anthem, PRAISE TO THEE!

Ourioslties Of Evidence.

The question whether any one was killed by
the firing from Sumter has become important
from the persistent hardihood and pertinacity
with which some of the Northern journals adj
here to statements of great slaughter with ap-
parently satisfactory references to names and
particulars. Slaughter, Or even utter extermi-
nation of the attacking force was desired by
the North, and we doubt not was fervently
prayed for, as such incarnate demons pray.
With reference 20 the authors and or ginal
reporters Of these tales, we must in charity say
that there is some slight excuse for their first
statements, and that we need not conclude that
they were wilfully fabricated.
Some frightened non-combatants and fugi-
tives who fled from the neighborhood of Fort
Moultrie after the first few rounds, brought
fearfuly harrassing tales of slaughter. The ru-
mors OF course grew, and before the first mes
sage had arrived from the fort, rumor had kill
ed more men than were in the fort.
Some persons who heard these rumors, in all
probability left the city before the truth was as
certaned
Whatever explanation may be given, howev-
er, of the first thick, flying and unfounded ru-
mors which always go abroad from an action of
this kind there is no excuse for the editors 1t
is their duty and privilege to investigate and
inquire, and they have for some weeks now en- =
joyed full opportunities for ascertaining the
truth
The truth is that no one was killed and no
one seriously wounded in or near any of the
forts or batteries which opened against Fort
Sumter, and the only loss of life that attended
the bombardment and surrender of Sumter was
that caused by Major Andersons i'll timed and
ill-omened salute.-CharIestoH Courier.

Miscellaneous War Items.

President Lincoln declared to prominent gen.
temen, Thursday, that there would be no in
vasion of rebel states before autumn. 1t is be-
lleved, however, that the government will not
delay its operations against the rebels at Har-
pers Ferry till the fall. That post will prob
ably be retaken very soon.
George Ashmun of Springfield is at WASH
ington, and has had an interview with the pres
ident. Senator Wilson and Senator Foot of
Vermont are also at Washington; the latter
urges the war department to accept two more
Vermont regiments.
All the flying artillery corps of the regular
army, consisting of seven splendid batteries,
have been organized into single battery under
Major Sherman.
Three more Pennsylvania regiments have
been accepted than the quota requested by the
president, and have received marching orders.
Col. John G. Fremont, the conqueror of CAL

Gen. Geo. B. McClelland.

As this officer has recently been promoted to
the rank he now holds, next to Gen. Scott in
order of succession, it may be interesting to our
readers to know a few events of his early his
tory.
Gen. McCelland is Pennsylvania by birth,
and was formerly one of the most eminent and
skillful officers in the United States army. Gen.
McClelland entered the United States Military
Academy as a cadet, from Pennsylvania in 1912,
and graduated at that institution with distinc-
ton in July, 1916. lie was Immediately ap-
pointed Brevet Second Lieutenant in the corps
of Engineers, and during the Mexican cam
paign was actively engaged with his corps. He
was brcveted First Lieutenant for his gallant
and meritorlous conduct in the battles OF Con
lreras and Cherubusco-the latter the hottest
contested battle in that war-August 20, 1871
He was subsequently appointed Brevet Captain
for his gallant conduct in the battle of Moline
del Rey, Sept. s, lS17, but declined the honor
He subsequently participated in the successful
assault on the Castle of Chepultepec, lS47, foi
which he received an honorable brevet. lie
commanded a company of sappers and miners
in lS4S. lie was atterward appointed one O
the three commissioners to visit E.rope during
the time of the struggle between the Allied
Powers and Russia. Enjoying ample facilite,
for inspecting all the operations in both the hos
tile camps, he was enabled to render himself
personally familiar with all the details, and ev
cry pos ,ible aspect of modern warfare on g
gantc scale. His report to the Government o
the result of his observations forms one of ou
most reliable and interesting works. For sew
eral years past he has been actively engaged il
experimenting extensive railroad operations il
the Western States, to which pursuit he ener
gctcally devoted himself after his resignation
He is the translator and compiler of the "Man
uni Ut t3ayonet Exercise for the United State
Army"
