 HAGERsT Mp, July 12th, 1861.

There arc forty-one thousand troops now at Martinsburg, and regiment after regiment pass by our camp ground every day for that place. Five hundred of our regiment are at Williams port acting as guard, while the right wing, in cluding Company I, are stationed at this place. This is the general Head- Quarters for stores, &c.,
 besides large "Powder Magazine" 1 will give you a slight description of our Camp. We are situated on what is called " Hagerstown Fair Ground" located one mile south by west of the town. It is surrounded by high board fence. Inside of this, are large walnut trees, which yield grateful shade at all times of the day. But the best of all, are two large and beautiful springs. The water is "par e1cel- lence." We have very good place to bathe- but how cold the water is. These springs car ry '' Grist Mill'' just below us. We expect to stay here for some time yet, and if the Litch- field people wish to send us " Litchfeld boys'' any thing in the line of a Goshen cheese, cake, and such like, why, we should be very happy to receive it. but at the same time, we have plenty to eat, but not any Connecticut food. except a piece of cheese sent to the Goshen boys by the people of Goshen. x * When any of the boys receive paper you ought to see Company flock around to> hear the news read. We are all well and are coming home by Thanks giving.
 Martinsburg is 19 miles from here. Company I started at A. M., and arrived there little before P. M., with warm day to march in. We crossed (forded) the Potomac River twice, some doffed their pants, and forded, but Ed. Smith went in with everything on. Ed. is our 1st Sergeant, and every man of us like him first rate He makes good soldier, and good man to see that we have our rations 1st Sergeant does all the business for the Co., &c.,, He never fails, always at his post. I will close this let ter, in hopes to hear from some of you. Boys send their best respects Wv.

IITCHFIELD.

The excessively warm weather of last week has yielded to more mild and delightful tem, nerature this week. Abundant showers have done good work in cooling the atmosphere and aiding the growing crops.
 News is skace" nowadays. A number of the 5th Regiment boys were here on Satur day, on a furlough. They expect to be of now very soon. "Biz." is dull, and Ltch6ed ve'y quiet. A large number of Summer visitors however, who are here, seem to be enjoying the country, the drives, walks, &c. about Litchheid' largely. It is certainly quiet and retired enough for them. We ought to have some more sum- mer boarding houses in Itchfield. They would be extensively patronzed, and would pay ~ell' A great many more people than can be accom-, modated, apply for board every summer here' ana go away because they cannot be accommodated
 For diversity, the Orphan Club Of Dr. Richards School propose to give 'Sosree U Ehiope, on Friday evening, at the Elm Park Chapel To commence at 711a o'clock. Seats free, and no peanuts allowed.

PLYMOUTH.

The past two weeks of glorious summer weather have been diligently improved, by our people in haymaking and securing, vast quanti ties having been cut and gathered in, the farm CTS having received aid from our mechanics. whose business in the factories, at present, is dried up by the Southern breezes. Our hay crop is full average one, and corn, oats. and rye look finely. We are not an agricultural com munity, being rather given to manufacturing, but undertake to say, we have the largest "Po- tatoe Patch'' in the State
 George T. Hoadley, Esq is the owner of an enclosure which was once the bed of Lake, or pond, embracing about sixty acres. This whole area is now one vast plain of decomposed veget- able matter, averaging about ten or twelve feet in depth, having until this season renamed un- cultivated. Now, there is growing theron, about thirty-fve acres of as fine looking potatoes as there is in the county, all in one unfenced plot. yet owned by many different individuals, each of whom, through the generosity of Mr. Hoadiey, is entitled to all he may produce Our mechan- ics have, many of them, patch in the great field, and will surely receive large reward for their efforts.

The Ladies Sewing Society, have sent for the benefit of Soldiers within the last few weeks a box of Hospital supplies, Lint-bandages, old linen, dressing gowns, socks, &c., box of clothing for Missouri Volunteers, containing flannel and cotton shirts, haveocks, pin cushions \ donation of dried fruit, cheese, cake, &c, to a company in the 1st Reg't c.

 There is some s'Secession' hero. On the eve ming of July 3d the ropes of both flag statfs lone on each end of the green were cut) and one of them was taken down, refitted and put up on the morning of the Fourth, while the other was climbed by young man. These flag stafrs are about 80 feet in height.
 Mir. William Bradley was seriously injured while moving hay last Thursday by thrust of pitch-fork in the groin. It is thought now that he may recover.

The War.

The news from Western Virginia is so cheer Z that it will reagsure the Country that the wal to be short and decisive.
 General Mcclellan has now cleared hls Dls' ct out of all the rebel forces, put them to rout, nd drove them further back into the lnterlor. .ery day we hear of fresh battles and fresh vlc- ries. The masked battery dodge is pretty -uch used up. The enemy shun all the fights .ey can, and when put to their arms take to their $. Erery day the coil of the Anaconda is -.dually tightening around them, and Richmond but few days in advance of the Federal oc. patton.
 The battle at Cheat River, Va, of which we re full accounts in this weeks paper, seems to ve been the most gallant engagement and bril- 1t victory thus far of the war. Less than two -ousand of our troops put four thousand of the bels to flight, killing their General and some ty of their men and taking countless prisoners, til ordered to stop for want of means to take re of them when arrested.
 It certainly does not yet appear in what respect Q Southerner is equal to seven Yankees, unless is in the immense capacity they exhibit in etching for the interior at the first sight of Me- ,.llan and his men, and this too when the pro- ,rtionate number is quite the other way.
 \ few more routs of this sort will suffice to : 1w the rebels that the work they have underta- n is both perilous and hopeless, and that they Il he rapidly driven to submission; while it also I assure the loyal citizens of the Southern ties that the Government intends vigorous fence its institutions and will make every ei- t in its power forthe preservation of their Con- tutional rights.
 Meanwhile. Congress, by voting five millions money and authorizing the enrolment of five :ndred thousand troops forthe purpose of carry on the war, evinces proper determination make the war vigorous and decisive one, and may now only wait the march of events and the ,,vement of our armies, which will be led by . most skillful mili;arv chicftaiu of the age, as led by Generals in whom the Country has eve

 July 4th 1861.
 JAS. HUMPHREY, JR., DeaY Sir :-Times hero in an agricultural point of view, are considera' ble brighter than they were last year. Then we had but very little rain and consequently but very little was raised. This year we have plenty of rain and crops are doing finely.
 Fall Wheat is about all harvested, and it is . first rate crop, but the amount sown last faii was not very large Of Spring Wheat there was a large quantity sown, the growth is very heavy and some of it will make very fine yield of first quality wheat, although small portion is badly filled with smut. I think the wheat crop of Kansas for 1861 will be good one, and will demonstrate the fact that this is good wheat growing State.
 To judge from present appearances the corn crop will be very heavy. There was good deal planted and where the cut-worm did not injuro the first planting, there are large fields of corn as high as mans shoulders: such growth is e wonder to an eastern man. Where the worms planting, in was re-planted third time and now looks like being good crop. think the corn crop must be very heavy. Potatoes are looking very fine, and good prospect of large crop.
 Kansas boys are wide awake for the Union, about every voting precinct has its Volunteer come into conflict with secessiOnists will give good account of themselves.

CORNWALL.

The war fever has ragged with more violence in this town during the past week, than at any previous time since it first broke out.
 New subjects have been attacked by it almost daily. and they have not been able to find relief until placed under the care of Col. Ferry at Camp Putnam.
 His course of treatment is highly spoken of by those who have tried it. Such have been coming home for brief visits, and with those who have been going 10 tue CoL's sun1naer re- t7eat at Hauford, have called large crowds to gether at the Depot at West Cornwall, on the arrival and departure of the trains. Col. Ferry, it is said, has now about 900 boarders in his es- tablishncnt, with room for very few more. Those who would be among the number must apply soon.
 The Sclectmcn of the town. in common with those of other towns, and in accordance with tie " law in such cases made and provided" have been enrolling those of our citizens who are subject to military duty: and the impression has prevailed to considerable extent, that af ter being enrolled they are to be drafted into the army It was known that ".7zcsA cas Acir Q many ills" but it really seemed as though there was sudden increase of lame backs y weak arms, rheumatic legs, ring-boncs, spavins, gout, gravel, &c., Some declared that they nev- CT could open one eye and shut the other they would always both be open or both shut and they could not shoot-and thus various were the reasons which some of our citizens urged why they were exempt from the requirements of the law. Such are turned over to the tender mercies of the doctors, with the request that they will treat them ca7'efully. \ large proportion of our citizens are, we are happy to say, oN right, and ready to meet any duty and make any sacrifice which their country and government require of them in this; their hour of trial.

SLEEPY UoLLow. July 18th,


 DEAR ENouIRER:-We have two or three pup pies and about as many men, who. we always supposed possessed ordinary intelligence, who presume to question the right of the United States Government to protect itself against the lawless invasion headed by the arch-traitOr- Jeff Davis.
 We waste no words on the first mentioned fra- ternity; but we ask these men to read Edward Everett's Oraton, delivered at the Academy of Music, New York, July 4th, and to tcllus if they can, in any possible way or manner answer tho argument deduced from his statements of facts! We try to pity the few ignorant beings in our town, who ii they knew how. would not dare to walk inch 70 the right or left of the line marked out for them by the Bridgeport Farmer and kindred shects,-but that intelligent men, with any regard for common honesty, should try 10 lift rebcllious voice against tEc best govern mcnt under Heaven, the government to which they are indebted for all the rights they possess, seems to us proof either of willful dclusion, or of monstrous iniquity.
 Do, for decency's sake, keep silence. fellow townsmen or go at once to join the Rebel forces where truly your lives would not be greatly endangered. provided you are swif-foo;cd
 We are half ashamed to add that our good, loyal citizens in the Hollow hardly lisp word of rebuke at the traitorous words they hear ut- tered.
