BANGoR.-Thc Rev. Mr.. Martin, Of
Burlington, Maine, a man of decided tai
ent and worth, was somewhat noted for
his eccentricity and humor, which OCCASION
ally showed themselves in his public min
istrations. In the time of the great land
speculations in Maine, several Of his prom-
inent parishioners and church members
were carried away with the mania of buy
ing lumber tracts. The reverend gentle
man resisted this spcculating spirit, and
more than once rcbuked it in his sermons.
One evening, at his regular weekly prayer
meeting, he noticed that several of his
prominent men were absent, and he knew
at once they had gone to Bangor to attend
great land sale. After singing hymn,
he said
"Brother Allen, will you lead us in
prayer 7"
Some one spoke out and said, "Ho has
gone to Bangor"
The pastor, not disconnected in tho least
called out
deacon Barber, will you lead US in
prayer ?"
ole has gone to Bangor" another an
swered.
Again the pastor asked:
esquire Clark, will you pray"
"The Squire has gone to Bangor" said
some one; and the pastor being now salts
fed, looked around upon the little assemb'
| ly as if the same reply would probably be
given to every similar request, and very
eamly said
"The choir will sing BANGOR, and ther
we will dismiss the meeting ~

How A SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE
a young French officer thus writes Of his
first experience in battle;
"Our officer kept us back, for we we're
not numerous enough to charge upon the
enemy. This was most prudent, for the
murderous fro, so fatal to the white coats,
did us but little harm. Our conical balls
penetrated their dense masses, whilst those
of the Austrians whistled past our cars
and respected our persons. 1t was the
first time l had faced fire, nor was I the
only one. Well, am satisfied with my
self. True, l lodged the first balls, but
Henry ". did the same at the beginning
of every battle. 1t is in fact physical
effect, independent of the will.
| But, this tribute paid, if you could only
feel how each shot electrifes you. It is
like whip on racers legs. The balls
whistle past you, turn up the earth around,
kill one, wound another, and you hardly
notice them. ou grow intoxicated, the
smell of gunpowder mounts to your brain.
The eyes become bloodshot and the look is
fixed upon the enemy, There is something
of all the passions in that terrible passion
excited in soldier by the sight of blood
and the tumult of battle.
Everybody who has tried it testifes to
The peculiar intozication that is produced
by being in battle. There is an infatuating
influence about the smell of powder, the
shrill whistle of a bullet, and the sight of
human blood, that instantly transforms
men from towards to heroes-from women
sometimes to monsters. No one can tell
Of the nature of mystery of that influence
but those who have been in the fray them
selves"

COMMUNICATIONS
GREENWOOD, June oath, 1861.
litor Of The Columbia Democrat,


Editor Of The Columbia Democrat.
DEAR S1a;-I take this opportunity of
making, publicly,a few comments on pri.
vatc letter in my possession under date of
June 18th.
Tho gentleman writing alleges that re-
port obtains respecting the illegality of
military company under drill some where
in the vicinity of Rohrsburg, in this county
and that the members of said company are
avowed sccessionists. IIc further stated
that some persons had contemplated rout
ing them and advised me that if were n
any way connected with the squad l had
best report through the press and state
our exact position. Although l deem this
counsel altogether un-callcd-for yet for the
benefit of men | would state that there is q
company under military instructions in
this neighborhood the members of which
arc chiefly, and perhaps exclusively, Dem.
ocrats whose conduct in this crisis is alto.
gcthcr uncxceptionablc. am proud to
say that am connected with the compa-
ny and one in whom 1 can place the ut
most confidence and that, the members
having given me the command | think it
part of my duty, openly to denounce the
slanderer and exculpate our soldiers from
blame. 1t must be evident to every OBJ
server that since the commencement of the
present national troubles, there have been
a few exceedingly officious persons who
have made it their business to stir up ami =
mositics, and thus joopardizo our best in
tcrcsts, 1t is certainly surprising, that
individuals protesting to be the Union men
should have the audacity to fabrcatc, and
circulate willful falschoods knowing that
such misconduct will tend to weaken the
bonds that unite the people Of the North.
To such persons VIC have but little to say
other than that we shall at all times defend
our charge, from the abusive. slander ot
insidious assailaI Is, and knowing as We
do, that the integrity of our company
is unimpcachablc, VIC shall stand by our
rights at all hazards. We think it the
duty of American Frecmep, to brand fall
sifcrs, with the stigma they merit; ere they
marshal to meet an open enemy. Oul
credentials are open to the inspection Of any
person or persons, who ask it in the spiri
cf manlines, but to such lawlcss miscrcant
who delight in disseminating falsehoods
to injure their countrymon, we have only t.
say that we shall not bow to their sccpter
nor submit tamclY to their abuse. W.
claim to be true American citizens ant
can offer no better guaranty of our loyal
ty, than that we have ever been faithful t.
the trust vouchsafcd US by our fore.fathers
1t is we'll known that men differ and hav,
the right of differing as to the causes whicl
induced this melancholy state of things
yet while we entertain different politica
view we have earnestly advocated a unit
of purpose. The North must be united o
her strength is with drawn, her destin
sealed, and happy union can not be sc
cured and maintained, so long as unprin
cipled men are allowed to disseminate un
truths, ad-hJi'um.
Yours, with respect, &C.,
GEO. w. UTT.

oh sacred. sacred twilight hour,
When man most feels his Makers power;
When gentle zcphyrs softly play
In numbers smooth, al close of day;
When sultry phGbus' scorching rays
No more his witherng power displays;
When hushcd to silence is the Earth
sour minds tn noble thong hts give birth.
The twiuk'ing stars, that one By one,
Dependent still upon the Sun
Must hide themselves from mortal view
When he shall span yon arch Of blue,
Now shine abroad with splendid light
Displaying all their beauty bright.
How grand, how beautiful they are'
Yes, beauty beams in every star.
They dot the ornament so fair,
That doth Gods handwOrk declare.
Magnificent indeed they arc
Those stars tina, beam their light afar,
The cares, the busy cares Of day.
In all their dread their dire array,
Now cease topress upon the mind;
We seek those pleasures more refined
ave wander DER the hills and dales,
The fields, the meadows, woods and yaics,
We view the mountains ah, SO grand
we view the Oceans rocky strand;
With vast aud piercing, wondering sweep
We view the broad and briny deep.
Our souls with nature now commune
ave love to listen to the tune
Tint mong the trees the brcezcs play
When twilight comes at close Of day
The soft AOlian melodies
81 yonder waving forest trees,
oh sweet, oh happy even time
Dear emblem of our youthful prime.

In exercises like the above, where all are
good, comparisons seem invidious Abun.
dant evidence was given of close thought,
cultivated taste, and careful preparation on
the part of every orator and essayist.
A colloquy entitled "ContraS,," written
by Miss L. a. Pugh, was spoken by some
twenty or thirty of the juvenile members
of the school, showing the wide difference
between society at the present and in the
olden times. The colloquy was well writ
ten, and the "little folks" had been so
thoroughly trained that they acted their
several parts most admirably,
The gcntlemen's colloquy came off as
usual in the afternoon. 1t was really a
fine thing. 1t was entitled Court Scene,
and was written by Mcssrs. B. and f. Bar
ner. One Mr.. Saacney (very green) was
sued for breach of promise by MISS
Badger, and the trial of the case in the
court room was as natural as life. Just as
the judge had nearly completed his charge
to the jury, a military detachment came
in, and Judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses,
and the parties in the suit, amid great ex-
citement, joined the company and marched
away to the tune of Yankee Doodle. There
were some forty different actors, and each
did exceedingly we'll.
The students part of the Anniversary
was concluded with valcdictory already

spoke it,
Then followed tho Anniversary Address

cost, and its pcrpetuity. The address
throughout was most able, patriotic ant
impressive. The frequent and heart.
cheers from the audience evinced their higl
appreciation of the address, and that thei
hearts were in sympathy with the scnti
mcnt and spirit of the speaker, 1t wa
universally conseded to have been one c

should he not speak well since he certainl
must feel well, having just been elected t

The citizens Of the valley and surround
