From our troop, out in the Noun

| From our Troop StSS.
| Rev Gordon Bsttells, of this city, was
cont opt some two weeks ago by Governor
piernoirt to accompany the Q. S. Paymas-
tor and bring back from our volunteers
whatever they wished to send to their
families. He brought back with him come
s. 900. which for the last two or three
DAVIS he has been busy distributing to the
families of volunteers. the regiments
paid were our I'd and Sd. Iu addition to
what money Mr.. BatteIle brought the
Chaplain of the Sd collected some $1,000
making in all $1,000. The bulk of this
sum came to this county and Marshall,
and some of it goes to Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Battelle visited the camps at Graf
,on webster, Clarksburg, Phillippi, Beal-
inptop, Lecdsville, Beverly, Huttonsville,
Elkwater and Cheat Mountain. He reports
that our troops are all we'll clothed, well fed
and we'll contented. he says also that
no parties were more surprised Mt the cock
and bull stories whichw were set afloatabout
the suffering of the troops in the camps than
the soldiers themselves. They have plen-
ty of everything, and the only thing in the
world that annoys them is lying still in
stead of being in active service. Our Yir-
GINA troops especially desire to be along
with Gen. Kelly, of whom Mr. Battelle says
they speak with the utmost enthusiasm
and cordially. They all regard his star
as alucky one, and they like the General
as a man, better than anybody else.
The PAymaster whom Mr.. Battelle ac-
companied was Major Humphrey, who, in
connection with his excellent assistant.
Capt. vroomen, of Parkersburg, Mr. B..
saws. has accomplished an incredible
amout of work since they went out. He
has paid, besides the ID and Sd Virginia.
the oath Ohio, Col. Ammon's regiment.
And by the way Col. Ammon receives
the highest commentator for the thor
onsbness With which he attends to the de-
tails of his camp, and the comfort and dis
cipline of his soldiers. He is represented
as being a model soldier in every word and
look, and is justly regarded as one of the
very first officers of Reynolds division.
There is little or no sickness among our
troops. On Cheat Mountain system OF
blork houses, for winter quarters, has been
entered upon, and many of the soldiers are
already inside these cabins, and as CON-
fortably enscouced as the inhabitants gen
orally were in times past. Pine trees, long
and straight, abound in the greatest pro
fusion, and these are cut and piled up rap
idly into good houses.
Another thing we take the liberty of sta
ting in this connection. Mr.. Battelle hac
no idea that he was candidate for tin
Convention. The first he saw or heard o
such thing, was when he saw his nam
announced in our papers. On the Priuci
pie, therefore, that one good turn deserve
another, the election Of Mr.. Battelle was
very fitting compliment to him in return
for the gratuitous and generous service
which he was performing for Ourvolunteer
and their families.

We have received a copy of the Atchi-
son, Kansas, Union. There is a "pass" in
progress between it and tue Champion, AS
we gather from the following:
Why is the editor of the champion like
Goliah of Gath?
Because he depends on his brazen front
to take him through.
Why is the editor of the Champion like
Sampson?
Because his only weapon is the jaw of an

the second requires foot-note. If the ed

mics by jAwing them, of course he is, for
the time being, an ass; ergo it is the jaw
of an ass he makes use of.
These two papers, if they are not careful,
will soon get down to the level of the
New York journals. That the editor of
the Union knows how to avoid such n lev

in his columns, reading thus:
A true gentleman is always respectful.
He may differ from you in matters of re-
ligion, yet he is always courteous-ever
commands respect for himself and the
cause he espouses. He does not on unnec-
essary occasions assail you with his pecu-
liar views, nor revile you because religion
has left quite a different impression upon
your mind. If he he political opponent

The London Times has shown a marvel
lous familiarity with our affairs, as every
one knows who has read its articles du-
ring the last six months 1t has discover
ed a great many things that we did not
know of here, for instance, that the gov
eminent could not get any money. 1t has
now made another astounding discovery,
which has been revealed exclusively to its
keen ewes. 1t thinks that probably the Or
leans princes who are now serving in our ar
my, are looking for the American throne,that
they calculate on the downfall of our gov
eminent, and that having "a sharp eye to
the main chance" they are expecting to
rise into power with the monarchy that
will spring UP out of the ruins of our dem
ocratic institution. This is ingenious to
say the least. We fancy that nobody will
be more amused and surprised at hearing
the magnificent plan expounded than the
young French captains themselves and
their distinguished uncle. We trust that
applications will not yet be made to them

not best to interrupt them in their military
labors.
The consummate ignorance of the spirit
of our people, which is displayed by the
Times in its suggestions about the Orleans
Princes is equally manifested in its discus
sions of our affairs. 1t may be added also
that the Times shows the same malignity
towards the Princes that it has evinced to-
wards u.s. 1t can Sc e nothing good in our
country, our cause, or the brave men who
have generously cast their fortunes with
US. 1t maintains that our war can attract
only the cOndottieri and the Dugald Dali
gettys from abroad, and that the princes
ought to think into what company they are
entering.
1t is evident therefore that if the princes
reach that American throne which the
Times sees in its vision of the future, that
they will not be indebted for their eleva-
ton to the sapient and generous men who
control the columns of that paper. We
presume that its criticisms will not palsy
their arms in the contest in which they
have drawn their swords.

Inhn G. Brnokinridpe,

OF all other persons next to Breckenridge
himself, we know of no one in the country
to whom these words of the Louisville
Journal, concerning him, will come nearer
applying than Charles w. Russell, Chair
man of the Virginia delegation at Charles
ton and Baltimore, who, in the hopes of
attaining a gOvernorship or senatorship,
lent himself to the work of the conspira-
tors. Says the Journal:
"Of all the persons engaged in this ne
furious work, he achieved the lowest depth
Of degradation, for he allowed himself to
he used to dis tract and divide the vote of
the country, with the full confidence that
it would lead to the election of Mr.. Lin
coin, and thus present to the southern
malcoutents a pretext for their acts of Sc
ce-sion. No man is more deeply and terri
bly, responsible for the blood and pillage
and crime and horror of the last six
months He knows it, too; he knows
that he is as guilty as Cain after the first
fratricide, and he flies from the vengeance
that awaits him. He is a refugee, with the
brand upon his brow and the gnawing vul-
tHre of remorse at his heart. His fate
will be that of n traitor.
'In the last battle,
Borne down by the flying,
Where mingles wars rattle
With groans of the dying,
There shall he be lying
"Monster of peridy, migrate and iend,
his name will be eternHlly linked with
those of Judas and Arnold, and, when his
tory seeks to recount tue dNmning deeds Of
those who have entitled themselves to the
execration of mankind, that name will be
foremost in the scroll, which was borne by
Que, who, in the very spirit of the arch
demon, thought it better to reign in hell
than serve in heaven"
May Iffe's unblessed cup for him
BE drugged with treacherics to the brim,
With hopes that but allure to fly;
With joys flIat vanish while he sips.
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips!
His couutry's curses, his children's shame,
Outcast Of virtue, peace and fame;
3Iay he at last with lips of flame,
On the parchd desert thirsting die
While lakes that shonc in mockcry nigh,
Are fading OF, untouched, untasted,
Like the glorious hopes he blasted!

Inducements to Volunteers.

We have been asked within the last day
or two, to repubIish the inducements which
are offered by the government to volun-
teers. We cheerfully do so.
Suppose private to have served one
year, and that being the end of the war,
his account with the Government, reduced
to a cash valuation, would stand about
thus:
For IL month pay at S1s per month...........S156
For IL months Communication for clothing,
AZ
For IL months communication for rations, 81, Ia
For grant of 100 acres of land, lin prOspecD

Total for the year.
Should the future progress of our ma
tioal affairs, during the fall and winter,
induce an overwhelming enlistment of re-
cruits, to such an extent rs to insure the
termination of the war, within the period
of three or six months from the present
writing, it must be borne in mind by the
soldier that his bounty of 500 in cash, al
ready provided, and $50 acres of land
which will probably be granted at the
coming session of Congress, remain the
same.
Such are the pecuniary inducements Of
fered by the Government, which. in point
of liberality, are unequaled in the annals
of the world.

In addition to the above notice ! may OBJ.
serve that at the last session of the Court,
about one half of the officers required by law
to give bail, produced their bonds for appro-.
val.
1t is hardly necessary to remark that those.
officers who fail to comply with the law in
this respect cannot enter upon q discharge of
their duties. A little reflection upon the nee
essity of having the taxes of the townships,
and School Districts legally levied in order to,
ensure collection, should induce a prompt
compliance with all laws in relation to the
qualification and other duties of township and
school affairs.
1t is not necessary that the officers and their
sureties should present themselves before the
Court in order to secure the approval Of their
bonds. A misapprehension in this particular
has undoubtedly prevented many from com.
plying with the laws All that is necessary
is that bonds properly executed should be
filed in the Office of the Clerk of Quarter
Sessions. He will present them to the Court
for approval.
The bonds at the close should contain a
clause similar to the following: "And We
hereby authorize the Prothonotary of Potter
County to enter judgement against us for the
sum above mentioned with cost of suit
The bonds should be signed by enc or two.
persons as witnesses. Judgement is not TO
be entered upon the bonds except as provided
by laws On default Of the officers.
