POINT iLEAsANT, Va, aug 4th, IoOl.
Editor Telegraph: AS some of your
readers might like to hear from Capt
Browns Company, and know how they
are fourishing, 1 will pen you few
lines, concerning our trip to this place,
and how we were received in place
where Secession and Union reigns about
equally. The boys were very impatient
while they were stationed at Mason City,
for they thought that there was no use
in keeping them so far from the seat of
war. So, gladly did they receive the
news that an order had come transferring
them to this place, where we are getting
along very we'll.
In regard to health, there appears to
be several sick, but no one seriously
Our Capt. appears to be as bad as any
one, and he leaves for your place this
morning, where, in the care of kind
friends, and under able medical atten-
dance, it is hoped by all, he may soon
recover, and come back among us once
more and cheer US with his presence
All is quiet here, save the tramp of SOL
diers and the sound of their melodious
voices, which now and then breaks the
dead stiffness of the air. AS for com
mon pursuits, they sink into utter in
significance compared with military bust
ness.
Uncle Sam is the man that does all
the business. Every road is his high
way-every river and railroad is his
great thoroughfare, and upon them are
being transferred an enormous amount
Of things daily. L thought l would
speak to you in regard to our reception
here when we arrived. Almost every
one living in the place seemed to say,
by the appearance of their countenances
that we might just as we'll have staid
at homeland especially the ladies. AS
we went out to drill the other day, l
saw several, and they seemed to scorn
at US as if we were not much. But |
can say one thing for them, and that is,
that they are generally very neat and
very fine looking ladies.
Everything is in the hands of the
soldiers, ano they are making them
selves at home. They have taken pos
session of churches and school houses,
and many of them are stationed in pri-
vate houses. There is now twenty
seven hundred soldiers stationed in this
place. Capt. Welton's and Capt. Smith
companies received orders this evening
to be ready to march in the morning
with three days rations, destination,
probably jenkins farm, where they are
in hopes they may find some Secession
lists. There are now two in jail here,
who are rabid ones, and the Jail keeper
is one also; SO that is like putting two
armies together in order that they may
double team on you.

RUTLAND, August +, '61.
Nr. Editor-Capt's Samuel Titus and
Henry E. Titus, having united their ef-
forts, succeeded in raising a company of
cavalry for the war. Yesterday being
the time appointed for making the final
arrangements for starting to Columbus,
our town Was, consequently, filled with
friends and relatives of the brave heroes
who had volunteered in their country s
service.
A few patriotic remarks were made by
Judge Merrill, Hon. S. Titus, and 9TH
ers
There being a few young men willing
to go who were not supplied with horses,
Captain Titus made an appeal to the
crowd to have them supplied. The ap-
peal was responded to, and the horses
supplied by the citizens of Rutland and
vicinity.
While the above business was pro-
ceeding, Capt. Titus called for attention
a moment, when a person stepped for
ward and remarked, that, according to
precept, "The race is not always to the
swift, nor the victory to the hosts of
men; but blessed is the nation whose
God is the Lord" This precept is
strikingly verified in the history Of our
forefathers, who, with few men, and small
means, fought the battles of Freedom,
and bequeathed to us the rich boon of
Constitutional Liberty; and as memo
rial of this precept, beautiful pocket
Bible was presented to Capt. Titus, with
an injunction to initiate the noble Wash
ington, who relied for success upon the
business of his cause, the uprightness Of
his actions, and the Providences of God.
The crowd then dispersed, to meet at
eight o'clock this Sunday morning, to
witness the departure of the ''heroes for
the war.
Owing to some Misunderstanding they
did not start till after ten o'clock, at
which time they moved quietly on. after
hearing few parting words from Elder
Rush.
Some Of the friends accompanied the
soldiers as far as Pageville, where free
dinner, we learn, was to be prepared Tor
them.
The boys have left with our best
wishes for their welfare, hoping that
each will conduct himself valiantly and
with due propriety. In this you may
be assured | am not an

Bea- The census of Ireland shows a de-
crease of population, of twelve per cent.
IN ten years. At that rate it would not
take long to depopulate the country.
But there is no danger~of such a result.
Those that have left it, coming to this
and other countries, have doubtless bet
tered their own condition, and, relieved
by that means of superabundant pop
ulation, those left behind have also been
benefited
We do not expect SO large an emigra-
ton for the next ten years as has been
i'll the past. With the greatly improved
condition of the people of Ireland, and
the depression in business here, the
temptation to emigrate will not be so
great.
If there are any people in the world
who ought to feel a profound interest in
the success Of the friends of the Union.
it is the ''Exies of Erin" Here, they
have found, not onl y a home and pro-
lection from the hand of oppression, but
have found the reward of industry such
that instead of famine they have been
surrounded with plenty. Bus, above
all, here they have been enfranchised
with that full religious and political
freedom which they could not enjoy at
home.
And our Union armies, and the daring
deeds of valor of the Irish Regiments,
prove that they are not uugrateful to
the country of their adoption.

D@LOhio is authorized by the War
Department to furnish forty regiments
for the war. She will do it, and still
have forty thousand more ready, should
the country require their services.
Open traitors may plot, and secret
sympathizers with treason may try to
divide the people ard get up party strife
and personal jealousies, and carping ed :
itors may fill their sensation columns with
abuse of those upon whom the Consti-
tuition has devolved the duty of its main
tenance, but the great heart of the peo-
pie is all right, and marching to the
Emusic of the Union" will redeem the
inheritance their fathers left them, from
the haad of the spoilers.

Union for the Sake of the
Union.

The action of the Republican State
Central Committee, in ignoring all party
contest in the coming election, and uni
ting the whole people upon Union
ticket, regardless of former party names
or associations, meets with the most uu-
bounded appropriation Of all men Of all
parties, who are not at heart in SYM
rathy with the rebels. The Cincinnati
Commcrctat says;
I'VE have the qualification of an
nouncing that this Committee has dis
carded the party rubbish, and expressly
invited the Democratic Executive Com
mittee to meet it and call Il joint Dele
gate Convention, to nominate candidates
for State officers without reference to
party antecedents, on the simple plat
form Of loyalty to the Constitution and
the Government. If the Democratic
Committee does not accept this invita-
tion-then everybody who is in favor
Of sustaining the Government is invited
to join III the election of delegates to Il
Convention to nominate ticket worthy
the support of all patriotic citizens"
This is certainly an unexpected in
dorsenent, by a paper which can seldom
find anything in the action of Republi-
cans which it does not denounce. 1t
only remains to be seen how the move
ment will bescconded. \ Union ticket,
on which all the citizens would unite,
would have an untold moral effect. But
if this cannot be had, and the allies Of
JEFF. Davis will run a separate ticket,
we trust the mass of the Democracy will
not be duped by it, but let it receive
such a rebuke as will have the same ef-
feet.

ssa- 1t is said that Gen. Mcclellan is
working almost miracles in the reforma-
tion of the army at Washington. 1t is
not to be denied, humiliating as the fact
may be, that drunkenness prevailed to
an alarming extent among many of the
officers as well as priyates. The dog
geries of Washington were coming money
TO the disgrace of the country, and the
utter Generalization of the army. The
! officers, spending their time in the hotels,
and many Of them setting the bad ex-
ample Of drinking before their men, had
nearly destroyed all discipline, and rows
aud riots were the order of the day. In
deed, to such extent had the demorali-
zaton extended, that open insubordina-
ton manifested itself on several occa-
sions But Gen. Mcclellan has issued
such orders that these Irregularities are
brought to sudden stop, and the disci
pline, as we'll as efficiency of the army,
are fast being restored
1t is burning shame that the whole
army and the country should be dis
graced by the drunkenness and conse-
quent rowdyism of a very few Of the Of
ficers and men. The world never saw
an army of as noble and worthy materi-
ais as that now in the volunteer service
of our country. Nineteen out of every
twenty of them would, almost without
orders or discipline, observe all the pro-
prieties of life, wherever they might be
stationed But, unfortunately, the odd
twentieth being essentially loafers at
home, will, as far as possible, throw off
all restraints, when in camp. And it is
the conduct of these few that brings a
reproach upon the whole. We believe
Gen. Mcclellan will put a final stop to
all disorder in our troops, and thus re-
lieve them from the stigma cast upon
them by these miserable loafers. Every
true patriot in the army as we'll as lover
of his ceuntry's honor, will uphold him
in his efforts.

Traitors in the Department.

/
The leaders of the conspiracy had so
long controlled the Government, that
every department was filled with their
tools and emIssaries. And of the many
thousands of incumbents in all the
Offices at Washington, it is now ascer-
tanned that, with scarcely an exception,
they all belonged to the secret band Of
conspirators against the Government
upon whos5 bounty they fed. But, as
there was no proof of any overt acts,
and a "howl' of "proscription'' went
up over the whole land if one of them
was removed, they were generally al
lowed to retain their places. And there
are to-day, at least nineteen out of
every twenty Of the offices at Washing
ton and elsewhere, filled by the appoin-
tees of the Pierce and Buchanan Ad-
ministrations.
But the fact has become demonstrated
that, Notwithstanding these secret tories
have voluntarily taken an oath Of idel-
ity to the Government, they are using
their positions to better enable them to
act as spies for the rebel leaders. 1t
happens that every movement of our
Government is promptly reported to the
enemy, and in such way that none but
traitors in Office at Washington could
possibly furnish it,
We are glad to see that the subject
has been taken up by Congress, and we
trust the last rascal of them will be dis
charged! If it is not thought best to
appoint Republicans in their places,
there are Union Democrats to be had

Need Watching,

The majority of the Legislature of
Maryland, as everybody knows, are
arowcd disunionists Nothing but the
stand taken by Gov. Hicks, and the fear
of the halter, has deferred them from
passing an ordinance of Secession
1t has been ascertained that a plot
has been Matching among them, in COM
plicity with Jeff. Davis and his crew, to
meet together in some secluded place,
and secretly pass a Secession ordinance
now, in hopes that it will be the means
of raising civil war in that State, which
will, in some way, aid the cause of the
conspirators.
AS the PLOT has been discovered, Gen.
Dix will be apt to put his foot upon it
in time to crush it out.
