The entire regiment turned out to pay their
last tribute of respect to the memory OF the
brave volunteer, and large concourse OF
the citizens of Cumberland attended as
spectators. As the long procession slowly
wendell its way around the road which led
to the cemetery, the soldiers unarmed and
moving with solemn and measured step to
the wailing music of the regimental band,
the coffin covered with the American flag,
and borne by his comrades in the bloody
fight the scene was sadly impressive. His
remains were deposited in a vault that they
may be removed at any future time. The
cemetery adjoins the camp and Hollinback
now sleeps his last sleep within sound of
the voices of his late messmates. The
morning reYeille will no more break upon
his ear calling him to his daily duties. His
name, though in life it may not have borne
a high-sounding title is nevertheless enroll
ed upon the muster-book of martyr patriots
and his heroism will be remembered by the
gallant State from whence ne came. He
died game and defied his murderers to the
last.
Two Pennsylvania Regiments are pow
encamped on the line, seven miles from here

mainly of mountaineers from Clear6eld,

adorned with deer's tall The Wild Cat
Regiment is their proud title. 1t is the
same crowd that reported themselves to
Gov. Curtin at Harrisburg, and offered to
march in defence of Washington, on their
own hook, and is pledged themselves to 60

for this latitude at this particular juncture.
The other regiment brings with it several
effective pieces of artillery.

bite the dust. One of the Zouaves fell, sup
posed to be MORALLY wounded, when a reb-
ell rushed upon his PROSTATE form with ex-
carnations of triumph, and fendiShly raised
a weapon to strike the dying soldier. At
this moment Tom Brasher, of Company ID,
a Terre Haute boy, quickly dealt blow
with the butt of his gun which smashed the
rebels skull and scattered his brains to the
four winds of heaven. The Captain of the
rebel company fell under the unerring aim
of an Indianapolis volunteer The night
lasted nearly an hour, the Indianians being
the last to leave the ground. Yesterday
morning before daylight, Col. Wallace de-
tailed Company D, under command of Lieut..
Brown, with Companies and X, to pro-
coed to the scene of the fight. The marks
upon the Island, and for half mile along
the railroad, bore evidence of a terrible and
sanguinary struggle. Pools of blood were
visible on every hand, and nine dead horses,
that had been shot beneath their riders were
lying upon the ground. Many weapons. be-
longing to the enemy, were found scattered
in various directions. In the second fight
the Indianians lost most of the captured
horses, but several of them were re-taken
yesterday, in the vicinity of the Island.
One Indianian was killed and another
bly, recover. It is the general opinion that
the man killed was murdered by the rebels,
who had succeeded in taking him prisoner,
and were on their way to Frankfort, Va,
where their forces number, it is said, 1000
or l, 500 men. He was found by members
of his company, at house on the noun
tains, a few miles from the railroad, where
he had been left few hours before their ar
rival, in dying condition. He had been
shot in several places and stabbed in the alb
| domen with bayonet. His name was Z oil
| lenback. He was from some interior town
of the State, and had joined Company B al
Indianapolis. His company speak of him
as a worthy young man and of undannted
courage. To-day his remains will be buried
with military honors.
| People living along the Chesapeake Ca
nal, CD the Maryland side, who witnessed
most of the fight, say that the Indianian
fought with unparalleled skill and pluck
One man would frequently get surrounded
by a half dozen OF the enemy, when h'
would clear his way out by main physica
force, knocking the enemy right and left.

Tn Fourth i'm Evansville.
The various celebrations of the Fourth in
this vicinity passed off very happily and
without an accident or disturbance of any
kind The day was ushered in with ma
tional salute, and at an early hour the
streets were enlivened with uniformed men
hurryine to the rendezvous of their differeat
The flag presentations to the German
Jagers and Lamasco Guards, came off ac-
cording to the programme and the compan-
les received their coIors with-appropriate re-
marks from the officers in command, and
hearty cheers from the rank and file. The
companies in line, were the Lamasco Guards
German Jagers, Independent Zouaves, Van
derburg Greys, Jackson Artillery, and
Steuben Artillery. They marched through
the principal streets of the city, and were
universally admired for their soldierly bear
ing.
At nine o'clock a majority of the Sunday
Schools of the various churches in the city
embarked on a train at the Depot, for the
Fair Grounds Hundreds of baskets of the
good things of life were carried by the child
rem, and a more light hearted party never
left their homes, for dey in the woods
The ten and eleven o'clock trains were like
wise well filed, so that the crowd at the
grounds, exclusive of the children was very
large. The opening song by the children,
introduced the exercises which were in ac-
cordance with the published programme
The crowded state of our columns this
morning, forbids the extended notice of the
speeches and the songs, it was our purpose
to make. The whole affair was creditable
to the speakers and the singers. At Que
clock, the contents of the baskets were
revealed and plentious and elegant dinner
was provided for ALL The afternoon trains

city. The "Hard Times kept many at

of celebrating the day, was this year con-
sidered a sufficient reason by many, for alb

FIREs.--Early yesterday morning, a
building on First Street, occupied as a sa-

calculated to put out the fire, and wash out
the whole concern. The fire was subdued

The FIFTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH REGI-
MENTs AT CINcINNATI.-Theg good citizens Of
Cincinnati, with a hospitality which will
never be forgotten in Indiana, gavea break
fast to the Seventeenth and Fifteenth Reg
iments last Tuesday morning. The Com
mercial says
Everything that hungry man could de-
sire or furnishing soldier devise to make
him at peace with his stomach was there in
abundauce-enough and to spare. 1t was
like the scripture feast of miraculous pro-
duction, for no sooner was platter cleaned
of its food than it was reilled. The supply
seemed to be as inexhaustable as the loaves
and fishes of Holy Writ. Nor did the boun-
ty end here-those pleasant digestiyes, eli
CARS and tobacco, were supplied in profu-
sion enough for all.
Will Cincinnati please send US two or
three regiments to feed We will never be
satisfied until we are able to repay the
many kindnesses which have been lavished
upon orr Hoosier Boys while passing
through the Queen City.

PARTING SCENES. -Capts. Grill and Con-
netts companies left yesterday morning on
the $40 train. The scene at the depot was
very interesting. The parents, sisters, and
sweethearts of many of the boys were there
and the partings brought many tear to the
eyes of the " bold soldier boys" Friends
gathered in knots here and there, giving
advice to the boys, shaking hands and wish
ing them " God speed a mother told us,
with tears in her eyes, that she had rather
buried George" We consoled her as best
we could, bnt she +" refused to be comfort

departure of the train, the last kiss was
given, the last greeting exchanged, the last
kind wish expressed, and slowly the train
began to move In a moment the gallant
boys were gone Many of the best young
men in the city left us yesterday. They
will be sadly missed, and anxiously looked
for until they return. They 60 into camp

CUMBERLAND, Md, June %, 1861
EDITOR JOURNAL A desperate f ght took
place on Wednesday, the 9th inst, at Kel-
Iy's Island, on the Maryland and Virginia
lines, about 2 miles from Cumberland. the
correct particulars of which are as follows
Thirteen Zouaves were out scouting on
horseback, when, at the the above mention
ed place, they encountered the enemy's
scouts, numbering between forty and fifty
men. well armed as cavalry. AS the rebels
filed ont on the mountain road to cross Pat
terson Creek, they were promptly and fear
lessly attacked by the Indiana boys, who
poured volley after volley into their ranks
killing eight or ten, and wounding several
others The rebels then took flight, but
the Zouaves followed them and captured
sixteen horses, together with swords, pis-
tolls, &c. Only one of their company was
wounded, Corporal Hays, of Company A
After the retreat of the rebels, the Zouaves
started for camp, and had proceeded on their
way back as far as the Island, where they
halted to rest for few minutes and pro-
vide for the comfort of their wounded COM
rade. Here the enemy returned with re-
Inducements, and attacked the lndianians
with great energy and desperation, CALLED,
no doubt by the loss they had already sus-
tanned, and the remembrance of their igno-
minious fight. Notwithstanding the dis
parity of numbers, the heroic Indiana
scouts stood their ground like Spartans, re-
turning the attack with uuflinching deter
mination until they had exhausted all their
ammunition. Then both parties closed up
on each other, and hand-to-hand conflict
ensued with bayonets, knives, butts Of guns,
and pistols Corporal Hays, though badl Y
wounded, engaged in the fight, and with his
sabre made no less than four of the traitors

Tue STEAM FIRE ENaINE.-The steam
fire engine will never be complete protec-
ton to the city until the Council adopts the
plan of other cities, in relation to horses
No one doubts but that horses kept for the
purpose of drawing the engine, would be
more serviceable than horses unaccustomed
to the business, and the only question is the
expense. 1t is said that we cannot afford it.
True, no doubt, but can we afford to run
the risk of the delay occasioned by the pres
ent arrangement? The delay of ten min
utes, or less time, looking for team, and
then the further delay of having horses I'M
used to the work may prove disastrous to
half the city Would it not be economy to
have the steam fire engine ready to move at
a moments notice, and thus, by its efficien-
cy, make disastrous fire impossible. In
surance under such an arrangement would
be nominal, and fire in any part of the
city could be subdued in twenty minutes.

library Association,

A " shareholder" in a communication in
Thursday Journal, complains very much
over what he regards as the assumed rights
of the Board of Managers of the AssOci alton
in nominating Ticket. The Ticket was
not presented in an official manner; any zone
of the stockholders had just as much to say
as the Board in nominating this ticket, but
it happened that there were no others pres
ent. for one have no desire to deprive
the "sovereigns," of any of their just
''rights," nor do believe that any of the
Board desire to assume any authority not
delegated to them We have here, however
some of the consequences Of the plan adopt
ed by former boards of directors in assuming
to themselves rights not knoaOn to the cons
stitution and laws.
q. e{4rr-th4 hfIGAef, Uut can NOT possibly
see the difference between the Board OF
Managers presenting Ticket to be voted
| for by the Stockholders, or that OF
| the Board of Managers appointing COM
mittee TO nominate their particular ia
vorites for office the plan is wrong, in both
cases; unconstitutional, and by so doing, are
| deIegating to themselves the rights of the
I" sovereigns. The stockholders of the
Evansville Library Association should feel
sufficient interest in the welfare of
the institution to meet and nominate
t,co tickets to be voted for without any
dictation from the old board whatever
either by the appointment of a committee to
nominate ticket, or otherwise, by simply
giving notice, by the President, that an cleo
ton will be held on a certain day, or evening,
to elect officers for the association, in accord
ance with the Constitution and Laws
Then and then only will all of the rights of
the sovereigns be fully respected, and no ne
cessity for established customs but all
