CAMP WRIGHT, June 21st, 1861.

CAMP WRIGHT, June 2lst, 1861.
FRIEND MURRAY:-Affairs in our beautiful
camp are assuming 4 more cheerful appearance
and it will ere long be under strict military dsc
pline. Our camp is situated on the westren
slope of a hill, opposite the Allegheny river,
and when viewed from the opposite bank it pre-
sents most beautiful appearance; the snow
white tents dotting the green sward furnishes a
beautiful field for the artist.
There are IN this camp about four thousand
soldiers who anxious for opportunity to
exhibit their devotion and love to that country
under whose auspices they have enjoyed so many
days of sunshine to vindicate the honor of the
Stars and Stripes beneath whose folds our revo-
lutionary sires rallied, which was borne so
triumphantly over the scorching plains of Mexi-
CO, and has been an evidence of our existence as
nation for so long.
We have great deal of amusements of every
description that can in anyway contribute
towards making the soldiers contented and
happy we have music of all kinds, from the
soul stirring fife down to the melodious strains
Of the lutte, and some doleful piece is executed
by our excellent string band tear often glistens
and far off friends-but what a change comes
o'er the spirit of his dream, when the band
changes to some ''illegant left'' every nerve is
put in motion and the way old mother earth has
to take it with brogans furnished by the United
States Government is no ways slow. But the
difficulty is, we cannot distinguish the from
the women ana the consequence is, that the CO
tilions get 'mixed up.''
Our food is of good substantial quality, and
plenty of 1t, such as bread, beef, pork, beans,
potatoes, coffee &c.
The officers of the Cambria Guards" are men
to whom the company has every reason to feel
greatful-always with their men faring and
sharing amcng the company, and no sacrifice is
too great for them in order to render their men
comfortable and contented. On last SUNDAY
morning when We were visited by heavy shower
of rain, Capt. Litzinger went from tent to tent
ehquiring of his men if they experienced any dis
comforts, and giving instructions how to keep as
dry as possible while he was completely drencb-
ed with the rain.

TO ONE IN HEA YEN.

Sweets to the sweet; farewell maid,
| thought thy bride-bed to have deck'd, sweet
And not have strew'd thy grave--HAMLET.
Fair fowret, nipt by DEATHS untimely frost,
Thou liest cold bu. beautiful in death
Pale-pale thou art, but still thou hast not lost
That look of melting love-as though the breath
That gave them animation once had not yet fed,
Around thy lips plays sweet tranquil smile,
So like, that | scarce can deem thee dead,
But that thou gently slumber'st the while.
All it is hard to lay thee in the tomb,
While what is death seems but balny sleep,
While on thy cheeks the Eues of life still bloom,
And hope, the syren, whispers "cease to weep"
But thou art dead and never more thy voice,
Breathing fond words in friendships gentle tone
Shall bid the mourners round thee now rejoice,
Turning our hearts to thee and thee alone.
Model of love, and gentleneSs and truth,
Too pure and sinleSs for this world of care,
And call'd away in the soft dawn of youth,
Tc bask forever in Heavens balmy air,
We will not weep for thee as one that's dead,
But as an angel who. on glorious wings,
To her true home in Heaven hath early fed
To swell the Anthems to the King of Kings.
A2d we, perchance. when life's vain dream is o'cr
And our pale forms mouldering meath the SOD,
Shall meet thee, loved one On that Alden snore'
And Join the ransomed children of our God.
SootheG by this hope, we lay thee down to rest
Whispering. Farewell, I'VE soon shall meet again,
Then flowers, loves offerings, strew above thy
breast,
And turn to earth, its griefs and cares, again.

Co We publish the following communication,
which appeared in the Johnstown Tribune last
week, merely because an esteemed friend has re-
quesred us to do so. and not because we endorse
the views of the writer. We have heard enough
of such twaddle recently to be heartily sick of it.
We are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement
for running Judge Taylor as an independent cam
didate for the President Judgeship in this Dis
trict, because we know him to be a pure and
upright man, admirably qualified by nature and
education for the position, and because we know
there is no chance of electing a democrat under
the circumstances. But it should be remember
ed, that the fact that ten years ago he elected
the candidate of political party, did not pre-
vent him from being :. clear in his great Office, ,,
and performing its duties with ability and integ
rity. If man is pure and upright in heart, his
election to an office by political party will not
convert MIN into corrupt scoundrel. As gen
eral thing, no party man is no man at ALL
With regard to Associate Judges, they are mostly
mere ''fxtmes'' in our Courts, highly ornamental
but of very little use, except during vacation in
staying writs, hearing prisoners brought before
them on writs of habeas corpus, &c. They have
very little to do with preserving the Judicial
ermine unsOiled. Let them therefore be treat
ed by political parties like other county officers:
&" "AssoCIATE JUDGEs-In view of the fact that
the citizens of this county will have to vote at
the next general election for all the 5udges of our
county, and that the unanimous feeling thrOug-
out the District is in favor of the reelection of
Hon. George Taylor, as President Judge, ire
spective of party feelings influences, permit
me to suggest that it would be wise ard proper
to pursue the course In the selection of our
Associate Judges, to obtain a full court.
free from party influences prejudices. Let hs
set the example to our sister counties Of having
a court entirely free from even the suspicion of
| any party taint, and keep clear of the shameful
course of placing candidates for the judiciary
amongst those named for other offices 10y pOliti
cal parties. If do so the merits or dement's
of aspirants for judicial honors viii be canvassed
by the people without any reference to their po-
litical faith and they, being left to Judge, will
not fail to make choice which will keep the
| bench pure.
! make these suggestions hoping that they
| may draw the attention of the people, (eveTy one
| of whom has interest in the matter,) to the
| great advantage which is ever TO be derived from
having a pure judiciary, untrammelled either by
political success personal predictions antag
| Onistical animOsities- Let the people Judge for
| themselves without reference to any thing else
| but competency and integrity, and having done
so they viii not only feel safe under the legal ad
mnistration of those selected by them, but proud
! of their choice and their course.

Slaves Recognized as Property by
the Republican Party.

Our readers doubtless recollect, that few
weeks ago, number of fugitive slaves took shell
ter in Fort Monroe, and that Gen. Butler, the
commandant there, refused to return them to their
owners, although they made the demand in per
son, Oh the ground that they were contraband of
war-that is personal goods and chattels, useful
to the rebels in carrying their war against the
Government of the United States. This decision
of Gen. Butler was, after due consideration, en-
dorsed and sustained by President Lincoln and
his Cabinet. and also by the n. 7. Tribune, N
7. Post, and every other Re publican and Aboli-
ton newspaper in the Nation. In thus sustain
ing Gen. Butler, our Republican friends have
abandoned their favori:e doctrine that slaves are
not property according to the true intent and
meaning of the Constitution, and that it is the
duty of the National Government to regard them
as human beings, and not mere chattels.-
They now acknowledge that they are contraband
goods, to be seized and treated during the pres
ent war, as so many muskets, swords, or kegs OF
powder. Verify, circumstances alter cases.
If the Republican Party had made this admis-
sion few years ago, the United State! would
not now be cursed with civil war. If slaves had
everywhere DtSn lItdltu aS piOpSiIy WHICH lISg
ran away from their masters, and been promptly
restored to them as such, if Southern men had
been allowed to peaceably emigrate to the Terri
tories with their property including their slaves,
the foul spirit of sectionalism would never have
gained a footholG in the land, and the country
would now be happy and tranquil. The ignoring
of the doctrine that slaves are recognized pro
perty by our National Constitution, produced the
Abolition and Black Republican agitation in the
Northern States, which furnished certain design
ing and ambitious man in the Southern States
with arguments to convince their fell Ow- citizens
In those St1tes that the security of their property
and dearest rights endangered by their con-
tinuing to acknowledge themselves as part and
parcel of the United States, and subject to its
Constitution and laws. But glad our
Republican friends have been compelled to ac-
knowledge the truth even at this late hour
Only think of it, Horace Greeley, VIM. H. Sew
ard and the Republican party, of which they
were the founders and are now the leaders, agree
that tn e L. S. Constitution recognizes slaves as
property, OF a verify, the ase for the happen
| ing of marvellous things has not yet gone by.

BETTER News FROM ENGLAND.-0ur govern
ment has just received large number of dis
patches from all our foreign ministers, of high
ly satisfactory character, regards the feeling
in Europe Among the rest letters have been
received from Mr.. Adams, our Minister to Eng
land, in which he gives a detailed account of an
interview he had with Lord John Russell. The
present condition of this country was fully dis
cussed. Mr.. Adams directed his remarks to the
position assumed by Lord John Russell with ref
erence to a recognition of the rebel government
in the Southern States, and desired to have
clearer Interpretation of his views. Lord John
Russell said he had uttered no sentiment that he
supposed could be taken an expression against
the government of the United States, or in SYM
pathy with any attempt tending to overthrow
that government. A proposition was made by
of the parties to put their interview in writ
ing but objection was made to this. and for
satisfactory reasons not urged. As substi-
tute for this, Lord John Russell assured Mr.. Ad-
ans that he would instruct Lord Lyons to have
an interview with Mr.. Seward, and he expressed
to Mr.. Adams the earnest belief and hope that
the result would be perfectly satisfactory to the
President of the United States. The proposition
of cur government to accept the doctrine of pri-
watering as laid down in the Paris Congress- was
still under Lord John Russells consideration, and
he was waiting communications from the other
European Powers.
