CAMP WR1GHT, July 9th, 1861.

Friend Murray Having few spare mo-
ments I will employ them in giving brief
narrative of the events which have transpired
in Camp Wright during the last few days
On Tuesday last we viii nine other companies
were formed into a regiment This regiment
is the eleventh of the Pennsylvania reserve.
The election of field officers took place the
same day, resulting as follows; Col Gallaher
of Westmoreland county, Lieut. Col. James r.
Porter of Indiana, and Major jackson. q do
not remember what county Major Jackson
halls from } These officers have the confidence
of those under their command.
The 4th. was celebrate with due honor to
the day our independents was declared. The
brass six FOUNDER, noticed by one of your
former correspondents, was fired thirty-four
times besides numerous discharges of musketry
and other shooting irons of smaller calibrc.
Two of the regiments in camp were marched
out at four o'clock, to grove near the camp,
where the Declaration of Independence was
read by Lieut.. Colonel Grant of the Erie regi-
ment; an able and eloquent address was deliv-
cred by Lieut.. d. S. Porter OF the Indiana
Nationl Guards; the regiments were then
marched to dress parade, and dismissed.
Among the hosts of visitors who were in camp
during the day, were present many of our
friends from Ebensburg, quite a number OF
whom were ladies Of coursethey received a
hearty welcome from all the boys, particu-
! larly the ladies.
We were visited on last Wednesday by A.
4. Barker, Esq who presented to the com-
pany the following useful articles, viz: So
in Postage Stamps, 30 lbs. of Tobacco, and
the lemonade for each member. This is but
ono Of the many favors Mr.. Barker has done
for the Cambria Guards.
l should have stated before that our posi-
tion in the regiment is on the extreme right.
Co. a. The members of the Guards
were unanimous in desiring to get Co. A.
before they receive it. and as a natural con-
sequence all were jubilant when Capt. Lit
Finger announced that we held the first post

WAR NEWS, AND OTHER ITIMs

WILLIAM, PORT, ND, July 2nd-The FEEDER
al forces are now across the Potomac, at this
point, beyond n doubt.
This morning, at three o'clock, the move
ment was inaugnrated by sending over Me
Muileu's Rangers and three compaies of the
Eleventh as scouts After crossing, they
passed up ravine opposite the town, and up
on reaching the bead it became necessary to
countermarch around it. While this was
doing. tie rear rank men became excited and
fired across the raviDe at those ahead, who
happened 20 be Mem ullin's men. Three Law
down and let the fire pass over their heads.
No one was hurt except the guide, Mr.. Jer-
ONE Clawsno, who received ball upon one of
his ribs, but it glanced off witout penetrating
He did not leave his duties.
a little before four o'clock the regular eros
sing of the forces commenced in the following
order WISCONSIN Regimet, Twenty-third,
Sixth, Twenty first. Ninth, Sixteenth, Twen-
ty-fourth, Twentieth. Seventh, Tenth, First,
Second, Third, Fourteenth, Fifteenth. Col
! Thomas Cavalry, the Philadelphia City Troop
and the Rhode Island Battery which came IN
last night, crossed during the passage of the
regiments. 1t is now 10 a. NJ, and nearly
all are across with their baggage and appur-
| tenances, and the advance has reached point
near Falling Waters, where 1t was expected .
resistance would be afforded.
! The whole crossing was effected quietly
and in order. The mer all waded across. the
water not being more than two and half
deep in the deepest places. The weather was
all that could be desired. The rain of last
night had laid the dust and very pleasant
breeze was blowing.
AboGt four o'clock, this morning, two mer
from Sharpsburg came up, having under ar
rest noted Secessionist, named Stonebreaker
who has been, according to report, extensive
ly engaged in the destruction of the dams anC
bridges.
Two members of the City Troop, Messrs
Fossitt and Rivinus, have just came in, bear

him to be a sincere Democrat, and will, with
pleasure, labor zealously to secure his cleo
ton.
The Ticket is a good one. but strange to
saw. the best man OH it comes last. John 5.
Rhey, Esq, was nominated by acclamatlon
for the Office of Auditor for one year, made
vacant by the resignation Of Z I Lytle, Esq.
On the resignation of Mr. Lytle in last Decem-
ber. the Court appointed Mr. Rhey. to fill the
office Of course he did not solicit the nomi-
nation from the convention. 1t was intended
merely as compliment TO one of the bright
est intellects, and best Democrat in the State.
And now, Democrats of Cambria, your dele
gates have faithfully performed their duty
Are you ready to perform yours with equal
fidelity, on the second Tuesday of next Octo-
per? Are you willing to sacrifice all your
private grievances on the alter of your coun-
try? We think we can confidently answer
for you. In this awful moment of our coun-
trys travail, you are determined to keep the
standard of Democracy floating in triumph on
these grand old Allegheny hills. The Noun
tains have ever been the home of Liberty ;
and in the present war between the friends
and enemies of the Constitution, the Noun
taineers Of Cambria have not marred their
proud record of the past. The call of their
country,was 20 them even as the voice Of God,
They were the very first to offer their services
to the Government as volunteers. More than
700 of the citizens of this county are now in
the tented field and at least two thirds of them
are Democrats. What better evidence cod tie
Mountaineers afford to the world, that they
love their country and are ready to pour forth
there hearts blood to maintain it. Here, at
the darkest moment Of the struggle, the voice
Of Democratic patriots was heard exhorting
our country to be of good cheer, and to hurl
defiance at her foes. Let US be equally stead
fast during the rest of the civil strife. Lee
us who remain at home, do our duty, by Ia
boring for the triumph of the eternal prihcl
pies of right, and the success of the Demo
cratic party the party that has always carried
the flag and kept step to the music of The
Union. Ia the deluge, the Ark first found ;
resting place on the mountain top, amids
! the wild waste OF waters. and we feel conf
dent, that in this unnatural war. however
high the waves of disunIon may rise, th
| Ark of our country will, at least, find rest
ing place on these Allegheny hills and her
American Liberty will fall at last, if fall sh
must. amidst the proudest monuments of he
own glory, and on the very spot of her origin

Fourth OF July at inc Green sIeado.vs.

Friend Charlie Il cannot let the occasion pass
without letting yOu and the rest Of mankind
know, that we celebrated the glorious Fourth Of
July, 1861, at the Green Meadows, in Susque-
hanna twp, in the old Fashioned style. We
met at the house of +. Bearer. lately occupied by
Isaac Clifford, and organized by appointing D.
NJ. Heinbach President, John Kimball and Rich
ard Maslen Vice-Presidents, and VIM. II. Hill
Secretary. Upon motion the Declaration Of In
dependence was read by T. Bearer, after which
John Kimball was loudly called for, who respon-
ded to the call by delivering patriotic speech,
amidst loud cheers. y motion was then made
to have a regular koe-down, whereupon com
mittee Of five young men were appointed to bring
in the girls; said committee started on their
uissi II and soon came back with five wagon
loads of young ladies. who were all willing and
oIc to dance all night til! broad Cay light and
go home with the boys in the morning." We
now partook of a substantial dinner, prepared
by Mrs. John Kimbali. Mrs. Cyrus Fronk, Mrs
Wm. Ii. Hill, and Mrs. f. Bearer, to all Of whom
our thanks are hereby given fOr the good things
they set before us, to which we done ample JUS
tice After dinner was over and the table clear
eG of, a number of patriotic toasts were given
and also three cheers for the Democrat and Sen
tiael, as the Democratic organ of Cambria coun
ty. Then we commenced the dance which was
kept up till 10 O'Clock, when the Young mel
brought their wagons and took each young lad!
back to her mothers care; but before they started
the ladies proposed three cheers for the Union
and declared themselves for Union-tO a man.

Extracts from Horace Greeley;s
CatcCHIsm.
lues. What Is patriotism Z?

Cues. What Is patriotism?
Ans. Contendlng that the war which is
now being waged by the Government against
the seeded states, is a war for the extera-i-
nation Of Slavery in this country. that peace
should not be concluded until this object Is
fully accomplished and that consequently i
would be wrong for the Government to en-
deavOur to suppress slave instructions in the
Southern States, if any should hereafter
occur. They should be encouraged instead
of discouraged.
Who are traitors?
All who contend that this is a war fo5 the
preservation of the Union, and not crusade
against Slavery-in short, all who deny the
correctness Of any or al of the proposition
contained in the answer to the first question
Who are friends of the constitution?
All tho contend that President Lincoln
was right, in arrogating to himself the pow
er to suspend the privilege OF the writ of
Habeas Corpus throughout the United States
a plain provision of the Constitution, TO the
contrary notwithstanding.

colt has been said that good christian is a
good thing; that is very true, and we insist
that an efficient presiding officer of delibera-
tive body is good thing also Iftbis be so,
then the County Convention on last Mon
day, displayed remarkable wisdom in selecting
w. W. Harris as their President; we mean
no disparagemeut to Mr.. FeDlon; he is our
neighbor and friend, and knowing him as
we do, we can say that he is good man and
sincere Democrat; the Delegates however
selected Mr. Harris as their chairman, and
we must say. that IN our brief experience, we
do not recollect a more cfieIent presiding
officer than Mr. Harris proved himself 70 be !;
he labored zealously to promote the union Of
the Party, and we trust he will have his reward
hereafter.
As an original jackson township man, We
feel proud of him, and also proud Of John
Singer for the large vote he received for the
office of commissioner, and the graceful man
ner in which he submitted to his defeat. He
is for the whole ticket and nothing but tie
ticket Hurra for jackson township there
are not many of them but they are as true as
steel, and we are proud we got our LoTH"
among them.

N-. Editor Il am gratifed to learn that the
birthday of our National independence has been
celebrated in a tit manner, at least throughout
the good cid Heystcne State; and also that ''lit-
tie Cambria was not behind her sister counties
in the good work.
Although our village very quiet during
the day, owing to a number of Its inhabitants
attending a celebration at St. Augustine, l do
assure you we made up for it in the evening. Our
neighbor, Mr.. John B. Myers Esq, proprietor OF
the Loretto House, gave grand cotillon party,
which, although there were but nine gentlemen
and five ladies present. was truly very pleasant
party. We commenced dancing at about seven
O'Clock, P NJ, and kept up until eleven O'Clock,
enjoying ourselves well, and
s. Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again
And all went merry a marriage-bell.
Then some cakes and beer were handed around
after the devouring of which, we resumed the
dancing and done ample justice to the sweet mu-
sic discoursed by Messrs. A. J. Bradley and L.
Beaher, who were the violinlsts engaged for the
occasion.
About three O'Clock some of Us who had been
imbibing too freely, got a little boozy, and con.
cluded to adjourn for the night We gave three
cheers for the Union and then
