ent, to join this Regiment. The men all
have the utmost confidence in Capt Jones.
They look upon him, not as a naughty
officer who wishes to tyrannize over them !;
but more as a true friend, nay an elder
brother, one who would not sacrifice, even
the feeling of the most humble, to satisfy
his ambitious desires. With such a man,
they feel that they shall want for nothing

vailing sentiment seems to be, lead US
forward, show US our duty, and we will
perform it according to the best of our
ability. Yours, Respectfully,

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
OFFICERS TENT, CAMP CURTIN,
October 3lst. 1860.

DEAR SIR: Allow me to present you
with an outline of the adventures of Capt.
Jones and company since leaving Couder-
sport and their future prospects Nothing
of peculiar interest occurred during our
ride from Coudersport to Wellsville. AT
the entrance to the latter place we were
met by the Wellsville Fire Company, and
escorted to Van Buren's hotel, where we
found an excellent supper in readiness
Tor US, which was refreshing to the "iuner
man. After supper some time was spent
in making speeches, singing patriotic
songs &c. General good feeling seemed
to prevail. At one time Capt Jones ad-
dressed his men as follows "Tf there is
any man In the company who is dissatis-
fed with his lot, and would like to return
home, let HIM speak and he shall be hon.
orably discharged" No one seemed de-
sirous of leaving the ranks, but on the
contrary, ''onward' was the motto, and
| believe it was firmly inscribed upon
every heart. At | o'clock A. NJ, we
took the cars for Harrisburg, where we
arrived at about 3 o'clock, p. NJ, and at
Camp Curtin at 81 o'clock, 2. NJ.
We have been mustered into the United
States service and are getting pretty well
initiated into camp life. IT'S true we
do not enjoy the comforts of home, vet
we have everything essential to health.
We are provided with excellent cloth
tents, which will shed rain except in a
violent storm every man is provided
with large, thick blanket, good suit
of outer clothes, besides heavy military
cloak, two under shirts, two pair of
drawers, and two pair of socks. Our
food consists of beef, pork, potatoes, beans,
bread, crackers, sugar, coffee, salt, peper,

Woolsey Burtis, Esq,
DEAR SIR The compensation to As
SCISSORS for their services in making enroll
ment of persons liable to perform military
dnty, is by law fixed at the same rate as
paid for making he annual assessment Of
perty. 1t would seem proper, therefore,
as the two services cannot be divided
that each should be charged its share of
expenses, in the proportion Of the amount
Of assessment to tie whole expense in
Cured. Very respectfully,
E. NJ. BIDDLE, Adj. Gen.
To Hoolsey Bartis:
DEAR SIR I am directed by the Ad-
jutant General to forward to you the ac-
companying document as your guide in
paying the Commissioners, Clerks and
Assessors for making the military tax
rolls, &c. For instance if the valuation
of the real and personal property in Har-
rison township is Forty Thousand Dollars
and the Assessors bill for making said
assessment is So and the military tax is
$50, the paw of assessors for military tax
must be at the same per cent. as S12 for
taking the assessment upon real and per-
sonal estate. All persons having bills
against the Brigade must make their bills
at the above rate. The County Commis-
sloners and Clerk must be paid at the
same rate. All monies otherwise paid
will be charged to you as Treasurer of the
county. 1t is fact that the Assessors
are paid by the county tor every day that
they are employed in the entire assessment.
The Commissioners receive their 81 per
day for every day they are employed in
their office. The Clerk is hired by the
year. No money will be paid for military
parade and drill until the end of the war.
1t is expected that these instructions will
be strictly adhered to.

of the 20,l7 three months men,
mustered out of service in July
last, will be 1910
The quota of men called for from Penn
sylvanla by the last proclamation of the
President, says the telegraph, Was 75,-
900, and thus 1t is shown by the above,
that the authorities have succeeded in
exceeding this amount amount by tuen-
ty-Sic men! In doing this, it is worthy
of notice, that there are throughout the
State thousands of men ready to respond
to any further requisjtion that may be
made on the authorities of PENNSYLVANIA
for increased numbers, and there is ma
terlal yet left among our mountains to
form at least fifty more regiments if it is
deemed necessary hat the old keystone
State should contribute that increase to
suppress rebellion.
These statements, based on the most reli-
able facts and figures, show result such
as 10 other State In the Union can ez-
hibit, Notwithstanding the social and re-
hgious organization Of our communities
renders vast portion of our people con-
scientious on the subject of bearing arms
against their follow men in any cause or
for any purpose. In Philadelphia, Della
ware, Montgomery, Bucks and Chester
counties, where the Quaker sentiment and
religion to a large extent prevail, the en-
llstment of men was immense-and in
counties also where the Mennonite sect
numbers a vast portion of the population,
the same energy was manifested to swell
our army and contribute financially to the
support of the government Beyond
Philadelphia, there are counties in the
commonwealth which have forwarded en-.
tire regiments, while along our borders,
as we show in figures, the enlistment for
other States was immense.
Taken altogether, We submit this state
ment with pride, because it places Penn,
sylvania In the position justly h er due, of
having first given birth to the Do claration
of Independence; second, that the con-
vention to form the Constitution was held
within her limits, and now she sends forth
from her midst, and from among her bra.
vest and most hardy sons, lar Der force
to sustain the Declaration of Independ-
ence and vindicate the Constitution and
laws, than has been contributed by any
other commonwealth iu.the Union.

PHASE IN WESTERN LIFE.

A Presbyterian clergyman, Rev. Mr..
ChIdlaw, gives the following description of
one of the modes of calling the people togeth-
er for religious service. in some Of the sparse
ly populated districts Of the West. II affords
a strong contrast with the conveniences for
worship which are enjoyed by the dwellers in
our cities and large towns:
