Poll r aising at Zeigler's,

According to announcement, on
Saturday afternoon last a hickory pole
was raised by Mr.. John K. Zeigler,
at lis Restaurant, near the Bel. Del.
r. R. Depot, in this place.
This is decidedly the handsomest
pole we have noticed, being nearly an
hundred feet high. The bark had
been peeled of, and the poll painted
red, white and bluc. Three branch
es, each about ten feet long, projected
upward from the main, on the top Of
eacl was a small American flag. The
large flag was then run up making q
beautiful display
Considering the inclement state of
the weather there was something of a
turn out. No accident ofany kind hap
pened while the pole was being raised
every precaution having been taken by
Mr.. Z. to render everything safe. Not
over ten minutes elapsed from the time
the order was given to raise the pole
until it stood erect, the small flags on
the top futtering in the breeze
An address was expected, but owing
to the approaching storm in was dis
pensed with.

This evening finds NE in my quiet
home-the day is softly declining in
the far beautiful west; all nature is
calmly sleeping, and birds in their
bowers are still, while the moon keeps
softly her watch DER the far distant
hill.
Sammer has come again in all its
beauty with its glorious MONDAY sun,
shining down from the heavens making
he woodlands, wales and streams, ra-
dient with his golden hue Flowers
are freshly springing and lavishing
their sweetness around, shedding from
tleir beauty the rich fragrance, and
loading the air with perfumes. The
white clouds pass by with the beanti-
full shadows fitting gracefully along
upon the world Of green. The wild
birds with soft and gentle songs among
the trees are heard, while the lark
gaily springs on high, warbling in her
airy fight till her fading sounds die
awey in the distance Welcome back
the balmy days of Summer, with fruit
and flowers and all things dear
The dag is closing, and ! am at
my window gazing at the western sun,
and then upon his bright rays that
streak the easter horizon. While
thus enchanted upon tie loneliness of
nature, my eyes fell rivited upon two
young ladies whose sylph like form
moved gracefully along upon delicate
little feet, and | should judge by the
tone of their conversation that the
faScina ing powers of love had a dwell
ling place in their tender hearts; indeed
their charms could not avoid my adj
miration
The American Rangers" have
beel onorabIy discharged from sol
der service. We think it would be
indies ,;ensable for them to remember
their drill.
An election Of officers for the army
has taken place, and resulted in the
choice Of our most indueut al citizens,
well disciplined in military tactics.-
are being made through
out the County for grand reception

Our National Anniversary.

The Nations Birth day draws nigh
apace. We are among those who be-
Iieye it to be the duty Of patriotic
people to observe this festival. It is
peculiarly appropriate that the day
should be welcomed with rejoicings.-
All classes Of people in the loyal
States are deeply interested in sustain
ing the institutions which are the legi-
innate result of the Declaration which
made the day glorious Let US make
timely preparations to usher in the
coming Fourth with salvos of artillery
which shall respond to the thunders
that scatter traitorous hosts. On that
auspicous morn let the bells on every
turret ring out merry peals, because
our country still enjoys the priceless
blessings of civil and religious liberty
1t is fitting that Eloquence and music
should contribute their aid to set forth
the praises of our country's natal day.
On that occasion let us repair to our
temples to supplicate Heavens bles-
sings on the heads of kindred and
friends who may be engaged in throw
ing up entertainments, or rushing over
parapets to strike downthose who are
warning against the best government
ever reared by human wisdom. With
our families let US go forth to shady
groves, to pledge ourselves anew to
stand by the institutions under which
we have enjoyed a large degree Of
felicity. Thus shall we keep alive the
patriotic emotions which inspire our
breasts, and teach our childred that it
is sacred duty to love and serve their
country.

HHAD QUARTERS Co. i. N. J B,
TUESDAY. June 4th 1861. (


DEAR Press. last evening
there was considerable excitement in
our camp, occasioned by orders to
move" Knowing that many of your
readers are anxious to hear from US,
| am not aware of any more efficient
manner through which to inform the
community than to write few lines
for the PRESS
Last evening, after the dress pa
rade, we were ordered to have forty
rounds of cartridge each, which or
der was accordingly obeyed. There
was some talk of our having little
skumishiAg to do before morning =
After receiving our cartridges the
next thing was to get our kcapsacks
ready, SO that they could be used at a
mom3nt's notice. This having been
promptly attended to, the next thing
heard was the tattoo" and then in
order came the bed, where we slept
witt our knapsacks II nder our heads
for a pillow, and our guns by our
side
about three o'clock the next morn
ing the drums beat and the boys he
gan to rush ont of the several tents
and form into line, each company
forming bg itself, when another sig
nal by the dram summoned the sever
al companies in one line on the parade
ground AS usual Company f. was the
first on the ground, and ready for
business. 1t was q splendid sight to
see all the companies in line at so
early an hour in the morning, and
more especially SO wien You take into
consideration the very short time in
forming them
Orders were received for all to he pro-
vided with one days rations Of bread in
our haversack, which was Immediately
brought to us. Shortly after we were
ordered to breakfast, 10 which none
had ,he least objection / do nos
know what The other companies had
for their breakfast, but that furnish
ed for our company consisted of beat
stake, fishes, bread and coffee. Break
fast having been concluded the line
was again formed, and after short
delay, orders were given for the men
to be dismissed, but not soldier to
leave the ground, except 200 which
were to go to the trenches.
When this order was given you
better believe our boy felt disappoin-
ted, for they lad all latner fight than
work or eat either, just at the pres
ent time.
| would state that William O'Dan-
iels, OF the Sd Regiment, has just re-
ceived large box Of cake, bread,
eggs, fnG many other nice things,
amounting in all to several dollars,
which have been laying at the depot
heresuntil they had completely spoiled,
there being nothing in the entire lot
that could be used This is to be re-
GREETED, for favors of this rind are
here
Yours with respect

Volunteer Relief Fund.

this fund is due to-day, and is hoped
that every one will pay promptly to

arer.
We regret to hear that some who
have subscribed have neglected to pay
at all, and in consequence, the commit
tee have had their arrangements some
what interfered with We hope that
this neglect has been through care
lessness and not Intentional, as it
would not speak very well for their
honor, to refuse to pay the sums they
pledged to the support of the families
OF those who have gone to defend our
government. Under all circums an
ces mans word should be as good as
his bond, but especially in this case. -

The Credit system.

"Owe no man anything" was the
injunction of Christian Apostle. If
we were to express the sentiment, we
should prefer the motto of John Ran
dolph, " Pay as you co." because it is
more explicit Owe men we must, in
all the courtesies and kindnesses which
belong to grace and humanity it is q
debt collateral with our being-an OBJ
legation of our nature-therefore the
Apostle was not definite enough, (not
that he was at fault, but rather the
translator) but Randolph hit the
mark when he confined his maxim to
debts pecnniary, which men, under the
present order of things, are liable to
incur He touched with a healthy
philosophy one of the greatest and
commonest of society evils
We take It for granted that as a
general rule, debts pecuniary are con-
tracted to be paid, sooner or later. -
AS general rule, their burthen is
least the sooner they are paid. Interest
usury, dependence, law suits and costs
of many kinds that hang over stan
ding and Irrigated debts, and, if we
could but get at their total in this
country for single year, millions of
dollars to the original obligations. =
Friendships are broken over debts
forgeries and murders are committed
on their account and, however con
sidered, they are a source of cost and
annOyance-and that continually -
They break in everywhere upon the
harmonious relations of men they
render men survile or tyrannous, as
they chance to be debtors or credi-
tors; they blunt sensitiveness to per-
sonal independ and in no respect
that we can fathom, do they advance
the general well-being. The rich have
no excuse for not paying as they go,
and the poor depend upon the pay
ments of the rich to make their own
ends meet. 1t is shameful fact of
the credit system, that the rich pres
ume upon credit and abuse it far more
than the poor. Blessed will be the
day when all men pay as they go.
