Friend Schoch.-The package of the JEFF

we were all well pleased to hear from Mon

per. This morning we commence The first
day at this paradise Of camp. 1t is de-
lightful spot, and we feel like enjoying it. af-

this letter, ii brings back to my mind the in

think that would this day be in the United
States Army, to defend and fight for the Con-
stitution and Laws of our great country
that constitution and those laws which eleuen
years since gave me the great privilege of
marching my company within the United
States anywhere, from Maine to Texas, and
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific Now we
are divided people. Would to God that it
were not SO. Our Union Army will obey the
great Union command of the great General
jackson, of the secession days of 1-33-"By
"the Eternal. the Union must and shall be
preserved" The drum head is generally
my writing desk, a trunk my seat, and the
musket box, with my blankets, my bed. We
feel comfortable nov, as we have a handsome
green lawn, good shade and good water
We expect to remain here sometime, TO guard
lhe city and the government property. We
have this place in possession, and its former
owner, General Stewart, rebel General, in
safe keeping at Fort McHenry. Marshal
Kane, another secesher the former Chief of
Police, is also safe at Fortress Monroe We
have had two seceshers arrested since our ar
rival, and we arrest every man that dares to
utter secession sentiments

The Latests War News

Our correspondent furnishes interesting
intelligence from South Western Virs;n.
ia. in noting the progress of Gen Cox's
Brigade 10 pursuit of Gen. Wise and his
command. Though our troops had not
succeeded in overtaking the rekels, it is
quite evident they we're close upon their
heels, as, 10 their flight, they were obliged
to leave behind them large quantity Of
arms, powder. and even bacon. The Q.
vacuation of Western Virginia by the re-.
bells is complete.
A large number of military appoint
meDts and prom otious were confirmed BY
the Senate yesterday.
We have at last the most gratifying in.
telligence from one vessel of the Gulf
block adiDg squadron. detailing very ac-
tive operations. The u S. Steamer
South Carolina, has destroyed and cap
tured eleven sail vessels. At this rate.
the blockade will be found to be quite
efficient enough to suit the Rebels, at
least.
A di'patch was received by Senator
Harlan OF Iowa last night. stating that
large force of Retels bad invaded Iowa,
and taken possession of Croton, q small
place on the Des Moines River, near Kc-
okuk - Tribune.

Secession in Barret.

In Coveville, in this good old town,
One evening when the sun was down,
When Union men to bed had gone
Their doors all barred quite carefully
Some persons, then. of lofty mien (mean)
In divers places could be seen,
Before their doors upon the green,
Embracing Miss Disloyalty.
July the fourth, from North to South
Their throats affected by the drouth-
They met at Prices, ope'd their mouth
And drank their "toddy" hastily.
Their President they next did toast
Three cheers broke from that mighty host
While he, old man, like some grim ghost,
Presided over grinningly.
Next some of them, molly crew,
Those mighty resolutions drew
Which teach our Country what TO do:-
Let rebels reign triumphantly.
A "compromise" they now would have
The taxes ''sha mt" their pockets shave
Against the war the great conclave
Turns heart and hand so spreeingly,
Again little ''schnops" they take,
Hurrahing till the earth does shake,
Causing the Union men to wake
And look upon them pityngly.
"a once proud nation bowed in war;"
1t ne'er can be united more,
For CovesviIle "braves," no doubt, ''half
tore"
Upheld the South in roguery.
Some say disunion is their theme
BY day their iak--by night they dream
A Union mob By them is SEEM
Perhaps they then feel cowardly.
Methnks. sometimes, their hearts grow old
And then they do not seem so bold
When through the papers they are told
Our men have had victory.
They heard the news about Bull Run,
Laughed in their sleeves, no doubt; twas
fun
To hear what rebels there had done:
Put Union troops in jeopardy.
But how they'll rave if things should
change
Their hair they'll pull-next. they'll ar
range
A fifty FOUNDER filled with chains,
And man their fortress daringly.
Then if we should their army take
Repentance then would come too late.
Their lands and cash we'd confiscate-
Send them to pot" unwlIingly.
And when the North had won the stake,
Beauregard and Jeff we'd take
A public show of al we'd make
Aud then they'd beg for 'liberty."
Next ropes around their recks we'd tie
Like fellons they'd together die
Because foul treason" was their cry
Oh, then they'd kick tremendously.

A burglarious entrance was made into the

this county, on Friday night last, which did
not. however, prove very profitable to the
burglars: Itappears that little girl residing
in the neighborhood informed AIr. Me,zgar.
towards evening, that a couple of suspicious
looking men were secreted on the hill near
the store, one of whom was Simon Berry, an
old offender in these parts, and who had but
recently escaped from the New Jersey State
Prison, at Trenton. Having a suspicion

one trying keys upon the front door lock, and
prepared to give the intruder a warm recep-

did not appear to work right and the burglars
left. Alr. Metzgar then came out of the
store to get fresh air, and went to his house
and loaded his rife, to be better prepared for
the rogue should he return He then took a
position in the road where he could watch
the premises. Soon after he saw two men
go to the front door of the store and after an
other trial of keys suddenly disappear from
sight. He then called some of his neigbbors
and they approached the store with the inten-
