MAJOR ANDERSON said of the men he had
with him in Fort Sumter: ssUntil man is half
starved, half smothered, half poisoned, and
on the voyage to eternity in this state, he
never can know what men had, or under
stand the measure of the valor that made sur
render the last thought with them.''

s.AHoSoR AND VIoToRY.-To Win the Battle in
which We are now engaged, without severe
and desperate struggle, would be to win with
out honor. To pass through the traitor ter
ritory and not have the satisfaction of coping
with treason, would be to leave the poison un-
checked in the body polite. We must hare a
Battle! Those who have arrayed themselves
against the government must be brought to
terms of obedience at the point of the bayonet
or the muzzle of the cannon. Those who
have armed for the defence of their country
by the vindication of its honor, must have the
satisfaction of humiliating and chastising their
countrys foes. Any other mode of settling
the differences between loyalty and treason,
will only alay and not check and forever de-
stroy the rebellion. There are of course diff
fculties in the way of such settlement, but
without difficulties to contend with, there
would be no success. Where there is nothing
to struggle for, there is nothing to achieve.
But when we remember all that we are now
struggling for-thc rich inheritance of our
fathers that we desire to transmit uutarnished
to our children-we forget all but our God,
our country and our destiny.

THE RAFTsMEN RANoERs.-This is new
military company, organized at Curwensville,
after the first requisition for men was issued
by the President of the United States. They
left Curwensville on last Thursday morning,
under the. command Captain Ed. A. Irwin,
tor Harrisburg, and are now in Camp Curtin.
we have been informed, that this company is
composed Of as fine looking lot of men as
the s.Camp" can produce. They are stout
and hearty, and make quite an imposing mil
itary appearance. Our friend, John Patton,
met the .sRangers'' at Tyrone, and presented
each man with good flannel military shirt
which, we presume, would be quite comforta-
BILE during this cold aud wet weather. The
company numbers IS men; and we feel, con-
ident, should the opportunity ever present it
self, that the Changers will make their mark
in the world. They have our best wishes for

MACHINE TO ExTINGUIsH THE REBEL
LIoN.-The Philadelphia Enquirer cont aims
the following comprehensive recommendation
for putting a speedy termination to the re-
bellion -
Our countrymen at large should be en-
couraged by the Government to direct their
attention forthwith to the improvement of all
sorts of instrumentalties. The records of the
Patent Office show that the inventive faculty
ofthe country is in the Northern States. Let
our Yankees 60 to work, and we doubt not
but that they will soon be able to turn out
some unheard of and undreamed of imple-
ment or missile which will sweep our enemies
from the face of the earth. Take our word
for it, these geniuses will yet produce some
patent Observation-Disclosures, some Traitor
Annihilator, some rebel Thrasher, some Con-
tederate Stath Milling Machine, which will
grind through, shell out, or slice up this war,
as if it were a bushel of wheat, or an ear OF
corn. or big apple.

GERS now on non-combhtant duty in the de-

Gen. Scott has declared that he will hence
forth keep the educated men at tho seat of

CAyENDIsH lTEMS.-HB Anterior, Esq.
warm advocate of regiment of Vermont
Zouaves, has recently had rendered him by
His Excelency, Governor Fairbanks, the en-
listment and command of company of the
best rifle shots in the State which is about to
be raised for Berdan's regiment of Sharp
Shooters. MIR. Anterior, however, prefers to
raise a company of Zouaves for one of the
next Vermont regiments which are to be
raised Immediately, and this he expects to
do, having his headquarters at Cavendish
where he will be happy to correspond with
all those who receive recruiting papers and
wish to form regiment of Zouaves. He is
assured that, if number of the new compa-
MES about to be raised in this State, sufficient
for regiment, shall wish to adopt the Zou-
ave drill, they will be well instructed and
properly uniformed. Vermont can furnish
the hest of material fer this arm of the SER
vice, and there is no doubt of its efficiency
and the absolute necessity for it.
The people of Cavendish and neigbboring
towns are making preparations to give the
Cavendish Light Infantry a cordial reception
on their return from Newport News. An
ample collation. for the soldiers and their
