Collecting the Fare.

life ridden in horse car, so Jednthan took

Jedulhan had found an acquaintance at the
other end Of The Car, with whom he was
busy discussing the war, when the bashfnl
and very polite conductor came around for
her tickets and small change. Conductor
stepped up 10 Jerusha, and said, ''Your fare

of wonder that the maiden blushed slightly
She did not know he was conductor. He
appeared TO be anything but that Not re-

"Your fare, Miss !" No change again, but
deep blush o'erspread the already rosy
cheeks OF the pFeny country girl. "Your
fare," The conductor repeated for the third
lime. "Do you think sop' was the unex-

TIE SCAR OF LEXINGTON.

With cherub smile, the praitling boy,
Who on The yetran's breast reclines,
Has thrown aside his favorite toy,
And round his tender finger twines
Those scattered locks that with The fight
OF four score years are snowy white
And as a scar arrests his view,
He cries, ''Grandpa, what wounded you y
My child, tits five and fifty years
This very day, this very hour,
Since from scene of blood and tears,
Where vaIor fell, by hostile power,
I saw retire The setting sun,
Behind the hills of Lexington
While pale and lifeless on the plain,
My brothers lay Tor freedom sainl
And ere that fight the first that spoke
In thunder 10 our land was o'er,
Amid the clouds of FIRE and smoke
fell my garments wet with gore
'Tis since that wild and dread afray,
That trying, dark, eveniful day,
From this calm April eve so far,
l wear upon my cheek The scar.
When thou TO manhood shall be grown,
And am gone ih dust 10 sleep,
May ireedom's rights be still thine own,
And thou and thine in quiet reap
The unhIighied product OF the toll,
In which my blood bedewed The soil,
And while those fruits then shalt enjoy,
BelhAk thee of this scar, my boy.
But should my couHiry's voice be heard
To bid her children fly TO arms,
Gird on thy erandsire s irus!y sword,
And undismayed by wars alarms,
Remember on The battle field
] made The hand OF God my Shield,
And be thou spared like me to tell
Who bore thee up while others fell.

Letter from Camp Gibson.

Ma EDIToR Again we have changed
our position. On the 2sd nit. this Regiment,
accompanied by he 7lh Penn'a., according
10 orders of General Mccall, marched for
this Camp. The marcia distance of about
nine miles-was a severe test of our "meial. J"
The heat was intense, and, must confess,
confused mine as well as the ideas OF many
others, of soldering We were detained a
short time at Washington, where Colonel
Biddls, Aid-de. Camp to General Mccall,
joined u.s.
This Camp is in the District of Columbia,
but near the line dividing it from Maryland.
il is four miles west of Georgetown, near
the public highway, leading 10 the city,
within three miles OF the Potomac. and o.
but two hours march of the s'long BRIDGE
Altogether, il is desirable position, ard if
any attempt is made By the foe to cross the
river in this direction, they will certainly be
saluted oy muskeiry and Sherman's Battery,
in becoming manner. A portion of this
battery, under command of Lieutenant,
(the Captain having been taken prisoner in
The engagement at Bulls RUM is now en-
camped near Us.
AT present there are Ten Regiments of the
Penn'a. Reserve Corps in this immediate
viciniiy,-among them the third under Col.
H. G. Sickless sixth, Col. w. w. Ricketts,
seventh, Col. E. B Harvey eighth, Col. G.
B. Hays; ninth, Col. C. T. Jackson tenth,
Col. J. S. McCaImont. In addition to this

as strength to our Regiment.
Since here find vigiience as indispensi-
bic as my musket or ammunition. Not long
since all the Regiments here were called
out at :wo o'clock in the morning. The
cause, we are told, was that the rebels were
advancing in this direction. Each Regiment
IN turn, is obliged to act as picket guard
for tweniy-four hours. On Sunday last, our
Regiment, with the exception of one com
pany, was on this duty. We were stationed
in squads of five--a Corporal and four pri-
vates-about one mile from Camp. The
object of this is, to holt all suspicious per-
sons and thus intercept dispatches that
might be carried between this and The city.
The hon Guards are in good spirits, and
anticipate abrushn soon. To-day they
have exchanged the old, heavy and useless
muskst, for the Springfield rified musket.--
They are lighter and in every respect supe-
nor 10 any in the service.

Is believed he will soon be with us.

[ [WashingtOn Correspondence Of the Chicag

[Washington Correspondence of the Chicago
Journal.
Since The battle OF Bull Run, have con-
versed with many officers and soldiers that
participated in the contest and of these,
scores have testified TO the most shocking
acts of torture and oarbarity, practiced upon
our wounded By the Rebel soldiers. Two
fine appearing men of the Massachusetts
9th told me of The iahuman butchery of one
of the ir comrades-a Lieutenant in the COM
pany 10 which they belong. He was wound
e6 in the knee and fell into the hands Of
the enemy after crawling some rods in his
attemp: TO escape. He was surrounded by
a small squad of Rebels, one OF whom de-
manded OF The wounded loyaist his name
and place of residence.

A Shameful Affair.

The Venango Spectator published at Fra nix
the most reckless, brutal and feEdish ouira-
ges ihsthave yet resulted from the lawless
attempts TO crush the, freedom of speech. To
what state must a community have arrived
that tolerates such an atrocious condition of
public sentiment as this report showsl Bad
as II is though, it is but an index of the inev-
liable results that must follow the continued
teachings of the abomnable sentiments that
have been instilled into the public miAd of
late, by the leaders and presses of the Re
publican party. The Spectator says:
"a gentleman, whose veracity is un-
doubted, informs us OF the particulars of an
outrage committed upon the family of Mr.
Jacob Dietrich, of Pinegrove township, on
the 22d of June last. The substance of our
intormanps statenenet is, that on that day
there was a pole raising at Cenireville,
near Mr.. D's residence, in which all parties
assisted, and that all things proceeded in
harmony until about 5, p VI. About that
time two boys, one son of Mr.. Dielerich,
which resulted in several other persons
taking part against young Dieterich. A
crowd OF persons, several OF whom were
armed chased young Dieterich 10 his fathers S
house. On arriving at the fence, in front
OF the house, several of the mob seized Mr.
D., across the fence and tore his shirt from
his back. Some half dozen then rossed
The fence and commenced an attack upon
this ore unarmed man. During his melee
