County Politics.

The Johnstown Tribune, very reluctantly,
according to its statement. last week raised to
its mast head. the ticket nominated by the
Republican County Convention. The editor
of that paper wanted to get union ticket TO
vote for, and it seems was reluctant to nck-
nowledge the ticket he last week hoIsted, as
the Simon pure article. The Democray are
perfectly satisfied with heir ticket and will
rally around it to man 1t is composed of un-
MON men-men who are ready to make every
sacrifice in their power to preserve the union
and the Constitution, as they were transmit
ted to us by our revolutionary sires. Their
motto, and the motto of the party which sus-
talps them, is embodied In the immortal
words of tho immortal Jackson" The I'm
ion it must and shall be preserved" The
Democracy of Cambria have testified their
devotion to the Union, by hundreds of them
shouldering their muskets and going forth to
meet its enemies on the battle field They
are ready to sacrifice their lives on the altar
of their country. What more could patriot
ism demand of them They are not ready
to join or lead lawleSs mobs for the purpose
of crushing out the liberty of the press or the
freedom of speech, but they are ready to fight
the battles of their country. We have no
charges to make against the patriotism of the
men who compose the Republican County
ticket We entertain no doubt that they are
all Union meu-but, it is strange, very strange
that members Of their party entertained seri-
Gus doubts on the subject, manifested in
their efforts to get up a third ticket-the De-
mocracy gave no countenance to this move
ment, because they knew that every man on
their ticket was staunch Union man.
The Democracy of Cambria have not been
so thoroughly united for years, as they are
at the present time. Ttey are fully alive to
the transcendent and mOmentous importance
of the crisis through which our country is now
passing, and will not allow their ranks TO be
divided or distracted by minor or side issues.
Everywhere they are nerying themselves for
the struggle, and will speak in language not
to be mistaken, on the second Tuesday oi
October. They have Uuion ticket in the
| field, and like true Union men, will support

British Jealousy.

The account of the battle of Manassas,
written By Russell the correspondent of the
London Times, is good illustration of the
feeling of unkindness and jealousy, with
which large majority of the British people
have always regarded this country. 1t is,
judging from the descriptions of the battle We
have received from other sources, tissue of
falsehoods and wilful misrepro sentations of
facts. This was to be expected. There new
er was British traveller in this country
from Charles Dickens down, who could do
justice to the hospital ity OR manners and GUS
toms of our people. 1t is therefore not aston
shing, that they are disposed to sneer at the
discipline and valor of our soldiers. The old
leaven of 1776, still remains the rcbellious
child has not been forgiven. Bunkerhill,
Trenton, Saratoga and Yorktown are as viv-
idly remembered By the subjects of Queen
Victoria. as they were by the generation which
acknowledged allegiance to George the III -
The British Cabinet, British newspapers aud
British men. may say what they please. but
they would rejoice at the emberment of
our glorious and free Republic. Jealousy
and hatred have far more to do with this fee
ling, than anxiety to see this war at an end,
in order that they may obtain supply of cot
ton That Great Britain will acknowledge
she Independence of the Southern Confeder-
acy, as soon as she has the slightest excuse
for so doing. do not entertain doubt.
but if she should do so, it would give no seri-
Gus cause for alarm. 1t would only tend to
unite Our people, and to increase the desire,
to see the war pushed forward with energy
and vigor. Many of our contemporaries ap-
pear to be not little annoyed and irritated
at RusseFs letter. For our part We were
prepared for it: We never anticipated any
thing better from such source

Next to shooting, drumming out of the service is
considered the most severe punishment that can
be inflicted Their crime was kicking and using
offensive language to superior officer. One OF
the others tried sentenced to wear chain
and ball ten days. and be deprived of his pay dur
ing ths same time The remaining prisoner was
sentenced to wear the chain and ball ten days.
Furnishing these offenders has had very sautary
effect on the insubordinate spirits in the Reg't.
Col. Gallagher has also given orders for all gam
bling and profanity to be discontinued. Although
this order has been only partially observed, the
morals of the Camp have improved since it was
given. The Colonel says, s. if some men will
have no character themselves, one will have to
be established for them"
Last Friday a private, belonging to Company
E, was accidentally shot in the right shoulder by
one of the men who were sentenced to wear the
chain and ball. 1t appears that number of
guns were given to this to be cleaned, one Of
which was loaded While the musket under
going this operation it accidentally discharg
ed, with the above result. The man is not dan
gerously but severely wounded, and is now doing
well in the hospital at Georgetown. Not day
| passes that there is not more or less shots dis
| charged in Camp by the careless handling of
loaded muskets. Thus far only two men has
| been injured, and that there has not been more
accidents of the same kind seems like a miracle.
! Our frienI and former fellow townsman, a.
Moore. Esq, surprised us by a hurried visit, on
Tuesday last. Visits from Mountain friends
are more appreciated now t,an they when
we wee located in Camp Wright. They are
something like angels visits, 50 few and far be-
tween.' Mr.. Moore was present, l am informed,
at the review on Wednesday last, and can give a
! full and impartial account of the proceedings of
that day. Yesterday, at half past four p. NJ. all
tie Reg't, except Co. G, started out on picket
guard.
We are stationed along a road northwest of
| Washington City, not more than three miles from
our Camp. The boys have found picket guard,
so far, to be the best part of soldering. Plenty
| to eat can be obtained from the inhabitants. at
reasonable prices. We usually fill our knapsacks
when leaving Camp, with crackers &C., but these
are scarcely all eaten, the soldiers preerrin
to buy while out.
! We expect to go to a place on the Potomac
called Great Falls soon. The pickets remain
there seven days before returning. 1t is also an
nounced that we will return to Was hingtOn City
to aid in guarding it. Some few persons still en-
tertain fears that the rebels will make an attack
on the Capitol. If they DO, and should come this
wav, they will have some difficulty in getting
through. Besides Gen. M'Call's brigade of Penn.
sylvanians, Gen. Smiths is stationed between us
and the chain bridge This brigade was reviewed
by Gen. Mcclellan last Wednesday afternoon.
The health of the - Guards still continues, as
a generally thing, good; few are i'll, but are
far from being dangerous.
Yours in good health and excellent spirits. II.

LETTERS FROM CAMP TENNALLY.
CAMP TENNALLY. AUG. 25tb. 1s6


FRIEND MURRAY: The 1Ith Regt. being out
on picket guard and I off special duty at present,
l will employ my leisure time in writing a brief
narrative of the events worthy of notice, which
have occurred in Camp since you received letter
from here. The Penna. brigade, commanded by
Brig. Gen. M'Call, was reviewed ON last Wednes-
day, Aug. 21st, by Major General Mcclellan and
staff, President Lincoln, and part of the Cabinet
The review was conducted as follows: two reg:
ments were placed in line, at each end of which
a regimental band was placed. Their ranks
were then opened and the reviewers passed in
front and rear of each line. After the standing
review the ranks were closed, and the Reg'ts, by
Comp mics, passed a marching review. The
troops were highly complimented by Gen. NJ
Cellan, both for appearance and discipline. We
arrived IN the Camp of the 'bloody eleventh.
between II and ! o'clock-the review having Ia
ken up, in all, five hours.
Some time since court martial was instituted
in Reg':, for the purpose of trying three cases
of insubordnation. They were tried and convic-
ted. Last Tuesday, in the forenoon. at the close
of Regimental drill, we witnessed the operation
of drumming a man out of the Q. S. service

change in the morals OF the men.
On Saturday the Eleventh was mustered for
pay. general Inspection of arms, accoutre-
ments and knapsacks, with their contents, is
usual on such occasions. Gen. Mccall was pres
ent at the inspection. We will receive our pay
during the ensuing week; this viii be relief to

Our Flag.

I'll sing my contry's glorious flag,
The proud old flag ofyore,
That in the days long since gone by
Our patriot fathers bore.
The dear old flag, long may it wavel
Twas bought with blood and scars,
The legacy our fathers gave
God bless the stripes and stars!
What though, obscured in treason's night,
Some stars have dimmed their rays,
And wandering like motors light
Shot madly from their place;
What though above the fertile fields
Meath our old ensign won.
The broad palmetto" faunts the breeze
Beneath a southern suu?
Not ours the hand that drew the sword
The fist red drops that shed,
The guilt, the damning guilt of blood
Be on our brothers head.
But, wars red flag at length unfurled,
We who have borne so loug,
Will teach our brethren and the world
That patient hearts are strong.
Not ours the hand that suapt the chain
And drew its limbs assunder,
We strOve to stay the storm in vain
When first we heard its thunder.
And history to all time shall tell
How long they spurned our prayers
That we might still be friends, and dwell
In peace with them aud theirs.
We've risen in our might at length;
Our country's foes shall feel
An outaged nations giant strength,
The strength of northern steel.
No more we seek to mend the chain,
No more we WOO with prayers;
Our cannon on the battle-plain
Shall thunder back to theirs.
The old Bay State has risen in might
Her arm is barred once more
Her war cry ringing through the fight,
Remember Baltimorel"
No time for weak or coward words,
Shall all be given to thee.
Undimmed, unconquered, thou shalt wav
In the red light of Mars,
Till the last freeman finds a grave
Beneath the stripes and stars.
No time for idle breath
The man that draws traitors sword
Shall meet traitors death.
