camp since my lat, until TO day but
while am writing our quarters ale in a
ierment at the prospect of moving from

just been issued to hold ourselves in read,

bly, we may leave here before to>morrow
morning.
Our destination is OF cor:rse unknown.
but the Impression is that il is towards
the Seat Of War; and in all probability
before this reaches you We will be in South
ein territory, and before il meets the eyer
of your numerous realers. we may have
had taste OF Southern lead and STEEL
Heaven guard the brave hearts that beat
so fondiy for their friends in Clear6eld.
Some OF them may be near tn, period OF
their last puisaiions.. Yet you would
scarcely believe, il you had heard the
deaienins cheers with which the ,inlelli-
gence OF the speedy prospect of active,
.erv:ce was greeted in the quarters of the
Washington Cadets" that dea,l. was one
of its concomtants. .t. t...,.. ..
Ny letter this time must necessarily be
brief. All about our quarters is hustle
and hurry, amid which each one is striyr
ing to scrawl n hasty line Of parting 10
some fondly remembered friend or com
panio,i. With myself the "REruDLicAS"
shall not be overlooked. Send it 10 me

at seeing letters in your columns from
Camp Curtin, written by one ftheir mum.

of the kind.
The weather has been very w,im and
cry here for two or three weeks, until
night befo. G last, when we had refresh
ing shower, and another this morning
II we get any further South il vii. be no,
enough without any fighting; but We

week il some stray bullet does not spoil
my calculations in the meantime. Ii we
do not leave here, Of course, if living,
will appi ize you OF the fact if not, you
will Likely learn it from some other
source.
But must close this fruitless letter. =

YOU of our expected departure, and have
wasted cat many words in doing it,
We must be more judicious in using our
powder and ball than your correspondent

Cnolcr L,SGuAGE. The following choice
morsel we clip from the Pine and Eaha, u
newspaper published at Boston and New

"If freedom can only prevail through III,
agency ofvengcance, so bt 1t; if the Tenn lie o.
Liberty can only stand securely on the corpse,
of slaveholders--so be it rather 1T the whit,
race be swept from the face Of the earth, thar
endure the perpetuity of negro bondage. W,
would hesitate at, no conceivable atrocity u,
leouid spdr, neither porior nor cradle, neither ag
nor ser-dih we believe that they must perish IL
order that Negro slavery might perish will

We are afraid that our dark coloret
friends and their ehite allies, are spouting
a little too fast, and may be nipped by an
untiniely frost. 1t is worth their Will,
to consider over tho matter nj oil events
The Democracy will be about when the,
