Mr.. EDIroR,
We arrived at this place yesterday. 1t is a small
town, situated about two hundred yards from
the Philadelphia, Wilmington q Baltimore Rail-
road We are, however, quartered at the railroad
the men in large warehouse, and the officers
at the depot The quarters are very comfortable,
both for officers and men-a great deal better
than any we have had yet. The people here ap,
pear TO be very kind, and are nearly all Union
men. The Stars and Stripes is floating over a
house right below our quarters. My company
is the only one posted here. Captain Siegired,
of Col, Nsgle's regiment, whom | relieved, told
me that he and his command had been treated
very kindly ty the citizens. They ware here three
weeks think we have the best location of any
of the regiment. We must act with great deal
| OF caution, however.
The Muncy company are posted al Chesapeake
City, about six miles from the railroad. They
had 10 march that distance last evening. The
nearest company to me is Captain Johnson's S,
from Pittston- He is about three miles below US.
We have two sentines posted about three quar-
teTs Of mile below the quarters, and two a cou'
pie OF hundred yards above, along the railroad, to
watch the bridges and eulyerts At night we
increase the number. We have plenty of am.
unition. It Is foTy'eight miles from here to

sr.proep COUNTY VOLUNTEERS.

In Justice TO the citizens Of Bradford
county, who have been traduced as wanting
10 patriotism by some Of the press, whose
narrow views Of patriotism never permit
them to see anything beyond the line Of
their owe promotion to Office, we publish the
following article from the Bradford Reporter:
The BRADFORD VoLUNTEERs.-We notice
that q portion Of the press Of the State is
indulging 10 dsparagipg remarks concerning
the action Of Bradford county, 10 furnishing
Volunteers for the defence of our Country's
flag. We notice particularly that. those
papers which seemingly take the greatest
pleasure 10 this unwarranted defamation, are
those who needed the exhibition Of public
feeling to develops their patriotism. News
papers which have provoked public indigna-
ton, and been threatened with the public
wrath, for their reasonable publications, are
the most ready, of course, to 6nd fault with
Others, for being backward in answering the
call for troops.
We shall not attempt to vindicate the pa.
triotism aud courage Of our people. 1t would
be sufficient answer to the ill.natured and
uncalled for remarks INDUCED 10 by some of
the democratic papers, to point to the fact
that there are now in Camp Curtin .fue
Companies from Bradford, imploriEg in vain
TO be accepted for the war-that other CON-
panes have been organized here, and really
to march, which have been disbapded, be.
cause it was officially announced that they
would not be accepted.
This County was not the frst to tender aid
| to the Government, we are free to admit, be-
| cause it is strictly an agricultural county, and
we have no men idle or out Of employment.

lion TO penetrate the county thoroughly, and
to arouse the people TO realize the supposed
danger to the Capitol. A public meeting
was called for the 23d Of April, which was
one Of the largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings ever held in this county. On tha,
day three companies we're enlisted, and or
ganized, and the next morning started fol
Harrisburg. At Troy they were met with
orders not to come on, and staid there
week before they could get permission to
move towards Harrisburg. When started
they were met at Sunbury with orders tt
stop-but finally after another days delay
succeeded 10 reaching Camp Curtin. Th,
delays and ycxatiqns to which they wer'
subjected would have discouraged and dis
pirited men less anxious to serve their coun
try. Since then two other companies havt
gone on, without waiting for orders, and tn,
flee companies are now laying in ICaml
