c1-We publisb with much pleasure the fol-

Co-We publish with much pleasure the fol-
lowing communication, from highly esteem
ed friend in Loretto, although we cannot help
thinking, that the whole affair is much % ado
about nothing" When We first perused the
communication of '' Anxious" we concluded
to reject il on the ground that it was fat
and uninteres;ing, and because Its author had
not furnished US with his real name but as
it was very brief, we concluded, after consul!
ting with the publisher, 20 give it place in
our columns OF course, if we had known
it was intended to be personal, or contained
insinuations calculated TO wound the feelings
of any one, we would not have published it; /;
and now that it is before US in print, we must
say that we regard it as a nice milk and water
document, too weak to offend any one-but
it may contain insiuations which we do not
understand, and are therefore sorry that we
published it. We hope that neither of our
correspondents will allow any unkind feel
ings to grow out of this foolish affair. Re
member that g Soft words turn away wrath,
while grievous words, stir up anger"
Speak gently; It IS better far,
To rule by love than fear;
Speak gently-let 10 harsh words mar,
The good we may do here.
Speak gently; He who gave his life,
To bend mans stubborn viii.
When elements were fierce with strife.
Said TO them peace, be still"
How much Of happiness, it is often in our power
to convey to others, by a kind word. or even
gentle suile. and how much of misery is often
caused, thro' the medium of a harsh word, or
scornful sneer. Let US do all the good We can
in this world-Let US endeayor to love and
esteem, at least let US not hate and malIgn
each other When the grave has closed over
those who were the objects of our hatred In
life, how loa;hsome, how vile appear to Us
The emotions we cherished towards them
during their earthly pilgrimage. As Wash
iugtOn Irwin says who can look upon the
grave even of an enemy, and not feel COM
punctiOus throb that he should ever have
warred with the poor handful of earth that
lies mouldering before HIM p Excuse Us for
this preface, but we think 1t contains a few
truths the perusal of which will not prove
entirely proftless to our readers. We may
remark before closing, that we have 10 idea
who 'Anicus-' Is, as he did lot send Us his
name.

CAMP WEIcHr. July 18th. 1861

Friend Murray: This being Sunday
have not much to do, therefore I will try al
give you few items concerning Cwhat is be
coming rather stale) Camp Wright.
To-day Is rather warm, and looks as il rs
might have a shower, for which reason every
one keeps pretty close to quarters the eonse-
quenee of which Is, any amount of noise and
confusion.
The arms for our regiment are now at Hull
ton Station, and Will be distributed in a few
days The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps has
been called into the L. S. service. and viii
likely receive marching orders in a few days.
1t is very probable that in ten days we viii
not be in Camp Wright We shall be very
glad to get off. Camp Wright is beginning
to seem 100 much like being at home.
By order of Col. Gallagher, we will here
after have to drill five hours a day, viz Com
pany drill by Captains, from s till 9 O'Clock,
\. NJ. regimental Cor, as we call it, raga-
muffin dril) from 10 till u o'clock, NJ; af-
ternoon Company drill. from till o'clock ;
dress parade at 68 o'clock
Capt. Litzinger returned last week, having
been in Cambria on recruiting tour. He
got FOUR recruits. 1t really astonished me
that among all the young men in and about
Ebensburg, Carrolltown and Loretto, there
could only be found four, willing to enter the
list of contest in defence of thei- country. But
they have yet another ehance-Lieut. Mccoy
will be in Cambria the latter part of this week,
for the purpose of getting more recruits.
/ tell the truth, have not much to write
about, there is nothing going on but the daily
routine of eating, drilling, sleeping and writ
ing. But hope the day is not far distan
when the Cambria Guards will have libert,
to write home about, that is, they will soor
begin 20 participate in, putting down Treason
and rebellion.
Hoping that in my next l viii have some
thing of Importance to communicate, remain
yours. More anon, ROMEO.
