GO "a zap Curtin.
The company which left this place on
Wednesday Of last week, in response TO
the Presidents call for "more troops"
was model one in every respect. The
men composing it were portion Of the
very bone and sinew Of the county,-men
of brave hearts and steady hands, honest,
industrious, moral, uprig ht,-who, at du-
tvs call, sternly put aside the blandish-
ments Of home for season to brave the
periis and privations Of the camp and bat
tle-fe!d. Not as mere adventures have
these noble patriots gone forth-a higher,
holer ain is theirs. The go in behalf Of
an outraged Flag and Nationality-to
meet and help crush into the earth, so
deeply that it may never again rear its
hydra head: this accursed iend of Rebel
lion that is now desolatingsthe fair fields
of the Union, carrying sortoH and mourn
Ing into so many hearts and homes. They
20 to rescue the fair fabric Of cur liberties,
bought by the blood of our forefathers,
from destruction, and punish the Traitors
who seek its downfall. May God speed
their efforts
The editor Of this paper accompanied
the company to Camp Curtin. The route
thither seemed a perfect ovation. At al
most every station the boys were greeted
with hearty cheers from the males, while
bright-eyed and rosy chssked maidens
We'd with each other in doing them honor.
Arriving at Harrisburg, the company was
met By Lieut. j. c. Noon, to whose exer-
tons the members are indebted for many
fayors.
After late dinner, the company mar
ched to Camp Curtin, where suitable
location was assigned them. The boys
Immediately proceeded to make themselves
perfectly at home, and it was astonishing
to see how ezcellently they succeeded
From this happy faculty of adapting them
selves to any circumstances, we have no
doubt that, in few weeks, they will have
all become tiP-top soldiers.
Capt. Jones and Lieuts. Scott and Elan
agan were always with the men, attending
to their necessities and wants. Although
neither of these gentlemen ever "set
squadron in the tented field" yet We pre-
diet. they will make efficient officers
They are courteous, honorable and brave,
and possess the affections and confidence
of their men in an eminent degree.
The non commissioned oficers-the list
of which we print elsewherc-are also
whole-souled, reliable fellows, who will do
their duty to man.
We took particular pains while in camp
to acquaint ourse!f with the general ap
pearance Of companies from other sections,
and, after careful examination, are con-
strained to say that, in appearance, intel
ligence and soldierly bearing, our Ebens-
burg company will compare favorably
with any of them Indeed, the good ap-
pearance of al the Cambria county CON-
panies was a subject of general remark.
That they will give good account of
themselves at the proper time has been
red duced to a certainty in our mind.
May God watch over them all, and
bless their efforts y
We had the pleasure Of taking Capt
Of one Of the Johnstown eomPa-
MES, by the hand during our stay in camp.
Il e is one of natures own noblemen, and |
will be friend indeed to our Cambria
boys, We congratulate him upon his
promotion to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of !!
the reginent-the l33d Penna.-in which |
the three Cambria companies are.
