if this should meet with your approbation.
There are few regiments in the field that can
boast of many officers who have seen ser
vice and been successful adventuIers. Their
lives have been spent in enduring toll of
every description, and are Injured to hardships;
consequently they are better prepared to stand
the exposures of camp life than the kid fingered
gentry who found in such abundance in
the army. A few days since, the regiment
being on outpost duty, company was order
ed on scouting expedition under the com
mand of Lieut.. Jas. ). Hall. They proceed
ed to Springfield station on the Manassas Gap
r. Road, where they were divided into three
detachments-one OF which commanded by
Serg't VIM. McKiernan, drove in the enemy's
pickets at the burnt bridge, short distance
from the enemy's encampmentS. The other
parties advanced toward Pohict church, but
found nothing save some wheat and tobacco,
to the latter Of which they helped themselves
very freely. The boys displayed great cool
ness and manifested desire to have brush
with sssecesh,'' but had to retarn 10 camp
without fight. Please send me Journal.

RETIRE REMENT OF GENERAL CAMERON The

RETIREMENT OF GENERAL CAMERON. The
Doylestown PAD Democrat says
'sAlthough not political supporter of
General Cameron, late Secretary of War; we
cannot letraiu from saying a word on his
retil ement from that folio. We bear testi-
mony that he has made an able and faithful
officer, and, while in that department, was un-
ceasing in his labors in Behalf ofthe great cause
of the Union. Upon coming into Office he
found demoralzed army, a mere handful in
number, and on leaving it he presents to the
Republic a host of over six hundred thousand
men armed, equipped and in the field. Such
armies were never before organized in the
same length of time. The task was an hercu-
lean one, and whatever of credit there NAV be
to give, belongs. ira great measure, to Gen.
Cameron. An unjust clamor has been raised
against him, and he is charged with permitting
the Government to be deirauded in the matter
of furnishing supplies. That agents of the
department, in some Instances, have defraud-
ed the Government and been unfaithful TO
their trust, we have no doubt; but we believe
the late Secretary OF War to be entirely free
from any connection with winch peculation.
Instead of blame, Gen. G. should receive the
thanks of every patriot fer the faithful and
vigorous manner in which he has managed the
most important department OF the Government
during the trying period the country passed
through since he received his appointment.
In the new and honorable position to which
he has been assigned ty the President he will
discharge his duties with equal fidelity"

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JoURNAL, ),
CAMP JAMESON, Jan. %. 1862.

OAhP JAMESON, u an. q. 1907.
Mr.. 5. }. Row dear Sir: We hear of ad-
vances made, battles fought, and victories
won by our armies in different sections, whilst
we must content ourselves witt. reading the
accounts of their valorous deeds-yet, we
hope ere long, to be relieved from regular
camp duties and drills, By being ordered into
more active service.
We are still in our old quarters. Camp
jameson is two (not II miles, as published In
my as) from Alexandria. Our regiment re-
turned this evening from sspicket'' duty
having been sent out on Monday. They are
all lively and cheerful, notwithstanding the
weather has been unpleasant. They captured
two rebels and one team of mules. They also
raised boat which had been sunk In Occouuan
creek by Secesh, and brought it up into
Accotank. 1t had been used in crossing the
stream. They also cut up several skiffs that
belonged to the same man. The s.boys"
have been offered S400 for the boat.
Prisoners are taken by our pickets, almost
daily, whilst others come in and give them
selves up-yet there is no large rebel force
near us. There is one company of cavalry in
the neighborhood OF E'Pohick church, - com
posed OF farmers and earned to the teeth'
They acquainted with all the by-roads.
paths and hiding places, and if they were not
cowardly they might annoy US very much
but being towards they only occasionally
pounce upon our pickets, when least expected,
anu III inoHeHt tney are OH again at q full
gallop into the woods. To give you an idea
of this sebaGditti," will relate one occurrence
short time since, thirty men of the New
Jersey cavalry were ascending the hill at
''Pohick.' 1t is dug road, with embark
ment, about feet high on each side.
Whilst the cavalry We're in the cut, the s:ban-
dIttS' suddenly approached within six or
eight feet of them, fired and then made good
their escape-yet only one of their balls took
effect, and that in the feshy part of the leg.
The weather has been quite warm during
the last week, with any quantity of rain. The
soil is clay mixture, and consequently the
mud is deep. The only way to be certain of
dry feet is to have high boot specially,
if you wish to go out of the camp. Our men
are becoming tired of inactivity, and would
be better satisfied if there was an advance
made-which may propably be done as as
the roads will permit. 1t is said that we are
under marching orders, bnt in what direction
l do not know. Yours, &C., A. Nm.

BnoxI.-The war department has despatch
es from flag officer Mexican, dated Ship Island,
Jan. 8. in which he says, he had received in
formation that rebel steamer was at anchor
at Biloxi, Mississippi. he dispatched two
steamers to capture the rebel, but it had made
its escape. A demand was then made for the
surrender of the town, which was complied
with. On landing small sand battery was
destroyed, and two guns brought off. A
schooner, loaded with lumber, was also cap
tured.

Louis, last week seized some property belong
ing to several secessionists, to pay a tax which
had been assessed by order OF Gen. Halleck,
and which they refused to pay. The Secesh
gentlemen issued a writ of replevin on the
Provost Marshall, whereupon they were arrest
ed and imprisoned. Subsequently, Gen. Hal
leck ordered them to be taken beyond the
bounds of his department, and forbid their
return. The Provost Marthal is to arrest all
persons who hereafter attempt to interfere, or

er who came into the Federal lines on the eve-
ming of the 26th, contradicts the report that
the rebels have fallen back from Manassas.
He says about ten regiments have gone South,
but that the main body of the rebel army has
not changed its position. They have nearly
abandoned the idea that General Mcclellan in
line OF defense extends upwards of sixty miles.
They expect the most sanguinary battle to
take place at Centreville, for they have that
place almost impregnably fortified. He says
that it was reported for several days that Nc
Clellan was dead, and there was great rejoicing
meeting him in battle.

The TARIFF.-The business community are
considerably alarmed at the idea that Con-
gress is to make great and serious change
in the present tariff. From present appear
ances the Committee.of Ways and Means will
make but avery slight change, no more than
to rectify some mistakes in the present bill.
The bill has been in operation so short a time
that its results cannot be correctly nor Justly
calculated upon. There is high authority for
the expression Of this opinion.

MExIco.-It would appear that the Spanish
troops that landed at Vera Cruz, several week s
since, are pretty we'll hemmed in by the Mexi-
cans-and that reaction has taken place "a
mong the Mexican people, who are genera lily
coming up to the support of the government.
The Spanish troops had taken possession of
Vera Cruz under the pretence of holding if as
guarantee for the payment of certain claims !;
and the present action of the people is looked
upon as sign that conflict is imminent be-
tween the two nations.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-On New YEARS. day,
during the prevalence of a high wind. about
ten feet of the top of lightning rod attached
TO the house of Valentine Sergeant, West
Bethlehem, Washington county, was broken
from its fastenings, and falling, with the point
foremost, struck little son of Mr.. Sargeant's,
who was passing along just at that moment.
The point struck him upon the top of the left

and first rib emerged near the left breast, and,
continuing its course, pierced the clothing, the
left hand-which happened to be in range
and the left thigh to the bone. While thus
pinioned down in a half erect position his
mother came to his relief, and succeeded only
by the utmost exertions in removing the rod.
