New York, Oct. 90.
The Herald has from its correspondent
a very full account of the late battle on
the Charleston and Savannah r. r., re.
ferred to in the dispatches Of Beauregard.
Our troops proceeded from Hilton Head
on the night of the 2lst, and were con-
veyed In ~ gun boats and war steamers
to Mackay's Point, at the confluence of
the Pocatiligo and Broad Rivers. THE
object of this movement was to make a
4 complete recon noissa noe of Broad River
md it's tributaries, to test practically the
.apidity and safety with which landing
could be effected, and to learn the
strength of the enemy on the main land
guarding the Railroad between Charleston
and Savannah, and to accomplish so much
of the destruction of the Railroad as
could be done in single day. In this
attempt our forces were victorious.
Having met the enemy in large num-
bers they drove them across the Pocotili-
go river; our loss, however. was very Sc
we're. Our soldiers and sailors fought
splendidly, and our batteries were work
ed with great skill and effect.
y he Union forces were under command
of Brig. Gen Bauman, Gen. Ferry being
second in command The rebels we're
commanded by Col. Walter until our ar
rival at Pocotiligo, when Beauregard,
who had just arrived at Charleston, com
handed in person.
Fresh trrops rapidly arriving from
Charleston to reinforce the rebels, our
troops were withdrawn in fine order, Gen.
Ferry remaining on shore at Mackay's
Point until the last man had embarked,
when the buildings which had been oc-
cupied by rebel pickets were destroyed -
Our loss S killed, loo Wounded, mis-
sing.
The troops engaged were the 9TH Penn
sylyania, 9th Conn, 4th N. H., 55th Pa,
18th Conn, 10th Pa, Sd N, H., detach-
ment lst Mass. Cav, section of LIST U. S.
Artillery, X. |. Artillery and n. Y. Vol
unteer Engineers.
Col. Chatfeld of the 9th Conn, and
Lieut.. Col. Spidell, of the same, were
among the severely wounded.

The Military Fnnd.

Mr. EDITOR: desire to call the attention
of the people of Potter county to the Audit
ors Report or statement of the Military Fund
of the county, (Which by their favor have
been allowed TO see). 1t seems to me to be
preposterous to raise, or attempt to raise such
a fund in this county, when we see to what it
is applied. No possible good can result from
it but TO one individual. The salary of the
Brigade Inspector absorbs it all. None of it
does, or can get beyond the county. since
there is not enough of it to pay the expenses
of its asses sment and collection and the salary
of the Brigde Inspector. He alone is benefited.
There must now be due to the Assessors for
1860 and 1861 hard on to Sl50,-qaite an
amount to the County Commissioners and
their Clerk, nearly Sl0o on the Brigade In
spector's salary and some other items not par
ticularly set forth, and who pays this? Most
ly men to whom four shillings would indeed
be glad sight. If it could go to equipping
independent companies and perfecting drill,
all right; but | am sure as stout a soldier as
the Brigadier Inspector does not need this
bounty to stimulate him to heroic deeds. If
it must be continued, | move an amendment
let it be charge on the County Fund and
save more than 500 in the expenses ofassess-
ment and so forth.

To The Charitable.

There is subject ofpainful interest before
US just now, on which few suggestions seem
appropriate. A family of little children are
left fatherless, and the mother not having
means to maintain them, the poorma sters feel
called to the painful duty Of finding separate
that they must be cared for, and where any
one rapts a child and the mother is willing to
entrust it with him, it will be good-a be-
nefcent act for her to give, and the other to
take it. But as matter of charity, would it
not be much better, as we'll as much cheaper,
to pay to her, the mother, a sum sufficient for
the maintenance of the child, and leave it
with her, than to adopt it into another family
and bring it up another way?
There are so many, by insanity, drunken
ness, or other hopeless miseries, incapacitated
for taking care of their families, that there
are constant calls on peoples charity,-but
where the disability of the parent arises only
from poverty, let US see if there be not a
cheaper and far more Christian way of caring
for little children, suppose there are five or
six children-there will be FIVE or six families
to adopt them, bring them up, educate them,
and establish them in life then they are sep
arated and lose the dear family love, which is
better and dearer than any other comfort OF
life The mothers heart is torn and divided,
and thus the best gifts of motherhood and
childhood are lost to them all. But if the five
or six charitable families would each give,
yearly, or monthly to that mother, say one
half of what they would each expend on a
child if they took it home then might there
be happy famiIy-and a good deal of means
and self-sacrifce sared for other and perhaps
more urgent occasions. z.

OSWAhO, jan. II, 1cO-.
EDITOR JOURNAL: 1t is but a few months
since the war-cry first rang out through this
mountain country and hundreds of brave
men from hill and valley responded to the call.
They who were the quiet, peaceable citizens,
have now become the invincible warriors.
Stung by sense of the wrongs inflicted upon
our beloved country they freely and voluntarily
offered themselves as a sacrifice upon her al
tar They loved their kindred, but they love
their country more. They believed they were
about to engage in a holy 1car one more de-
serving that name than any other since the
world began, for it was to put down a rebel
lion the most wicked, more wicked than any
other since that which threatened to dethrone
Almighty God. The knights on the plains
o: Palestine never unsheathed their steel in
so glorious cause. Influenced by such pure
and holy motives, could it be anything short
oil the inspiration of Almighty God that could
call together that mighty host of more than
six hundred thousand men that now consti-
are Pennsylvania's honored sons, one hundred
thousand strong, as true to our Government
as the needle is to the pole.
There too, is our own glorious ';Little Pot
ter" well represented and in the front rank of
her sister counties whose history deserves to
be written in letters Of gold.
Now, Mr.. Editor, shall the brave soldiers
of Potter be forgotten? l trust not. Then
let US Immediately organize a Society to be
called The Potter County Historical Society,
to be located at Couderspost, that we maJ the
better preserve the names and history of that
little Spartan band. Let Potter county take
the lead in doing honor to her soldiers, and
especially to honor the memory of the dead :;
let halo of glory surround the names of
Stiles, Judd, Peet, Kenion, Burdick, McNam-
ara, Crosby, and others; let their names be
preserved with religious care let monuments
be erected to their memory, that their names
and deeds may be transmitted to generations
yet unborn, aud as long rs "Time with her
own eternal lips shall sing" let the praises of
our soldiers be distinctly heard.
Yours with high considerations of respect,
H. H. MUNsoN.
We cordially endorse the proposition of
our friend. We had it in mind to make this
some time since, and are now tru-
ly glad that it has been proposed by one of
Potter's old and respected citizens. Other
counties are making advances in honoring the
braves who leave their homes, AMI in giving
particular honor to those who in the diSpen-
sation of an all-wise Providence are called
TO shed their blood for their country's life.
1t is but little we who stay at home can do.
but what little we can, let ms do cheerfully
and with our hearts in the work, aud assure
those in the field that care Will be taken of
their honor and their names. Let some meet
ing be called for Court Week, of those who
happen to be in town, and let tie work COM
nence.-Er.

Inc undersigned have just seen, with some
surprise, that in the Journal of JAN Sth, the
mr. Patterson who disappeared some time
s'Ace having in his possession a considerable
'lm OF money entrusted to him by soldiers
from this region, to be paid over to their
"!ends, is described as calling himself
Cuiyersalist preacher" We were not aware
mat he had ever even pretended TO be a preach
'r Of that order. He has certainly called him
self Progressionist; but then it may be true
That he has also called himself as stated. A
man who would do what he seems to have
done in tte matter mentioned, must be capa
Die of calling himself almost any thing that
lie IS not. The truth of the case as regards his
ecclesiastical standing, is probably this, that
however it may have been with him at some
''me in his life, he is not now, and for some
years has not been connected with any reli-
koas denomination whatever. lie certainly
