WHOLESALE STANpEDE.-The camp Of the
18th regiment, Newark, was the scene of
breach Of military discipline on Thursday night
The corps had been ordered to proceed to Wash
ington, and many of the men were anxious to
bid adieu to their friends before departure.
They were refused passes, and they not having
the fear of Colonel Carman, the Commander
before their eyes, nor the articles of war, ran
the guard" heller SHELTER, threw their mus
kets to the EARTH and ran though the city
To clap the climax several Of the guard joined
in the stampede and followed their comrades
to the drinking saloons in the vicinity Several
of the soldiers proceeded to their homes in diff
ferent parts Of the State and will no doubt be
found with difficulty. Yesterday hundreds of
the runaways rushed to and fro through every
street in Newark, some Of them wildly intoxi-
Gated, spreading terror among peaceable citi-
zens. A member of Company A, particularly
anxious for battle, soon found sable subject
for the wished-for conflict. He saw a negro
standing quietly in front Of the victualling mar
ket, and he soon chased him through several
streets and was joined in the gallant charge by
a large number Of his fellow-soldiers. The
black man, however, escaped without serious
injury. An order has been issued for the run
aways to return to camp. A flag was present
ed last evening to the regiment. It is not pro-
bable that il will be able to leave to-day.-N

1t IS with good deal OF pleasure and
a full share of humor that we read the
Northern accounts Of Gen. Stewards
dash round Mcclellan into Pennsylva-
mia, brief mention of which has been
made in back number Of the Bulletin.
A special correspondent of the Phila.
delphia Inquirer writes from Cham
bersburg, under date Of the 18th of
October, as follows:
"There has been "high old time"
in the town during the past three days
caused by the sudden appearance of
the rebels, but the excitement has now
somewhat subsded, and business is be.
ginning to assume it's wonted way. On
Friday and Saturday, all trade and
travel was suspended, but today the
heightened countenances Of our people
present more cheerful Appearance
The visit of the rebels was short and
sweet, but they staid quite long enough ;
and all but few of their sympathizers
(and there arc many here) were de-
lighted when they departed. They
came in rags and filth, but went away
like gentemen-that is, if good, new
clothing will entitle y man to be called
gentleman, for the stores and two cal
loads OF new clothing were seized and
distributed among the party, and their
appearance was highly crcditable to
Philadelphia tailors and seamstresscs,
who made up the uniforms for the
boys" in Mcclellan army"
We congratulate our "rebels' upon
the good luck they had in get ing to
wear the "harness" intended for Nc.
Clelan's boys, No doubt they needed
new clothes, and they earned them by
their bravery.
The correspondent then goos on to
recapitulate the "immenso damage"
done by the rebels to the railroad, cars,
and the engines, wood and water
houses belonging to it, and says:
"The warehouses of Messrs. Wander
LEIGH & Neid contained large amount
of ammunition and stores, among the
former seven hundred muskcts, and a
quantity of shells, loose powder, &c. y
When the building blew up, there was
no one near; but those in the other
sections of the town made some of the
talest travelling that has ever been seen
in this section of the country, or any.
where else. Fortunately no one was
injured. These buildings were located
on Second street, near the Falling
Spring Creek, and were lcvelcd with
the ground. Ono of the shells was
blown into Mr.. Frederick Groves sta
BILE, and it was totally consumed.
One car was loaded with rcvolvers,
which the rebels carried off with them.
Two long trains of cars, loaded with
goods consigned to private individuals,
were not disturbed"
Of course the rebels took the revolv-
ers, and we congratulate them on that,
too. Who wouldn't take pistol these
times, But these pistols ,oent off before
the Yankees expected. As TO the goods

plundered in Tennessee for good

The New. Albany Ledger comes to us
clothed in mourning for the death of Mr..
James NJ. Morrison, one of the proprietors
of that paper. He died at his residence in
New Albany, on Tuesday last, at eleven
o'clock, of typhoid fever. The Ledger pays
an eloquent tribate to the memory of the
deceased, closing in the following words:
Our acquaintance with the deceased be-
gan nearly fifteen years ago, but it was not
till we became associated with him in the
daily and hourly walks of business that we
learned to fully appreciate the estimable
qualities of Mr.. Morrison. That association
has now lasted six years, and we do not
believe any instrumentality less imperative
than the hand of Death could have severed
it. During all this time, and in every
transaction, however minute, we have
found him honest, straightforward and
scrupulous to a most extraordinary degree.
This scrupulousness, indeed, with all with
whom he came in business contact, was one
of his most distinguishing characteristics.
But it was as husband and father that
Mr.. Morrisons noble qualities shoRe forth
most brilliantly. Entertaining the most
tender regard for his wife and children, he
was, in turn, almost idolized by them, and
surely never was conjugaI and flial love be-
slowed on one more worthy of receiving it,
Kind, gentle, indulgent spending all his
leisure hours at his own Preside and in the
bosom of his own family, it can not be won
dered that that affection which he bestowed
with such a lavish hand should be given
back by the loved ones with increased in
tensity. Their loss can never be repaid on
earth
Our friend, our partner, our associate and
companion in the daily walks of life has
gone, We shall miss his familiar face and
his wise counsels as we come to our daily
toll. But length of years and change of
scenes can never efface from memory the
sterling qualities of that man whom we had
learned to love rather as a brother than a
partner, and who has this day passed from
among Us and solved the great problem of
Death and Eternity.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 24.-The Old Point boat
has arrived, but brings no news of import
ance. There had been no arrival from the
Burnside expedition.
The Norfolk Day Book of yesterday dis
credits the accounts of the Burnside expe-
dition icing in Pamlico Sound, and says
that a reconnaissance from Roanoke Island
on Monday last brings no such report. This
appears to be the latest advices they have.
Since then storm has cut off all commu-
nication with the coast. -
The Day Book publishes the Federal ac-
count of the death of Gen. Zollicoffer, and
says it does not believe word of it, and
says it is " Wall street lie, got up to raise
the spirits of the Yankees, after their defeat
at Ironton by JEFF. Thompson
The Richmond Dispatch has the follow
ing in regard to the Federal accounts of the
fight at Somerset: 'sWe publish batch of
the Federal dispatches, and do not believe
there is word of truth in them. The
fact is, as the reader will perceive, on read
ing the money article of the New York
Evening Post, that stocks were going down
at such rapid rate, owing to the failure of
the Burnside expedition, and the licking
the Federals recently got at the hands of
JEFF. Thompson, that it was necessary to
0bChAA Gp III SOluC way u Keep the
rebellion at home, so they resorted to these
dispatches-their regular plan of operations
on the stock market, and of keeping up
their spirits. We suspect that Gen. Zolli-
Golfer has given them aIicking, as he com
menced the attack according to their own
account, as contained ID one of their own
dispatches, and it is not likely SO prudent a
commander as Zollicoffer would have open
ed the ball on them and then suffered them
to defeat him so easily. The whole yarn
is tfshy and smells strongly of Wall street
stock operations"
The Charlotte N. C. Democrat of the 2Ist
instant says, in anticipation of invasion of
the North Carolina coast it is contemplated
to call out the militia of the several east
ern counties. The call is not yet made, but
the Raleigh Journal says it will embrace
thirty-three counties.
P. s. We learn that the militia have
been ordered out since the arrival of the
Burnside expedition at Hatteras, and it APP
pears from the Raleigh Register of Satur-
day, that draft has been made in Wake
county.
The Raleigh Register says there is quite
an excitement in that city in regard to
draft which has been made for one-third of
the enrolled militia. Substitutes will be in
demand.
