Our camp is now within range Of the fire

General Brannans troops TO the number

reinforced before operations can be resumed.
The rebels are constantly receiving addi-

cyergreens and flowers The Star Spanglcd
Banner was displayed in all its glory, an
address was made, and beautiful young
lady, Miss Wilson, was elected and enthronod
Queen of the Hour.
The fair ladies of Portsmouth, and they
are legion, got the atfair.up themselves, and
they are entitled to credit for their pcrse-
yerance and energy in ondeayoring to assist
in restoring the Union to lis former glory
While there be many women in Portsmoth

~ SHOULD WOMEN NoTE.-This sub
jtct has engaged the attention of our Snyder
county friends. The Franklin Lyccum re-
Gently held public discussion in the Court
House, at Middlcburg, on the question,
Should the elective franchise be extended
10 the female sex, or should woman be al
lowed to vote and hold Office The meeting
was presided over by J. IL. Louis, President
OF the Society, assisted by Misses IL. B.
Swipeford and NJ. l.. Shindcl ThOs. Bower
snd DR.. j. Hasscnplug acting as Umpircs,
who, after hearing the argument on both
sides, decided the question in the negative.
Our own opinion in regard to extending
the elective franchise to women has been
somewhat modified the past year. Where
men become so degenerate aS to forget their
patriotism, in order TO serve few petty
politicians in their greed for Office, it would
be we'll enough for women to supcrscdC their
rocrcant husbands in the exercise of privi-
lcge which they so little know how to ap-
rrcciatc. Wherever the hcrcsics Of Brcckin-
ridge prevail, there the women should he
permitted to hold the rcins. Snyder county,
also Columbia county and some sections of
this county, might he benefited 10y such a
change. But such a privilege would seal
the fate of the Breckinridgc organs in these
counties, as but few of our women sympa

who profess to be Democrats in order tC
deceive the people, while their acts show

sl37 The reports OF the battle before
Richmond have caused many painful appre-
tensions on the part Of parents and Others
having sons and relatives in the army. The
papers state that the nth Infantry of Rcgu-
lars was badly cut up, and most of the Off
ccrs killed and wounded. Lieutenant Israel
Peasants, son of Charles Pcasants, Esq, Of
this place, belongs to this regiment. The
uncertainty of his fate naturally causes great
anxiety among his family and friends.

w" TIE recent great battle before Rich
mond, some Of the details of which will be
found in our columns, is one of the greatest
in importance and extent Of modern times.
General McClcllan's army, has, no doubt,
suffered severely in this terrible conflict.
But from what we can understand, our army
has, by this last movement, secured an i'm
portant position in its operations against
Richmond. In changing from the marshy
ground of the Chickahominy to the banks
Of the James River, General Mcclellan has
also secured the cooperation of the gun
boats. The rebels, no doubt, saw that per
haps their last and only chance was, to pre-
vent this movement, and made Il most dcs-
perate effort to outilank or get in the rear of
our army. But little of the details OF the
battle are known, but enough has been clici-
ted to satisfy us that thousands of addition
al mourners will have to be added to the
already long list, for relatives and friends
who have fallen on these cvcntful days before
Richmond.
