FoRT LINCOLN, Sept sh. 1862.
Ma. EDITOR Dear Sir. Thinking a few
words rom The one hundred and thirty sixth
may be OF interest 10 sour numerous pro-
pose penning them The squad of men re-
cruitsd in Columbia County arrived in Har.
risburg, just in the nick of time 10 he ac-
copied Tor months. Not being allowed
The privileges OF recruiting it up 10 the quo
Ia for Company we were obliged Ell her to
abandon or consolidate with one OF tie two
last com panles OF the last regimen. o nine
months men We consoliddted with COM
pany from Crawford county, Lieut. being
allowed for our squad. Immediately after
forming orr boys received their uniforms
and marching orders which caused an en-
lhusiasiic manifestation as the boys were
about 6 O'Clock P. NJ. for Baltimore where
we arrived al o'clock A. NJ. We marched
through the city Immediately and found re-
freshmenis prepared by the soldiers relief
society, which The boys done justice too as
l seen quite number filing their canieeus
hot coffee and their Haversacks with
with some OF the subslantial-in the shape
OF Beef Cheese and Crackers.
We left Baltimore at o'clock A. II. and
arrived in Washington at 10 O'Clock p NJ.
We Immediately proceeded TO Fort Lincoln
distance OF 3 miles from Washington on
the east branch of the Potomac. Our boys
Immediately formed Foraging party and
in less than one hour Corn, Apples, Peach
es and sweet Potatoes, were distributed in
camp, in muti.udious quantities.
This country is very unduating and af-
fords a number of very fine prospects, Forts
greet the eye on every h:lL. 1t might be
called the Land of Forts.
Our boJs seem tc be nioying themselves
in soldiers fashion they are anSions to gel
shot at the Rebels; Secessionists are plen-
iy here, and think in one sense The boys
are glad OF it--as they are allowed to draft
from them. Our company stand watch in
the rife pits every night. They have made
several parties OF Rebels skedaddls, who
were venlnIing around our Pickets 10 test
our strength. Our boys are all The trlie blue.
Yours truly,

Under this modest, unpreiending cap
tion, we ventnred TO express our opinion
some days ago as TO the merits OF certain
Generals holding important commands in
tie grand army of the Union. This opinion
oil ours, though accompanied by no harsh
Ttimarks crilicising military bIunders, or de-
nlands for Government Interference, seems
ID have exercised TO most extraordinary
degree the little minds of some of our small
citizens occupying various public positions
ill tho United States and Municipal Govern
rlents. To edifv these greater humbugs
than Gen. Pope himself, the honest and pa
t-iolic Hessian Post Master of this city has
repubIished our harmless I;ltle article in
Two editions of the Telegraph, thus spread.
iag broadcas, as it were, what these pre-
<iors hypocriies, paid patriots, and ignor-
ant officials are pleased 10 consider the
Eeeds OF iucipient treason. Heaven deliver
ils and all other true men from the judge
lnenl Of such vile pimps. such bigoied par
iizans such stupid jackadapes as these men
in whose hands. and he hands of such as
these elsewhere, The Secretary of War has
s.omnisted the personal freedom OF citizens
by making Them Judges Of what constitutes
reason and rninor offences, with power to
lsize and imprison, without hearing. God
help Us indeed, when the military power
assumes such az attitude as this in loyal

Say JusT WHAT You PLEAsE.-To Demo-
Gratis we would y,say just what on please
low yourselves to be knuckled down rather
go to prison than surrender one inch of
your independence. Obey the laws that
are Constitutional, but refuse to obey one
iola beyond the provisions of ehe Consliiu~
ton. If you do, yon yourselves become
insurgents. So adopt and practice the good
old ways think what you will or can and
say just what you please ,defying The tyran-
ny that now sweeps over The land. And
always bear in mind that Lincoln and his
Cabinet are the greatest Rebels in the land
not one whit better than JEFF. Davis and his
dsyotees.--Sel;nsgrovs Times.

A MAN who in short measure is
measureless rogue. If in whiskey he is
rogue in spirit. If he gives a bad title to
land, then be is a rogue indeed. If he
gives short measure in wheat, then he is
rogue in grain. And if he cheats when
he can, he is indeed, in spirit, in garin a
measureless rogue.

family was very poor, and seemed reduced
TO the last extremity of suffering and sor-
row. What little of theirs had remained.

The wheat fields by the road are looking
fresh and green, but unless the war should
close | fear that when the grain becomes
ripe there will be few reapers to gather it.
There are few men through the country,

known to have done, Not long since |
spent the night at fne residence at which
only two small boys appeared to be at home.
Their report might have led some to 60 on

There had been sickRess in the family;
three had died, and the physician had ad-
yised the remainder of the family to avoid

There is general fear Of our army by

Cotton and its Worshipsrs.

The Richmond Congress is puzzled what
to do about cotton Mr.. Brown, of Missis.
sippi, proposes to make it a criminal of.
fence for planter to grow more than three
bales for bis family and one bale for each
of his field hands. He thought that with
out some strict prohibitions, "a large class
of grasping Shylocks" (southern planters
and gentlemen called Shylocks y would
certainly go on planting cotton in hope to
make great profit by selling it.
1t Is curious comment on the loud pre-
LESSONS in favor of free trade and State
rights, that AIr. Browns RESOLUTION, levy
ing tax of forty dollars per bale on all
cotton grown beyond certain amount-a
faSrant interference with the course Of
trade, and, as Mr.. Hunter remarked, an
unconstitutional interference with the
States-received in the confederate Senate
nine votes out of twenty; counting the NOV
er, wis did not vote
Mr.. Semmes, of Louisiana, said in the
course of debate, that he Lad long since
abandoned the idea that COTTON is King
We have tested the powers Of king cotton
and found him wanting" Mr. Barnwcll,
OF South Carolina, seemed of similar
opinion. He said: awe must have mon
opoly of the market We begin to find
out that we have not monopoly that cot
ton can be produced elsewhere"
The planters are evidently awakening to
the fact that they, are not yet masters Of
the civilized world.
