CAMP WooD, Feb. IS, 1862.
Mr.. JoHN PoULsoN-Dcar Sir: After delay.
ing and neglecting for so long time have
concluded to write you few lines. must
ask your pardon for not writing sooner, and
promise to do better in future. There is much
dissatisfaction now existing among the troops
Of the 6ith and Goth, in regard to the way we
have been treated We came into Kentucky
on the Goth Of December, and remained at
Camp Buel until the 9th, when we were star
ted for Baldstown, and reached there on the
30th and camped about six miles Southeast
of that place in Camp Morton. 1t was fine
camp ground. but the daily rains during our
stay rendered it very disagreeable. On the
9TH of January we were presented with Il nice
flag, and it made my heart throb with Joy to
behold the glorious emblem of all that is good
Purity, Fidelity and Devotion. The flag
for which our forefathers fought, bled and
died and transmitted unspotted and unstained
to us. When that flag is assailed by a rebel
lious foe our men of the 6jth are ready to sh ed
their last drop of blood in its defence. We
left Camp Morton on the 18th of Janu airy and
arrived at Lebanon on the 18TH Our march
was hard, through rain, snow and mud. We
encamped about a mile from town, in an aw-
ful muddy plase; the most SO Of any we have
yet had. We left there on the 2Ist, reached
Danviile on the gid, much of the way through
mud shoe'mouth deepi lef. on the 28rd. and
arrived at Halls Gap on the Gath. where we
remained until the 7th OF February. We were
set to making roads, which were in,passibIe
without repairs, and had they not been fixed
our gallent men at Somerset, who fought so
brayely and won the greatest victory of the
war, ould have suffered for want OF provis
ionsi all of which had to be trans ported with
teams from Lebanon, distance of ~ miles.
On the 7th inst we left IIall's Gap and reach
ed Lebanon on the 10th, where we remained
80 hours, and then embarked on board stock
train, at O'Clock P, NJ, for Green river and
reached our destination at O'Clock the fol-
lowing morning. Our tents had not arrived
and consequently We were compelled to sleep

FOR the Farmer.
The Horrors of War.
What pen can describe the horrors of war;
When we think Of The many who are slain in
one battle it is horrible; but when battles
are fought almost daily what an immense num-
Der are lost. How many fathers highest hopes
are disappointed by the present bloody war?
How many mothers daily send up prayers for
dear sonsi How many sisters and seetheats
with impatience await the arrival of the mail,
hoping to her from some absent borther or
loyeri Yes, VIC are in the midst of war; OF
civil war; where father is fighting against son
and brother against brother. Our condition
is, indeed, deplorable. But short time ago
our country was united, prosperous and hap
py; but it is now divided and war and desola-
tion pervade the land. In our prosperity, in
reading Of the great civil wars of Rome we
little thought that we would initiate their bad
example, " here friend warred against friend
and often when the armor was stripped from
the slain the lifeess form of brother was ex-
posed. Civil war is always terrible but the
best OF governments have not been able to
escape it.

A Man Killed.

ANDREW SHoNDLE, laborer on the railroad,
was killed between Clinton and New Portage by
the up train on Monday morning. The particu
lars attending his death are not certainly known,
as no one saw him killed. lie was watching the
track and the probabilities are that while walk
ing on it in the terrible storm Of that morning he
did not hear the approaching train. lie was
about "a years of age. His parents lived in
the vicinity.

Correction.

NUTTVCCIOH.
1t is not true. as rcpo ted, that a man in this
place was so founderedb by eating one dozen of
AMEs' Corn Fed Oysters that his toe nails came
off. 1t is true that they are the largest and finest
Oysters ever brought to this market, but man
with ordinary capacity of stomach, and digestive
organs to match can worry down dozen of
them. Every person buys AMEs' Corn Fed.
They are the very best,
So Oyster eaters say,
And since they have tried them
All others are cast away.
They are always to be had mt CoRBus' by the can

Increase OfTaNatiOu.

With the reduction in expenses, transfers, &C.,
made by our iudicious County Commissioners the
increase of direct taxation in this county cannot
be much the apr reaching year. Our greatest
increase price of tea, coffee, sugar. drugs, &c
There is no present probability of the people of
this county seriously feeling the increase levy
made upon them the coming year. The greatest
item is the soldiers relief fund. Surely no one
will pay this grudgingly.

Spring Elections.

Spring Elections.
The time is approaching for the spring cleo
tions. The Democracy Of every township in the
county should make timely preparation 10y nom.
mating for the several Offices good men and good
Democrats. None of the men who opposed the
Democratic ticket last fall should be placed in
nomination for any position Before they should
receive Office from the hands Of the Democracy
they should establish character as Democrats
by acting with the Democratic party and voting
the Democratic ticket. OF course, no one will
object to those who strayed away coming back to
the Democratic fold. On the contrary all Dem
'ocrats will be glad to see them return to their
-'irst love ;"but they should serve as privates
until they have shown themselves worthy of pro-
motion. The Democratic party, unlike others,
never offered Offices to men as an inducement to
join the party we trust it never will do so-
We are moi Of those who ask heightened pro-
baton from good men who join the Democratic
part out Of pure motives. At the same time,
we must confess that probation seems necessa-
ry for those who have been Office hunters left
the party because of disappointment and return
and Immediately ask Office again. We think all
such should act with the party reasonable length
of time before they occupy the uppermOst seats in
the synagogue.

From the National Intelligencer.
The Dome of the Canifnl.

The magnificent dome of the capitol de-
signed by Thomas U. Walter, and now in
course of construction under his direction, is
rapidly progressing to completion. The prin-
clpal frame OF the structure has been COM
pleted, the ribs of the cupola have been put
in place, and the plates, which constitute the
outer covering, are being set, and will be
finished before the close of next month At
ter this shall have been done, nothing will be
left to complete the exterior of the dome
but the construction of the lantern and the
placing OF the ornaments on the upper win
dows and around the spring of the cupola
These ornaments are now being cast, and one
OF them representing honey-suckle, has
been placed in position, and presents very
handsome appearance. The castings for the
inner dome are in course of preparation, and
will soon be ready. The present height of
the iron work above the basement floor of the
capitol is two hundred and fifteen feet, and
the height of the portion yet to be construct
ed, including the browning statue, is about
seventy feet. About two hundred and seven
thousand pounds of iron have been re-
ceived during the past year, and in the
same period about one million one hun
dred and eighty-fve thousand pounds of
the same material have been put up The
whole quantity of iron received from the be-
ginning of the work up to the present time
was about seven and half millions of pounds,
and, according to the estimates of the archi-
tect, about eight hundred thousand pounds
more will be needed to complete the work
The dome will be crowned with Crawford's
gigantic and imposing statue of Freedom,
which is nineteen and half feet high, and
weighs about fifteen thousand pounds. This
statue is made entirely of bronze, and is com
posed of five sections, the weight of the heav-
lest of which is about five thousand pounds
1t may now be seen on temporary pedestal
in the east grounds of the capitol The screw
bolts which now blemish it will be removed
when it is put in place, and rich and uni
form bronze tint will be impaired to it. The
entire cost of the statue was about $25, 900.
The sum of 100000 han been appropriated
by congress for the dome the most of which
has been expended. The original estimate of
the cost of the dome was $945, 900; but the
distinguished architect, by rigid economy and
reduction of the weight of the structure,
has been enabled to bring down the whole
cost, including that of the browning statue, to
about 100000.

A STORY FOR THE SUPERsTITIoUs.-A few
weeks ago, in flourishing town of India,
parsonage of considerable local importance
had some property stolen from him; and he
proceeded accordingly to discover the thief by
the ordeal of the saucer. He took brass
saucer, pronounced over it words Of potent
magic, and weird sentences from the Koran,
brought it to the door of his house, and then,
in the presence of an excited multitude, gave
it push, and set it rolling. 1t staggered
little at first, as if undecided in its proceed
ings, but soon took its course towards and
down the main street of the town. On it
rolled, upheld by divine power, untouched by
human hands, and never faltered till il turned
at a sharp angle down lane, and stopped OPP
poste closed door. Still it did not fall but
remained poised on edge, while the attending
crowd shouted TO the inmates to undo the
bolt. The owner himself came down, and
no sooner had he opened the door than the
saucer leaped up and fixed itself on his head.
He fell on his knees contested the crime,
and was brought up before the magistrates.
The most curious part of the story is to come.
He was not guilty; the stolen property was
recovered in another mans house, and the
real thief was discovered. The first culprit
declared that his confession was made under
the influence OF religious excitement and SUI
perstitious fear of the magic, and by degrees
the truth came ont that the saucer had been

St. Anthony the Reformer.

BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLoW.
No fear lest praise should make us proud!
We know how cheaply that is won;
The idle homage of the crowd
Is proof of tasks as idly done.
A surface smile may pay the toll
That follows still the conuuerinp right.
With soft, white hands to dress the spoil
That sun-browned valor clutched in fight.
Sing the sweet song of other DAYS.
Serenely placed, safely true,
And DER the presents parching WAYS
The verse distills like evening dew
But speak in words of living power
They fail like drops of scalding rain
That flashed before the coming shower,
Swept DER the cities of the plain!
Then scowling Hate turns deadly PALE
Then PASSIONS half coiled adders spring,
Aud, smitten through their leprOus mail,
Strike right and left in hope to sting
If thou, unmoved by poisoning wrath,
Thy feet oil earth thy heart above,
Canst walk in peace, thy kingly path,
Unchanged in trust, unchilled in love-
Too kind for bitter words to grieye,
Too firm for clamOr to dismay,
When Faith forbids thee to believe,
And Weakness calls to disobey,-
All, then beware of mortal pride!
The smiling praise that calmly scorns
Those foolish fingers, crimson dyed
In laboring ON thy crown of fhorns!
