At a meeting of the staff and Line Officers
of the l35th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, the following Preamble and Resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, We have learned with sorrow and
regret the sudden demise of our esteemed and
much respected brother soldier and officer, Lieut..
Josiah Baughman. of company ID, it having
pleased the Almighty to remove him from our
midst while yet in the prime of life, and. it is
hoped, on the eve Of brief but useful military
to all, by his many kind and social qualities as
an officer and a man, it behooves us as fellow
soldiers and companions in arms, to pay an ap.
propriate tribute of respect to departed worth.
Therefore, Be II Resolred, That we deeply
deplore the early loss of SO useful and valuable
an officer, in whom were to be found combined
so many good and ennobling qualities, and who
as christian was sincerely pious and upright
a firm and steadfast believer and follow CT Of the
faith of his church.
Resohed, That while we thus bear tribute
to his many virtues, VIC cannot fail to place our
seal of condemnation upon the bastard hand
that in one fell moment, severed the life chord
of one who but discharged just and proper
duty.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
the bereaved family of the deceased and sim
cerely trust that a just and benign Providence
may vouchsafe to the widowed mother and
fatherless children, the consolation of the Cos
pei in this their present affection.
loesohed, That as further manifestation of
our respect and esteem for the men and the of
ficers, copy of these proceedings together with
the preamble resolutions, be forwarded to the
family of the deceased
Resolyed, That copy Of the same be also for.
warded to the Bedford county papers for pub

bout 4 o'clock, by the stabbing Of soldier by
negro. Itappears that a soldier had been in
one Of the negro huts in that vicinity, looking
after some clothes which he ia given out to
be washed, and as he was leaving the house, he
accidently ran against negro who was stan
ding near the door. The collision seemed to
rufllo the temper of the darkey, who, not salts
fled with abusing the soldier. followed ami stad-
bed him, infcting severe and it is thought
a fatal wound. The Provost Guard arrested
the negro. .--Ha77sbmy 7eleg'vtpt, Noc ~.

McClellan's Plan,

We are told that the Fredericksburg route to
Richmond is part of McClellan's original plan,
and we are also assured that upon leaving the
army he explained his plans fully to Gen Burn
side. If these things be SO, and General Burn
side is now carrying out the plans Of McClel-
Ian, why was Mcclellan removed at all, Hc,
surely could carry out his own plans better than
another! Our own impression is, that this sec-
ond removal, like the first, has been effected by
political pressure to prolong the war-and we
should not be surprised to find the whole army
60 into winter quarters at Frederick, because
Of the impossible character of the roads, or
some new political move ut Washington. We
feel sure that Burnside will not be permitted to
go to Ricnmond, and we think the appointment
Of his successor is only delayed by the uncer-
tainty of its effect upon the army.-Camdna

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
AIpIE, Va, Nov. Is, 1862.

MR.. MEYERS:
More difficult tasks have been perform
ed than writing letters by the light Of a camp
fire in forest Of this land of aiggers and corn
cakSs, and one knows not how pleasant Or un-
pleasant it is until he tries the experiment. On
Sunday morning, the I'd inst, we left Chantilly,
and since that time we have been ON the march
almost constantly. Duing the intervening time
we have visited Ashby and Thoroughiare Gaps,
Warrentpn, Middlebury and several other pla-
ces Taking part in two or three brushes
with the Greybacks and moving about nearly
all the while, the time has passed away almost
unpeiceived. 'Tis now more than Il month since
we left our camp, and many of us since then
have been strangers to the luxury of a tent.
The weather has been pretty favorable for the
movement Of troops during the past few weeks,
though we have had snow stnrm and some
very cold days and nights. We came to this
place last evening, and expect to move forward
again Tomorrow. Too true is the adage, ''the
soldier knows no Sunday" and even the citizen
here, is seldom aware of the coming of the Sab.
hath. am sorry to state that one of our num-
Der, Perry Hlte from Cumberland Valley, in
your county, died in hospital at Washington
City, a few days ago. He had been a member
of our company since last June. A stranger to
fear, lie was good soldier, kind anl stead
fast friend and valued comrad,. Though he
will hearken no more to the bugles note, or an
swer again at the roll CALL we trust that in the
spirit land, to which he has journeyed, he will
find that rest and happiness which may be de-
nied to the comrades he left behind him. Though
youthful he fills an honored soldiers grave 'Iis
sad to think of one so young, dying far from
home and kindred, no mother by his 81 le to
watch his spirit wing its flight, nor sister or low
ed one there, yet such is often the soldiers fate
May our comrade rest in peace.
We do not expect to return to camp SOON
That part of our brigade here is comnlan !e |
by Col. Wyndlam, and the detachment from
our regiment is under the command of Captain
Middleton. The troops in this part of the ar
my adore their General, the gallant Sigel, anil
well he deserves their alteration. Ask a soldier
here what brigade or division he belongs to, and
you will receive the answer sine no brigade him.,
me fights nut SIgel." A short time since cou-
pie Of our cavalry soldiers being hailed by an
infantry picket near Thoroughfare Gap, were
told by the sentry, ':you no pass here, got pnpe,
nut SigeL on him you pass" We trust that win
ter quarters will not trouble us much during the
coming winter, for it is much pleasanter to be
on the move constantly, and the time passes a.
way more quickly, when you arlse in the morn
ing, not knowing where you will again make
your rude bed, with the blue sky for a cover
ing. Time wanes slowly while idling in a camp
But enough. Remembering that at present we
are denied the privilege of being in Bedford
borough, would ask leave to remain,

ty, was installed in office, on Monday of last
Court, and entered immediately upon the dis.
charge of the duties Of his office, Mr.. Palmer

deity to his trust than courtesy to his fellow
attorneys and ability as lawyer and advocate.
We wish him success in his active resumption
of the general duties of his profession and hope
that he may live to that good old age. when
