THE CAMP4IGN IN TIE INTERIOR.

BEULAH, Apr1 8, 1862.
From Our Particular Man of War.

expect to move shortly, however
generally always do move about the
first of April. Or thereabout.
This is as much as am permitted to
mention in connection with the subject
just at present. NUNS the word in this
sSsDepartment, you know.
But am guilty of no breach of conf
dence, methinks, in advising you to an
ticipate rapid succession of big things
before a great while.
The following is my recent address to
nay command:
BeLlicose Brethren: Lend me your ears a
poment. Leaves have their time to fall :
Flowers to wither at the North Winds breath
Stars to set: And all that sort of thing
In the course of human events the time when
it is meet for armies to make q forward move
also invariably comes around occasionally,
sooner or later though the case may be. As
regards the specified army which l have the
honor to head, this mooted tirne-so expec-
family awaited-is about arroye.
''The laws Of our common yet glorious
country have been set at defiance by rebel.
lious ingrates our rulers scoffed and sneezed
at our forts taken possesh of: our arsenals
seized: our mints plundered: and the devil
generally iniquitously kicked up in all and
singular the premises.
This state Of affairs is odious, and cannot
be borne. The Right must be righted the
Wrong left in the lursil. Willing hearts and
brave hands required to execute the job.
Whereof where-are they to kim from?
(Cries out of the ranks Of Hear, hear ~

to be Twenty -Four Hours. When we circu-

the day is ours, per eogsra, you viii find most

"Soljiers: Under each and every circum-
stance combination of circumstances, be-
lieve me, as heretofore, yours, ETC."
These sentiments had an exhilera ting
effect. My men Immediately presented
me with three cheers, and voluntarily
went weak tipular al! around at my ez-
pense.
They have unbounded confidence in me.
They have also great confidence in weak
tipular.
-Apropos of this: Ny First Man of
Light Fusileers-Jones by name, who has
been there somewhat himself-says he
can distinguish singular and striking
dissimilarity between the waters Of the
noble old river whose right of way [ am
now guarding and mug of foaming Xxx.
In this : that whereas the one is only
BlackGck, the other evidently approx
mates to Black Liquor. l believe him.
The National Foundry will eventually
be located here. l went to Washington
last week, and made all necessary arrange
ments to that end. My influence with
the Administration is most potent Be
sides, Beulah possesses greater advanta-
ges, and more Of them, than any other spot
on two continents. Among these | need
only mention the propinquity Of the city
itself to Johnstown borough! I knew
this all along.
The National Armory will be located
at either Oiiiana, Hollidaysburg, Bowling
Green, Pittsburg, Indiana, or elsewhere.
This assertion may be relied on.
The latest information, received this A.
Nj. per pony express, represents all quiet
on the Upper Blacklick, with the trifing
exception that Beauregard-who is always
there when he isn't esewhere-is making
preparations to "take the water"
forthwith If this be so, you may be sure
the busy B. has lost his usual flow of spir-
its, and that the backbone Of the Rebel
lion is indeed broken.
Believe none of the many rumors you
may Gpd floating around loosely.
They invariably prove false.
Credit me always, however.
i am reliable.
