the night before the bombardment Of Roam

cane deck, the fleet lying on the calm
Sound, all around US, aud we we're talking
Of the morrow's battle. Ii was to Be our
first. He said he felt perfectly easy, come
what might | said that all that made
me feel uneasy was, that If | were killed,
| knew what distress it would cause at
home, aud if it we're not for that, would
be perfectly satisfied. He said that did
not trouble him, he did not leave home
until be knew that his mo'her was salts
fed that he should go, and that if be were
killed, she would be resigned. | never
knew one who was SO firmly and consist
emily religious-a. all times, and under
all circumstances. | never knew OF any
relaxation. H. was very brave. After
Newborn, our company was enthusiastic
over him, aud after Camden, this admira
ton knew no bounds Upright in private
life, q gentleman in social relations, gal
lant and fearless in the hour of peril, sad
as is his death, no braver record can any
one leave behind him.

some confusion, our regiment passed
through them, and in unbroken line plan
ted our colors on the highest elevation OF
the mountain. But men had straggled
from the regiment in its long march, and
the 9Th had only killed and l3 wounded.
The Bucktails and the l,t, 9Th, l0rh and
others suffered heavy losses. But We had
gained the day.
Monday We descended the mountain on
this side, aud halted in line Of battle neal
Cadyvillc, but no engagement that day.
Tuesday, We took the advance, drove in
the eneny's pickets towards Sharps5urg,
gained the woods, and rested on our arms
At night, were much annoyed in the dark
by party Of Texan rangers who were
concealed not twenty yards in front.
Wednesday morning, were engaged until
our ammunition gave cut, when We were
ordered from the field, and fresh troops
went forward. BY four o'clock the entire
battle field was ours.
This morning, the enemy were ont of

Home Again w ednesday aftern

Home Again !-Wednesday afternoon
at II O'Clock, Captains Shcrkley and For.
rest reached Lewisburg after twelve days
absence. They thanked their men for their
honorable conduct, in prompt response
to the Governors Gala rally to the Old
Flag SO numerous, so quickly, and with so
bold front, as doubtless to have had no
small influence in saving our State from
invasion and driving the Rebels beck into
Virginia.
The Captains aud the privates seem to
have been we'll pleased with each other.
The Companies look bronzed and thin
with unintermitted hard duties and occas-
ional poor and scant fare, but have gained
something of the soldiers erect and rapid
tread, and are in good spirits. To their
latest day, they will be justly proud ot
their armed visit to Mary. land, Sep 1862.

HAGERsTowN, Sept. IS, 1862.


l joined my old regiment on Saturday
last, with the intention of remaining with
it some days.
The citiz rs of Frederick manifested the
greatest joy at being again under the pro-
lection OF the Stars and Stripes. Young
girls carried miniature flags up and down
the streets, large colors hung from almost
every house, handkerchiefs we're waved, the
soldiers were supplied with water, cakes,
and fruit; one old lady clasped Mcclellan
around the knees, and hailed him as
deliverer, aud a young lady kissed Burn
sides horse But one Rebel flag was
exhibited when they we're in the city, and
where they got one recruit they lost three
by desertiou.
Sunday morning, we left our camp, AMI
marched (myself riding the Adjutant's
horse) fifteen miles through hot sun to
South Mountain Gap, where our artillery
had been feeling the enemy ali day. We
we're filed off to the right with the rest of
Hooker's corps, and drawn up in column
of divisions under the mountain. The
Bucktails we're thea advanced up the
mountain side as skirmshers, and the diff
ferent regiments of the Reserves followed
10 columns of divisions along line OF
more than half mile; but as soon as the
Bucktails became engaged, We deployed in
line of battle, three regiments deep, and
moved steadily up over rocks and brushes,
siumps and stone fences, in the face OF
brisk fire of rifles, shells aud grape, which
brought down great many gallant fel-
lows of other regiments. We advanced to
within few hundred yards of the sum
nit, when, the frs! beiog thrown into

After the great battle of Wednesday
last, along the Aniictam Greek, near
Sharpsburg, Gen. Mcclellan agreed
to an armisticc on Thursday, under
which the Rebel. rctrcatcd over the
Potomac into Virginia, with every
thing Of much value.
The Union men and the Rebels
have each made attacks upon the
opposite side of the river. BY latest
accounts, the Union army Is pushing
the Rebel, back up the Shenandoah.
Gen. ROscncrauS defeated the Rebel
Gen. Price at luka.
Gen. Bragg is threatening LoniS,
willie with large Rebel army, while
Buell. is moving upon Braggs rear.
RETURNING.-Thc Minute Men Of
Pennsylvania who responded so num-
crously and promptly to the Govcrh-
or call, 10 guard our State against
invasion by traitors, are generally
discharged, and are coming home.
They left when real danger threat
cned-did their duty, patriotically-
were successful in their ohiect-had
"a good time" in ell rcspccts-and in
general will only have TO regret that
the campaign hwas so short.
The Lcwisburg Companies, We are
told, moved a few miles south of Ila-
gcrStown, while some OF the members
visited the battle field of Wednesday,
and saw the famed Potomac. They
are expected home, to-day, in a spc-
cial train. Welcomed and may they
hereafter be like The Fircmen-cycr

CAMP NJ CLUEE, Sept. l6, 1852.
A few particulars in reference to the
whereabouts Of the men who recently left
Lewisburg under Captains Shorkley and
Forrest, may be of Interest to your read
ers. They constitute Companies Il AMI {
of the 81 Regiment of the Minute Men of
Pennsylvania. Col. Doris is a. noble fe-
low: when first introduced to US, be made
a telling speech-then took out his Bible,
aud after having read a chapter be offered
prayer-and requested that every Captain
have morning aud evening worship. Lt.
Col. Lawson aud Maj. Efek also made
patriotic addresses.
Camp MUlura is three miles south Of
Chambersturg and about twelve miles from
the State lAue. There are some 20 900
tro0ps-N Noiunieers aud Minute Men
thrown forward between this place aud
Hagerstown. Oar boys are cheerful, and
thoroughly in earnest, and but little
time will be required to render them good
soldiers. We expect TO @ at least to the
State line, aud further If required.
The country here was almost deserted,
but since the arrival Of troops the people
are returning The passage Of the trains
through the Valley from Harrisburg with
thousands Of the sons Of the old Keystone
State, excited the widest enthusiasm. We
went the evenIUg after the receipt of the
recent glorious news Of Rebels defeated,
when the towns along the route were one
blaze Of illumination, aud the whole pop
ulariou seemed 10 be in the streets TO bid
US welcome. Such oyations were well cal
culated to inspire the soldiers, aud recon-
ci.e them to all the trials and dangers Of
the service.
Oue Of the most interesting features in
camp life to me thus far has been the
ease with which men fall into the routine
Of camp duties. Let me give au illustra-
tion. A Rev. editor, formerly pastor Of
one Of our churches, visited the camp this
morning-but imagine his surprise to lind
himself brought to g Halt - by the ven
erable President Of the University at Lew

"Uy N'ry'aad. my Nryimd,' has
been the "yaukee doodle" of the Rebels

a grand parade, wherein young woman
