ED. TELEGRAPH-Sir:-With your per
mission will occupy brief space in your
columns, knowing that whatever relates to
the Second Ohio Vol. Cavalry, and espe.
cally to company "F," of said regiment,
will be read with interest by many of the
readers Of your excellent journal. Co. "F,'
you are aware, is composed of men from
your county, and is now commanded by
Lieutenant F. E. Watrons, of your town
On Thursday, the 30th Of April, the regi.
ment was ordered with other troops to
cross The Cumberland river six miles from
this place, in order 10 route a rebel force
said to be at Monticello and Albany. Soon
after crossing skirmishing commenced with
tho rebels advance pickets, thrown out
some fifteen miles 10 watch our movements.
These were driven in by our advance guard
and our force of 600 10 500 men moved on,
and on Friday made our headquarters al
Monticello, in Wayne county, Ks@tucky.
Friday, May lst, Co. "F," led by Lieut..
Watrons, had pretty severe skirmish with
the euemy.a ruuuing fight Of about eight
miles, over q rough road, which resulted iu
the route of the "rebs" with loss of three
or fonr killed aud ten or twelve wounded
and prisones. Our loss none. One man,
d. l.. SKIDMoRE, slightly wounded in the
leg Corporal A. d. SEAMANs had his
horse killed under him, and private n. e
SpRAcUE had his horse wourded. The
force Of the enemy was over 200 men

The rebel force at or near Monticello Oh

CHILDREN.
by PARK BENJAMIS'

Unto me there are no blessings,
Which high Heavun, indulgent lends,
Dearer than the sweet caresslugs,
or my little friends.
When they feck, like birds, about me
Birds in rainbow plumage clad
Their bright looks aud thrilling voices
Make my spirit glad.
Pure, con6ding, free from sorrow,
Free from even a shade Of sin,
They, like lilies iu their glory,
Neither toll nor spin.
Wicked tongues have not assailed them,
Or the serpent, slander. stuug.
Or the poisonous ivy clambered
Their green leaves among.
Para sites, aud false companions
Uave not stolen their guleless trust
And their IL. "deresl flowers OF feeling
Trampled ID The dust.
Dark sus, ,,icion, envy, malice
E;snds 10 an and foes to God

BY their footsteps 'ou'
Mother. love has folded reund th.m
Arms moro soft than angels wings.
And With sWeeier aecsnts lulled them.
Than an angel sings.
Father-loye, defending. keeping,
Leading. strengthening, cheering. throws,
Its broad shield above Them, waking
Or in deep repose.
Gentle darliugs, spotless creatures,
How, through many a livs.long day,
Have /, neither vexed nor weary,
Joined your merry play!

Never where young children be;
Though for them my love be endless,
Large 10 theirs for me-

OUR UNION.
By ALFRED n. STREET.

Our Union, the gift of our fathers
In wrath roars the tempest above!
The darker and nearer our danger
The warmer AMI closer our love.
Though stricken, it never shall perish;
1t bends but not breaks to the blast;
Foes rush on in fury TO reud It,
But we will be true 10 the last
Our Union. ordained of Jehovah,
Man sets not the fiat aside
AS well clesve the welkin asunder
AS the one mighty system divide.
The grand Mississippi sounds ever,
From pine down to palm. tie decree;
The spindle, the corn, aud the cotton,
One paeon shout, Union, 10 thee!
Our Union, the lightning Of battle
First kndled the fame ofits shrine!
The blood and the tears Of our people
Have made it forever divine;
In battle we then will defend ii!
Will fight till The triumph is won!
Till the States form the realm ofthe Union
As the sky forms the realm of the sun.

Gs- An address from the Union State
Central Committee of Maryland to the
people of that State is published. The
Committee say: i2- a
president Lincoln and his whole Cabi-
net, without exception, SO far as this Com
mittee are informed, have uniformly re-
cognized the principle of exclusive State
Jurisdiction over the institution of Slavery,
and the duty Of the Government to see that
no constitutional right is infringed.
The people of the State Of Maryland are
not opposed to voluntary consultation, and
expect, at the proper time, to approach the
subject of Slavery with a full view of its
responsibilities, and what may be demand
ed of them in the changed aspect which it
presents at this time, involving, as it does,
the most vital principles of State policy
They know that the substance is already

Sne said there were four acres in the lot.
ne asked how much it yielded to the acre.
she said, ifwell tended it would yield six
" bushels, but she had been obliged to
teno " herself, and thought there was only
I'LL " pusnelS TO the acre, and would only
take pay st that rate. These incidents Of
the simple honesty of the people, will IL
iustrate their character, and the feeling
with which they looked upon the triumph
ant march OF our troops. They care little
about the policy Of the Administration"
All they want is that the rebels shall be
whipped and the Union restored. They
have no fears after that. They associate,
as well they may, liberty, Justice and peace
with the Union; and thew know thew have
had oppression, anarchy and blood she'd in
the Southern Confederaey. 1t is a com
mon expression among them, 1--WE were
born under the old flag and the Constitu-
ton. They are good enough for us, and we
intend TO die under them.' About Knox
vile the people were pointing out the bid
ing-places of rebel stores, and were zeal
GUS in SO doing. The prominent secession
lists at Knoxville fled with Buckner,-
There are few left who have assisted the
secession blood hounds, and the popular
expression was ''they must leave here or
they must die. They can't live here"
The Quartermaster's Department was in
charge Of Capt. Morris during Burnside's
march, and admirably conducted. The
troops moving rapidly and for great dis
lance through barren country. we're new
er without rations, and only TWO Wagons
were abanoned On the march. They were
broken down on the mountains. This
is astonishing, as the trains were very
heavy, one of them consisting of five hun
dred wagons.
The health of the army is all that could
be desired. When it reached Knoxville it
was supposed the hardships endured on the
forced marches would cause much sickness
and q hospital was prepared. But so few
entered it for treatment that the Surgeon in
charge said he had nothing to do, and
asked to be permitted to join his regi-
ment The most singular good fortune
attended the expedition througtout.-
Nothing was wanting TO its complete sue
cess. - INA ~
We derive these particulars from Major
w. ii. Church, of New York, Medical BIZ
rector of Gen. Burnside's Army, who ac-
cornpanied the General from Crab Orchard
to Cumberland Gap, which place he soon
left after the surrender. He arrived in the
city Saturday night and is stopping at the
Burnet House. Hell gentleman Of high
character, and, speaking OF Things he has
seen, the most implicit confidence may be
placed in his statements.

The East Tennesseans were so glad to
see our soldiers that they cooked every
thing they had and gave it to them freely,
not asking pay, and apparently not think
ing Of it. Women stood by the road side
with pals of water, and displayed Union
flags. The wonder was where all the stars
and stripes came from. Knoxville was ra-
diant with flags. At point on the roao,
from Kingston to Knoxville, sixty women
and girls stood by the road side waving
Union flags and shouting "Hurrah ioI lne

said her well was only twenty feet dep, and
would not have the extra five feet Of rope.
A Mrs, Staples, whose husband had been
murdered by the rebels, came out to see

him he was welcome-they were glad to
