Army Correspondence.
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VAy !
June 9th, 1863. y
Mv Dear Sir -

My Dea, ST!--
One Division Of the 9th Corps Is
across the river, and our pickets extend
beyond the Bowling Green road. Our
troops have cntrenched themselves, and
are building redans to flank the lines of
earth-works. The object OF this move was
doubtless 10 keep the enemy from sending
troops elsewhere, and now that we hold
the opposite bank of the river, it is prob
able that we vii, keep small force there,
and as matter of course keep the pom
toon bridges down. BY this means we
are constantly threatening their front, and
at the same time put it beyond their pow
er to get much of start in case they
"change their base
1t is not probable that Hooker will
move soon Uotantariiy Some movement
of the enemy may precipitate one on ouI
part, bu; | doubt whether we take the
initiative for some time,
! This inaction is terrible. The road;
are good, the weather is fine, and the
troops are in splendid condition, and not
withstanding their frequent rcverSes are
anxious to advance. Grant and his army
are contending nobly, while overwhelm'
ing numbers are gathering in their rear
yet this splendid body of men is inactive
You can appreciate our feelings by re-
membering that since September, 1862
we have not gained a single advantage
If our government will moi concentrate its
forces for decisive blows, it should at leas
use its detachments at one lime, and there.
by gain some advantage, or prevent the
enemy from concentrating.

Returned from the War.

We learn from reliable source, that
Lieut.. A. b. Tate, who recruited squad
of men in this county for the l36lh Regi-
ment Penna, Volunteers, returned home
with his command on Monday evening
last, and met with grand reception by
the citizens of Bloomsburg, irrespective Of
party. This is right. All attempts to
make political capital, by either party in the
reception Of these returning braves, should
be Indignantly secuted by every high.
minded citizen If proper reception
in which men of all partier can freel y
participate, cannot be rendered, it were
better for all concerned that none were
given. We are pleased to know that Lieut.
Tate has demeaned himself as becomes
loyal citizen and faithful soldes. He
retres from the service-having served
nine months-with the esteem Of his fel
low officers, and the most unlimited con.
fdence of his spartan band, who enlistnd
with him from this county, and who have
followed him through all the yicissitudei
and dangers Of the tented field.

he might remain the balance Of the week,
but on Thursday afternoon he left on foot

dead on Saturday morning. A Coroner

DSs- 1t has been said that New York
State has filed her quota of the 800 900
men the President expected to call for
shortly, and that no draft will be made in
that State. Be that as it may, the Jour,
nal Of Commerce says that enrolling is
quietly proceeding in that city, and that
no difficulty Is experienced, owing to gen
tlcmanly behavior Of the officers who are
doing the duty. Doubtless with the cx-
ercise of the same care and good sense, it
would be equally orderly everywhere.
The Journal also says the classes into
which the act divides the people are about
as four of the first class to ore of the
second.

Talk about Tories.

Of Tory. We can assure DOctor Pale

mistake on his part, as the truth OF his
tory will seriously initiate against himself
And now to the record.
We commenced our political career by
voting for ANDREW JACKSON, and have
been voting in that direction ever since,
without the slightest variation. Our father
was Chester county Democrat, of the
Jackson school, served in the war of 1912,
was for twenty one years, consccutiyely y,
appointed and acted as a Legal Magistrate
in the County of Cearfeld. More his
Father came from Ireland, where Tories
are as scarce as Snakes, and fell upon the

of the Mexican war, and the only one they
ever favored is the "Mgger War" of their

we had the solemn pledge of the federal
administration AND of the party which
placed it in power, as expressed in the
resolution passed by Congress on July
22d, 1861, that it "is not waged on their
part in any spirit of oppression or for any
purpose of conquest or subjugation or pur-
pose of overthrowing or interfering with
