plainal. The reorder of Infidel -Oversee are ob

debauchery and prodigality have led to rain.
Now, nothing is less suited to pride= habits of
order and saving than Hellenism. Every Greek is
debauehed, prodigal, and expittorive, according to
his means : these gentlemen, far from regulating
I' their expenses by their game, discount the future
and live in-an impossible luxury.. They keep
horses and mistresses. and ontvie slush _other. in
lavish expenditure. The Greek, though it may be

he applies to the roulette or rouge-et-noir table.

reasserting her rights, and takes severe reprisals
on him. "

RobertLBmedin 9 o N6VII. Itgok.*
Two years ago, when M. Robert:Houdin
published his Memoirs, ,(under the title: of
Ciinfidenees eels Prestkligitateur,) he an
nounced his purpose of writing a volume in
which would he explained how sleight-of
hand and other of er= conjuring , tricks and decep
tions are peribimed. As M. Robert Houdin/

also writes with considerable ability, his new
book has been looked for with no small in
terest. But. now-that it has appeared, it is
very different what was 'expected; though
very entertaining and instructive.
Instead of aliewinghow his own legerdemain
feats were pelorined, M. Robert-Itoudin un
veils the cunning and curious tricks of a class
of• swindlers who abound in great European
capitals, but_tupeeinfiy, in Paris. These peo
ple are called: Greeks, and they live by cheating
at cards. The term Greek, applied to the
sharper who:does this - , is derived, M. Houdin
tells us, from ft certain Chevalier of that na
tion, A.pouloa by name, who Was admitted to
the' Court of Attlee. He wen much money,
however, that doubts were entertained as to
the nature Of 'his hick, and presently he was
Caught the act of cheating, and sentenced to
twenty yearn it the galleys. This adventure
caused a great: exeitenient, and thenceforth
the name Apordos, or simply of Greek, was
given to every-individual who - sought to assist
fortune by , knavery. When gaming -houses
ma - publicly opened in Paris, the more skilful
of the sharpens united, and may be said to
.
have takenPossessiOn of the principal saloons,
adroitly isiaying into each other's hands.
Wheever has read M. Houdin/a Memoirs may
recollect that there are some revelations
therein respecting tricks with cards—every
magician, indeed, being expected to have
great skiiL in =manipulating the pack. To
write about cheating with cards, therefore,
comes quite naturally to Houdin.
Gaming housei a Paris, Whieh,4ith. little '
intervention, were publicly licensed by the
.
State, from the time of Cardinal Richelieu
down to that of Undo Philippe, when they
were peremptorily put down by the Govern
ment, were pretty much in the hands of the
Greeks during greater part of two. centuries.
Picket and, quadrille, lattsquenet and pharaon,
wens-the pet games of the , Etapire. Roulette,
invented to prevent cheating, soon was made
subsidiary to the Greeks, one of whom made a
roulette-board, on which the black holes were
slightly but not perceptibly larger than the
red, so that the ball, as it Whirled about,
bad email chance of falling into a red hole.
Roulette, a comparative modern game, was in
-great vogue at Frascati's and the rival houses
of the Palate Royal, but cheating was so noto
rious that the Government had to shut tho
(as thvilmve been called) and they are
not likely to be ever opened again, by license
from the State. Of course, there still are
gaming houses in Paris and in London, despite
of all legsd prohibition. The Greek practises
hit; art there during the winter months, visit
lag Baden-Baden, Spa, and other German wa
tering-plaees, where gaming is allowed, in the
summer. .

Of course, the Greeks who Oheat,all who

ome notable examples. One Raymond, who

over, and the dupes had retired, all the win
nifigis were placed on the table and equitably
divided. But, if wolves do not deveur one
another, thieves have no hesitation in robbing
their fellow-thieves ; and the present - was a
further case in point. It often happened that,
after a game in which one hundred lords, say,
were• lost by the dupes, only sixty were pro
duced when it came to a division. Every
gimbler allowed that there should have been
more money, but no one confessed to having
stolen any. They watched and even searched
each other (for in such company fellows are
not very delicate), but nothing was discover
ed. Finally, it was resolved that Andreas
should institute a secret inquiry. Ho dis
played such zeal that he soon discovered how
it was all done, and who were the guilty par
ties. One of them ordered his servant to come,
at the close of the evening, and ask. him
for a key; and, while giving it him, he
handed him a roll of lonia. If the stakes
were heavy, the servant, upon a signal from
Lis master, brought back the key and carried
off another. roll. A second rogue was more
modest; he faatened a certain number of coins
beneath the table, by the assistance of wax
balhb.andt9o: ireted them when the division
was epecies of human oe
t.rich—swallowed gold "pieces, which he reco
vered by the help of an emetic."
We shall conclude with an anecdote, of
which the celebrated Prince de Talleyrand is
the hero. He was playing at a French game,
called Bennett° (not to be found in Boyle),
and had just dealt. According to the custom
of the game, be waited his turn to declare.
The two first players passed. cc Ten lonia,"
said the third. " Twenty," the diplomatist
replied. "Forty," his opponent continued.
"All/ have on the table," the diplomatist
said boldly, pointing to one hundred lonia be
fore him. But at this moment a card slipped.
from his hands, a nine, which he hurriedly
picked up. But his adversary had time to see
this card, and although he held a breiun of
kings, thought it prudent to decline playing.
In his idea, M. de Talleyrand must have a fine
hand to be so determined. What confirmed
him in this notion was, that the turn-up card
was a nine, and, in all probability, the nine
that fell from the diplomatist's hands formed
part of a bretan earn& The cards were shown,
and. M. de Talleyaand won with a wretched
hand, in which figured the nine, which he had ,
perfidiously let fall in order to intimidate his
opponent.
It is probable that M. Robertliondin's new
book- will be translated and published here.
Perhaps we may return to it, as it abounds in
capital stories and anecdotes.
Letter from Camp Wayne.

CAMP Wertte, Wear CliitITZR, Pa..
May 6, 1861.
Oa the morning of tae 23d of April, 1861, the
Woodward Guards and the Williamsport Rifles
were escorted to the depot by an immense crowd
of the citizens of Williamsport, and, after bidding
adieu to their friosads, took the oars and came to
Camp Curtin. Being a member of the first-named
company. I will he pardoned if I give them wore
attention in this letter than the others. The
Guards were an old company in Williamsport, but,
immediately prior to, the commencement of hostili
ties, had agreed to disband. John C. Dodge, their
captain, had removed to his native. State, Massa
olateetts. One or two young men, members of Ilia
Williamsport - Bar, drew up a paper pledging
themselves to join this oompany, provided they
would immediately offer their services to the Go.

son belong this honor, if it be any honor. D. L.
Montgomery and John 0. Field immediately fell
in, and, by their efforts, in a short time aeoured
one hundred and twenty-four; names. John C.
Dodge, the former captain of the Guards, being in
WUllaminort, gallantly offered to take the com
mand. 818 offer was at once accepted, and he was

Were left behind were as brave and patriotic ati
those were amtepted ; some of them had familia,
and that amount were eat off ; others on account
of their not being strong enough to endure the
hardithips of a campaign. On reaching Harriaburg
we were marched to the camp and our quarters
assigned us. Some of us had never slept out of a
comfortable bed in our lives—Are we had plenty
of straw and half of a blanket apiece. At Camp
Curtin we fared pretty well. Our rations con
slated of bread, beef, pork, potatoes, rice, sugar,
coffee. Every morning a party was detailed to go
to the Commissary Department and procure pro
visions. These were brought up to our quarters in a
musket box, oarried by four men, and lasted a day.
When 5 o'clock arrived the morning gun was fired
and the camp awakened, the rolls of the companies
were called, and the soldiers that were absent put
on an additional guard duty.
.After roll-oall.we were ranged around the tabie,
made of barrels and boxes; before every man was
placed a tin plate and cup, knife, and fork. The
meat and potatoes were placed on the plate, and
the coup filled with coffee—a guard keeping off the
anxious soldiers. When all was ready, the boys
were let on, and speedily devoured their meal,
made savoury and palatable by a good appetite.
At 10i o'clock the companies drilled, and at 2
o'clock a regimental drill was -bad, and the com
panies formed into line of battle. Some of the
companies were also drilled in squads, at other
hours in the day. At 9 o'clock roll was again
called, and, after that, all except those on guard
were ordered to their quarters, and all lights and
fires extinguished. There was a great improve
ment at Camp Curtin during the ten days that we
spent there. At first, it resembled a mob more
than anything else ; provisions were wasted by the
eart-load, pistols were fired off in the midst of the
camp, and a man or two shot. Discipline, how
ever, was soon restored, and order took the place
of confusion. Guards were stationed all around
the camp, and all ingress or ogrese of Millers pni
hibited, without permits from ‘, headquarters."
Some of the guards, however, were rather green.
One of our company, on being stopped bye guard,
told him that he was a superior officer, and threat-
ened to have him punished severely if dared to
interfere with him again, whereupon the guard
became frightened and begged hie pardon.
There were many men , at Camp Curtin who
were unfitted te be soldiers en account of physical
debility and defects. The examination was not
half rigid enough. Of the five or six who died
there, the majority were totally unit to be sob
diets. dome of them died of t , delirium tremens."
Most of the soldiers, however, are men of rugged
Constitutions, and, if properly oared for, will be
free frourdisease, and make a very effootive army.
Our captain was offered the eolonelship of the
Eleventh Regiment. but preferred to remain with
Ids company. The Guards were assigned the first
plaoe in the Eleventh, being company A. The
Eleventh is composed principally of companies
from the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and ,
will undoubtedly make its mark if called into
action, On Friday evening last we were ordered
to prepare to leave Camp Curtin. When we arose
on Saturday, we found our tents covered with
snow to the depth of an inch, and the weather ex
oeedingly unpleasant.
At 9 o'clock we were marched down to the cam
minim department, and eaohIELEIZI furnished with
a haversack of proviaions. We were then marched
to oar position on the right of the 11th. When all
the companies were ready we were marched down
to the oars, and soon the train, containing 800 men,
moved down the Pennsylvania Railroad. All
along the line we were greeted with the , greatest
applause; almost every man, woman or child
swung their hats or waved their handkerchiefs as
we passed along. At about 7 o'clock, A. M., we
reached this place. In consequence of some mis
understanding or inefficiency, our quarters were
not ready. The 9th Regiment were quartered in
the court house and public school house, We
wore, however, marched out to the fair ground,
where some sheds had been hastily constructed
during the day. Our captain having given us per
mission, a number of us came to West Chester
where we enjoyed the luxury of again sleeping in
a good bed.
It seems that we were ordered here when au
preparation had been made to reeeive ns. There
was some gross carelessness somewhere. Up to
this time no rations have been provided for us ex-
oept what are farnishett by the cities:au of the town
and country. It will ka goon made light, I stip=-

and its inhabitants. Here we are in the garden

The sovereignty of the Commonwealth of Virgi
nia having been denied, her territorial rights as
sailed, her soil threatened with invasion by the

ployed whioh could inflame the people of the North

wishes, it becomes the solemn duty of every citi
zen of this State to prepare for the impendingoon-
Mot. , .
Those misrepresentations have been carried to
emelt an extent that foreigners and naturalised citi
zens who; bid a few years ago, were denounoed
the North and deprived of essential rights, have
now been induced to enlist into regiments for par-
poses of invading this State, which then vindioated
those rights sad effectually resisted eucroachmonte
which .threatened their decimation. .
'Atainst snob a-pokey and against a force which
the Government at Washington, relying upon its

follows: -
"We could not control the Governor and his

on next Saturday, we expect to elect John , Crit
tenden, James Guthrie, and Ohara, to a brothetrly
Peace Conference, by a majority unparalleled
heretofore in Kentucky I shall not be surprised
at fifty thousand. The destructionists, anticipating
their fate, have recently resolved to abandon the
contest. Then, in Heaven's name, let nil alone ;
keep the peace on your side of the river, and we
will give treason snob a rebuke in Old Kentucky
that it will never again dare rates its hideous head
among ns. We cannot turn our Governor out of
office until his term expires, and he is the military
commander-in•ohief of the State ; but we can
keep Kentuoky in the Union, if you will let us.
" When a beardless boy I left my father's home
in Kentucky, and matched, with thousands of
brave companion!, to your frontiers, then Invaded
by hostile, ()Mixed, and savage foes. I do not
bout of what I did ; but truthful history will tell
you that I poured out my blood freely, on your
