in he promises that if the Federal forces
are withdrawn the Confederate forces will
also leave the State, and also pledging the
use of his army to maintain the neutral

The War in Missouri.
The war for the Union now wages the
hottest in Missouri. Every day brings us
accounts of desperate rencontres between
the Federal fortes and the rebels. For a
week past we have been "kept in suspense
as to the issue of a contest for the town of
Lexington, oh~ the Missouri river. The
town contains aboict 5,000 inhabitants and
was-occupied by Col. Mulligan in com
mand of Irish brigade of 900,600 cavalry,
500 mounted Home 'guards and 500 in
fantry home guards—in all 2,500 men.
Ho had thrown up entrenchments all
around the town and felt sure that he
could hold the place against ten times his
number. On Saturday Or Monday week,
Gen. Price, with ,a rebel army of about
25.000 men, appeared before the place and
demanded Mulligan to surrender. Mulli
gan replied by telling him to go to a
rather warm climate. Price then stormed
the works, but was repulsed with heavy
loss. Again and again he assayed to take
the fortifications, but was always driven
back. Reinforcements were dispatched
to Mulligan, but from lafte accounts it is
evident they did not reach him. For five
days, Mulligan held out against Price’s
army. On Friday evening last, however,
he was compelled to surrender. His men
were utterly exhausted and had fought for
more than a day without water. Mulli
gan’s defence of Lexington is one of the
most heroic on record, and it is with sor
row that we announce his surrender The
report says that Mulligan lost 37 in killed
and 140 and the rebels about
1.000 killed and wounded.
Gen. McCulloch is now marching on
Jefferson city, the capitol of the Staftc,
Jrith a large and well equipped army.—
Every preparation has been made to meet
him, and if he carries out his design, a
warm time may bejexpectcd.
Gen. Fremont has now a well equipped
army of over 30,(100 men at St. Louis,
and it is constantly being increased. With
this army it is believed that he can make
short work of the rebellion in Missouri.
All the members of his staff have been or
dered to report themselves ready for im
mediate service.
THE SURRENDER OF CQL. MULLIGAN
Hudson, Mo., Sept. 23.—The following ac
count of the siege of Lexington isTurnished to
the St, Louis “Republican'’ by Henry Brad
burn, onc jof Gol. Mulligan's Soldiers, who left
Lexington on Saturday morning. The fort was
surrendered on Friday afternoon. The men
fought for fifty-nine boors without water, and
bad only three barrels of vinegar to quench
their thirst during all that time. There were
no springs or Wells <jf water in the camp ground
as has been stated.; The supply from the
river, and was cut off after a desperate fight on
Wednesday. The camp ground consisted of
about ten acres, and was located a short dis
tance from the river. There were breast-w orks
entirely around it with the exception of the por
tion next the river. It was here the hardest
fighting took place.
The rebels procured a large number of hemp
bales, rolled them in advance, and under their
cover gradually succeeded in securing a position
in the rear. They then cut off the supply of
water, and had the-fort completely surrounded
They made bat few charges upon the breast
works during the entire siege, their object
seemed to be to surround the fort and cut off
the supply of water. Having succeeded in this
they awaited until Col. Mulligan was compel
led to yeild to the foo more terrible than the
twenty-seven thousand rebels that surrounded
him.
Previous to the surrender be offered to take
a position on a level, spot of ground aud give
Gen. Price the odds of four to one in a fair and
open fight, but no attention was paid to it
After the surrender tho rebels mounted the
breastworks and seemed mad with joy.
- As soon as the surrender took place a party
took down the flag and trailed it in the dust.—
An immense amount of gold, supposed to be
about a quarter of a million, fell into the pos
session of the rebels. It was taken from the
banks and buried by Col. Mulligan on the camp
ground, some time: ago. The rebels speedily
unearthed it.
Col. Mulligan wept like a child .when be
found himself compelled to. surrender. The
morning after the : surrender the men were all
released on parole and ferried across tho river.
The officers were‘retained. The loss of the
rebels is not known, but it is-thought to bo not
less than a thousand hilled and wounded.—
Their first attack proved more disastrous to
them'than the long siege which followed. For
day or two previous to the last attack, they
were engaged iu burying their dead.
Fleets Abroad.
Within the past two weeks it is said that
two large fleets have been despatched to
the Southern coasts, but so quietly has it
been done that wc arc unable to tell when
or from whence they sailed, bow many
vessels and men theje were, who comman
ded the expeditions, or whither they were
bound. The fatter we would not tell* if
we did know. Suffice it to say that the
blow will fall where the rebels least expect
it, but where it will prove most effective
to the Federal Government. It is evident
ly the policy of the Government to pre
vent a collision of the armies at Washing
ton and thereby save life, and this will be
accomplished by diversions upon the long
range of Southern sea coast. No fight
will come off at Washington unless forced
upon our lines by an attempt to take the
city. There is a novelty| and excitement
about these secret expeditions which a full
revelation of their strength and destina
tion would entirely destroy. As it is, we
do not anticipate or speculate upon tho
result of them, add when the news of their
achievements arc published wc enjoy it
the more.
OER ARMY CRRRESPOYDEMCE.
Camp hear Fort Corcoraw, Fa. V
s September 12 th, 1861. /
Messrs E»horb:— ln my tost letter to you I
intimated afid certainly expected that we would
ere this, hare made an advance on tlio enemy,
but this order came to resume our duties, as be
fore. . Ton may rest assured we were disap
pointed, for we all really expected to be on a
march'by day-light the next morning. Jfe are
getting tired of camp-life, and there is not a
man of ns but would be glad to engage the ene
my in .mortal combat.
There hss been rumors of slight skirmishing
in the vicinity of the Chain Bridge, and also
between the pickets of the two armies. A day
or two since I was conversing with a returned
picket who told mo that they have had frequent
shots between them, often attended with fatal
results, and that since their regiment has been
engaged On picket duty—about six weeks—they
have lost over 40 men, all of whom have been
shot by the rebels. Be told me that when last
out, on Tuesday or Wednesday lust, one poor
fellow was shot through tbe heart while eating
his dinner. Our men being venturesome emerge
from their cover and are picked off by the rebel
pickets, who are constantly on the alert,’ though
concealed from view. There is a dwelling
house about four miles from here, known as
Ball's House, which our pickets occupy during
tbe day, but at night the rebels chase them but
and it, to be themselves chased out again
in ihe morning.
1 bad almost forgot to mention that we re
ceived our uniforms on Friday last, about 10
o’clock at night, just previous to our expected
expedition, which was so suddenly terminated.
The uniform consists of dark blue biouse, pre
cisely tbe same style as those we had ia the
three month's service, although much better
made and lined throughout. The punts are of
the same color, but I think better material.—
There are but two companies in tho regiment
dressed in this style, viz: companies L. and M.
They qre tbe flanking or skirmishing companies,
company L occupying the right and company M
tbe left flank of the regiment.
To-day eight companies of the regiment start
ed oat with axes, shovels and picks, and pro
ceeded in tho direction of the Chain Bridge,
hewing down the forest as we wont, to the dis
tance of fifteen feet on each side of the road.—
It was really astonishing to ace how rapidly
tbe work was performed. In the short space o
four hours weeut down and cleared away nearly
four miles of thick pine forest.
There is little news worthy of mention in
camp, but should anything worthy of note occur
I shall deem it an agreeable privilege, as well
as a duty I owe to your kindness, to promptly
inform you of it.
Our regiment is now known as the 83d Penn
sylvania Regiment.
Very Respectfully Youre,
W. 1. BLAIN.
Camp Cbossman, Huntingdon, Pa., 1
September 20, 18G1. /
Messrs. Editors:— lf you will bo so kiud as
to allow a soldier a little space in your paper,
I will try to give you a faint idea of. camp life
as 1 find it in “Camp Crossman”, near, Hunting
don. Ibis camp was established on the 4th of
August, by order of General J. V. James. It
is now, in the abscence of the General, under
command of Capt. Crowthor, who brought the
first company of mjen hero. We have now in
camp about twelve companies, or rather parts
of companies, the number of men in all amount
ing to over 700. The companies are rapidly
filling up, and we expect to have the brigade
formed in a short time. The officers of the
camp are men of experience energy and talent,
and for the most part bound together by the
tics of social friendship; and we ore determined
to have none other to rule or lead us than those
who are willing to make sacrifice of home,
friends and money to recruit men for their
country’s good, and, if needs bo, to serve that
country without one ambitions glance toward
office, if such may interfere in any way with the
harmonious progress of our camp. This being
the case, those paper-beaded Colonels who are
dashing from pillar to post, seeking positions of
honor and profit, when their merits lie in an
other direction, need not trouble themselves
looking for offices here.
i Col. Johnson, of Harrisburg, was here on the,
I ICth, and Informed ua be czpectedjto introduce
{ a regiment into our camp, and ire arc looking
for him ever; day.
Our officers and men are all in good spirits
and buoyant with the hope of soon being able
to join our freinds who are more directly seek
ing to aid their country in this day of trial.
The sito of our camp has been excellently
selected. The perimeter encloses about 18
acres, slightly undulating but still perfectly ad
missablo as a drill-ground. We are about three
miles from the town of Huntingdon, and 2i
miles from Warm Springs. There are hacks
running between the town and camp all the
time, and ladies and gentlemen visit us fre
quently.' We mention this fact for the benefit
of those who may wish to visit the camp with
out fatigueing themselves by a long walk.
The fact is, this does not appear to me to be
camp life; os I have immagined it, at least in
regard to provisions. We really live at home,
for Uncle Sam s upplies us with plenty of good
bread, fresh and salt meat, coffee, Sugar, rice,
potatoes, &c., and bat few days passes that wo
do not receive the compliments of Mrs. Shoe
maker, or some other fair friend, in the shape
of a basket of tomatoes, or. apples, a crock of
pickles, or some other dainty which makes us
smile,- and gives us open countenances. All
these things are very nice, but they are nothing
in my t eyes compared with the smiling faces of
the young ladies who honor ns with their pres
ence at our quarters occasionally.
While we respectfully invite all our patriotic
. friends to visit us, we will inform them before
hand that they must not be surprised at the un
developed state of the soldiers. They must be
excused on the ground that they have been here
but a short time, and most of that time engaged
in putting up buildings for protection against
the weather.
In my next I will cmloavor to give a little
more explicit account of affairs in this camp,
and make my commuhieations mors interesting
to tbe general reader.
A SOLDIER.
Camp Cameron, wear ll.vußisßurfa, \
September 28d, 1861. /
Messrs. Editors :—As many of our friends
in Altoona and vicinity will doubtless be pleased
to bear from us, I hope you will not consider,
me intrusive if I send yon a few notes of
life. Our company is now located in Camp
Cameron, about two miles from Harrisburg, in
a beautiful situation on the border of a piece of
woodland. It is laid out rather irregularly,
owing to the unevenness of tho ground. There
are cow fourteen companies of infantry, five
Companies of cavalry, end one' battery of ar
tillery in camp. Serai of tbs infantry compa
nies belong to Co blowers' Keystone Zouave
Regiment Three more companies will arrive
this week, when the full number of companies
will be in camp. ' All tbe men belonging to the
Zouave Regiment are now uniformed, and we
expect by tbe last of tbe week to be fully
equipped with new tents and camp furniture.
The entire camp is under the control of Major
Williams, 6th Artillery, U. S. A. He has estab
lished strict military discipline throughout.—
Reveille beats at daybreak; Breakfast Call at
6A. M.; Drill Call at 7J A. M., when we have
squad drill for ono hour. Drill Call again at 9
A. M., when we have company drill for an hour
ond a half, in a field about oie-fourth of a mile
distant from camp. Dinner Call at 12 M. ' Po
lice Call at IP. M. Drill Call again at SP.
M. After drilling for two hours wthavo dress
parade, and at 6P. M, guard m muting. Tat
too beats at 8 P. M., and at 6}, Taps are sounded,
when all lights must bo extinguished and the
men in their quarters. Major W. has also or
dered that os soon as a competent officer can be
obtained, an officers’drill and recitation in mili
tary tactics will be bad daily. By this you will
see what the general arrangements and duties
of tho camp arc. Capt. Wayne's company,
j from Altoona, and Capt. Hicks’ company from
1 Duucunsvillc, represent Blair county ia the
Regiment of Keystone Zouaves. And I may
hero say, that, notwithstanding the many mali
cious reports chat have been circulated concern
ing tbe above named Captains, they have both
i succeeded in raising the number'of men neccs-
I Baryta constitute a company, and have them
I now in camp. Their companies are being lu
j creosed by fresh accessions every day. The
I good namo which the Zouaves have established
for themselves has had tbe effect of inducing
many to join, who would uof have done so from
any other motive, and has gained for us the
{ approbation and praise of the commanding offi
j ccr. It is a noticeable fact that all those who
have bees so exceedingly busy in sirculating
j such injurious reports, are the very persons who
i would be tbe last to leave their homes and fain
j Rise to rally to the defence of their country.—
| They ore generally those who would rather
j thrust their hands into Uncle Sam's pocket, for
j their own benefit, and who are governed more
1 by tbe desire for their own aggrandizement than
j by motives of patriotism and lovo of country.
But I will let them pass, and just remind them
that all their efforts to injure have only urged
those in command to more vigorous exertion.
Nothing of importance has occurred lately which
will interest your readers. Whenever anything
worthy of note takes place I will record it and
you shall have it. In my next I will give yon
a list of the officers and men in Capt. Wayne v s
company. For tho information of all who have
,friends in Capt. Wayne's company, I would ad
vise them to direct their letters “in care of
Capt. Wayne, Keystone Zouaves,.Camp Cameron,
near Harrisburg.” KEYSTONE.

Messrs. Editors :—Permit me through the
columns of your paper to acknowledge the re
ceipt of a valuable and welcome present’, in the
shape of a large invoice of tobacco! and segars,
sent to mo for the use of the ’’Blair County
Sharp-Shooters,’' by some of our kind friends,
in your town. Gentlemen, yon have received a
thousand thanks and several hearty cheers from
the boys for your hospitality, anl rest assured
that you could scarcely have sent anything that
would have given more pleasure and satisfaction
to every one. Even those who do not use the
“weed" ore pleased to know that the wants of
their fellows are supplied. By this act you
have done good. You have encouraged and
stimulated the boys to renewed vigor—you have
instilled, as it were, new life into their souls,
for they bare now unmistakeablc evidence thal
they are not forgotten by those they left behind
them, and a willingness manifested to supply
their wants with little extras which, to some,
are almost indispcnsible, but which ore rarely
to be had on the “tented field.” All feel de
termined, by the Divine blessing, to prove by
their actions, whether in the camp or oa the
field of action, thgt they are worthy the confi
dence reposed in them by their friends at home.
In this connection I desire to return my sincere
thanks to my friend Hostetler for favors sent
me as well as the company. This mark of
friendship shall not soon be forgotten.
Very Truly Yours,
E. J. CROZUER.

The Rebel Scheme At Harper's Febrt.—
The Washington “ Republican" gives tbe fol
lowing account of tbe deception need by tbe
Virginia Rebel leaders to poseesi themselves of
tbe armory buildings at Harper** Ferry. The
statement is furnished by ohe wboee veraehy is
vouched for, and who has beena sufferer by tbe
theiveing depredations committed by tbe Vir
ginia outlaws. It appear* that the passage of
the secession ordinance by~ tbe traitor conven
tion of Virginia wae at first a secret, and before
its promulgation' at Richmond, the delegates
from the Harper’s Ferry region had returned to
their homes. The instant of their arrival there
they summoned together the militia officers of
their neighborhood, -told them that another
“John Brown raid” had been made at Harper’s
Ferry, and that they had been sent by Qov.
Letcher, in obedience to a requisition made by
President Lincoln, to call out the militia to
repel the invasion. This appeal was promptly
responded to, and Harper's Ferry was taken
possession of by a body of men who believed
they were acting under authority of the United
States Government, and who never understood
their true position, until, after a few days, they
fotind strangers, secession leaders from the
South, superceding their officers, ami strange
soldiers from distant parts looking with suspi
cion upon themselves. Or. Fiinsten, of White
Post, Clarke county, at present distinguished
as a proscriptive and cruel officer, of the rebels
in that region, was peculiarly a lroit and ener
getic in consummating this great act of villainy,
which, like utmost every act as yet performed
by the rebel horde, is characterized by mean
ness, falsehood and fraud towards tho loyal and
peace-loving portion of their own citizens.
Lances foe tub United States Cavaebv.
—lt appears that the lance is: to be once more
used as a weapon in the American army. A
prominent manufacturer of Cincinnati baa been
ordered to make a sample weapon, and bid for
the manufacture of a large number. There has
always been a kind of romance attached to this
weapon, and its adoption will Serve to render
Abe cavalry service additionally popular- Tile
lance is composed of a sharp Steel blade, from
eight to ten inches long, shaped much like the
common bayonet, which is attached to a handle,
of light strong wood, from nine to twelve feet
long. The whole weapon weighs frotn four to
fivo pounds. It is bung to the arm of the rider
by a swiveled strap, so that when mot grasped
it swings to an upright positioh, l the lower end
fitting into a leather boot. Lancers arc more
formidable than any . other cavalry, because of
tbeir longer reach. This arm has not been used
much in' the United States service, because of
its utter uselessness in Indian fighting, and on
the Plains, where a hickory club is as formida
ble a weapon. But for charging on infantry,
who resist with the bayonet, nothing can equal
it. In close quarters the lancer depends upon
bis sabre.
Rejecting their Gold. —An amusing scene
occurred in the camp of a Pennsylvania regi
ment last week. Our troops were engaged in
a brisk skirmish with the rebels at LewiusviUc,
just above'the Chain Bridge, pearly opposite,
on the Washington side of the river, Gen. Mc-
Call's division was in camp, and the paymaster
was counting out tbo gold due the troops for
their services. Word was received of what was
going on over tbo river. The men spring to
tbeir arms anticipating an order to march. The
regiment among whom the money was being dis
tributed turned tbeir bucks upon the paymaster
and his treasure, as if it were a matter of no
account One man was signing a receipt for
his yellow heap then lying on. the table; he
dropped his pen and rushed for the camp, leav
ing pen, paper and gold to take cure of them
selves. Another hastily shouted, “hold on to
mine ’till to-morrow," and darted from tliotent.
The paymaster was left alone with the gold, With,
time to contemplate the curious incidents of
war.
Db&ftixo in Mew Yobk.— Letters from the
highest military authorities at the Elmira ren
dezvous, state that recruiting goes Ob so slowly
that the Governor of Mew York will be com
pelled to resort to drafting. A a order to that
effect will soon be published. Of the necessity
for this step there can be but little question,
when it is added that of 25,000 men recently
called for by the Governor, six weeks since, only
some 7,000 bave responded.

ers It will no doubt do all that is claimed for it. The
name and world-wide reputation of the inventor is a snO
cicnt goaantee for that, bat we have tried it, and know It
will exhilarate and strengthen by toning up the weakened
organs, and enabling them to perform all their ftmcttoiie.

Is nothing like it; it will strengthen; exhilarate, create an
appetite at once, regulate the biilonaayitem, aid dlgection
and in short, restore the weakened organa to all their orig

should be in the bands of every inrsJM and in every fam.

Even those who are in the enjoyment of perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to tunics
as preventives of disease. Tfc arc noser too well armored
against the assaults of “the ilia that flesh la hoir to."-
Such an invigorator they may find in UOSTETTKR’H BIT
IERS—a medicine that cannot be taken regularly without
giving vitaiity and elasticity to the system. At this sea
son, particularly, the strongest man' is not proof against
the malaria, in certain sections of the country. In ail
cases offerer and uguo, the Burns is more potent than
amount.of quinine, while the meet dangerous cases of
bilious fever yield to its wonderful properties. Those who
have tried the medicine will never use another, for any of
the ailments which the Uostetter Bitten professes to sob
due. To those who have not made tho experlmont, we
cordially recommend an early application to the Bitters,
whenever they arc'stricken by diseases of tho digestive
organs. 49*Sold by di uggists and dealei s every where,
