and as to "flying" before the enemy,

from our Commonwealth
which embraced no veterans, have en
tered and participated in the mortal
fray at a much earlier period after en

they have.come out having accom
plished mighty deeds of valor which
redoundedAo the honor of both State
and Nation. It is reasonable to sup-.

A STORM
On Sunday the 14th inst., a terrific
tbnnder shower visited us, and almost
inimediately torrents of water were
coursing over the camp. ground, and,
passing underneath the shelters of our
boys, perpetrated damages to a con
siderable extent upon things valuable
and invaluable, .Since then black
clouds and, heavy rains have been with
low exceptions the alternate order of
the days j'Aiid as. I write I am sur
roonded;with ths disagreeable eviden

all experienced what it is to sleep un
der shelters in a thunder-storm, and
all agreel in saying, notwithstanding
the subject for fun that it sometimes
affords", it, is not very pleasant.

one third our time the pantaloons of
some of the boys were unfit, to wear,
outrivalling in "rips" and "tears"
those. of the first three month's men.
We know not whom to censure for the
distribution of such articles of apparel,
but we, do think that the Inspector
examined them blindfolded. Luckily,
however, steps have been taken to
have these condemnable concerns re
moved from sight,; the boys have had
the libeity to draw now clothing, and
the "dark" will soon be substituted by
the light blues. Then, it is to be ho
ped, cause for uncomfort and grumb
ling will be displaced.
I stated above that we were in close
proximity to the field of strife. Such
is the fact, if our ears and eyes do not
betray int. Ever and anon the rumb
ling of artillery is hoard it the distance
and volumes of misty smoke ascend
to the clouds; beyond the western
hills, to disclose the fact that beneath
a bloody strife is raging. As this
scene presents itself and, us the roar
continues various thoughts possess
the boys; Sonic dread a defeat, others
rejoice in victory; and speculation is
rapid and changeable :LB to what will
be done with us; some thinking from
the nearness of the conflict, that a re
bel force might be detached to sur
prise and capture us, while others, of
a more composed temperament, judge
that we are safe, and, if we see them
at all, we
will be led against them. Of
course, it is interesting to listen to
such opinions from our comrades, who
each knows as much as his brother
what movements are taking place;
and the conversation occasi%s a plea
sant, if not instructive, pastime. All
have confidence in the leader of the
Union army •in the Shenandoah valley
and believe that everything will re ,
suit favorably to the success of our
cause.
On Friday evening last, the 26th
inst., ti now and beautiful flag, given
us by the Government, was brought
mi.dress parade for the first : time. No,-
thirig,wae said-on-the-occasion in the
way of speeches and nothing was done'
in the way of presentation, but the
emblem was unfurled to the breeze
and each man felt that. was his to de
fend and preserve, and that under it,
if need be, be would die.
Immediately after inspection on yes
terday (Sunday) morning, the boys
were•thrown into a considerable state
of excitement by the manufactured
reports of the advance of rebel caval
ry and the driving in of our pickets,
together with other canards which
have a tendency to excite and arouse
if not to surprise. A train of armed
Union soldiers was standing on the
rnilroad bridge, at the time, and
from them repeated firing could , be
heard, occasioned by some of the more
impatient, boisterous and unruly. It
was,the reports of the guns belonging
to these men that produced the re
ports of the rebel advance, and caus
ed the issuing of tho order to "fall in."
Immediately the companies fell in,
with minimum numbers, (some of the
boys having unintentionally strayed)
and were in line, when the Colonel or-'
dewed the right flank to move forward,
upon thO railroad, a few rods distant.
This was done, and the flank halted a
few feet from the same. The loft
flank crossed the railroad and halted
a few feet on the other side, and faced
toward the railroad. This may seem
a mysterious movement to an advan
cing enemy, but one which resulted
most favorably.
While these movements were taking
place, the train which contained the
soldiers was backed to a position op
posite the right flank of our regiment,
and there stopped. Here were the
promoters of the disturbance already
in our hands, and taken without the
,firing of a gum. The carbines of the
cavalrymen (for they were Union ca
valrymen going to join their regiments
under Sheridan, but not rebels) were
then examined• by orders of Gen. Ty
ler, who was then at this , post, and
I those who had discharged their pieces
were placed under arrest. There were
about throe hundred of them on the
train. The train moved on, and we
are ordered to our quarters. This was
glory enough for ono day.
I can again repeat that the health
of our regiment is excellent; but ono
death has occurred from sickness.
The boys, notwithstanding their prox
imity to war in earnest, and notwith
standing the rumors of capture, &c..
that you have heard at home, are in
good spirits, and ready to do their du
t ". , "JUNTO."

The Democratic Principle.
It has all along been maintained by
the friends of the Union that the in
surrection got up at the South was
not alone to protect slavery from agi
tation at the North, or from restric_
tions by Congress upon its universal
extension, but to get rid forever of
the democratic principle that the ma
jority shall rule; that, consequently,
northern democrats, who have most
to lose by the, abandonment of this,
ought to set their faces the most stron
uously against the rebellion. Those
who 'have been uceastomed.r. peruse
southern papers for a number, of years,
will not need to ho mph:clod of the
truth of this position. Dr. Russell, in
his interview with the glum and sul
len Governor Pettus of Mississippi in
1861, learned how the programme of
I disfranchising poor, foreigners, as the
first step toward disfranchising, poor
native whites, had been arranged and
adopted. Jefferson Davis said to Mes
srs. Gilmore and Jaques, in their re
cent interview with him at 'Richmond
"We seceded to get rid of the rule of
the majority; for which reason ho old
not bear to have propositions looking
to the re-establishment of poem and
union submitted to the people. To
the incidental remark that the majori
ty must rule finally, be further re
plied : "I am not so sure .of that."
Neither events nor history shows that
the majority rules or ever did rule.
The contrary, I think. is true. Why,
sir, the man who should go before the
southern people with such a proposi
tion—with any proposition which im
plied that the North was to have a
voice in determining the relations • of
the South—could not live a day. He'
would be hanged to the first tree with-'
out judge or Jury."
It may be thought that these doe:
trines are but the momentary ebulli
tions created in the minds of a few
lenders at the South by the passion
ate r heats of the war, bUt that is not
the case. During the dark ages in
our country's history, while the love,
of liberty was gradually weakening
from a passion to a sentiment, from a
sentiment to an abstraction, and frfn'
an abstraction to a mere "glittering
generality," the master minds, of .se
cession were busily engaged in devi
sing some plan by which, under the
forms of universal suffrage, the will of
the majority could Yet be sot aside.
In the September number of Ifaryerls
Magazine appears a letter written by
the Rev. Aaron Foster, who was for
Many years pastor of a Presbyterian
church in. South Carolina, in the neigh
boyhoodof Mr. Calhoun's residence,
and who enjoyed a close intimacy with
thatdistinguished man: We • quote;
"I will saggestand I think my pe- .
culiar opportunities for judging must
guide me
,right in the opinion—that
the mind of Mr. Calhoun, during those
years between 1824 and 1835, was la
boring on the certainty that freedom
must out-vote slavery; and that, i
the progress of the race, freedom must
be united against it politically. He
either honestly believed in slavery, or
saw that his lot and political hopes
were cast out of freedom into sla very
Fer many years he labored with. the
problem how Minorities could be macho
to govern majorities. This was the
harden of his conversation with MO
betwe6n ws and the end of 1832,. in
clUding state rights and.. nullification
and the insufficiency of the 'United
States constitution to protest

[ties.: My opinion is; that. finding no
relief in these theories so long as a ma•
jority of the state votes controlled the
Policy of the nation, he turned, with
hope for the institution of slavery, :to
secession, thinking to live long enough
to be its head and glory."
Thus, a generation ago, the active

houn *as omploying itself for yearEi
succession to work out the •prob

joritces under: the constitution. That

follow: .Davis is but the outgrowth
of Calhoun's speculations.. South Car

' in viewof this evidence it is utter
ly abSurd to suppose that any conces
shins granted to slavery and the sou
thern states in the beginning of 1361
would have prevented the outburst of
disunion feeling. That hudacious and
powerful faction, which had arrogated
to itself the title of "the South," was
determined not to be conciliated by
any sacrifice Which the North could
Make, short or utterly and forever '
abandoning the principle that the ma
jority shall rule--of course accepting,
With the honors- and emoluments, the
responsibilities of government. As
lung as this war regarded as funda
mental in tho free states the slavery
oligarchs felt insecure; and indeed,
had they carried this great lino of
Popular defences, they would have
again felt insecure until other and in
ner lines had also been carried ; for it
is of the nature of wrong to be ag
gressive, and after one success to be-
come insane for further conquests,
generations will point to the stand.

How to make Beautiful Homes.
The' greater part of our population
are waiting till they can afford to have
pleasant homes, forgetting, that they
can at no time afford to have any, oth
er. We take the color of our daily
surroundings, and are happier, more
amiable, stronger to labor and firmer
to endure, when those surroundings
aro pleasing and in good, taste. - To
possess these important qualities they
need not be expensive.. Time beauty
is cheaper than we. think.. The first
charm of a home, within and without,
is thorough neatnessond' this • is . the
result of habit, not outlay. It is often
cheaper than filth. - Paint the house if
you can; if not, whitewashTbut in any
case let it be' in thorough,repair . . Let
be no loose shingles or dangling
clapboards or gates banging by a bro
kim hinge. • These hints 'favor thrift
as well as taste. Let the house be
sufficiently shaded. This will pay in
comfort, wear of furniture and lack of
flies. If you cannot • afford green
blinds; you can always afford a green
tree or two, that costs nothing but la
bor and patience, and will shelter you
from the sun in summer aml.the wind
in winter.

various attempts to .secure the repre

and so constructed that on arat entering
and nibbling •at the bait, the trap
would spring and cage the intruder.
Our neighbor when lie went to examine
hiS trap always found it sprung bnt no
rat, and what was the strangest of all;
the bait was gone. So he resolved to
watch the trap. His patience, was
Presently 'rewarded by beholding a
half doyen rats making their appear
ance, and at their head one who appear
ed to be a leader. This rat advanced
slowly and cautiously towards the
trap, and when the others would make
a move as if intending to rash at the
bait, the old fellow would wag his
tail and they would fall behind • him.
After viewing the trap closely;•• the
old fellow approached the back, part

put a paw through (motor the openings
between the wires, and taking the bit
off, made good his retreat with his
booty.
