FRIEND GLOBE :—This evening there

and that is always a welcome visitor
in a Camp, and after reading my cor

other articles, it I:lmitable(' one urging
its iendere to send their frfonds in the

were thousands of what he oalla Dem

from the mail and destroyed, and say
ing that many could' not vote on ac
count of having no tickets. In fact,
iiionr Regiment it was the other way;
'there was an overplus of "Cop" tick
ets and :a deficiency of Union tickets,
.but-nothing-daunted, we sat down and
wrote our own tickets, which answer

tro creeks have - passed since
the work began, and still it progresses
rapidly. During that time we have
had- a number of skirmishes and en
gagements. with the ." Jennie's," a
brief 'account of which L bog leave to
au:bruit, through the columns of the
GLona, to the public. I wish also to
correct some errors which have been
'WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and? PropriOtor
VOL, XX,
made in accounts given of - the Railroad
disasbili near this' place. • •
In tbe expedition, no impediment
checked our advance Until we passed
Salem, when Moseby with a consider
able
. force of cavalry dashed upon a
battalion of infantry. left to guard
said. place;. and while inflicting some
injury, I am proud to say, he received at
least as much, in return. It was in this
skirmish that Lieutenant Hudson of
Johnstown, Pa., was wounded in the
thigh, and his brother in the shoulder,
the latter of these was shot after surf
rendering—an act common among
guerrillas. poiwal robs were captur
ed and brought into our. lines,who
said that they were Mosoby's teen--
drilled, but not receiving - any pay, and
left at leomejiiiibject at any time to
the Old,Fellow'S call. On the evening,
of the same day, another skirmish
took place at Rectortown; but with
put injury' to our forces: On the day.
following, the
. onemy opened Upon us
their. artillery ; and, although 'we had
none with which'to reply, yet the con
struction train, the object of their fire,'
wae bravely defended and our position
held.• The enemy having succeeded in
damaging the - road in our rear, supply
trains'eould not reach 'us;consequentlY
we wore obliged to return to White
Plains in order to repair the road.
Shells` were thrown at the train all the
way fromlleetortown to -Salere - a - dIV
Once of four miles. Hero we found
the ;:track, in front of a: commanding
hill,' tern up a considerable distance:;:
and the train would doubtless have
been knocked' to plebes, .41, captured,
knot been for the gallantry of
some five companies of the 202 d liegt.;
Pa. Vol., who, under the command of
Lieut. Col. Maus, pdssessed and hold
the aforesaid'
.heights,. and not only
turned the fire, but brushed the robs
handsomely. The track was repaired,
and the day following, .the train ad
vanced. and has been advancing ever
since.
Guarding a Railroad in the midst of
guerrillas, is, to some degree, a scaly
business; I yrieerrillits,'' but thci
term' is too mild for the vandals that
infest these wilds. -No epithet is to
strong to express their true character.
They never attempt to•fight a regular
battle, but prowl around like beasts of
prey and in an unguarded moment
dash upon their victim.
In the Railroad disaster near this
place, of which you have already re
c.eived an account, they had attached
a wire to a rail, and just as the train
approached, the rail was drawn off
and the train fired on simultaneously.
Col. Albright of-the -202,nd Rog't., Pa'.
Vol., on hearing of
,the disaster, rode
immediately and without an escort to
the scene, and ordered all-the houses
and barns within one mile, of the place
to be-laid in Ashes. In a short time
the wild flames could be soon in dif
ferent directions-lashing the very sky,
as if calling for Vengeance upon the
perpetrators of such a vile deed. Let
rebel citizens in this section , receive
more such treatment and we will have
letis trouble with them and their guer
rilla bands. 'lt is useleis to ho mild
and humane with fiends; "We must
fight the Indians in their own way."
Several . cavalry skirmishes .. have
recently- taken place, in one of which
Ifoseby's horse -was shot from nnder
him. A squad'of more than one hun
dred were making a dash, the other
day,upon the trains lying at this place.
When first discovered, Col. - Albright
With ten men, before "any more 6ould
come to his assistance, dashed upon
them and put them to flight.
The Colonel gives tho rebs no quar
ters. I submit a copy of a letter
which he sent in reply to a rebel citi
zon asking protection for his property,
which will enable you to form some
idea of .the nerve of our gallant Col
onel, who commands all the forces on
this road from Gainesville to Rector
town.
The trains are now running from
- Alexabdria' to some six or eight miles
beyond Piedmont.

hour has passed, to every man who
shall scout the proffered amnesty of a
great and powerful nation, speaking in
love, in 'charity, in kindness, iri hope
of peace and quiet forever to its rebel
lious sons, I say then let us meet him
or them with sharp,quiek decisive war,
which shall bring the rebellion to an
end forever by the extinguishment of
such men, wherever they may 'be
found. (Applause.) How is that to
be done? Blood and treasure: has
boon poured out without stint or
measure, until•taking advantage of the
supposed depletion of treasure, bad
man have banded together by •specu
lating in gold, which ought trearei
circulating medium, have raised upon
the price of - coals Upon every poor
man's hearth, and the price of bread
upon every poor man's table. Let the
government take some measure to stop
this unholy traffic, and let it be under
stood that the policy of the
no will be hereafter to pay no more
bounties for the recruitment of soldiers
frOm the taxes of the- loyal North ;
but, taking counsel from the Roman
method of carrying on too .war,, 19 Bay
to our young men, "Look to the fair
fields of the sunny. south ; they have
refused our amnesty and offers ,of
peace ; they have turned away the day ,
of grace. Go down there in arms in
support of the Government, extinguish
the rebellion, and you shall briVe What
you conquer, in a fair division of lands
to each .man to pay for his military
service. We will open new land offi
ces wherever our armies march, divid
ing the lands of the rebellious States
'among' our soldiers,- to be theirS and
their heirs forever." (Applause.) A
harsh measure, it may be said. But
is it not quite as just as to tax' Our
selves, and thus raise the priec:of• the
necessaries of life •for the purpose of
giving bounty to and supporting the
soldier in fighting those rebellious
men whom we have three • times
over solemnly called to come and
enjoy with us - the blessings of our
liberties and befriends; saying in 1882,
come in June; in 1863,'' come in De-
comber; in 1864, come by the Bth; of
January, 1865. •When th e clock, strikes
the last knell. of that parting: day,
then all hope to those wb,o' have not
made progress to return should be cut
off forever and ever. No longer should
they be permitted to live on the land,*
or even within the boundaries'of the,
United States. Let thein go to-Mexi

that I care not to name, because • I
know no land bad enough to 'be cursed,
with their presence, but never to live
