The pole, of mast shape, with a step, the con

71bIT TO C4IIP CURTIN.---Qll Wednes
day we made a trip to narrisburg for the
purpose of visitlit Camp Cgrtin. The
camp oecupies the fair ground of the WU
phiti County Agriegltural Society, about one
mile from Ifarrisburg. We could form no
estimate of the number of volunteers in
camp, as they were seattaared over the en
closure, drilling in squads and companies,
many lounging inside of the tents. The
wen were most of them splendid looking
fellows, well built and hardy. Many of
them canto from the interior counties and
looke I ai though S mthern powder and
Southern steel will have but sliglic terror
for them when armed to give as good as is
sent them. There wore few uniforms, un
less we except flannel shirts and blankets.
Some co:tumulus were uniformed us far as
shirts, trousers and caps. Oar own boys
had been started into active service. In
their absence our iaterest lay principally in
the company sent front our neighboring bo
rough, Marietta. We found ate company
as sturdy a set of boys as ever marched to
tap of drum, drawn op and being addressed
by their captain, Just as we arrived an Sid
delivered the comm:ssions of the °Ulcers:
Capt. Juhn A. Congdon, First Lieutenant
Wiliam 11, Sawyer, and Seco n d Lieutenant
Scutt Patterson. Ilis commission was read
aloud by each officer when received, and
after a short address from eaptani Congdon
the company was marched to quarters.—
This company has sharel the unmerited
f',o c , of Gar "Shawnee quarth"—it has met
with neglect at the ltamd. 1:f the prois. It

tters are greatly indebted to the liberality of
(feu. W. Mehaffey, E•q., for 111.1T13, comforts
of their outfit. We nutieed as we returnel
through Marietta a handsome national dog,

the rebel Virginians, arrived here fr mt
Fairfax county. They represent tho•seces•

Sri 13CSFE rtitn.4.—The name adopted
by Capt. Welsh's company is "Shawnee
Guards," a local and familiar title. We
give elsewhere a letter from our cot respon

received direct communication later than
Monday afternoon. We may ye.: receive in
tone for publication later news, and some
statistical information concerning the com
pany which we have asked of Capt. Welsh.
, If not in time, it may be as well to state that
on Tuesday the Brigade to which our com
pany is attached was brought hack to York.
from Camp, Carroll, near C rekeysville
and quer tered in the fair ground of the York
County et 7 grice,ltural Society, where the
men have comparatively comfortable quar
ters in the stalls. Q 3 Monday night our
boys had a prospect of a brush. A com
pany was called fur to march a mile and a
half from the camp, up the railroa,:, to de.
rend a bridge reported as threatened by the

Tnrrr.—On Thursday about 8 o'clock a
woman who had tried several doors in the
neighborhood without finding them open, en
tered the dwelling of Mrs. Cyrus H. Jacobs,
in SeEond street, unobserved. She was walk
ing out vviten discovered, After her depar
ture it was found that she had stolen a valu
able gold watch. The police was put on her
track, but only succeeded in 'earning that she
had been seen in Marietta. The alarm was
given there,.however, and the woman was ar
rested there the same evening. She was
searched, but the watch-was not' discovered.
The Marietta constable secured her in his own
dwelling, anti during the night she endeavored
to escape, jumping from the second story um
dow. The officer recaptured her, and on
Friday morning brought her to Columbia,
where she was fully identified. She acknow
ledged the theft but assumed a crazy appear
ance—probably a t , Jodge." She said she had
hidden ,the watch and offered to take the
officer to the place of secretion. She led them
a wild goose chase through the grave yards,
but could not point oast the assumed place of
concealment. She was taken before Justice
Hunter who was too old a band to be taken
in. He had her thoroughly searched, when
the watch was found artfully stowed away
about her person. She had in a bag a couple
pairs of new shoes, and a new pair of rubber
shoes. She gave her name as Sarah Parker.
Jnstice Hunter committed her for trial and she
went (lOW I).

The meeting adjourned. The company
met on Friday eveaing at the Town Hull fur
drill.
The number of citizens enrolled in the
"Home Guard" is eighty-one, and the list
will be hugely increased. When the com
pany is fully or,ginized we will publish the
muster roll.
Besides those there aro seventeen names
subscribed to the Dragoon roll. This com
pany will tkubtless contain sufficient re
cruits to render it an efficient body of cav
alry. It will act in conjunction with the
"Home 1.3 card" as a local guard and patrol.
In a.lditi.n to these companies another is
being formed of the younger men of the
the b .rough 4 who have not yet enlisted.—
The company will be like the others fur
home protection, or to answer a call for ser
vice under the Government.
The military o;grtnization of our citizens
during the pr;isen; alarmin4 crisis is not
only a prudential but a necessary measure.
We arc suffleicntly near Ste border to be
exposed to peril even should the tide ef war
turn southward, as wo sincerely hope it may.
Marauding guerilla bands will doubtless be
abroad, and more especially when our bor
ders are left unguarded by the advance in
tn theenemy's country of cur regular force?,
,vi:: .72 anu
at the mercy of southern banditti- We have
seen that in times of peace Northers prop
erty and Northern life is held-lightly by the
thieving chivalry. Will open hostility be
tween the North and South render them
more respectful of either? No! We must
be ready to defend nursely,es; if assailed,
and so organized that the entire male pop
ulation shall he available au the first alarm.
Our "Home Guard" will prove a useful in
stitution.
TUE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT EN COLUMMIA.
—Small as has been our credit--for by sonic
mischance (although the "Shawnee Q cards"
was the first Lancaster county company ac
cepted by the Governor and the first from
the county on the ground in Harrisburg)
the arrival of our company was unnoticed
in most of the telegraphic despatches to the
city papers—our boys are, nevertheless, too
earnest in the good cause to hold back be
cause of a little apparent lack of apprecia
tion of Culumia'a prompt action on the
part of the press. Our paper of last Saturday
contained a call for a riveting in Odd Fel
lows' Hall in the evening for the purpose of
forming a "Hume Guard." Oa the assemb
ling of the people it was found that Col.
Fisher had returned from Harrisburg for
the purpose of forming. immediately a sec
ond company, w:th the hope of being in
time to find a place in the present Pennsyl
vermin contingent. The firmation of the
"Home Guard" was therefore deferred for
the evening. With but few preliminary
words a roll, which had been opened during
the afternoon anti which contained a number
of signatures, was produced, and in a few
minutes was run up to over fifty names.
Before the dispersal of the meeting the list
numbered about sixty. Next day being
Sunday we supposed volunteering would
cease, but on stopping nt Col. Fisher's
office we found the good work prog, , e,sing,
and the coin pany nearly, if not quite, made
' up. Ily Monday at noon it was overflow
ing, runny being refused. On Monday eve
ning the company organized by the election
of .T. W. Fisher Captain, Argot D. Collins
First Lieutenant, and •J. C. lloyer, Second
Lieutenant. The ranks were afterward
thinned, the steadiest and most able-bodied
men being retained. A sufficient surplus
will be kept to make up fur any possible re
jection, when mustered into the service.
The - company has taken the name of the
"Cookmnn Rangers," in honor of Rev.
Alfred CJektuan, who so eloquently aroused
the enthusiasm of the people at cur first
meeting last week. They are as fine a
body of young men as any town in the state
can turn out, and Culumbia may be proud of
them. They will give a good account of
themselves. The officers are gentlemen of
energy and character. The Lieutenents
have some experience in drill, rind have
been putting the boys through, night and
day. The company is already attaining
consinerable proficiency in marching and
evolution. During rho latter part of the
week a number of old State muskets have
been procured and the men are exeec.s:og
in the musket drill. Their training here
will be found advantageous when they are
ordered to the field. There being at pres
ent a large excess of applications over the
contingent called for by Government, our
second company has not been accepted. It
will be among the first, however, at:wonted
on the new levy, certainly soon to be made
to fill the contingents of the Border Slave
States, refused by their Governors. We
give below tire entire list of volunteers for
Capt. Fisher's company, accepted and re
jected, numbering one hundred and one

For the Columbia Spy
Onr Army Correspondence.
CAI( p NEAR ASII LANA, MARYLAND,
April 22, 1861.
DEAR SPY:—In compliance with your re
quest that the readers of the Spy should be
kept advised of the movements of our com
pany., I give you hastily such information
as the bustle of the past three busy and ex
citing days permits. We arrived at Harris
burg on Friday afternoon, and after dining
at one of the hotels, marched to Camp Cur
tin, abut one mile from the city. Here
we lea - mined until evening. There being
no quarters prepared we returned to liar ,
risburg to sleep, and were' again marched
to camp next awning. On Saturday we
peocured our supplies—army, munitions,
Lc.—and such comforts (!) as the State had
in readiness for her soldiers, consisting pi In
cipally of a blanket and a tin cup to each
man—no uniforms. At half-past seven
o'clues. on Saturday evening we received o
tiers to prepare for immediate march. The
camp was instantly in a tumult of prepara
tion. After various delays, towards moan.;
ing we were packed into•lire-stock cars (1
the P. It. R. and shipped southward over
the Northern Central. Passed York at sun
rise Sunday morning, and at eleven o'clock
reached Ashland, a station near Cockeys
ville, in Maryland, some sixteen miles front
Baltimore. edoxled, two companies, (our
own included) were detailed to guard the
bridges and line of the Northern Central
Hai!wily, whilst, as we supposed, the re
mainder of the Brigade was to push forward
for Baltimore. Oar captain was determined.
that we should have a hand is all the work
to be done, so interceded, and had the corn,
pany excused from guard duty. We were
ordered into our position in the line and the
brigade was marched about one mile from
the railroad, where we took up an elevated
position and encamped. Up to this time NW
were equally ignorant of our destination
and our strength. Dismissed from ranks
we scouted through the camp for informa
tion. We ascertained. that we formed part
of the First Brigade Pennsylvania Volun,
Leers, Brigadier General Wynkoop com
manding, composed of the First, Second and
Third Regiments. The First' and Third
have each ten companies, seventy-seven men
rank and file each company. The Second,
in which we are, consists of but eight com
panies. Our Regimental O:ficers are Cul.
Stambaugh, of Chambersburg, Lieut. Cal.
Win. 11. Irwin, of Lewistown, Major James
Given, of West Chester, Adjutant Isaac S. •
IVaterbury, (the accomplished, so well
known on the old State road,) of Harris,
burg. The companies composing the Regi
ment are Capt. Welsh's, (our own,) Colum
bia, Capt. Mitchell's, Bellefonte, Capt. El
den's, Chambersburg, Capt. Siper's, Harris
burg, Capt. Given's, West Chester, and three
others which I cannot just now recall.
During Sunday afternoon our camp was
filled with rumors that we were to march
through Baltimore at a Yeas de charge; that
we were to be employed in assisting the po
lice of that city in keeping down the seces
sionists, &c. Later rumors had it that the
rebels Lad 10,000 men under arms, and
were organizing fur an attack on us during
the night. As the latter report gained
belief our officers felt the necessity of pre
paratien, and we were consequently, put
throu;;lii a pretty lively drill until night,
when we were ordered to bivouac with our
arms ready fur immediate service. The
majority of the men were compelled to lie
on the bare ground. A squad of "ours"
made a charge on a straw stack .and suc
ceeded in capturing and bringing in suffi
cient bedding to "hitter down" the whole
company. With mar blankets around us
and the IfeaTans fur our canopy we lay
down to pass oar first night iq camp in t%e
open air. Prowling bands of secession
"Plugs" from Baltimore kept the camp in
an uproar all night. Captain Welsh being
an old eampap,ner compelled us to lie still
! and keep cool, coaseeucntly ne passed a not
! unpleasant night, must of us sleeping sound-
