Fisher then addressed the !fleeting, detailing the life at Camp Curtin, described situation of Ills company there—the terms on which they were received, their atanding amongst their fellow soldiers, &e.,—giving altogether a most encouraging account of our boys. In one respect, however, they appeared to a disadvantage beside many of the companies on the ground. Although none of the companies were then sworn in and armed, yet mast approached uniformity in their dress—at least in the possession of outer flannel shirts of uniform color. Our boys arc without this distinguishing gar ment—tin important comfort at the same time, to the volunteer—and consequently ha O'er in the comparism with the red-shirt, Woe-shirt, or gray-shirt corps from other places. :The Captain knew that this matter had only to be laid hellfire the citizens of Columbia to procure the needed clothing.— Captain Fisher spoke in the highest terms of . the Rangers.

Heretofore there has not been quite as much order shown in the administration. of the several departments in Camp Curtin, as there should have been. lam glad to say. however, that under the present direction of; Col. Seiler, order is being brought out of disorder, and the camp is fast assuming that method which should be present at all times in the several departments in a well regu. lated camp. 011 Tuesd.,y night the Colonel did not sleep. Ile waft. in and about the camp to see that the guards performed their duty faithfully; the result is, that some forty persons absent without leave, are now in the Guard House. Ile is certainly the right man fur the right place. This, Wednesday, at noon. the Cookman Ringers were the re cipients of a very large supply of delicacies, in the shape of elegant pies and cakes, the generous gift of Mrs. Samuel D. Ingrain and the Misses Aldrick, of Harrisburg. At a meeting of the company, of which Captain I Fisher Was chairman, resolutions were I passed expressive of the sense thereof. I can tell those ladies, (God bless them) that no pen can describe and no tongue convey to them, truly the gratitude of our boys—it needed but a sight of them when eating said pies and cakes to convince them of that fact Gov. Curtin came in to camp yesterday, having understood that some dissatisfaction existed amongst the men, owing to a misap• prehension with reAaril to the late law en acted by the Legislature. lie came to disa buse their minds of any false impressions they might have in relation thereto. They were fully satistie I with what he said., The immediate future is. I am convinced, preg nant with events, in w hich the Cookman Rangers will perform an active part. Those who withdrew from the Rangers so hastily, will perhaps live to regret their action. Maj. McCoy is an experienced, and makes a very efficient officer, lie Was fully tested on Monday morning, by a company from the south-eastern portion of She State, (a mem , her of which he placed in the guard house,) and showed himself to he a man of nerve. Lieut. Collins offered the services of our company to quell any disturbance that might ensue. We had the smiles of our friends, Dr. ItAver, C.l.s Herr and Omen, to-day. Call a4ain and as often as Tuissible. The com pany are indebte 1 to the Dr. for n large number of pin cushions, for which he has the thanks of the company, they were much needed, and will lie fully appreciated by the • boys. The services of ono company tendered by Capt. Fisher to quell any disturbance which might ensue in Camp Curtin, was accepted last evening by Major McCoy and Adjutant , Matthews, who from indications yesterday had reason to believe. there would be an el fort sna.le to disturb the good order of the camp. Sergeants Evans, Bennet and Kash ner, Corporal Fullerton and eighteen pri vates, were marehod under command of Lieut, Collins to bead quarters, where the arms of gnarl were duly inspected and leaded with ball ,artridge. They returned to quarters with the injunction that they should sleep on their arms, ready at a mo.- ment's warning to march at the proper call. At I.' o'clock A. M., the alarm was given when the b mya formed into line and marched at a full run to the point of danger, which they reached in less than five minutes from the time the alarm was given. A number of volunteers who managed to obtain liquor, in mil out of camp, were arrested and placed in the guard house, the roof of which they =angel to force off. The regular guard j being threatened from within and •Fithout, they were called as above. It looked at one time as if there would be a skirmish, which I doubt not was averted unix by ,the deter misted and soldier-like course pursued by Major * McCoy and Adjutant Matthews, as ; sisted by the Rangers aforesaid. This morning the guard reported at head quarters, where Adjutant Matthews in a neat and pertinent address, commended them fur their soldier-like appearance, and the alacrity with which they responded i when called. Capt. Fisher on behalf or the Rangers replied briefly in an appropriate manner, pledging_bilv.boss.fer any service, however great the danger might be.

Once this is graded, and the several bridges built in this neighborhood, the work all along from Che-tnut to Litiz is light, and will re quire but a short time to get ready fur the rail.. we expect to hear the "iron horse" snorting in this neighborhood before the end of the year.—girtabeim Sentinel. ROURING ev EIIITOR.—A rual editor a-5' lately rolahod while traveling. How much the thief made by the operation may be dis covered by the indignant epistle he imme diately sent to his victim, returning the pocket bock: "You mi,crable cuss, here's your pocket book. I don't keep no skit., For a man dressed as well as you was to go round with a wallet with ntthin in it but u lot of news_ paper scraps, a pair of wooden combs, two newspaper stamps, and a pass frcm a rail road director, is a contemptible imposition on the public. A' I hear you are an editm. I return your trash. I never rob only gentle- men." IM-The Boston Traveler recites the fol lowing story, told by one of the New York Seventh Regiment: "While in Maryland I wanderel off one day and eatne to a farm-house, where I saw a party of Ilin,de I,land boy:, talking . . with IL w,onar. who was greatly frightened.— They tried in vain t, quiet her apprehen sions. They asked fur fund, and she cried. 'O. take all I have, take everything but spare m:,- sick husband.' 'o,' said one of the men, 'we ain't going to hurt you; we want something to eat.' But the woman persist ed in being frightened in spite of all effhrts to reassure her, and hurried whatever food she lrid on the table. When, however, she saw this company stand about the table with bared heads, and a tall gaunt man t a'so his hand and invoke God's blessing on - the bounties spread before them, the poor wo man broko down with a fit of sobbing and crying. She had no longer any fears, but bade them wait, and in a few moments had hot coffee in abundance. She then emptied their canteens of the muddy water they con tained and filled them with coffee. Her as tonishment increased when they insisted upon paying her."
