Our brigade was reyiewed on Sunday by

I him three. cheers which seemed to gratify

The citizens here, union-loving and rebel

both prostrated by severe rheumatic affec

Since writing the above we have had some
stirring, movements. On Monday night
about midnight, General iyynkoop-recoived I
order from Gen. Patterson to raarch imme
diately with his brigade to Williamsport.—
Rumors of war and battle soon filled the
camp, and everything was astir. We were
soon ready and in lino when we took up our
march. We reached Williamsport at 6
o'clock Tuesday eorning in goal condition
and high, spirits, expecting to cror i u the Lo
tomac into Virginia at once. Other brigades
arriving soon after filled the village and
neighborhood with troops. At 9 A. M.,
full 15,909 man were assembled on tho bank
of the river, under command of General
Cadwallader. Later in the day General
PAttersop arrived and assumed the com
mand. Calers were than issued Icy the dif
fered brig,ades to retraco their stops and re
occupying tl;eir resp,ective camps, so recent..
ly deserted. We reached our camp at about
11 u'eluck last night, having marched about
twenty miles. We do not complain of the
march, but did expect to have a fight fur
our trouble. The Second Regiment was di
vided, one battalion of five companies, F in
cluded, being under Lieut. Cul. Welsh.
We left our camp, during our brief eh-
Bence, with tents standing, under eommand
of Major Given: of the Second. assisted by
Quartermaster Gault. of F, and the invalids.
To-day all is quiet., the boys resting after
their tramp.
On Monday the messenger of the Adams

DEAR Ser:—BeWd the Rangers fairly
abroa . .d. Here we are at Bedford, after a
severe rideandavery deyil of a =rah (for
green hands) on Saturday and Sunday.—
On FriZ4y, at 2 P. 11., we received orders
to prepare to eouip, and to march at
o'clock the same evening You arc aware
that we lost our Captain by promotion to
the Lieutenant Culoneley of the regiment.—
On receipt of orders we immediately held an
election and Lieut. Collins was chosen Car
tain, Lieut. IVrigirt advanced to the First
Lieutenancy, and Sergeant Evans chosen
Second Lieutenant. The Sergeants and
Corporals were respectively promoted and
Henry Mullen appointed Fourth Corporal.
You must wait until next week for a correct
list of Regimental and Company officers.—
rF;urs is, however, the Sec n lIEGIV!ENT

But to take leave of our snug quarters in
Camp Curtin! We got off about 3 o'clock
Saturday morning, rind (laic:Ned along the
Pcun'a. Railroad, arriving nt 'Huntingdon
at IP. M., all safe. Unfortunately one of
the brakesmen of the train was killed at
Lewistown, • by striking a telegraph pule.—'
At Huntingdon we wer:3 hospitably received
by the citizens who most litierally supplied
as with provender and flowers. 4hout Oris
point your correspondent began to be at
home. At 2:30 P. M., we left Huntingdon '
over the Broad Top Rail Road, every part
of which (in its ungraded condition,) was I
old stamping ground to you, old Spy, and
the subscriber. The familiar localities loom
e3 up' as we whizzed along, reminding me of
a thousand engineering scenes and incidents
—Len Weaver's apple jack: Mike Stone's
fried "middlings" apple-butter and, huge
Slices of bread (pod bread, mind you); Bill
Fisher's maple molasses and neat (l) chil

' handsome daughter, and John Cypher's lion- ,
' est face and friendly grip.—But I must not
got on old times, or I shall forget that "Juhn

a company of "Rangers" was drawn up by
the roadside with any amount of grub; bat
etiving 'to a stiff grade ahCad we were reluc

tbrough the otioos with cur ever ready
jaws. At Stonerstown We again baited,
being amply supplied with eviwything we
needed. The road terminating, at Hopewell
there too terminated oar day's
.tourney, to
our no small satisfaction. Here wo "camped
out" all night, fortifyinz ourselves with a
"cold check" consisting of cast iron pies
and cold boiled shoulder—State rations
[ln the course of this brief correspondence

It seems unavoidable, as the general flow of

At 1 P. M., We again' took up the march
fur Bedford, where ke arrived at about'4
&clock, foot-sore but cheerful. Same of the
boys suffered considerably from chafed feet,
.bat none gave out until we had pushed on
through town (where the inhabitants greet
ed us" mostpritkusiastically and had made
ample preparation for our refreshment,) to
our camp ground, some three miles bayond,
just above the Springs. This was the last
feather's weight that broko the backs of
some of the lads. They straggled a little,
but soon came in. Company K stood the
r.a . Arch on the whole remarkably well. It
wa,s n sight to behold the two Lieutenants
strapped 'each to an old rusty U. S. sabre,
stepping galliaatly out. (Where were you,
my lloyer?).
Cooked provisions again) were sent out
from town n o t once, by wagon loads and we
-fared sumptuously. We breakfasted on the
fragments this morning. Thus far we have
had occasion to resort to our rations but

Lost night after the boys bad taken to
their 4lonkets, a heavy shower carne on
and they had to take it, the thicket proving
but poor shelter. Some of them invaded the
officers' hut, and rather overflowed that sa•
loon for a time.
The boys hare named our present camp
ing ground "Camp 'Welcome," and a very
appropriate title it is. Our destination is
unknown to us. I rather suspect we shall
regularly encamp here, however, until order
ed forward for tl.e sacred soil. All well in

C tptain; Wright, First Lieutenant; Evans.
Second Lieutenant; non-commissioned offi

Fourth Corpqral, Summers, private.
All of Friday night Came Curtin was the
scene of a good deal of excitement, cense
poet upon the eve of a sudden departu-e
therefrom. All of Friday night was con-
Sined in distributing guns, knapsacks,
caps, drawers, shoes and stockings, and the
packing up of baggage, &e. We were bud
-
died into the cars at daylight, and were
soon on eur way, per P. R. It. Our destin
ation
was some point in Virginia south of
Comb erland, route per P. R. R. to Hun -
ingdon, Broad Top :wad to end thereof,
thence by foot, &c. The ride to Hunting
don was pleasant. The ladies of that place
provided es with provisions, being near the
rear of the train we fared not so well as
those in advance. At several points along
the Broad Top It tilroad, the ladies also
were liberal in supplying us with edibles.
We camped on Saturday night in a cove
surrounded by mountains. The boys all slept
en the grass. At daylight on Sunday morn
ing we were ordered to march. We filet
over hills end through narrow val:eys, twelve
miles w;iicit brought us to Bloody Run, a
village of three at: four hundred inhnbi
tants, situate on the turnpike leading to
Pittsburg. The ladies had provided us all
with a bounteous supply of provisions,—
Boards bad been hastily thrown up, along
the street and in some of th,e yards, upon
which the provisions were placed. The
boys of course eat heartily, after which they
gave three hearty cheers for the ladies of
of Bloody Run. We started from there at
o'clock P. M., and traveled over one of
the most dusty roads I ever saw, and ar•
'rived 'at Camp McCall, three miles south
of Bedford, * at 5 o'clock P. M., having trav
eled twenty-sii miles since corning. The
sun being exceedingly warm and roads very
dusty, the men suffhred severely; Company
K hail but two or three who cared; some
other Companies lost nearly half of their
men. We left Sergeant Kershner at Canty
Curtin very sick; if he should get better he
will follow us. Private Faulkner has also
been sick but is now bottei. The boys
slept on the ground last night. It rained
hard. You can easily imagine how uncom
fortably they slept, after their fatiguing
march. The monotony of the march was
enlivened by singing hymns, by the whole
regiment. It sounded grand whilst march
ng amongst the hills. The regiment and
companies in front of us along the march,
I managed to utalteall thestreams and springs
unfit for use, hence we suffered more than
we otherwise would had we had fresh water.
Along the route trom Hopeweil to Bloody
.
Run we saw a number or la its, &c., some
with flags, others with provisions, !tr.., where
they came from we could not tell, far no
habitations were visible. Four miles north
of Bloody Run, Mrs. Keating. formerly of

The News
Reliable intelligence has been received
from Martinsburg of the destruction by the
Secession troops of forty-eight : locomotives,
and a number of gondola cars and coal hop
pers, the property of thelialtimore and Ohio
Railroad. This" work was accomplished
on Sunday, and when it was well known
by them that the Company has still nearly
two hundred locomotives in its service, it
cannot but be regarded as otherwise than
an act of wanton vandalism, without the ex
cuse of "military necessity." The troops at
Martinsburg and in the vicinity are estima
ted at about five thousand five hundred.—
The shops of the Company at Martinsburg
have so far been spared, being used as bar
racks for the 'troops.
A building at Wyandotte, Kansas, in
which a company of soldiers were drilling,
fell on Saturday, killing a number of the
soldiers and injuring others.
In the last two letters from INIr. Russell to
the Times, received by the steamer Braaten,
he describes his yisit to the camp and de
fences of the Confederates Vensacula, and
afterward to Fort Bickons. Ile gives a full
nod interesting description of both these lo
calities. To his practised eye the batteries
of the Confederates aeared defective and
ill-constructed, whilst the number and cali
bre of the guns they have mounted is much
less formidable than has been represented.
Ile represents Fort Pickens in fine condition,
well prepared, and expresses the opinion
that at that time the Confederates were not
in a condition to Assail it with any chance
cf success.
No Tonvementi of importance arc reported
from 'Washington beyond the arrival of the
troops and the movement of regiments on to
the Virginia side. Thg- Confederates are re
porter; to he fortifying Fair-fax Court House
and obstructing the roads thereto by felling
trees across them. Some excitement had
been occasioned by the cutting of the tele
graph cable between two of the camps, but
it was discovered to have been done by the
Captain of a newly arrived company, who
entertained t 4.3 suspicion that it was a "de
vice of the enemy." From tl,e upper Poto
mac we have nothing further than that Co
lonel Stone's column and Up advance of
General Patterson's army had formed a
junction near the Monocaey. The whole
line of the Potomac is tau.} under the sur
veillance of the Federal troops.
A special despatch to the Now Orleans
Picayune from Richmond, and coming this
way via Louisville, states that the Virginia
Convention 'tad proposed an amendment to
the Constitution of ;he Qonfederated States
giving Virginia the right to secede in Certain
contingencies. We supposed thr,,t the right
of secession in all or any contingency was
the necessary result of a confederacy found
ed upon the exercise of that very right.
The Maryland Legislature adjourned on
Tuesday to re-assemble again on the 30th of
July. A proposition from the Senate to

slaves escaping from their masters and seek
ing refuge in the Federal camps.
The steamship Europa, from Liverpool via
Queenstown, with dates to the 17th instant,
arrived at Halifax on Tuesday. The news
is T;ot important. The London Times, re-
Iferring to American affairs, says that Great
Britain, will do liar duty and the Federal
ists most do theirs, knowing that Givnt.Bri
tain could not do them a greater injury than
by taking their part. Sixteen British gun
boats are t,o he sent to the North American
coast. France is shoat to rccc,gnize the
kingdom of Italy.
The Great Eastern was expected to leave
Liverpool in about a fortnight, with three
regiments of infantry, a field battery of ar
tillery, and a number of horses—destination
Quebec. This reinforcement of the troops
stationed in Canada provoked much com
ment in England, and many characterized
the proceedings as qn insult to the United
States. The annual meeting of thc i • Cotton
Supply Association bad been held at Man
chester, at which somewhat discouraging re
ports were made as to the results of exer
tions to procure a supply independent of
Amerlpa : Increased efforts in India and
Westerri . Africa were urged. The news of
the - settlement of the Syrian lineation is con
finned. A Christian Governor is to rule

bnnkc were attached, and furniture, books
and other property destroyed. The riot was

From Fortress Blonroe there is nothing
but the usual camp news, The gun boat
Monticello, whilst on a reconnoissance up
the Rappahannock river, landed a small
party Who were fired upon by a company of
Confederates. The party succeeded in get
ting off to the boat, With one man mortally
wounded and several others Less seriously
injured. The Monticello opened with her
