' Tuzwa.r, Sept- 16 . 1862'
Thus Sry:—The hurley-burley of last
week and the uncertainty of the inoseaaents'
of our companies, prevented a fitting. adieu
(temporary, ,I .hope) to the readere .of the
Spy. I will endeavor to keep up the edi
torial intercourse, however, through:corres
pondence. It will not be news fur those at
home to relate our movements, but for the
sake of record I will say that she four com- 1
patsies of Captains Rausho, Eevlia„ Stern
and Case, the latter under Lieut. Denney,
left Columbia on Saturday about moos),
special train, for Harrisburg, aecordiug to
the orders from Gov. Curtis. We at:rivet!
safely ,at Uarrisburg, and marched to the
Capital, creating no little remark upon the
extraordinary turn out frosts .Columbia, and
the gne appearance of the men. We were
quartered Al the Capital grounds and in
spected ky the Adjutant General, after
which we marched to the Arsenal where we
received our knapsacks and eanteens. We
spent the afternoon busily making pur
chases and fitting ourselves out as well as
possible its Uareisburg. We expected to
spend the night ue the ground, hut after
night full, through the exertion of John F.
Uoustoo, Esq , Cept. It:Limbo's company wrs
quartered, with the company of Captain
Uughes,.of Parkesburg, in the Representa
tive.Chamber,while the remaining companies
received tents and pitched them in the
grauude. Capt. Ramho's company fern bib
ed details of men, relieved every two hours
through afternoon and night, for guarding
the gate of the grounds. Next morning
they were relieved by Capt. Devlio's com
pany. The night in the [louse of Repre.
sentatives was rather a comfortless one. I
made my bed on the floor of the speaker's
stand, and managed to secure a alight sleep,
but noise was the order of the evening, and
sleep was regarded as an extra. Sunday
morning was a season of doubt up to near
10 o'clock, when we received orders to pack
up immediately, to move at 12 o'clock.
Everything was bustle; knapsacks were
packed with tremendous energy and such
grub as was procurable was thrust into the
haversacks. Our company (Capt. }teethe's)
had ju-t received Government haversacks,
which were boxed up and taken in bulk
with other equipments.' We were informed
that we were formed into a regiment. con
sisting of four Columbia companies, one
Lancaster company, one company from
Christiana—making six Lancaster county
companies—oneeompany from Westchester,.
one from Parkesburg„, one from Reading
and one from Pottsville. The suggestion
was made that Lieut. John L. Wright, Co.
K, sth Reserve, detached on recruiting ser
vice at Ilarrisburg, should be invited to
take command of the Regithent. Lieut.
Wright received the sanction of his old
Brigadier, Can. John P. Reynolds. of the
Reserves, who advised him to take the reg
iment, as he could be of service in organi
zing the militia. Cu!. T. A. Scott collet
together the commanders of companies.
when the regiment was formed and they
elected Lieut. Wright to the Culoneley. As
time pressed the election of the remaining
field officers was deferred until the arrival
of the regiment at its destination. The
regiment was temporarily put under com
mand of Capt...Dysart, who marched us to
the Penna. It. It. Round house where we
took the cars fur Chambersburg. After
considerable delay we got started and left
Harrisburg cheered as we passed through
the streets. Before getting fairly en rouge
I would, in the name of our Columbia boys,
thank Mrs. Andrew Baker fur her kindness;
in supplying, them with refreshing hot
coffee, on Monday evening. •
We got off from Ilarifeburg at 3 o'clock,
sufficiently tired th injoy even the limited
comforts of a troop -train. Our route was
through the hedutiful Cumberland Valley,
the land of plenty, which the rebels promise
themselves the pleasure of spoiling and
wasting. Throughout the route wa were
cheered by the people who turned out by
thousands to see us pass. At Mechanics
burg the whole town was on plrade, inclu
ding our old townsman, Jacob S. Dellett.
who was greeted by his hundreds of friends
in the different companies. If the greeting
was strong, the farewell was powerful. The
cries of "Good bye Jake," and the baud
shakings fairly lifted him of his feet. At
Carlisle, too, the people were out, but the
train was stopped beyond the town so th at
we were not quite surrounded—as we were
at Shippensburg. yet one of the crowds that
did follow us, immortalized the town by
throwing a rotten egz, which fell near Capt.
Itamthr's feet. The fellow was fortunately
concealed in the throng. We considered
that a handsome reception. We parsed
through Shippensburg, withosit stopping.
about dusk, ant met with cheers, as every
where. The balance of the ride, after dark,
grew very fatigueing, and a vexatious delay
at Chambersburg completely exhausted our
patience. When we arrived at that place
we found our destination to be camp Mc-
Clure, under command of Cul. Brown, a
couple of miles beyond town. We were
carried part the camp, where were the 145th
Regt. of nine month Penna. Volunteers, of
Erie, and the first Regt. Penna. Militia.
Cu!. ['miry McCormick, of Harrisburg—
the former uniformed and under canvas;
the latter in motley, like ourselves, and
hutted, the shelter consisting of ingenious
constructions of fence rails, boughs, corn
fodder, straw, hay, and what not. After
proceeding down the railroad a couple of
miles the train was stopped and backed to
where we land passed the camp fires of camp
McClure. We scrambled out as we best
could in the dark—tired, dirty and hungry,
and after s stumble through the woods of
a few hundred yards were halted, ordered
to stack arms, and requested to make oar
selves comfortable fur the night. I wonder
what our friends at home would have
thought as they retired that Sunday night
to their comfortable beds, had they seen us
in our bivouac; The boys went in with a
Will i , and io a few, minutes our fires were
lighting up the woods sad we were picking
the softest and most sheltered spots for oar
Eight's rest. The Colonel, Pargeon, (I
omitted to aueutivn that Dr. W. S. McCor
kle was appointed Surgeon ofthe- regiment
before we left: Harrisburg) Lieut. liable.
man and myself beaked together under a
wshideoak, with &bade( seed clover, which
some of our foragiog parties appropriated
from a neighbOriag field., The fun cora
tom:iced when the fires were fairly ablaze,
and the boys seemed to enjoy it amazingly.
It szasoaear midnight before we turned in.
to sfeep-4eochancel It was my first ere
perienee U 3 camping, and I have nothing to
complain of except my own ignorance in
making the best of my opportunities. in
excess of caution I piled on the cover—over ,
coat upon shawl—and was consequently too
warm—otherwise the bed was not. so bad.
The boys hurried out with dawn next morn
ing, fresh and contented. Oar worthy Bur
gess complained a little of the "inefficiency
of State and National Government," in Ise
glecting to provide tents, 40., fur our aceom
modattion; but. it was only a little biilious
attack, speedily relieved by a few of the
Surgeon's Cad - trait. By this time our
haversacks were well emptied, and the boys
complained of a persistent gnawing. The
commissary stoma arrived at last and the
kettles were soon bubbling, filled with boil
ing beef, green corn (private venture) and
bean soup, Meanwhile the organization of
the regiment bad been completed by the
election of Capt. Smith of Pottsville, Lieut.
Colonel, and Lieut. Rupert of Westchester,
Major, There was some difficulty in per
suading Capt. Smith to leave hi's company.
and Its it seemed at one time his decision to
positively declino the position, it was offered
to Lieut, Haldeman, of our company, who
referred the matter to the men, requesting
them to decide whether he should leave
them ar stay by them. They voted unani
mously to retain him in the company, and
he cheerfully complied in acknowledgemen t
of so handsome a compliment. Liaut. D.
Baer, of Lancaster, was appointed Adju
tant. The Quartermaster is still to be up
pointed.
As our biecuac was only temporary we
made no preparationfor making ourselves
comfortable, and about 4 o'clock were form
ed by the Colonel and marched about a mile
and a half to an open field where the boys
soon knocked up a temporary shelter fur
the night. I spent this night in the fence
corner.. Next morning we expected our
camp life to commence in earnest, and it
did commence, for we were turned out fur
company drill of one hour before breakfast,
and promised plenty more airing the day,
but Cul. McCormick, the present command
er of the forces in the neighborhood, arrived
about 8 o'clock and ordered our camp
changed to a wood adjoining the field—
much pleasanter quarters. At this writing
we are busy putting up our huts of rails,
covered with boughs and corn-fodder, and
plentifully bedded with straw. I have
prosily narrated our movements, but under
all circumstances think the letter must be
considered as much as can be expected. it
is almost impossible to fix the attention on
what I am doing so confusing is the noise
and so novel the positiun. I apologize,
however, for my failure to make more Set
of so promising a subject. I will men
tion one little incident that occurred on
Monday. About noon a train from down
the rail road came up to Chambersburg with
some thirty secesh prisoners, captured in
Maryland. It was sum rumored that a
capered rebel train was coming up the dirt
roads, escorted by our cavalry.- "fhe whale
encampment was alive, and lined the road
as s on as the leading wagon appeared.
The wagons stretched in a lung line down
the road—eighty of them--driven mostly by
contrabands. One of Capt. Stern's men
hailed a secesh on one of the teams, and in
reply received a canteen over the eye, in
llicting en ugly cut. This was the first
wound of the campaign.
This morning our companies were placed;
our company receiving the right as Cu. A,
Capt. Devliu'e company is the flag com
pany, C, Capt. Case's company is Cu. I and
Capt. Sterns' is Co. K.
I will send a list of the officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates of Cu. A, if
ready in time. If I can get the rolls of the
I other companies in time I will send them
also. The address of the regiment is Co.
A, C, I or K, 2nd Regt. Penna. Militia,
(Cul. Wright) Camp near Chambersburg.
Franklin Co'y, Pa. I will endeavor to do
better by the readers of the Spy next week,
if lam net over-worked. I learn that a
box of shirts from the Soldiers' Aid Society
has arrived in Chambersburg, but has not
yet reached camp. I may proffer the thanks
of the boys fur the thousand kindnesses
done us by the ladies at home.
MIDDLETOWN, MD., Sept. 16, 1862
To rue EDITOR or TIRE COLUMBIA. St•v:—
Sir:—The battle of Blue Ridge was fought
yesterday. The Union army gained a de
cided victory over the rebels. Many of the
rebels wore slain, and about 2500 were
taken prisoners. So far as I can learn not
a Union soldier was taken prisoner by the
Rebels. This is certainly true with regard
to the Brigade to which our regiment was
attached, commanded by Cu!. Welsh, acting
in the capacity of a Brigadier-General.—
The 100th Pa., the 4Gth New York, tend his
own regiment were under the command of
of Col. Welsh. The Confederates retreated
towards Harpers Ferry during the night.
Our army is in but pursuit. Our loss is
considerable, I do not know how great; but
the Rebels evidently lost double our number
—some would eey, four times our loss. The
next morning the battle ground was liter
ally covered their dead; they were lying
in heaps, fifteen and twenty together. The
45th was in front and thickest of the fight,
and won Laurels. The regiment was re
peatedly complimented by Gen. Burnside
and Gen. Wilcox, who eommands the corps
to which our regiment is attached. Our
loss was 23 killed and about 112 wounded;
I some of the latter are mortally wounded,
though still living. My object In writing
now, is to give you n list of the killed and
wounded, to relieve the anxiety and sus
pense of friends at home as speedily as pos
sible.

MOVEMENT'S OF MCCLELLAN.
The National Intallingencer of yesterday
sap:
We understand, ale°. that the enemy,
taking advantage of a dense fog which pre
vailed yesterday morning ih the Potomac
valley, were enabled to elude General Mc-
Clellan, who could not discover their where
abouts, and 'precipitately crossed over to
the Virginia side.
The Washington Republican says:
We hear also the following from a very
high source:
The last despatch from Geo. McClellan
was dated at Sharpsburg, at hulf past seven
o'clock yesterday morning. Ile had then
got up with the rear guard of the enemy,
but could not commence an attack until the
fug cleared away.
Gen. Franklin is believed to have crossed
the Potomac yesterday above Ifurper's Fer
ry, and to be moving down upon Harper's
Ferry on the Virginia side.
The enemy was in force yesterday near
Drainesville, in front of Sigel.
Governor Curtin telegraphed here yes.
terday that Gen. McClellan would make 4
"complete route" of the enemy, and that
Gen. Burnside had re-taken El arper's Ferry.
The better opinion still is, that the bulk
of the enemy's army will escape into Vir,
ginia.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
BRILLIANT EXPLOITS OF THE
U. S. STEAMER. ESSEX.
The United States iron clad steamer Es
sex, Commodore W. D. Porter, arrived from
up the river yesterday. We have some very
important and interesting news by this ar
rival, comprising some of the acts and do
ings of the monster iron ship, with "iron
hearts."
About a week (more or less) ag', as the
Essex was cruising along the river, the look
out reported the rebel. gunboat Wm. H.
Webb in sight. Chase was given immedi
ately, and she was pursued past the guns
at Vicksburg. The Essex then started
down the river, and on reaching Natchez,
sent a boat's crew ashore forice. The boat,
on nearing the shore, was fired into by the
rebels, and several of the crew wounded.
Fur this act of temerity, the whole shooting
force of the Essex was brougSt to bear upon
the ill-fated city fur about two hours and a
half, when a deputation was sent down with
a proposition to surrender the city, and
hoist the Stare and Stripes.
Commodore Porter then ordered the firing
to cease, and proceeded down the river un
til off Bayou Sara, where he came to a stop
long enough to turn that ill-fated abode of
Rebels. There were but two houses lett
standing—one belonging to a gentleman
who is said to be friendly to the Union
cause, and the other the property of a lady.
We did not learn what insult was the im
mediate cause of this visitation of ven
geance.
On Sunday,. as the Essex was coming
down the river, a rebel battery of thirty.
four guns, opposite Fort Hudson, opened
upon her, and a fierce battle, at not more
than eighty feet distance, began, wbioh
lasted an hour. At the end of that time
the battery was silenced, and the steamer
passed on down.
The rebel battery was mounted with guns
of very heavy calibre; but that circumstance
only sufficed to prove the remarkable pow
ers of retistance of the Essex. Her iron
sides were struck in a multitude of places
with 10 inch and other sized balls, the re
suit in all cases being , the same—a slight
indentation into the sides of the steamer,
and then the balls breaking into a thousand
fragments, and lulling harmlessly into the
the water. The Rises commenced with the
upper gun, and silenced them all, one after
the otLer. She is truly a furmideble craft,
and comes fully up to the most sanguine ex
pectations of her designer and builder, who,
our readers will recollect, is Commodore
Porter himself. Certainly, nothing the peo
ple of New Orleans have ever seen in the
shape of an "iron clad" can compare with
the Essex.
In the contest with the battery at Port
Hudson the smoke pipes and the ventilator
were perforated in numerous places, and
present something the appearance of being
rust eaten.
It was impossible to asosststio whet the
lon of tWrebels was, as those engaged on
the Essex were too well protected by iron
armor to permit their seeing ashore; but as
the aotion,was at very, close quarters. the
loss on shore.must have been heavy. There
was no casuality on the steamer.
