Our Borough.
Notwithstanding our youngoniddle-aged
and old fogies, who are toffr it iazy to per
form their natural obligations, and too
selfish to allow any portion of the human
family to advance beyond the groveling
and mulish standard, adopted by them
selves have beenexha_usting their physical
and moral capacity daring the last live
or sit years to destroy the trade, com
merce, business, •growth, responsibility
and ancient good naute of our borough.l

sanctimonious looks of wisdom —.lO-noth-
Sag advice, au-i dogdn-theqn anger colt- i
trol, discouraging declarations and owl-1
song propecies—our Borough still lives.
Every branch of business ism a flourishing
condition. Labor conunauds exorbitant
prices. Our market is well supplied and
well attended. Our Salvia houses are large j
and well filled, so that there is no dan
ger that the race will run nut, and sure
indications that it will be impr.ivel.--1
The sand-hank blockade is being raised ;
the Tide water Canal Company have a
steam dredge cleaning out the channel
along our wharves. The Messrs. Vaughn
are docking nut their wharf about one
hundred and fifty feet; and our town
has not before been in so prosporeus
condition since the palmy days of state
patronage, hene.upoliaciaai ul private
plunder. Nor is our prosperity confined
to individual operations and the raise of
the blockade in our harbor. The Penn
sylvania Railroad is making extensive
improvments on Front street. The old
frame warehouses on the basin have all
been removed, and a new rail road
track laid on their site. Laborers arc
now engaged in grading the embankment
died by the Northern Central Railroad,
to get on the old bridge, even with the
street; giving the inhabitants of that
portion of the town, who have for many
years resided in a fortress, made by said
embsokment, an opportunity once more,

the privilege of shooting dit not at ths.

Wrightsville, without biting ohii : pri to
stand behind a breastwork.
The new bridge is progressing finely,not
s) rapidly as wo could wish but in a
manner characteristic of the managers of
the Pennsylvania Railroad ; and from
present indications, it will : be one of the
most substantial anal beautiful strmeures
of the present age of improvements.
Our "City Fathers" have also been
beard from, in a shape;which adds anoth
er proof to the eternal laws of nature :
that force used must always be greater
than the resistance which is to be over
come—and it also proves, that our gov
ernment is yet strong enough for any,
and all emergencies. A simple procla
mation from the President calling for
600,000 of the "National forces" has pro-'
diced a wonderful change, and brought'.
forth the offer of a liberal bounty, and
energetic efforts to fill up our quota with
out having our borough again disgraced
with a draft.
The commutatien ST49 harmless while
living, but its ghost appears to possess
almost miraculous and superhuman pow•
er; it discovers all the fighting material
and exposes all the nen-resistants in our
county, giving "aid and comfort" only
to those who are under twenty and over
forty-five.
The News
Everything connected with ttrmY
orations looks encouraging and pint; to
the speedy termination of the rebellion.
Our army is fast. filling up while , that of
the rebels is growing beautifully less.
From the Shenandoah Valley we have
the particulars of a battle tim : rht on Sun
day two miles beyond eharler , rown. The
Sixth, Eighth and Nineteenth Corps all
participated. hut the Sixth hone the
brunt of the engagement. Our right
drove the enemy for over a mile.hnt
scquentiy retired to llalltnwn.where they
were drawn up in line of battle. Th,.
nest morning the old poeitinn wag re
sumed and the cavalry had orders ro en
deavor to pnsh thr..tigh Martit.horg.

No farther fighting has occurred in
front of Petersburg. The enemy has ap
patently become convinced of his inability
to drive us from the Weldon - Railroad: .
and has withdrawn from the immediate
front of our position. It is supposed he
isbusy fortifying the right of his position.
The additional details we obtain of the
fight on sunday adds to the decisiveness
of the victory we won. The Rebel loss
is now estimated at nearly if not quite
two thousand. We captured seventy
officers and nearly eight hundred men.
A considerable force of Union troops
is (so say the Rebel papers) on the march
overland from Pensacola towards Mobile,
or probably towards Fort Morgan.
The House of Itepresentativs passed the
Senate bill imposing a penalty of $5OO
upon any person retaining bounty money
or a volunteer after he is mustered into
the service.

i The • army now occupy the heights
pear, and on a line with Halhowl', fol
lowing the first of the three r.-ages of
hills comprising the Ffcights of Bolivar.
Our hoc is an exceedingly strong one,
and it is to beloped that the enemy will '
attack us in our present position. -The
right is held as 'before by the Sixth
Co pi, but the centre has now been as
signed to the Nineteenth, end the left to
the Eight Corps. Our right rests on the
Pototatc, and the left reaches to the
banks of the Shenandoah river—thus
giving io a complete command of this
key of the valley. A,s one rides along
the entire line of our front he is impress
ed with the commanding position of these
hills, and almost imagines that they were
thrown up with an eye to their especial
adaptability to defensive purposes.
Away off' in the direction of Charles
town the country stretches out like a
panorama, and you can see every house
and fichi for miles. :Charlestown itself
is almost at your feet, and the Potomac
winds its tortuous way to the right, its
course marked by a dark fringe of foli
age. On tle left the poetic Shenandoah
is lost amidst a succession of hills, and
the eye tires in following the diversified
landscape of hill and dale.
General Sheridan's headquarters have
been c.itablished in the immediate vicinity
or llalltown, upon which place our centre
rests. The cavalry remained out in front,
outside of Charlestow'n, and occupied
nearly the same position abandoned by
Generals Crook and Wright. When I
left Charlestown this morning at five
o'clock, skirmishing had been going on
fir some time, and it, assumed formidable

'Written for ibo Columbia Spy.
Phight among the Phonies
Quite an excitement was created in
our usually quiet town last, by the ap
pearance of a monster in our harbor, off
Locust street. Some declared that it was
a rebel ram; others that it was the ghost
of the Elephant Hannibal; and our spir
itualists thought that it might be the
spirit of some departed rebel chieftain,
which bad assumed the shape of an in
fernal machine, hovering around as the
forerunner of some national disaster.—
But when it became known, that the
monster was nothing more nor less than
a steam dredge, raising the sand bank
blockade in front of Messrs. Y. &J.
Vaughn's new wharf : the excitement sub
sided ; fear was turned into curiosity ;
and hundreds of our inhabitants visited
the wharf to see the monster work. Im
provements in Columbia, however, like
true love, are destined never to run
smooth ; the old fogies who own what
used to be the wharves below. an& which
at the present time, are about one hun
dred yards inland from low water mark,
called a council of war and after singing
the hymn, which commences with
hark from the tomb., a doleful so.ynd,"
proceeded to discuss in pathetic tones,
the departure of the Messrs. Vaughns
from the do nothing policy, which they
asserted, had been iu operation along the
wharves so long, that by Magna Charta
it had become the fundamental law of
the land; and particularly of the land
lying between their wharves and the
river. The war council proceeded to do
nothing and adjourn ; but the spirit
moved some of its members to enter a
kind of whining protest, which was pre
sented to our city fathers, who being
members in good standing of the do
nothing fraternity, proceeded as usual to
do nothing, but expressed the belief' that
unless the Messrs. Vaughns stopped
their improvement and proceeded also,to
do nothing, that they would get into a
law suit. lam not a lawyer, nor the son
of a lawyer; but I know of no rule,under
Magna Charta common, or statue law to
prevent a person from occupying. his own
land which is bounded on navigable
waters, to the water's edge. The juris
diction of Port Wardens, is in the har
bor and not on the land ; neither can a
wharf owner complain,who has his wharf
on the land back from the shore,and who
does not attempt to maintain a wharf at
the water's edge. It is a well known
fact, that the boilding, of the outlet to
the canal has changed the current of the
river, produced an eddy, and entirely
changed the line of the river shore; and
it is the duty of the Port Wardens to
have our harbor su • cd and establish
.):rliarfmg-pa,ral e — llll - 4 . , .
rent, so as to preVent the formation or
the eddy, and thereby prevent any fur
ther deposit of sand in our harbor; other
wise the phight goes on. The Messrs.
Vaughns deserve great credit for their
pioneer movement in this greatly neetzed
improvement. Long may they wave.
"IF Lynchburg had been capt ured,Lee
would have been compelled to abandon
Richmond." So said the Richmond
papers, when Hunter had made his exit
from Virginia without doing what lie
was sent to do. This fully proves the
soundness of the plan of General Grant,
which contemplated the capture of
Lynchburg. The failure of that part
renders incomplete the rest. We pre
sume that the present movements of
Sheridan contemplate, if not the doing
of what Hunter failed to do, at least that
which will have the same effect.
During the past few weeks, large quan
tities of peaches have been taken from

over this road has been four times great

Delaware railroad has been constructed.

retter From the 195th P. V.
CASIP AT DIONOCACT JUNCTION,
'August 19th, '64.
DEAR SPY :—Once wore I am seated
in my tent to give your readers a few
lines from the 195th Itogt. Every day
we are becoming more proficient on drill,
and pride ourselves with being pretty
good soldiers for the short time we have
been in the field. On Sunday Last we
were reviewed and inspected by our field
officers, accompanied by Gea. Tyler,com
manding the Brigade. The General ex
pressed himself highly pleased with the
appearance and soldierly bearing of the
regiment, and we understand classes it
among the best of this department. With
a few week's more drill we will be able
to vie with many of the three year regi
ments, and under our able and popular
Colonel will be fit for arly service that
may be required of us. All our field and
lin: officers are men of experience and
ability, and our friends may rest assured
that we will be ably led and well taken
care of, and that both officers and men
will discharge their duties fully and faith
fully.
After waiting for several weeks for
letters from our friends we were at last
rejoiced to hear' the welcome cry, " The
mail bas come." Many an eye sparkled
with delight and many an anxious heart
beat high with' hope that among the lot
one might he for him. If our friends at
home could have seen the cheerful faces
and known the inward joy of those who
were the lucky recipients of letters, they
would write more frequently. 4 few
kind words from loved ones; a little good
advice from a mother or sister may save
an erring son from vice and folly. Many
are far away from home,for the first time
in their life. A father's counsel or a
mother's influence is not heard or felt,
while here in the camp are many tempta
tions and many vices into which the
young are easily led, and the 'good they
have been taught at home is almost,if not
altogether forgotten Write to the eol
diersl Write words of cheer and com
fort, remind him of his duties to God.his
Home and his COuntry, and you will be
• •
amply repaid by the consciousness of
cheering his lone hours and perhaps
leading him from error and sin, to virtue
and honor.
Last Sunday evening for the first time
in our history as soldiers,we experienced
what it is to be in a rain storm. About
five o'clock the black clouds which bad
been threatening nearly all clay, suddenly
broke into a violent storm of wind and
rain. The wind was very severe upset
ting many of the)ents and compelling
the boys to weath ., A the blast as best they
con t , e ,_ oar
Nearly all were nitre or less wet, but
left of the regiment occupying higher
ground were more fortunate than the
rest. Co. C. suffered most, their camp
being almost entirely under water, the
bus wading about in search of their
knapsacks, looking as though they were
turned out of house and home and knew
not where to go. It was evident that the
camp was untenable in case of rain, and
on the following morning we changed
our camp to a more elevated and better
position, on the north side of the railroad.
We are now in a more pleasant situation,
on a fine hill commanding an excellent
view of the country for miles around.—
Nearly every day brings us visitors from
different parts of the country, and all
seem much pleased with their visit. Col)
Wm. G. Case, accompanied by his son,
paid.us a visit on Monday last, and re
turns home, we have no doubt, greatly
pleased with the advancement the regi
ment has made in the art of war.
The result of the State election was a
source of great gratification to the soldiers
in this neighborhood, as it was no doubt
to them in all departments of the army.
Our greatest surprise is, that in the loyal
state of Pennsylvania, so many could be
found,who forgetful of the rights of their
fellow citizens, who are periling their
lives for their homes and country, could
deliberately vote against granting the
right of citizenship. We hear these
same men t ilk against negro equality Ar.,
while at the same time they use their in
fluence and votes to make the white de
fenders of their cos try below the negro.
for deprive him of his right to citizen
ship and what Is the white man more
than the negro, But, a day of reckoning
is coming and the sword of justice which
has been so long suspended will ere long
full with terrible weight upon the heads
of these vile, ungrateful and contempti
ble reptiles. The man who in times like
these has no love of country,and no word
of encouragement for the brave defenders
deserves not to live among freemen and
patriots, and the time will come when all
such cannot walk the streets Without thl
finger of scorn being pointed at them, or
look a soldier in the face without the
blush of shame upon his cheeks. For
the honor of our town we are glad that
hut one was found base enough to cast a
vote to disfranchise a fellow citizen. We
honor tkose who nobly did their duty,wo
scorn those-who shrank from or skulked
it, net having the manliness or courage
to vote as their feelings prompted.

The news of our gammas at Mobile
and before Richmond is very encourag
ing and lead us to hope that the end
draws near. Let us remain faithful to
our principles, have faith in oar loaders,
sustain with all the moans in our power
the efforts of the government to_ crush
this wicked rebellion, and we shall soon
see the dawn of peace and prosperity.—
The Spy comes to us regularly now and
is read with much interest by the boys,
and anxiously looked for. Accept many
thanks froth your humble servant and the
company for your kind remembrance of
them.
We found by experience after adopt
ing several different ways, that the best
and most speedy way of getting letters is
to have them directed to Monocacy Junc
tion, via Baltimore. Our friends will re
member this and address accordingly.-
