CAMP PIKRFONT, VA., ) December 23, 1861. j j) e ar Sir —You are already no doubt in receipt of the news of a hush fight with the rebels at Drai*esville, of which allow me to -ire you a few particulars. Our force con pisted of the Kane Rifles, (Buck Tails), the Oth. 12th. and 9th Infantry, Easton's Battery, consisting of two twenty-four and two twelve j pound guns, and Companies C, D, E, II and j, of the Cavalry—all of the Pennsylvania .Reserve Corps. At 8 o'clock p. m. of the 19th. the captains 1 of the above named companies of the cavalry were summoned to our Lieut. Colonel's bead quarters, (ns our Col. was absent), where we were ordered to have our men ready to march at half past five next morning, which was j done accordingly, as an engagement was an ticipated. Strict orders were given us that nut a shot should be fired from our ranks, as the sabre was the weapon to be used by the cavalry. Wis took our line of march about G o'clock a. in , and proceeded to within a short dis tance of Drainesville, when the cavalry were thrown in front, (with Mifflin county boys lsading the van,) when orders were given to charge through the town, and capture nny pickets that might be found, return and form „n the hill, which was between us and the town. The charge was made at full speed I anil in good order; but seeing no one, we re turned and formed according to orders with the battery on wur left, the infantry lying i along the road in our rear. From our posi- ; tion we could see small squads of rebel cav j airy some three or four uiiles distant to the <JI >rtli and west; they raiue <ut of the bushes i't themselves be seen, and returned to their hiding places. We remained in that place about fifteen minutes, when we were ordered to return. We had not proceeded more than une hundred yards when a masked battery opened on our front from the right, not three hundred yards distant, from a perfect thicket nf pines. The infantry were at once thrown in line of batt'e on our front, the buck tails and 6th sent out ou the left, and as the ground vrtH such cavalry could do nothing, we were ordered to pass in front of their battery be hind a piece of woods on the left of the in f.mtry. Their fire WHS directed for the cav airy, as their balls, shell, grape and canister fillosred us until wc were sheltered by the -w.mds, when two shells cam? whistling to wards us, bursting at the side of our column, hitting one horse in company I, and wound ing one in company (J. Their halls all passed ver us while in front of their guns. They were so concealed that it took our Lattery at least twenty minutes before they could play, the rebels all this time firing at the rate of five or six guns per minute ; but when our guns did begin they made sweeter music than my brass band you ever heard, it is singu lar, but nevertheless true not one of our men uts injured from their battery. I was in conversation yesterday with one of the pris ncrs, (who are still in our camp) who told ne that the third shot from our guns wus a •hell which struck otic of their caissons, •which exploded, killing four men and six ii >r#s. Their force consisted of a South Car dins regiment, two Alabama, one Kentucky, une Virginia, and about three hundred caval A constant tire of musketry and canonad <i IJ wa* kept up for over an li.nir, when they retreated, leaving must of their email arm*, blanket* and clothing behind, more than we ■could carry away. I counted near where their battery stood twlre men, four with their <ais entirely off. and eight horses killed.— I> -ides, the woods were scattered full of dead and wounded. Their loss is not less than twn hundred. The prisoners are fine young men, and appear satisfied in being taken. They -IT they are tired of the war, their only re grot being that as their time would soon ex pi re, they intended to return home. There were b arcelv two of them clad alike, all col <>r* and all kinds of clothing: their overcoats were n-w, anil made of heavy cotton duck We all picked up one as a kind of relic, with blankets sufficient to keep ourselves and hor se* warm all winter. Our boys all behaved well—not a man left b> place in ranks during the time we were exposed to their fire. Too much praise can not be given the hack tails, almost every shot K'JHI them teliing well, as it is the first severe tkirntish the Penna. hoys have had. They Lave at (rf*st made a mark. c left the field about dark, burying all oir dead and bringing away our wounded w "ith us; the prisoners were mounted on a back seat with some of our cavalry and T >ught in: better treatment than our poor felli.w< received at their hands. j v<t of the three buck tails killed at Draines *:lle Samuel (Julbraith and George Kauf, belonged to Duncannon, Perry county. They were both struck hy the same grape shot. George Cook, of the same regiment, killed by * Minie musket ball, belonged to Wellsboro', lioga county. Samuel Walter, of the 6th, belonged to Oatawissa; Daniel Darling, of the same, to Prompton, Wayne county. John S. of the 9th, belonged to Erie, and J. • Stockdale, of the same, to Armstrong county. These were all the Pennsylvanians Allied in the action. T. LETTER FROM ADJUTANT MCEWEN. CAMP PIBRPONT, VA. > December 23, 1861. J 1 have been riding considerably of late. !r : Ibureday night we received orders to . Te ady to march at 6 o'clock on the follow ,a g morning, to proceed on a foraging and rtcoßDoitering expedition, to Drainesvilla. • were all ready before the time. There * 4i a pretty large body of troope collected 0T <hi purpose. We took up the line of ®arch along the Leesburg turnpike, and halt about a mile from Drainesvilla. I ha cavalry were thrown in front, our com piny taking the lead. We made a very good charge into and through the town, driving be 'ore us three mounted rebel piokets, who took t0 the woods as fast as their horses could pamper away; we retarned without capturing itiem. On reaching the town we found the artillery drawn up in front of the church, the mfantry behind it. We remained in posses won of the town three hours, when we mads a movement to return to camp. We had been srdered front to act as the ad ranee gourd and 1 on arriving at high ground abovo the tUn, were greeted by the bursting of a shell ahove our heads, thrown by the rebels, but nobody was hurt. The infantry ware then brought up on double quick. They could tell when a shell was commg, when they would all drop on the ground. and after the explosion would rise and cheer, and call for a few more of the sane sort, as they wanted some pieces to take home as keepsakes. For our part, we had to keep in our saddles, and could not "jute" the shells. We were under fire more than twen ty minutes, after which we were sheltered be hind a woods. Their fire was turned on us there, but all the damage done was one horse killed and one wounded ; the horse killed be longed to company I. in which George Sie grist is lieutenant. Our artillery was then brought into action, which soon silenced their batteries. The infantry now opened a fire of musketry, and maintained it for nearly au hour, when everything became quiet. Ed ward Miclials was in it with the artillery ; he is a very good soldier; he came to see me yes terday. in company with brother Stewart and Jacob Iloltzworth ; we all took dinner togeth er. \\ ell, after fighting an hour and a half, we drove the rebels completely off the ground; they fled as fast as they could get away—it being a perfect rout. They left one hundred and fifty killed on the ground, and nearly twice that number wounded. We took twelve prisoners. They left behind them every stitch of clothing except what they had on their hacks. They stripped for the fight, piling up j their blankets, overcoats, iic., with all their provisions. I did very well considering, for I got five very good blankets—one worth ten dollars; this I shall keep for my own conve nience, the others I will use for horse covers. I also captured three tolerable coats; Stewart got one of them, and the others I gave to my colored hoys. The cavalry had no chance to charge on the rebels, as they were in a very dense thicket. Ilarry Stock was in the thick est of it. Dr. Bower was very busily employ j cd in attending to the wants of friend and foe ; alike. lam sorry to say, we had eight killed and a number wounded. The fine weather lias given place to rain, sleet, and piercing winds. Theodore Warcani was able to sit up yesterday. Lieut. George Siegrist is very well. I will not ask leave of nbsence before April. I shook hands with Will Patterson; lie bus lea\e of absence for four days. WM. T. MO EVEN. We make the following extract of a let ter from Pet or Prince, Jr., to his father, dated PADICAH. KKSTUCKV, 1 December, 2G, IN6I. j I dil not know what minute we would all have to leave here, as we were expeeting an attack almost every day. The pickets are driven in about once a week, but the rebels uever stand their ground; so we are annoyed, but 1 don't think the Union forces will leave here thi* winter, as they have taken up win ter quarters. They start out sometimes, and make feints on eainp Beauregard, forty miles from here, but it does nut amount to anything. We have about nine thousand in all, in and about I'aducah, including iufantry, artillery, cavalry, and men who have charge of the fortifications. The town is well fortified, but it can be taken if well managed; but the men here are all anxious to go south. I would he glad if they would move, as my trunk and everything else I had is still in Tennessee, and I can't get them. They are in safe hands, however. I will get them sometime, or just as soon as the niau can move to Kentucky. I sometimes go out with scouting parties; I ld one on Monday within nine miles of Colum bus, where somo strong rsbels lived. I went t.i their houses, and while I would be talking to them the cavalry would coinc and take them; we brought in uina prisoners. We met with some of the rebel cavalry, but they fled, and we got home safely. I was in Cairo last week—there are a great inanv men there, but the number is unknown to all, unless to the commanders of that post—and they are com ing in daiiy; I found them going for that city even as high up as Cincinnati, where I went before returning to Paducali. All persons not employed by the (jovernment arc arrested at Cairo now—au pass will let you out of the city. Most persons have some one who is well known to vouch, and in this way get out. I saw a great many prisoners there, brought from Missouri. The weather is very fine—so warm that no overcoat is required. I should have left here long since if I could have got my things from Tennessee, but I sec no chance now. After repeated recommendations by several Grand Juries the Commissioners were induced to introduce gas into the Court House, and the first trial in holding court during the evening has demonstrated that it can be turned to profitable account in the continuation of any important trial on hand, or in disposing of petty cases. — At a moderate estimate, the cost to the county of holding court is over §ls per hour, and consequently if a single day in a year will be saved by holding court an hour or two in the evening, the county would gain two-thirds of the entire cost of the fixtures. The chandelier in the court room is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and is generally admired. The fixtures were put up by John 11. Selheimer, who is, by the by, an excellent workman. COURT PROCEEDINGS. —Hon. S. S. Woods, President Judge, and Hons. Eli jah Morrison and James Turner, Asso ciates, tuolt their seats on Monday and after the reading of their commissions, &c., proceeded with the usual business.— Judge Woods delivered an able and elo quent charge to the Grand Jury, which was listened to with marked attention by a crowded room. Since then business has been progressing finely, with every indica tion that a new leaf has been turned over. SQQuita a number of persons from this and adjacent oounties visited Mifflintown oa Friday last to see Lovering, the murderer, hung. Tax WKATBXK made quite a change within the past week, a fine enow having fallen on Sunday night, which has made tolerably good sleighing. The river is covered with ice suf ficiently strong for pedestrians to crop. HUNTING.— On the Ist, the time fur shooting deer, pheasants, partridges, &e., expired, and we earnestly hope BO one will further molest such game, or break the law this season, or if it is done, that the viola tors will be prosecuted. B*#-Several hands from the Patterson shop were injured two weeks ago by a col lision near Millerstown, the engine which was carrying them down having been run into by the coal train—bad management somewhere. Among those who suffered most were William Foster, Andrew Smith, Wilson Cramer and Benj. Shellenberger. James Parker, Jacob Snyder, Thaddeus Parker and others were slightly injured. Randolph, a colored man, was arrested in Philadelphia last week and brought to Mifflintown jail, charged with having robbed Hecht's jewelry shop at Pat terson of thirteen watches, &c. FIRE.— An alarm of fire was raised on Wednesday afternoon last, caused by the burning of two frame buildings in Charles street, the one occupied by Jacob Womer, iu which the fire originated, and the other by George Ulrich. Both were entirely consumed. One of the tenements destroyed was owned by llibler,*Freesc it Co., the other by heirs of Mrs. Stevens. The adjoining house, owned by Comforts was also consid ahly injured. Besides the loss of some household articles, all the tenants in the row suffered much inconvenience by the removal of furniture, &c. CURE FOR FROSTED FEET. —We have frequently heard of late that frosted feet can he cured by being bathed and well rub bed with kerosine oil, for a few times at night before retiring to bed. Several per sons have already tried it, all of whom unite in pronouncing it an effectual cure, which, if they are correct, is an easy and cheap mode of getting rid of a very sore and troublesome affliction. Those, says the Ilarrisburg Telegraph, who have tried it inform us that the feet should be warmed by a hot stove during and after the applica tion of the oil, and it will certainly effect a speedy cure. Persons suffering from the pain ot frosted leet will no doubt do well in giving it a trial, for it is surely a very cheap ointment and one which is easi ly applied. MILITARY. —The Lochicl Cavalry, Col. E. C. Williams, are at present located at Camp Andy Johnson, Jeffersonville, Indi ana. Capt. Hand's, in which a number are enlisted from this county, is Company L. Gilbert Waters, of Lewistown,iß First Lieutenant. Lieut. It. (LiParker, of the regular ar my, Lieut. Mann of the Mifflin couuty Cavalry, Surgeon J. I. Marks of the —th Pennsylvania, stationed in Kentucky, (late ly on the sick list,) Liout. Eckebarger, Lieut. Win A. Mitchell, acting as Adju tant to Gen. Hancock, have been in town. Also, Sergeant Major Dickey, who goes to Huntingdon to recruit men, and some oth ers who we cannot recall to mind. Mr. D. brought a secession overcoat and a tiger blanket captured at Prainsville by Adj. McEwcn. BfiA„We received a letter this morning (too late for publication this week) from a valued correspondent in the Logan Guards, giving a graphic description of the recep tion of a box from the Ladies of Lewis town, containing mittens for the company. We regret to say that he describes them as all too large for the delicate hands of the Logans—both hands, he says, going into one. Petersons' Counterfeit Bank Note Detee tor.

Lewistown, Deo. 11, 1861-tal The Red, White and Blue, Is the Big Coflfee Pot Sign ! My friends, I suppose you wish to know, Why the Poetry Machine don't go; But to tell you the truth, since the war, To me her notes seem all to jar. And only now bar invitation, Is to Union men of this Nation; As for the ladies, I know they can Go for the Union to a—man 1 And the right kind of a man is he, Who will call at the Tin Shop to see The things that will suit his own dear wife, And add to her comfort through life. And the right sort of woman is she, Who will find a nice man who will he, Her dear husband, so good aid kind, And'll call at the Coffee Pot Sign. For there you will find I always keep, Stoves and Tin Ware, (and I'll sell cheap:) And Coal Buckets, too, all very neat, Some sit on their bottoms, some stand on faet. From two dollars and upwards I'll sell, Parlor Gas Burners that will do well; But cash you must know is all tho go When prices are so very low. Many other things I would mention, But I will just call your attention To my lately improved FAT SQUEEZER — Should your wife need one, don't teaze her. A short hint like this I think should do— If you heed it not she'll make you flete To J. I. WALLIS, for he's the man. To sell you a Squeezer and a Lard Can. LTJMBBK.. WILLIAM B.
