Correspondence of the Gazette.
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

felli.w< received at their hands.

belonged to Duncannon, Perry county. They
were both struck hy the same grape shot.
George Cook, of the same regiment, killed by

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.

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.
