LOCAL, AFFAIRS.
DEATH of Du. WOODS. —On Saturday
list Mr. Woods was in his cornfield for a
short time, conversing with Mr. A- Wag
ner. who was plowing in it, and while re
turning to his residence was seen to fall in
the lawn in front. Mr. Wagner immc-
II itely went to his assistance, but found
li*iii insensible. He Avas conveyed to his
room, and the usual restorations applied,
but the efforts of physicians as well as
friends failed to restore him to conscious
ness, and he thus lingered until 25 minutes
before 12 o'clock on Sabbath evening,
when his spirit bid adieu to its earthly ten
ement, and Avas wafted into the presence
of Him in whose service he had so earn
estly, conscientiously and faithfully la
bored for more than 40 years. The event,
although not unexpected by his children
or congregation, for he had been extreme
ly feeble at times during the past year,
still created a deep and impressive feeling,
not only among those of his church, but
throughout town and country. Mr. W.
has been pastor of the Presbyterian Church
of Lewistown for 39 years, and was in the
70th year of his age.

( aunty Committee, held at Lewistown on
Saturday, June 28th, the following resolu

united support to any good Union man for the

SUDDF.N DEATH. —Mrs. Sarah Link,
widow ol Daniel Link, deceased, was found
dead in her bed on Thursday last. Not
appearing as usual, search was made, and
finding her roci:;, duor locked and no an
swer given to the knocking or calls, it was
entered. An inquest was held and her
body examined by a physician, but no
marks of violence being perceptible, the
doctor and inquest decided that her death
was owing to a neuralgic affection to which
she was subject. She was aged about GO
years.
31 a JOB J. A. MATIIEWB of the gallant
40th Pa. regt., paid a brief visit to Lewis
town on Thursday morning, and again de
parted to the post of duty. He has been
absent some ton months, during which he

CAMP NO. 20, IN THE FIEED, j
ACROSS THE CHJCEAHOMINT,
NEAR RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, F
June 22, ISC?, J
Mr. Editor —Although the sun is shining
with a fervor by no means pleasant, yet 1 will
endeavor to give the readers of the Gazette a
few items, of interest perhaps to those of them
who have ftiends among the soldiers of the
■49 th. We have crossed the Chickahouiiny
since I last wrote to you, and established our
camp on a slope, which now is so dry and
solid that wc sweep it like a pavement each
day, although when we arrived here it was a
swampy quicksand, on which a horseman
could not venture, so great had been the ef
fect of the late heavy rains on this peculiar
soil. Of course our ranks are thinned by dis
ease to some extent in this climate, and under
the heavy demands made on us in the way of
duty. A few, too, have fallen victims to the
fatal f'vers generated in these swamps, among
them Sergt. Barger of Milroy, a man univer
sally respected. Our regiment however has
suffered lass than most others from disease,
and is maintaining itself very well under the
circumstances. The best of humor prevails,
and it would probably surprise most of your
readers to hear the remarks passed about our
camp fires by men whom they look upon as
braving the worst of all fates. So pre-emi
nently "jolly" a class of men as soldiers, even
under the most trying circumstances, I do
not believe can anywhere be found. "A flag
! of truce came in to day," remarks one. "What
i lor?" " i'he robs wanted to borrow a couple
of days' rations, its their supply trains failed
to get in," is the reply. "Did they get'era?"
"Yes: the General told them to come and take
. all they could." So ;umora are burlesqued,
j Generals are mimicked, Colonels' and Cap
1 tains' little eccentricities are made standing
• jokes, and neither hard duty, building cordu
roy roads, bridging swamps or the Cbicka
| hominy, eleeping out in the rain, or walking
' on the picket lines in the dark woods serves
for more than a moment to lull their keen
wits or lively jokes, which are the rule in
| camp. We are passing our time rather pleas
' antly just now, almost in the same routine as
| at Camp Griffin last winter, except that then
I we thought we were in the face of the enemy
now we have ocular demonstration of it
i every day. Our picket line is veiy close to
that of the enemy. S onetimes wo are al!
j compelled to keep under cover, and frequent
ly balls whistle uncomfortably close; some
times we are on very friendly terms, and talk
with our enemy's pickets. Private John Mus
scr of Company G was killed by a rebel sharp
shooter on his post, on the ltith June. Since
that time but little skirmishing has occurred
on our lines. This shooting of pickets is the
most horrible warfare one can conceive, and
it is persisted in by some of the enemy's regi ;
rnents and encouraged to some extent by some I
ot our own, though disliked exceedingly by all j
humane and sensible tnen on both sides. The j
rebels are almost invariably the aggressors,
though soiqo of their troops avoid it altogeth
er. Our experience yesterday with the 15th
Georgia inclined us to a more favorable opin
ion of them than we generally entertain for
rebels: Two of our men met four of them
half-way between the lines, and after a con
versation and exchange of pocket knives, each
party returned to their posts, having arranged
that no tiring should be done on that part of
the line. A wheat field, now with its yellow
crop vainly waiting the reaper, is all thatsep
arates us, and the distance is not twenty rods
at some points from our outposts to theirs.
The scene on the line just as the sun was go
ing behind the hilla was one to be remember
ed. A lively fight had sprung up on the left,
and the pickets on both lines disappeared in
the edges of the woods. From the rebel
camps came over the music of one band and
numerous drum corps, engaged probably in
the ceremony of dress parade, to which the
rattling of the rifles, and booming of the can
noni with their bursting shells seems an ex
citing accompaniment. Qur lines, strength
ened and alert, listened with anxiety to the
fight, wondering what it meant, and watching
for some move in front of us, when suddenly
a cheer arose on the left, and passing along
from regiment to regiment announced a victo
ry. A feeble, boyish cheer from the rebels,
and the beautiful summer evening passed in
to twilight to the music of the birds mingled
with that of drum and trumpet, and at times
even a sterner music of war. After that "all
was quiet." I have not yet learned either the
extent or cause of the firing yesterday even
ing, the reply to my one inquiry having been
"that the rebels were hungry, and made a re
quisitition on Gen. Hooker for supplies, which
were refused, as the requisition was signed in
lead instead of ink, as required by regula
tions." I did not think best to inquire fur
ther of that soldier. As to our prosf ects for
a move we are as ignorant as you —even more
so. We are kept in our own camps, and rely
on the newspapers to find out what transpires
in our own army. They seldom get the truth,
but their accounts, like a modern novel, "are
founded on facts." Two men have injured
their hands by accidental discharge of their
pieces within the last two days. Lieut. Neice
is with us again and has his usual health once
more. Lieut. Westbrook is sick in hospital,
tut no other officers are seriously ill, nor so
far as I am informed are any of the men dan
gerously so. The Gazette is much prised in
camp, and each copy is worn out by passing
from tent to tent among the boys, who all buy
and read the newspapers. We get the dailies
two days after their dates. We have plenty
and good rations, hot days, cool nights, plenty
j of duty, a supply of quinine, and so do not
\ think of complaining. We would like to end
! the war, and hope soon to do 80, and to do it
! at Richmond. CAP.
WAR NEWS,
An important order was issued last week,
by which the different corps hcrctoiore un
der command of Generals McDowell, Fre
mont and Banks have been consolidated,
and will hereafter be known as the " Army
of Virginia," under chief command of Maj.
General Pope. The consolidation of these
divisions under a General in whom the
country feels so much confidence must give
vigor to cur operations in upper Virginia,
whilst it at once puts an end to the conflic
ting authority and claims of the Generals
who have been operating separately and
without harmony against the Rebel Jack
son. The fact, already well known, is now
semi officially stated, that General McCall's
Div ision, ten thousand strong, has been
sent to General MeClellan, and that anoth
er division is to follow immediately. Gen.
MeClellan has also received other reinforce
ments to the extent of several thousands.
General Pope, we arc likewise told, is also
to operate against the enemy at Richmond,
but in what way is left for events to devel
o.po.
Gen. Fremont having declined to come |
into this arrangement, he has been reliev- i
ed from duty at that point. We are sorry
that this determination was come to, as
this is not a time for etiquette. Ilis divis
ion has been assigned to Brig. Gen. Bufus
King.
By an arrival at New York from Port
Royal we have particulars of the recent
repulse of our troops in an attack on the
Rebel batteries on James Island, substan
tially confirming the report given by the
Charleston papers. The attack was made
after daylight in the morning, and as our
forces advanced they were met by a mur
derous fire. Only two regiments, the
Seventy-ninth New York and the Eighth
Michigan, reached the front. They took
and held the battery for a short time, but
not being properly supported were finally
repulsed. Several of the regiments suffer
ed very severely, and the total loss in kil
led, wounded and prisoners was nearly
seven hundred. Gen. Benhain and Staff
arrived in the steamer, with orders to re
port at Washington, he having made the
attack contrary to the orders of Gen. llun
tjr ai)d without waiting for reinforcements
which were on the way to him. After the
! repulse our forces fell hack under the pro
tection of the gunboats and have intrench
ed their position. Gen. Brannan had ar
rived from Key West with two thousand
: troops, but further reinforcements will be
needed as the Rebels have a large and daily
increasing force.
Complaints continue to come front all
quarters of the leniency w'th which the
rebels are treated in Virginia. As an in-
I 0
stance, we give the fact that in the infa
mous town of Winchester, where our men
were shot at by iucarnate fiends in the
shape of women, the Provost Marshal re
cently made a requisition for soldiers to
scrape and clean the streets, while num
bers of secessionists with their negroes,
were looking on. That Provost Marshal,
or officer ordering it, be he who he may,
ought to have his uniform torn from him
in strips, and kicked out of the service
towards rebeldom.
EVENTS BEFORE RICHMOND.
NFW YORK, June 30.
An extra has jqst been issued here, with
dispatches dated on the battle field, cn
Sunday morning.
The dispatches states that a severe and
most determined battle was fought on the
right wing on Thursday and Friday, which
is claimed by some of our officers as a suc
cessful strategetic movement, driving the
enemy immediately into a trap which will
soon capture Richmond and the entire reb
el army.
The attack was made by the rebels in
immense force, who crossed the Chicka
hominy near the railroad above Mehanics
ville on Thursday afternoon.
The rebels fought desperately, but were
unable to drive our men a single rod, though
the enemy were ten to our one. The only
force engaged thatday was McCall's division.
The battle lasting from two o'clock till
nine p. m., when the division was ordered
back.
General McClellan was on the field, and
expressed himself satisfied with the result.
Another report is also published, dated
June 27th, which states that our killed,
wounded and missing will number twelve
hundred.
The object of the movement was to bring
Gen. Porter's and other Divisions into
close connection with the rest of the army,
in fact changing the front of the whole of
our forces, with our centre and left pressing
immediately on Richmond itself, which
could be done uud was executed on, Satur
day. It was a virtual surrender or vaca
ting of a long line ot defence, heretofore
kept up, to Me&haaiesville, in order to
have the whole force within a more effect
ive distance, also to allow the rebels to fol
low up and, if, possible, to bag them.
Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Porter to
withdraw two miles this side of Gaines'
Mil' 3 early on Friday morning, which was
done, the enemy following and thinking
they had gained the victory, our troops
slowly moving back in order, fighting as
they went, crossing the Chickahominy, and
reached the position designed for their oc
cupation by Gen. McClellan; the rebels fol- ;
lowed in great force, and by three o'clock
in the afternoon a general and heavy en
gagement occurred here, lasting till seven :
o'clock, when a lull took place, but the reb- j
els again renewed it with a greater feropi- !
ty, having been reinforced. Our brave
men stood the unequal contest like heroes,
and the shell, grape and musketry did fear i
ful havoc. Our forces were increased by
Generals Slocum's, Palmer's, French's and
Meagher's brigades, and the rebels were
beaten badly. Neagle's brigade went into
the battle with their coats off, and slpeves !
rolled up to fight like tigers.
The ground which Gen. McClellan order- !
ed Gen. Porter to occupy and hold, was
occupied and held iu the first part of the
day. Gen. Porter's corps only contended
against the rebels, but subsequently rein- (
f'oicements swelled our numbers to 45,000. j
The rebels had 00,000 under Generals
Lee, Ilill, Anderson and Branch.
Among the killed are Col. Black and Lieut, i
Col. Sweitzer, of the G2d Pennsylvania, Col. !
John N. M'Lane, of 83d Penna. Col Gane, of j
the 22d Massachusetts, Col. Roberts, of the
Ist Michigan, Col. M'Quade and Lieut. Coi
Skellcn, of the 14th New York, and Major
Patterson, of C2d Pennsylvania.
[Correspondence of t lie Baltimore American.]
WHITE HOUSE, June 28.
The events transpiring at this point, and
in the army before Richmond during the
past four days, have been of such varied char
acter and thrilling in'erest, that 1 scarcely
know where to commence or end the record
j in order to make it at all understandable to
the general reader. Many who were eye wit
nesses to these movements have fled panic
stricken, fully convinced that the whole army
before Richmond has been destroyed, and
that Gen! McClellan has been out witted, out
generated, out-flanked and " driven to the
wall," where he promised to place the enemy.
The evacuation of White House was to them
r.n inexplicable mystery under any other con
dition of facts; but had they kept their eyes
i op' n in the early part of the week, they
would have discovered that the work of evac
uation was silently and surely progressing
before any of the fighting on the right wing,
i as early as Tuesday, and that large numbers
| of vessels had left the York and Pamunky
rivers and were moving rapidly around to a
new basis of operations on the James river.
I They might also have observed that all civil
: fans were forbidden to approach the front as
early as Tuesday, under any pretense what
ever, and that the immense stores of supplies
at Dispatch Station had been 6teadily reduced
for a week, until the last barrel of crackers,
barrel of beef and bale of hay had disappear
j ed before the great contest on Friday, which
1 left the way open for the enemy to approach
that point, which I have §very reason to be
; lieve was designedly intended by Gen. Mc-
Clellan to the mouth of the trap into which
thev were being led, and I hope and believe
. to their entire route and discomfiture,
i Before proceeding to the narrative of events
as they have occurred in the vicinity of White
House during the past few days, I will brief
i ly state that the whole movement of Gen.
i McClellan, so far as the char.gipg of his lines
are concerned, and in reality the making of
i his left wing his right wing, and withdraw
ing his right wing to rest near Savage Station
j at the railroad bridge across the Chickahomi
ny, has been accomplished, throwing the way
; open for the enemy to rush to his ccvcied
feast at the White House, where he found
j nothing but an empty platter.
Whether this movement is good or bad, or
what may be intended by Gen. McClellan to
; be accomplished by it, further than throwing
! his left on to the James river, and support
| ing an attack on Fort Darling, it is impossible
at present to say. A day or an hour may
decide this point.
For the Gazette.
According to a resolution passed at the
Sabbath School Convention for Juniata Dis*
trict, East Baltimore Conference, held at Pe
tersburg, Huntingdon county, June 10th and
11th, I send you for publication a summary
of its pro?eedings :

Jno. Morehead Rev. Jas. Brads, J. H. Ross,
Esq., and 11. Hunter, Esq., Vice Presidents,
Wm. J. Spencer and J. M. Caldcrwood, Sec
retaries. The various interests of Sabbath
Schools were presented and discussed in all
their particulars. On Thursday morning tho
large and flourishing Sabbath School of Pe
tersburg was present, and was addressed by
Messrs. Ivirby, Smith, Spencer, Ross and
Chenowith. The sessions throughout were
spirited and interesting, and attentive audi
ences. A number of resolutions were adopt
ed expressive of the sense of the convention,
believing that Sabbath Schools have been a
leading instrumentality in christianizing the
world, that such is the importance and influ
ence of Sabbath Schools that they demand the
hearty co-operation of all philanthropic and
christian people, and that every possible
means should be used for their extension and
efficiency. After passing a resolution expres
sing the thanks of the delegates to the citi
