PEOPLE'S
COW MENTION.
The citizens of Mifflin County who are
in favor of giving the National and State
Governments a firm and unequivocal sup
port in their patriotic efforts to crush the
infamous rebellion of Davis, Breckinridge,
Cobb, Floyd, Thompson and their cut
throats, are invited to meet at the usual
"places in their respective townships and
boroughs, on
SATURDAY, August 23, 1862,
between the hours of one and four o'clock
p. iu., and elect TWO DELEGATES
from each district to meet in county con
vention in Lewistown on Tuesday, August
26th. By order of County Committee,
GEORGE IRYSINGER, Chairman.
LewistowD, August 6, 1862.
ttaT"To make room for some letters from
the army, we omit several articles prepared
for to-day's paper.
PAY AND BOUNTY FOR DF.CF.ASED SOL
DIERS. —The Pennsylvania Relief Associa
tion, owing to the fact that agents charge
heavy fees for obtaining arrears of pay and
bounty for deceased soldiers, has requested
J. A. A\ illiamson, Esq., (son-in-law of Rev.
Dr. Woods, deceased,) to attend to this
business, and that gentleman has patrioti
cally consented to do so without chary,-.
Heirs of deceased soldiers can therefore
address "J. A. Williamson, Esq., Pay and
Bounty Agent Pcnn. Relief Association,
Washington City, I). C.," with the assu
rance that the widow and fatherless will be
protected in all their rights. Our exchan
ges will we hope make this generous offer
known.
LECTURES. —We understand that Dr.
Johnson, President of Dickinson College,
delivers an address before the Teachers
Institute, this (Wednesday) evening; also,
that a Lecture will be given before the
same bohy on Friday evening of this week
by Mr. Shumaker, Principle of Tuscarora
Academy. To those who know the abil
ity and cilture of those gentlemen, we
need offer no advice, to be sure to atlend.
lor the credit of the town, we hope the
I own Hall may be filled on both occasions.
ANOTHER WAR MEETING.—A meeting
was held in the Town Hall on Monday
evening, for the purpose of inducing the
•commissioners to extend the §SO bounty to
;the men enlisted in the service under
Messrs. Soult and Swan, and to all others
who may enlist previous to a draft. A
committee was appointed to call the com
missioners together (this afternoon we be
lieve.) Rev. Dr. I. W. Wiley, during the
evening, made an eloquent address, replete
with patriotism. This gentleman, for years
a missionary to China, is one of those who
can far better estimate the importance of
°or nationality than our own citizens, who
have lived under the protecting wings of
. l -' 8 great government, perhaps too callous
its beneficent rule. Ilia words we trust
have fallen into fruitful soil. The follow
•ng were the officers of the meeting:
President—Wm. P. Elliott, Esq.
Vice Presidents—Gen. James Burns,
Geo. W. Wiley, N. J. Rudisill, E. L. Ben
edict, R. H. McClintic, Maj. D. Eisenbise,
James McCord, and Wm. B. Hoffman.
Secretaries—Wm Lind, L. J. Elberty,
Leo. Allen, and Henry Frysinger.
e arc pleased to learn that Edward
T- Swain, of this place, has been promoted
to 2d Lieutenancy ot Company K, Capt.
-Niece, 49th regiment, for meritorious con
duct.
THE LOGAN GUARDS.— In the terrible
charge made at Cedar Mountain, this com
pany, the right of the regiment, suffered
severely, having lost about 20 men out of
some 50 in the battle. No authentic list
has yet been furnished of the killed, wound
ed and missing, and we are therefore com
pelled to gather from vaiious sources such
information as has come to hand.
Capt. H. A. Eisenbise is believed to be
wounded and a prisoner.
Lieut. Crawford Selheimer (brc tber of
Col. John B ,) is also supposed to b?wound
ed and a prisoner.
Seigeant John M. Nolte is shot in the
thigh, and is now under care of Dr. Wor
rall, at Alexandria.
James San ford, shot through the cheek,
Calvin Selheimer, (son of Jchn Selhei
mer) has two or three fingers shot off.
Henry Printz, son of Peter, is wounded
in the abdomen, the ball passing outattbe
side.
The remaining wounded are, C. Ilotstine,
A. M. Kreps, Samuel Myers, Henry Spit
er whom we believe are at Alex
andria.
hether the members reported missing,
are killed or taken prisoners we have no
means of ascertaining at present, although
it is now believed that most if not all are
prisoners, as none of the Logans were rec
ognized among the dead on the field.
Col. Knipe was hit on the head, the mis
sile passing over his head, has a wound in
the hand, and we believe is injured slight
ly ou the hip. We saw him at Harrisburg
last week, as cheerful as if at the head of
his gallaut regiment.
Major Matthews, wc are pleased to say,
instead of having his arm shot off, is like
ly to recover it and yet deal some blows at
rebeldom. lie was struck on the right
arm, a little below the elbow, the ball cut
ting through the flesh and muscles, but not
injuring the bone. His horse was struck
at the same time, threw him off, ran a short
distance, and then fell pierced by four bul
lets. The Major is now at home on fur
lough, but anxious to go back and take with
him to Ilarrisburg any recruits who may
wick to enter the Logan Guards.
The following letter, received last even
•ng> gives authentic particulars relative to
the killed, &c., in the Logan Guards:
CAMP SCAR CCLPSPER, August 15,1862
Friend frysittger—Not having seen your ever-ae->
ceptabie paper for some weeks, and wishing you to
have some idea of what we are doing, as well as to let
our friends at home know who of us are left since our
late engagement, 1 send the following statement.
We have been marching preity steadily since you
last heard front us in our retreat from Winchester,
having been on teconnoisanees and other duty until
wo arrived at this place, where wc lay for some dine
idle, having nothing but camp rind picket duty to do.
Last I* riday the order outnc to get ready to move in
an hour. Our cavalry pickets had been driven in
from Madison, and in haif that time our brigade was
moving. We marched about seven miles front Cul
pepcr to Cedar linn, and bivouacked that night in a
woods about a mile from where Jackson had taken
up a strong position. In the morning, having been
reinforced, vvc formed a line, and about dinner lime
the "ball was onened" between the artillery on both
sides. This continued until about three in the after
noon, when our brigade was moved forward, ami it
was determined to charge a battery that was giving
our line considerable trouble. Our btigade was se
lected for that purpose, and our regiment to lead the
charge. We did charge, and gallantly too, but we met
overwhelming numbers of the enemy, and although
we drove those immediately opposed to us to a dis
graceful flight, fresh regiments and brigades were
moved up, aud when " terribly cut up." as the papers
say, we had to fall back, disputing the ground inch by
inch. Our regiment, as well s the brigade, suffered
severely. \V'e have but one field officer left, Lt. Col.
Selfridge. Our Colonel, the brave and galiant Knipe,
and our Major, loved by all the regiment—the kind
aud considerate Major Mathews—had to leave the
field with a severe wound in the anil. They have both
gone home, and 1 know they have the earnest, hear.-
felt wishes of all, not only in the regiment, but in the
whole brigade, for their speedy recovery and return
to us. Our company lost, in killed, wounded and
missing, as follows:

This is a full list of killed, woundod and missing
from our company. The absence of these men, with
whom we have associated as brothers for almost a
year, naturally makes us sad, but notwithstanding all
this, we feel ready to give them battle whenever it
shall please Providence to bring us face to face with
them in honorable combat. We are now in the camp
in which we were when we received orders to move.
What will be done with us 1 cannot say. but I think
our story sheuld fire the heart of every young man
at home, and cause him to enlist, without wait ; ng for
the draft. Send us your paper often. Direct it to
Co. A., and I assure yor it will be gladly received. I
will close for this time, and if anything occurs worthy
of notice you will hear again from
LOGAN.
A letter from Dr. Worrall of the Prince
street Hospital, Alexandria, says the men
will as a general thing do well. John M.
Nolte and some others of the Logans are
under his charge, and we have no doubt
our old friend will do bis best to restore all
in his hands to good health. But for the
the fact of our going to press earlier than
usual last week, his letter would have ap
peared in the Gazette.

August 15th, 1862. ' j
T the Lewistown Gazette of
July 30, I noticed a letter from Culpeper, Va.
signed "Logan," in which Capt. J. P. Taylor's
cavalry company, composed generally of Mif
flip county s sons, was noticed in very com
plimentary terms. " Logan" said, "if their
future proved as flattering as their past. Mif
flin county might proudly boast of the caval
, ry company she had furnished."

' " ICA ° om P an y since last Thursday, August
7, 100-, and leave your readers to judge
whether their conduct since that time is com
mendable or not.
1 he Ist Penna. cavalry has been doing pick
| ei " ut y on the Rapidan river for some three
weeks. And on last Thursday evening our
; pickets were compelled to fall back a short
distance, but reinforcements coming up our
position was held until Friday morning earlv,
when it was ascertained the enemy had cros
; sed the river in force, say 40,000,' and itnme
i dmtely opened fire on our outposts. Brig.
: Gen. Bayard rode up to Captain Taylor and
j said he wanted him to cover our retreat with
I his company. The Captain immediately de
i ployed his company in front of the woods
I from which the enemy were forcing, and
j opened briskly upon them inasmuch &s they
were compelled to fall back some distance.
Corporal Christian Romick here received a
ball, passing through his right shoulder, dis
abling him. and he was obliged to retire from
the field. We were then ordered to fall back
about three hundred yards, which was done
in good order, and poured a deadly fire into
the advancing column of the enemy, holding
them at bay for over an hour, when they
opened on us a battery of artillery, pouring
grape and shell into our ranks, when we were
again ordered to fall back. Corporal Abner
N. McDonald here received a severe wound in
the left arm and side, from which he died this
morning, iu Culpeper. We fell back gradu
ally until meeting reinforcements, when the
firing ceased for the day.

triend, Gazette. —Talk about the Sunny
South and its beauties. If poets can sing of
the sunny south, and laud it, its more than
soldiers could do for the last week; it is
; sunny" enough to satisfy the most fastid
ious on that point. There is too much sun to
make us feel very comfortable. Well rythm
makers can sing away, but soldiers cannot
see anything in the " Sunny South" to sing
about. They can curse it, and that most
roundly two. Tho sun has a white heat on
it from about 8 o'clock A. M. until about 5
o'clock P. M. If it is any hotter further
south, I hope we will not have to travel that
way until it gets cooler. Through the day it
is almost impossible to do the duties required
of us on account of the great heat, and the
nights, " Oh Dear," the musquitoes, why they
annoy us more than the rebs do at this time.
When one lies dowu, he will console himself
with the idea of getting a good nights sleep ;
but no sooner does a poor mortal get fixed as
comfortable as he can be on the hard ground,
than these pests sharpen their bills and charge
on him ; after fighting them as long as we
cau, we surrender. They general beat us,
though we do get ahead of them sometimes
bv changing our " Base of Operations" or by
a "Great Strategic Movement." When cov
ered with a woollen blanket they will bite
through it; but the way to beat them is, to
change it for a gum blanket—that will beat
tbem. They dont understand that "move
ment" at all. They will charge on it all the
same, but it is no go as they cant get through.
You are safe then from their attacks, but
you are apt to roast. So it goes, and we are
annoyed day and night—by the ■ '
the day, and the rousquitoes at night "No
rest for soldiers."
j So there is to be men drafted to fill up our
depleted ranks. _ bo be it We are glad of it,
and if it only brings those who ought to have
been here, we will be better satisfied. Since a
| draft was ordered, we have heard that in cer
tain parts of M.ffl.n county of men being in
very delicate health who were never known
to be B'ok before, and others afflicted with
■ larue ]' a cks, rheumatism, neuralgia, bad teeth.
I l .>° M ln * e that flesh is heir to."
1 oor men, they ought to have some of the doc-
I tors we have to give them medicine. Well
as I have got to the Surgeons I may as well
; give them their due. Generally they have
but two remedies t give for all diseases, to
! **■' . i! St^ r i Q uinin e : If a man is
j afflicted with the diarrhoea, they will give him
: quinine; rheumatism, quinine ; typhoid fever,
quinine; a severe cough, quinine ; debility,
quinine ; if exhausted and worn out, very
: hkely they will give him a dose of castor oil,
j but quinine is the sovereign remedy for near
ly all the iils a soldier is subject to. Ido
| "°tsay that all surgeonsare careless and indif
j forent; there are many noble exceptions, but
I a good many are not fit to doctor a dog, much j
i less men, especially thoso who volunteered
I with the expectation of being attended to
when sick. I have seen men go to the sur
; gem of a regiment scarcely able to walk,
; (they were good soldiers, and good eitizens
i w hen at home,) to see if he would not do
( something for them. Well, he might conde
scend to give them a dose of oil, and he might
not, just as he pleased. And I have known
an instance of a poor teliow suffering with
the consumption, whom the surgeon had on
his list, and ordered him to return to duty
one morning; ho was near his end then, for
he died beforo night the same day he was
ordered to go on duty. These things are so.
Blett, Geo. Scott, and A. Carson of the
Buektails, have arrived from Richmond,
whither they went on the 27th Jan. in ad
vance of the ;• Grand Army." They have
paid us a visit since coining down the riv
er. James Ilassinger of our company re
turned also last week from Richmond. 'i*hey
do not look much worse for serving in Rebel
dom. Our Colonel returned on last Saturday
a good deal recruited in health. Tho Grand
movement has not began yet—but it will—
just wait—" yes," wait.

The following letter from an invalid
in the hospital to Miss Jane Barr, a relative,
will be read with interest. The writer is
from Clarion county.
GENERAL HOSPITAL, PORTSMOUTH, VA., \
August 3d, 1862. J
You have likely thought strange of me in
not answering ere this, your last kind and
interesting letter to me, which I received on
the evening of the 24th June. I was proud
of that letter, in the first place, on account of
your patriotism, and secondly, because the
whole tenor of it was calculated to inspire
with new energy the drooping and careworn
soldier. When I received your letter our reg
iment was encamped at Mechanicsville, in
front of and about five miles from the city of
Richmond. I viewed from the roof of a house
in the village (with my spy glass) the steeples
and spires of the rebel capital glittering in
the sun, and expected soon to be with our
veteran army walking the streets of the doom
ed metropolis, under the stars and stripes of
our country. Our division (Gen. McCalPs)
occupied the right of our whole line, on the
25th of June. We saw the enemy were re
ceiving strong reinforcements, and also show-
Ed signs of au attack, yet all remained quiet
through the night. But on the morning of
! June llGth the enemy was In strong numbers
j on our front, and they seemed to be actively
• engaged, yet not a gun broke the perfect si
! lence which prevailed. The morning was a
beautiful one. Tho sun shone in beauty, and
a very 000 l refreshing breeze was blowing
from the south east. Our line of battle was
formed at about 10 a. m., yet all was quiet,
and remained so until 3 p. m., when the ene
my opened upon us from several batteries,
throwing shell and solid ball into our vicinity.
They were immediately replied to from our
batteries, and in less than one minute, I think,
a perfect line of artillery opened up their
'deafening thunder, and from 3 until nine p.
m. a most desperate artillery fight was kept
up. At first their firing was too high and
done us no injury; but it was not long until
their shell began to alight all around us, and
in our very ranks, killing a good many men;
this was about 4p. m. The dreadful roar of
infantry burst upon our ears, which ran along
our lines, and the enemy seemed to move in
solid column towards us, but the awful volleys
of grape and cannister from our batteries and
the powerful volleys from our infantry, pour
ed into their ranks in quick succession, at
length caused them to waver and fall back
under our withering fire. But soon they ral
lied, and made another effort on our left, to j
force us from our rifle pits, but could not do
it, and night coming on the work of death
was stopped, and all lay on their arms, ready
to renew the attack at any moment. By this
time we were supported by Porter and Smith,
(our division now belongs to Gen. Porter's
corps d' armee) and at early dawn the enemy
again opened upon us, being June 27, But
our army had orders to fall back to Gaines'
Hill, and there again form line of battle—our
forces now were about twenty-five thousand
men. Our whole retreat to the new line was
in perfect good order. The enemy followed
us promptly, and formed their line of battle,
and at 3 o'clock p. m. the thundetof artillery
again belched forth from both lanes of battle,
and from that until 9 o'clock, at night raged
one of the fiercest and most powerfully fought
battles ever fought on this continent. The
two armies approached each other to within
a distance of about fifty yards, when they
seemed to both come to a stand, and there for
four long hours fought face to face. At dif
ferent times charges were made from both
armies, when they would again be repulsed
and a hand to hamd conflict would follow; and
during each yolley hundreds fell in the ranks
of both armies. At 5 o'clock I was brought
to the ground. Our Captain had been sick
and could not keep with the company, and
our Ist Lieut, led them gallantly forward,
until he fell, s'not through the leg, when com
mand fell on me. I sprang before the compa
ny and urged them to follew me, and I think
it was not a minute until a rebel officer called
at me to halt, and fired at me with his revol-
V rf'i „ me ' n the left wrist. I had my
j ' * n m y hand; I leveled it at his breast
and fired; he threw both hands over his head
and fell to the ground dead. Our lines were
now not more than fifteen paces apart, and I
was getting faint from the loss of an d

my company since. We had 64 men who

we have but 32 in the company. I waß i oad .
Ed in an ambulance after the battle, and after
a long and wearisome trip arrived at Harri
son's Landing, on James river, where I got
: on a boat and arrived here on the 4th of July
i being nearly done out, and having lain in my
own blood all that time, as my clothes were
saturated. I have been well taken care of,
and am now recovering fast. My left leg is
quite stiff, and I fear will be so for some time,
but I think it will all be right in course of
time. I want to get home as sooa as I can,
but I can't tell when it will be.
I think our veteran army was really bapti
zed with lire and blood during the seven days'
battles. Our loss was heavy, but not to be
compared with the loss of the enemy
rhis hospital is located on the Elizabeth river.
I lie cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth are both
in full view from here. They are fine looking
places, yet I have not been able to travel suf
ficient to go to either place. I have been
down stairs a few times, but it is very difficult'
tor me to get up again, so that I seldom go
down. Ihe hospital is about half a mile
ajove the blockade of the Elizabeth river,
where the rebel gunboat Merrimac had her
position The entrance through the blockade ;
was very narrow, and the Merrimac's position
was just inside of and above the entrance. I
can see the spot she sunk from my window.
I must close for the present. You will excuse
the bad writing &c., of this letter, for I am
very nervous and also pretty weak, at pros
ent. But I hope 1 will soon recover and get
to my home, until I am able to return to duty
in the held, which I hope will be soon. Give
my love to your father, and all inquiring
mends, and accept my kindest regards.

To the Ladies of McVeytown and vicinity :
The McVeytown representatives of Capt.
I atton's company having received from these
ladies a sufficient number of haversacks to
supply the mess, take this opportunity to
thank them tor this expression of interest in
the welfare of those who battle for the public
good. These haversacks contained many of
those little conveniences that are so essential
to comfort in camp, and yet so difficult to pro
cure there.
We do not claim for these ladies any pre
eminence in patriotism, yet we do think the
recipients of these gifts will always bold in
special remembrance these acts of kindness.
Such a watchful care to anticipate our wants
we take as the index of a lively interest in
our country's cause. A shrewd observer re
marked, "allow me to make the ballads of a
people and I care not who makes the laws."
With as much propriety we may say: tell us
tho spirit of the women of a land, and we will
tell you the power of that country to repel
foes from abroad or overthrow rebellion at
home. Onr highest pride shall be to support
the government under whose mild rule our
country has passed almost a century of unex
ampled prosperity, and to sustain the high
opinion you seem to have formed of the sons
