extravagant taking in so large a field for the
subject of one letter.
RE ENLISTMENTS.
In closing this, one word more concerning
the 49th P. V. 1 have the pleasure of inform
ing you that a large portion of the old mem
bers have again exhibited their undying love
and unyielding patriotism in the cause of their
country by promptly responding to the call
for re enlistment as veffran soldiers three
years longer. Already they have been crown
ed with glory; by this time the capping sheaf
and imperishable wreath of glory and honor
has been placed upon their heads and their
names enrolled upon the records of imper
ishable fame as tho honored and bright stars
of human freedom, glorious liberty and sweet
independence.
REGIMENTAL COLORS.
To such men as these, who can describe
with what admiration and patriotic pride
they behold their bullet pierced, blood bap
tiled banner, though shriveled and torn, still
are to be seen in living letters of gold the
glorious inscription of battles through which
it has heen borne, and triumphantly waved?
the emblem of valiant actions and noble
deeds, as its blood stained fragments passed
through the battles of

than those of the 49th I'enna Vol ? Ulo

8??u NV e publish by request, a narra
tive of the 49th regiment, written by
Mr. Jacobs of Juniata county. We are
always ready to oblige our soldier
friends, but we cannot help saying that
there is and has been too much lauda
tion cf officers. They are no doubt
occasionally deserving of a favorable
notice, but too much of a good thing
is apt to destroy the best appetite.
Let us hereafter have tacts—heroic
deeds of privates, corporals, sergeants,
lieutenants, or even captains, for after
all they are the boys that do the hard
work, and whatever they do perform
enures to the credit of the higher
officers, who receive it in official re
ports, often followed by promotions.
—The extraordinary means used by
the rebels to raise another large army
compelling both old and young to go,'
or else the discovery of some trickery
of Bonaparte's, has induced the Presi
dent to issue a call for 200,000 addi
tional men
publish below the official
settlement of the State with Mifflin
count}', which is the first time we

count stood "balanced." With a little
care it can he kept so, as there is now

VVA R NEWS.
j An official despatch from Gen. Fos
| ter, dated at Knoxville, on the 29th
I ult., brings some good news from East
; Tennessee. Previous accounts report
; ed that our forces were retiring to the
j defences of the c ity, and the prospect
of the inauguration of seige
was imminent. Longstrect has a
strongly fortified position at Bull's
Gap, from which he can throw forces
i into the Tennessee valley, against
| Knoxville, with great facility. Gen.
; Foster reports that on the 23th, our
! cavalry, under Gen. Sturges, achieved
; a decided victory over the rebels near
I beeviersville, beyond the Holston river.
| McCook s Division drove the enemy
| back after a stubborn tight of two
I hours, when the rebels were routed by
a general charge, in which we captured
i two steel rifled cannon and over one
i hundred prisoners. Our cavalry were
j in pursuit.
A reconnoisanco made on the 29th
ult. from Gen. Thomas' army to Tun
nell Hill, Georgia, captured a whole
company of rebel cavalry and killed
and wounded thirty-two others. The
mass of the rebef army lately under
Bragg has been withdrawn, and it is
j said has gone either to Mobile or East
i Tennessee. It could hardly reach the
latter point whilst we hold Chattanoo
ga. An official despatch confirms the
repulse of the rebels in their attacks
on Athens and Florence, Alabama.
We have Richmond advices to 29th
ult. The news has no points of much
importance. They give intelligence
from Charleston the 28th. A des
pa'ch says the city was bombarded on
the 24th inst., at about the rate of one
shell an hour; and threo monitors were
anchored between Cumming's Point
and Fort Sumter, and, finally, that our
forces had been busily em >loved in
hauling ammunition 'to Cumming's
Point and Fort Gregg. On the night
of the 28th five shells were tired into
the city.
Ihe number of rebel prisoners in
our hands is officially stated to be three
thousand officers and between forty
three thousand men and forty-five
thousand men.
The rebels in West Virginia have
captured another of Gen. Kelly's sup
ply trains.
The propeller Tompkins, employed
in carying powder on the Potomac
river below Washington, took fire on
Thursday night at Fort Washington
and blew up with at remendous explo
sion. Iler crew escaped to the shore.
Advices from Newbern give some
interesting disclosures iu relation to
the growing discontent with the rebel
Government in Xorth Carolina. Meet
ings weie being held in different parts
of the State in favor of the calling of
a State Convention.
Extract of a letter dated Fortress Mon
roe, Jan. 25, 18t>4.
.Vrssrs. Editors Gazette We arrived
at this place on the morning of the
17th inst., and found a large and com
modious home, where we are expected j
to remain 3 years, unless sooner dis-'
charged. The quarters are part wood
with tents on top, are small, but may
he considered comfortable, the climate
being mild and pleasant. This place
differs greatly in a military point of
view from that .in the field. Military
rules and regulations are carried out
here to the very letter; in fine, this
he considered a school of instruc
tion for the full development and un
derstanding of military tactics. A
man who will apply himself to the du
ties and instructions which are dailv
imparted to him, may, with ordinary
qualifications, in three years, or a much
less time, be competent Uo hold any
commission in a regiment in the field.
It is at such places as this where the
first important principles of military I
usages are learned. To be submissive
and obedient are pre-requisites to suc
cess, add to this contentment, and this
may be considered a happy home for
the soldier. Men learn to be clean and
tidy; no tiltliiness is tolerated. To see
them on drill or dress parade is a sight
worth seeing. Every man looks clean,
his brass mounting all as bright as a
new dollar, everything indicating that
a master hand is presiding over this
important post. Col. Roberts is un
doubtedly master of the position he so
nobly maintains.
The enlistment is still progressing
slowly; there is a perceptible change
apparent in the late arrivals, a much
better class of men coming out since
the high bounties are paid in various
parts of the State. Then the conscrip
tion act brought out tine, intelligent,
highrninded men, who are filling up
the ranks of the good old 3d Pa. Ar
tillery.
Students, lawyers, doctors, and
clerks of every branch of the mercan
tile world, are found in the ranks of
this regiment. Men who have held
commissions as Captains, Lieutenants
and various prominent offices in the
field ai'e now heie as privates. Let no
one therefore think himself too good
to fall in as high private, to help swell
the ranks of the army of the Union,
to do battle for his country, as it is an
honorable and patriotic position.
Respectfully yours,
L. B. L.

The ruthless hand of wasting death,
That lays the nnghtv low.
Came forth and wove his cypress wreath,
Around fair Lizzie's brow.
They carried her in the old churchyard,
Where many a friend doth lie.
Where the old grave stones are keeping guard,
And sayiug all must die.
What spot can be more dear to me,
Than that which holds the frame
Of her so fair, and yet so free
From every eartlily stain.
But shall I wish her here again,
With me on earth to roam:
And weeping tread lifes thorny path
A stranger far from home?
Ah: no, for she that home hath gained,
Her sufferings all are o'er,
On Canaan's bright and happy plain,
She sighs and weeps no more.
And when my pilgrimage is past,
My days of sorrow o'er.
I hope to meet in heaven at last
My friend to part no more.
