re Pennsylvania's quota of the' first
-300,000 troops 'called for by the President
is reported to be nearly or entirely ftill,and
as volunteers are, we believe, to be take
and accredited ou the draft, it is thought
that prompt and vigorous efforts to secure
. voluntary enlistments from now till Sept.
Ist, will obviate the necessity - of a draftjiu l
Pennsylvatria. Every-small who 'can enlist
should be certain to do so in. this Sttite'
and in this eannty.
A practical question now presents
itself to the Men of this county. A certain
number Qftroops s must be furnished on or
before September Ist. If enough voluin
teer, they trill be accepted and paid the
'bounty and advance pay. If enough do
not volmita,r, a draft will be made, and
10) bounty given tedrafted men. There
we have the whole' question: Let thOse
who are opposed to drafting, e4ist or 4k
others to. If all take hold and do SOTlC
thirvz, the end will he accomplished., •
reerniti.mr office will be foubd
over Chandler's :Store, where-Lientenapt
\Varner -will enroll volunteers for,the witr.
,y.on get the bounty, and can .be sent into
any regiment in- the field.• .Gather up 1 0
your feelings of dilly, avarice 9 . 41 fear,and
enlist in 'double-quick time; fpr our a
tion needs more help to crush an unju4tj,
fiat le rebellion and restore Peace. Latige
Bounty 'will be paid you. But if you put

'Dear Parents :—AnOther- of- your kind
letters came this morning, giving a tempo.. -
. m..3r relief from. the tedious monotony of
:the regular routine of camp life. • This is
the sabbath again—a day fraught with the,
memories of quiet, peaceful days 'sliest ;
the Weekly return of Which was sure to
bring. with it a relief froM the interMetii
ate six day'S drudgery. But not so in these
days of -war.
,Every (Thy brings with it
,its arduous duties, which cannot beomit
ted for a moment. -We. 'Used to' haVe
Chaplain, but like many others - holding
1 1 the same • position, he has• proved himself
worthless, having joined the army for the
pay, (-t140,00- per mOuth,) instead of any
interest in -the' welfare of the soldier. In
a .majority of 'eases; I have found that
Chaplains diScharge their duties very poor
ly. I have not seen any religious service for
four months., At the same time :every
regiment is supposed to have a Chaplain,
and we 'have one, drawing pay all the
time, but I suppose ho don't think it worth
while to fool. away his time with -those
poor devils called soldiers.
But as I was about to say in the begin
ning, it would be • pleasant to exchange
the bugle blast, tho.shrill note of the fife,
and the heavy reil of-the drum,_ for' the
sound of the ehurelkbell; and the soothing
sound of church music, for a day..
Speaking of iuttsic, reminds me of the
fact, that. once we had as good music clis
imursed to us,from the regimental bands
as would grace any Community, but theSe
have nearly all vanished. We had a splen
did band attached to our regiment, but it
was niustered.out.of the service A. month
and a half ag,o. -
All. is quid along our lines as ,yet; al
though it was thought at one time last
week that a fight was on hand; and in
fackwe did have a little cannonading, but
not from the_quarter. we expects 'We
retired on Thursday night with sernething
of an expectation- to be attacked at day
light. :Suddenly we were awakened by a
tremendous.fire of artillery,. but on eom
ing to a realization of the state of things,
it was found that the fi r ing was in th,e di
rection,of the river instead ofin,our front,
and the heavy. guns-to' be from 'our fleet
on the river operating with the , loud
!no-tithed things. The cause of the -whole
fusS was this:' The rebels got their
artillery in position just opposite llitrri
'son's Landing, and had opened on our
shipping in the river, and camp on shore.
.Our gnu-boats dried them up in short or
der, since which we have heard -nothing
from them. The next day A, squad- of our
men went/overfind burned the buildings
whipiL had been used. as a sort of rendez
vous for the rebel troops.
Yoni mention of green peas almost set s
me crazy:. There is nothing I have long
ed so much for as a niess of green. peas,
served up in your style, and I'd give.a
"five green back" quick.as a %rink for just
one mess. The vegetables we get consist
of potatoes and onions, and sonnetithes
little cabbage. ' We also get dried, apples
and fresh lemons.
.
But I hope to see an end to this matter
with:time • eiiough left for a feast at the
end. Another, month I think will see the
armies in active operations, again pursu
ing the "vigorous policy.". I don't ex
pect to see the Union established in har
mony again my day, but I hope to see the
rebels subdued. As ever, affectionately

for Orange, which was occupied by - reb'els',,

town, but thought it best to 'retire, as the
rebels could in one ; hour bring a large
force into the town: We„ had driven in
their pickets. On our return we had to
swim our homes'over the river, and their
pickets followed us closely, so that when
we had all crossed the
. rivet they 'Were on
'the opposite side. ' We, however, stopped
for the night—did not unsaddle our hor,

as soon us the enemy's plaits_.were level- , -

. .
. General Butler has had a sharp corres
pondence.with General Phelps, the,latter
being the,officer who distinguished . him: -
self,by a very 'absurd (abolition) proclam
ation rn Louisiana, at an early period in
the war. Phelps,it seems,had proceeded,
without ordars, and withotit the knowl
edge-of his superior, to raise over 300 ne-.
groes, for whom he made requisition for'
clothing; eqnipage„ arms, etc., sufficient
for three_regimetits.! Upon - reeeipt of this '
Butler refused the supplies,' and directed
Phelps td employ his negroes in cutting
down certain wood- betWeeit his camp
and Late Pontchartrain, as a necessary
military -work: This . is. Thispreeisely, the kind
of-work which the negroes are required . .
-to be employed upon, by boilt the late act !
of congress and the President's orders'
based upon that Yet Phelps very in
solently objects-to this as making hint a
4 Ndave drivor,"•:and thereupon' send in his
resignation, 'and_aska to be relieved..
. To thili.General Butler again . respond s
that by the law the PreSident alone, has
the authority to, employ africans. in arms,
and that-he has indicatedno such purpoize
hi his ordet's. "lie further informs Phelps
that the arms, clothing and equipage pla
ced at his disposal for Louisiana troops,'
are express►}• limited by . the 'eta:r of the
Seery of. Wffr, to the use of white troops ;
that they cannot therefore, -be issued to
'Afridans ; that - unless the - woods are alit
dOwn by the negroes that work will have
to.be - done by his. white soldeirs, a. work
heo unwillingto employ- them• at, so
unhealthy i place-; that lie will not accept
Phelps 'resignation, mid does not gran!.
him leave , and direct( him. to "see to it"
that his o;ders - abottf.the negroes cutting
' down this Wood ; for the defence of .the
citY; are ekeented.
There the Matter stands, until General
Butler, who has sent the -correspondence.
to Washington, bears from the President.
Thus; General Butler proves hiniselt to he
