FROM MEADE'S ARMY.
WASHINGTON, August 13, 18G3
Affairs remain quiet in the army, the enemy
ttineng no desire to engage the attention of
cur pickets or to make any hostile demonstra
tion whatever. The greater portion of Lee's
nrce is south of and in the immediate vicinity
the Rapidan, though a large force is kept be
tween this river and the Rappahannock, pre
canting our scouting parties from penetrating to
any distance within their lines. It is antioi
ptted that Lee will attempt to re-enact the cam
paign of last summer, by throwing a corps via
the Mountain Gap to Gainesville or Manassas,
mid attack our rear, while the remainder of his
forces operates in front. The gaps aro all in
ittir possession, and it would not be a difficult
:natter for a large body of the rebel army to
cross the Blue Ridge at Manassas Gap and possi
bly reach Thoroughfare Gap, before our 'coin
Lunding officers could - receive intimation of
tech• a movement.
There is a considerable force of Rebel caval
ry, iu the Shenandoah valley and parties are
rossantly scouring the country towards Bull
Run Mountains. Stewart is at Culpepper Court
Souse.
No fears are entertained, however, concerning
the result of any attempt to flank us. General
Meade has disposed his forces in such a manner
to afford protection to our rear as well as the
front, 444 a repetition of Jackson's mancouver
ler could doubtless result even more Masc
ulinely to Lee than did his invading strategy.
Letter from Barell's Battery.
B.I4TDICR'B BLUFF, MISS.,
July 29th, 1803.
J. LAWRENCE GETZ
Deer Sir :—As there ere no doubt Some few
folks in Reading who are at all times anxious to
hear something of the welfare of their friends
and relatives in the army, and so little having
been said in any of the Reading papers about
the doings of our Battery, except that gleaned
from others, I have concluded to devote some
few of my leisure moments in informing them,
through the columns of your interesting and al
ways welcome paper, of our present position,
and the soldiers composing the .. Army of the
West," and how they receive Eastern soldiers.
On the 4th of June, the 9th Corps, or rather
two Divisions of it, (Ist and 2d.) were ordered
from Kunioky to reinforce Grant at Vicksburg.
'When we left that beautiful State, we did so with
willing hearts, and, of coarse, expected to be
kindly received at our destination. But we were
disappointed in coming to this conolusion. At
Helena, Ark, where Geu. Prentiss' command is
stationed, we stopped about two tours ; and no
sooner had our boat been fastened than quite a
number of soldiers gathered on the shore, we not
being allowed to leave the boat, who received us
with the following salutations: 4 . What troops ?"
Ninth Army Corps. " What do you want down
here?' .. We do not want men here who won't
fight." Where are your Pontoon Bridges ?"
- Where is your ' Little Mac ?' " " All you are
ti- for is to run and sell wooden nutmegs." I
think if we were allowed to leave the boat they
would have found out a little more than they
wished of our fighting abilities. But at this
state of the proceedings one of their men, the
only sensible one among them, appeared on our
boat and told us that the men who were casting
these insulting slurs at us had run at Fort Don-
OBOD, where Gen.. Prentiss and the greater part
of them were taken prisoners, and that since
then their ranks had been filled with Conscripts
and $2.0 men. Now it was our ti e to
grcom
mence, and we did so in right od earnest,
knocking their arguments clear id o the back
ground. Gen. Prentiss, who had been standing
by and heard all that was said, he miming in for
a good share of the ridicule, thought, I .suppose,
that it had better stop here. He stepped to the
front and said, , i he wished this atopt or he
would send the boat on the other side of the
river." The only reply lie received for his pains
were three groans. Gen. Ferrero told him the
boat would not go across the river, that his men
did not commence it. In a day or two after this
we arrived at Sherman's Landing, Louisiana.
Here we unloaded, after which we marched about
three miles to another landing, where we were
to cross and join Grant's forces in rear of Vicks
burg. After several Regiments had gone over,
the order was countermanded, and we had to
again march back to Sherman's Lauding, where
we once more loaded on steamers and were taken
about tea miles up the Voic) River to Snyder's
Bluff. Here the Infantry were immediately put
to work in building fortifications and rifle pits.
Our duty was to keep Johnston back while
Grant was operating against Vicksburg.
We remained in (lamp at the Bluff until Canna
the 27th of June, when we were ordered to move
further to the front. We marched about eight
miles in the direction of the "Big Black," and
encamped at a place called Oak Ridge. Here
we remained until the 4th of July, when we
were ordered forward again to try,_if possible,
to overtake Johnston; but as he is rather a fleet
footed gentleman, thiewsis not accomplished un
til he arrived at Jackson, where he halted on
his own accord. ills troops are nearly all Con
scripts, men who would at all times sooner run
than fight. In fact nearly all of the rebel army
here is composed of this sort of material. is it
any wonder that the Western Army is victorious
With such' poor fighting material to oppose them?
The fight at Jackson—a description of which
you will find below—is considered by them the
hardest engagement they have ever been in,
Vicksburg excepted. In my estimation, although
it lasted eix days, it was merely a skirmish. I
have been in skirmishes in Virginia which lasted
hut a few hours, where heavier firing and harder
fighting was done, than in all these six days
combined. But to give you and your readers a
better idea of the fight, I will now proceed to
give the promised description.
.I•Wday, July lOth.—This morning at daybreak
we left camp near Clinton, Miss., and after
starching wail non, heard Artilleri firing some
few miles ahead of us, and expected before night
to have some tot work to perform. The Infan
try were ordered to unsling knapsacks and
moved forward at a double quick until within
four miles of Jackson, when the column was
halted. The 45th Penna. Regiment were thrown
out as skirmishers, while the rest of our Infantty
were formed in line of Battle, the Artillery put
into position, ready to open on the "Johnnies,"
should they make their appearance. But it
seemed they were not very anxious for a fight
and retreated into their rifle pits and fortifiea
lions around the town without bring a shot. At
about one mile's distance from the town, is lima
ted the State Insane Asylum, in passing which
our skirmishers noticed .the Rebel colors flying
from the flag-staff on its dome. This of course
soon came down, and the colors of the Vith were
substituted in its stead. This is called the first
day's fight, nothing more being done but moving
our Infantry to the front, while the Artillery re
mained encamped for the night in the Asylum
grounds.
Saturday, July Mk—This mornini, the In- ,
fantry Snug for about half an hour was pretty
severe, and bid fair to terminate in a general
engagement before night, but this did not take
place, the " reba" preferring to remain behind
their entrenchments, and for the rest of the day,
although the two armies lay within a hundred
yards of each other, but fewithots were fired,
except an occasional one fronv.our sharpshooters
who had posted themselves upon trees to pick
off some of flue most daring of the " Johnnies,"
who it seems appeared anxious to see how mat
to& progrettand on our side. Whenever a head
appeared above the entrenchments, there were
at least a dozen Shots fired, generally bringing
the fellow down. While the Infantry firing was
going on this morning, the Artillery were as
signed their positions, our Battery being placed
in a peach orchard near the Asylum. Acre we
remained all day without firing a gnu, odr posi
tion not being very commanding. In the even
ing we had a " right smart" shower.
Stmdsp, Tray 120.—We remained in this peach
orchard until 8 A. hl , when we were compelled
to leave, as the shells fired from one of our own
Batteries were bursting ratiusti.pn near foe our
liking, antLif.xotialinbi#4 letienetrupOn the
l
1'
enemy from our positio4 . fcti not have done
Ii
them any serious damage. ; Batteries that
were fortunate enough to get g, i
-positions kept
firing upon the town pretty lively, until they re
ceived orders to cease, as they were not yet
ready for an attack on the right.
Monday, July 13th.—This morning we were
called out before day-break and ordered to har
ness and be.ready to move at a moment's notice.
Gen. Parks, our Corps General, had received in
formation from some one that the enemy were
concentrating their forces in our front, for the
purpose, no doubt, of attempting to drive us
back. But when daylight made its appearance,
this was found to be a mistake, and we were or
dered to again unhitch. The "rebs" kept tan
talizing us during the day by throwing an occa
sional shot into our camp, but doing no damage.
This evening we had a "General Order" read CO
us, confirming the defeat and utter rout of Gen.
Lee's army at Gettysburg, by our forces under
Gen. Meade. This was very encouraging news,
and was received with load applause.
Tuisday, July 14th.—Very tittle firing during
the day. The "robs" still kept throwing a nee
oasional shell into oar Battery. This evening,
one of' our guns, (No. 3, Sergi. Sailor,) was or
dered to the front and put into position. The
orders are to fire day and night at the rate of
one shot every five minutes._ The troops in the
field are suffering very much for the want of
water. The nearest they have is two miles dis
tant, and even after going this distance for it,
it is of so poor a quality (cistern water) that
most of those who drink it get very sick—in fact,
it is nothing but good stagnant water.
Wednesday, July 13th--At 3 P. M. today, the
Infantry had another pretty heavy engagement,
of about fifteen minutes' duration. Our " boys"
attempted to take the first line of rifle-pits, and
after several unsuccessful attempts were com
pelled to retire. At one place our "boys" have
quite a novel way of advancing upon these tie&
pits. They have, for two miles in front of their
line of battle, cotton bales placed, which when
they remain idle answer very well for breast.
works ; and whenever the command to advance
is given, the cotton bales are rolled forward,
protecting our "boys" from the singing " Ma
nias" and the deadly and destruotive "grape and
canister." This evening, No. 1 gun, Sergt.
Bouse, to which I am attached, was ordered to
relieve our other piece, which had been firing all
day and the night previous.
Thursday, Jul 16th.—To Any we had another
pretty severe - ' Infantry fight, when we gained
the first line of rifle-pits, and took 14 prisoners
out of them. The enemy's guns kept throwing
canister into our "boys" while they charged,
but nothing daunted, on they went until they
had gained the object they were in pursuit Of.
They fired a "right smart" lot of their 84 and
42 pounder shells at our piece, none of which
exploded, and upon examination were found to
be filled with clay instead of powder. At 6P.
M. this evening we were relieved and returned
to camp, having fired 73 rounds. Heavy siege
guns have been planted to-day on the right,
which will be opened upon the town and fortifi
cations,
Friday, July 17 th...-19 hen we arose this morn
ing it was with the expectation of hearing a
heavy cannonade upon the town, but imagine
onr surprise when we were informed that John
ston had ...skedaddled" during the night. The
36th Massachusetts and 50th Pennsylvania, of
the 2d Division of our Corps, were the first in
the town, and followed the " rebs" as far as the
Pearl River, and succeeded in capturing several
hundred of them. Shortly after it became known
that the town had been taken, large crowds of
officers and privatei (I, of Coarse, being among
the latter) flocked there to see the sights. At
the entrance of the town was located the princi
pal fort. of the Rebels, formed out of cotton bales,
but which had been partly destroyed by them
before leaving. The town was almost entirely
deserted, our " boys" having possession of the
houses, which they ransacked from cellar to gar
ret. Furniture, beds and bedding, hogsheads
of rice, sugar, molasses, beans, and tobacco,
were rolled out of the ware hoimes into the
streets, when the "boys" had a general pitch in,
s and by the time the guards made their appear
ance, but little remained. The houses on the
Main street were completely riddled with shell
and ball. The "robs, to avoid being hit by our
shale, had dug holes in the ground, into which
they crawled at night.
I When I quite a large fire was raging in
the town, and ere many more hours have elapsed
lam afraid but few houses will be left standing
to mark the spot where Jackson once stood.
We remained encamped near Jackson, Miss.,
nntil Monday. the 20th inst., when we reettived
oirdertito return to this place, via Brownsville,
where, after a march of about four days, through
clouds of dust and a scorching sun, we arrived
and want into camp about two miles from the
Yazoo River, were we are awaiting the arrival
of transports , tr carry us back to Kentucky.

Letter from Caernarvon Township.
CARNARVON, August 4, 1868
Mr. Editor
The farmers through this valley are about
finishing their harvest. The wheat prop is bet
ter than it has been for twenty years—much of
it will yield thirty bushels to the acre. The oat
crop is very light.
Quite a bustle has been created throughout
this township for the last few days, in conse—
quence of the Militia returning to Reading, one
company in the 42d Regiment being well repre
sented from this township—Caps. Barclay's,
Mrmerly Captain (now Major) Bentley Smith's.
When the news reached here that the 42d was
in Reading, the friends of those from this place
were under the impression that the Regiment
had returned to - be mustered out; but it appears
from late reports, that they will be held some
days longer. The boys of the 42d have seen
hardaervice during their march from Reading
to Hagerstown, and back again.
Quite an excitement took place a few days
since in our neighboring village, Churchtown.
It appears that some two or three men were ar
rested by s squad of soldiers last Friday for be
ing •• disloyal;" they were taken to Lancaster
city, and from there to Philadelphia; from whieh
place they returned home on Saturday. The
above proceedings created quite an excitement
in and around the above-named village. It was
reported here on Sunday that a company of eel
diens had been scut from Lancaster city on Sat
urday evening to quell the tumult. On Sunday
evening a report reached us, that a number of
men were throwing up intrenohments back of
Churchtown. As Cternaryon, Berke, joins ewe
'turret', Lancaster, the citizens of this township
became somewhat anxious to know the result.
Several young men of our township repaired to
the border, expecting to see the Union pickets—
and no doubt bear the booming of osuntalli—all
Was intense anxiety. Up to a late hour on Bun•
day evening, no messenger reached us. It was
thought,, that reconnoitering • was going on all
Sunday night. Monday, 830 A. M.—A courier
bas-just arrived, stating that "all is quiet along
the front" Monday, 6.30 P. 111.—A gentleman
has just come in from the front, and said the
enemy withdrew in confusion. 'Before leaving,
they sent in a nag of truce, asking for twenty—
three minutes to get those out of the intrench—
ments that were frightened so badly, that they
could not get away before the Union forces would
come upon them. It was not granted. No
wounded fell into our hands. It is supposed the
enemy carried their wounded of under cover of
darkness. Tuesday, 7.16 A. IL—A dispatch
hittijust been received by one of our prominent
citizens, which states that the Union forces have
returned to their head•quarters at Lancaster city,
after routing the enemy at every point.

ion of the public:
Circular Provost Marshal Generate Office,
No. 47. Washington, D. C., July 17, 'ea. 5
I. Drafted men become soldiers in the service of the
United Stales by theffact of their names having been drawn
in the draft. The notifieation served upon them by the
Provost Marshal, is merely an announcement of the fact,
and an order for lawn so report fur duty, at a designated
time and place.
11. The following opinion of the Eton. William Whiting,
Solicitor of the War Department, is published for the in
formation of all concerned: When a person hasbeen draft- •
ed, in pursuance of the enrollment act of Mara. 3, 1868,
notice of such draft must be served within ten days there
after, by a - written or printed notice,:to be served on bins
Dominant! or by leaving a copy at kis fast place of met
dence, requiring him to appear at a designated rendesvuus
to report for duty. Any person failing to reftort for duty
after notice /4/at his loot place of residence, or. served on
him personally, without furnishing a substitute or paying
$3OO, is pronounced by law to be a deserter; he may be
arrested and held for trial by court martial and oentt-need
to death.
If a person, after being drafted, and before receiving
notice, deserts, the notice may still be served by leaving It
at his last place of residence, and if be does not appear in
accordance with the notice, or (twat eh the sebstitute or pay
the .300, he will be in law a deserter and most be treated
accordingly. There is no way or Manner in which a per
son, once enrolled, can escape his public duties, and when
drafted, whether present or absent, whether he changes his
residence or absconds, the rights of the United States
against him are moored and It is only by performance of
his duty to the country, that he will escape liability to he
traded. as a criminal.
