Clinton, 8. C, Nov. 13. Wo are now In tho land 'Where Klnp Cotton rules supreme, undisturbed, unchallenged. Atter having paused beyond Richmond nt 1- o'clock last nlnht, the members of the regiment went to sleep and nwoko this morning at a quarter nfter sl, Just as the train was leaving Wol don, a city located In North Carolina, and a short dlstnnre from the Virginia rtatc line. Thence we procoedod to Klttcrell and to Raleigh, the state capital, which was reached at 8 o'clock. Here sandwiches were served and later on coffee nt Hanford station. The repast was enjoyed as nil felt hungry nntl refreshed nfter tho night's sleep. The coffee Is supplied at regular In tervals and ordera for the ynme nro sent a few hours ahead by telegraph. There Is no complaint against the sup ply tf rations. At 10.30 Southern I'lnes was reached: the Peede rlvrr crossed at 12.1R r.nd W'ndesboro ontored soon after. Wo crossed the state line Into Hoi'th Car olina nt 1.15 p. in., pnssed over th Catawba river at 2.11 entering the town of Rockvllle ut 2.!0. Wc hove been making good time right along from Washington, D. C, to Raleigh, N. C. An average speed of over twenty-four mile an hour wa3 attained, and this rale has practically been kept up con tinually. As a result It is calculated that the regiment will reach Its des tination some time tonight or early tomorrow morning and march to Its vamp grounds after breakfast. LnFT THE MAIN LINK. At Richmond we left the main line nf the railroad. The country is beau tiful In u way. It is picturesque in its sameness, in its desolnteness, In Its vast extent of territory, without hill or vale, uncultivated, and apparently Rtlll untrodden by the foot of man. One sees only fields of cotton and vast, limitless tracts tilled and cultivated by the Creator's hands and d( void of human habitation. The vlilte people seem to be iinisi blf to tho naked eye, and the colored man reigns in his original typical cle ment. The climate during the day at least Is perceptibly warmer than it was at Camp Meade. Only one case of sickness has so far developed and that Is slight. This is nn exceptional rec ord, which gives general satisfaction. especially to Major Keller, the ohief of medical staff. Every emergency has been provided, rarh section having a hospital car with ten beds, cooking utensils mid food, and medical and surgical chests. Tii.T Thirteenth has been paid the high est compliments. Majo.' Fellows this morning inform ed Tho Tribune oorrcspojulcnt thnl.

Ct&&z Fur Beauty at Its Best-here The added touch of frost in the air and our previous announcement of THE FUR CARNIVAL, brought throngs of admiring visitors to this store during last week's latter three days.

Somewhat similar compli ments have been gratuitously paid it, all along tho line by railroad oniclals They inquired what that orderly, well behaved regiment was. It Is now B.30 p. in. We have reached Clinton, S. C, and all are well, no mishaps whatso ever. Wo are now eighty miles from Augusta, Ga. LAST NIGHT IN CAMP. After having sDont tvi months nnd thirteen days, or from And Including Sept. 1 till yesterday, nt Camp Meade, the Thirteenth struck tents yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. The history of the regiment came near repeating Itself as to the rain question. At 7 o'clock In the evening of the last day spent at Mlddletown, It began to rain, and a very line, slight shower was falling nt 8 o'clock when the boys fell In for what they consider and hope will be the lost roll call which they will have to an swer on the soil of the Keystone state. Tho prospect of rising for reveille at 3 o'clock and of several hours of hard work thereafter, ucted as a very strong Inducement for the boys to go to sleep ns soon after taps as possible; and nt S.30 nil had turned In with gloomy fore bodings of the morning. Tho clouds were heavy and lowering, nnd n down pour, by no means the first tire regi ment has had since it went Into tho service of the United States, was im minent. Visions ot bud roads, wet tents to be rolled In the rain and drenching showers acted like n nlghtmnro on the boys. They were pleasingly disap pointed nnd surprised, however, when In the early morning they had to pack their knapsacks and haversacks, to po lice tho streets, to roll their tents nnd load tho army wagons by the light ot blazing bonfires, which brightened up tho entire camp and turned night Into day. Very little rain has fallen since taps, and as the dawn became by de grees more perceptible, It was seen that the day would be pleasant. This made everybody happy. The result was sim ply amazing, for, In less than three hours nfter the men had been roused from their bunks, they had cooked and eaten their breakfast, every strip of canvas was taken down and rolled, tent lloors piled In place, the company streets policed, nil refuse burned and the wagons bearing tho camp equlp pagc to tho sidings at the commissary camp had In fact disappeared, ORDER TO MOVE. Colonel Coursen gave the order to move promptly at S o'clock, and on tho moment the regiment began the three mile march to tho train, arriving at Its destination a few minutes after 9. It took a very short time to unload the baggage from the wagons to the freight cars, and nt 11 o'clock the three trains bearing tho regiment In its entirety were speeding on their way to High spire, to Stcelton, to Harrlsburg. Colonel Coursen once more came to the rescue of the men of his command on this occasion. Knowing that the men were tired nnd their knansae'es heavy on account of tho extra supply of winter clothing which had to be used at Camp Meade, and at the same time appreciating the long walk and tho three Inches of mud which covered the roads, the colonel thought it advis able to save tho boys as much ns pos sible, and accordingly ordered their knapsackH to be loaded Into wagons and carried to the train. This consid erate act was duly appreciated and all feel much better in consequence: us, otherwise, they would be pretty badlv used up. Wore It not for the delny in removing knapsacks the loglmciit could havo left an hour before time. Sunday night the following impor tant speclnl order, governing the care and general conduct of the reclinent during Its trip to the South was Issued and published at roll call to each com pany; Headquarters 13th, Regi..

For tho purpose of transpoitlng, tlm regiment will he divided Into tlm.e sec tions, namely : SECTION COMMANUEHS.

They will ho relieved from such duty upon tho nrrlv.il of tho regiment at the camp grounds In Georgia. The commanding oillcer wf .ach section will arrange to have n guaid stationed at tho ends of each car at all times and will detail nn oillcer as commander of such guard. The guards will not allow enlisted men to leave, the curs without permission from tho commander of the sictlon, and then such enlisted men must lie accompanied by a non-commissioned oillcer, jfo smok ing or noise will bo allowed on the cars after lo o'clock p. m. At all stop.? mndo by tho train an oft! eer must remain with each company dur. Inir the entire stop. Hy order of Henry A. Coursen. Colonel. The purpose of this order, which Is quite complete. Is plain. It will in sure tho comfort of tho men nnd at the same time prevent the possibility of leaving anybody behind at uny of the stopping places. This Is all the mote necessary, as It Is proposed to have as many as possible present and In good health at the next comp. There aro a few now absent tho results of pay day. the men having received their month's stipend Suturdny. nova much pijUaskd Tho boys are much pleased with their treatment on tho present trip. They have been nllowed to take with them the spring bed3 and bunks which they havo been using for tho past two months. At first It was supposed that they would have to leave them behind and thus be compelled to sleep on the ground for some time aftpr having reached their Southern camp, but this dlfllcultv wud tided over. Hnlf n car was allowed to each company for bag gage, and this was sufficient to accom modate not only the regular company baggage, but nlso the bunks of Indi vidual members. This arrangement gives general satisfaction. In addition to this tho condition of the cars In which the men nro uuar tercd makes the trip to Georgia qulto plcnsnnt. Monday afternoon many of tho bovs of the Thirteenth went lo Hnrrisburg, Mlddletown, Hlghsplre, fltcelton nnd Hummclstown to pay a farewell visit to acquaintances or friends, nnd spent a pleasant day. The regiment broko camp nnd left Its Pennsylvania home, bringing with it the good will nnd the best wishes of tho people of the neigh borhood. The boys liked Camp Meade, and wished to leave It only In self-defense against the severe rold. It was once the land of promise to them, when they had left tho pest holes of Vir ginia and gavo them back In ten-fold measure the health which they had lost In tho "Old Dominion." Camp Meade was cold, but still the boys have In their hcnrls a very warm spot for It nnd this feeling Is shared In no less by tho troops from other states than by the soldiers of Pennsylvania Itself.

Those who were guilty of tampering with the ballot boxes after the elec tion of last spring, for the purpose of ascertaining how certain of our cit izens voted, are beginning to cituiko In their shoes, when they arc beginning to know that some very damaging evidence- ngalnst them Is quietly leaking out. Yesterduy a voter residing on Shanty Hill, or Liberty Hill ns It lately has become known, stated to your re porter that the ballot box from his voting precinct had been taken to a certaln alderman's ofllce and thero ; lent account of themselves. As they tnmpered with nnd that how he be- j have appeared In Lackawanna coun enme acquainted with these facts v.i3 , ty, It Is not necessary for us to rc that many of his friends told him how I Pt what hus nlready been slid, but ho voted, nnd upon asking them how they became aware ot this, they In formed him their source of Informa tion.
