(An nty. Wo are pleased to learn thiit this
.ouay will have thrie companies in the
field, one more than it.- r-unta Under tin:
Vfjn'iMtinn of tlic President. Cue of these
companies, numbering 13 men, organized
at Watsontown, passed through tliis place
on Thursday, having split from tlic Milton
company and Hit up for themselves. The
Milton company. vc learn, has now v.nited
with the Northumberland recruit?, about
V!0 in number and others, and is full. The
Sunbury company and the Shamokin will,
or have united, and will be commanded by
('apt. Ih-cdf r, cf Shamokin, and Lieutenants
Jones and Brier, of rinydertowuand Sunbury.
Should another company be raided, for
the war, there will be no necessity for
drafting, so far as this county is concerned.
It is therefore proposed, and we think very
properly, that the proposed bounty of if 30
to each member of the two companies,
should be divided among the four, giving
25 to each. The only objection that could
be urged against the getting up of four
companies is, that Home of the anti-war
ympathiers would escape being drafted.

Judge Jordan, before taking his eat,
stated the object of the meeting in a brief
but effective speech, which was well rece ived
and loudly responded to. He urged all
good citizens to lay aside till partizan and
political feeling in this trying hour, and
turn their attention to the salvation and
restoration of our glorious Union, and de
elare'd that if the rebels succeeded in de
stroying this government wc would become
not "only a ruined and unhappy people, but
that our possessions would become worth-
ess.

it is the wi.-h of our Company, that the friends nt

no reports, uuless duly authenticated.
Tin- iSunbiiry boys of tho Ktind belonging to the
111 Pennsvlvaniu Wiluiiteers, were on a visit lo our

when we clasped thehandsof old friends fromo home,
and purticularly the feeling of one who had a brother
among the numoer. Ihey were with us p.r two iiays
and anight. The experience of Catnp-lifo was ex
changed, many a sloia nnd joko were given, nnd

A poor, dil-epichited lookin?; iaditi
eiiine into Sull'olk this morninp;. direct from
Bichmonel, having received ids discharge
from the Iti-bel service on account' of age
and aie kness, lie has oenn withthcTwcllth
Virginia since his M.li.tm-nt, and was at the
buttle of Malvern Hill. He states that if wc
had followed up their retreating masses, we
could have occupied Richmond that night.
lie aays inn slaughter on tuetr side was
dreadful, our shot aud fhell taking rirect at
every discharge. Gen. Huger Uiel not want
old Magrude r to shove the men on to the at-tae-k,
as lit ha-tr the batteries firing tit them,
ami nothing coultl stop tliein.
The man who stat.-d this to us w as quite
intelligent, niul eliel nid hm-iii inclined to
drag, like, the musses he-re. He has a w ife
anil five children in Norfolk, nnel his great
desire was to get home to see them. He de
plored the war. and was very bitter on the
Southern politicians and the Northern
Abolitionists. He thought that South Car
olina ought to be sunk into the sea.
The rations the Itebel soldiers now receive
per diem, is one-half pound of meat, cis-h-teen
ounces of flour and a little salt. The
men are get ting very tired of this kind of
fare, and he thinks by October next they
will be complete! v starved out. Flesh and
blood, he ays, cannot -tand it much longer,
no matter how patriotic.
lie says that l'e ter-buio' is dead no busi
ntiss whatever, mid very little to eat. Spring
chickens tire .sellini; in the market at this
place at the rate of $2 a pietv. This may
seem incredible, yet it i.- even so. Small
heads of cabbage, the size of your hand, sell
at 'oi-. a piece. Sugar, tea and colfee the re
is none. In l'iehmoiid Ihere is vet some
