To return to our regiment, we inarched tibout 5 miles, where we hailed in alieautiful grove of trees near the pike, and lay our selvca down to rest for awhile. At three A. M. we resumed our inarch quite refreshed rciiching; ( Jrecncastle at dav light on Sunday morning, passing the 1'hiladt Iphia Gray He serves, accompanied Ly Stows liattery tin the route. We encamped 011 Sunday morning in a beautiful woods about amiieuorth of the town, which by the way is a very pleas tint little town. It is 4 miles from the State line in I'ennsylviinin. We remained in camp here, drilling every day. until Thursday evening, H o'clock, when the cry of "pack up'' was heard throughout the camp, and soon we were initrehcd to the cars and on our way to llarrisburg, which place, ve reached ut daylight on Friday morning Sept. 20, passing Chumhcrsburir, Shippensburg, icwville, Carlisle und Me chanscsburg, on the route. We could not see much of these towns or the country through which repassed, us we unfortu nately went nnd came over the road after night. All we hud wits a starlight glimpse of it. Cumberland is the largest as well as the richest valley in the State. At tireen castle it is about ill) miles wide, extending from the Blue Itidge on the East to a range of mountains, 011 tho West, running parallel with, and ut an equal distance from the Blue Itidge and Allegheny mountains. The Shenandoah Yulley of Yirginia, is a contin uation of the Cumberland Valley of this State, divided by the l'otomae river. 1 is very dry in this valley now. There has. been no ruin Miice harvest. But little seeding has been doue by the farmers on account of the drouth. This valley would have been a rich prize to the Confederates, but thanks to the uprising of the freemen of I'cniisyl v.ima, of which tho gallant eighteenth form ed a part, it was rebated from their intended 1 griifp. 11. B. MASSER, SUNBURY, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER On tho evening previous to our return to llarrisburg, n meeting of the regiment was held in front of Col. McChiy's quiit'tors, nt which nearly all the olliccrs made short but stirring speeches. Senator Lawrence, now Speaker of the Senate, nud a high private in a conipay from Wa hieo'on county, read the I'resident's Emancipation Proclamation and then 111:11 Ic nn eloquent speech in its sup port, which was heartily nnd enthusiastical ly received. Hesolutions were passed thank ing the ollicers for the good care they took of the regiment, favoring the Emancipation proclamation of the President, also that the proceedings be published in the Ilarrislntrg Telegraph, to be copied from there by the papers ol ail the counties represented in the regiment. At the close three cheers wen given for tint President, lor (Jov. Curlin. for the Chairman, and for the ollicers, when the meeting adjourned, long to be remembered by the participants. 1 must not neglect to mention that a con traband who came into our camp nt llagers town, wits quite a popular institution in our regiment, making speeches occasionally to the dill'ereiit .companies of the regiment, in which he pictured the life of a slave at the South, his connection with the Southern army, and his escape therefrom, lie left the rebel army the day before the battle of An lietani by hiding himself under a bridge.- lie was the most intelligent contraband that we have yet seen from the South. lie tells a straight slury. lie was a servant In Stone wall Jackson's division, whom he knows, and says thai he puts on a different suit every day.

The paraphernalia of war equip ments, at the nr-cnal was a sight worth see in,'. About H in the evening we entered the cars for home, w here, after numerous delays on the route, we reached Sunbury tit 12 o'clock at night, when the company i separated, and the members retiring to their respective hollies, and thus ended the campaign of Co.

PoTrsvii.1.1:. September 8th, 1S02. C. Towr.it, Esq. lktir Sir; I have duly considered tho importance of your inquiry relative to my personal knowledge of tho attempt made' some eighteen months ago by F. W. Hughes, Esq., to "switch" the State of Pennsylvania out of the Union, in nearly the .same manner, and by the same unholy menus that were employed to carry Tennes see, .Missouri, Louisiana, and other States out; and in compliance with your request, will endeavor to give a plain, unvarnished statement of such facts us 1 may be possessed of, conlitiing myself us strictly us possible, to the precise language used at the time. A day or two prior to tho assembling of tho Democratic State Convention ut llarris burg, in February, 18(11, I heard it bruited about that Air. Hughes, (who was a delegate to that Convention,) designed to introduce in that body a resolution, the object of which was to curry Pennsylvania out of tho Uuion, and join the so-called Southern Confederacy. The report, notwithstanding my know ledge of .Mr. Hughes' sympathy for tho South, (ho having previously told me in convertatiou with nun, that the only mistake of Mr, AMERICAN NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. 11, 1SG2. OLD Bucliannan's administration was, that "ho did not receive. Messrs. Hhett & Co., of South Carolina, ns ('iniin!H.iioiim, instead of 'dis tinguished citizens,' and treat with them upon the subject of their mission,"; the re port, I say. struck me as being so manifestly absurd ns to be scarcely worthy of notice. On the evening of the day of the Conven tion. (I think the 22nd of the month) while on my way home. 1 fell in company with his nephew, John Hughes, Esq., (law partner of F. W. II 'ghes, and ns we walked a consid erable dist,. ,ce in the same direction, I took occasion to mention to him the reports Iliad heard in regard to Frank's secession resolu tion. He replied, "Yes. I think that Frank is doing wrong in that matter." I asked him if it were really true then, that In designed to offer such a resolution lie answered, "Yes, he took such a resolution with him, I read it myself several times, and advised him not to offer it.' I need scarcely say, that what I was disposed to regard before as nn idle rumor, had now become a stern reality. On my return from ten. I stopped to see tin; late Judge llegins, and communicated what John Hughes told me. The Judge smiled and said : "AVhy Frank showed me that resolution before he left, and asked inv opinion of it. I advised j him for (.tod's sake, not lo offer it. as it would I kill hint politically, forever.'' I anxiously awaited the published proceedings of the j Convention, und was gratified to see that t Ho resolution in question was not utnong tlmm. Thus matters rested until some time I I think in April or May following, when, on I ihe way to my place of business. I met -Mr. : James (iowiin. of llarrisburg, nn old friend j and iieqiiaitit'ince. The war having then ' actually commenced, our conversation natu 1 rally turned upon that subject. Some pretty severe strictures were made by myself, on I what I considered the mistake of Mr. liu ' chanan's adtninist ration, and as being in my I opinion, the direct cause of all our troubles, i My friend on the other hand, defended Mr. Buchanan's policy. While thus engaged. ' we were joined by (h-iu-ral .1. Y. James, of Warn-n, a mutual friend and acquaintance of l oth of us. Mr. .lames sustained my views of the question, and the "talk" became i somewhat animated, in the cour-c of which I mentioned the effort attempted to be made I by Mr. Hughes in the late 1 i mocrath; State ; Convention to "sw itch" "ctisvlvania out of j tin I'nion, when I was ii icrruplcd by Mr. James, who said: "Why, wasn't 1 in tnat Convention, and on the Committee to draft resolutions ( And didn't Mr. Hughes come to me iu the Committee room and ask me to support his d d treasonable resolu tion i" lie continued: "After I had read it. 1 got so d d mad that 1 shook my list and swore that if he attempted to oiler that resolution either in Committee or Conven tion, that I would pitch him and his resolu tion head foremost out of the window.'' "I don't know ," continued the icncral. "wheth er it was my threat or what ; but I neither heard nor saw an;,;liii:g mi-re of that resolu tion." The material points r.f Mr. James' statement were su! U. ntly admitted by him to Mr. F. I.. Whitney, of this H irough. in my pn -once. This js substantially all T have to say in relation to your quenie-, and is given in nearly, if not precisely, the saute language used 'at the time. It has been hastily draw n up. bid you are at perfect I'berty to make whatever use of it you may think proper. Ycrv lfi-speetftlllv, A.c. JKKn.Mi: K. BOY EH. If necessary.

Hughes was a delegate from Schuylkill County to that Convmlion. In a conversa tion between the lion. Charles W. llegins and Benjamin Pott, llegins said "Hughes is I making a fool of himself." that he had shown him, (ilegius,) resolutions, he (Hughesi had 1 drawn up to offer at that Convention in favor ol 1 ennsylvania joining tlic Nintuem 1 011 federaey. llegins said he g ive him it lit, 'I of a scolding. Mr. Pott nad the above this morning and savs it is correct. C. I.OKSEU. Poltsville, IHli September, lM(i2. In the latkr part of Summer or Fall of 101, Francis W. Hughes, of Pottsvilie, came into the olliec of William B. Wells, an attorney at law of the same place, and who had been, from the year ls-IO to the year lSu-l. the law partner of Hughes. Lloyd's Railroad map, showing the States was hanging against the wall, iu the olliee j open. Hughes pointed to the map with his I cane, and explained lo Wells what he, 1 Hughes, thought would be the result of this I Rebellion , that the Western State; would eventually join tnc.'souiu, as iiicir luietesis lay with tlieui: that the New England States, together with New York.

And the disgrace of repudiation would finally be the result. That he, Hughes, did not want to live in such a country. lie said if he couul tlx ins matters 10 suit, linn, or coi nage ti) that cll'ect, ho would go to some other country or place; Wells docs nut remember which. Wells then asked Hugh es, where he would go. Ho replied, "to Sandy Bottom, as Natty Mills used lo say." Wells said, "Hughes, vmi come to thirt conclusions upon the basis that this Rebel lion cannot be put flown. Ungues replied, "Yes." Wells then asked him what conclu sion he would come to, upon the supposition that this Rebellion could and would be put low 11. Ho said, "Ot course then 1 should come to quite u different conclusion ;" but said, al the same time, that he believed it could not lie put down. Wells reiterated that he lirmly believed that it could and would be put down. Hughes to this replied, that he wished he could see or believed as Wells did ; but he could not or w ould not. The foregoing was lead by Wells, and he says it is correct. He says Hughes gave reasons for his belief; the chief of which was the bad feeling between the North und South, relating to tho negro. Hughes jitstilied holding the negro in sla very. C. I.OESEU. Pottsvilie, Sept. 8th, 1S02. In July last, about two weeks after the funeral of tho lion.

In tho course of conversation Mrs. Donntl suid, "Mr. Ilobart, you know SERIES, VOL. 23, NO.

A short time before his (b ath he colled inc to his bed, and said overtures had been made to him by a prominent politician of your place, of Schuylkill Coun ty, (1 mention no names,) to join with them which ho declined doing.

It supplies matter for grave consideration. Taking the whole number of marriages in Fiance, the coii sanguinous represent 2 per Cent., w hile the proportion of deaf and dumb births ut Lyons . at least 25 percent: at Paris 23 per cent ; : at Bordeaux, 'M percent. The nearer the consanguinity of parents, the more does this proportion increase; and if we represent by , 1 the danger of begetting a deaf and dumb j child from an ordinary marriage, it would have to be represented in IS marriages be jtween cousiiis-gerinan ; by in lnaniages j between uncles and nieces; and by 70 ill I lnaniages between nephews and aunts. It I w ill surprise some readers to hear the sub- ! Meet is one in which the religious element is j involved: Protcstani.-m is more favorable; to consanguinious marriages than Roman Catholicism is; and it appears by a return from Berlin, that tiie proportion of deaf and dumb children in 10. 1100 Catholics in that ; city was ;!1 ; in lO.UOO of other Christian j sects, mostly Prote-tatit, it was ti ; audi among Jews, 27 in 10,000. A similar result I eaines out ill other circumstances. By a ' census taken ill the territory of Iowa in Is 10, ' there were found 2'u ileal" and dumb in 10. 000 whites; 212 deaf and dumb in 10.1'uO blacks islavcsi, or Ul timesmorc than among : the whites. In this case, the habits of the hUcks were favourable lo the increased ' result. It is found that when- iutermaniages : is in some sort a necessity, from geographi cal position, there is an immense increase in : the proportion of deaf and dumb births, for the whole of France, the proportion is fi in 10,000 ; in Corsica, it rises to 11 in 10,000 ; in the High Alps, to 2:1 ; iu the Canton of Berne, to 28. In lceland.il is 11.

These false statements greatly ! exaggerated our forces, and led the enemy j to believe that if they advanced they would i encounter 11:1 enormous body of troops. 1 he operator was almost without sleep h.-r seven days and nights, and maintained his position in the face of much danger. His career during the entire war has been an eventful one.
