RETURNED.
Our townsman, RUFUS K. CAMPBELL, has
just returned from the army on the Poto
mac, and informs us that the Greene County
boys are all well and in excellent spirits.—
Mr. C. himself is in unusual good health.
Though not so full in flesh as he was when
he entered the service, he is nevertheless
looking very well.
GREENE COUNTY LADS AT ROMNEY.
We regret to learn that WILLIAM TAY
LOR, a member of Captain BENJ. MORRIS'
company, was killed at the taking of
Romney. His remains were brought home
and interred near Jollytown. We also
learn that a man by the name of Fox,
near Mt. Morris, a member of the same
company, was wounded by a ball passing
through his leg. We are glad to learn
that our boys acquitted themselves well
and gallantly in the engagement.
RESUMPTION 01' SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The Pittsburgh Banks resumed specie
payments some two or three weeks since,
and it is to be hoped their example will be
followed by all the Banks in the Common
wealth; It will re-establish confidence in
their solvency, and will do much towards
reviving general business.
THE GRAND ARMY.
It will be seen, by the following table,
that the Government has 362,000 men in
the field. This does not include the troops
from the District of Columbia, Maryland,
Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri and Michi
gan, and other States and Territories from
which we have no authentic information.
Doubtless, if the forces from these quar
ters were embraced, the grand to tal would
reach 400,000.

THE "PURSLEY GUARDS."
This company, commanded by our gal
lant friend, JOHN A. GORDON, met at this
place on Tuesday, the 29th ult., and after
swearing in several members, took up their
line of march for Camp Lafayette, at
- Uniontown, Pa., to join Col. llowELL's
Regiment. They were accompanied by
TEMPLE'S Greene County Band. The com
pany numbered over fifty men, and with
a little effort can he filled up in a short
time with hardy, determined men. The
company were escorted out of town by a
large concourse of citizens, from town and
country. The company will elect their
officers after going into Camp.
Now, at. the risk of being denounced as
traitors, we venture to affirm that every
citizen of a Free Republic (we are not yet
prepared to admit that this is a misno
mer) has the right to examine and criti
cise the acts of his rulers—public ser
vants they used to be styled—and to ex
press either approval or dissent. If the
Executive has exceeded the powers con
fided to him by the Constitution, he has a
right to say so—and if the public money
is squandered it is his right and his duty to
protest. The plunderers may protest, but
that is to be expected. They may prescribe
hanging, but what of it? While law gov
erns there is not much danger. It is true
that in these times, when the habeas cor
pus is a practical nullity, the citizen is
not entirely secure against illegal incarce
ration—but this power has been exercised in
in so few cases that it has hardly caused a
perceptible flutter. Men still dare to re
gard themselves as free citizens of a free
and enlightened country, and so long as
they respect the laws and perform all their
obligations, they will continue to form and
express their own opinions, unawed by
power and unrestrained by the threats of

" A MODEST MEMORIAL."
The following memorial is being circu
lated among the Yankee Abolitionists on
the Western Reserve:
To the President of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of Ashtabula
county, believing Sigvery to be the great
cause of our National Calamities, ear
nestly desire that it may be immediately
abolished by Presidential Proclamation,
under the War Power.
The Wheeling Press very properly sug
gests "that. a counter memorial be circu
lated for signatures, praying the President
to order every male signer to the above
memorial to be drafted into the service of
the Government, and that they be com
pelled to serve as sentinels every .night
during hostilities. If they are so anxious
to avert the calamities which they have
is instrumental in producing, let
them show their devotion to their country
bpi seraing it in the best possible manner."
NEW GOODS AV NOSICINSOIPS.
Our neighbor HoskiNsoN is in receipt of
an -unusually large and attractive stock
of seasonable Goods, which he assures us
will be sold at prices that nobody can
complain of. The assortment is varied,
and suited to the tastes and wants of
"the million." Long experience, first-rate
credit and excellent judgement in his busi
ness gives GEORGE advantages as a buyer
that all merchants do not enjoy. If you
doubt this, drop in and price his Goods.
HOW TO MAKE HARD TIMES.
A cotemporary gives a receipt for mak
ing hard times. If it don't tighten them,
nothing will. We trust none of our read
ers will try it :
"Refuse to pay all the little bills al
though you have the money in your pock
et—push men to pay you who have not
the money although you can get along
without it—if a man don't meet his ()pho
nons just when they become due, report
that he is going to "burst"—cut down the
wages of your hands before it is necessary
—keep back all grain froni market until
the prices get to "starvation prices"—use
money in speculations that you should
pay your creditors with—forget that un
necessary "retrenchments" increase hard
times instead of bettering them—carry a
a long face and talk of evil to come—do
these and other acts like them and "hard
times" will surely come, however little real
cause there may be for them."
PATRIOTS AND TRAITORS.
In good old times, when we were a hap
pay and united people, that man was re
garded as a patriot who loved his whole
country, revered the Constitution, obeyed
the laws and faithfully performed all his
obligations as a citizen. He might sup
port the Administration in power, or op
pose it, without having his loyality to the
Government or his patriotism questioned.
Men equally good and true were to be
found ou both sides. But in these trouble
some times a somewhat different test of
patriotism is sought to be applied. Loy
alty and disloyalty, patriotism and trea
son, are not what they were in the palmy
days of the Republic. We live under a
new dispensation, and words have acquired
an entirely novel significance.
If, for instance, a citizen who used to
exercise the largest liberty in abusing the
President of the United States, ridiculing
the Supreme Court, encouraging violations
of the Fugitive Slave Law, advocating the
"irrepressible conflict," and hinting that
in certain contingencies, the Union might
slide, is now a fast friend of the Adminis
tration, in favor of gagging or hanging
every person who ventures to whisper a
word of dissent to its policy, he is a patriot.
He may not be remarkable for individual
or official honesty—he may even be con
nected with fraudulent schemes to take
money out of the Treasury—in plain words
he may be growing rich by the spoils of
war, yet he is a patriot. He may en
courage violations of the Constitution, in
fringements upon private rights, turbu
lence and mob violence, and still he is a
patriot. He must have a keen scent for
Treason and Traitors. He must discover
that his honest neighbors, who do not
participate in his violence, are "seces
sionists," and mildly suggest hanging.
If these neighbors should intimate that the
President of the United States is not ex
actly a second Jackson, our patriot will
mark him as a suspicious character ; and
if by any chance he should go so far as to
express the absolute opinion that the Con
stiiution is the supreme law of the land,
suspicion will deepen into absolute con
viction, and our patriot no longer doubts
the necessity of establishing the guillotine
to rid the country of pestilent Traitors.
On the other hand, if a nian deplores the
exercise of unconstitutional powers, he
is a traitor. .If he doubts that war will
accomplish the restoration of the Union,
he is a traitor. He may perform all his
duties as an upright and loyal citizen ; lie
may never have been guilty of a dishonest,
mean or discreditable action: he may
have fought the battles of the country, and
contributed liberally of his means to sus
tain the Government and provide for the
families who have gone forth to fight, never
theless he is a traitor. Our modern patriot,
with his pockets puffed out with plunder,says
so, and who shall gainsay his word? Let the
good citizen he a Democrat, and declare
that if his advice had been followed these
things would not now be, and if the zeal
ous patriot does not have him strung up for
utter treasonable language it will not
be his fault.

LETTER FROM THE ARMY.
CAMP PIERPONT, FAIRFAX CO., VA. 1
Sunday, Oct. 13, 18131. f
Dear ,S'ir :—You will see by the heading
of this letter, that we have moved from
our old "Camp Tenafly," and are now en
camped on the "Sacred Soil," four miles
beyond the "Chain Bridge"—already fa
mous for the part it has played ,in the
War. We struck our Tents at Tenafly on
Wednesday last, and about S o'clock at
night we moved out of our old Camp,
which had become to us quite a pleasant
home. Its high locality made it healthy
and gave us a nice "look-out" over the
hills and forests of the "Old Dominion."
Our leaving was an interesting sight, and
was done with a mingled feeling of regret
and exulting enthusiasm: of regret, be
cause the place had become endeared tous
by pleasing associations: of joyous enthu
siasm, because it would bring us nearer
the boasting Chivalry, who with arrogant
presumption, talk of wintering in Balti
more, Washington, and even the City of
"Brotherly Love"—where first was pro
claimed "W% are, and of right, ought to
be free and independent."
Shall it ever be said that Philadelphia,
in which, and around which, cluster so
many glorious memories, is become the
home and property of those, now seeking
to destroy the Government and the Institu
tions, which have made it what it is—one
of the finest Cities in the world? God for
bid that ever they shall set foot upon its
sacred streets, except they return to their
allegiance, and enter it as "one of us."—
But I have digressed. All the pretty ce
dars which had been gathered, and taste
fully arranged in our . streets, having be
come "sear and yellow," were brought to
gether in piles, and huge fires made of
them, lighting up the Camp, and revealing
to sight the hundreds of soldiers, and their
glittering bayonets.
Upon the walls of the Fort were to be
seen the dark Nowning cannon, and the
lonely sentinel making his solitary rounds.
The sight itself and the associations con
nected with all that was going on, made an
interesting scene.
Soon the words "Forward march" were
given, and with three cheers for our old
Camp we moved off hriiskly toward the
"Chain Bridge.''
Arriving there, we found the entrance
guarded by "Ifungry-looking" Parrot
Cannon, and a sentinel, who allowed us to
Pass, with a word of cheer following us.
There were four regiments of us in line,
the 2nd, sth, Bth and I.st, and as each one
left the Bridge, and set foot upon Rebel
ground deafening cheers went up, awaking
the slumbering echoes among the hills of
old Virginia.
Reaching the top of a hill just above
the Bridge, we could look away for miles
upon a country, rolling and nice: the
farms dotted here and there by fine houses
—once, doubtless happy homes, but now
tenantless and deserted. The "Horrors
of 'War" are already beginning to be seen
and felt here, ere the war has hardly be
gun. Upon either side of the way are to
be seen Camps of Soldiers, from Maine,
Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and
New York.
We moved beyond the Bridge about two
miles when we halted and lay down by the
road side to rest. With overcoats and
blankets for covering, and our cartridge
box for a pillow, we slept comfortably
until about day-light, when we were arous
ed by the "Reveille:" We fell into line,
and marched on about one mile farther,
where we pitched our tents and proceeded
to make ourselves as comfortable as possi
ble. We are encamped along the Lees
burg Pike—Leesburg being however some
twenty miles distant. About three o'clock
on Friday morning our regiment was arous
ed to go on picket duty. We marched
about one mile from Camp, where one com
pany was posted in the road, while the oth
ers were deployed upon the right and left
of the road, those upon the right reaching
to the river, a distance of about one and
a half miles, while those upon the left ex
tended about the same distance, and con
nected with the pickets from the 43d New
York regiment. A short distance in front
of the _lnfantry pickets were stationed
mounted pickets. The day before our ar
rival our pickets were driven back within
two miles of the Chain Bridge, and it was
confidently expected we too, would be at
tacked, but the day and night wore away—
and we could not tell that there were any
snob persons as rebels, except by - the
blockade of timber they hianiade in'tke
road the day previous. **oral
left very precipitately—as the rooms were
carpeted, nicely furnished with sofas, fine
chairs; extensive library of books and a
piano—indeed everything,, w ja wealth
and refined taste could EioPA ne house
had been the iesidenct of a Comm°.
dore . .Jones, and' ad doalitless been a home
of ease and elegance.
Another had been the home of a Doctor
Ball. A great deal of furniture was re
mnining in the house and quite anamount
of drugs, medicines, large mirrors, &c.—
There were huge piles of letters, many of
which I glanced over, and was delighted
with the psrusal. They were perfect mod
els of elegant composition. I could not
help feeling sorry, as I thought of whata
happy home might have been there, and
which is now broken. up. From the title
of many of the books, from the papers
and letters which I saw, I think they were
a family of christians. Everything bore
the stamp of taste and refinement. Doubt
less many pleasant family associations
are connected with the place, yet the "hor
rors of war" have rude,lymbroken them
off.
On Saturday about day-light our regi
ment was relieved by the 4th, and we re
turned to camp. While out on picket,
company II picked up a little darkey be
longing to Mrs. Jackson, whose son it was
that shot the gallant Ellsworth. The "lit
tle contraband"'was brought into General
McCall's quarters. Mrs. Jackson herself
(who lives close here) was to-day brought
in, and expressed her indignation at the
arrest, and hoped the rebels might come
off victorious. She was sent to the city
for a further . hearing. The "Rangers,"
while out on duty, managed to live well.—
They butchered no less than three "pork
ers," upon which they fared sumptuously
while out, and on their return to the camp
brought the remainder with them.
You may rest assured that the "Ran
gers" will make their mark whenever an
opportunity occurs. At every alarm they
turn out promptly, for which the Colonel
has complimented them frequently.
Yesterday about 3, P. M., a messenger
from the line of pickets came dashing into
Gen. Reynold's headquarters with word:that
rebel cavalry were in sight, only a short
distance ahead. Soon the Bth, sth, Ist and
2nd regiments, with the Ist cavalry, were
out in line of battle. A reconnoisance was
then made by Gene. McCall and Reynolds,
with their staffs, but they concluded noth
ing alarming was near, so we were march
ed back to our quarters. This morning
we were again called out before day-light,
and it was rumored were going to take a
battery, which the rebels had erected; about.
2 miles in advance.
'We stood to our arms about two hours,
when we were sent to our quarters—our
guns, however, remaining stacked. Sev
eral pieces of Artillery have moved on
ahead of us, and taken up positions com
manding a wide range of country. Near
ly the whole of the !rrand army is now on
this side of the Potomac, and we daily ex
pect to have skirmishes, if not general
engagements. Look out for sometAing soon.
With few exceptions our boys are well and
in the best of spirits. Estie, Pratt, Smith,
Parkinson, &c., are the best of soldiers—
as are many others I might mention.—
Every confidence is placed in our Captain
and Lieut. Kent as commanders. Lieut.
Lucas is much liked, but is not, of course,
so well calculated for a leader as are the
others. In regard to myself lam glad to
say 1 have now the position of Sergeant
Major of the regiment, a position of hon
or and trust. I am tented with the Col
onel, and have, seemingly, his entire con
fidence. I disliked to be detached from
the "Rangers," yet the Colonel insisted so
strongly, I had to accept the position. I
shall try to merit the confidence which is
now given me by doing my duties faith
fully. For the present I must close.
Respectfully Yours,
J. L. INtIFIRAM.

arrives, we shall take pleasure in com
municating to your readers its vari
ous officers so far as elected or ap
pointed.
Comparative good prevails in
our company, and, indeed, in our
whole camp, scarcely a case of sick
ness occurring. Only two persons
are now in the hospital, and their dis
eases are of the lighter variety, from
which they are rapidly recoveritt.
Our company, yesterday moorning,
when out on parade, .11t the sugges
tion of our captain, gave three
hearty cheers for Messrs. W. A. Por
ter and Geo.•E. Minor, for the. keg of
butter and fine cheese sent us. and
three more for the benevolent ladies of
Waynesburg, for the blankets, quilts,
and coverlets, already received, and
for the box of socks which we are in
anticipation of receiving.
Last week a soldier was bucked and
gagged in this regiment for a misde
' meaner committed. This is the mili
tary way of disposing of offenders in
cases where lighter punishment will
not suffice. It seems barbarous, but
perhaps, with many characters, subor
dination can only be obtained in this
way.
Lately NORTON McGIFFIN, of Wash
ington County, was elected Lieuten
ant-Colonel of the Regiment. His
election was received with vociferous
cheers all along the line of the bat
talion on parade.

Resignation of Lieut. General
Scott.
On Thursday the President receiv
ed a letter from Lieutenant General
Scott, stating in substance that nu
merous bodily infirmities, added to
, rief at the unnatural and unjust re
hellion of the South, has so rendered
him unfit for active and responsible
duty, that he is compelled to ask that
he be placed on the retired list. lie
adds that it is with deep regret that
he withdraws himself, in these mo
mentous times, f'rom the orders of a
President who has treated him with
distinguished kindness and courtesy;
whom he knows upon much personal
intercourse to be patriotic, without
sectional partialities or prejudices; to
be highly conscientious in the perfor
mance of every duty, and of unrivall
ed activity and perseverance.
A special Cabinet meeting was con
vened on Friday morning, to take
the subject into consideration. It
was decided that Gen. Scott's request,
under the circumstances of his ad
vanced age and infirmities, would
not be declined. Geu. McClellan
was thereupon, with the unanimous
agreement of the Cabinet, notified
that the command of the army
would devolve upon him. At four
o'clock in the afternoon the Cabinet
again waited upon the President, and
attended him to the residence of
Gen. Scott. On being seated, the
President read to the General an or
der granting the venerable General's
request, without any reduction in
his current pay, subsistence, or allow
ances, and adding the deep sense of,
gratitude which the Cabinet and the
whole nation felt for his long and in
valuable services,and for his unwa
vering devotion to the Constitution,
the Union and the flag.
General Scott then arose and made
some brief and feeling remarks,
thanking the Government for its gen
erous kindness, and expressing his
utmost confidence in the loyalty and
fidelity of the Administration. The I
President than took leave of Gen. I
Scott, giving him his hand, and say- J
ing that he hoped soon to write him
a private letter, expressive of his
gratitude and affection, and addin ,,
that pro Vision should be made for ;
the General's Staff, according to the
General's wishes. Each member of
the administration then gave his
baud to the veteran and retired in
profound silence. The Secretary of
the Treasury and Secretary of War
will accompany Gen. Scott to N. Y.
