WELLSBORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNES; Id the memorable revolutionary struggle be tween Great,Britain and tbe American Colo nies, Charles W was among tbe first to join a company of volunteers.' Uis\youtbful bosom glowed with that patriotic which seemed to animate the whole continent. At tbe period we speak of, it became not the man to hold back—bis liberty depended upon tbe meditated blow—a blow aimed at the great est power in Europe, the giant of war through ages of blood. But whatever obstacles existed, whatever sufferings were,endured, they became as nothing when compared with the objects set forth in that Declaration which inspired every patriotic heart to resolve on liberty or death. Brave unto rashness, Charles -rushed into battle, heedless of danger and reckless of con sequences. It was at the battle of Princeton that Charles, rushing into the hottest of the conflict, gained the enemy's standard, and bore it off in triumph. For this act of youthful bravery, he was promoted to tbe rank of cap tain, and gained tbe high esteem of bis supe rior officers. We shall not follow our young hero through the many and various campaigns; suffice it to say that one act of heroism succeed ed another, until at tbe termination of the war, we find him returned among a list of co temporary heroes as a. major. Previous 1 to Charles joining the army, he wag betrothed to a young jady fo great persona) beauty and considerable property. She parted from him with many protestations of love and affection, and her tears fell on the cheek of her lover to seal tbe words, “ I am thine." Day after day succeeded his departure, and she anxiously awaited the return nf the post. It came ; her lover’s letters were filled with protestations of love and constancy. While the papers teemed with the heroic actions of the brave, and the rapid promotion -of hi< youthful companions, there was no mention made of Charles. They all spoke of Major Drayton—the young, the noble, and the bravo; and a sigh of disappointment often escaped the bosom of Helen; and a wish that it was her Charles. Helen was proud—the passing events of the war bad created in her bosom an ambi tious fire; it srootherd her love for Charles, and kindled another, flaming with every oppo site quality. But to return to Charles. Returning with bis youthful bosom elate with hope and joy ; convinced that one faithful heart would sympa thise with him, in renoounting his many suffer ings and privations, during a long, tedious, and bloody campaign, be determined to sur prise his love' by a stratagem. Others may condemn an act of this kind, as one unworthy a man, a lover—but whatever Charles' motives were be hid them entirely from others. Under another name he entered the army—under the assumed title he gained honor, fume, and re nown. Aware with such to recommend him, there would be no doubt of a happy and joy ous welcome ; he therefore determined to sur prise bis Helen in another guise—in the garb of a poor soldier. He tapped at the door, was admitted by a servant and conducted into the parlor. Other officers bud been there to pay their respects; the brilliant dress of many a youthful warrior bad passed befbre her eyes, and with a beating heart she obeyed the summons. A flush suf fused her countenance'as boJmprinted a fond kiss on her cheek ; that kiss given in' all the fullness of a fond heart, wag not returned with that fervor his glowing fancy had -pictured ; ’twas cold, forma], and trembling. “ And have you returned ?" escaped her rather as a question than an exclamation. “ Yes, Helen, I am returned, the same in heart, the same fond lover as ever. But you see my garb denotes the suffering I have en dured—what misery, privation and toil—but whntoftbisf We have gained our liberty, and planted on our shore the banner of virtue, liberty and independence. And thy dear sweet image was ever present to my sight; it cheered me in battle, and I could, press my cold blanket with ecstatic joy, knowing that one fond heart was beating for me, and that heart was thine.” "Alasl Charles, you—you—must not be astonished to find a change in me.

But before sbe could answer, Capt.- EDia rushed in, followed by Helen’s mother.. Ellis was in full uniform, and the contrast between the humble garb of Charles wee certainly not much to hie advantage. He was received with smiles and marked attention. Helen intro duced him— “ C i plain EIH«. permit, mo to intr-duco rty friend, Charles Vi'——tu r —** WE WERE BOYS TOGETHER.

Hallockt ■ tIEADQCAETERS ARSI7 OP THE SOUTH WEST, ) Pea Kidce, Ark,, March V, 1862. / General : On .thursday, the 6th insb, the enemy commenced an attack on my right wing, assailing and following the rear guard of a de tachment under Sigel to my main lines on Sugar Creek Hollow, bat ceased firing when he met my reenforoements, about 4 p in. • During the night 1 became convinced that be had moved on so as to attack my right or rear, therefore early on the 7th I ordered a change of front, to the right, my right, which tbps became my left, still resting on Sugar Creek Hollow. Thjis brought my line across Pea'Bidge, with my right resting on Head .Cross Timber Hollow, which is the head of Big Sugar Creek. 11 also ordered an immedi ate advance of the cavalry and light artillery under Col. Osterbads, with orders to attack and break what I supposed would be the re-u.forced line of the enemy- This movement was in progress, when the enemy, at II a. m., {commenced cp attack on my right. The fight continued mainly nt ibcs* - points during the | day, the enemy . having gained the point held by the command of Cul. Carr, at Cross Timber Hollow, bat was entirely repulsed with the fall of Commander McCut- Inch, in the center, 1 , by the forces nnder CoL Davis. j The plan of attack on the center was gallan tly ’ carried forward jby Col. Osterhaus, who was immediately sustained and soppoi ted by Col. Davis’s entire Division, supported also by Gen. Sigel’s command, which bad remained till near the close of the day on the left. Col, Carr’s division heldjh'p right, under a galling, continoons fire all day. In-the evening, firing having entirely ceased in the center, and the right being now on the left, I reenforced tbs right by a portion of the 2d Division, under Gen. Asboth. • Before the day closed I was convinced that the enemy had concentrated his main force on the right. I commenced another change-of front forward, so as to face the enemy, whero - bo had deployed oh my right fiank in a strong position. Tfae-cbange had only been partially effected, hot was in full progress, when at son* rise on. the Bth my right and center renewed energy along the whole extent of his line. My left, under Qen. .Sigel, moved close to the bills occupied by the enemy driving him ■from the bights, and advancing steadily toward the head of the hollowjs. I immediately or dered the center and right wing tbs right turning the left of tihe enemy, and cross firing on his center. Tnis final position of the enemy was in the arc of a circle. ' A charge-of extending through out the whole line, completely-routed the whole Rebel force, which retired in great confusion, but rather safely; through the deep impassa ble defiles of-cross timber], Our loss is heavy. The enemy's can never I be ascertained,' foe their dead are scattered: over a large field. Their wounded, too, may piapy of them be lost and perish. The force is scattered in all di rections, but I think main force has re turned to Boston Mountains. -. Gen. Sigel follows him toward Keittsville, while cavalry is pursuing him towardshe moun tains, scouring the country, bringing in pris oners, and trying to find the Rebel Major-Gen eral Van Dorn, who bad command of the entire force at this, the battle ofi Pea Ridge. I have not as yet statements of the dead and wounded sons to justify a report, but I will refer you to a dispatch I will forward very soon. ■ .1 , i Officers and soldiers have displayed each tm* J usual gallantry that 1 hardly dare to makedie tinotion. ! d must, however, name the commanders of division: Gen. Sigel gallantly commanded the right, and drove back thejleft wing of the ene my. Gen. Asboth, who is wounded in the arm in bis gallant, effort to re-enforce the right; Colonel and Acting Brigadier-General Davis, who commanded the oenfer where McCulloch fell on the 7tb, and pressed forward the center on the Bth. Col. and Acting Brigadier-Gener. al Carr is also wounded [in the arm, and whs under "the continuous' flrejof the enomy during the two hardest days of the struggle. . Illinois, Indiana, Iowa!, Ohio, and Missouri may proudly share the honor of victory', which their gallant heroes over the combioit} force of Van l!)orn, Price and' McCulloch at Pea Ridge in the mountains of Arkansas. : X have the honor to be, General, your ohediuit servant, SAMUAL H.
