last day of the session. The. Eighteenth Con

■ Counties af Centre, Clinton, Lycoming, Potter
and Tioga. The return Judges will meet here
after at the Court House in Lock Haven, Clin
ton point being considered nearer
the*centro of the District than any other.—
Bradford County has been set yff with Wyo

{i3“ W-e are well assured that however de-
is the present aspect of the war/ita
future aspect is bright and hopeful; No one
can doubt that it will result in raising the na
tional character to a higher standard of menial,
moral and physical excellence. It cannot fail
to •'unite apd fuse together the antagonisms of
the last twenty years. In the South' the aris
tocracy of slavery will have been .broken up
never again to be united, because the basis will
have’been knocked from under |t. The South
will bo overrun by Northern capitalists who
will superintend the investment of their capital.
These will be followed by mechanics and* la
borers, and communities will ha formed with
Northern ideas of- religion, education, and all
that goes to make up advanced civilization.—
Wo predict too, that as goon as the border States
adopt tho recommendation bf Mr. Lincoln for
the gradual emancipation of the slaves, emi
gration from Europe will be directed mostly to
these States. Tho demand for capital and
manufactures—and particularly of lumber and
other building materials—to repair the wastes
of war, will givp.impetus to business in this and
all other counties which can produce them;
and the day fur the commencement of this era
is apparently not far off. May it come soon^

. Tnylur’a and Waterhouse'-a batteries, suppor
ted by the 23d Illinois, 77th and 53d Ohio reg
i meat*, were the first in the fight. . Both tbo
Ohio'regiments ran-—the 77th without firing, a
gun-cleaving 'Waterh.ojuse.without any support.
He fought half:an hour, however, retiring with
three of his guns. He was wounded in the
thighwith a Minnie ball, but mot fatally. His
battery is’badly cut up. Taylor’s battery con
tinued'to fight, supported splendidly by thejll
iriois regiment, until he ahd his support.were
outflanked on both sides. He then retired
through a cross fire, having but one man-kill
ed and seventeen wounded;:
Meantime Waterhouse, with his three guns,
took up a'second* position, 1 supported by the
Second brigade of Gen. McOteruand’s division
composed of tbelllh, 17tlij;20tb, and 48tli Illi
nois, Col. Mar h commanding. During the
forenoon they wete compelled to retiie ilooogh
their own encampment, with heavy loss, into
some woods, where they formed a second line
of battle.
An advance was then ordered by Gen. Mc-
Clernaiid. A hundred rods advance brought
them in sight of the Rebel*. Here commenced
one of the most fiercly-contested engagements
of the day, resulting in the repulse of the ene
my, who Were driven back through our encamp
ments.
■ At this point the enemy met re-enforcements,
and, our ammunition being out, Col. Marsh
gave the command to give place to another
brigade. They were, however, compelled to re
treat within half a mile of the river.
At this moment the gun-boats opened fire,
throwing shells over the heads of opr men, and
covered the ground in every din ction with Reb
el slain. Tat lor’s battery again took position
on the parndi -ground of the first division, and
opened on the Rebel battery placed 800 yards
distant, and a splendid artillery .duel took place.
The Rebel battery was silenced, and their cais
son blown up. Taylor’s battery was then or
dered into a reserve.
During the fight, several Mississippi fegi
roents, which hail arrived ( n Saturday night,
came on at double quick, but were almost imme
diately repulsed.
On Monday, h Michigan battery, captured
the day before, was retaken by the 10 th Wis
consin.
The fight, after taking this battery, was con
ducted in person by Gen. Beauregard. In his
efforts to recover it, he was wounded in the arm.
lie was successful in taking it, but it was again
t iken from. It was captuied and retaken 1,0
less than six tittles.
Company A of the Chicago Light Artillery,
who were so severely haodh d on the first day,
were only aide to man three guns on
but with these, after a desjerate contest, they
succeeded completely In sic ncing and captur
ing the Rebel battery of six guns They were,
however, compelled to abandon ir.MVom lack of
horses to draw it off; their own pieces were
brought off by band. ■
The general retreat of the enemy commenced
at daik on Monday,our c ivalry follow ing them
Until the horses were tired out. But for the
almost impassable condition of the roads, the
rout would have been made complete, and wa
could .have carried their intrenched camp at
Corinth. It will be impossible, on account of
the .condition of the roads, to do it now for
sums data.
The Rohel artillery was euperior to onrs,
their small arms were nlmostyjqiml. The Reb
el bnjs was 15.000 killed anil wounded ; ours
was 10,000. These will be found moderate es
timates, *
The enemy hare taken more prisoners than
we. The Bth lowa were captured en masse.
"When the reporter left, on Wednesday morn
ing, our advance, which bad been pursuing the
Rebels, had only occupied the ground formerly
held by the enemy;•half-way between Pittsburg
and Corinth. The enemy are straining every
nerve to get in reinforcements, and bloody
work muat Jot occur before we drive them
from their position.
Reappearance of the Merrimac.
Fortress Monroe, Apiil 11, 2. p. m.
The return of pleasant weather to-day brought
the Merrimac a* was generally anticipated. She
had been seen’ three days ago, under steam at
Cran'ey Island, and as the evening of yesterday
promised that the storm had exhausted itself,
few were surprised this morning at the an
nouncement lha't she was in sight coming down.
The alarm was fired at twenty minutes past
seven o'clock, and as soon, as the appearance
of the Merrimno known, the
dorks, beach, ramparts of tlie fortress, and
other points commanding a view, were crowded
with spectators.
The Merrimac after showing herself beyond
Sewall’a -Point, appeared to be heading this
wart She did not lung continue on this course,
however* but turned towards James river, fol
lowed by sis other gunboats, which had Oomo
round the point in her company. Of the latter,
the Jamestown and Ydrktuwn were recognized,
Among th 6 others were supposed to be the
Raleigh and Tcazer.
Arriving; at a point about half way between
SewaU’f Point and Newport News Point, and
near she place where the French war vessels
Gassendi and Catinet, and the, steamer Rinaldo
had placed themselves early jn the morning,the
whole fleet came to a slop, while the J.unes
sowp, followed at some distance by the I'urk
.town and a small too, continued on her course.
The intention of the Jamestown was not at
first perceived. As she came around leaving
Newport. News on her left, it was seen that her
object was to capture two brigs and a .schooner
which were anchored near the shore, about
two njiles from the point. This was alone
without the slightest difficulty, and the assis
tance of the small tug being rendered the three
prizes wore taken off under the Rebel flag.
~ ;Xhe whole affair was concluded in less than
half an hour, ana the " Jamestown having re
joined the fleet, was ordered, to tow the prizes
to Craney Island. Taking one brig in tow a
.stern and the others alongside, she moved slow
ly away.
~ Slightly alahned at this bold dash, quite a
number of schooners in the upper harbor avail

FROM 'TEE BUCK-TAILS.
Alexandria, Va., April 7, 1862.
Friend Agitator, —As week after, week
rolls aroundj they each in their turn develope
new plans—new fields of operation and , new
movements unthought of by us, and if ynqican
judge by the move already made, not long enn-
I templated by those in command. Three weeks
j have already passed since, we arrived in this
camp, wearjy and wet, expecting to. take ship
ping the neitt day for , but as day after
day has passed away our chansesTlKveJuoked
less favorable, until it is now a settled fact that
M, Call’s division is not to go Soulh by water,
but is to take the overland rouie, through Man
a'sas.and from thence to, no one knows, whore.
Why this change has been made no one pre
. tends to imagine, fur Simmon’s division has
1 been sent from Manassas to Alexandria, and
from heio South by water, and ours is to take
their place.’ ■ We do not know when, we will
start, but are under marching orders and are
ready to leave at an horn's notice.
Tuesday night. —l was obliged to leave this
yesterday on account of the stornj, which made
my little coop so wet and muddy I could not
write.' Yesterday about noon ii began to rain
and snow together, it stormed hard all the after
noon, all night, and all day ti>dny, and is com
ing down how as though the upper , regions
were bound to all leak out; I think .there has
snow- enough fell within the , thirty hours'to
make it two feet deep,if it had not melted near
ly as fast as it fell. It is bard to imagine how
unpleasant our camp has been and is now.—
• You have already learned that we are without
tents, except tbu»e made by our oil cloths, .and
they are a ppor substitute in stormy weather,
for tl ey are: very apt to leak where they are
put together], and if one wakes up in the night,
and finds a little brook running on each side of
h nl, and the water dropping in bis face about
as fast-as sap drops fronj a maple tree, it only
serves to let him know that all is not moonshine
I w itbout.
I If you wish to know our condition exactly,
1 you can do so by taking two oil table cloths,
j fur they are much larger than ours, slick two
' stakes in the ground about two feet high, put
on a ridge pole, then s retch your cloths over
it, so it will be about six feet by nothing at the
top, two feet high, and as large as the timber
will make it at the bottom, lay your overcoat
| under you and your blanket over*you, with
your knapsack or boots for. a pillow, remember
this mu.-t be'sume. wet stormy lime, when the
snow and rain fall together, and the cold wind
blows, —a regular old “ lamb-killer,’ 3 in this
bouse you must stay, with your tent 1 mate, un
til you have seen enough of camp life, at least
a week,' —cook your own meals over a little fire
rtl the mouth of your kennel, in a tin cup—if
' you have nothing else—and roast your meat on
a stick. Suppose that you do get tired, change
directions by the rigid flank, and day down a
gain, lids has been our condition for the last
36 hours, and is like to be all night. I trust
that those who rend this letter and others, that
they have already seen, and those which may
come in the future, will not think wo are dis
heaiti el and would gladly leave this fur a job
i unfinished, for if they do, they are greatly-mis
takes, for l|ie spirit of Dranesville still lives!
Wo hate no desire to rdturn homo until the
last gun Ims been fired,and the last rebel sleeps
in his grave, forever 1 I was down in Alexan
j dria, (modern Sodom) this afternoon, the streets
: are no longer thronged with soldiers—a few
| regiments were passing to the wharf, _but the
I greater portion have gone. Our division is the
only one left here, and wp leave in lift morning,
on the cars for Manassas. The rest of Mc-
Dowell’s corps is already beyond that noted
' spot, and are making their way South ns fast as
i time will let them. Before this month passes
away you will'bear tell of some tall times.
I rece.ved the following horrible fact to-day,
from the lips of a soldier direct from Manassa-;
tie is a member of the late Col. Baker’s First
California Regiment, and appeared to ho a can
did man. He said he, in company with a few
of his comrades, were wandering in the woods,
a short distance out of Manas-as, where .they
found a mad chained to a tree, with his legs
burned off,up to his knees, and his tongue'pull
ed out au.d burned to a crisp, and laid at his
side, his clothes showed that he was a Union
man. You ean have this for what it is worth.
I got it from the man who says he saw it. From
all appeapanpes lie appeared’fo have been there
three or four weeks. Such acts reminds one of
the early, history of i ur country when the red
men crept from the forest at midnight, to com
mit their depredations upoti the first settlers of
America. You get this letter because I have
broken the military tactics by slipping|uut of
camp, and have got into a good dry room in the
hospital. ’ My room is not warm hut pleasant,
in comparisu(t to camp. Around me is situated
ten or twelve! from a . down to a private,
having a jolly old time,singirig songs and crack
