' '» FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, WILLIjAM S„ ROSSi OF LUZERNE COUNTY. ° ‘I ' : ' J General Election. Tae.day, October 14. Ever since its organization the Republican party lias professed none but the roost Union loving sentiments. When defeated in the great contest of 1850, it quietly and without a mur mur submitted to the constitutionally expressed will of the majority. No one now doubts in view of the history of the past two years that if the Pro-slavery Democracy bad Been defeat ed then, the rebellion would have begun then. When Fort Sumpter was fired upon and our National Flag insulted, the whole North arose like one roan .to wipe out the insult. Party names and party issues were forgotten in the general desire to save our liberties and our firesides. For our part we were determined then, and are determined now that party names and party issues shall alike be forgotten until the great question of the Union shall be de cided, except so far as these shall be deemed necessary to preserve our organization. We arc for a united North on this question, and we will not allow the opponents of this senti ment to move us from our determination. They tried it last year under thh specious pretext of “no party”'—tho object being to divide the only unconditional Union party in the county, and thereby elect a few political hacks from both parties into office. The people lifted the mask/ from’the face of the “no party” ticket, reoogi nized the creature and sent it to rest in obsou-' ritv This year the concern starts np again under new auspices with an entire change of pro-, gramme. Tbe fact is ignored that tbe Repub lican party in its call made no issues except that of loyalty. But it will be found that the whole secret of the movement of these so-called Union party leaders to divide the loyal masses, lies in the fact that David Wilmot, the repre sentative man of Pennsylvania in tbe United States Senate must be stricken down, and a Val- Democrat elected in his place. That is one of their objects, an object pub licly avowed here on the day of the Conven tion, and for which Dr. Webb, a pure-minded patriotic anti-slavery man was' sacrificed, to make room for a man who pledges himself to further this scheme if he should be elected to the Legislature. Thus the people may see that in order to divide and defeat the Republicans ; in order to strike a blow at Wituoi the great champion of freedom and the Union in Penn sylvania ; in order to help crush out the brave men who hove stood by principle through good and evil report, this “Union” ticket is formed, and you are all urged to vote if. The rebels crossed tbe Potomac on Fri day night and. Saturday morning at several points above and below Point of Hocks,' and before noon on Saturday were in pos session of Frederick, the. capital of Mary land. If is also reported that they have crossed tbe Potomac west of Harper’s Ferry', but this report is not confirmed. Fugitives, who loft Frederick on Saturday night, re- 1 ported the city* to be in possession of about 5,000 rebels, under General Hill, who bad issued a. prods mation, promising protection to private property, and appointed a Provost Guard. The 1 latest despatches from the vicinity* says ;that the rebels still hold the place in heavy force, under command of Gen. Johnson, while Jackson was reported to be 15 miles bejow Point of Rocks.— Poolcsville was also said tq be in rebel pos session—their forces being arrayed in line of battle, awaiting an attack. The rebels are represented to be very exultant, and to express the determination to capture Wash ington, butsay they will firstgofurther north to procure supplies.

Citizens arc organizing themselves into companies under the Gov ernor’s proclamation, which we publish in to-day’s paper. The employees of'the Pa.

A large number bf arms have been sent to Adams and Franklin counties. Advices from Gainesville, two miles be yond Bull Run; state that the rebel General A. P. Hill, arrived there with 35,000 men from Richmond. They passed through Culpepper Coprt House and Walrenton. .The bridge oyer the Rapidan has been re paired, and the enemy expect to have rail road communication from Richmond to Warrenton in a few days. A great, many of our wounded were on the field up to Sun day night—their condition dreadful—many of them beipg in a state of starvation; Most of them might; have been saved had proper precautions and efforts been made. The Bucktail Brigajde is in Washington, and makes a fine appearance. We have advices that the railroad depot, at Aquia Creek, together with fifty cars and a small anjount of stores, were destroy ed by the National troops. The arms and -engines wore all saved.

From the S3d Pennsylvania Regiment. Yorkiown. Va., August 28jT802. 1 * * * —l wjll now try and fulfill roy prom- I ise, and give a brief nccountof our movements ; since we left Harrison’s Landing. All the of | fleers’ baggage, hod the mens’ knapsacks had j been shipped off! a number of days before we • left,-and it was not until the afternoon of the 17th, that we received .orders to stride tents | and prepare to march. We soon started, but i after going about a mile, were ordered back to | our old camp where we remained till midnight, and then started again. This time we did not stop going at a quick march until morning, when we halted for half an hour, which the men occupied in cooking and eating their break- We marched very fast all and at night were 15 miles from our old camp. This may net seem much of a march to make in one day, but you must remember that a tramp with and without our guns, equippage, 60 rounds of cartridges, and personal effects, is two different things, and we were very willing to prejpare for a night’s rest after having gone that distance; but after we had baited, a# we eupposed fur the night, our regiment went two miles farther on picket, where we passed the night undisturbed, and in the morning went back and joined our brigade. A short time before we started back, 4 drove of hogs were discovered in a piece of woods a short distance off, and in a few min uted, mare'than a hundred men were after them. It is against orders to fire a gun when On pick et, unless attacked by the enemy, but this could not stop us in our work of destruction, for hav ing surrounded the drove, we made a [gallant bayonet charge,'and in a'short time had as much fresh meat as we could conveniently car ry. The squealing made by a score of stack bogs, 1 was deafening, and if there were’ any rebels within ten miles of ns, they could have easily, told that the Yankees were coming. - Our army cami dnwn the peninsula: on the line of the James’ River, till it reached the Cbickabominy, and the rout lay through a re gion hitherto visited by neither army, and un til ours came the .large fields of corn and' wheat, and orchard's bffrnit hadremained andistdkbed, but oiir men took anything .eatable without re straint from the officers bt their own conscience,, for they fcpew the inhabitants are their conn tr’ys enemies, ejen if not openly in arms— know it.by our murdered teamsters, anil their, refusal to sell provisions to our men, and, as is natural, they toojt whperer they wisßod,Jthbn jb in no instance have I known them to take any-? thing but provisions. There wasjarge fields of eornoir every plantation that was cultivated, and which was in juSt the right condition for roasting and boiling, and when our rest of fift. teeh minutes came at the end of. every hour’s m trchingj-fires wonld-spring up ae if- by -mag * ic, and roast corn would be all the gonntil the* ordef would come to “fall in,""and then if they bad ears that were partly done, they would be carried until the next halt and then finished.— At the end of the third day’s march, our divi sion lenoamped near a field of 300 or 400 acres of cjirn, and 1 doubt if ten bushels of corncan be harvested next fall from the whole piece.— There was also an abundance of apples, pears, peaoSes, and plums, mostly ripe, itnd these Suf fered in a like proportion. . Oor second day's march was as rapid ns the firsli and about 4 o’clock, baited for the night, f<'ur]miles on this side of the Chicknhominy., About noon, while marching by the side of a movjng train of artillery, a cannonier attempt ed tj> mount a caisson, but bis foot slipped and his head came beneath the ponderous wheel of the 1 wagon, and in an instant his life was' crushed out as quickly as though he had thrown himself before the idol Joggcrbaut, of the Hindoos. His remains were, placed in an ambulance,=and when the train stepped for the night, were buried, and until the final resur rection day, will repose on ther banks of the Chicknhominy. Man seems to take, a painful pleasure in de scribing the borrow of the battlo'field, but it is ; riot equaled by the sufferings of those acciden tally wounded, and by the victims of linger ing disease, which' mnkes death welcome when it finally comes to tneir relief. In a great ar my liVe ours, deaths from disease arc constantly occurring. The solemn-notes of the death march are ever heard—the wailing notes of the muffled drum, are never silent. The blanket that protected them from the cold and storms in life, is now their shroud in death, and in the rude soldier’s grave,.in a land of traitors, and for away from their -Northern -homes, they lie where no loving mother or fond sisteri can kneel above their graves, and weep for those who risked and. lost thoir lives in the defence of the best government a nation ever had. We crossed the Chickahominy on a pontoon bridge, which was built across the stream about two miles from its month. The river here ip over half a mile in width, but it retains its un usual width only for a short distance above the bridge, and this is caused in a groat measure by the tide flowing np from the James River. As you may not be acquainted with mode of constructing pontoon bridges, I will give yon a short description of the one on which we crossed the Chickahominy. The boats that support the bridge, are about 30 feet in length, and 8 in width ; they are built flat on the bottom, and are rounded on only a few- feet distant from each end. These, with their portion of the bridge, are rowed to their position lengthways the stream, with a distance of about 15 feet between ench boat.— Timbers are laid from one boat to another, and on these the planks are laid and secured ; each boat has its anchor, which is cast to' prevent the bridge from being carried away by the cur rent. This is but a poor account of them, but 1 have had but a poor chance to learn their mode of construction. After leaving the Chickahominy, our route lay more to the left and toward the interior, and about 10 o’clock, we reached Williamsburg, 8 miles from our camp of the night before.— Hero a few of our company bought a good meal for 50 cents each, and 1 .happened to be one of the number. It seemed very awkward to me at least to sit at a table where we ought to act like decent folks, and I guess they thought we were a pack of starved savages, by the way the warm biscuit and butter, and oth er, good things disappeared, which our secesh landlord provided for us—and with our gun equippage on, and gray with dust, wc certainly must have been a pretty hard looking set. But it was the first soft bread we had tasted in over four months, and if Jeff. Davis could have seen us eating, he would have though fora certainty that,his supplies were being cut off, and his ar my in danger of starving. The inhabitants of Williamsburg have most ly remained at home, still they are thorough secessionists, as has been plainly shown by their actions, for when our army passed through there last spring, nothing was to be seen of them except by an occasional glimpse through a half closed shutter. The darkies only showed their bonds above the tops of. the walls but no re straint could hinder them from showing their ivories to their fullest extent. ..Now, however, when our army was on the Backward march, they swarmed at the doors and porticoes, and grinned with a fiendish delight on our dusty and sunburnt soldiers, who plodded wearily through their dusty streets. Two miles this side of Williamsburg, we came to the battle field of the sth of last May. You may remember my having written to you after.the battle, stating that for two days I was engaged in helping bury the dead of both ar mies. The graves of those that were buried in the cleared (land, are now covered with thick weeds, five or six feet in bight, and the graves can only be found by parting the rank weeds from above them. Part of the battle was fought in a largo body of fallen timber that bad been cut by ijie rebels, to give their guns on Fort Magruder, a wider range. i In this the rebels were posted, and into this the Jersey Blues of the Excelsior brigade, made their resistless bayonet charges, and where the finest of our men were slain. In removing the killed and .wounded from the fallen timber we often found the bodies of- those that had been wounded, 'and who J had crawled into the thick tree tops where theyhad died, and it was with great difficulty that their bodies were found; in fact, they were never all found, for in .going to a spring to fill, my canteen with water, I passed over a portion of the ground which has behn burnt over during the summer, where I saw the white and burned bones of. a number, who, in the agonies of death, bad crawled beneath the thick fallen timber,"' where they had died. In some instances, the long bony fingers still clutched the barrel of the deadly rifle, and which they thus retained in their grasp, long after the life of its owner had departed. I have seen men go down never more to rise, when struck by the’ demon, minie ball, and torn in pieces by the bursting shell, and in every stage of decomposition, but I have never seen anything half so horrid and repul sive, as were these charred and ghastly skele tons, whose eyeless sockets'and cheekless faces still seemed to gaze, and grin with a ghastly power at the looker on.’- - Thus they lie-and the bones of friends and foes ore mingled together. ' After having marched six miles this side of Williamsburg,’- we_ Halted and staid'there the >rem> inder of that day, and the next. Near j our camp was ati apple orchard' that was well!1 loaded-withr fruit, and after we grew tired of eating it, our Yankee bojr rigged up, an oli cider mill and went to making cider. -Ilia fear of the Yankees must have, been great by the owner Of the plantation, for when they came i he emigrated in such hastens to leave bis stock ancTriearly every thing else to the mercy oT the vandals which was not very lenient, if lam to. judge by the amount of fresh meat that was brought into camp whil? we were there. - • ' After remaining hero about one and a half days, we again started, and after a two hours’ march, reached Yprktown. We were told wc would take shipping at Yorktown, and the men were very willing such should be the case, for their long marching in the dust and sand, had made most of them foot sore. But when we reached-the towri, we did not halt, but passed it and its immense breastworks, and forts, and the men began to put on long they came to the conclusion that they would have to march to Fortress Monroe, 20miles distant. — After going about three miles, we halted and formed our camp, but next day, removed it within half a mile of Yorktown, arid the next day were ordered inside of the fort. Until with in a few days, the town has been guarded by a regiment of‘French and German Zouaves, and the.Sth N. Y.- Militia. This is a 3 months’ reg iment, whose time has- expired, and they left yesterday for home. Yorktown is not ns large ’as Wellsborp, but ns small ns it is, it has drawn the attention of the civilized world, for here it was expected, and with good reason, too, that two mighty,ar mies would meet in the deadly shock of battle, and decide whether slavery or freedom should rule the Western Continent, The main fort that surrounds Yorktown, is by far the 'strongest of .any I have yet seen ; Fort Monroe, excepted. The walls near the main western gateway, are full 30 feet in highth on their front, and with an everago width of 18 feet at the top. Most of the way the walla are mounted at short intervals with 8 and 10 inch enlmnbiads. Part of the way on the water bat teries, these immense guns are not over 10 ‘yards apart, and with furnaces for beating solid shot,, directly in their rear. These guns are nineTeet in length, and about two and one half feet in diameter at the breech. They are moun ted on a huge revolving carriage, and can Be ranged in any direction; Each carriage is qiarked, “General Magruder,”..while on the gun is stamped the names of the iriakors. The co- Irimbiads weigh 8,800 pounds each. The were spiked by the rebels when they evacuated this ijdnoe, but Yankee ingenuity has drawn the spikes, and they are now in perfect order. _ Our whole regiment has been turned into the , artillery service, .and we now have three drills daily, of one hour each, on the heavy guns of of the fort. Heavy artillery and iight infantry tjictios,-are entirely different, but the former is quite easy to learn, and we are rapidly acqui- - iring skill in their use,-to enable us to make a big racket with them, if necessary. * * * * * * * I We received ore mail the day after we got here, but have not received any since. • The reason given for its non arrival, is because the ;ahthorities at-Washington do not yet know where to send it. Our brigade contains all the troops now here, and we are told it will remain lapd hold this place. Cecil. A. Deave. , 'PROCLAMATION OF GOV. CURTIN, 1 Harrisburg, Sept. 4, 1 P.
