SHALL OEASE, ABITATIOH MOST CONTHfUE. few joined voices in the Star-Spangled'Banners when ws-received orders fora detail for picket, and that we should lie on onr arms in line of battle, and- fires extinguished. All along the toad we had heard reports of the late rebel raid into Pennsylvania, and we bad reason to think ;tbat we migbt.be surprised by the indomitable Stuart. u It was a good lesson to qs at least; though we did not expect trouble. Every voice was hashed, all yras darkness, and. we lay down upon mother earth in onr great posts to pass the night in. repose' preparatory to another inarch on the-following day. There was not much time wasted in bed on the morn’s‘dawn: for the keen morning air was too catting,’and the biasing faggots cast out a reviving heat which all songbt to appro priate. 1 Again we were nn the march. Now we be ■ gan to see the -effect of the late awful scenes of destruction which followed the retreat of the rebels-on their way from Frederick. Decayed and decaying horses and males, fences prostra ted, buildings homed, fields, of. grain trampled -down, marked the way. We passed South 'Mountain, and all along there we saw where ; tbebollets aud eonnon shots- bad penetrated the walls, roof or other parts of dwellings and outbuildings; while the trees, fences and all objects along the road were shattered as if by a shower of hail. Occasionally a row of new made graves' marked the resting place of those fmfortnnate heroes who fell on that fated Sab bath I It. was there that the Wisconsin 7tb, after having discharged all their ammunition, received the fire of the rebels so gallantly at a charge. There was a Tioga Boy, brother of Orderly Prutsman of our Company, who is spoken of in great praise for his conduct there and at Antietam. He is a Sergeant, but has had charge of his company since the battle of Bull Run, where his Captain and First Lieu tenant were wonnded, as-I understand. On our march we noticed an unusual array of pretty girls, fixed up in the best style, with smiling countenances, and bright eyes; and from this we were reminded that it was now Sunday.— Poor girls 1 They must wait many a long day before they again behold their Soldier lovers, walking up the bill or along the river road, of a Sunday evening,' to meet the more than friend ly greetings awaiting them there;; and many, indeed, must sigh and watch in vain for the absent, who fall on.the field of battle in a stran ger country, and rest in the silent, unknown grave of the soldier, giving bis life ns a shield to tbeni, those - who follow, their homes, and native land ! Ah ! wait and watch I And when the misty valley beyond the dying hour shall be passed, the last shadow of hope will have vanished, and they will turn with sorrow away, mourning the memory of those they love ! The cottage in prospect, with its cheerful fire—side and domestic bliss, will vanish from tho fancy ; the widow will mourn the loss of_ her son, the orphan, the departed brother, and desolation dark, mournful, and dreary, will prevail where so lately nothing but hope and happiness in expectancy, were known. Qod forgive the wickedness of men, in thus rending human hearts by the cruelty of war I We passed through Boonsborough, where there are very many wounded in hospitals. Toward night ws came up to the line where the great battle of Antietam was fought, crossing that creek where the center of our army fought, the galliant Hooker contending on the right, and the intrepid Burnside away off to the left. There were some lone graves scattered over the fields, and frequently we caught sight of the iron balls and unexploded shells which lay in triumph along the road side. John Keedey a gentleman to whom I was referred by Lieut. Bailey, said that there are many soldiers buried on his farm, and that he would take pains to put up such marble as any one might wish, charging nothing for hjp own trouble, if any who bare friends on bis farm, choose to ad dress him at Keedysville, Md., upon that sub ject. The graves are generally marked by simple wooden slabs, upon which the names' of those there buried are written or engraved. We were quite tired when we arrived here, though we had marched but 12 or 14 miles that day. We came through Sharpsbnrg, and are now encamped between there and the river, but a short distance of a mile, perhaps, from each. We are about 10 miles north of Har per’s Ferry, and something mo.re than that north east of Martinsburg. Attached to the division in command of Gen. Rickets, we are in Hooker’s corps, and consequently in good company. The Reserves and 'Bucktails. are near by. Ip a few moments after we arrived, we were shaking hands with many old and val ued friends, and former associates. , Harried words were said ; and though tired in some de gree, it was midnight ere { lay down to dream of boyhood and wander over the history of-our unhappy cnuntry since those irresponsible days. The next day in company with a friend, I wandered about among the regiments in which we have friends, and hurried over the events which have transpired since they left us, and their houses in old Tioga, to' come to the defence of; our common country. They are veterans, worthy the names, soldier and patri ot. They deserve a discharge from all danger and the praise of Americans for their bravery and great sacrifices. It was a pleasure for me to listen that night to the stories which two youthful friends, formerly my associates in different capacities, related of their experience upon the battle field. Then told me' many things of interest, and I hope- they may «ur vive the perils through 'which they must pees, to relate them to others. To see these old regi ments so dwindled down, makes one shudder, for those who are left. I saw the Bucktails going out to drill. Their whole regimentnum bers scarcely more than two of our Companies I I met Capt. Niles and Lieut. Kinsey. The former is in very bad health and -I am now in formed has started for home. Lieut. Kinsey is spoken of in very high terms-as a bravnsol- a competent and kind officer, and a gen tleman of moral and manly integrity. He was one of the first to come furth in the hour of bis country’s trying need, and deserves the great est credit for the oobrse he has taken. He is ■strictly temperate which seems-to-be an excep tion pretty generally to the that bon ’ nrad and brava regiment. ~ . Mr. Editor, I hate sometimes been ask* I who write* for the Agitator over the signa tory of *' Amator Jastitiae.” That name was assumed by me daring the [political strife pre ceding the election of IB6o,'when I deemed slavery tbe great question before the people, and thought the success, of the Republican Partythe beat remedy for that evil. We are all foolish at some eras, and most of os at all stages of life; and I. like the boy who makes rhyme (who baa. not committed that sin ?) lor poetry, seemed to think there was something in a name, and believing there was nothing in my own, adopted the above phrase, “ lover of justice." • Now, though I am fond of question ing!; I do net like to be quisled ; and to put Boyfriends to whom I hare, spoken under this title at rest, I will hereafter append my own name, however homely it may be, and how different soever in signification from the self ’ sufficient phrase, Amator Jastitiae. When I hereafter make mistakes in orthog raphy or otherwise, I oaooot shelve them upon others ; but I think there shonld be a reasona ble allowance made while I am away from tbe book of Noah, for 1 cannot .carry the material dictionary in my eye or ear; though I had one at home which I bad in my eye from boyhood, which I learned by heart, and even now trea sure! above all others. I was married to my dictionary there, and for years we have been companions, so that we miss each other very much, as it is impossble to keep each other during my stay in the army. Td-day (I6tb) we were presented with tbe Statg colors by a delegate, Mr. Scott, sent here for that purposed by Gov. Curtin, whose duties rendered it impossible for | him to be here in person. Appropriate remarks were made' by him nnd responded to by Col. Bayne in a short and suitable speech. Our new guns, thaSpring field. also came this evening. Ail day we have bear|( heavy cannonading in the direction of Harper’s Ferry. There are a great many troops about here, which we hope may, be brought into jreqdisition if a general action comes off. There is very little seen or known by us out side bf cur camp, save what we got through the papers, which are not very plenty here.— We are close by the ford where the rebels crossed back into Virginia, and may be moved across, the riyer at any time,unless it rises.— We are now under orders to have two days’ rations cooked' and on hand at ail times, so ti\at we may be ready to march at a mo ment's warning. This is so throughout tbe whom-carps. I cannot see what it means un less wk are to ernes, and act in conjunction with four army at Harper’s Ferry against Mar tinsbWg; or perhaps they are attempting to recro|ss the Potomac. A balloon ascends from Gen. (Porter’s Head Quarters every day or two. Our pickets do not extend across tbe river.— i The rebel picket* are frequently seen on tbe | other side. We are having a smart rain which j will make it bad fur .the poor wounded men who lie out upon the cold battle field to-night. The sanitary condition of our company is good, eave.those whofti we left, that were unable to marcti. Very Respectfully yours, j Jno. I. Mitchsll. j From a -Tioga Boy. ! Faiaraz Coukt House, V*„ ) | ' Got. 16.1862, j Felend Agitato*. —Having left your county nearly four years j>go, and being a resident and nntivji of Tioga County for many years, I cun cluded to write a few lines, hoping that many of my remembered friends, who are yet left to attenjf to home affairs, may find that I am one among the many brave boys of Tioga County, who sre yet alive and in the service, although lamjh an Ohio rogiment. At the time this rebellion broke out, I was in Ohio. I elisted in the three month service, and jn. the 15tb regi ment; We were in Virginia nearly four months without getting a pop at a reb, but doing con siderable of guard duty, and'some very hard marches. Not being satisfied with three months’ hardships, and seeing that we did not whip them before breakfast as we intended, and many large prizes being offered for the scalp of Jeff. Davis, 1 concluded to try it again, so 1 enlisted in the 61st, Ohio Infantry, thinking I would surely get to see the bear dance this time without fail, which I have, as our regiment has been |in three ..battles. * We lost our Brigade General, Bohlsji, at Rapadnn River. We were in no! side show there. We lost many men therej Some were drowned crossing the River. The last battle was at Bull Run, where we had to do some tall walking .for a short time, with now and then a shell bursting at the rear, close enough to dust our coat tails, and make us think of "the gal we left behind us.” We left many of -our regiment there lying on the field. Qur regiment.is flow reduced to not 'quite four hundred. We have many sick and wounded in the hospital. I had the good luck to meet with the Penn sylvania Reserves, where I found many of my old friends and sebuol mates, some of them I have since learned, have fallen, never to rise. I remained with the Reserves two days—mads many enquiries about the people ef Wellsboro —would like to have stayed longer, but at that time Siegel’s corps was moving, and I had' to move too. AfteiSwandering for five days, I found my way bock to the regiment. We have been encamped near Fairfax Court House, near ly three weeks, where we have done considera ble of picket doty, and bad. quite a rest, ,-y Sutlers see rather bard times, ss so many of their goods go free gratis ; but at tbs same time it goes to benefit the soldier. We have in our brigade, tbe seventy-third and seventy-fourth Pennsylvania regiments, which have dene well thus far. Before I enlisted, 1 occasionally got, the Ag itator, which posted me as. to. official matters' in Tioga County, and business matters in Wells boro. We now get the Baltimore Clipper, which post* os one dey, and the next disputes {the whole. We are. expecting daily to hear that Stonewall Jackson is retreating towards the Qulf of Mexico. We base joet recei»ed orders to go on picket, so I will close for the present. H. B. N, To PxcsEsra Appjxb non RnmNG.~Put them into a dry cellar, of easy access te a large family of children.

How happens it that she may be willful, capri cious, perverse, jealous, ill tempered, ignorant, selfish, a detractress ( all with popular applause, if sbe be or appears to be wfaat tbe world calls chaste ? How happens it that in her talents, honesty, temper, generous feeling, independ ence of spirit, benevolence, charity and dish* terestedness, are too light to outweigh' the sin gle venial crime—if prime it must be called-*- of offending against-the fortfia and etiquette of orthodox morality ? How .happens it that man’s constancy and chastity, are but single individual items in our estimate of his charao . ter, and that in- woman’s, they are made to con stitute the one thing needful,'without which no virtue can entitle to respect, and with,, which, scarcely any vice can degrade to dishonor ? How happens it? It happens because men have chosen to attach more importance to their ’ own selfish fancies, than tbe wellbeing and'reii! virtue of a woman. It happens because an of fence against man’s vanity has been idly inter* preted into a heavier crime than the of fence against social wellfare. It happens bet cause our, customs and our prejudices took their rise in a period when men were lords and mas* ters, ana-women closeted slaves. ; : When mankind begin to value reason, and cherish human liberty, these will not be>tfee only questions that will obtrude themselves in con-' - nection with woman s situation and Interests,, They will begin to enquire whether iti is ratiua al or Useful. The ready sensibilities andqnic'c affections of women, be precociously and ■ «*-, clnsivcly cultivated. Ought women’s.'bumpi ness to be endangered* and wrecked,-that, .she, may form a better subject for a sentimental, tale, or a better, heroine for a romantic tragedy ?* Is the peace .of her life to be placed within the reach of every selfish trifler who may chance' to gain her affections, and who may be too ig, norant or too heartless to value what he has gained? Is the first fancy ofyonth-to ruin all' the best prospects of, matnrer age ? Is there ‘ nothing to win the attention, to engage the , sympathies, to awaken the ambition, to occupy* tbe thoughts but, one only 'passion ? Is sci-' ence devoid, of attraction, and. is the welfare and improvement bf mankind without Interest for her ? Why must she sit in passive sorrow, idle, secluded, forever brooding over' one del a- ; sive dream, forever the companion of her own’ desponding recollections,? If all this must be we cannot but regret and lameotit. But where- 1 fore mnst it be. Custom can find very pretty specious replies to these questions; but the,' time is soon coming when custom will not ha considered infallible, and when reasons must bo* more than pretty and specious in order to be* i recognized as rational, or sanctioned as just. ■■ i Affecting.— A story is told of the veteran Sumner at the battle of Antietam. His eon, young Captain Sumner, a youth of t.wenty-onp, was on his staff. The old man calmly stood, amidst a stoimof shot and shells, and .turned to send him through a doubly raging fire, upon a mission of doty. He might never see his boy again, but bis country claimed bis life and, as he looked' upon his brow, he grasped his hand, encircling him in bis arms, and fond ly kissed him. *• Good bye, Sammy,” “ Good bye, father,” and the youth mounting, his horse, went gaily on the message. He re turned unharmed; again bis hand was grasped with a cordial J’ How d’ye do, Sammy ?” an swered by a grasp of equal affection. The scene was touching to those around. Freaks or a Squirrel.— One of the squir rels on ths Boston Common, having been in the habit of helping himself to a peanut now and then from a fruit stand near the, West' street gate, the woman who tends the stand ‘ covered np the peanuts with a cloth. "When" 5 the squirrel next came on a foraging expedi- f tion, finding the peanuts covered,’ he seized oh a peach and made off with it. The woman gave chase, and the squirrel dropped the punch ; ' but finding that he had drawn the woman two or three rods from the stand, he started hack on the doable quick, snd seizing a nut before the woman could get back, made off with it much to the amusement of the bystanders. One day a simple farmer who had just, bur ied a rich relation, an attorney, was complain ing, of the great expense ef a funeral caval cade in the country. “ Why, do you bury your attorneys here J” asked Foote. “ Yes, to be sore we do; bow else ?” “ Ob, we never do that in London.” “ No!” said • the other, much- surprised; ■ " how do yoa manage ?” ' " Why, when the patient happens to die, wn ] lay him oat in a room over night by him»<>Tf, lock the door, throw open the eaeh, and in the'' morning be ia entirely off. •* Indeed I" »aid the other, with amazement ;k what become* of him?” . " Why, that we oannot tell; all we .know s there’* etrongemell of brimstone .in the n'u.n the next morning.” A young lady fainted 'at,dinner, the elberc day, because' tbs servant brought a roast.’ pijg. on the table that showed its bare legs. “ What made you faint f”. anxiously en-, qnired her friends as soon as aba came to. "The nakedness of,that horrible qnadi-i-' pad," sobbed this bashful piece of modeaiy, ‘‘Och, an' bedad,” exclaimed the earyno who had brought in the oficmsi«e p|l lector.,' “ The, object is laudable.” "No it, isn’t.” replied Savin; “not half so mj\ny.peppla go to the devil now as ought to."
