I’ will give ytm a part of Justory ®f affairs here as well as I can under the circumstances. On 4he 12tb of May. we left Baton Rouge to be gone as we supposed four days: taking nothing with us except arms and what clothes we had on. We marched about 12 miles and bivouacked about a week in one place, ■ Our Brigade con sisting of about 2300 men then moved on to wards Port Hudson: on the morning of the 21st Inst./when- within 5 miles, of Huy place , when marching through a thick wood, suddenly ■we were opened upon by a battery of 6 pieces of artillery pasted on an eminence, raking tfao' road.' w,e were approaching most effectually. • Aflat two or three’ shots bad been fired our. ar tillery was ordered up on it run, and sow placed in position, i thlen witnessed an artil lery duel, and was not qnly-an anxious specta toi*lut was soon chosen as one of , the. Seconds. -The General ordered me up pith-my Regiment at a double-quick to .support the battery.- I marched up and deployed to the right, while the 174th N. Y. Col. Gott, deployed to the left ‘of theroadj we were ordered to remain with the battery and repel any Sssault tbat might be made with infantry or cavalry—we'were compelled to remain silent, anxious .cons.orts'to the. battery as the enemy was out of -range of musketry. The firing was brisk on both sides for the space of two hoars, When the Rebels gave way’onJ we advanced' and occupied their position at once. The. Ifilst was the first to reach the position. We had scarcely recovered ourselves when they opened- a fresh 'battery - upon us, and with abont the same result.' Wo beat them in their own eboseh'position. Our loss in killed and wonnded iiabout 130, and strange to say not a man in our regiment was hurt. The 2d'Brigade came up during the fight by another road and bad a snug battle of infantry fighting,-but the Rebels gave way in' all directions and we were masters of the whole field, and slept Iwhere we had 1 fought and won. The next day we received a dispatch from Geii, Banks tliftt he had crossed the Mississippi above, and ordering us on to meet him before Port Hudson.

Most truly yours, G. T. Haeeoweb. THE AGITATOR. M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, WBLLSBOROU GH, PBNN’A; WEDNESDAY, POLTHOOUBY. A mob is always cowardly and cruel; always savage, sullen, and unreasoning. It is the un kempt devil in human nature* let loose. And the man who descends to entreaty and expostulation with a full-blown mob, is a pol troon of the lowest order and unfit for any thing, higher than the snpejintendenoy of the fiendish destruction of public charities, and the slaughter of innocent women and children. When we went to press last week-the city of New York was in the hands of an infuriated mob. The pretext of tjie mob was the draft. But the real object of the outbreak, as appears by the doings of the mob, was Plunder, first, and the overthrow of the authority of the Gov ernment as a final result. Tbe leaders in this raid upon law and order are Horatio Seymour, Governor of New York, Fernando Wood, James Brooks, James Gordon Bennett, and the editors of those leading cop perhead papers, .the World and the News. Here is the proof: On theAth day of the present month, being- the anniversary of tbo birth of the Republic, Horatio Seymour made a speech in New York City, iu which he at tempted to rally the people against the Gov ernment by inflammatory appeals to their pas sions and partisan prejudices ; -denouncing the Government as despotic and tyrannical, but ut tering not a word in denunciation or reproach of traitors in arms. So much for Horatio Sey mour. At the great June Peace Meeting” held in that city, Fernando Wood urged the people to resist the Government. So much for Wood. Brooks and Bennett have filled their fcolumns with inflammatory'appeals to popular passions and prejudices, for months past. The World and the News, on the mining- of the outbreak, fairly Maced with appeals calculated to kindle frenzy hi the minds of the ignorant and vicious, and inviting resistance to the draft in terms not susceptible of two interpretations. We have the evidence before usjfcora their own columns. r Now witness what followed: The Irish gathered in the Ninth Congressional District and destroyed the drafting apparatus and the building in which it was being used. This is _the only action with'A defined'public object of which that ftiobban be found guilty-. From that moment the-outbreak seemed devoted to • » 1 - Ir r . , robbery, murder,- ftnd arson, almost indiscrim inately prosecuted. Stores were pillaged of their goods, dwellings were robbed, gutted and set on fire, men were stopped in the streets by ■armed ruffians, knocked down and robbed, and "then beaten to death;’ unoffending negroes Were taken from_Uio cars, and .from their bou ses, and beaten and bung to the lamp-posts; an Orphan Asylum was attacked, its helpless : inmates turned out of doors, and the building burned’; and opfragej -which shall be nameless help to fix the character of that mob as the vi lest, the most abandoned-, the most hellish, that •the sun everthone.upon. And be it remem bered that, according to the report of a demo cratic paper, this mob "of highway robbers, of murderers, burglars, sneak thieves, and cow ards, proceeded in'a body to the supposed headquarters of Gen. McClellan , where they gave cheer upon cheer for “ Little Mac," and insisted upon giving him an ovation. But "Little Mac” —the idol of the universal mob, the swell mob —was notin tfce city. -We retain too high an" opinion of. him to doubt that ho rejoices that he was not there. But'the fact is significant. • And be it remembered further, that Govern or Seymour went down from Albany and un dortookto’ soothe those amiable brutes with a THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE. speech which will bring'the blush of shame to the cheek of every man not lost to shame. •« My friends,"- began the weak Horatio," "I have come down hereto see what was the diffi J oulty. Let me assure you that lam your friend.” “ Tou have been my friends,” he continued, to which the mob, fresh from the eminently deni-, ooratio pastime of murder and arson,-respond ed ; “ Yes, we, are, and will be again.” That is one of the confessions that are good for the soul. It was a case of mutual friendship. In that lawless, cowardly mob, Gov. Seymour rec ognized the power which made him Governor of New York. , That every voter in that crowd of murderers voted for Gov. Seymour, no man oan doubt. Such is the power that puts" the Woods, the Seymours, and the Brookses in of ficial position; and such is the power that is depended on to put Judge Woodward, and Val landigham fnto pawerfthe coming fall. It re mains for the friends of law and order to say, if the mob element shall control the ballot-box, or if we shall control it ourselves. We said that mobs are cowardly and Cruel. The instigators of mobs are poltroons of the lowest order; and the men who, whan the Hasps, -of that riot reached the distant towns and vil lages, either secretly or openly sympatbised with the purpose of that mob, and wished it success, are cowards of the vilest description. Thebe is a day coming when public opinion will scourge such men until they shall call on the rocks to fall upon them and hide them from the accusing eyes of mhn. The instiga tors of, sympathizers with, and apologists for, mobs, are poltroons of equal grade. If you, friend, or you, or you, of such a man in your respective communities, shun him as you would shun pestilence; and contribute nothing to swell his hoards, or the daily droppings into his till; and as you practice so teach others to do; and so send them, like whipped curs, down the road to ruin. This is legitimate punish ment. Let. traitors sustain each other if they can, but God forbid that true mgn and women should contribute to swell their gains'. The great uprising of the democ racy” in New York, was only a part of the programme of Jeff Daria for the overthrow of the Government. The invasion of Pennsylva nia and the copperhead riots were designed by the same master mind. The New York brutal ities were feebly imitated in Hartford, Boston, Troy, and Buffalo. The Troy democracy pro claimed their sympathies by setting free all the jail-birds. The Boston people conciliated the mob with grape and canister. The process was simple and effective. JOLT 22, 1863, Vallanuigham, after having consulted with his friend and fellow-traitor, Jeff Davis, was despatched by the latter to Canada, by the way of Nassau. The great martyr will co-operate with the Seymour-tVallandigham-Woodward democracy from that cool and refreshing, neu tral clime. We print on the first page a keen comment ary on the record of Judge Woodward, from the Philadelphia Press. We commend it to our readers as an admirable flaying of “ the man without n record.” The leader of the great Copperhead uprising in New York, Andrews, has been arrested and lodged in Fort Lafayette, lie wag found with his mistress, a colored woman. “Do we bear enough” about Amalgamation? Wont some copperhead paper howl a little about the negro worshippers ? New York has bad a three days’ reign of terror. Gov. Seymour tried compromise and “ my friends, please go home," on the sturdy copperheads who practice the fine arts of rob bery and assassination, and they returned to their pleasant pastime with recruited energy. A few brave commanders of detachments of troops tried the virtue of bullets and bayonets, and the cowards scattered like frightened sheep. Seymour was intent on securing votes for a second term, and thq military men were intent on securing the peace of the city. That’s the difference. When we sent out our paper last week was good reason to believe that Gen. Lee’s re treat across the Potomac was out off. We re gret to say that the measures taken to prevent the escape of the rebel army, failed of their ef fect, and .that army is now on Virginia soil. The blame of this matter is laid, not upou- Gen. Meade, but upon bis corps commanders, who; in council, voted not to renew the attack upon Lee at Hagerstown, where he was-oyer-: taken 'by onr army. Gan, Meade, doubtless, warned- by the fate of Burnside and Hooker, decided not to give battle with his corps cem mandeps equally divided in opinion. ~We think the country will sustain .Gen. Meadeiu fighting his own army in future. Ha has shown him self a map-of genius, andtho only general the Potomac army has evar.had competent to.han dle ty hundred thopsand men in the field".''His fame is too solid. to take mortal hurt from one neglect to take the responsibility ; but it will not da to McClellanize his future operations. As it wag, we 'succeeded in capturing the rebel rear guard, say 2,500 men, and their batr tery, , This was. at Falling Waters, where the main body crossed the Potomac; - The news from the Southwest is glorious. Port Hudson surrendered to Gen. Banks on the 9th inst., with 7,000 men, sixty cannon, and 10,000 small arms. The spoils of victory at Vicksburg and Port Hudson, sum up thus: Rifles and muskets, 60,000; field-pieces, 137 siege guns, 55"; stands of colors, 57; prisoners 38,000. And the loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, suffered by -the rebel armies since the first Any of July; is ninety-five thmxsahd. ■ The United States steam-transport Pulton, dapt. Eldredge, from Port Royal, S. C., on the 15th inst., arrived at New York on Saturday WAR NEWS morning, and reports that a combined attack was made on the 10th iost., by the land’and naval forces, consisting of five iron-dads and the troops under Gen. Gillmore. They havo taken nil the batteries on Morris Island, but Fort Waggoner, at which place they were re pulsed, Gen. Gillmore bad.commenoed mining the fort,- and it was expected that he would take it in a few days, as the siege was progress ing favorably. Gen, Gillmore bad taken all the fortifications on James Island as far as Seces siohville. . In consequence of the threat of Jeff. Dayis to execute Captain Sawyer and Flynn, in re venge for Geh. Burnside's execution of two Con federate officers who were recruiting within his lines, the United States Government has set apart the Rebel Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and Capt. Winder, (son of the notorious jailer of Libby Prison,) as hostages for our men. As Davis does by Sawyer and Flynn, so shall we do by Lee and Winder. We learn from Cincinnati that General Blunt has captured the Rebel stronghold at Little Book, the capital of Arkansas, and taken a large number of prisoners. The cannot now be any large rebel force in that State. With Vicksburg Gen. Grant captured 31,000 prisoners, 102 Afield piece?, 30 siege guns, 50,- 000. stand of arms, locomotives and cars, 57 -stand, of colors, 1 Lipt.-General, 4, Major- Generals, 14 brigadiers and 130 colonels. The terms of capitulation allow the officers and men to be paroled, ■ the former to retain their side arms, horses and personal property. Immediately after the surrender of Vicks burg, Gen. Sherman moved, in the direction of the Big Black River with a large army. -On the following day he met Geh. Johnston drawn up in line of battle. A sanguinary engage ment took place, resulting in Gen. Johnston’s deftrat, and the capture of j 2,000 prisoners, Gen. Frank P. Blair is reported to be in pos session of Jackson. \ Cincinnati, July 14.4-The main,body of Ghn. Bragg’s army has retreated from Chat tanooga to Atlanta. The presumption is, that the bulk of Bragg’s forces have been sent to Richmond to garrison it. RoScorans captured 4,000 prisoners during the late forward movement. Our army-are in high spirits and in splendid condition. Baltimore, July 16.—Surgeon General How ard, of the United States Army, arrived at Baltimore this morning, and had an interview with Major-General Sohenck. Upon unques tionable authority he reports the following cas ualties of Gen. Lee’s army at Gettysburg; Left behind 11,000 wounded, 8,000 wounded taken away by him, 4,500 buried by the Fed eral, and 17,00 p taken prisoners ; captured at Falling Waters, of Gen. Pettigru’s command, 1,000 prisoners and 4,000 killed and wounded— making an aggregate of 42,500 of Lee’s army. Cairo, July 15.— A bearer of despatches from Gen. Grant confirms the occupation of Port Hudson by General Banks. Our troops took possession on the 9tli inst. Tho entire garrison, consisting of 7,000 men, was captured. Also 32 field pieces, 25 siege gnns and 10,000 stand of small arms. We have Major-General Gardner, Brigadier Beale, and Colonels Stedman, Mills, Smith, and two others, whose names are unknown. The following despatch relates to the riot in Boston : Boston, July 15.—A1l is quiet this morning. Four or five persons were killed last night and probably a-dozen wounded ; some seriously. . The most daring act of tho rioters was the attacking of the armory, in Cooper street, where a force of military was stationed. When tho mob had beaten down the doors, it was fired upon from a six pounder loaded with can ister. This effectually scattered the mob at that point. One rioter was completely riddled and fell dead at the door of the armory; The First dragoons nine o’clock patroling the streets, and together with an in fantry force overawed all further outbreak.— The Mayor has issued a proclamation. From Captain Merrick’s Company. _ Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Fa. ] My 15, 1563. J Mr. Cobb : I do not know that I have any news to write you, and yet to drown monotony most do something, so I will write. still at Camp Curtin, with but little prospect of leaving it soon. For the first ten day softer our arrival here rye arranged our quarters and drilled, since which time wo have been doing picket andguard duty. We have been marched across the river and back three times—say about four miles from camp—which is about all the marching we have been compelled to do. We are now organized into a battalion, oom ] posed of six companies, two from Philadelphia, one from Schuylkill, one from Lancaster, out Own, and the birth place of the other I have not learned. We are known as tho Ist Provost ■Battalllon. Lieut.’Coi. J.- F. Ramsey, of Dans ,-villa is our commander. We are doing provost ’duty about camp and in the city. I fear we shall not be able to -get a full regiment of six months’ men. Very few have home in since the Governor’s call for three-months volunteers. We are quartered in the old barracks, which afford good shelter from rain, of which, by the way, we have had a good deal for tbe -past two weeks. We get plenty to eat, of good whole some food. Of course, we don’t get butter, fruit, or even custard pie, from tho Govern ment, but’the heat that they can keep we get. Our Camp ground has boon thoroughly cleansed and sprinkled with lime, and is quite faealthy. Thh U. S. Christian commission have erected a largo tent upon the camp ground, capable of holding over a thousand men, in which is held Divine service every afternoon and evening. -Every soldier is 'supplied at this tent with a testament, together with what other religious matter he wishes, gratis. They have also erected in one end of the tent..tables to accom modate fifty men at once, with seats, pons, ink, paper and envelopes, ail free, so that none may have an excuse for not writing to their friends. They have a post office, and take to, and bring frooi tho city office, all soldiers’ letters who re quest-it. Altogether the Commission is doing a good deal for tbs comfort and good of the soldiers. . , The farmers about here have done but little as yet in thdr hay or grain fields. Whether they are yet"'frightened about the rebels, or whether from want of help 1 cannot say ; but many splendid fields of wheat are going back into the ground very fast. All crops seem to be very thrifty in this section. Green peas and potatoes have been in market for ten days. The old farmers about hers feci very sore about the war. Aii seem new to be agreed upon one poinVand that is that'a third invasion of this .State by'the rebels might to 1 be prevented; and for that purpose the militia front the southern counties are coming in pretty brisk, and as fast as organized, ore forwarded to Chambctsburg, which place is now Gen, Conch’s Hehd-quar ters. Two bundles of Agitators have been re ceived, for which -.please! accept the' united thanks of our company. I i Very truly younj, FROM THE THREE MONTHS, MEN. From Captain Cole’* Company. In Camp one mile North of 1 ' castle, Pa. Jubj 15th, 1863. / Friend Cobb f; I havo nothing to write upon but the head of a drum, so you must excuse bad writing. We left Harrisburg on July. 13th, and rode topShippenshurg on the oars; here we were astonished to find that the Rebels had destroyed the railroad in order.to make ns poor devils chase after them on foot. We trudged along about three miles,' when oar Captain thoughtit was abont time for ns to halt for the night; so we pitched out tents in a a nice grove, and in a short time we were vis ited by one of those rich farmer’s that we all have heard so much about; he came to tell us to bo as sparing of his rails as we could, and not use any more than we were obliged to. • In a short time I found myself on the road towards bis bouse in search of some milk. I took along two canteens, one for “Old Sim,” and the other for myself. I found him to be a very clever old chap, ready and willing to give np what we wanted. The Rebels in their visit paid him their respects in the shape of stealing fiTe‘hotses.,from him ; he sent five to Harris burg. He said the Rebels behaved like gentle men. r I found him to be what some up nojrth in Ti oga County call themselves—Democrats I also should think from his conversation that he was tinctured with Copperheadism. The next morning we were up early and on the march for Chambersburg. When we start ed we were-told we had eleven miles to match that day. After we had marched abqnt a cou ple of miles it began to rain (as the- paying is) pitchforks. It seomed to us to be the longest eleven miles wo ever traveled. I think the miles will average about twelve furlongs dbwn here, while we are carrying our sixty pounds. One man would tell us it was six miles to Cbam bersburg; and after wo bad traveled two miles farther we came across another who informed us that'it was seven' miles. No two could agree on the distance. After traveling about two miles farther we were informed, by two men. that it was five miles farther; this seemed to give the boys courage. Soon we met a far mer’s fair daughter and she informed us it was only five miles; we gave her a cheer, for we knew we could rely on her word, ap girls are never known to tell lies. We arrived at camp about one p. m., and soon began to pitch oar tents in the-mad -and rain. In the morning we were ordered to get ready to march. After marching nearly all the day before, this seemed hard for|a groatTmany of the boys, as well as my-, self; but we. knew we had to obey orders, and were soon on the march for Greeneastle, eleven miles distant from Chambersburg. We took a roundabout way, and arrived hero after trav eling about fifteen miles. We were ordered to pack up this morning and get ready to move. After we had got our things packed up the or der was countermanded, and we were ordered to pitch our teats b(ut leave everything else so we could bo ready', to march in a moment if necessary. In all probability we shall hot stay in this camp a great while. I think we will move down toward the State line. SPECIAL NOTICES.
