THE AGITATOR.
M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
WBttSBOROPGH, PENN’A:
WEDNESDAY, JUDY 29,. 1863.
'Sevebai. of the most reliable citizens allege
of the late riots in New York, that there was
no sorer passport to, the favor of the mob than
to cheer for Jeff'Davis. They -testify as eye,
and ear-witneSaea. The rallyiag-cry of the
mob, according to testimony, seems to have
been “ Jeff Davis,” and “ Little Mac," equal
parts.
t Jeff Davis has issued a proclamation call
ing every man between 18 and 45 into the Seid.
What a fearful violation of the constitutional
rights of the citizen 1 • Weep and bowl, 0 ye
Copperheads 1 The rights of “ our deluded
Southern brethren” are being set aside 1 Why
not send some of our constitutional lawyers
to expostulate with Jeff 1 Theycould convince
Jefferson D. that the letter of the Constitution
must be adhered to even it the spirit should
perish in consequence. They could convince
him that all times and emergencies make like
on the governing power. Re seems
to bo as oblivious to these grave truths as a
wcek-oid.baby. '
.A woodchuck dug her hole in a clover field,
and-set about rearing a family. One day,-the
little woodchucks being about half-grown, the
old dame ventured out to spend the day with a
gossipping neighbor, charging her young brood
to keep the door Shut against interlopers, and
especially to beware of a lacy, good-for-nothing,
who, too shiftless ;to dig a hole for himself,
went about, like a speak, trying to quarter him
self upon respectable woodchucks. The cobs
eagerly promised to do all the dame enjoined.
So the old woodchuck departed; and the
young-pnos enjoyed their liberty hugely, until
late in the day, when, tired of frolic, they re
tired into their hole. They had'been there hut
a few minntes, however, when they received a
call from a gentleman in a suit of black and
white. “ Good day, brothers!’’ said ho.
“ Who are you 7” plucked up the boldest of
the-little woodchucks; “and what are you do
ing,here
“ Me! Oh,.l'm a woodohueje," said the in
truder; “ I’m a good friend of the Woodchuck
nation, and I’m come to live with yon.”
The young-ones were suspicious of tho char
acter of their visitor, but being unused to the
deceits of world they made no attempt to
drive him out. By-aml-by the old woodchuck
came homo.
“ Who are you ?” said she, bristling up to
the intruder.
“Me 1 Ob, I’m a woodchuck !’’ he replied.
“ Toil!—a woodchuck !” ejaculated the irate
idame; “ who ever saw a woodchuck with such
.a fancy suit on, and with such a villainous
face ! Tou’re no woodchuck!”
“'l’m as good a woodchuck as any of you,”
blustered the intruder; “ and I go in for the
traditions of Woodchncfcdom as they are, and
the customs of said realm as they used to be.”
“ Ah, I understand you,” quoth the dame,
scornfully ; “ you’ve no woodchuck, and I’ll
prove it.” Upon’this she dealt, him a blow on
the head, A horrible stench arose and filled
the hole. “I knew you were no woodchuck,?’
said the datne; “ get out of here 1”
When we see a man with a traitor’s face,
mouthing “ ifs," and “ bats,” when speaking
of the incidents and emergencies of this strug
glo for national existence; finding fault with
every measure, and every act of the Govern
’ ment for the suppression of disorder ; babbling
about “ the Constitution as it is, and the Un-
ion as it was” ; prating about the illegality of
the draft, arid its especial hardships for the
poor man; snuffling about the arrest of such
villains as Vallandigham, and’mourning over
“the decay of popular liberty” ; or belittling
the victories for our arms; and-winding up
the harangue with the inevitable—“l’m a Un
ion man,—s-as good a Union man hs any other
man,” —when we observe the action, language,
and bearing of such a man, we are forcibly re
minded of the Skunk in the fable foregoing,
and cannot but think that the slightest attempt
to strip the hypocrite will establish his claim to
rank with the most outspoken traitors.
And here we nre reminded of another fable
illustrative of the subject in band -. Once upon
a time there lived a man blind from his birth.
the uncrippled senses of this man’ were very
acute, but none so acute as the sense of touch.
It was customary for people to come great.dis
tances to see this man, bringing rare objects
with which to test his wonderful skill. One
day they brought him a wolf's cub, telling him
ft was a little dog. The blind the
cub in his hands, and after examining it atten
tively with hie fingers, shook his head gravely,
saying; “It may be as you say, a little dog ;
but I wouldn't trust him with my sheep when
hershall be grown up.”
So, when we hear a man denouncing the
Government a i it is now organized, and glori
fying the “ Democracy” as at present organiz
ed and led, yet vociferating that he is a Union
man, we at once remember the last-related fa
ble, and conclude that, if he be loyal, will
hear a great deal of batching.
_ In conclusion, when we meet men who feel
constrained to publish their loyalty at the cor
ner of every street, we conclude that they Lave
very little confidence in their own loyalty, and
that their lack of confidence is justified by the
fact!’ 1
We hear roach about “Democracy”—what
it "has dome for the country, what it will' do,
what a glorious parly it is, and how it mast be
remitted to its ancient privilege of power and
plunder before-the day of national prosperity
FAMILIAR FABLES.
f THE TIOGA CODNTY 401 TAXOR.
San break from the bonds of this -night of trou
ble. Let ns see:
That party had almost' absolute control of
the Government for the half century ending
with the term of James Buchanan. Twice du
ring that period it involved the country in a
foreign war; and it* last Executive conducted
the nation into the embrace of the bloody strife
in which it is new engaged. 1 Half-a-dozen
States revolted, took armed possession of the
mints, snh-treasnries, forte, and other public
property, while a Democratic President- occu
pied the Executive chair and wielded the im
mense patronage of the Government. And in
his Message to Congress, this worthy agent and
apostle of the Democratic party, weakly denied
the right of Secession, and in the same breath
denied the right of the Government, under'tha
Constitution, to take measures to compel order.
So, under the auspices of the “ great, conserv
ative, and glorious Democratic party,” the se
cessionist* plundered arsenals, planted batter
ies against national forts, obstructed harbors,
fired npon national ships, and levied an aipiy
to resist tbe-Government. And when Abraham
Lincoln took the oath of, office, the country .was
as fully in a state of war as it is this day.,
' But great, and glorious; and efficient .is tho
Democratic |party 1 and let tho swell-mob, and
the parrots cry amen ! Yo who complain of
taxes; who are trembling before tho august
majesty of conscription ; who desire to prolong
this war until another- Presidential election—
caring nothing for the country, nothing for the
desolation of northern homes, but making the
success of the copperhead democracy para
mount—glorify the name, * 1 Democracy,” sym
pathise with brutal mobs, creep lower in the
seale of moral being than nature has placed
you, if that be ppssiblo, and proceed with the
devil's work of moulding the weak, debauching
youth, and encouraging vice: For only thro’
such channels can the thin ranks of the mod
ern Democratic party be recruited.
WAR NEWS.
Since our last issue the Union armies have
bad several splendid triumphs in the West and
Southwest. Our army correspondence this
week is so profuse, that we are able to no more
than givo facta and results.
Gen. Grant’s army has not been idle. lie
took Yazoo City on the 12th inat., capturing
several hundred men, one steamboat and five
pieces of artillery, and quantity of mil
itary stores. The rebels destroyed two of their
steamboats, and sunk one of ours.
Gen. Ransom was sent to Natchez with 1200
men on the 6tb. lie captured 18 rifled cannon,
five rebel officers, 247 boxes 1 of ammunition,
5000 bead of cattle, and 1000 hogsheads of su
gar.
With tha capture of Jackson, Miss., we se
cured all the rolling stock of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern, the Mississippi
Central and Tennessee railroads, with 40 loco
motives. The Richmond papers ‘declare that
the loss is wholly'irreparable.
The guerilla Gen. Morgan, who with 5000
men was ravaging southern Indiana and Ohio
when we went to press last week, has been ta
ken by Gen. Shackelford, with so much of his
force as were not killed, together with ail his
artillery and trains. This ends Morgan.
Our cavalry has cut the Virginia & Tennes
see railroad at Wythcville, taking 2 cannon and
TOO muskets, and killing and capturing 200 of
the rebels. . Our cavalry has destroyed some
miles of Wilmington aipl AVeldon railroad in
North Carolina, interrupting communication
with the South for somo weeks.
The news from Charleston is not favorable
to a speedy reduction of that city. Our troops
have assaulted Fort Wagner twice, but
were repulsed with severe loss. The first as
sault was by a brigade, and the second by a
division. We lost about 200 killed, 1000 woun
ded, and 300 prisoners.
It is said that Beauregard has been rein
forced from Richmond. We hold three-fourths
df Morris Island, and the fall of Charleston is
hut a question of time.
AVo hav* no reliable information from Gen.
Mead’s army. Loo is said to be at Culpepper
Court House.

LETTER FROM REV.
A
Chaplain 149th Regtt Pa. Vols.
Mr. Cobb ; I have watched the public prints
in vain to find something published approach
ing the truth regarding the position and suffer
ing of the 3d Division, 2d Brigade, and especi
ally the 149th Begt., that brigade in which
Tioga, Clearfield, Putter apd Luzerne,counties
have so large an interest. It is now,a week
after the battle. I have worked as faithfully
as all the means'- in the Begt. would allow, to
gather the'facts in detail. The further Igo in
the investigation the more am I convinced that
the records of this awful war, sanguinary as
they; are, do dot show a parallel'to the fearful
havoc and determined bravery of our troops
under Gen. .Reynolds, and- Gen. Dsulileday; on
the first day "of tho Gettysburg fight. I have
waited to see if tho facts woffld not reach-the
public at some more impartial hand than my
own, but in vain. That Wednesday’s fight was
a prize fight on the part of the enemy; a Sur
prise fight on" our part. 'lt revealed the po
sition of the foe, and enable'! Gen. Meade lo
assume that masterly defensive which ensured
us the victory, in fact the Ist Corps by gen
eral consent-held the key, to the success of our
army, and it fell upon tha*boys of the Bucktail
Brigade to lay their hands on that key. They
turned, flinching not till they had fully un
locked the door which revealed to ue the en-
their brave companions were fall
ing around them like grass before the sythe.
None of them had ever been in front and un
der full fire before. They were -worn down
from marching on the uncertain track of the
enemy for three' weeks. Many 'of them went
sore footed, and all w>f them weary, into the
figbt. But they were on their own soil. Penn
sylvania sounded good to them. Its cool air
and springs, its fresh butter and milk, above
all, Its memories of home, dear home, inspired
them; cool as veterans of old campaigns, they
fought and fell. Wo would not disparage any
other regiment, or section of the army. We
can not glorify the 149th-P. V’g. - They have
covered themselves with laurels which are only
to be eeen to -be recognized and cherished
by the country in all future.time. By their
side stood the 143 d Pa. Vol’s, commanded by
the gentlemanly Colonel. Dana of Wilksbarre,
and the 150th Pa. Vol'Cp‘Commanded by Col.
Wister, once a Captain in the old Buoktails,
equally they stood to their post, till there was
no longer any object, or possibility of holding
it, and then all fell back through the streets of
the city, swept by the bullets of the enemy.
Dr. Humphrey, our efficient Surgeon-in-ohief of
the division, had established bis hospital in the
Catholic church, and soon with all his wounded
and dying men, fell into the hands of the
enemy. But unmindful of the change of
guards at the door; and caring not whether
they wore grey or blue coats, ho went on with'
his bloody hot humane task. They took bis
horse, and those of bis assistant physicians.
Bnt what ate horses at such a time. The
changed, countenances of the Rebel officers in
those hospitals, during the three days, asthey
climbed the belfrey and came down again,lnow
brightening- -hp, and then elongating inch by
inch, till the barbers had to charge a quadru
ple price for staving them, was a very in
structing scene. When the battle was still
raging, so eager were the wounded in the hos
pital to be doing something, those that ceald
hobble out on their crutches went from house to
house, and to every possible place that could
bide a rebel, and marched out the gray backs
to tho guard. Nothing oonld be more ludic
rous than to see one of those limping soldiers
marching along the streets, commanding an
armed'rebel to .walk before him, and,he with
nothing but his crutch to help himself with.
While our friend, Dr. Humphrey, was -thus
passing through the streets* a dutchman told
him; there was a rebel stealing bis horse. The
Doctor found him, a fat 180 pound gray back,
and took him in charge, marching him to the
guard, not thinking till he had’delivered him
up that his antagonist was armed to the teeth,
while he had no weapon.
Many instances of personal courage have come
to my knowledge, but it is difficult to mention
those details without disparaging others of
equal merit, and without being tedious to those
friends for whom this article is prepared that 3 ,
we forbear. The accompanying list is as per
fect as it can be made . from all statistics in.
possession pfjfche. regiment one week after the.
battle.! Some of the wounded will yet be heard|
from as dead, and some of the missing-wills
doubtless be reported as wounded, dead; a pris-;
oner, or Retailed for hospital service. We have!-
tried to aVoid giving anydark coloring to the
casualties still it is possible that some we have
reported as seriously may have been only slight
ly wounded. ■ J. F. C.

FROM THE THREE MONTHS MEN
Camp near G reexcastle, Pa. 1
July 20, 1863. J
Friend Agitator : It is not a very hard
task to write the history of our Regiment, since
I wrote you from Harrisburg. AVo left there
some timo during the night of the 13th, and
arrived at the next morning. At
that time Lee was said to be at Hagerstewn,
with his right at AVilliatnsport and left at
AVaynesborough, and things looked as if the
Militia might have some hand in another fight.
.Gen. Couch removed his headquarters to Cham
bersburg, and the 36th Regiment was ordered
with twenty-one other regiments to this point,
only to hear the hows that Lee hod got across
the river again, This news was anything but
oheeriug to the boys, for we had hoped the time
bad come for Meade, with the help of the mili
tia and high water, to beat and capture the
whole of Leo’s army.
The Railroad from Shippensburg to Hagers
town was nearly entirely destroyed so that we
had to 'march from the first named place to
this pojnt. The weather was sultry, but very
few wete reported .-on the sick list next morn
ing. Our camp is; located about a mile north
of Creencastle. Springs are abundant, but the
water comes from limestone formations and is
not healthful to the boys from the Northern
mountains. Those who are careful not to
drink too uuioh of it, are very well; those Who
cram themselves with all sorts of stuff until
they become feverish, and then drink this lime
water to quench .thirst, very generally suffer.
Yesterday Gov. Curtin visited the several
Regiments, and cheered them with short and
patriotic speeches. I notice that nine-tenths
of the men here are in favor of Curtin’s re
election. Ha says wc shall all bo sent home
just as soon as our services can bo spared.
Our boys are quite .anxious to be detailed to
enforce the draft in Schylkiil, Luzerne, Clear-
Held and other Copperhead Counties. No
work would be more acceptable to them just
now.
As the Agitator has recorded the names of
all the Companies frum Tioga County, (except,
perhaps, Capf. Merrick's) [ have taken pains to
get from the orderly sergeant of each company,
a copy of each muster roll. These I enclose to
you.
