for myself and party, then went Snte the, house
and had a lively chat with, my “ hostess” and
her daughter, a very pretty young lady of some
17 or 18 years. They were very sociable; but
bitter seoesb. Dinner was announced; and I
enjoyed the repast better, evenrthan tbe visit
with my lady friends. Oat dinner ..consisted
of chickens, warm biscuit, sorghum, boa cake,
coffee and port wine. , Paid the cook for her
tro üble, and offered the lady rqpuoy, which
she declined. Ordered our bbrys, mounted,
touched our hats, and were gone. Made about
14 miles and encamped. It was o (Id and blus
tering, and overcoats and gloves*'rote brought
intense. Daylight found us on-the road. At
10 o’clock, A. M. crossed Little Aiver, struck
out into the country and got dinner at a plan
ters, then started for Milledgville, which place
we reached about IP. jl. We strolled around,
viewing the town fill night, then..orossed the
Oconee Biver, and encamped on the other side..
Milledgville is a small village V-probably about
tbe size of Wellsboro—very common place, ex
cept the public buildings, among which the Ex
ecutive Mansion, Capitol, Lunatic Assylnm 4c
are very fine. The soljfiers. had now began to
forage in earnest. Onl every ha*d could be
heard tbe “squawking” of poultry and squeal
ing of pigs, as the “Yankee Vandals” made
their descent on the plantations. Sweet pota
toe holes were opened, and the buried treasures
exhumed. Women wore' crying-—taking on—
(os the soldiers poetically called!, it), •“ like'a
dish-rag;’’ but the boys had orders to take
whatever they found to eat, and Hhey carried
them out to the letter. i '
Nov. 23, we remained at r<Vt. The t next
day at 9A. M. found us onoe'-.ciore oi the
road. This day I got at a plantation d good
dinner and'a horse, and refund {'Ho theroad,
made a raid on a sheep foid,.ori(-.(;ot a couple
of sheep. •" -
Nov. 25, started at 8 A. M;-went 5 miles
to Buffalo Creek, and waited till sundown for
Pontoons and Engineers to fix the road, then
went fonr miles further and eneampetj.
Nov. 26, was very warm. We matched’ to
Sandemille.; the Capital .of the County we
were in. Oqt cavalry had quite a fight here
with a portion of Wheeler's command, and were
fired on from the buildings on tfie road, so tbe
order was given to sack and burn - the town.'
I reached the place as the pillaging was going
on. In one house was a,splendid piano; and
at the earnest request of a “ qumerous audi
ence” I sot down and gave them a few of .my
choicest pieces, and left. Returning a few
minutes later, I -found tbe beautiful instru
ment destroyed. L went into a schoolroom,
and found a number of .com} ositions laying
around on the floor, ope of I have in
my trunk, and will enclose ’(o you. Poor,
short-sighted damsel! she litkle thought while
writing about the bright and beautiful, “ sutl
ny South” that so soon the rude hands of one
of the "Yankee Horde” would hold the bril
liant effusion of her young*mind; end she
might well exclaim with the poet: , .
I never bad a piece of bread, all ipread io nice
and wide. . . - ,
Eat Ibat it fell upon the Boor, end on tbe buttered
■itif. .
IVe spent the night here, and'the next mor
ning left the town in flames.
Nov. 2T was warm and pleasant. "We made
about ten miles tjhis day, and tlie next, twelve.
We were now in! the midst of Georgia swamps.
The cduntry is as level as o! Phrn floor, swamps
on evtery side, with now at I-then a cleared
field sandwiched between a i'paple of swampe.
Every two or three aniles wo Vould come to a
planter’s house, with its ap' hndago of negro
cabins, whose oecupants won d. leave and come
along with us. ‘And amnfley crowd they
were—setting Ealataff’s famous band entirely
juto-tha shade; and if we committed any act,
we might truly say .we had >3 "great cloud of
witnesses.

Nov. 30, no move. 1 was Jrery busy all day

Dec. 1, very-warm. Went-into the coum

Dec. 2, still warm, I went out oif the • ‘ flanks”
and found three carriages and a’ fine coach in
the woods where they had been placed to keep
them from us. • ; 5
Dec. 3d, Still steadily mtobhing on through
an unknown country.

column was about one mile' iff. 1 dismounted
and stood on the steps, .wbefi I chanced to look

scouts taking deliberate ,aHo‘a| me with his
carbine. I had on a citizenia coal: hence the
mistake. Like the boy whh “ tore liis breech
es” I had “ nothing to say though considera

rode opt in sight dressed in army blue; when
the scout halted him, and being informed that

- started at daylight,‘and we,*jt within five miles

to recapitulate, we have nv : de over 320 miles

In Savannah, Dec. 25f You have doubtless
learned of out entrance, into the. city before
this. We followed, dozily upon the heels of
the Rebels, and are now in full and peaceable
possession.
Savannah is a place of about 30,000 inhab
itants, I should judge, and contains many
fine buildings. The inhabitants are mostly in
town,_and it would appear but little unlike
other cities, were the usual places of business
open. But my letter is already much too long
to attempt a* farther description now. Admi

WBLtSBORODOB, PENN’Ai
WEDNESDAY,
" WANTED—A BOT." •
- Th? fact that we have not seen half a doaen
“ boys" in as many years, induces us to jot
down some tboughte under the above caption.
We beg leave to inform the public that we do
not want" another apprentice just now, so the
“ wanted”—must,be considered as serving “to
point a moral,” and not as an advertisement.
We snspect that the species “ Boy," has
gone after that “ lost tribe” of Featherdom—
“ the Do, Do.” Certainly wo have not seen
one of the species oftener than onoe a quarter,
for ten years. True—there are a plenty of
nominal boys everywhere; that ie to say, there
is no lack of bipeds in short ooats and caps,
with smooth faces, “ innocent of stubble.”— j
But these are not the boys of a not very dis- j
tant day. They appear as suob to the eye, but
when one sees them on the street, or heors j
them speak, tbe illusion vanishes. 1
The boy that we knew ten years ago hss de-1
parted and left little trace behind. We re
member that be occasionally came into our of
fice, almost always on errand for bis father, or I
some grown-up person, and seldom, if ever, to |
sit in our arm chair, scribble on our exchanges, i
talk to the printers, or meddle with the type. '
He came in, told his errand ; if a cold morning,
warmed his toes, and went hie way. Wo do
not recbilect that be whistled Yankee Doodle,
or drummed ou the table. He may have done
so, but it has not been remembered.
The boy we knew ten years ago never ap
pears to us now in tbe street. We miss him
wonderfully. He used to bow and say “ Good
morning,” and never said “ bully for you,'" as
men passed along tbe streets. We do not rec
ollect of seeing tbe boy of ten years ago with
a pipe, or a cigar iiThis mouth; and alaei that
we ehonld have to say it I—we never saw the
boy of ten years ago drone. We never saw
him reeling on tbe side-walk and disgusting
tbe passers-by with his maudlin and awkward
profanity. We do not remember to have seen
him sitting in the etores and groceries by the
hoar, chewing tobacco, guzzling beer, and ma
king himself, in some of tbe lower respects,
the equal of grown-folks who do ftiese things.
’ The boy of ten years ago did not require as
much room, either: at home or in a crowd, as
does the boy of toiday. The latter is the fond
est talker in a crowd of men, while at home'
he too often requires as much attention and
grooming as a valuable horse. He claims all
the favors, shirks all the “ hardships,” as he
calls them, and might be mistaken for the head
of tbe family, only that be condescends to fot
that imaginary 'individual pay the grocery,
store, and shoemaker bills—as a matter of
special favor, we suppose. Altogether, the.
boy of to-day is a mondescript. He puts oh
tbe bad habits of grown folks when he gradu
ates at tbe nursery, and in dimensions and ex
cept in ell things essential to true manhood,
only, is to all intents and purposes a man.
Tbe boy of ten years ago had some ambi
tions above and beyond retailing sugar and {
calico on a starvation salary—so small that the
temptation to “ orib” from the change drawer !
is often too strong for nnaeclimated virtue.— \
He did not consider it a disgrace to be a good
blacksmith, shoemaker, carpenter, Ac., Ac. He
would have considered it a disgrace to have
been a blunderhead aHenytbing. When be
undertook a job he tried to do it well—acting
on the safe and correct rule—•• Whatever is j
worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” We j
are not prepared to say that the boy of ancient;
times did not sometimes reckon bis duty per-;
formed to his employer when he had put in ■
the day somehow, and got his pay ; but it was ;
not a rule with the boy of ancient times that j
" the employer is to be cheated out of as ma-'
ny hours a day as possible without kicking up ]
a muss.”
Not so with the boy of modern times. He
hss no comprehension of the mutual depend
ence and benefit of the employer and the em
ployed. He regards his employer as a very
handy person to apply to for favors, but sel
dom regards his convenience, bis comfort, or
bis business, as of tbe slightest moment. Be
would miss him on pay-day, if absent. And
that is about all. Hie commands, bis requests,
his interests, are all forgotten or ignored,—
Happy the employer who can find a boy who
is not altogether wiser than himself in all
things pertaining to business 1 It would be a
rich treat to find a boy who had not learned
everything before reaching the middle of hie
teens I—a boy who was not bora supremely
wise above age and experience.
But wo long for theie things with little hope.
Wa do not say there are no exceptions; but it
is a notorious fact that the majority of boys
now, take little interest in the business of
their employers. Sleep late hours, associate
with young men of no settled characters.

Tbs LraisiATPHE.— By a vexatious over
sight we failed'toichronicle the organisation of
the State Legislature on the 2d inst. It is not
too late, howevr, Jto say that Hon. A. 6. Olms
ted of Potter County* was elected Speaker of
the House, nod-Senator Tarrell, of Susqueban
nab county, Speaker of the Senate.
Mr. Olmsted's promotion wa* a deserved com
pliment to him, as well as to the “ Northern
tier.” A more capable, upright, and honora
ble man could not have been selected. We
congratulate him.
Mr. Turrell's election was likewise highly
complimentary to Northern Pennsylvania. He
is a most excellent public man, and will acquit
himself with credit.' . .
JAN. 18. 1865,
A squad of cavalry arrived at Honesdale
last evening. They. came among us, at the
bidding of the poltroons at Boston, to sieze
our relations and drag them to Abraham's
slaughter pen. And this is America and those
officers are Americans 1 Away with them vje

Very well; if you are an “ Englishman,"
(as we happen to know is the literal faot) go
back to England. Such immigrants as you
are would damn any country.

New York., Jan. 13. — The steamer Arago
has arrived, with dates from Port Royal to the

It is said that severl counties of Georgia have
recently held elections and declared in favor of
a return to the Union by overwhelming major
ities. It is also reported that the people are
arming to protoot themselves from the Seces
sionists.
Governor Brown is said to be principal
prompter of these movements, and it is stated
that he has disbanded the Georgia militia,
who have gone to their homes.
These rumors are all published in the Savan

The garrison at Beverly, West Virginia,
were attacked on the 11th inst., by a force under

DIED.
At the 10th Army Corps Hospital, near Jones'
Landing-, Virginia, on the 14th nit., of typhoid fever,
ALFRED TOLES, of Co. F, 11th Pa, Cavalry, aged
19 years, 3 mootbs and 3 days. His remains were
broughtltome and interred in the Wellsboro Cemetery
January 8, 1865.
Mr. Toles was a native of. Chatham township, in
this county. l He enlisted in September last, as have
hundreds of thousands, from a pure sence of duty.
He only desired ro strengthen the hands of his
friends in the army. Ho was immediately sent to
the front, placed upon picket duty, and before he hod
been one month in the service, bis Regiment charged
up to the very gates of Richmond and hadan toppor
tunity of seing the Capital of Rebeldom*. Upon this
occasion, be bad bis horse shot under him. But be
was not permitted to serve out his term of service.
During the latter days of November he was seized
with that terrible disease tbe typhoid fever, and died
after a short, but severe illness.
The death of a good man is always a public ca
lamity. Tbe death of a patriot is always a public
loss. In this great contest for the vindication of our
country’s honor, many of the biavest and truest have
fallen, and to-day, if never before, the soil of Vir
ginia is sacred, by reason of the many heroes that
there have slept, and are sleeping, in soldier’s graves.
In the decease of this young man, bis parents have
lost a kind and dutiful son, bis brothers and sisters
an affectionate and obliging brother, and society one
wbo who was ardently devoted to’ his*country } who
thought bis life not too great a sacrifice to offer upon
its altar. Fall of Chat enthusiasm which naturally
prompt the young to do right, be left home, friends,
and all tbe comforts of life for the sole purpose of
hrlplng save our institutions from the Vandal hands
of armed rebels.
What is true of the subject of this sketch is true
of tens of thousands. In all wars, victories and de
feats have alternated. Wars have always brought
with them miseries, woes, and sacrifice*. But none
other has ever beheld such a generous hurst of patri
otism —such devotedness upon tbe heart of tbe peo
pie, and such a “rallying round the flag” by tbe
young men of the nation.
Let one wander over the battle field of the Repub
lic*—lethim behold the many newly made graves—
let him go through the encampments of our volun
teer armies and there witness the patience with which
they perform their heavy service, and the courage
with which they face tbe dangers which ever sur
rounds them, and he will involuntarily exclaim “ God
bless the American Volunteer!” Whatever may be
tbe future of this people—whatever may be the
greatness and glory of the* American Republic, we
owe It all to tbe brave heroes who have bravely fought
and nobly died in Its defence! Let us then drop a
tear in memory of tbe brave souls, who have watered
Liberty's Tree, with their Life’s blood I Let us not
when surrounded by the oomforts of home, and the
luxuries of life forget tbe memories of the heroic
dead or those brave men, who to-day, are far from
friends and home standing in tbe rifle pits protecting
oar homes from invasion, and saving our country
from destruction.
