True. The Albauy Argus truly says that tho man who cannot hold his political abolitionism iu abeyance, in a time like the present when ho knows that it can on ly add to the bitterness of the strife, and when ho knows that emancipation doctrines cannot bo pushed further, without infring ing on Constitutional limits, is neither Christain nor a patriot.

I havo lived solitary and alone long enough. I havo been shutting myself up in tho very walls.'and furniture of dUcon- tcnttncnt and inisory. A thousand tears havo I shed in my lonely chamber, a thousand times havo I made the assertion "I'll get married" : at morning, at noon, and at evening for tho last ten years, 1 havo never failed to assert that "Til get a wife." Little do I know of tho sweet communion; of tho value of her inter cessions ; and of tho cxamplo as a chris tian. I want somebody to talk to to roason with kiss, and enjoy nuptial felic ity. Thorcforo I am open to proposals from young ladies aud lato widows of av erage respectability and tamo disposition. This is tho first time I havo mado tho proposal in a public journal this I Jtnow will bo called insensibility, or want of am. bition ; but I care not for it, I am now an aged and learned pilgrim. As nearly as I can judge I will now describo for tho satisfaction of applicants ; more my dis position, than my looks, at tho same time giving a brief history of a few years of ray life ; and also the kind of companion I desire. I am of middle size and finely formed my features pleasing but strongly marked had 1 a military hat and cloak and appear on a noble ytccd before ba tallions, my resemblance is such that they would present arms, and senates would rise to do homage. I will pass the various scenes of myboyhood days when I used to go incom pany to bo complimented for my.benuty, and Gnd n.yself at college. My noblo and commanding form, urbanity of manners, and diligence in study, soon won me the esteem of faculty and students. During the first year I hold a high rank in my class and jjavc promise of eminent useful ness. Dut you know that collego life severely tests a young man's principles. It id a state of exposure and trial during which no youth is safe without devoted piety ; a security which I am sorry indeed to say that I did not then nor do I now possess. I formed unfortunate connexions the effects of which were soon apparent. I was admonished of my danger, but seemed as if spell-bound by some faeina tion from which I could not escape. After repeated admonitions and fruit less efforts to reclaim mo, I was dishonor ably expelled from Collego a drunkard ! On this occasion I burst into tears and started for my home in thecouuty of C . I ho report of my expulsion from College and the cause of it, blasted tho high-raised expectations of all my friends, and soun ded in their ears like tho death knell of all my prospects and hope.

For the Columbia Democrat, Mr. Editor 1 Having somo personal for a moment tho mcanucss of dragging beforo tho publio, by any inueudo or in- ' tinuatiou, tho name of a person who 13 private citizen ; a slill lower depth is reached, when the ehargo, however cov crtly or openly made, is iu itself falao and malicious. Tho writer is awaro who is tho author of tho report; and for a man who believes as littlo in tho Riblo as Dr. John docs, to put any faith in a man who ttcals tho liv ery of Heaven to servo tho Devil in ; is cortainly a curious spectacle. Curious as it is however, it is porhaps just such a combination a9 wo ought to expect. Now the paragraph in tho African Re publican stating that a citizen of this placo Ronton, in Philadelphia, entered his nanio by tho "initials"' only, was written by tho Dr. and published by him without any personal knowledge of tho subject and whatever information ho had 011 tho subject must have been furnished by another. If it was not, then Dr. John published a false hood knowingly ; and if it was, then tho Informant of tho Dr. is an infamous liar and can be so proven. The Rcpub'tcan's assertion is untruo bo its information derived from whero it may; and tho mcudacity is only equalled by tho morbid meanness, which seeks, becauso of personal enmity, to abuso and slander a private citizen through tho public press. If such a thing must bo done however, Dr. John's newspaper is tho proper vehic le There tho lowest meanness finds its evel thcro quacks, and hypocrites, and abolititiouists mingle in sweet council. Neither character nor rcpu'ation is safe, where neither truth nor religion is respec ted. BACIvWOODS. Army Correspondence. Gami1 Greco, 8th Pa. Cavat.uy, May 18G2. JIr. Editor : I again wish to say a few words, as I have seen some fighting latclv. On the 14th inst., the Ri'gimcnt to which I belong, was in a fight for tho first time. Wc made a charge at the en emy through a iicld. Thcj' opened a voi le)' of musketry on us and a batter)' of two howitzers. The shot and shell poured in on us but did not stop our pro gress, until they were completely routed. This force consisted of two regiments of Infantry, four hundred of Cavalry and one hattory. Our force was live hun dred. One scrgent of Company F.,was was wounded in the arm, slightly. Wo did not ascertain the loss of the enemy, but it must have been considerable, for we gave it to them fast, agjwc have the Sharp's breech loading rifles. Wo can fire ten shots a minute. Shmtly lifter weroutcd the rebels, G'cn. McClellan's wagon train of one hundred and fifty were near being captured. If wc had not been there the whole train would have been lost. This happened about four miles from Hanover Court House, Kent co Ya. On the lotti. we advanced again, and overtook the enemy at Baltimore Store, wc then chased them to tho Cliicahoin niiy river, and there they opened seven batteries on us. We fell back and waited until reinforcements came up, then skir mishers wero thrown out, and wo skir mished the woods, and found tho enemy in force, and our riflo cannon was placed for action and as soon as the shell burst, tho .uemy returned the fire. Thoy shot for three hours when it got too hot for tho cncniy, and they look to their heels. As the 8th Pcnn'a. Cavalry was the only mounted Regiment there, wo wero order ed to pursue the cneni)', and soon we were on a full gallop when wc overtook thorn. Thoy turned on us but all of no use, so they retreated, and I could have eaten my breakfast on their coat-tails. There were somo of them that had lost their coat-tails it looked as if it had happened by running so fast, for they havo done their share iu Virginia. Wc aro now on the llottoin Rridgo Road, and our pickets arc within five miles of Richmond. On Saturday, tho 21th iust., wo had a hard light. Tho reb els mado a'stand near were wo aro now encamped. Tho fight lasted flvo hours. Our loss was two killed and 20 woundod, but wo routed tho eucmy with good success, wo found 00 rebels in ono pile iu tho woods, aud I saw a negro woman, who said "dcy took wagon loads of dar ded baok." I asked ,hcr if tho rebels run. sho said ''gess dcy did, mass, an' doy say dcy will lick do Yankeos too." Yesterday our compauy was out on picket duty, aud tho rebel pickets kept up their picket shooting. Thcro was , ono ' picket kept shooting at our mounted men , but could not shoot any of them, so ho u and two othew, thought tlicy would creep up closo, when ono of our men saw them coining, so ho dismounted nnd ran into somo bushes that wero closo by, and as theso threo men raised up to shoot tho men that wero still on post mounted, our man in tho bushes fired too soon for them and ho shot .the largest man through tho right breast, ho fell, and hollowed as loud as ho could. Tho other two run. Tho poor wounded man got up, and wo told him to como in, ho came, but in walking a distance of fifty yards ho fell threo or four times, Wo then sont for a stretcher and carried him into our headquarters. Ho was asked what ho was doing out in tho bushes, ou his hands and knees. He said his Colonel had sent him out to re connoitcr. I asked him what regiment ho belonged to. Ho said North Carolina. I then told him their troops woro all call ed in. He said ho did not know it. Ho then told mo ho enlisted to fight for his home and negroes. I asked his name and ho told mo it was John Murphy, Ho is the most impudent man I ever saw. We asked him several questions, and he would damn us, and say ''you Yankees cannot whip the South." Tho contents of his haversack was n small piece of hoecakc aud a pioco of bacon off the poorest kind. He also said they wcrcV evacuating Richmond. John's wounds arc such that I think he is dead ere this. He said ho weighed about 170 pounds. Thcro was an accident happened to Thos. Welsh, of Compauy I.

President Lincoln somewhat ostcnta- tiously addresses Congress a message, to tako the responsibility of one of Gamer- on's acts of administration. He is silent as to the others upon which tho IIouio of ; Representatives havo passed a virtual son- j tence of impeachment. Rut ho has, by appointing tbo condemned Secretary to one of tho highos missions abroad, virtual- ly assumed, also, his corruptions. The Presidont 'took tho responsibility,' also, of the arrest and imprisonment of Gen. Stone, and of tho denial of a trial, iu spite of tho evidence of his innooenco. He is doubtless, as Chief Executive, re sponsible for those acts; but wo bclicvo ho was ignorant of thorn till they wero done. Why. thou, doe3 he hasten to assmno a personal as well as official responsibility, in cases liko those? Ho may think that thero is a popularity to gain, such as Jacl:- son won, by boldly assuming tho consc - quence of the acts of his administrate. Rut Gen. Jackson 'took tho responsibility' ' as such conduct continues, liko Banquo's in defense of tho Constitution, and in put- ghost, it will not down at their own bid ting down and punishing gigantio corrup. ding, or that of tho editor of tho Cnlum tion.
