The Quota of Pennsylvania.

that wo have not space to givo it entiro.--The
following i3 the closing part of it :
'Sir: You may not have been hereto

JIy Dear Parents :
I have just returned

cd some ten miles, at Hatcher's Run, when
wo were formed into Lino of Rattle, and
made a charge through tho thick wood
and low myamp, on a breast work and
took it, Thou we marched on until night
overtook us, when wo camped until, mid
night, when wo took up the lino of march
again. Wc went into another engage
ment that afternoon which lasled some
three hours, with terrific fury, and in whioh
wc were repulsed.

I cspect you have heard all about the
late battle, before this time. Well, I went
through the cpgagemont, square on duty,
aud did not reoeivo a scratch or mark.
Rut it was a fierce and bloody fiht, and it
is reported that our Regiment (210th) lost
heavier than any one else on duty.

particulars, as it is impossible to write

Dear Sir Ycu will oblige mo much
by permitting fcpaco in your valuable pa
per for the in-crtion of a few remark
inado to my friends and relations.
I preferred leaving my country to being
forced into tho army to fight for what 1
believe to bo unconstitutional. Those who'
firmly believed iu and supported the Hem
cralio doctrine previous to tho accession to
power of ...he present rulcri and who have
since enlisted into the army, aiding in
destroying rights that the Constitution
gives, aro acting inconsistent with what
thoy formerly believed and practiced. If
those who now have the enmmand ol pub
lie affairs aro right, all before them must
cortaiuly havo been wrong. Experience

How Jim Tastecl tho OyBter
Stctv'.
You rcmembor Mr. S , better
known ue Jim S , who kept 6 celo-
drated oyster saloon, a few years Binoe,
ucurly .oppotito the (other Ch&thamj Na
tioual Theatre. It was quito a while go,
duloro ''ShEniy" turned tho ''b'lioyu" up
aide down with his inimitable Moso' Jim
was a firht rate fellow, aud made the best
stew that could be found iu York ; in fact,
they wero iucomparablo nnd uot to be
bcut. Consequently, ho had a great rush,
especially between the pieces, and alter
the performance iu tho theatre.
Jim was one of the best imturcd fellows
in the world, aud tho only possiblo wy
of 'geiiing him off' was lo run down bis
commodities; tell bim his stews were bad
or bis rav?! spawny, when he knew they
were otherwice, nud ho would be "riled"
Si'inc; and no ono could blamo him for it,
But I must tell you hew bo got "takou
down."
'Waiter 1' cried out a oustomor ono
night, just after having bcon sorvod with
a smoking hot stew. "Waiter 1" and
then ho rapped vociferously on the table
with his spoon. ''Waiter!" and again ho
rapped, not mysteriously, like the Roches
ter rappers, but determinedly, as though
I he meant to be beard,
I "Plaso, air, what would ye bo plased to

vinco himself that tbcro could be no mis
take retcstcd it-
"The stow is a good one, Bir, a Grat
rate ono, and if you say it is not, why, you
are no judge of tho article," replied Jim,
waxing 6crnewkat wrnthy.
"Do you moan to Bay, nir," replied tho
grumbler, that there is nothiug peculiar in
its Uavor."
"Nothing peculiar at all, sir, and if you
think it docs uot tasto well, your mouth
must be out ol or.dcr, and you should lavo
taken a dose of medicine, rnthcr than an
oyster stew."
"My dear sir, don't get into a passion ;
I said uothiug about the tnito uf ycur
itow ; indeed I did not tasto it."
Not Ute it," said Jim.
' No; Isaw those Miiinalsin it," (turn
ing up Iwo giant cock-roiohes with tbo
spoon,) aud 1 thought 1 would gel o.ip to
taste it who wai a better judge of the ar
ticle tnau l.
Ob now it would have dono you good
to 6ce how toon that slew was "hustled''
off tbo tsblo, and tho way that Jim pour
ed some fresh oyitcrs into t clean bowl,
and (at the request of the stranger) soused
tho stevv pan previous to cooking tkiui,
was a caution to all oyster caters,
Before leaving tho promises, our rap
ping hero drank and smoked at Jim's ex
psnso, promising faithfully never to di
'vulgt &uj thing abou' testing the tl"w.
