RETIMN OF THE : 158 Tit REGIMENT.—The
IsBth reghnent - of Pennsylvania drafted nien
returned here to be mustered out of service
on ••Thtirsday evening last, when the men
-were furloughed to go home until Monday.
On that day they returned and were mustered
Anit by, Lieut. C. M'Kibben, U. S. army, and
'vas eirietd they would be paid to-day:
As'soon as paid they will be discharged.
iThis , reginicnt is composed of most of
_the
drafted men of this county=all but one corn-.
pant',, we, believe, which joined the 165th
regiment,-rand all the dtafted men -from
Cumberland and Fulton. It is conceded on
all hands that in ptiint of discipline, efficient
"ay and' behavior generally, it was unsurpas
' sad by any regiment in the. service. The
men, as a elai,s, were of our own best citizens,
and they were most fortunate in their - cd' :
oars. r Clol. - David B. 3Tliibbin, of the reg
. ular army, was entrusted with the command,
'and while he 'enforced the most thorough
discipline, .he -commanded the respect - and
of of his men. Indeed it has rarely
been the fortune of an Officer to bring to such
a high degree of drill and, order generally,
raw troops, and at the same time preserve
•the ardent attachment of his command. We
would indeed that no worse officers than
3l'Bibbin wore the stars of Brigadiers.
Ile was ably seconded in all his efforts by
Lieut. Col. Troxel, of this county;.and Maj.
Hale, of Cumberland,—both efficient, un
tiring and brave officers.
The following is a list of the commissioned
,officers of the regiment.

Quanto mutatus—that's Latin for what a'.
monstrous difference—there , is between the
front of our office now, and some thirty years
agone. What has become of the old Book

worded note to supply our feet with "crocodile
skin•bbots," 'and who with profound gravity
'always rendered the bill "To one pair croco

for the :sturdy old poplars "whose slender
tops t were close against the sky." , What a
feat it was to climb one of them, and that
too in spite of "Old Allison." There were
then no types or typos to soil the house—a
grand and solemn parlor was where we now
sit, and from the Market St. window of this
house could be seen •a, queer stumpy little
building called the Court House, and imme

thereunto appertaining.

horseback ; - soldiers with shoulder straps, and
soldiers . without; soldiers that know how to

and soldiers with our young ladies. What

been picked up in. the neighborhood of the

I.lr. Jacob Heyser ban supply any body with
green corn for a cola& eration. Hot corn
puts us in mind of Jeemes Collins. His' voice
shall 'no more be heard throughout our streets,
giving us those blessed tidings in relation to
"boiled and hot troasting ears.". Ears ! that
reminds us of the. great
,number of mules
thronging our streets. Our streets are very
dirty, and no wonder, when our streets are
stables, and the pavements stalls. We are
under martial law; that is, a citizen has to
mind his-Ps and Qs or he'll get his Is into
trouble. It's a frightful thing to have so
many men on horseback/or the first time in
their lives ; and then if the horses happen to,
run off, some may "ride to the devil," and
that would be a.pity-,-for the devil. There
is an old proverb " needs must when the devil
drives." The devil - (printer's), drives me,
and I must hurry on.
Boils are quite prevalent. The thermom
eter says j "water boils," which means, we
take it, that at a certain heat we are likely
to get a particular kind of watery pimples, that
Dr. .Farenheit calls "water boils"—guess
that's the kind.. •
We advise our friends who find the weath
er too hot for working to read Fanny
Kemble's residence on a Georgia Plantation.
The - book was toritte4 2:5 years ago, but has
just been published. , It will make' a revolu

it without forever making war - upon African
Slavery, aye war to the knife.
A friend . complains that a day. or two ago
he found a drove of government 'horses in
his corn field and that upon his applying for
redress, he was informed that "the horses
'would not be allowed to go in again"—on the
same principal if a government horse kicks
out our valuable brains, he will not be al
, lowed toil° it again.
Our youngeet boy wishes to knob "when

and locust posts, and a farmer brings a charge,
'should he call it militia-ous mischief?"

is very cold and pleasant. Weiried a few
tons of it, and found it very good 'Wale it

We suffer much "entomological inconve

fact that-our-paVement is a horse and

would add to the variety, but not to th'e flies.
Don't it seem strange that a negro in the

Maps MEETING.- I .A. very large and en
thusiastic Meeting of the Union men was
held in the diamond on Monday evening last,
under the direction of the :Union League o
this place. Hon. Win. D. Kelly, of Phila
delphia, was the speaker of the occasion, and
he Nindicated the cause of the government in
a truly masterly and eloquent manner. He
is a bold, fluent and most impressive speaker,
and is second to none in his ability to grap
ple great questions and elueidate them tri
umphantly. He showed clearly to whom
must be charged the responsibility of this
bloody fraternal war, and also demonstrated
that the last lingering hOpe cif the now 'des
'ponding traitors Is in rebel sympathisers in
the North who decry negro enlistments, con
demn drafts and defy the laws •as far as their
cowardly instincts permit them. His able
speech was a most conclusive. vindication a
the war policy of the administration, and his
appeal to Pennsylvania to- maintain , her fi
delity to the cause of the Republic by the
re-:electron / of Gov: Curtin, was most earnest
and convincing. The Union men of the
“Green Spot" are grateful to Judge Kelly
for his address, and biChim God speed in
the good work. Resolutions were read by
Isaac H. McCauley Esq., endorsing the ad
ministration of, President Lincoln and the
re-nomination of Governor Curtin.

years after the first day Of July succeeding
the enrollment, to be called into themilitary
