It is a source of real pleasure to be fa vored with the opportunity of taking by the hand those to whom we feel indebted for favors conferred, and for whom we entertain sentiments of esteem. The 'Silver Grays'' cannot forget, nor would they if they could, the deep interest 3-011 manifested in behalf of t'.ie company, at a time when the helping hand was needed, and your unfaltering devotion to the cuu-c of volunteer organizations in (.'1111 luia roi'tity, froin the very inauguration of this monstrous rebellion. These were the co!jsiuC'i-:'ions which moved the hearts of the "Old men of the .Mountain j" on the occasion of your recent visit to our ouarters 111 Lamp Curtin, and which prom pted the fnendJy reception with which you were greeted on that occasion. 4A friend in r.ced is a friend indeed" is an adage which, though not very classi cal! v exoressod, is, nevertheless, a truism The relation which has existed, and which continues to exist, between you. Mr. Editor, and the 44Uruys, is eviuence 1 of ' the value of your personal aid, and j lat it is properly appreciated by every 1 tnat it is proper man in our ranks. Camp Curtin is being "cleaned out." On Ycdncstlay, the camp was electrified by the intelligence, that an immediate onward march had been ordered. Preparatory to the removal of the Reg iments from cam), it has devolved upon his Excellency, Governor CVirtin, to pre sent the Standards, voted by the last Leg islature, to each of the Regiments in the field. The presentation of tiie Flags to the 54th, (Col. Campbell's,) 50th, (Col. Meredith's,) 101st, (Cel. Wiisou's,) and the lOod, (Col. Lehman'?,) took place on the afternoon of Wednesday last, in front of the State Arsenal. The ceremonies were of the most interesting character. The four Regiments wcie d.-awn up, upon the Capitol Grounds, one in rear of the j Oilier 111 men numenv;." uiuui. xjiu v.iu- ernor, accompanied by the Adjutant Gen eral of the Commonwealth, appeared upon the stage erected for the occasion ; the former holding in his hands the Standards designed for the respective Regiments. Prior to the formal presentation, Gover nor Curtin delivered one of the most .1 . -.t 'ru a thrilling, patriotic, and eloquent addrcs ses, to which it has ever been my good ; fortune to listen.' There stood "before f lim three thousand mcu, who had volun- j arily left their homes, to undergo the lazards and privations of war, for the pur- tarilv haz pose of protecting the Government from subversion by traitors. lie congratulated them upon th procpect of a glorious and EBENSBTJRG PA., THURSDAY,' MARCH-13, 1862. final triumph of the Federal arms. In the name ot the People of Pennsylvania, ho thanked them for the alacrity with .which they had hastened to the rescue of their country from the destruction with which dark rebellion threatened it. lie saw before him men of every religious creed of every uation of every political party men who had left behind them all personal, religious and political animosi ities, that they might, by a united effort, keep floating aloft the Stars and Stripes which had, for more than f)ur score years, been our protection upon every sea, and our shield from insult in the most distant lauds. At such a time and upon such aa occasion, he could make no distinction, other than that designated by lo-alty or disloyal!' to the Government. lie em braced thctn as brothers, engaged in the one holy eau.c. lie reminded them that, in their absence, the orisons of those left behind them would ascend from the church and the fire-side, for their protec tion and safe return. The (.Jovcrnor was peculiarly happy in that portion of his address, in which ho assured the troops, then assembled before him, that their wives, their children and their mothers should be cared for in their absence that the obligation rested upon the Legislature, now in session, to make provision for the families of the soldiers who are absent, defending the Covcrti- raeut against the assaults of domestic foes that he, the Executive, would most cl i'cerfully execute the wishes of the law- aking power. lie recommended speedy maki action, in terms which indicated the deep interest ho takes in that which has for its obiect the welfare of the citizen sol- dier. The Governors eloquent worus reached the hearts of his auditory. Ex pressive silcnca marked the proceeding's. The men drank in every word that.cumc from the speaker's lips. Xew vigor seem ed to be imparted to the determination of the troop. Take it all in all, the Flag presentation of Wednesday last was one of the most cheering exhibitions I have ever witnessed. I must not neglect to allude, in proper tcrir.s, to the well conceived and eloquent ly spoken replies of the Colonels of the respective llcgimcuts. Their several speeches were evidently the ebullitions of hearts that beat in unison with the patri- otic emotions whieu tne (Jovcrnor s ad dress had enkindled in th hearts of all around. While the necessary brevity of a lotter precludes the possibility of fol lowing either the speaker or respondents throughout their entire addresses, I must refer more particularly to one than to the others. Your readers are well aware that the olt'a llegimcnr, commanded by Col. J . M. lamput'i!, has been designate.' as the Cambria County Regiment. Of course, more interest is taken by our peo ple in every thirg concerning that corps, than is Lc. towed upon strangers. Your correspondent was influenced by this par- tiahty, on tiicoecasion referred to. v hen dio Fhg was handed to Col. Campbell, , I icit a pride, wnue looking over 1110 una body ol men under-his command, and this feeling was not diminished, while looking fro;n the line to the Regimental and Com pany oHicers. The 54th, row on its way to join the Army of the Potomac, is as well blTleerod as any Regiment in the field. I feel safe in predicting for it, a I . 1 1 M 1 I ... . .1 career of glory and usc-iulncss. Col. Campbell's reply to the Governor's address v.-as a most beautiful and appro- priatc impromptu. It was heard only by a few nearest the stand, the Colonel's characteristic modestv inducing him to rather hide the merits of his effort, than to make hiuisell or it conspicuous, lie pledged himself, and those whom he rep resented, that that ''banner" should nev er be disgracedthat the members of tho 54th would do their duty to the cause in ! which they had enlisted that the houor of good old Pennsylvania should be safe in their hands. I much mistake my man, if Col. Campbells plighted faith be not redeemed. Tl.o fltinnr ronnrts. that tho. Armv nf ' hn Potrtmsnarc now en-aged, along tho whole line, in battle with the enemy Virginia, causes a great sensation quarter. Were it not for the bustle sed by (he marching out of the ments from this camp, our anxiety be painful in the extreme. The General Government having taken charge telegraph lines, we expect to be kept the dark for some days. However, we have an abiding confidence in the success ful result of the Federal arms that, when the cloud, which now hovers over the bat-H tie-field, shall have been dispelled, the view presented will be of the most grati- fying description Victory will .be seen perched upon the Ran ners of Freedom the loud shout of triumph will make the very welkin ring xur brethren in arms Will wave uacK. 10 uu ui assurance, iuii 'all is well."

The monotony of camp life affords but little of interest to .your readers, hence I have been silent "for some time : but as there has been a change in our location since my last communication, I shall en deavor to let you know where we are and what we arc doir-g. Gen. Cook's division (including, cf course, the Bully 78th) left Camp "Wood on Friday, 1-i.ih inst. We marched to ward Flizabcthtown, intending to strike the Ohio at West Point, and then proceed by steamboats. "Y e marched fifteen miles, and at sundown turned into a clearing by the road-side. On .account of the bad condition of the roads, our teams did not reach us and we were compelled lo biv ouac. There were two inches of suow on the ground, but by burning the brush heaps, fence rails, and every other com bustible within our reach, we managed to jia.-s without freezing, di:c of the coldest nights of the reason. On Saturday we ''lay to" until 2 o'clock p. m., waiting for further orders. A dispatch at that hour brought the unwelcome intelligence that our services were not needed by Gen. : Grant, and that the orders for marching in that direction had been countermanded. ! We immediately turned our faces toward j Green River, and proceeded until near ; night, and then halted two miles south ot j Bacon Creek. The night wt;s passed in the same manner as the lireeeedinrr one. At 9 a. m., on Sunday we again resumed our march, reaching .Muuforusville at noon. We passed the burial place of those who fell at the battle of llowlet Station. A neat white paling fence surrounds the spot. From every twig of the evergreen wreaths, little icicles hung pendent', spark ling like brilliants in the bright sunlight, and melting, dropped like tears upon the honored graves of the patriot heroes. We encamped near llowlet, two miles south of Green lliver. The camp was Called Camp Sirwell, in honor of our colonel. Oa 3Ionday, at 7 a m., we again struck 1 tents and continued our southward march. During the forenoon the rain poured down ' upon us almost incessint.'y. The roads ! were almost impassable in places, ara we j were obliged to turn into the woods and fields, thus rendering the march much ! more fatiguing. The rebels have left- their mark along the re? 1 over which we passed. They destroyed five miles of rail road by tearing, up the track, breaking the rai's, and binning the tics. They filled the deep cuts at each end cf the tunnel between this place and Cave. City, by roiling a great number of huge rocks oil' the hill. They tried to till the tunnel i by blasting, but after a few attempts Gen ! Jlinuuiau abanuoned the project, saying j kThe d d Vankce-s will wheel the span-! 13 ! out luster m a whecl-barrow ! 1 i .... .1". f than we can OlOW iJiCUl 111. The Union men have suffered severely. 12 charred ruins of. stores, dwellings, J 11 barns and grain stacks are frequently met with. The splendid and capacious hotel at Cave City, erected for the accommoda- ! tton of persons -visiliug the Mammoth j Cave, is also burned. 1 hoy drove horses and cattle into the springs and penus. and then shot them, in order to corrupt the water, and create disease among our troop's. This I conceive to bo the greatest of their atrocities. .It is said that the rebel au thoritics did not approve of these acts of Gen. Ilindman; but of tan we have 110 evidence. We are still on the line of the Louis ville and Nashville Rail Road, 0:1 which there are two thousand men constantly at work, and to-morrow will probably see it repaired as fai as Darren River. This camp is 05 miles from Louisville, 22 from Rowling Green, and 92 from Nashville. Most of the water used bv this brigade is obtained from the DllPJ.ing Cave.

NUMBER 25. A ouCicrn Traitress. A correspondent of the the JV. Y. Trib une, writing from Teunesscc, relates the following romantic adventure of a youDg llarrisburger in that State: A young man belonging to one of the Ter.T."jsee regiments he held the rank of first lieutenant in his company was very dangerously wounded in Saturday morning's strife, and was' net expected to live when I k-ft Dover, where he lay in, much pain and in more remorse. The young man told me he was a native of IlarrUburg, Pennsylvania, and had re sided . there until the autumn of 1859, when he went to Columbia, Tennessee, atfd there engaged in the practice of tho law with considerable succes?. While in that State, lie became acquainted with and enamored of a young woman of cul ture and fortune, a distant relative, I , understand of Gen. Pillow, and was sooa engaged to marry her. The love-stream cf the vocnir couple flowed smoothlv the blindness of his attachment and in the absorbing selfishness cf passion, he in formed his parents of his intention to win his mistress on the tented field. In vain they endeavored to dissuade him from his resolution. He went to Tennessee raised a company, received the congratulations of his traitorous friends, and the copious caresses of his charming tempter. Last December the Lieutenant proceed ed to Donelson, and,, a few days before the fight, heard his betrothed was the wife of another. His heart had never been in the cause, though it was in anothers keep ing ; and, stung by remorse, and crushed by the perfidy of his mistress, he had no desire to live. Unwilling to desert on the eve of battle the cause lie had cm- j oraceu, Jest lie might be charged with j cowardice, he resolved to lose the existence ! that had become unbearable to him : and in the thickest of the fight, while seeking ' death without endeavorug to inflict it ue reeeivcu a mortal wound, iselore this the misguided and betrayed lover had ceased to think of her who so cruelly de ceived him ; for the Lethean stream of Death is flowing around the Eternity bound island of his soul. The double traitress will soon learn all ; for her lorer dictated a letter to'her upon his couch of pain. Will she be happy ; can she be happy in the rosy houis of her early mar riage, when the thought of the dea"d ado rer, slain by her hand, rises like a por tentous eloud upon the fair horizon of her life '! Will not his pale corpse, with ita bleeding wounds, glide between her and her husband's aims, and banish Content ment forever from the profaned sanctuary of her Spirit ?
