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

prom

which you were greeted
on that occasion.

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 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

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,

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

Col. Campbell,

feeling was not diminished, while looking

pany oHicers. The 54th, row on its way
to join the Army of the Potomac, is as
well blTleerod as any Regiment in the

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 '

have an abiding confidence in the success

the cloud, which now hovers over the bat-H

Correspondence of The Alleghaiuaa.
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

The Union men have suffered severely.

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.

The weather has been very changeable
for some time. One day may be bright,
and spring-like, the next dark, cool, and
rainiDg, and on a third the earth is cov
ered with a mantle of snow, and the cold
wind makes us clo: our Sibley s and keep

such days we can scarcely realize that we t

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
