We ae the following extract from a private letter, dated Camp on Seminary Hill, near Alexandria, .Va., March 23, 18C2 : "On Monday, 10th inst., at 11 a. m., we were ordered to pack up. 1 P. M. saw the Re eervc, with light hearts but heavy loads, marching up the Georgetown and Lees burg turnpike, from Camp Picrpont. We followed the pike for about tight miles, then turned to the left alcngthe Spriijg iale road, a by-road ankle-deep with mud. Crossed the Alexandria and Leesburg turnpike about two miles above Ford's Jlilla ; thence through woods, mud and water till 10 r. M., when we encamped on a Liil above Hunter's Mill, two miles above Vienna, on the railroad. It was a very severe march, and a great number gave out. Next morning we were up and Lai our coffee bright and early, expecting to resume the march, reach Centrevilie at s.n early hour, and have a brush with the F. F. Vs. Imagine our disappointment, then, when a despatch was received in foriuiug us that such was destined to not be the ease. We laid there until Friday. At Cj p. m.. commenced the retrogressive inarch, and marched till 10 cr 11 P. M., when we encamped cn a hill above Ford's 3Iill. It rained all night. In the morn ing, it was found that the creek was not fordable vhera the bridge had been burnt, on the L. & A. pike. Next morning we res'.itned the march. Took back the same road we had come until within three miles of Pierpont. At 12 zi. the rain by this time faliin" in torrents we turned to the right. At 5 o'clock, we encamped in a thicket of wood3 along side the Alexan dria and Leesbur g pike. Had marched eighteen miles, and were then about thir teen miles from Alexandria. The ground was covered with water, r.nd, although weary an! tired, but few. of us slept any daring the night. The rain ceased about 1 a.m. on Sunday. At 10 o'clock, we took up the line of march, and reached our present camp about -1 P. f. I cannot describe march pufHce it to say, it was horrible ! Mud up to tko knee al most every step of the road, the ruin fal ling iii torrents, obliged to encamp on the f"ld, wet ground, nd no covering but the little teuts we carry along ! Seven men died of fatigue and exposure in the Divis ion, but none from our regiment. The boys, as a general thing, enjoy excellent health. We expect to leave for another scene of action to-morrow going per wa ter don't know where to have an idea but presumptions are contraband here about just now." At latest accounts, the Reserves were stationed near Alexandria. Teachers' County Institute.- Ex cursion Tickets Issued! Wc aro glad to announce that the Pennsylvania Railroad, with characteristic liberality, have con sented to issue excursion tickets from JcLnstown and Crcpson, and intermediate point?, to Wilmore, good during tho Insti tute the ICth, 17lh and 13th instant. Teachers and others will thus be afforded a favorable opportunity to be present and participate in the exercises of the occa sion. We may add, cn pattsant, that the Institute promises to be a decided success. Many prominent educators, among them tLe Deputy State Superintendent of Com mon Schools, are expected to be present. Teachers and others interested in the sub ject of Popular Education should not fail to attend. The Continental. During a recent wit to Pittsburg, we were so fortunate as be domiciled for a season with our good friend, Dr. John Clark, at the Continen ts This is a newly erected hotel, gotten nP on first class principles, and situate di rectly opposite the Tcnna. Railroad pas 'nger depot. In point of comfort it is Dt excelled by any similar establishment iQ the city, and as to convenience, its dose proximity to the principal avenues gravel will speak volumes in its behalf. Ts public generally and Cambrians par l edsriy thould not fail to register their at the Continental when visiMner Certify city. XilUKSDAY: As it Should Be, Iii consequence of the extremu state of debilitation in which the EbcnsburjHf and, Wilmore Plank Road now finds itself, the authorities of that company have seen fit to remit the tolls at both ends of the route. ..Those who succeed in summoning up enough courage to 6till attempt this high-old-way should rejoice ! In this event, however, the ex hilaration would hardly extend over a very large surface, for, like the mythical Jordon, the E. & W. P. R. is a "hard road to travel," and few there be who en ter therein. In short, the E. & W. P. R. is defunct! The Question Settled. On Monday evening, our City Fathers, in council met, decided on the route for the proposed new road to the Depot., As follow3 : From High street south along Centre street to street running east and west past Acade emy ; westward along latter street one square to alley running north and south ; thence south along said alley to Depot. This is an excellent route, and of easy access frofa every direction. The alley above mentioned is to be widened by the addition of sixteen feet to it. We pre sume the work of grading will be com menced forthwith. Personal. Mr. Clinton R. Jones, for merly of this place, but latterly of West ern Virginia, paid us a brief visit during the beginning of the present week. He looks hale and hearty, as if the climate of that region were an agreeable sort of com panion. He states that the Union senti ment is prevalent there, albeit Secession is is not altogether played out in other por tions of the "Sacred Soil." Success to C. 11. may he 'live a hundred years ! Removal. C. T. Roberts has removed his jewelry store from its former location to the office one door east of D. J. Evans & Son's store. By this arrangement he comes into one of the most eligible busi ness situations in town. He gives it as his conviction, moreover, that he can now sell clocks, wartches, jewelry, etc., at a manifest reduction on former prices. Give him a call and see. Vegetable Coffee.

To the Editor of The Alleghanian : While in Johnstown last week, I had the pleasure of attending an Exhibition given by the pupils of ?Ir. J. E. Gifien's Select Acad em'. it was a complete success, each and every one acquitting himself with credit. Some of the elder pupils exhibited a profi ciency really astonishing. It were unjust to attempt enumerating the excellencies of any particular one. yet I could not help remarking the fluency with which some very difficult subjects wore handled. The exercises were commenced with prayer 1y the Rev. Mitchell. An oration on "The Past and Present of America'" was then deliv ered by W. M. Douglass. He did the subject full justice. Although not a pleasing speak er, he is an eSoctive one. J. II. Cooper came next, with an original composition on "Vice and its Consequences." lie pictured crime and its concomitants in glowing language, and with a power and depth of cxjTcssion rarely equalled. A musical fantasia on the piano by Mrs. Lnckhardt, assisted by a lady pupil of the institution, was beautiful, as in deed was the music throughout the entire evening. An essay, "Mind Vour Own Busi noss," read by P. A. Wilson, was well writ ten. "Zephyr's Soliloquy," by a lady, elicited great applause. It possessed a refreshing originality that was really charming. "Maud Mason," by another young lady, was a very good composition, but read In such an indis tinct tone a3 to preclude much judgment a3 to its merits. Several others, who could be beard but a short distance from the stage, should try and improve the pitch of their voices. A debate, the question being "Should Congress Emancipate Slaves?" was rather deep" a subject for the two young gentlemen who participated in it. They each like too many of our Representatives in the halls of Congress appeared to imagine that "nights of eloquence were required, and not sub stantial argument. The Exhibition closed by a short dissertation on "The Beauties of the Latin Language," by the Principal. lie suc ceeded in completely mystifying his audience, and if they did iut appear to appreciate its beauties, the learned Professor certainly did. The room was densely crowded dum:g the exercises of the evening, thus showing con clusively that the people of Johnstown take a deep interest in the education of o-ur future ' Presidents nt senators, ani tiie;r wives. From tiie Cambria Regiment. Camp Gaupbell, near Washington D. C. March 21, 1862. To the Editor of The Alleghauian : Long have we looked and longed, and looked and longed in Tain for a copy of uT7ie Alleghanian." Not even a gtray copy has reached us since we left Camp Curtin. It used to be one of our most regular and welcome visitors. We have heretofore excused its remissness upon the grounds that the muddy roads to our camp prevented its coming, but thi3 ex cuse will do no longer. I would take great pleasure in furnish ing you regularly with a camp effusion,, had I anything to write about. The or dinary routine of duty presents nothing worthy of the pen of a correspondent. When wo 'take up the line of march, I will then have an ample scope, and hope to improve the opportunity. The camp fire at night presents the on ly feature of interest. Here the lover of fun can enjoy himself in listening to the varns spun by the soldier on his fellow comrade. Among the most ludicrous I have heard is one told of a soldier, but not of the 54th, standing guard near a mud-hole of considerable depth, one dark night. Sometime during the night, the "Officer of the Day" started cn his tour of inspection. With his escort he ap proached the guard. -. ; "Who comes there ?" challenged the sentinel. . Just at this moment the Senrcant of the guard missed his footing, and stepped into the mud-hole. "Jesus Christ !" exclaimed the Ser geant. Taking this to be the name of the party approaching, the guard sang out: "Advance, Jesus Christ, and give the countersign !" It is unnecessary for me to add that this is decidedly the best story of guard duty we have yet heard. Rut there are hundreds of others told for truth by the mysti-5 circle at the guard tent. Except the regular service and drills, wc have but little to do as a general rule. This life is admit ably calculated to make one lazy and doless. Plenty to eat and wear, and but little hard labor, has a ten dency, at any time, to enervate the man, but when vou add to this the close con finement of the camp, you only tend to hasten the result. The march and battle alone call forth the euergy of the soldier. What the result of the coming summer's campaign will have upon our boys, wc can only conjecture. But wc "sincerely desire to be sent to Dixie ere old Sol travels too far Northward. Far more is to be dreaded, the army surgeons pay, from sickness consequent upon an advance into a warm climate by Northern troops, than from the destructiveness of powder and lead. The destruction in time of battle, the history of this war has shown, notwithstanding the number of troops en gaged, and the improved weapons of of fense and defence employed, is remarka bly small. What a striking contrast the history of ancient battles presents to those of mod ern times. On the one hand we read : "And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and there fell one hundred and twer.ty and five thousand on that day." Whilst on the other we find : Victory ! Terrible Fighting ! A Terrific Hand to Hand Struggle ! Terrible Loss of Life1 cn both Sides! Ten Rebels left Dead on the Field l' . Only Two of the Federals drilled! And then the writer uses three columns of the Inquirer or Press to tell, in small type, what he has already blazoned to the world in capitals of enormous size. Now we can't help but thick that a sensible man would feel ashamed of such mon strous "torn -foolery" about the merest skirmish. There have been but few reg ular battles fought in this war, and in each of them the bill of fatality has been most remarkably and unaccountably small. Rut we find we are wandering, and may throw ourselves open to the same measure of criticism we have just been bestowing upon the modern historian of the battle field. No important change has been made in our Regiment since I last wrote you. And, excepting the fact, that ours was the honored regiment that furnished the funeral escort to the late gallant Col. Cameron, nothing has intervened to re lieve the tedium of camp life. "We have not yet been apprised of who is to be our Brigadier General, but are constantly ex pecting something definite upon that sub ject. This is a matter we are all anxious to know something about. When this becomes known to u?, wc may then be able to say something concerning our fu ture movements. Until then I hardly expect to know anything outside the lim- i i its nf our camp. Hon ace. Exciter from Ilarrlsburgr. IIaeetsbceg, March 31, 1BC2. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Both Houses of the Legislature have agreed upon an adjournment sine die on the 11th day of April. All the most important measures have been-left for final decision un til the close of the session. The Apportion ment Bill has been amended in the Senate, and will be acted upon, during the week, in the Ilouse. The House Bill for re-imposing the tax upon tonnage, upon the Pennsylvania Railroad, has been reported in the Senate, but has not, as yet, been taken up in that body. The following Joint Resolution will be adopted by the Senate, and is expressive of the views of a majority in reference to the Tonnage Tax question. This action I predic ted in a former letter: "Resolved, Qc, That our Senators in Con gress be instructed, and our representatives requested, to favor a uniform tax upon ton nage as one of the provisious of the general tax bill. "Resolved, That if Congress shall fail to impose a general tax upon tonnage, the "com missioners to revise the tax law of the State be requested to consider the expediency of imposing a uniform tax upon the tonnage of the. State, to be applied exclusively to the liquidation of any debt heretofore contracted, or hereafter to be contracted, for the defence of this State or the maintenance of the Na tional Union. Such taxes to be imposed as to alTord every just discrimination in favor of Pennsylvania trade and interests, and said commissioners to report on the seme to the next Legislature by bill or otherwise." The Senate Joint Resolutions rtlativc to abolishing slavery in the District of Colum bia are in the House, having been reported by the Committee, without amendment. The Senate Hill, apportioning the State into Con gressional Districts, is also in the. House, where it will probably undergo material amendment. Our District, composed of the counties of Cambria, Biair, Huntingdon and MifYlin, will remain as it now is. : "There are many slips 'twixt the cup and the lip,", is an old and true saying. Those interested in the adjudication and payment of Military claims have tested its truth, in the withdrawal of the Bill, which had passed both Houses, providing for them. After hav ing fought It through, the friends of the Bill and those interested found that the Gover nor objected to many of it3 provisions, and that unless withdrawn, be would be obliged to veto it. It i. understood that the Gover nor estimates the amount necessary to meet the claims under the Bill, at something like two millions of dollars. This sum would have to be provided for by a new loan, and, in the present state of the Treasury, the ne gotiation of further loans is inadvisable. Hugo. JAMES GRAHAM, II. J. THOMAS.
