On Sunday evening, lGth March, we arrived at Alexandria, and took up our Yuarters on a hill densely covered -with a :ccoud growth of small white oak. This ;t:;3 quite a desirable place lor camping, wood aud water were abundant. We were to have shipped from this poiut on the fl'Ilywuig Tuesday, and gone up the t'jamca rlvefj but in consequence of some change iu the programme, we didn't. We remained at Alexandria for nearly fiour weeks, awaiting oidcrs to .ship. The I First brigade, Gen. Reynolds, of our di libion, on "Wednesday took the cars and wnre sent to Jdanassas J unction. e got orders to follow on .Friday morning also per railroad, but on startiug, we ascer tained that we were not to go iu the cart, but, per contra, over the "shoe-leather route," as the soldiers call it, or on foot. $ As you probably are aware, there is a vast 1 difference between riding iu a railroad car 1 and marching on foot on a warm day, wkh ffixtv or seventy pounds avoirdupois strap ped to one's shoulders, so you may be imre the change in our behalf was not in the least relished by the boys. I However, we packed up and were in iioiJ at 7 A. 31., when we received the order, "forward I" We marched steadily all day, passing through Fairfax Court 4 House, (which was, no doubt, a very pleasant village before the war, of perhaps 1 uix or seven hundred inhabitants, but now looking consi ierablv delapidated,) and en- 4 camred for the rjiiht about three miles I ... further on, and within three miles of I CVutrevillc .Recommenced the march at o'clock, A. M., and reached the latter I place at seven. The town itself docs not .'juiount to much, but its location is exce llent, the face cf the country being ex (treruelv level. The Rebels had no eoa itiderable fortifications here, oilier than a ioncr iine of earthworks thrown up in front icf the vill'e, commaudincr the road' and pl tlie adjacent country, neither do I thiuk they had many guns mounted. 1 'noticed what I supposed to be guns of the dirgcst calibre, but upon closer iuspectioL fthey proved to be nothing but large ma- -Ihere must have been quite a large army wintered here, a3 he country for miles ground is covered with encampments. p. heir quarters, too, were greatly superior o ours, the huts being large aud well -Constructed. I At about coo a, we crossed the Stone fridge over Bull Hun, where the memo , bio battle of the 21st of July commenced. The stream is not broad, but verv dcer 'and raj-.id. We stopped here to eat and Test, af.d used some of the water to make our coffee ! f - After resting a short tinio, we again got into line, and arrived at Manassas Junc tion about throe o'clock. We encamped short distance from the railroad station, where we remained until Monday morn ing'. We then moved a quarter of a mile fi'urthcr back, where the ground was more -dry, with plenty of wood aud water. 1 There is nothing uotf to be seen of the Village of Manassas save the charred and 1. . t : e ii. - 1 rn. ..1'iacH.cncu ruins oi ine iioums. ine coun- try, like that around Ccntrcville, is level. vot far from the Junction there is a large graveyard, where over two hundred Rebel oldiers are buried. On Sunday, your correspondent, in company with neveral others, visited the OJull Hun battle field, lying in a north western direction from Manassas, and .-'about four miles distant. The battlo-field is about a mile square, intersected with Jnumerous ravines, and covered with small Jhills and surrounded by dense thickets of shunted pino and oak. The most notable fpot to be seen is where the Ellsworth fFiro Zouaves were charged upon by the Black Horse Cavalry. This took place r"" the knob of a hill, and where th? Reb- 4 el Horso fell can easily bo distinguished by a long line of horses' bones left bleach ing in the sua. Just below the scene of the charge, a number of the Fire Zouaves are buried or, rather, left to lie where they fell, with a littlo dirt thrown over them I I saw the bones of several of them protruding from tho mold, and I assure you it was a most horrid spectacle. We were told by au old negrcss, whose house stood near by, that Hebel soldiers, and particularly the (Georgian?, used to visit the battle-field, and, through hatred of the Zouaves, pry their bodies out.qtf the graves ! The negress, who was quite intelligent, also gave us a full history of the battle from its commencement to its end. She pointed out where the Hebel batteries were placed,' the position of the troops, and the routo by which Johnson brought up tho reinforcements that deci ded the fate of the battle. We returned to camp in tho evening. Bernard Farabaush, a member of Co. A, died last week at Alexandria Hospital, of tvohoid fever. - W. "WHO Was He?" The Question An swered. The last Jobstowu Tribune, after quoting, a paragraph from the Philadel phia Press, in which a man who had formerly been one of the Secession guards over Person Brownlow at Knoxville jail is represented as meeting and greeting that distinguished personage, during his recent trip, eastward, at Gallitziu, this county, inquires "Who was this ex-Secession soldier ? Was ho a native or citizen of this county, or a traveler oa the train V We are happy to have it in our power to answer that the identical indi vidual here spoken of is or was, until the war broke out a resident of Cambria county. His name is Joseph A. Kcrbey, and the narrative of his adventures iu the camps cf the Rebels and subsequent escape therefrom is to be found in the columns of kst week's AHeyJtanlan. The reporter of the Press was in error iu describing the re-union as occurring at Gallitzin. It took place at Wi'moro, thi3 county. Although their acquain tance had been formed uuder exceeding adverse circuuastauces, the Parson recog nized his whilom guard immediately, and during the thort stay of the train at the station, the two engaged in an animated conversation. The first question the Par son asked, after mutual explanations had ensued, was ''Have they (the Seeesh) got my son John in jail at Knoxville?" A negative answer was returned, and pa ternal affection gratified. The Parson received through Mr. Kerbey the first direct intelligence he has had of his fam-5K- fnr rr.nnv da v. ... j j. r -r 7.w Y i T1 1 .ur. xveroey is now at u a-suiugron city, whither he has gone to lay hi3 varied store of information concerning the in- I tercal arrangements of Seceshiana before j the proper authorities. lie Las promised, on his return, to furnish us a detailed ac count of his adventures and hair breadth escapes a tithe only of which have been told for publication. We hope he may not succeed in being recaptured by the enemy in the meantime ! A Quartermaster Under . Fire. In the special correspondence of the New York Herald of the 17th ultimo, dated "In Camp Beyond Inlrenchments, York town, Va., April 12, 18G2," we find the following paragraph : At twelve o'clock, as Captain Smith, Bri gade Quartermaster, wa3 coming up York Itiver, with a steamboat loaded with forage, the enemy saluted him with three shots. To come up IJack river to "a landing adjoining the brigade encampment, the "Loat had to move round a projecting bar in York River, to keep the channel, which brought hi in within three-quarters of a mile of their guns. The first shot a round one passed over the deck just alt the smoke pipe. The remaining shots were shells, the first of which fell cou- f siderablv short, and the last oui went at a proportionately pleasant distance beyond. Ci'ptain Smith as plucky a man as the next one kept his craft moving ahead, notwith standing these disagreeable salutations, and landed his forage safely. "N e know that there are, to say the least of it, a variety of gentlemen bearing the time-houored and popular name of Smith iu the Union army; yet, taking into consideration the facts that ike Smith herein so honorably specified is a Captain by prefix, a Brigade Quartermaster by profession, and to make assurance doubly sure "as plucky a man as the next one," we are irresistibly led to the' conclusion that he can be none other than our old friend, Captain. George Nelson Smith, the well known ex-legislator and ex-cditor, cf this county, but at present serving as Bri gade Quartermaster somewhere in Vir ginia, and most likely with the army before Yorktown. If this surmise be true, we congratulate Captain Smith on his narrow escape, and beg leave to add the hope that, though "perils thick and dangers many" surround him, he may never become "food for powder," or any thing in any wise thereunto approximating. Tu a Eleventh Hegtmext, P. It. C. A couple of weeks since, we noticed that Captain Porter, of Co. B, had been elected 3Iajor of the B'evcnth Pcuna. Reserves, rice Maj. Litzingtr, resigned. In consequence of some informality in the proceedings, however, this election was set aside and another ordered to be held. This latter election came off recently, and resulted in the selection of Adjt. Johns as Major. The Adjutautship being thus made vacant, Lieut. Robert A. M'Coy of our own Cambria Guards was promo ted to that important position. Wo ten der these gentlemen our congratulations, feeling sure that tho high trust reposed in them will prove to have been not mis placed. To our fellow-townsman, Adjt. M'Coy, particularly, we would say, in tho language of Puniblechook to Pip, in Great Expectations, "Thank Fortune, and may she ever pick out her favorites with equal judgment." About a Cambrian. The Johntown Tribune of last week contains the follow ing extract from a Bloomington, Illinois, paper, making honorable men won of a former Ebensburger Holla N.

Nineteenth Regular Infantry. From a letter writteu by the Surgeon of the above regiment to the Philadelphia Prrss, we extract the following compli mentary meution of Company C, Capt. WilHar.13: We arrived. ot Savannah at 10 P. M., (Saa day.) and were placed on board a steamer and towed up the river eight miles, to Pitts burg Landing. We marched from the boat, during a shower of rain and a heavy cannon ading from the gunboats at 3 A. M. on Mon day morning. We reposed oa our n.rms, in fine df battle, until 7 A. M., and then entered the woods. Our division was in the centre of the line, acid bore the brunt of the battle. After the first fire I lost sight of ciy regiment in the smoke. 1 did not see my regiment again Tiritil noon, wlrtn Capt. T. C. Williams, of Company C, aud Lewis Snyder, first lieutenant, led their men into the heart of three blazing butteries, avd captured them. I saw tliis, and felt proud to be with such a comciau'der. Capt. Williams and Lieut. Snyder are both Pennsyivcnians, and th5ir company is composed almost exclusively of the hardy mountaineers of Little Cambria. We are glad to hear this flattering report of the prowess of "our boys" froi such competent authority. Educational. Oa our outside this week we publish the official proceedings of the recent Teachers' County Institute, held at Wihnore. In order that our rea ders may understand the somewhat ob scure remarks concerning "Resolution No. 4," we beg leave to explain : This resolution, as reported by the Committee, strongly censured our late Representative, Mr. Pershing, aud him alone for his persistent opposition to the bill before the Legislature constituting twenty days a School Month. It was eventually modi fied by the Institute, however, to embrace within its c-pnsorious limits all legislator? who may have eliminated remarks "de- rogafory to the dignity and honor of the Teacher's profession." Hesolution No. 8 condenses a large amount of truth into a nut shell, and expresses our sentiment precisely. Dead.
