Letter from our Soldiers.
Camp is me Field, Alabama,
August 13, 1863. J
Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
Thinking a few lines from the Army of
the Cumberland from Co. C, 19th Rog
ersmight not rrove uninteresting to
y0ur readers, I take the liberty of addres
,ior jou. You are doubtless aware that
,fter the battle of Stooe river we .lay some
iix months at Murfreesboro without
moving. The orders to maTch came at
last on the 24th June. The morning we
left camp it commenced raining, and
rain was the programme for twenty -two
day. This made our situation very un
comfortable, notwithstanding which the
ibovs remained in the best of spirits and
ware eager for the fray. The roads soon
became almost impassible, and our trains
Vere neatly delayed, which accounts for
Brags 8 escape. 1 ou are aware oi wnai
took place during the Rebel general's
retreat, so it is unneoessary for me to give
particulars. Suffice it to 6ay that, in the
operation of skedaddling, he lost some
five thousand men.
If I am not greatly mistaken, you may
expect some news from this department
joon which will cause a thrill of joy to
penetrate every loyal heart and give the
Copperheads reason to skulk dismayed to
their holes.
Talkiag of Copperheads : If these
disloyal gentry only knew the true feelings
of the soldiers towards them, it would
jive th-m but little consolation. But
perhaps, to men eo lost to all feelings of
patriotism, and principle aa to sympathize
with armed treason, it makes but lit tl
diSerence what soldiers think ! They
would sooner, possibly, bask iu the good
pees of feF. Davis, the Devil, and others
of like ilk, than have the respect of the
loyal and honest. If so, we avow ourselves
usable to cope with the difficulty they
are beyond the reach of mora! surgery
to we are obliged to leave them to Jeff
Davis and the Devil.
We in the army have some respect for
those ia arms e gainst us. Thpy at least
lave the courage to meet us in a fair field.
But for those cowardly miscreants who
stab their country and its cause in the
tack we have none. Thev are beneath
ourcoateinpt even. I pity their children,
for the words and deeds of their slimy
progenitors will be a stumbling-block in
their path forever.
One consolation to us is, that the Cop
perhead fraternity composes but a small
portion of the great mass of the people of
tke loyal States. Abraham Lincoln was
constitutionally elected President of these
luted States that all men know and
s such should be obeyed. When the proper
taw arrives, if the majority of the Amer
ican people desire a change of measures
madmen. thPV nn liiT-n tr an 1 ma irill
j y w
g'TC them our hearty support. In the
meantime, we are bound by every dictate
f honor and duty to support those in
Minority over us.
There is certainlv some difference, as
"girds pleasure, between a soldier's life
ad that of a citizenthe difference pre
ponderating iQ favor of the latter. Now,
ttnch as we doolie to return to nnr frienda
4 homes, I am free to say that, so Ion
13 thpri its nn T i . . 1
43 Aere is an armed traitor above ground,
11 cur determination to remain fighting
wt&e old flag our fore-fathers bequeathed
that priceless emblem of a liberty
jciueved after eight long years of priva-
and suffering. The llebellion must

On our outside today we print the
discourse delivered by Rev, Harbison on
the late National Thanksgiving day. It
ia an eloquent, patriotic effort, well wor
thy an attentive perusal.
Charles, son of Mr C. B. Ellis, of
Johnstown, and a member of Capt. Ryck
man's cavalry company, was killed re
cently by his horse falling upon bim.

The Draft. On our opposite page we
print the names of the persona in this
county who were eo "fortunate" aa to
draw prizes in the late draft. The draw
ing came off at Huntingdon on Thursday
last, and was conducted throughout with
entire fairness. The manner of proceed
ing was about in this wise: The names
of all those liable to the draft, in each
sub-district, wre first placed in the wheel;
a blind man was then blindfolded, who,
after the wheel had undergone a complete
revolution, would draw forth a ticket;
this ticket was read aloud, spelled, sub
jected to the scrutiny of the judges, and
finally passed to the clerks to be entered
down. Thus, until the quota of each
sub-district had been drawn.
Tho total number drawn from the
county was 781, which includes the fifty
per cent excess to cover exemptions.
Four citizens of this county, namely,
Messrs. A. A. Barker, Wm. Kittell, C.
L. Pershing and John M. Bowman, were
present by special invitation to witness
and participate in the drawing.
In this borough the number drawn was
21, politically classified as follows: 10
Democrats, 10 Unionists, 1 Negro the
latter the only one in town, by the way.
Lawyers, merchants, carpenters, laborers
almost every profession and class was
levied upon for contributions. No less
than three printers were drafted winch
is rather a "big thins" on the art-preservative
confraternity. In the county,
four ministers of the Gospel were also
"called." Truly, the presiding deity of
the draft stone-blind Chance is no re
specter of persons !
There was no disturbance nor sign of
disturbance manifest at the drawing. On
the contrary, everything passed off quietly
and in order. It is, furthermore, notice
able that there is now no talk of "resist
ing the draft" or obstructing the work
ings of the law. The conviction has
impressed itself on every mind that one
of three things has to be done put on a
"sub," pay 300, or yo. And, like good
men and patriots, they hold themselves
prepared for the execution of one of the
alternatives.
Cambria County Teachers' Insti
tute. The Executive Committee of this
organization met at Cresson on Saturday
last, and prepared a programme of exer
cises for the next semi-annual meeting
to be held at Wilmore on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, 2Sch, 29th and 30th
September, coming. It is as follows :

Cuiipiuan. Lectures lv-Messrs. J. F.Allen
aud W. II. II. Freeman.

and Mi?3 ue Magellan. Lecture by Daniel

JJssagst On the importance of Kducatiou
to the individual and to society, by Miss
Mary J. Jones. On the proper method of el
evating the science of Teaching to its proper
place among the learned profess ons, by Miss
Hannah Evans. On the influence of intelli
gence upon the morality of a community, by
Ilev. B. L. Agnew. On I'hysicnl Culture
forming one of the branches of instruction in
our common schools, by Mr. Schwartz!.
Subjects for General Discussion : Resolved,
that public school exhibitions are injurious.
What books on Teaching should be read bv
the Teacher?
The understanding at the last Institute
was, that the next session would be held
at Lorctto ; but this was found to be im
practicable, by reason that no building of
a suitable character could bo secured in
the village. Wilmore, occupying a cen
tral position as regard the county at
large, will be found to be a good exchange.
After a long continued stretch of
extremely dry weather, extendingx over
a period of several weeks, on Mdhday the
floodgates of heaven were opened upon us
after a truly refreshing style. The rain
poured down in torrents Monday evening
and all day Tuesday, and we have been
favored with intermittent storms and
showers ever since. The effect of this for
good can scarcely be conceived at' the
very least, by the breaking up of the
drouth, the corn crop has been saved from
total destruction in this sectionr
