On the afternoon of Saturday the 80th
ult., the large new frame dwelling house
«»V Punj SnitU, niuated in V til i' L 'Vp..
Hutler county, about 4 miles north of
Butler town, was entirely consumed by
firr. wi()i all its contents, except four beds
and a few small articles, l'erry Smith,
the owner of the house, resides at the
Oreat Western Iron Works, his father,
mother, brother and a couple of women
folks were living in the house. Two of
the women, we arc informed, were out on
some part of the farm planting potatoes,
Mic of them returned to the house to make
ir iiakr bread, when it was discovered that
the house was on fire. The old folks are
<|iiitc aged, and infirm, the old being
cripple, anil when she was j
from the devouring flames, they
bad reached the chair in which she was
sitting, so that she barely escaped with
her life. When help arrived, the flames
bad progressed so rapidly and the building
was so far gone that it could not be saved,
and the house with all its contents, ex
cept as above mentioned were entirely con
sumed; some, if not all. of the inmates
arc left without even a change of gar
ments. Some money—we cannot say
how much, was lost. Wo have not been
informed how the building took fire,
anything more, than it is supposed that
it caught from the kitchen chimney.

The following arrangements have been ■
perfected for the payment of the State
Militia in But'.er county, who were called
into the service of the I nited States, for
the emergency in Sept.. 1802.
I'nymcnrto the company organized at
Hutler. and commanded by ('apt. James

atone o'clock. I'. M., and the company
commanded by ('apt. William R. Hutchi
son. will be paid on the succeeding day.
May 17th, at or near (ieorge Coopers, in !
Middlesex Township, at ten o'clock, a. m. '
If any members of either of the above
companies, find it impossible to attend on j
the day appointed for the payment of his j
company, payment will be made to his
properly authorized * 'torncy. Blank i

Attorney is now serving in the army of

fore th' Colonel Commanding his Regi
ment If it is executed before a Notary
I'oh 11 -, it must be attested by bis official
seal, and if executed before a Justice of
the Peace, the seal of the Prothonotary
must be attached to a certificate, showing

CAMP NEAR LICKING RUN, Va.
MKSSRS EDITORS: —Having an idle
hour at my disposal. I thought I would
employ it in sending you a note descrip
tive id' events that have transpired since
1 left old Butler count}'. I left the Lowry
house in the stage, on Thursday the 25th
day of February, for Pittsburgh, which
I city we reached about nine o'clock, alter
2 or !5 break downs, and walking the last
half mile.l put up at the Carson house,
Allegheny city; the next morning I went
down to the office of the Provost Marshal,
was examined and mustered into the service
of Uncle Samuel. Here T would say that
tlieexßiiiiningsurgeon, Dr. Perchment.isa
mast, accomplished gentleman ; any person
coming under his eye for examination
will find him a gentleman in every sense
of the word, and one I think, that under
stands his business. The evening of the
20th we were sent over to Pittsburgh to
the Girard House, where we were kept
under strict guard ; there were about two
hundred crowded into one room ; there 1
took my first lesson in soldiering, that is,
lying on the floor; next morning we were
put on the cars and sent to camp Cope
land. or it should rathar be called camp
mud, where we partook of break fast about
two o'clock, consisting of Coffee and a
small niece of bread. 1 have been in a j
I great many places, but camp Misery, as j
the boys termed it, goes ahead of anything j
that 1 have met; the mud was about (en j
inches deep: the most of the barracks
were crowded with men; they are ill- ;
constructed buildings, narrow and not
ventilated, and the mud being plenty in
the streets, they were as dirty as they
could well be. The officers at the head
of affairs are rather tyrannical, for to keep
the best of feeling towards them from the
men, a corporal there felt as large and
talked with as much authority as a Colonel
!in this army. There was the most drun
[ kenness, profane swearing, and obscene
j language there that it has ever been my
1 lot to come in contact with; young boys
j that were just making their debut iu the
world, could out swear and blackguard ,
the oldest rowdy's in camp, and spend
i their money at the Suttlers. It was ru
mored through camp, and generally be
lieved, that the commander of the place .
was the principal owner of the ftiachinc
and they robbed the soldiers almost with
out mercy, selling them goods at three
times what they could get them at in j
Pittsburgh—selling them Rifle Whisky,
lalteled Raspberry Wine; it may be wine,
but it makes them drunk any how; the
grub comes up in miserable bad shape, the
cooks putin a little too much dirt to make
it palatable, the cook houses are as dirty
as any horse stable in Butler county. You
may think I am severe, but it is true, we
were detained there near three weeks,
when we received our bounty and took the :
cars for the capital of the old Keystone ; J
we arrived there on the morning of the .
19th of March, were marched down to
the subsistence rooms, where wc got our ■
breakfast and laid over until two o'clock,
when we embarked for Baltimore, which
<;ity we reached about sundown and were
inarched to the Union relief association
rooms, where we remained until teno'clock
on Sabbath day. when wc yvere placed on
some some old freight cars and sent to
Washington city ; we were marched about
two miles through the streets down to the
levee, where wc embarked for Alexandria,
wc landed about sunset in this place, made
notorious by the murder of the gallant
Ellsworth ; yvc were taken to the soldiers
rest, remained all night, then we yvere j
marched down to the wharf, armed and j
equipped; next morning wc were posted
on top of a freight train and started for
Brandy Station, on the Orange and Alex'
andria rail road. Thebloofly'sixtysecond,
is lying two miles below Warrenton J unc
tion doing guard duty on the rail road,
they have anyamonntof duty to do, being
on guard every third day.
We arrived at the Regiment on the 22d
lilt., where we built quarters, and are liv
ing at home and boarding at the same
place. There is any amount of troop
going forward at this time, every train
that goes along is loaded with infantry,
and there is immense trains of Cavalry
and Artillery going to the front. If we
cannot make the rebellion quake this
spring and summer yvc had better play
quit. but I think yon will hear a noise
from the Potomac army before long, the
President has placed old Unconditional
Surrender Grant, at the helm of affairs,
lie is re-organiising the army, but I mast
close. 1 remain,
SIXTY SECOND.
For tho Citizen.
(•afl'or llrccii.
I knew a man named Gaffer Green,
A Government borutor,
Who vi'tod for old "ten cent Buck"'
And likewise " Breck" the traitor.
Aaalnstall loyal man it seemed
lie had a great aversion;
And when thin war broke out he said.
There must be no coercion.
Yet after all he changed his tun*,
And said, coerce with vigor,
Confiscate the traitor's land.
But, oh! don't touch his nigger.
Then changed again and called on peace,
As Idnd «« he conldcall her,
And said he wuuld not vote eld Abe,
A "ingle man or dollar.
He cried aloud with might and main,
Till he was pretty fcr-gone;
But found. Peace could not understand,
A copperhead's vile jargon.
II cjolncd the K. G. CH, and bought
A gun for his son Sammy;
S ild he, "I'll learn the boy to shoot;
And if 1 d -n tjthen hang me
This war has lingered long enough,
Ti« time the thing were ending.
A\e love the South, and so "He will
Kcsist the draft now ponding."
And thus this Gaffer Green would stay,
At home among his cattle,
And fire on soldiers in the roar.
An they marched forth to battle
But when the day of trial came,
And Maui h Chunk took the lead sir.
Vile Gaffer Green who would not hear,
Now thought he he'd better heed sir.
So wiped his gun and laid it by.
Vfw frightened like '• tarnation,"
And mid the conscript law was good,
All »av«< the commutation.
Said it was made to suit tho rich,
And that, if he must say it.
iie'd goto war a thousand timet,
Before he d ever pay it.
He naitl: "if drafted he would go,
To battle f«»r the nation,
That no one but a cowardly sneak,
Would pav the commutatt< n"'
As time wore on the draft was made,
And Gaffer's name was taken,
The cuss now thought the way was right,
That best would save his bacon.
He sold— and borrowed what he could,
And went straignt on tho morrow,
And paid three hundred down,
Without remorse or sorrow.
Paid that * the conscript law was right,
Audit was his decision.
That Congress wisely in that act,
Made ample full provision."
Yon thus may see by Gaffer Grcon,
How fitl*e. and bow erratic.
How tilled with treason is the band,
The party democratic.
