lin account of the Etipimpment at Reading. Lieu
tenant Vr,t Lae . F; of the Harrisburg Telegraph, was
present, and thtis speaks - of his visit..' He soya:-
In company wittr dhOusands of our follow-citi
lens, we visited Reading last week to -take a view
of Camp Kosciusko. Thermals through Dauphin,
Lebanon and . Berks counties were in tine order; the
crops of 'rye, wheat and clover looked remarkably,
fine, 'and the toll gatesim the rotad'were as numer
ous,as ever. It is really gratifying to meet, one, of
these signs of civilization every four or five mile,
especially when they demand specie in these shin
plaster tunes !
The ericampmeht was; in point of numbers, a
failure, but the troops on the ground were well
and made a most imposing appearance.
Governor Porter and stafF revieived them on Satur
day, and they appeared to goo'd advantage.
On Saturjay,. General wiNruLD - SCOTT
and his 'aids arrived front Philadelphia. He. was
escorted front. the • depot by several eMnpanieti of
cavalry, and thr, utmost enthusiasm was manifested.
Until Into in .the.evening, crowds were in waiting,
eager to, be introduced to the Hero of Chippewa
and Queenstown. Many soldiers Who had fought
under his vii tor:ions standard, made themselves
known to their old commander, and several inci
dents ore most interesting nature occurred. On
had assisted to' carry the General from the field,
covered With wounds, after, victory had been achiev
ed, and: anothq was at his side when ascending
Queenstown height's., Men of nil parties seemed
'elisions to testify their appreciation of his eminent
services, and we were Pleased to see the cordil
reApflet which was'mnnifested towards him: The
