Many years ago, when Condersport,the seat of justicti in Potter Connty,.was iots infancy, there lived and flourished a good old man belted Taggart. He was en dowed with strong common sense,a genial disposition and considerable love of fun. His education was _quite 'hilted . ; but for 'all that he was the choice of the people and the Governor 'for justice of the .peace for many years. One day a man was arrested and brought before "Squire - Taggart," , ehaiged• with setting fire 'to a neighbor's barn. Mr. Cole, a lawyer of the place, was employed for the prosecution,and onel'acob Bishop, a wrangling, ignorant, and ;pretentious pettifogger, was employed fOr the defense. In the course of the examination the wife of the man whose barn bad been burned was brought on the stand as a witness for the prosecution, whereupon Bishop got up and objected to the witness. "State the ground of your objection," said th&iustiee, "Yes, yes," interposed the counsel for the. prosecution, ."we want to know upon what grolinds you object to this witness." The pettifogger here drew himself up, and, looking at the old justice with an air of profound wisdom, said, slowly and em - .. phatieally, "May it please this hon'ble court, I ab ject to this witness on the ground that she is compos mantis." ('Compes mantis!" exclaimed Cole, Wait laugh. ''Come, come, Bishop, don't you go to humbugging the (30111 t with your not'isense." "Sir, said the justice, sternly, "this court permits no hog Latin to be used here, and you must state in plain English what you moan by such outlandish talk as compos mantis. For thy part I never heard anything against the woman's char acter before." "I beg Cue hon'ble conrt's pardon," said BiAJp, with great dignity. '•I had no intention of clefamating the lady!f character; ?and what I meant by her Us ing compos mentis is, that she is interest ed in the event of this here suit, and i therefore I object." The court overruled, and the case went —The lawyer, COLE, here mentiened is still living in Coudersport. BETRAYED.

The Black Regiment: Dark a$ the clouds of ecen, - Ranked in the,western heaven, Waiting the breath that lifts All the dread rnass, and drifts Tempest, and falling brand Over a ruined land:.= So still and orderly,. Arno to arm; knee to knee,. Waiting the great event, Stands the black regiment. Down the long dusky line ' Teeth gleam and eye-balls shine; , And the bright bayonet,. Bristling and firmly set, • Flashed with n purposo grand, Long ore theharp command Of the fierce rolling drum Told them their time had come; Told them that work was sent For tho black regiment. "Now," the flag-sergeant cried, "Though death and hell betide, Let the eihole nation see If we are fit to be. Free in this land ; or hound Down, like the whining hofirid Bound with red stripes of pain In oar old chains again I" Oh ! what a shout their went From the black regiment. I'Charge.l" Tramp and drum awoke, Ontvard the boudinen broke: Bayonet and sabre stroke Vainly oppoied their rush. Through the wild brittle's crush, With but one thought aflush, Driving their lords like chaff, In the gnat month they laugh; 'Or at the elipl cry brands • Leaping with oven hands, Down they tear Ina and hors Down in their awful course; Trampling with bloody heel Oyer the crashing steel, All their eyes forward bent Rushed the black regiment. "Freedom !" their battle ery--;: "Freedom ! or leave to, die 1" Ah ! and' then meant the word, Not as with us 'tie heard, . Not a mere portyshout: They gave their spirits o . c,t ; Trusted the end to God, • And on the gory sod • Rolled in triumphant blood, Glad to, strike one free blow, Whether for weal or woe; Glad to breathe one free breath) Though on the lips of death. Fraying-oas! in vain I— .That theyfmfglit fall again, So they could once more see That burst of liberty! • This was what "freedom" lent To the black regiment.

Moller front Cot. Thos. L. Young MASON CREEK, TENN., Jan. 4, '64.-- DEAR ROBERT : Hero goes for a long let ter ma rebel sheet of .paper, pr wore pro perly a sheet of paper manufactured in rebeldom, which when we have nothing else is not so bad. This is part of a large quantity we captured at Loudon after we re-took that place. On the 9th of Nov ember we were driven out of Loudon and on the sth of December we drove the rebels out of it. In the meanwhile we were cut oiT from cur army at Knoxville by Longstreet, and secured a means of retreat to Chattanooga if necessary. But we did not Intend to go beyond Kingston if we could possibly subsist • on what had been left in the country. We'found 1 con siderable corn and pork, but the rebelsi had destroyed all the grist-mills when 'they were leaving, and so we had to eat our corn 'parched' and made into hominy which with the pork and an odd beef on eosionally, sustained life—but nothing more. For myself, I did not suffer much ---beeause, as youlare aware, I have been through the school of privations-=but my poor men suffered terribly ; cramp's and diarhcea and camp fevers followed our unusual diet, and many of our beet men suceowbed. Our regiment (the 118th Ohio) has 133 absent .sick and 53 pre sent sick, besides our wounded. , I en joyed tolerable good health but Tam very much reduced in weight, having los;; 24 , pounds since 15th August. Well, Longstreet after cutting us off, got Burnside with the balance of our lit. tle army into'Knoxville and surrounded him, and while beseigiog him be sent General Wheeler with a force of eight thousand picked men to whip and capture us, and on the 24th November they made the attack, and after a fight ()fair or seven hours we repulsed them with a lose of 250 killed, wounded and prisoners. Our loss was one killed and fifteen wounded. On the 29th day of same - month the wholel rebel force attacked and tried to storm the works at Knoxville, but was, terribly re-' ulsed and defeated; with a loss of clearly ,one thousand killed and , wounded. On the 2nd Dec. they caight Serg't Ferguson of my regiment sod without any trial BY GEOL.GE H. BOKER es ; banged him as a spy. On the 4th we marched again toward London and seven miles from Kingston we attacked Longl, street's rear,'consisting of a division comb posed of Georgians, Texans, and Alaf bunions, and drove them before us nearly six miles, taking several prisoners. OU the next day our Brigade entered Louder' where we took a large quantity, of store: and 6 pieces of artillery. On the follotr l ing day we marched for Knoxville, where we arrived just in time to join Burnside; in his chase after Bongstreet, and aftei two weeks hard marching •we •gave him up, and fell back to a point called 'Blain'S Cross'Roads, Where we spent-a few days and Where we expected to stay during the.hard days of the winter. BUt in thi hope we were disappointed, beeausti , o the 16th Dee'r"the rebel General retarne on us, reinforced by the addition of Gen Jones' command,from Lee's army of thY. Potomao, and attacked us on the right} flank, and after about 4 hours,hard fight-1 ing the enemy was repulsed. The 4thi Corps was the only one engaged in tha day's fight. Our corps (the 23d) was id the centre and the 9th Corps was on our left. In this position the 9th and 23 Corps were ordered to fortify bydiggij rifle pits. Just when we had complete our Brigade was ordered totmarch on th morning ,of Christmas 'day, at daylight. We marched all day and reatimil the Efolston River, which' we 'crossed on a flatboat, and were pushed on without a single wagon, tent or blanket,, as we ex pected to engage the enemy at daylighti in the morning. About 2 o'clock, a. m. we got into position ten miles from th river. 'Our. position was in a corn-field, and about 4 o'clock it began to rain, and such mud and htinger I never saw mixed together. - At eight o'clock, we marched out to our position, my regiment had the Centre. In two hours the fight raged on our left ; the enemy were repulsed and left the field, but took with them one of our best guns—one of the we Indiana , Battery. ,On the 2Sth we moved from' that position on the Dandridge road to our present position, a distance of 6 miles ; skirmishing on the road; the enemy's pic kets falling back before us. As soon as we got into position we hivouileed end 'I commenced to dig a line of rifle pits ' which ' were finished the next morning. About 8 st. in. the enemy drove in our cavalry pickets and a desultory fight or rather Iskirmishing commenced about two miles in our front; our forces falling hack, and the rebels advancing in three columns or Ilines of battle, consistinp, of the forties of Generals Martin, Armstrong and Whee- 1 ler ; all under the command o Loogst Our Brigade was the only infantry within twelve miles, the balance bciog cavalry,' about 12,000 in all. It Would take me three hours to tell you what I saw and! what my regiment did on that day, suffice' it that the Gen'l commanding was pleased to say that "Col. Young and the 118th won the day by a timely charge by the bayonet and covered themselves with glory." ' Alas, Dear Robert, all fine, and glory in war is dearly bought; pet chased as it is with the noble life-bloood of brave men. 1 lost' one Captain and thirty-six brave men. A piece of shell cut ,away the crupper straps off• my saddle and slightly touched my horses back, a minie ball passed through my horses mane, and it seems to me that a thousand missies whittzed, shrieked anaang above my head, beneath my horse and on all sides of . me. Many other regiments suffered severely but not so much so as ours. When I Rae superintending the burial of my dead 1 noticed among the strange dead f_tathered . tigether for interment a line looking young cavalry officer, and upon inquiry learned that his name was Lieut. Pinkler, of Bellefonte, Pa., adju tant of the 9th or 15th Penn'a Cavalry. They•fought on our extreme right, and ho was the only one Ittlled of his regiment. Up to this period we have remained here; suffering a great deal' from cold, many of the men having no shoes, over coats or blankets, and the route through Cumberland Gap at this season is almost impassable for wagons. On the other hand it will be months before our army can repair the railroads to Nashville or MerOphis. We are also suffering for sup plies for the same reason, but manage to live on corn meal and a soanty supply of fresh meat. It is determined "by the powers that be" that the Army of the Ohio; as we are called, must carry on a vigorous winter campaign, therefore we can only grin and bear It. I think the Rebels oannot hold out another year, and if God spares. nth to the end, I.shall then sea yon all. . Col. YOUNG was dote a resident of Coudersport, and we have no doubt but that this narrative of. "Col. Tom's" expe rience during the trying time of the seige of Knoxville will be interest to litany. Accompanying tho .letteris an address to his regiment after the battle, and also the report of his Adjutant, but which we can not, publish for laek of room. A REAL FRIEND.—A real, true bean: ed Mend Is more rare than he should be. Why is it that selfishness predominat in the heart? that he only is considered a friend who has money and influence ! In the higher walks of life, how rarely is a true friend - fiund--one who acts as, he feels, and speak■ as he thinks. But among the humble and pure, you will et casionaliy find the germ pure friendship. Ye who have found a true friend, appre ciate .his, worth. It he labors•to benefit yocqsay nova word, perform not an act-, that send a thrill of pain to his or her bosom. If there is a crime that betrays a vile heart, it is the wounding of pure affection. Many a one has seen whin too late the error of his course. When the - grdro has concealed his hest friend, he felt—ah ! words wi!l not describe the feel ing. Ye who are surrounded by the kind andogood—the watchful and true-hearted --appreciate thaw we pray" you. Lore them in return for their kindness, and to the close cf life they will continue to guard and bless you. A SrNour.Alt TITING.—A paper befcri us claims to be "the only Democratic), paper in Allegheny county." One in Philadelphia claims to be "the only Dem ocratic organ" there. Is not this a tri un3Phant proof, that—in those larac coun ties--the great mass of the 'reading and buisness men are friendly to the Admin istration ? The 10,000 wen in Allegheny who voted for Woodward, support but one paper—and the same class who gave, 37,000 votes for Woodward in Philadel phia, support but one paper! The 3,300 Woodward men in Northumberland coun ty support one paper and the 2,600 Curtin men support four papers. It is thus, all over the land; the most intelligent, living, thriving, people,sustain the Administra tion, *bile Cvpperheadism thrives en ig norance and in dark corners , mostly. We see it stated" that .there are bon less than..fifty papers living in. Rebeldom. —Lewisburg Chronicle. tar The marriage of the armless color sergeant of a Massachusetts regiment, Plunkett, to Miss Nellie Lorrirnar, is going the rounds of the papers. The wed ding took place in Worcester, though the parties belong in Leicester. We have El o„ au additional rot a interest connec aed with the incident. lYliert he left for the wars, Plumkett was engaged to a Miss Lorrimer. Upon his return, he censid cre'd his helpless condition and offered a r elease to his petrothed, which was readily cceptcd. Iler sister ras so indignant t this that she said she would marry the 4 rave man herself if he was aarceable, - and pgreeable he was, and they married. The Hartford (Ct.) Post, on whose authority e relate this anecdote; says,'"Thanirs to % generosity of the brokers' boards of lie has met since his return, Plunkett, the hero, is in independent.circumstances ecuniarily. le - The Serenth.Pennsylvania cavalry i's highly spoken of by the LonisvilleJour rat, in the following language :—"Among the regiments in the Department of the (.
