Since the return of„ the Nine months men,
the only regiment remainingin the field, which
may be properly .called a Frinklin County
regiment, is the One-hundred-and-fifty-eig,hth
Pennsylvania ItifirtillY. 'chir readers know

bravery. No rebel force has been allowed' to
encamp within many iiiiles'of Washington.
It is not probable they will' long (remain ,at

THE NEWS.
%Nis reported in Cincinnati, on 'Friday,
that Gen. Johnston is marching upon Memphis,
instead•of attempting to relieve PeMberton at
Vicksburg. The rumors came through divers
sources, and obtained some , credence.
,Advices from General Grant, to the 30th
and 31st of May, assure the,,Government that
the •siege is progressing favorably.° General
Sherman and' McPherson had advanced their
batteries of artillery to ,within :fifty yards of
the Rebel fortifications. Reinforcements were
reaching the Union artily, and General Grfy:it
was now in a position to carry on the reAuo t tiian . ,
of Vicksburg, and attend to any enemy :Nip .
might attack bis rear. The fall of this Rebel
Gibraltar is deemed near at hand.

THE PILOT :--Glllll
The New Orleans Era, of the 27th, contains
the following : Gen. Banks moved down the
Red river with his army, crossed to Bayou
Sara and thence to Port Hudson, where he
united his forces with those of General Augur.
The gunboat under Farragut were to move
upon the 24th. The mortar fleet opened upon
Port llsdson on the night of the 24th, silencing
several of the enemy's guns. Port Hudson is
now, therefore, closely besieged and hemmed
in, and the fall of this. stronghold will be
speedy, even should Gen Banks not order an
assault on tl..e works. Colonel Grierson is co
operating with General Banks. The garrison
at Port Hudson is estimated at 10,000 men—
they are scantily supplied with provisions.
The New Orleans Era, of the 28th says:—
We learn from an authentic source that our
army before Port Hodson is in a satisfactory
position, and everything promises fair for an
important andluccesaful close of , the campaign
against the rebel stronghold.

REMINISCENCES OF A SOLDIER.

GREENCASTLE, June 5, 1863.
•
Mr Editor :-.-We never will forget the oc
currences of a night last November—during
the short halt of the army at Spotted Tavern.
An impenetrable pall 'of mist and clouds over !
hung the earth. The scintillations of the
scattered camp-fires, dimmed by the etiviron
ing-fog, lent a weird appearance to the scene.
It was near the turning hour of night, all the
troops comfortably bunked were courting "Na
ture's sweet restorer—balmy sleep," 'and silence
and darkness reigned supreme. The measured
tread of the•Jonely sentinel, and his occasional
call , for the Sergeant of . the:-Guard., were the
'sole noises , Which disturbed the unwonted calm.
, Dick and Pete were both on duty to-night,
and it *as about •the hour• at which the ilatter
was to relieve the former. Pete was wakened
by the Corporal,end unaccompanied by him,
who thought so much 'labor useless, he started
for his post. When he approached, he called
Dick. but received no respoiise, and . the thick
darkness previnted him lioni 'discerning' any
object save the bulky pi:4rd houie. He entered
this , .dreaded tenement. . It was empty a
vacuum itself.. Where were the prisoners?—
Where was , ;Dick? What mystery Was this ?
He was about to call , the Corporal '
to be iiistruc
•ted, when a thought struck hini, it perhaps
would Ina be best. • He theO resumed his
search , for Dick, and found him leaning:against
the guard. house, sound asleep. Three•or four
stout ,kieks restored him.to consoiousuess.
Dick What's wrong ?
' Pete.--Every thing I should 'think. Where
are the prisoners'?`
- Dick .—Thunder and lightning, Pete ! You
don't say they have escaped ?
Pete.--They are not in the house.
Dick.—Ten thousand curses ou that vinegar!
I used some with my pork to day, and it made
tie` sleepy.
'Pete.—Ha ! ha! la! Dick, that's a &loci
one.
Dick.--Mhat's to be done?
Pete.-=How many were they ?
Dick.—Trod.
Pere'. , L—Does . the Captain kni:liv their here?
'Dick.—No.
•Pete.=Does the Sergeant of the Guard'?
' "
; Pete.L.A.re : their n'anies're ist l ered ?
Dick.—No.
Pete.—Nor the charges against theni, of
course "Y
'Pete.- 7 We must fix this matter some how,
Dick,-Or we'll 'be punished 'severely.
They sat dOwti tlien,, each one ruminating,
and` endeavoring to concoct some scheme by
wlii i eh they might escape the consequences of
Diek'siinseasonahle sluMber. Some thirtY Min
utes had been spent in deep cogitation, when
Dick'S countenance suddenly lit up with joy,
so much so that it ernited rays`there in the
glOom, and Pete theughtfiilly applying a lusi
fer, it ignited, and' he lit his pipe'. He thee
enqWired 'of .Dick the cause of thii marked
exhibition of such profonnd delight.
Dick.—We will arrest two niters and put
them in. It was dark last night, when the
prisoners came here, and the Sergeant never
recognized their color.
Tete.—So far so good. But where is the
ducument containing`` charges:against the
prisoners ? In that will be a statement of their
names and everything;'and nnless it canbe
dispensed with, the phit Will Mit succeed.
- poor "Diek's counteinince grew "dark
again, and it was not recognizable from the
thick gloom around it. In answer - to Pete's
question, h'e'snid:'
The sergeant of the guard has the
papers concerning the cursed prisoners. It
Was late when they came in, and I remember
of liitu saving that he wonld not disturb the
Captain tonight with them.
Pete.—Your plan is very good, Dick,. as far
as 'it gees. It only requites few additions to
make it entirely sm.:cessful, and.l think I have
them!
Dick.—What are they, Pete.?
Pete.—"lf ale can steal the qucuptent from,
the Sergeant Mid'destroy it, all will be well.
Diek.—doOd I. I'll do it.
Pete Well go immediately, so that we get
through with our business, beiore wy twc
hburs roll 'round.
Dick started off in baste. Pete sat down to
nwait his return. In less than ten minutes he .
saw sottiethinglike an irinis fatatts approaching.
Ile *as abouirunning away, when it hailed him
—"Hallo, Pete!! I've got it!"—it was Dick,
his countenance lit up again with joy..
Pete.—Did You succeed, 'Dick ?
Diek.—Yes. Here it is.
Pete `Good Now let us go and arrest the
dark les.
With fixed bayonets they both started off to
a neighboring tent, where the cooks were known
to bunk. Very uncerernoneously they entered
Several pricks with the bayonet awoke the
snoring blacks.
Pete.—Boys get up, come along.
Dark No: I.—Whor massa, whor?
Pete.—To the guard-house.
Dark No. 2.—We wor'nt 'toxicated massa.
No. Oh, massy'.
'Pete:—Come on I tell you, or 'la string
-yea,both-om-oar•bayemrtsn , °a'nd - lint't want
you to make the least noise;
Dark No. I.—Yes. We -wor'nt 'toxikated.
Pete.—Hush.
Soon the darkies were safe in the house.—
Luckily they had been. on a drunk the evening
before, and innocently they expected ,their,irn
prisonment was for this. Dick started to his
quarters and. Pete remained. on guard: Soon
.his two hours•expired; and-the tihird.relief clime
'round.
3rd Relief.--Are the prisoners all right ?
.'right, , and Pete' went 'to .hia
quarters. • '
In the morning all) was well. • Th - e - Sergeant
of the - . guard was down=cast. I suppose.
mysteriously, he - had lost 'some Valuable
document. But he was very "mum." The
darkies continued saying, "We wortnt 'taxi
kated, massa, we woent." By•their own lips
they were condemned, and charges of; drunk-
enness were confirmed,against them,•for which
they iv ere ; k ept, un d er; guard forty-eight hours.
No one, to this day ; but ."our.mess," and
now the readers, of the Pilot, knows. anything
to the contrary than-that the darkies were the
regular prisoners. . MILES:
