VI. The Battle of Wllllemeburg. 1- CaMI'Skar WiUiAMSBUBe, Va., is MayS. 1803. ( My Dear Wivk:— I wrote you a few lhl> raortflng to let you know I am alive and well after the bailie. We were all tired out when we went into the ft. ht for it atormed all night and the mud wa* half knee deep In the road. We bad 00' round# of Cartridge# in our besides the 40 we always carry in our cartridge bo*. A good of our men had dropped out along the road being unable to keep up with us on account of having the dysentery. When we left the road and tiled into the woods, Ike Hall and myself were ahead of the Company. We wailed for the regiment to come up; I will tell you farWe formed a line of battle -and the rd)! was called, only 32 in our Company answering to their names. The whole regiment then took oS their knapsacks the woods. Ilien our company were sent out as skirmishers. We had gone but a short distance when we came acrois a large body of Rebels hid behind the trees which they bad cut down on par. pose. As soon as we saw them wc fired and jumped behind the Decs antl re- ' loaded our guns and were going t > fire again when the Rebels showed the Stars gave tbo command to cease firing, which we did. The Rebels said lo us "What Regiment is that ? " anil wc told them ! the 7'lh N. J., they answering all right, we are fiom Massachusetts, and then styeral of our men. We i>t«racd their firalhen picked tin our vAninded and 1 fell back a little wSy and took our place \ in Hoc of battle with the Kcgimmt- Wc , lay flat on our stomachs while they fired 1 volley after volley into us and we serv. ' ing thein the same way. The bullets Uew round us like hail. Our old smooth bore muskets got so stopped up with j powder we hnd to put our ramrods ' against a tree and d.ive the cartridge in 1 that way. They had us surrounded al- j ' right, and we drove them back each i ' wounded In our company and one misa. j. Ing. Our first I.ieut. Thompson, was J ] oner, the Rebels took him to Williamswith a great many other wounded men and left them there. They took bis sword and pistol but did not get his | money. I must give all our officers in ] the Brigade great praise for they stood ' by us and encouraged us. One Brigade tlen. Patterson, had his horse shot under ! him. Nearly all ourofilcos were wound- ' ed and aomc of thom killed. The fight- ! Ing stopped at dark and we were soaking wet, had nothing to eat, and still storming. We could not find our knaparound us, but managed to get a fire af. | ter a wntlo in the woods, and spent the most wretched night I ever endured In 1 iny life, but dnylight came al lasL Wc J expecie l to have another day's .hard ' fighting hut toon the Rood news came that the enemy had retreated. 1 was ' fortunst- enough as to get a couple of j hard tack for my breakfast. We then wintTo look for our knapsacks and found them, but when '.he Rcbs drove '* back they took'hem and all our and clothes leaving us the ' empty Knapsack. When wc got to that ' part of the woods where wc had the ' hardest fighting, we found our dead 1 and the dead Rebels lying side by ' side. Some were in the act of loading ' thefr muskets when they were shot, and had their ramrods -..clutched jn their ; Up lo this time we did not who hid been killed from oar ' company, bat went a little farther and found the bodies of Townscnd Ireland, ' John Mccray aijd two Philadelphia boys belonging to our company. All of them ' had been robbed. I think Townscnd ' $18 with him ; he had sent $10 to ' his mother and was going to Send the ' rest as soon aa he received an answer to , his letter, but poor fellow, he will never get an answer. It Is reported that we are to advance, but I don't think we will go just yet till we get • little rested. We are now In the rear, the rest of tho army lias gone on after the retreating Rebels. 1 hope It will be sometime before we get a lolher fight. But yon can tell the folks that the Jersey boys will not disgrace their Stale. I was not frightened once. As we were marching along the road, I told you ^ke llall and myself were ahead of the Regiment, a shot from a Rebel cannon struck a poor fellow close by us and took one of his legs oil and an arm off of another one, and their screams made us all feel bad indeed, but after we got into the fight It seemed 10 me that 1 was Just as cool as though firing blank cartridges on drill. . They are sending the wounded to Philadelphia. I don't know whether | Steve Bennett will come. I do hope I *n,l nrav that the war will noon he over I ind over I

> for It has made enough sorrowful hearts r now. 1 want you to see Mrs. Ireland and tell her we burled Townscnd and I 1 John Mecrey, and to-morrow will mark' I their graves. Ike Hall is well and is a , writing beside me to his mother. r Good Btk, axi> God Bums Yon. John Reeves. . 1 - 1 Scri Oner's Magazine for March opens withtbe firel ot two articles on "The , Campaign of Waterloo," by Mr. JohnC. Ropes, whose notable papers on the por. f traits of Napoleon, in this Magazine, 7 will be remembered. The author has ] made a careful and elaborate study ol / ' , 1 !«• battle of Waterloo, and these articles . 1 ' 1 inh a< c a great deal of valuable original Initio am, as well as a most accurate 1 s a. -nma y of the established facts with , regard to the movement of the opposing ( ■ armies during the campaign. The first , , paper deals especially with the battle ot * 1. Ligny, and carries the story forward Ina lo the beat of the campaign. The illusV l rations are from drawings -recently , . made by Mr. W. T. Bmedley, who has f visited the field of Waterloo, especially n commissioned by the Magazine for this !- purpose; also from drawings by Zog- , banm and from rare old prints la the I ooUeeUOBOf Mr. Ropes.

Sketh of Methodism \ 8' ,s In September, 1838, camp meeting was in progress on the old ground near Gov abon, under thfrvh rectum of Revs. S|>ear ' and Crouch. Reuben I.tidlam. John j c Townsend. James McGuire, Elijah Mil5 ler and £antucl Townscnd aeling as ' c managers. Towkrd the "close of this 1 I. year it was thought to be expedient to 1 r build a church at Goshen for the better s accommodation of the society that had | - B now grown to considerable size and j ' g could no longer find sufficient room in 1 1 . this determination 4 public meeting was ' r called to meet in the old school bouse i tit Goshen, on February 27, 1839, for the ; b election of a hoard of trustees to carry 1 •- into effect the building of said church. 1 At this meeting — the Rev. J. F. Crouch 1 c presided, James Maguire acting as score, r tary— the following persons were elected 1 ; as trustees, William Garrison. Reuben ' s Ludlarn, James Maguire, Enoa Tomlln. 1 » Christopher Ludlarn, Jeremiah Weatli- ' t erby and Thomas Wible. On March 2d, 1 s the above named trustees met al the ' 1 store of James Maguire and organized 1 e by electing Christopher Ludlarn. preal- ' • dent; Jatncs Maguire, secretary, ami 1 I William Gurrisnu. treasurer.

The first , preaching by Methodists within the , i named William Smith about Hie , . 1812 or a little before. He preached I in a bonne situated between Goshen and , t Dyera Creek, owned by John Hand, and 1 , occupied by Elijah Miller. This Douse , r is still standing and it now occupied by. • ! Levi Warmer, colored. Revs. Bennett. : I Lummis and Budd also preached there j , abaut that time, and a class was formed 1 . (these doings on the part of the Metho- < , dills csMLi great deal of talk through. out the J^HBorliood) and a Tegular apr .1 , pointmenr made for preaching once In 1 I weeks, upon a wrc't day evening , , and the class held after preaching. Elijah , , Miller was appointed leader, of this the | first Methodist class formed within the , , bounds of this charge. The following 1 j Is a list of .the members— Elijah Miller 1 . and wife, Anthony Smith and wife, Jas. I Corson und lister, Sallic Billings, Jeremiah Billings aud wife, Jhomas Doug- [ lass, Deborah Hand, afterward Garrison, , and Aaron Post. Some years late Elijah 1 I Miller moved away and this class was 1 disbanded, the members joining elsc- , where. Some years after this we learn 1 " that there was occasional preaching In a > ' house on the old bay shore road near 1 Goshen, then occupied by Zethew Hewitt, also in tho house of Jcdidab | Tomlln in Goshen, where John Townsend. an able and efficient local preacher t frequently preached. This house Is still standing and is now occnplod by Capt. t Samuel Hearon. George Lcgg was perhaps the first class leader at Goshen. ' The Methodists at Goshen secured a | more permanent and suitable place of worship, by the erection of a building , intended partly for that purpose, but J known as '.he school house. The deed ! conveying tbe^ot of ground upon which ' this house was built hears date May 18. 1 820. and waaconveyed byElizabeth Tomlln, Ualhorn Tomlln and Mary, his wife, II Reuben Tomlln and Eliza liis wife, and s Jedldah Tomlin to Anthony Smith, Geo. Legg and William Garrison. Hatborn ,r Tomlln took the contract for building c the house at $240. lue nousc ai C--I" ,

We cannot get the date when the first 1 class was formed at Dyers ICreek, but I perhaps it was about 1829. as Nathan ] who went welt In 1849, had been class leader for 20 years. The first I record of the Sabbath school at Goahen 1 bears date June 2J, 1838, when the fol- j officers were elected, viz. | Provident. Knot Tomlln; Supt., John I and Clark Nottingham; so' J cretary and treasurer, James Megulre. | Male teach era, Thomas Wible, Cnaries i George Weatlierby and Isaac 1 Conard. Female teachers.

Union War Songs and Confederate Officers. The reading of Mr.Brandcr Matthews' "Songs of the War," in the August num. ber of 7"*« Century, vividly recall* to i mind an incident of my own experience I of the effect of army song* Upon men ! member it, after twenty-two years A day or two after Lee's surrender in i April. 1885.

Aficr introductions [ and the usual interchange of civilities, ( songs, until at last the general said: t "Excuse me. gentlemen, you sing do- 1 llghlfully, hut what we want to hear ia ( your army songs." Then wc gave them - (he army song with auction, the "Battle 1 Hymn of the Republic." "John Brown's t Roily." '.We're Coming, Father Abra- , "Tramp, Tramp.

Then turning to the , general he said: 1 shall never forget . the first time 1 hiard Rally Round the Flag.' 'T wns a nasty night during the 'Seven Days' Fight.' and if I rcmcmbet when Just before 'laps.' aomc fellow on the other side struck up that song and others joined in the chorus until it secin ed to me the whole Yankee army was singing.

I tell that song sounded" to me like the my boots; and though I 'vc tried to do my duly, it has been an up-hill fight with me ever since that night. The little company of Union singers auiLConfederate auditors, after a pleasant and interesting interchange of stories af army experiences, thenscparated. and as the general shook hands at parthe said to me: " Well, the time may come when we can all sing the 'Star, spangled Banner' again."

The public Is too well Informed as to the danger from alum baking powders to need any caution against using them, i It is, nevertheless, a fact that many of our most prudent and careful housekeepers arc, without knowing it, using these deleterious articles daily, and from them preparing for their famliea food which, were they aware of Its nature, tlicy would not offer lo a beggcr. Baking • powders made from burnt alum cost . leas than four cents a pound. When these can be worked off m place of the Royal Baking Powder, and sold for forty or fifty centa a pound, there are many . manufacturers and dealers sufficiently unscrupulous to do it. A favorite method of telling these poi- ' sonous alum baking powders is by p ar ' ing them in an an rmptv Royal Baking ; Powder can and weighingthcm out in 1 small quantities when the Royal Baking ■ Powder is called for by customers. The grocer. If questioned, claims that he 1 buys in large packages at a lower rate. . and Is thuwablc to sell below the price . of the goods In the small cans. All baking powders sold In tills way are entitled ' 10 suspicion. Analyses of many of them ' have been made with a view to a prosc- . cuUon, and in all cases they have been , found largely adulterated and generally made from poisonous burnt alum.

1 Por the Wit*. Lincoln University. The colored pcop'e at Cape May should ^ highly elated at tho vast improvement being made by the negro. In such short 1 time their progress has not been paral1 in history. It is true, that it was ■ held in Uic latter part of the eighteenth | century, that the negro was merely an 1 j instnimcnt without brains; without the 1 capacity of acquiring, and Uierefore was ' created for the purpose of helping Uic j white man work out his salvation. But ' : false. The negro ?>as shown himself to . required by the white man, and that he t the same power to climb to eminence. . All he demanded was an opportunity, and so being no longer held under the of oppression, he now is playing a conspicuous part in the political, social and religions institutions of this country. The colored people at Cape May have made little progress, hut they are not alone, because ignorance and prejudice rcicna supreme among the masses of the white and colored. in the war of *clt reliance and the promo lion of education. Tlic white people judge the progress of the colored by these. Suppose wc should judge tho of the white people by those at May, we would conclude that they have not made «o very much, so you conclude that the colored have not made ntuch either. Note if you please the 1 great improvement in educational pur. suits since '83. When they had neither 1 money, or means to obtain : them. We have to day in Howard University.

My old soldier was a humbug like the rest; his ragged boots were, in , (lie stage phrase. p:opcrties; whole books were given him again and again, | and always gladly accepted; and the ! usual, with toes exposed. His boots , were his method; they were tho man's , trade; without his. bouts lie would have , starved; he did not live by charity, but . by appealing to a gross taste In the public. which lores the limvligbt on the nc- , tor's face, and the toes out of the beggar's boot*. There Is a true poverty, which no one sees; a false and merely; mimetic poverty, which usurps Its place [ and dress, and lives, and above all drinks, . on the fruits of the usurpation. The true poverty does not go into the streets . the banker may* rest assured, be has never put a penny in its hand. The self-respecting poor beg from each other; never from the rich. To live in the frock-coated ranks e.f life, to hear cant- , ing scenes of gratitude reliearted for . two-pence, a man might suppose that giving was a thing gone out of fashion; r yet it goes forward on a scale so great . as to fill me with surprise. In the houses , of the working class, all day long there 1 will be a foot upon the stair; all day * long there will be a knocking "at the [ doors; beggars come, beggars go, withI out stint, hardly with intermission, from 1 morning till night; and meanwhile, in * the same city and but a few streets off I the castles of the rich stand unsummon- \ ed. Get the tale of any honest tramp, you will find it was always the poor who Helped him; get the truth from any , workman who has met misfortunes, it was always next door that he would go : for help, or only a lib such exceptions u as are said to prove a rule; look at the course of the mimetic beggar, it Is c through the poor quarters that he trials - his passage, showing his bandages to II every window.' piercing even to the at- " lies with his nasal song. Here is a re11 markahle state of things in our Christian >• commonwealths, tbst tho poor only ' should be asked to give.— fcrOntr't for c March.
