THE OLD PATRIOTS—A GRAND AND IN- SPIRING SIGHT, (Special Correspondence of The Pre-s. Harnisnena, Tune 24, 1883,
An incident occurred here to-day, that I wish to record. Looking out of the window, I eaw a amail company of mea marching to drum and fife up the street, nnd bearing? three colors; onc a small,
| worn, and tattered ell Msg, aod the others new and
free. As they approached nearer, I discpvered that they were very old mep, and my curlosity belng ¢x- cited, Iran out, snd followed them to the Oapitol, whither they were marchiog. And here ts what I learned:
‘They wero sixteen in all—members of the Soldiers’ Associstion of 1812 of Harrisburg. ‘The oldest wns reventy-eix and the youngest slxty-elght, Every man had served in the war of 1912, and all belonged to a regiment commanded by General Foster, who has Intely died, and who is remembered with respect aml nifection as one of the beat citizens -of thie county, They were reviewed by Gencral Scott at Baltimore, after he wat wounded, He rode up and down the rapka with his arm in a sling, The tat- tered fing was born by a Pennsylvanis regiment) at the battle of Trenton, in 1777, and has been cherish- ed in Harrleburg ever since that time, These vote rans marched up to the Governor's room and tendered their services for the emergency. They wished to be put behind entrenchments, bat, if any other and harder eervice wae required of them, they would cheerfully sttemptit, In a few appropriate words they addressed the Governor, and he accepted theyn ‘The only {vor they asked was to be armed with the old Mintdock muskets, such as they weed to carry when they were young.
It was # grand spd inspiring sight!—those old men, scarcely hoping to live through the war, thelr locks white with the frosts of many winters, their frames bowed by age and long toll In the journeg of life, marched 6 briskly and accurately, to the drum apd fife, a8 any of thelr grandeous could. They seemed almost carried back to the olden time, 80 insplriting was the occasion, When they came out of the Governor's room they marched, accord- log to the old fasblon, in single file. They were halted on the green. It was curious to modern eare to hear the order of the captain—ao ditferent fron our tactles, It was: By sections of two, mareh;" inatead of "file right” or left," It was right}! of ‘left wheel ;" Instesd of the sharp, short, per- emptory “front,” it was “left face,” So they marched down In the town, carrying the old tactics ofthe Reyolution with them. ‘They kept thelr placea, and kept step and obeyed orders with 0 pre cioion that showed that the drill they bad gone through In those stirring times had gone not merely to the ear, butto the heart, Whorever they passed squad of eoliters they were Joudly cheere¢—'Three cheers {or the veterans of 1812," nnd such lusty shouts pu pplit the heavens you never heard, They were observed by every one, snd eome would ask who they were. The bowed forma, the gray heads, and the small torn and decayed ensign, told the whole story What an example to the young men of Harrisburg | Lcannot put the point more forcibly than by quo- ting # rather {rreverentexpreesion of a young Penn sylyaula soldier, who, after his two years’ service had expired, voluntecred again at this crisis, He paid, ns he surveyed them drawn up in Moc," It in rather hard on you old cocks to have to come out. This neichborhood haseeot sixfy men—and here are tlxtecn old men, with one foot to the grave, ready {to volunteer.” Comment ts unneces sary.
T took pains to Inquire their names, and, for cus rlosity, thelr politics, ‘There are thirteen Republi- cana, deecended from all pnrtles—Federalist, Whig, nod Domocratic—aod three Demoorate. I hope I shall not treapass on your space by giving thelr names. ‘They ought to bo written in letters of gold. They ought to be poated on every corner of Harris burg.
The names are as follows: O, Carson, enptatn ; Andrew Kroure, Hentenaut—(were in the battle of Lundy's Lave, and all through Scott's campaign)— J, R Boyd, Wm. Bostwick, George Heiney, John Helsley, D. Harris, (secretary of the associatinn ;) §. Holman, A Sturgeon, D, J, Krause, W. P. Brady, George MeKnight, S. G. Cunkle, George Prince, Tohn Shannon, George J. Helsley, Jacob Kuba,
These old herocs will go into the rifle-pits, and fight a of yore, for liberty and the Union, What they mean they eay ; nud their earnestness ts proven by thelr seking for old filat-lock muskets, such os they were used to, Let the young men beware, or their grandstres will set thea an example they will Dluah not to haye forestalled.

THE ATTACK ON WINCHESTER.
A FRESH AND GRAPHIC ACOOUNT. spondence of The Press ) Bioopy Rwy, Pa., June 22) 1863.
Pormit me,-sir, if you. plesge, to lay before your readers n true account of the recent battles aronnd Winchester, Va. I havo carefully watched the ac- counte: written by different correspondents thus far, and am utterly surprieed nt the vaguences of nome, the falsity of othere, and the Imperfection of all. ‘The battles of Winohiet ter were of no small moment, deciding aa they did the fate of the Great Valley, a8 well as the fate of Western Virginia, Pennsylvania aud Maryland, Gould Winebester and neighboring towns have alill been held fa spite of th desperate courage and efforts of the cnemy, Martinaburg and Cumberiond, Pennaylvanin and Maryland, the rail- roads, canals, and public buildings would have been likewiee secure. How Immeneo the stakes we were playing for at Winchester! Then itis important ag matter of public interest and blstorio record that the true history of the whole matter be published. ‘The okirmishing in frontof our works opened the ball on Friday evening, June 12th, Saturday morn- ing it was resumed, and kept up hotly all day, the enemy etill showing themselves, in emall force only, iu a sort of aemictrele in front. A part of our forces were then at Berryville, and were signaled to retura to Winchester Saturday morning, They succeeded in reaching us Inte Saturday evening. By this time fighting had commenced at Bunker Hill, eleven milen north-enst of Wincheater, on the Martinsburg road. Hero Major W. T. Morris was commanding detach- mente from the 116th Ohlo Y. I., 57th Pennsylvania, and ist New York Cavalry, There, at about five o'clock Saturday ovening, tho scouts came in and re ported the advance of 4 large force of rebels. Our force there was sccurely lodged in s large brick church, ani were Jess than 200 strong. But they Im- mediately marched forth to meet the enemy, aud mot bim shortly in auch numbora as they never ox- pected.
Instend of finding {t to be only the advanco guard of the enemy, ne they at Hirst supposed, thoy came
1on n force of over two thousand infantry and ea valry together, The fight immediately commenced, and our handful of heroes fought with a atubborn: energy anil determination unsurpassed in any actioft of Ike magnitude, Judge of the numbers of the re- spective parties, when it Ix actually the case that Company A, of the 16th O. V. I, lost 47 men in killed, wounded snd miosing within half an hour's time. The logs of gallant Company I, of the samo regiment, was hardly toes, The whole party fought well, au their losses prove. ‘Three commilesloned of-
‘and over one hundred men were left on the fleld, when the shattered remnants were forced to retreat, They were soon eafe within the brick cbureh, and from port-holes they bad made through the walle of the sscred edifice, they poured death and diamay into the rank of the enemy, who had crowded up, and striven In vain to gain odmlecion. The dora were etfeotually barricaded, Every vok ley from within sent some wretches quivering to their dread account, while the robel bullets pat- tered an harmlcesly against the stgoug walls of the holy eltadol as the drops of rain that come down al- lently wt night upon the homestead roof. Bat death lurked around them, The night waa eetting in. Milroy had left them to shiftfor themselves, Morn- {ng would bring destruction. Exeape seemed im- possible, What was to be done? The coolness and courage of Major Morria enved them. When the firing had ceascd, in the atilluesa and darknces of the mlduignt hour, the brave old major led his men out ns silently asa fugeral train, and brought them safely to Winchester on Sunday morning. I hve seen no parallel for this action nnd retrent tn the history of the whple war, and yet, euch ta the par- tiality or Ignorance of some, not n slagle word haa begpro been written concerning these almost Spar- tan heroes,
By Sunday morning the forces had arzlved from Berryville, Bunker Hill, and fatormediate polsta, ‘They had all to fight their way through to Winches- ter. The dark woous in the direction of Stranaburg and Front Royal were turning gray with the hontea of rebela who were pouring in upon us, Whatever officers may have thought, the men were convineed by this time, of two thinge—namely, that we were surroupied, and that the foree wan overwhelming, Before this, eyory onc eald, “it wan only Jenkins or Imboden; but when we comeldered all theee thinga, ‘nd had the additional evidence of the regiments which ekirmished with the enemy Stinday forenoon, we had no doubt that the brave, desperate legions of Stonewall Jnckeon were again in the valley. De- tortera had come in as carly as Friday, and reported that even then we wero skirmishing with the ad- vance guard of a rebel corps numbering over 30,000 Gen, Milroy ought to have known this. Who can say that he bad any right to reet atlefled with pynr- tial information concerning 4 forcegutticient to aver whelm and destroy him! I care not what others say; I know our effective force was less than 8,000, Why, we had only ten regimoata of infantry, and rome of these the mercet fragments, OL thecavalry, here or cleewhere, I have aothing to aay. That some of them, especially the lst New York, did their duty, I willnot deny, but that they descrve the ful tome praise that has been so coploualy lavished upon them, I most emphatically deny. ‘
On Sunday, ft will be remembered that the enemy neyer fired & singlo cannon during the forenoon, nnd not even tillJste in the afternoon, Every one was in suspense all day. That this dread silence meant something, all deeply felt, but what wae tho atrategy progressing none seemed able to discover. One sharp, discerning glance then would have done morqparm to the enemy than the fire of a whole brigade, One sharp eye then would haye been of moro value than & battery,- But alas for us! no such oye waa there #o to glance for ne.

The 122d, 122d, and 110th, all took a large share, Indecd, the principal part in the fighting of Saturday and Sunday, ‘These noble regiments mancuvred from morning till night, during two sueccasive days, driving tf cnemy at the point of the bayonet out of thelr rifle-pits, and from behind etone-feacea, It Was ascloge hand-to-hand work as could beeometimes skirmigher to. skirmisher, and at othera two whole ‘brigades driving like two mad streams sogethor, Ohio Jost severely in men in all the fighta in front, but ehe gained new lustre aod renown for her al- ready glorious history, Sunday evening, at 43; o’elock, the “main fort” had ‘four heavy alege guns working effectunlly upon the cacmy wherever he dared to show himaclf, Tho “atar fort? hada bat. tery of smaller but well managed guns ; while away over to the right and weat the “ regular battery” was stationed, firiog oconsionsily aa opportunity was stlorded, Thia fort was supported by Company “0,” of the 116th O, Y. L, and the roth O. Y. I. Below the fort, west, and beyond agavine, waas Wood, and in that lurked « eeoret danger of which no onc yet cven drenmed. The fing was floating proudly above the “main fort;” the brave and dnuntlees form of Milroy could now be seen resting lifty feet up on the tlag-pole—an exhibition of cool- ness nnd courage unsurpassed in the annals of all history. ‘There, too, hAd he beea for two dase, Away down the valley in front heavy slirmlshing was going on.

In ‘tho meantime, while the ekirmfehers were nobly endeavoring to sustain themesives tn thelr position, General Weitzel’s co- lumn moved up ns rapidly as possible, and made a series of desperate assaults on tho enems’aworke, which, for bravery and daring, the history of the war | ean hardly furnish parallel!

This is the Republio’s hour of anxiety. The war has moved and shifted over motn- tains and rivers, until now it has conyerged upon the borders of a free State, Tt is @ niatter of general information that Robert Y. Lee and his followers—to the number of many thousands of men—haye get forth on the task of invading P sylvan, They aro now in Northern Maryland, and the field of Antietam is at this time in all probability ‘Their ad- vance guard is in Pennsylvania, and the Denutifal yalley of the Cumberland is now channeled and tgrn by the heel of an in- yading army, ‘There are calm men who might speculate upon this, amd give us many reasons why the rebels intend # policy of intimidation or pillage, or the fame of haying overrun free homes. Those who profess to understand the art of war may tell us that out of si) these moyements no danger may come. I do not care to read events as a mathematician or an engineer; and therefore, 1 must say that the-time has come when the puople of the North must rise. up from msps and books, and look at these events as grievous dangers. We cannot regard the men of the South as we would regard belli- gerent powers in other parts of the world.

LETTER FROM FREDERICK.
‘Tho Preen EDERIOK O1TY, June 27, 1853 A. RETROSPEOY
The beautiful little mountain elty of Frederick has bhi excitement enough for one week, On St- turdny, the 20th inetant, just aa the twilight ehadot lengthened in the weat, a band of twenty-tive rebel eayalry galloped through the main street of the town, Though thelr coming had been looked for With fearful forebodings on the part of thore citt- zens who are here denominated ' uncaaditfonal Union rien,” ati they were unprepared to eco them #0 and many of them, thinking this handful of mien In gray clothes to be the forerunners of a large army, fled hastily to Baltimore, where they object of wondcr to all who had opportuatty of lie~ toning to their tales of frightful import.
Now that we have thousands of our brave zoldiers around snd about us, we can taken retrospective view of the eventa which Nave tranoptred in Frede- rick City sfoce last Sunday ; we esa compare, in t light of safety, the true facts of to-day with the & rumors of the daya beforo, Ono acted sa n stimulant op Ircitated nervea; theother proves to bo a gentle narcotic, Last Saturday,whea saveral of our algasl corpa rode haatily into town, and anid they had been driven down the Hagerstown road, the publio feeling Was onc of consternation; but, a8 tarca grow amid tho finest wheat, there live in this place, which le deotdedly loyal, many Disunfonists. When, after 6 plelock P. M,, fourof our cavalrymen were hotly puraucd by 8 seore of rebels, who kept up # running fre, several Secessiontets waved thelr haniker chiefs, and one large Confederate lag was thrown from an open window.
WELL-DRESSED REBE
Lhisd tho fortune (which eame nearbelag 8 mis- fortune) of scoing quite a number of theco rebela, They wero all well-dregged, appenred well-fed, aud certainly were wellmounted. They were all_much better in appearance than any of the rebelg Ihave ‘zcen hetotofore, snd certainly in much supetior con ition to those who made their unwelcome appear fanco here last September. At 9 o'clock they re- tired, leaving the city in its former quictude, Sun- day they again appeared and lounged about the ho- tels when nbout? P. MT, our cavalry charged then on South Market street snd drove them from the place in confusion, :
EXODUS AND QUIET.
Since Tueeday the town ba been perfectly quiet When I returned Thursday ovening, everything had seaumed a Sunday aepect—many of tho stores closed, dwellings vacant, no tratno; pedestrians few In number, but wild in manner, and undecided to gait, Not a warlike note to be heard, nor # martial coat to be aven, under the molst and dropping clouds which reeembled a roaked boart fence, Friday came, but there was no dawn—only rain, rain, and the eombre appearance of the town was unchanged
“All things Were hashed, na Nature's solfley dead.”
STAHL'S OAVALRY.
Noon came, and Gen. Stahl’s cavalry trotted up through the city. The transition from torpor to triumph was suddea, ‘Those who were crestfallen before, are now hopeful and jubilant, Ihavealready Uceoribed the enthusiasm of their reception, but did not mention that the Scecssion flage, which wero lung from certain windows, were politely requested to bo handed to tho provost guatd, whereupon the red, white, and red colors were preseuted to the pe- titioners without the usual appropriate speech, Byery little kindness that could be shown the wea- red soldiers, every comfort that could be offered tho jaded horees, waa freely glven by the good peo- plo of Frederick, When the firat dozen of men apr peared, a Indy came from her door, and insisted that All should recoive from her hands some refreshment wa glace of milk, a pleco of bread and butter.
