John Brown (search for this): article 1
ter, Va. May 28. It is pleasant to be able to say that I have no war news to send you. Our good old town is as serene to day as the blue May sky that bends above her. All apprehension of an early attack from the Yankees has disappeared. The passage of companies, battalions, and regiments through our streets has ceased. The only military spectacle that enlivens them is furnished by an occasional squad of Continentals--Company K, 4th Regiment, noted for their constant attendance upon John Brown, from the 18th of October, 1859, to the end of his valuable life, and now commanded by Capt. Avis, the jailor of that worthy,--on their way to mount guard over the Hospital, or the thirty-two pounders sent up from Richmond. A large number of these guns are still here, enough having been sent down, it is thought, for all necessary purposes. The Hospital was opened here ten days ago, most of its few inmates having been sent up from Harper's Ferry, and the rest contributed by the Mississipp

The towns along that road, are, politically speaking, so many globules of poison exuding from a branch of the upas. All voted one way — against the South. At Piedmont, in Hampshire, there was, it is said, not one vote for Secession. The interior of the county, however, where the people are Virginians, and always determined to be, neutralized this, and voted 401 majority for Secession. So with the gallant and patriotic mountain county of Hardy. Her majority was nearly as great, and diminished also by the vote of the more northerly precincts. That road, if Virginia is ever divided, will have done the work. It never should have been given the right of way. But for the logrolling interest, it would have been refused. Virginia would have had a through line of her own, and she would

Camp Sifter, in the neighborhood, would also refuse to enlist for a longer term than the original three months. In the same way, I venture the prediction, will vanish three fourths of the fifty Pennsylvania regiments. The same spirit in the troops of that State from which the Virginians suffered a hundred year's ago in Braddock's Expedition, will operate to our advantage now. We were then as unfortunate in their alliance as we are now fortunate in their enmity. Thanks to the policy of Seward and Blair, in monopolizing the telegraph and cutting off the mail Northward; the vote of Virginia last Thursday will not be known outside of her limits for weeks. For all that Kentucky or Missouri, not to mention the Northern States, can learn to the contrary, the Secessionists will still be a slim minority, illegally and violently forcing the Union majority into treason. This is to be regretted; but in other respects, the cessation of mail intercourse with the North will be beneficial to

rivers. The spacious and airy buildings of the musket factory furnish capital barracks, barring the brick floors which prevail in the lower stories. Our Southern allies take to the hills wonderfully, considering that numbers of them never saw an elevation of over forty feet in their lives, while many of them have only the Southern idea of a landscape, "a line and a pine." They look well, drill well, and don't appear to suffer from the dines. The banjo, the fiddle, and the pipe (not that of Pan,) constitute their main "distraction." The Pennsylvania troops, moreover, who have threaten us with attack, are actually disbanding. The Chambersburg Valley Spirit of two days ago, received here last evening, mentions the dispersal to their homes of all the troops (five companies) quartered in that place, and says that most of the much larger force embodied at Camp Sifter, in the neighborhood, would also refuse to enlist for a longer term than the original three months.
