HAAS, Publishers and. i'roprietors. READING, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1862. SEE FOURTH PAGE. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

EAn "Anxious Inquirer" is informed that we do not publish articles of the nature of the one sent. Tbere is but one course for a public Journal to pursue; and that is to have no "particular friends." Those same "particular officioumess and selfishness, hare done more to ruin public Journals than all other causes combined. "8ave us from (such) friends." Ioga We don't know the whereabouts of Lan daa. don't want anything to do with Landau. Landau is played out.

Bennki. lour writing is so bad that we are afraid to give it to any of our compositors beside, what could read of the artiole does not appear to hare any interest. Suffebbr. You are right. We shall always Suffer through newspaper tbieres or, at least, until we get a chance to make an example of one of them.

Jim. We do not condemn all partios. Well conducted afiairs have our approbation. Ton. We suspect you to be the man that owes them 40 cents.

"Mr. Isaac M. Sallade, has beoome "ye jol ly host," of the Saloon under the United States Hotel, and our citizens and strangers could not fall Into better hands. and obliging, studying the wants of his customers, he is bound to succeed in pleasing them. Give him a call and be satisfied.

Fast Driving Don't start this was not through the streets of the city but from Pepper man's Tavern, in Centre township, a distance of 13 miles, which was accomplished in the short space of one hour and five minutes and was done by Geo. Rcnshler and Geo. Winter, in a two horse buggy, yesterday the borses never breaking a trot. Bad Results must follow such exhibitions of temper as are frequent in Congress. There we find grave Senators insinuating charges of treason or fraud against each other wnilst in the Lower House we have the same charges rehashed and thrown about with a looseness which makes that grave body perfectly ridiculous Is it becoming In men entrusted with the destinies of a country like ours to amuse themselves in such a manner at such a time The Game Laws Sportsmen will do well to bear in mind that it is against the law to kill blue birds, swallows, robins, or any other insectiverous birds at any season.

The penalty for violating this law is $5 for every offence. i. Bs 1 Promoted Capt. Hoffeditj having been compelled to resign on account of ill health, Lieut. W.

A. Sands has been raised to his place. While we are sorry that Capt. Hoffedit's health obliged him to resign, we record the promotion of Capt. Sands with great satisfaction and pleasure.

Capt. Sands is a seldier, and the Secesh will find it out if they do not already know it, as his company belongs to the first Pennsylvania Cavalry. A Pennsylvania Rebel. The Lieut. O'Brien, captured by Banks and men, said to belong to the ubiquitous Ashby's CaTalry, is from Reading, Pa.

lie is a desperate character, having been a boatman for a number of years on the Schuylkill canal, and is well known about Fairmount." The above we take from the Inquirer. Can any one tell us who the aforesaid O'Brien is? Is there not some mistake? We hope for the credit of our city that there Gen. Scott's OrisioN of Generals MeCLEL iaw and Halleck. On tfce Saturday succeeding his return to his old home in Elizabeth, N. J.

the veteran Gen. Scott, in the course of an interesting interview, and speaking of Generals McClellan and IIalLeck, said "Tbere are two men who can be depended upon under all circumstances and in every emergency I mean Gen. McClellan and Gen. Halleck. Thero is no douLt they must take things as the meet them and they have great opposition to contend with but McClellan is, at this moment, at the very work his heart which will call forth all the abilities of his powerful mind that of trenching, engineering and besieging.

And in regard to Gen. Halleck, he will do his work like a soldier. There can be no fear of these two able soldiers doing any base or disloyal act They are honest to the'eore, and will never betray their country." Is the opinion of Gen. Scott worth anything with our "Sectional" friends; or is it necessary that the country should suffer because a General happens to be a native of the faithful Old Keystone? tj. rr ttt i Yhm "Situation.

The eitaatioo of at the present time, ia the moat critical in the history or'tbia War. While the preparation were going forward! of which we have reaped a few results, the restlessness of cuHponticlani was conspicuous in finding fault with the President, through bis agents; the effects showing themselves in numberless complaints and futile "InvestigatiBg Committees" resulting in as any sensible man might have expected, and as every sensible man did expect. Secretary Cameron was cried out of his office i distrust was engendered in the publio mind, and now the politicians may the 1 fly away with themare once more showing their heads and tends, where netting should be seen but the mailed band of the Warrior, directed by the President and his immediate advisers. Have our people not enough yet of the baneful effects of giving up everything to the insane hunt after office Have they not before tbeir eyes the spectacle of a horde of politicians in Rebellion because they were deprived of the spoils of office Is there any sensible man in the United States or elsewhere, who believes that we owe our present war and its troubles to any other cause than that of a fear on the part of Seoesh that the public crib would henceforth be closed against them Then why shall we allow this bydra to show its numerous heads amongst us again "Watch and pray," is a good motto for us just now watch these who are engaged in this suicidal business and if suicide be their aim, let their own throats be cut, they have no right to endanger ours and those of our children. Battle of redebicksbcrc A Berks County Company in the Field.

T. S. Richard's Cavalry attached to the Pennsylvania Cavalry. Regiment, were in the above battle and did good service, driving the rebels before them. The following is a list of the killed and wounded in Capt.

Richard's Company, as far as heard from: KILLED. Private Michael Purdy, Wilksbarre. Patrick Divine, Port Clinton. A WOUNDED. Corp.

Nathaniel Canfer, Lenhartsville shoulder. Private Thomas Norton, Pottsville seriously. Joel Black, Eerbysville leg. William Griffith, Reading arm. Thomas Martin, Pottsville shoulder.

Notwithstanding the extremely unpropitions character of the weather on Monday evening, the Odd Fellows' Hall was filled to overflowing on the occasion of the Concert and Ball of the Msennerchor.

Every piece that was performed, was applauded to the echo, until they came to the Sciickfals Bbueder, which brought the house down literally. The Association has added another laurel to its wreath, and we trust to hear from them more frequently. After the Concert the Ball. Of course all who remained enjoyed themselves. COURT PROCEEDING.

REPORTED BY 0. OSCAR WAQNER. Grant et at vs. Kline. This was an action ef ejectment, brought by plaintiffs to obtain the possession of a pieoe of land, situate in Muhlenberg which tbey claimed title.

The defendant showing that the title was in him, the plaintiffs took a nonsuit. Banks and Van Reed for piffs. F. L. Smith for defdt.

.7 Samuel et al vs. Eliia Seisboltz et al. This case is on trial. It ia a feigned issue to settle the question, whether the will of John Gingerich, late of Longswamp township deceased, is a valid will or not. 'f' Fort Pillow.

Where is Fort Pillow The papers make dreadful work in regard to the location of Fort Pillow. No two of them agree as to its location. The New York Tribune has a cut showing its fortifications and locality, and places it Immediately above Memphis, say one or two miles from the city. The Cincinnati Gazette locates it about twelve miles above Memphis, while the New York World says it is about forty miles above the city. It is astonishing what mistakes, as to geography, some of our papers do make, as' well as in regard to other matters connected with the war.

Fort Pillow is above Fort Randolph, some ten miles between that and Fulton while Fort Randolph is some sixty mites above Memphis, by the river. There is a Fort Pillow, of recent construction, just above Memphis, and also another one, or was so called, but a few miles below the Kentucky line, and back some distance from the river, but the Fort Pillow now being attacked by Com. Foote and Gen. Pope is, as above stated, some seventy miles above Memphis, and at the first of the Chickasaw bluffs. I a.

The Inquirer says': "Whoever and whatever may suffer from the Rebellion, American geography will not. We shall know not only every river course and mountain spur in the great field, but every line of railroad, and almost every hamlet station where an "accommodation train" stops Obscure localities will be dignified with great names in )' Nor is the great world of American romance to suffer. Every new movement, every spot occupied as we advance, has its story to tell, linking the present with the past in a truthful romance which savors of fiction. When the war is over our literature will teem with romances of its history. General Mitchel, whose rapid and correct strategy has been so widely chronicled, moves forward from Decatur to luka, and thus takes Corinth, already flanked, more decidedly in rear.

This town is situated on the Memphis and Charleston railroad, about twenty two miles from Corinth, and thus immediately threatens the Rebel communications by the Mobile and Ohio Old luka, an Indian chieftain friendly to the whites, here had his wigwams, and extended his rude but hearty kindnesses to our early pioneers into the "forest primeval." The name alone remains to perpetuate the story of bis person and deid. In the great movements around Corinth, the details of which we are forbidden to chronicle, the new notoriety of luka is likely to destroy the old story, unless some genius of prose fiction find enough in the legends of the old bunting ground, upon which to bate an American original and aboriginal romance." 4 FIREMAN'S UNION, A regular stated meeting of the Firemen's Union waa held on Monday evening last, at the Rainbow Engine House Hon 8. E. AaooHA, President, is the Chair. Seven companies wereTepresehted.

'fl'hOM companies net yet having made a report of the names of members who have entered the Army since the Rebellion broke out, were requested to do so by next Saturday. On motion of Mr. Keen, of the Rev enink, thai the Chairman of each delegation be constituted a committee to examine and report the condition and amount of hose in possession ef eaoh company. Mr. Wm.

the Liberty, offered the following Preamble and Resolutions, which, after being heartily endorsed, by Messrs. of the Neversink, Seidle of the Rainbow, Geiger, of the Liberty, Ancona, of the Reading, and others, ware unanimously adopted': Whereas, The Fire Department of this eity have often labored under great disadvan tages owing to a scarcity of hose; and the City Counoilq having made an appropriation to purchase hose in January last, Therefore, Resolved, That the Committee on Fire Department of the City Councils be respectfully requested to urge the City Councils to order immediate by a sufficient quantity of good hose te place the "Washington" and "Ringgold" Hose Companies in active service. The term of. the present offioers having expired, it was, on motion, unanimously resolved that the old offioers be renominated and re elected to. clamation.

"1 The President, after making a short and well timed address, retired; whereupon Mr. Wm. Keen, of the Neversink, was called to the Chair, and the old officers re elected by acclamation, as follows President S. E. Ancona, of Reading: Vice President Amos Seidel, Rainbow.

Secretary Wm. Geiger; Liberty. Assistant Seoretary H. L. Benson, Washington Treasurer Wm.

Levan, Isfoiv: 15 iT On motion, the Union adjonrned to meet at the Neversink'a House, on the third Mon day in May. Compliments from an English Source. A correspondent of the London Telegraph, writing at Washington on Maroh the Ilth, of the combat between the Monitor and the Merrimao, says But one hope it will, at least, not be premature to express. It is, that the English government will at onoe see the wisdom of attaching the best military or naval engineer in the country.and also the best royal artillerymen, to the British legation at Washington, with a view to observing and taking cognizance of all the many experiments of this highly ingenious poople in ordnance and shipbuilding. It is high time that our ignorant superciliousness and contemptuous indiffernce of America should cease.

More is to be learnt here than anywhere in the world and if we are such madmen as to shut our eyes to this fact, in the face of the grave eventualities which loom so palpably through the future, and to which it is hardly possible to allude in definite language, the blame be upon our own head i i The same writer, describing the forward movement of Gen. McClollan's army, says Such an imposing display of strength, so much of pomp, pride and circumstance of glorious war, has rarely been witnessed in any nation as was yesterday visible In Washington. From dawn till dewy eve, infantry, oavalry and artillery continued to pour in an unbroken stream across the Potomac and if I should say that old military men, who have seen camps and armies the world over, and watched French troops filing by in Paris for two hours together, confessed that they had never witnessed such a manifestation of power, I should convey a very imperfect and inadequate idea of the impression conveyed to all beholden. By far the most imposing arm in the service is the artillery. It is said that Gen.

McClellan ordered twenty batteries, in all one hundred and twenty guns, to cross the river. I am confident, from what I saw, that this is the lowest estimate of the field guns which yesterday moved to the front. On the field of Solferino Louis Napolion had one hundred and eighty guns in position bnt here, in connection with only a single army, one hundred and twenty guns, and of calibre far' superior te the French, were in motion exclusive of those which had crossed long before and it cannot be pretended that any nation on earth Is so strong in artillery at this moment as the Federal States, of America. Brass howitzers, Parrott guns, caissions trum brils ammunition wagons, forward in long and endless line. DECLARATION Of WAR Important to thb Pkoplk or Ksadino and Ticixitt.
