We ran down again with steam on, to get in the rear of the passenger train, and the other engine followed at a little distance. As our engine neared the points, just beyond the log-huts I have mentioned, several figures rose from their concealment. W ithout warning of any kind they deliberately fired at the engines as they passed. Surprise, more than fear, kept us for a moment inactive. But Abel quickly recovered himself. Shouting to me to lie down, lie discharged two barrels at the nearest of our assailants. With a groan, he fell dead in his tracks.

On arriving at Bunkum city we told our tale, to which the mangled body of the filibuster bore additional testimony, and after a detention of rather more than an hour the passengers were despatched on their journey. Upon our return to headquarters we were specially thanked, and otherwise more substantially rewarded.

Some of the passengers, having got jrithin range, had by this time commenced a pretty hot fire against the " filibusters," who now found themselves in a fix, as Abel, reversing his engine, returned to the attack.

No. 68 SOUTH MAIN St., PITTSTON, PA, The day, so mild, is Heaven's own child, With Earth and Ocean reconciled ;— Tho airs I feel around me steal Are murmuring to tho murmuring keel. A cavalry camp immediately after reville, says Gen. Custer in his "Life ou the Plains," always presents an animated and most interesting scene. As soon as the rolls are called and the reports of absentees made to headquarters, the men of the companies, with the exception of the cooks, are employed in the care of the horses. The latter are fed, and while eating are thoroughly groomed by the men, under the superintendence of their officers. Nearly an hdur is devoted to this important duty. In the meanwhile the company cooks, ten to each company, and the officers' servants, are busily engaged preparing breakfast, so that within a few minutes after the horses have received proper attention breakfast is ready, and being very simple it requires but little time to dispose of it. Immediately after breakfast the first bugle call indicative of the march is the " General," and is the signal for the tents to be taken down and everything packed in readiness for moving. A few minutes later this is followed by the bugler at headquarters sounding "Boots and saddles," when horses are saddled up and the wagon tram put in readiness for "pulling out." Five minntes later " To horse " is sounded, and the men of each company lead their horses into line, each trooper standing at the head of his horse. At the words "Prepare to mount," from the commanding officer, each trooper places his left foot in the stirrup ; and at the command '• Mount," every man rises in his stirrup and places himself in his saddlo, the whole command presenting the appearance to the eye of a huge machine propelled by one jtower. Woe betide the unfortunate who through carelessness or inattention fails to place himself in the saddle simultaneously with his companions. If he is not for tius oflence against military rule deprived of the services of his horse during the succeeding half day's march, he escapes luckily. As soon as the command is mounted the " Advance" is sounded, and „tlie troops, usually in , " column of fours," move out. The company leading the advance odc day march in rear the following day. This successive changing gives each company an opportunity to march by regular turn in advance. Our average daily march, when not in immediate pursuit of the enemy, was about twenty-five miles. Upon reaching camp in the evening the horses were cared for as in the morning, opportunities being given them to graze before dark. Pickets were posted and every precaution adopted to guard against a surprise. In the past twenty years, the farmers' boy can often do the work of ten ordinary men OF PITTSTON.

Soon after my arrival in the States, I succeeded in obtaining a situation as fireman on one of the trunk lines. After a time I became associated with Abel Storer, who had the reputation of a first-class engine-driver, though he was, to my taste, a littU too reckless; and when " in liquor" nothing daunted him. From Abel, I heard many tales respecting the encounters he had had with " white Injuns," as he denominated certain filibustering gentlemen, who had a playful habit of disguising themselves as Indians, and carrying off any species of ammunition contained in the wagons. At times, indeed, I believe they did not hesitate to commit the most dreadful outrages under the guise of the warpaint.Sewing Machine Line.

"Hurrah," I cried, or rather tried to cry, for my throat was so parched that I could scarcely utter a sound, and, regardless ot risk, was about to join Abel, when a shrill noise arose beneath us, and the other engine shot into the darkness ahead of us. With an oath J shut off the steam, (further progress I knew was impossible with the heated machinery,) and shonted to Abel. As soon as I could pull up I jumped off and ran to the front. x\bel had disappeared! Gracious heaven! had lie fallen when the engines touched ? I began to fear the worst, and to call wildly in the vain hope that he might'hear, but the whisper of the wind was the only reply. It was impossible that he could have gained the footplate of the other locomotive and oscaped instant death; had he fallen the engine would have killed him. Thus I argued, and alter a time mechanically filled a pipe, and took the Limp behind to oil the cranks. Looking at my watch, I found we had been running thirty minutes, and at such a pace I knew the np mail was not far distant, and that Landerville was only a few miles oft So I ran gently ahead again, and had not proceeded far when a sudden "lift" of the engine nearly threw me down.

Young Spiggles, being the son of a millionaire, and a gohlen light of the Crcesus, enjoyed the freedom of the club saloons, and having been able to find no masquerade dress quite up to his fancy, he had concluded to appear in his usual attire; and likewise his Aramanthea Sophia, daughter of old Barnacle Bullion, hung upon his arm in her ordinary evening dress of chignon, diamonds and luce.

One morning, about two months after my having beea appointed " fireman," we got orders to take a train down to Landerville. Abel was, accordingly, in great hopes of shouting some "Injuns," and provided himself with a quantity of ammunition for his six-shooter. , I, more sceptical, neglected this precaution. We started, however, having a quantity ot specie in boxes, some valuable stores, and a mixed cargo of " Hotions" in our charge. Wo had received instructions to shunt at Bunkum city for a faster train with passengers ; and then (if it had not previously run into us) to assist it up the steep incline at that place, our train being subsequently helped up by another locomotive.

Students' Duels.—Recently, says a correspondent writing from Heidelberg, Germany, I saw four duels. Each pair fought for a quarter of an hour, unless the doctor declared one of them too badly hurt to fight it out for that length of time, when, of course, the opposite party was declared victor. When a student got cut, ffie students all walked up and examined it in the most unconcerned manner possible. director wrote down in his book how long a cut it was, and also how deep it was (the longer and deeper it was the more the sufferer was thought of) ; and the doctor washed it out and sswed it up, and the duel continued, unless the student that was cut was unable to do so, when he was declared to be the loser ; and the next duel went on in the same manner. All this reminded me very much of a barber-sliop, with the barber calling out " Next! " when his chair is empty. I can assure you it is disgusting, and I went away with more contempt for the Heidelberg Corps Students and their duels than ever.

MANUFACTUEjas OT M e arrived at Bunkum, siding in safety about five o'clock, and hearing nothing ot the following train, replenished the engine, and then proceeded for some food for ourselves. We pitched npon a small "store," where we managed to procure food, and some of the most fiery stuff (miscalled whisky) that I ever tasted. Abel drank it greedily, however, while I devoted myself to the food. We were on the -eve of departure as two rough-looking fellows entered, and demanded "liquor," " taking stock" of us as they swaggered about. Seeing that Abel was becoming more intoxicated, and recollecting that the passenger train must be due, I attempted to ramove- him, but one of the strangers, stepping forward, requested us to "liquor up" before we started. Abe grunted a drunken assent, and 1, not daring to refuse, sat down while the "-driuk" was being prepared. Dnring the eontOction of the " reviver," Abel kept wandering aimlessly about, swaying recklessly against the and when the glass was at length presented for my acceptance,: he lurched heavily agaiiist the stranger. Crash went the tnmbler ftpon the floor, while, amid a volley of curses, I dragged the offender from the house, and managed to regain the engine unmolested. Anticipating we should be followed, I kept Abel's revolver in readiness, but after a time I noticed two figures proceeding in the direction of some log huts, which lay some distance down the line upon the left. As the strangers disappeared over the brow of the hill, I turned my attention to Abel. FEED, MEAL, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, AND CAPS, Ac., 4c. MAIN STREET, P1TTSTON, PENN'A.

The central attraction of Baden is, o course, the Conversationshaus ; so called, I presume, because no one is expected to speak there except in a whisper. Why a gambling hall should be styled a conversation-house is beyond conjecture. The name must be the result of some Teutonic vagary in which irony was uppermost. The Conversationshaus contains a number of drawing, dining, reading, concert, and gaming rooms, all elaborately gilded and frescoed and luxuriously furnished—immense mirrors on the walls reflecting every form .and face. The gambling saloons, opening into each other, usually have six rouletto and rouge-et-noir (trente-et-quarante) tables, at which all the gambling is done. They are open from an early hour of the morning to midnight, but the playing does not begin until eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and does not end until eleven in the evening. The place is as public as Broadway or City Hall Park. Every body goes in and goes out, bets or bets not, just as he pleases. There is no one to question or interrupt, to invite or discourage, any respectably dressed or decently behaving stranger, who from curiosity, inclination, or any other motive, may see fit to enter. If he carry a cane or umbrella, or wish to leave his hat—hats are not worn at the shr\ne of the fickla goddess—he will find in a sort of vestibule very polite lackeys, in livery much resembling a court costume, who will benignautly inform him that it is contrary to the rules of the Direction to take either of those art icles, or go covered,-into the charmed presence of the challengers of fortune. These bedizened servants are stationed in all the saloons, ready and anxious to do any one's bidding, with the expectation, of course, of receiving certain douoeurs for their trouble. They are the most obedient and obsequious of underlings ; they will do any thing the mysterious Direction allows -and it is far from narrow on most subjects—in the promptest and most satisfactory manner. The Direction pays a license of about 875,000 a year, and defrays, moreover, all the expenses of the establishment, amounting to as much more—which shows that the business is at least profitable,— ffar- fit's Magazint.

After a pause, a whistl# long, though very faint, broke the stillness. I stood ready to run if occasion demanded it, when again the whistle rose this time loud and clear, and after dying away into a long, wailing sound, suddenly ended in three sharp, quick notes.

We ran down again with steam on, to get in the rear of the passenger train, and the other engine followed at a little distance. As our engine neared the points, just beyond the log-huts I have mentioned, several figures rose from their concealment. W ithout warning of any kind they deliberately fired at the engines as they passed. Surprise, more than fear, kept us for a moment inactive. But Abel quickly recovered himself.

No. 68 SOUTH MAIN St., PITTSTON, PA, The day, so mild, is Heaven's own child, With Earth and Ocean reconciled ;— Tho airs I feel around me steal Are murmuring to tho murmuring keel. A cavalry camp immediately after reville, says Gen. Custer in his "Life ou the Plains," always presents an animated and most interesting scene. As soon as the rolls are called and the reports of absentees made to headquarters, the men of the companies, with the exception of the cooks, are employed in the care of the horses. The latter are fed, and while eating are thoroughly groomed by the men, under the superintendence of their officers. Nearly an hdur is devoted to this important duty. In the meanwhile the company cooks, ten to each company, and the officers' servants, are busily engaged preparing breakfast, so that within a few minutes after the horses have received proper attention breakfast is ready, and being very simple it requires but little time to dispose of it. Immediately after breakfast the first bugle call indicative of the march is the " General," and is the signal for the tents to be taken down and everything packed in readiness for moving. A few minutes later this is followed by the bugler at headquarters sounding "Boots and saddles," when horses are saddled up and the wagon tram put in readiness for "pulling out." Five minntes later " To horse " is sounded, and the men of each company lead their horses into line, each trooper standing at the head of his horse. At the words "Prepare to mount," from the commanding officer, each trooper places his left foot in the stirrup ; and at the command '• Mount," every man rises in his stirrup and places himself in his saddlo, the whole command presenting the appearance to the eye of a huge machine propelled by one jtower. Woe betide the unfortunate who through carelessness or inattention fails to place himself in the saddle simultaneously with his companions. If he is not for tius oflence against military rule deprived of the services of his horse during the succeeding half day's march, he escapes luckily. As soon as the command is mounted the " Advance" is sounded, and „tlie troops, usually in , " column of fours," move out. The company leading the advance odc day march in rear the following day. This successive changing gives each company an opportunity to march by regular turn in advance. Our average daily march, when not in immediate pursuit of the enemy, was about twenty-five miles. Upon reaching camp in the evening the horses were cared for as in the morning, opportunities being given them to graze before dark. Pickets were posted and every precaution adopted to guard against a surprise. In the past twenty years, the farmers' boy can often do the work of ten ordinary men OF PITTSTON.

Soon after my arrival in the States, I succeeded in obtaining a situation as fireman on one of the trunk lines. After a time I became associated with Abel Storer, who had the reputation of a first-class engine-driver, though he was, to my taste, a littU too reckless; and when " in liquor" nothing daunted him. From Abel, I heard many tales respecting the encounters he had had with " white Injuns," as he denominated certain filibustering gentlemen, who had a playful habit of disguising themselves as Indians, and carrying off any species of ammunition contained in the wagons. At times, indeed, I believe they did not hesitate to commit the most dreadful outrages under the guise of the warpaint.Sewing Machine Line.

"Hurrah," I cried, or rather tried to cry, for my throat was so parched that I could scarcely utter a sound, and, regardless ot risk, was about to join Abel, when a shrill noise arose beneath us, and the other engine shot into the darkness ahead of us. With an oath J shut off the steam, (further progress I knew was impossible with the heated machinery,) and shonted to Abel. As soon as I could pull up I jumped off and ran to the front. x\bel had disappeared! Gracious heaven! had lie fallen when the engines touched ? I began to fear the worst, and to call wildly in the vain hope that he might'hear, but the whisper of the wind was the only reply. It was impossible that he could have gained the footplate of the other locomotive and oscaped instant death; had he fallen the engine would have killed him. Thus I argued, and alter a time mechanically filled a pipe, and took the Limp behind to oil the cranks. Looking at my watch, I found we had been running thirty minutes, and at such a pace I knew the np mail was not far distant, and that Landerville was only a few miles oft So I ran gently ahead again, and had not proceeded far when a sudden "lift" of the engine nearly threw me down.

Young Spiggles, being the son of a millionaire, and a gohlen light of the Crcesus, enjoyed the freedom of the club saloons, and having been able to find no masquerade dress quite up to his fancy, he had concluded to appear in his usual attire; and likewise his Aramanthea Sophia, daughter of old Barnacle Bullion, hung upon his arm in her ordinary evening dress of chignon, diamonds and luce.

Students' Duels.—Recently, says a correspondent writing from Heidelberg, Germany, I saw four duels. Each pair fought for a quarter of an hour, unless the doctor declared one of them too badly hurt to fight it out for that length of time, when, of course, the opposite party was declared victor. When a student got cut, ffie students all walked up and examined it in the most unconcerned manner possible. director wrote down in his book how long a cut it was, and also how deep it was (the longer and deeper it was the more the sufferer was thought of) ; and the doctor washed it out and sswed it up, and the duel continued, unless the student that was cut was unable to do so, when he was declared to be the loser ; and the next duel went on in the same manner. All this reminded me very much of a barber-sliop, with the barber calling out " Next! " when his chair is empty. I can assure you it is disgusting, and I went away with more contempt for the Heidelberg Corps Students and their duels than ever.

We pitched npon a small "store," where we managed to procure food, and some of the most fiery stuff (miscalled whisky) that I ever tasted. Abel drank it greedily, however, while I devoted myself to the food. We were on the -eve of departure as two rough-looking fellows entered, and demanded "liquor," " taking stock" of us as they swaggered about. Seeing that Abel was becoming more intoxicated, and recollecting that the passenger train must be due, I attempted to ramove- him, but one of the strangers, stepping forward, requested us to "liquor up" before we started. Abe grunted a drunken assent, and 1, not daring to refuse, sat down while the "-driuk" was being prepared. Dnring the eontOction of the " reviver," Abel kept wandering aimlessly about, swaying recklessly against the and when the glass was at length presented for my acceptance,: he lurched heavily agaiiist the stranger. Crash went the tnmbler ftpon the floor, while, amid a volley of curses, I dragged the offender from the house, and managed to regain the engine unmolested. Anticipating we should be followed, I kept Abel's revolver in readiness, but after a time I noticed two figures proceeding in the direction of some log huts, which lay some distance down the line upon the left.

The central attraction of Baden is, o course, the Conversationshaus ; so called, I presume, because no one is expected to speak there except in a whisper. Why a gambling hall should be styled a conversation-house is beyond conjecture. The name must be the result of some Teutonic vagary in which irony was uppermost. The Conversationshaus contains a number of drawing, dining, reading, concert, and gaming rooms, all elaborately gilded and frescoed and luxuriously furnished—immense mirrors on the walls reflecting every form .and face. The gambling saloons, opening into each other, usually have six rouletto and rouge-et-noir (trente-et-quarante) tables, at which all the gambling is done. They are open from an early hour of the morning to midnight, but the playing does not begin until eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and does not end until eleven in the evening. The place is as public as Broadway or City Hall Park. Every body goes in and goes out, bets or bets not, just as he pleases. There is no one to question or interrupt, to invite or discourage, any respectably dressed or decently behaving stranger, who from curiosity, inclination, or any other motive, may see fit to enter. If he carry a cane or umbrella, or wish to leave his hat—hats are not worn at the shr\ne of the fickla goddess—he will find in a sort of vestibule very polite lackeys, in livery much resembling a court costume, who will benignautly inform him that it is contrary to the rules of the Direction to take either of those art icles, or go covered,-into the charmed presence of the challengers of fortune. These bedizened servants are stationed in all the saloons, ready and anxious to do any one's bidding, with the expectation, of course, of receiving certain douoeurs for their trouble. They are the most obedient and obsequious of underlings ; they will do any thing the mysterious Direction allows -and it is far from narrow on most subjects—in the promptest and most satisfactory manner. The Direction pays a license of about 875,000 a year, and defrays, moreover, all the expenses of the establishment, amounting to as much more—which shows that the business is at least profitable,— ffar- fit's Magazint.

I stood ready to run if occasion demanded it, when again the whistle rose this time loud and clear, and after dying away into a long, wailing sound, suddenly ended in three sharp, quick notes.
