Correspondence of the Press.
Letter tram the 234 Regiment.
Camp Gkoveb, I
Montgomery Co., Md., Dec. 21, 1862. J
“Things is movin'.” We are in the hurry
and bustle of breaking couip, and marching
for a new scene of duty—new in one respect,
yet familiar in most. The regiment is to be
divided into four or five portions, and deploy
ed to different points on the Potomac to guard
the frontier of Maryland from the incursions
of the still delimit bands of reliel guerillas
which infest upper Virginia. The regimental
headquarters will be at Muddy Branch, (Lock
22) with four companies; the other companies
will be distributed, and stationed at the Locks
on the canal from Lock 20 (Great Kails) to
Lock 24 at Seneca. Part of the regiineut will
be stationed on the ground of our former en
eampmeut at Lock 21.
This change produces quite a sensation, as
we had got pretty well established for spend
ing the winter here. We were beginning to
feel something like a respectable and orderly
community. For five weeks we have labored
in sunshine and rain to prepare for the inclem
ency of winter, “building up” our tents, lug
ging stones from a long distance for fireplaces,
erecting stables and a meeting bouse, organ
izing a Sunday school, holding temperance
meetings, Ac., Ac., until contentment and
peace reigned universal in our whole domain.
The whole brigade is moving up river. Its
headquarters will be at Boiesville, and the dif
• ferent regiments will be stationed on the river,
for picket duty in the same manner as ours.
During the past week, four deaths have oc
curred, viz: Gilman Pike of Sweden, t o. B,
Dec. 17th, of fever and paralysis of the left
side; J. K. Besse of Paris. Co. F, Dec. 17th;
Charles J. Twitcbell of Bethel, Co. B, Dec.
20th, of typhoid fever; and Faruhain L. Bean,
of Bethel, Co. BJDec. 20th^>1' fever and inflam
mation of the bowels. There are now about
200 sick.in hospital and in quarters, many with
measles. Most of the fever patients are re
covering, aud soon our regiment will receive
important accessions from the hospital, as we
Horace C. Little and 1st Lieut. E.
Mellen Wight, of Co. B, have resigned on ac
count of Hi health. Wintlirop H. Hall, late
Adjutant of this regiment, succeeds Capt. Lit
tle as commander of the company^nd assumed
command on breaking up camp 'this morning.
Thp nppFRsIf.r which pninnplInH fhowe nctoAm.
ed officers to retire from the service, is regret
ted by all with whom they have been asso
ciated, as their high character, correct deport
ment and active exertions in behalf of the
company had won them many friends. We
hope that rest and exemption from severe ex
posure will prove beueticial, and their health
may be recovered.
I read with much Interest, the reports in
the Press of the lectures, debates and other
public entertainments in your city during the
current season, especially the debates at the
Mechanics’ Library Halt Knowing so well
as I do, most of the gentlemen who take part
in those discussions, I relish keenly the point
ed and sarcastic personal allusions to each
other's political history in which they Indulge
while the important ijuestion of emancipation
Is before them. It is to be hoped that those
who oppose the act of the President will en
deavor to be reconciled to the event which. It
is generally hoped, will soon follow the an
nouncement of the Executive desire to free
the country from the vilest curse, that ever
rested upon any poitiou of the earth. No act
of any President from Washington to Lincoln,
was ever performed, so fraught with good-will
to mankind, and especially with blessings to
hb oppressed and long-suliering race, as the
emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lin
coln. Every person who is willing that hu
man freedom and all the blessings of republi
can liberty should be enjoyed by all meu, even
at the expense of mere selfish and transitory
interests, will uphold the government in its
position. Those who hate ty ranny, who dep
recate oppression in every form, will hail the
auspicious morning of freedom to the slave with
heartfelt gladness. The other class, such as
deem party success motv desirable than hon
est and humane administration of power, who
can hurl terrible anathemas at the President
and bis supporters, and are seemingly uncon
scious of anything very obnoxious in the insti
gators of rebellion, except because they suc
ceeded in smashing their party political idols,
—wicw iiuii'ucucvcn m eiiiaiiuip&uou puiian
thropjr will continue to carp and find fault and
oppose the government, even in its last ex
tremity.
Why is it? Because they are blind, not by
reason of looking at the truth by its own
reflected light, but that they have so long shut
^lieir eyes to facts, and their reasoning faculty
bus become inoperative and unserviceable in
proportion as their power of seeing things in
a true light has become impaired. The “Rights
of Man" is to them a meaningless dogma, un
less it is defined to be “the power of a lustful,
inhuman scoundrel to hold in subjection a few
hundred dollars worth of human flesh”; and
when you propose the expediency of negro
emancipation, they talk of “the rights of prop
erty,” and constitutional guarantees," and “the
rendition clause,” ami sound all the notes ol
their dolorous gamut, the compass of which is
so small that to any cultivated intellectual ear
it is not distinguishable from a monotone.
Their soug is always in praise of the beauty
and strength of republicanism, but it is that
kind wherein n0 limitations are or should be
placed upon tv lustful and domineering pas
sions of man. They like good offices in the ar
my und navy, and will be generally quiet sc
long as gold or govetnm(>nt scrip continue tt
augment their gains. The right of the black
mau to himself, his jabor, his family, and his
own intellect, are with these defamers, nowist
in proportion to that of the white man. Wher
w'li this moral obliquity of vision be cured'
Who is the “great physician” that cau removt
this cause of offence from the “right eyes” o
so many blind and misguided men ? The Pres
Went has certainly put in the knife with a
stout purpose, ami if there has been any doubt
heretofore in the minds of the opponents ol
emancipation, as to the cause of the rebellion,
they can “see it” plainly enough now, if they
will look.
The recent movements of the grand army
cause much apprehension all over the coun
try in regard to the speedy success of our
arms; but we have no reason to fear any con
siderable disaster, with a commander who
seems to possess in so eminent a degree the
r requisite qualities of a lighting general ns does
. Gen. Burnside. The worshippers of McC'lel
r lan will, of course, be ready enough to say that
1 they “knew it would la- so,” and w ill prophesy
evil in consequence of his removal.
But just now 1 hear news confirmatory of
rumors which have been current for n few
days past, of the resignation of Gen. Bum
side. This, if it proves true, will doubtless
[ dampen the ardor of our soldiers, and the pall
of jtloomy uncertainty will again hang over
us for a season. The world looks on amazed
’ at our stujiendous war establishment, nnd won
ders that, with our preponderating strength
■ and resources, the rebellion was not crushed
long ago. But few realize the immense and
determined hatred of the South for the Union
government. Its seeds were sown when the
i first slave was imported in 1(520. Strange co
incidence! Liberty and Slavery planted dur
ing the same year: and, after nearly two cen
turies and a half, each with red hands upon
the other's throat, struggling still for the mus
r tery. Lilierty will triumph. Slavery mdst
bite the dust. It may be long before we wit
ness its hist convulsive throe, but its heart is
pierced,'and with its downfall will tyranny the
world over receive a vital thrust. Popular
sovereignty—not the kind advocated by char
latans and slavocrats—is to lie the basis of
popular government; and no country can
long maintain an internal peaee, when the
law and the administration thereof are con
ducive to the oppression of the masses. It
never was so, and in the nature of things, it
l is impossible to be.
Subaltern.
Cyiteports from Gen. Burnside’s army say
that it leaked out while our men were engaged
in burying their dead, that the rebel officers in
command at Fredericksburg are to be court
martialed for allowing Gen. Burnside to re
treat, unmolested, across the Kappahannock.
It is represented that had they known and
taken advantage of our position, and shelled
Fredericksburg—the streets of which were
crammed with our soldiers, and the only means
of escape three narrow pontoon bridges—the
result would have been a wholesale panic, and
loss of life on our side a thousand-fold more
terrible than at Ball’s Blulf.

New York I.ifc Insurance Comp’y,
Established in 1845—Net Capital over
TWO MILLIONS AND A QUARTER.
THIS Company has paid since its organization to
Widows, Orphans and Creditors ot the Assured,
upwards of
Twelve Hundred Thousand Dollar**.
It is one of the Oldest, Safest and most Succesiful
Life Companies in the United States, and a fiords to
persons wishing to participate in the benefits of Life
; Insurance, advantages not excelled, and in some re*
i spccts not equalled by any other in this country.
Strict Economy—Care in its Risks, and Safe Invest
ments, characterize its management.
It is a purely mutual company, all its profits being
divided among its members annually.
In addition to all the various forms of IVholi
Life, Short Term, Endowment and Annuity
policies which it issues, we invite speetU attention to
a new feature in Life Insurance introduced by this
Company some two years since, viz: the issuing of
Life Policiei not subject to Forfeiture,
and upon which the premiums cease at the end often
years, whereby under any and all circumstances the
money paid cannot be lost, but the original design of
the assured be attained, either in whole or in part, in
exact proportion to the amount of premium paid.
No better evidence is needed of the prosperity and
success of this Companv than the fact showu by the
recently published official reports, viz: that
IT ISSUED A LARGER NUMBER OF LIFE
POLICIES DURING THE TEAR 1861, THAN
ANY OTHER COMPANY IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Manufactured by the
Barstow Stove Company,
Whose Castings staud unrivalled throughout New
England.
The senior partner of the Company, whose experi
ence of nearly a quarter of a century iu the Store
Manufacture, says—that by an
AIR TIGHT STOVE
we mean a store so perfectly fitted as to ptaoe the
draft of the store entirely within the coutrol of the ■
person using it; enabling him to preserve either a 1
wood or coal lire for many hours, by simply closing j
the draft slide, thus securing great economy in time, '
aud In cost of fuel, as well as avoiding the dust con
sequent upon rekiudiiug.
ROASTING AND BAKING.
Bat the novel—the peculiar feature of the MODEL
COOK—that which distinguishes it from all others—
is the addition of a Ventilated Koastini; Oven withia
the body of the stove and in front of the Are; so ar
rarged that it can boused separately for roasting, or
(by the removal of a simple plate/ in connection with
tne larger oven for baking.
Wherever these “tores have been used, they hare
given universal satisfaction.
