Extract Of letter from private in the North
Carolina Regiment Of Volunteers, 10 the Rev.
J. 4. MMannin, of this county, dated
San Francisco, April 10, ls47.
"Our members have been sadly thinned
by disease. Both the Edgecombe COM
pauies muster about enough men TO mount
guard. The company belo"g to musiers
about twenty-eight men out of eighty'hve.
This is disheartening: men dread sickness
more than death. We arrived safe at the
Brasos, after passage of nineteen days,
during which we encountered very severe
weather. Brasos is a low sandy barren
country, situated at the mouth OF the Rio
Grande. and is a general Depot for sup
plies. From Brasos we went to Mata'
moras, that is. the first Battalion under
command Of Major Stokes; the second
under Col. Paine, had not arrived when
we left Brasos. As we went To Matamo-

thought Of paradise in misery. We had
a view of Point Isabel, and the battle field

From the North Carolina Regiment

Extract 81 letter from an OiIicer in the Regi.
ment Of North Carolina Volunteers, 10 iricnd
in this place, dated
Camargo. April 9Th, 1877.
Nix DEAR EDWIN: Having nothing par
licnlar 10 engage my attention This morn
ing. ] have determined 10 spend a few mo.
menis in holding "swe,t converse" with
an absent friend. We arrived al this place
on Saturday morning, after Ealiguing
march Of eight days from Maiamoras, lrav-
ing under our protection train Of sixty
Eve government wagons. Our camp is
just out Of the town upon the banks Of the
81. John. We are obliged TO drink the
river wafer, as there a'e no springs OF
wells in this part Of The country, and il is
not made more palatabIe by seeing the
number of dead cattle and mules on its
banks. Companies A. u, G, ID and +,
&c the North Carolina Regiment, are al
This place. and the remainder is, we hear,
in Maiamoras, or on IFS way 10 this place.
Whether We shall, when the Regiment is
concentrated a. this place, be left here or
sent 10 join Gen. Taylor, seems to be a
matter Of much doubt. rather think that
part, at least, of the Regiment will be
sent Oh 10 Monterey. One thing is Ger.
tain, if we are left at this place Cor The
summer one half of the Regiment will die.
The heat even now is almost intolerable,
the weather being more sultry than it is
with us in August. A large majority oI
the men have been sick with dysentery
the most fatal disease of this country
though they are generally now recover
ing. Our Major is now quite sick will
fever. We have ins
heard from Col. Paine, with the remain.
der Of the Regiment. lie will arrive al
this place tomorrow, and we shall soon
know now whether we shall be stationed
at this place or not.
You have no doubt heard ere this Of
the glorious victory won by old Rough
and Ready al Buena Vista, with his army
of Volunteers against Santa Anna in per-
son. The Mexicans at this place were
so certain that the old Hero would be
beaten tina. they all left the town and hid
themselves in the chaPparal. so fearful
were they Of falling into the hands of their
own cnun.rymen. They made applica'
ton TO the officer in command here for
permission to retire from the town. stat
ing that Santa Anna would slay them il
he found them holding any communica'
ton with the Americans. They are now
anxious 10 return, but we will not permit
them, as they are all but false friends at
best, with smile upon the face and a
bowie-knife in the heart. IL Gen. Fay
lor had been worsted in the late battle
there would have been a general rising
against us, fer they had already begun to
make preparations.
