CAMP JACKSON, COLUMBUS, q
Sunday Eve, Nav 1861.


FRIEND CAsKEY.-We arrived here in safety
on the day of our departure from Millenburg
We are all in the best of spirits and feel per-
fectly at home. Of course we do not fare so
well, nor do we have such warm quarters as at
home, but We came here expecting to bear with
the prirations and hardships incident to sol :
dier's life, hence whatever occurs we bear it
in q good natured way, with, perhaps. little
swearing by those less patient than that good
old man mentioned in the pious soldiers CON-
panion. There are about or 1000 soldiers in
camp; 1000 come in last night. 1 believe ttey
are from Camp Taylor. They are fine looking
fellows, but have been faring very poorly. Our
feed is not so good as it should be. considering
the enormous price the Government pays those
who have taken the contract of boarding US. /
have been told that $4,20 week is payed for
boarding each solder. / think if the money
was given to US, we could manage to get better
fare for half the money. To day we made an
attack upon the provisions sent us by the good
citizens of Millersburg. of course the ladies'
were the prime movers in sending them. God
bless them. Long may they wave; and should
an opportunity ever occur granting us the priv
ilege of going forth to fight our enemies, it shall
not be said that we spared oui blood in iree-
doms holy cause, and that we are a favored pack
of towards. But must close this for the rain
this letter printed, but perhaps you can gather
enough from it to let your subscribers know
how we are getting along. We would like
very much TO have paper sent to US OCCASION
ally, for it always does soldier good to hear
from home. We had short sermon in Camp
to-day, but did not last long on account of the
rain. Very business place here-cannot hear
what person is talking about 10 feet from
you. am getting used to it and enjoy it first
rate. None of us have been sick yet. Some
of the boys show splendid speed when the
Guards get after them. No more at present.
Yours, truly, r--.,l
A VOLUNTEER.
N. B.-Expest to leave here in few days
do not know our place Of destipation-perhaps
we will be sent to western Virginia.

The Great Eastern made the entire pass
age in nine days and thirteen hours. She
encountered tremendous gale on the 5th,
and rolled heavily. No seas went over her.
In the House Of Lords, on the 29th, Lord
Woodhouse stated, in reply to a question,
that the Government recognized 70 right
or obligation to interfere in the conflict un-
happily commenced in America, either di-
Dramatically or otherwise. .,..
The London press, except the Times,
sympathize warmly with tho loyal States,
and anticipates an early triumph for the
Government.
The Times fears serious conflicts if the
North is determined to force obedience.
Affairs at Warsaw are unchanged.
Rentes closed at Paris on the 3Oth, at 6sf
75c., 10 centimes higher than the previous
day.

@The Rev. Henry A. Wise, jr., who has
been preaching the gospel according to Slave
ry in an Episcopal church, in Philadelphia for
the Last two years, has been compelled to evac-
uate. He made it too hot to hold him. He is
the son of John Browns hangman. He went
into BARRIERS shop to be shaved, sat down and
was oderated on the the extent of one side of
his face. He then remarked. in reference to
the crisis, that zone Virginian is worth three
Northerners," adding the hope that the latter
would be fogged. The barber took f e at this
insulting remark, laid down his razor and turp-
ed the fellow into the street; half shaved and
in his shirt sleeves. Here one of his congre-
cation met him, got a carriage, took him home,
and advised him to keep quiet. But this is a
thing the Wise's were not born to. However,
he changed his lodgings by way of safety, and
did not preach the next day. Some addition
ally offensive language SO insensed even his
clerical friends, that they deemed it unsafe for
him to re main longer, and he went off between
two days. In contrast with this. is the exam
pie of Rev.. DIR. Dueachet. ractor of st. Ste
phen's, man of advanced years and vastly
rich, who has offered to go as a chaplainof any
regiment that may need his service. But that

Virginian, ole all patriotism, the other all trea-

themselves as Union men, are
