ditto. So you see, Mr.. EDITOR, we have
no commissioned officer, save the ones
Col. Smith may deem proper to put
over us, and at present we are com
manded by Lieut. Powell, of company
c., a worthy young man of some mill
tary experience. lie is very well liked
by the boys, aud gets along finely.
We have but few sick members of
the company with us, having sent near
ly all Of that class tc Cincinnati and
Gallipols. Elwood c. Brown, ofSmyr-
ia, was one who was not sick at the
time we sent the others off; but he has
been very low with Typhoid fever ever
since we came to this camp, up to last
night, when he was released from the
cares Of earth and the tumults of battle,
by death. He was conveyed homeward
by Esq. Smith, Of his neighborhood,
sent here by Elwood's mother. He
was. one of our best young men, and
was universally beloved. 81.
Ezekiel Mcbride is also sick, or rath-
er disabled, but will not give up He
is not confined TO the hospital-his dis
ease being a rupture.
Jack Burns is well aud fourishing.-
Also jim Upton. Crumley is not very
well, but only is troubledlike Job, with
boils. Ben Turner is fat lnot ragged)
and saucy. Soldering agrees with
Ben. ,.z.-r.. .....-...

at work settling up the lamented Laiz-
ure's books. John @. Bayless is well,
and has been throughout.
John M. Bryan, l believe, does not
get stch. | Inever hear him complain.
John G. Ray, Of Moorefeld, is well,
and is by the way, with Jack Burns,
the life of our company. They have
their quaint way of doing things, that
makes fun, a great deSideratum in camp.
{. John Copeland has gone, to Cincinna-
IT,. Isaac Chandler is also inCincnnati.
He will never be able to do service.
