LETTER FROM THE FOURTH REGI.
MENT.
CAMP IIOLBRooK,

ilNuNs 10 INFORM Nuuf ftautrb OF our condition
aud prospects. There have been new cases
of illness in camp, bu. all yield speedily to
treatment, and 1t is hoped will not perma-
nently injure the health of the regiment
There is still much complaint of the food
both as to quantity and quality, but | do not
feel at liberty TO particnlarze, and perhaps do
wrong to mention any OF our camp troubles.
Still. Justice seems to demand something be.
sides silence as to our fare here; and Tor one
] believe the State will d. Us Justice To
say nothing OF those actu,ted by sordd mo-
iives, our fare is enough 90 ccol the warmest
patriotism. The State owes il 10 itself to re-.
move all such causes Of dissatisfaction.
Our company were favored by our Captain
to-day with tho privilege of a bath in the
Connecticut. About fifty aysiled themselves
Of the privilege. others were detained on du.
ty, who would gladly have gone. 1t was re-
lrcshing, almost celebrating, to be released
from the dusty camp, roam over the fields and
enjoy the cooling bath u is a privilege ac-

and would have been disbursed tonight, but
for the delay in being mustered in, and the
darkness and rain Of the evening The gem
eral order this evening is To march tomorrow,
and there seems little doubt but that we shall
be ON oar way within twenty-lour hours
The order was greeted with loud cheers after
breaking ranks, although some are grumbhng
in fear they are not to be paid off, and loudly
protest tney will not leave the State without
their pay. But these complaints are as shall
low as groundless. So also are those con-
corning too strict discipline, &c. Some of MS

to endure hardships. A little experience will

our new mode Of life. S.
