| DEAR s1R:-As you perceive we are
still at the above place, and, although it
is quite cold and we are still minus over
coats, yet we are enjoying soldiers life
hugely. The life OF so lIier is gay,
as well as hard life to endure, yet the
boys OF the 8lst are "grit to the back
bone" for the Constitution and the laws,
and are willing to put up with hardships
in order to keep the good old flag of '16
from being trailed in the dust, They
think they would be degenerate sons in
deed, if they should refuse to undergo
privations and suffering to preserve and
perpetuate the glorious Temple of Liber
ty erected by the patriot fathers of the
revolution. Life is sweet, bat not so
sweet but what every member Of the reg
iment will sell it dearly in behalf of his
country Many have families, yet they
have sacrificed home and its comforts and
all that is dear to them on earth; God
bless their patriot souls.
Capt. f yier and Lieut.. Agerter Erred

are all O. K. and so is J. M. Post, Sec
end Lieutenant. III was not afraid OF
making our worthy captain feel proud,
would say he has all the qualities of an
efficient company officer. He is active,
warm heartt d, and cheerful, and willing
to share all the hardships of his comma j
His men regard him with equal affection
and respect; by the way he IS engaged in
a iegsl case at present Some OF the men
OF the 10th Missouri regiment were arres-
ted for passing counterfeit gold coin, and
Capt. Tyler is attorney for one Of the par
ties arraigned.

evening at dress parade, and had an op
porsunity to see and hear them discourse
some excellent music. Our regiment will
be ready for active servIce in one. week
and when completed it will be one of the
finest and most. effective regiments in the
service. We will be armed with the En-
field rifle. We expect marching orders
] soon. perhaps to accompany the expedI.
tion down the Mississippi. You may
bet your life, (if you will allow the ex.
pression) that you will hear good repor
; from our regiment, especially the compa
ny from Wyandot. They are all cage,
for combat with ''Secesh." They viii
