CAMP NEvIN, HARDIN COUNTY, !
KENTUCKY, Nov, 7, 1861.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: The Fifteenth
Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, of which the
three Belmont companies, commanded by
Captains Glover, Holloway and Askew form
part, is yet at this camp, as is the whole
advance of McCsok's division. All reports
that our troops have, so far, made any ad-
vance beyond this point, arc premature. -
Our Cavalry, daily scour the country be-
tween this place and Green River, but have
not TO this date, come in contact with any
considerable force of the Rebels. It is now
reported, and credited in our camp, that
Buckncr has withdrawn all his forces to
Bowling Green, and that he will await Nc
Cooks advance at that place. How long he
hc will be permitted to wait, is known only
10 Generals Sherman and McCook. From
the largo re-enforcements which are now ar
riving to join our army, think it will be safe
to say, not long. / have no doubt, that this,
he central division of the UnioR army now
in Kentucky, will have its full share to do

and confident thatit will successfully perform
all required OF it. Our troops are fast
qualifying themselves to do soldiers full
duty, drilling daily about six hours, and on
picket once week.
The health of our boys is as good as ever
saw in so large body of men. There il
less sickness in our own Regiment than in
any other in camp The deaths, this far
are principally confined to the Kentucky and
Indiana troops, the larger proportion of the
former, The Kentuckians in camp, are no
doubt brave enough, but they aro slovenly
and dirty in their habits, tho penalty of
which is disease and frequent deaths. But
one death has occurred in this Regiment, A
private from Wyandotte county. The morn.
ing report OF Captain Askew s company of
this date shows eight sick in quarters and
six in hospital, none dangerously i'll, nearly
all are cases OF diarrhea caused by mprudcnt
