CAur MoRroN, May II, l-6l.
DEAR JouRvAL:-In former letter |
promised that if any thing very untavora-
ble occurred here, YOU should be informed
oft. sometimes feel that it is best for
me TO send something TO your columns Cor
our people at home. because we are fre
quently visited by gentlemen from taat
part of the State, aud il is sometimes very
difficult for them TO Judge, during their
brief stay here, of the real nature Of many
of the rumors of the camp.
am certain that our friends who come
here, always report truthIuliy what they
learn while in camp, but We have found
i Necessary to adopt the maxim which ad-
vi~es Us u believe nothing that we near,
and only halt of what We see.
Nov, nothing terrible has happened
bat there have some thing, rather. IN
pleasant during the last lev days; ant
viii again give you my impressions of the
state at things connected with our comIa-
ny. a, To tue men, they are, III general,
we'll, and in good spirits, and deeply in
teresrci IN keeping up the reputation o!
the company.
W e are entirely satisfied with all our
Company -otlirers; indeed, We feel ereatiy
attached to them. rs have not before
said much about them, allow NE il this
letter 10 make some bliof mention of
each
OF Capt. Lee can not we'll say too
much IA praise Of his constant devotion
To the welfare of his men. Nothing per
tanning - our Interest escapes his notice
ana hc spare ; no cNertiOn, li0WeNc labO-
riou-. for our instruction and advantage.
While other Captains send their compa
niles out in charge of the Lieutcnant>
more than half the rme, lie has drllled Us
almost necessarily himself He almost
always sleeps here, his quarters ale inst
Ike ours. and he share: our fare IN every
respect. y to his conduct, il am quail
itied TO judge. il has been tina. OF au officer
and Gentleman. lie discuurageS every
thing rude and boist,rous; in fact. moth
ing of the sort Is permitted. Though he
tas been with Us nearly all the time since
! ioincd the company, have never seen
MN oLHtlN iSc NldI Nl-NIdCus Sttd1A,
pr0mr; aud aiiablc. There is no man IN
America whom would more willingly
follow into battle than Capt. Lee.
Lieutenant Ives studies as-iduou,lv To
acquaint himself with the duties of his
new position lie seems more thoroughly
coutcnt than ever saw him in any other
pursuit He has had large share of ia
;igueing gunrd duty, but shows no dispo-
sition to shrin, from whatet er NAV be re
quircd ot him. Considering his opportu-
mites, think he has made ycry cr,ditable
proficiency.
Lieutenant NcT is generous, obHginc
and ioyisl: sort of good iellew among
the boys. Ii would be correct. | think,
t. say tnat he Is something of tavorite
Man, Of the men have long been acquaint
with him. When We are on drill. no of
ticcr could be more prompt and energetic
than he
As 10 other matters in camp, or in our
regiment, know. very little, and, as am
bur common soldier, shall say nothin.
OF hat is none of ms business.
Yours. truly,
i. b. HARRISON.

the above letter, relative TO the officer, Of
our company. JErHRo NAcl.

PRESENTATION OF WATCH TO LIEUT.. M.
G. TUrTLE.-We clip from the Louisville
Journal, the following notice Of merited
tribute to Lieut.. M. q. Tuttle:
PRESENTATION OF WArCH.-The lines of
Company D of the I'd Regiment Minnesota Vol
unteers, were the scene Of pleasant and whole.
some excitement on thu 9th instant, at Camp
Anderson, in the presentation of q handsome
gold watch to First Lieutenant futile, whose
Iiberality, kindness, and gentlemantly treat.
ment Of those under him have endeared him to
them all. The watch cost SLIGO, and was pre-.
scented by Private Watkins in an appropriate
speech. Lieut.. futile, who was sensibly
touched with this well.merited mark of es.
TEEN, replied in feeling and manly terms, and
with three times three cheers for Lieut.. futile
and rousing Tiger to wind up with, the com.
pany dispersed.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-12-27
Port Royal News.

The expedition that has left Port Royal,
under command of Gen. Viele, and part
of which is destined for Fernandini, Florida,
consists of the 47th and 48th New York
regiments, Sd New Hampshire, 9th Maine,
three companies of the Sd Rhode Island,
and two companies of Scrolls volunteer
engineers. Gen. Sherman personally &C.
companies the expedition. There are sew
enteen gunboats, twelve troop steamships
with men horses and stores, and two ships
with ordnance and ammunition. Commo.
dore Dupont is in command.
Gen. Stevens, with q portion of the Sec
ond brigade, occupies Beaufort, whittier all
our sick have been removed for the better
hospital accommodations of the palatial
mansions deserted by their owners. Daily
communication is had with Hilton Head.
The health of the troops is improving rapid.
ly. When they first landed at Hilton Head
the average deaths were two day to every
thousand, now they do not average more
than one death day to every five thous-
and.
The seventy-ninth New York and forty
fifth Pennsylvania volunteers are to be
stationed on Otter Island. This Island is
situated about forty miles from Charleston,
IN st. Helena Sound, and about twenty-five
miles from Port Royal harbor. The May
flower went to st. Helena Island on the
10th inst, and took on board three hundred
bales OF sea island cotton. The United
States Government have three thousand
cOntrabands in their employ, picking and
ginning the cotton on the ISLANDS. The
Government have in their possession about
100000 worth of cotton.
Theforty~sixth New York regiment occu
pies Tybee Island, and are throwing up
works that may be used for the destruction
of Fort Pulaski. The war steamers Flag,
Pochahontas, and Savannah lay about two
miles off Fort Pulaski. Its probable that
the main portion of Gen. Viele's command
is to stop at Tyhee, and take the back way
to Savannah. Indeed, it was knowingly
said that before many days Savannah and
probably Charleston (all that remains Of it)
