Letters from the 9th Regiment Of State troops,
now the advance guard Of Col. Stones column,
speak with much feeling Of the scanty and bad
food furnished the men. The allowance is bali
pint Of coffee, one ounce Of bacon, aud some bard
bread. Every little luxury in the form Of palat-
able bread, cheese butter, milk, aud fresh meat
must be paid for at au exhorbi;ant price. They
say they are not allowed one quarter of the
regular army ratioDs. At ore point on the march
of Col. Stones column, where temporary halt
was made, the men were 81 much exhausted by
hunger that many of them fell by the wayside.
The fault is attributed 10 the Quartermaster.

teer Germans, who have enlisted for~the war,
but who stand 10 need Of some absolute necessa-
ries to enable them to move. The regiment is
composed Of the best material, aud almost every
man in it, from Col Van Steinwehr down to
the youngest private, has seen service, while
most Of the officers are educated soldiers. 1t is
due to the energy Of the Colonel that this fine
body Of men has been got together without
any other aid than that rendered him By his
friend, Mr. Albert Speyes. The contracting Of
debts for clothing, accouterments. and other
necesssries, to put the regiment in condition
10 be mustered into the service, has been inevita-
bic, and Il is to discharge these, and to provide
other things absolutely essential before they can
march, shst the regiment now needs $1,000.

R@~A telegraph item from Frederick,
Maryland, indicates that General Kelley is
doing what we said many days ago he de-
sigued-marching on Winchester, Virginia.
What is the number of men in his army or
what assistance he is to receive in attack
ing that stronghold we can only guess.
Several weeks ago it was stated that his
force at Romney consisted of 8 ,oo0or 10000.
troops, and we do not suppose be would
march on Winchester unless he was conf
dent of success. Winchester is about rs
miles from Romney and connected BY rail
with Harper's Ferry. From Winchester to
Strasburg the distance is about ten or
twelve miles. Strasburg is connected with
Manassas Junction by railroad over which
General Johnston transported his troops in
time to save the rebel army in July last,
II also has railroad communication with
Stanton and hence down the great valley
point is obvious to any enc who win but
glance at the map, and we have been sur
prised that 2 vigorous effort hiss not been
put forth TO gain possession of it before this.
At,last accounts q considerable number
of rebsI troops were at Martinsburg. This
force, we presume, will be prevented from
annoying Gen. Kelley's flank, By q forward
movement on the part Of Gen. Banks d.
vision, now at'Frederick, Nd. We under
stand that there is an excellent turnpike
from Frederick to Winchester. It was over
this road that Gen. Patterson moved his
columns and achieved so httielassl S unamer,
Between Banks and Keiley's columns, the
rebel force at Winchester will Stand q most
excellent chance of being annihiiatod.
We have thought and said that if there
was a battle in Virginia this winter, it would
be at Winchester. It is to be hoped our
soldiers there are having weather similar to
that rapidly going to waste in Kentucky.
