CAMP SHADY, SECOND BATTALION.
Editors the Republican:
As some Misrepresentation have been pub.
lished in reference to our battalion, thought
proper, as the opportunity presented ITSELF of
correcting some Of the rumors. We started
from Washington without any preparation for
q longer time than seven days, aud, of course,
are in Q bad way for clothes and other articles.
Yet we are on the alert for the enemy, and are
willing to stay here until our time is out. No
dissatisfaction exists, with the exception Of one
Of our officers, and he has been superseded.
Our battalion will never go back as long as
danger exists. We will follow to the last our
gallant leader, Harry B. Curtis, who is loved
by every member Of company A, of the Union
regiment, and almost idolized on account Of
, his affectionate regard for his men. He has
been untiring in his exertions for the comfort
of his sick, and is more popular than any other
officer ever in service in our company. We will
! follow him to the death, and we know, from ex
perience, he is the man TO lead US where dan
ger is prominent.
n Before l close my letter. must mention ou
+ much loved and respected lieutenant, Ward
who is always ready for seeing our men com
|. iortably fyed and provided for after lon.
i march, We know what he is made Of, as W,
are out nightly on scouting expeditions, and th
!. only thing keeps Us here is the kind treatmen
of our much loved officer. We are in dan
a gerous place. Us tho enemy is only across tn,
y river. We have some night alarms, &c.
