EDITORS DEMocRAT.-Having . few
leasure moments this morning, and
thinking few items from here would be
Of interest to your readers, l have taken
the liberty Of writing.
l came over from Cairo in not very
good health, and placed myself under
the care Of Dr.. Coatsworth, Of the 22d
regiment, and am now able to be about
camp.
The last few days have been very ex.
citing ones. Night before las: the pick
ct guard of the 18th regiment, Col.
Law!er, we're attacked at Bertram, eight
miles in the interior, and three Of The
savalry company taken prisoners, and
yesterday morning Capt. BuelIs Light
Artillery were sent Cut in pursuit tf
them, but with wnst success have not
yet learned, IS they have not returned.
On -" - ~e -
battle at Springfield, NO., Gen. Premise
who lad just returned from Cape Cir
ardeau on the steamer Memphis, order
cd the 18th regiment Of Illinois, V. NJ,
Col. Ross, and the I'd regiment of Iowa,
10 strike their tents Immediately, which
was done in short time. Not long af-
ter two steamers arrived from Cairo to
take them up the river. Among the
which left was the Daven-
port Artillery, Capt. Brewster. They
sailed amid the booming Of the "a
Founders, music by the full brass bands,
and the deafening cheers of the 22d
and 18th regiments, with whom they
had been on friendly terms at the Point.
1t was perfect ovation, and one that
will long be engraved upon their minds.
The I'd Iowa have made hosts of
friends, not only here but At Camp De-
6ance, Cairo, and wherever they 90 they
carry with them the respect and kind
wishes ofall who have had the pleasure
Of their acquaintance. To Capt. Brews-
ter, Lieuts. Slaymaker and Holmes l
am under personal obligations for court
estes extended by them.
Since the commencement of this let.
ter tie steamer D. A. January has ar.
rived from Norfolk, with the 10th regi-
ment, l. V. N. Col. Terchiu, and viii, as
soon as they can cook five days rations,
leave with the balance Of the I'd Iowa
regiment for the Upper Missouri.
The steamer Uncle Sam has also lust
arrived from Cairo with the 7th Regi-
ment, Col. Cook, who will sail 1t the
same time. Take all into consideration,
it has been day Of more excitement
than any have seen within the last
