EDS CoM:-Yon have probably been aa-
vised Of the great activity Of the 81 Kentucky
Regiment since its putting foot upou the soil
Of Virginia, N activity which has been at-
tended with such fortunate results that wait-
ing to starve them out begins to look like
fallacy-as 1t certainly is In Western Virgiuia,
Ny last hurried letter Left us in occupancy Of
the troublous town Of Guyandotte. We re-
manned there but few hours, number of
companies moving out to Camp Cfittenden
(as it WAS christenedl the same afternoon the
town was captured Camp CrtttEuden was
situated on the Charleston read, about two
the wheat field Of Col. Everett, now in the
secession army. His mansion ad1ol1ed the
field, and bis family was one Of the few Of that
Persuasion that did not flee when wu landed.

zflcn, it would have oVerpoHered them at
once The rebels we're drawn up in line OF
battle en the srow Of high hill, apparently
inacces: inie On 81 sides, and commanding
YleE tor two. miles around Of magnificent
level plain, with all Its roads in full sight, IN
I'll they ds'ind1ed into the distant forests.
Near the base Of the hill woucd the GuYap-
dotte river, and within pistol shot Of their po-
eon tSs %ss s3d re only t9dge which sPauned it
Our brave boys took but one glance aud pass
ca on.
As they neared the bridge, they discoVereda q

wound around the base Of the hill on which
NE enemy was ranged, refreshing and diSid.
