@TH REGIMENT, I. T,M.
CAMP NEy1s, Ky, Nov. II, 1851.
Gen. Buell. arrived here to day, aad grand
review ard Inspection Was had Of all the troops
In this CAMP. Ger. Sherman assisted In the re-
view. Nothirg ever happezed since the first
Organization Of the Department OF the Cum
berlaId that gaze the troops in this division
Of the s1my 80 much 1appiness and satisfac-
tion as the removal Of Gen. Sherman could
give 5ou handred reasons why this Is so, any
oae OF which il sufficient to condemn him in
tie eyes OF : civilized people, One instance
Of lis tJ1annic&l disposition is shown In gen
eral order, recently issued by hin, that here
aiter no soldier, officer, or military man, What
ever, dying In this camp, should be buried
With military honors. An order never before
lFsuea in the history Of this country, and as
barbs1ons II In its nature, IS the most uneIvi.
lized people on this earth wsuld think
Of ~ ,ns gsa TO- ss Tss tness Of he
manner IL which military men shall b
buried, ard no man h=s any right to forbid
following out the Instructions. It Is too hua-
BILE to think Of, that after poor soldier hiss
laid down bis Life in the defence Of his coun-
~, to be denied The poor privilege Of having
bis mourning comrades follow his bo1y to
its laRt and final home, In foreign land.
1cannot inform you how many troops there
are in this camp, without giving aid and con.
fort to tbs rebels, which have no desire to
do; and as Gen. Buell. has ordered the arrest
think teo much Of my liberty, to saJ nothing
Of my desire 20 obey all orders, to run any
risk but 1t is conceded on all hands that
there are enough to whip old Buckner so bad
that he Wi1neyer again see the sacred soil Of
Kentucky and it Is hoped now that q new
vance will be made without delay.
Troops &re arriving faster now than at any
previous time, and as the railroad has al it
can do, they hare to march from Louiayiue
here.
through the kindness OF Col. kirk, Lieut..
Sot BosWorth a1d Adjqtant Leayitt, Of the
54th Regiment L Y. H., had the pleasure Of
going the 81 grand rounds" with them, through
the circuit Of the entire pickets, occupying the
whole night, and travelling distance of over
twenty five miles. Every few rods the clear
voice Of Picket would be heard, t'Halt."
I "Eo sonise 1aetS 1ne .epiy u, Inc
grand rounds; &ismoant sergeant Of the
grand rounds, and advance unarmed, With up
IItted hands and give the counteFsIgn,n when
the sergeant, who leads the way, immediately
does,, when the picket replies, 'Adyance
grand rounds, the countersign is correct"
II is very exciting going the rounds Of the
ptckets. for every little while you come to the
headquarters Of each company, and find more
or lees prisoners, who have been arrested by
the plcketa. To hear them plead to be dis
charged, and declare they are Union men, one
but the Thi1ty-fourth is ine1orable, and their
fame for being strict while on picket duty, IL
all through the country and camp.
The Sanitary Commission from Washing
ion has just been here, examining Into the
condition Of the camp and the health Of the
ment Y. Ii. down A No. II opposite every
question On their books, thing they say has
Lot been 1oae before since they commenced
their lahors.
It Is the opinion OF 'wise heads " that this
division Of the army will move to Green River
enemy At Bowling Greer, will be tbs result,
and nothipg could be more gratifying to ali
the meu than this.
4 man arrived In camp last night from
| Bowling Green, with five small children, ,whose
mother was dead They had walked all the
way, aud slept out every night, and one ct the
children had to be carried, and the Oldest one
only twelve years Of age. They run away,
and Were all batefooted, and it moved the zen
10 1ea1s to sec the sight. Gen. McCook kiad-
i took them in charge, aud got shoes for them
all. They are on their way to Indiana.
The man reports 1,500 men oaly seven miles
from here, and you may soon 1eac Of an effort
| 10 capture the rebeI hand.
Great hopes are entertained now th1t Gen.
Buell. has command, that something will be
done, aud that the enemy viii be made to feel
| that there is poHer left in this Government,
! and that men cannet lay eacrilegious hands
| upon lts liberties without Ruffering the Just
| penalties Of 81 outraged people
