engaged since my ARRIVAL mere lnaL
cannot say much of Lynchburg
further than this; that from all /
have seen. it is certainly an old
town; for for many, very many,
Of the buildings gre In a state of
dilapidation. Still there are many
things truly attractive. Since wri-
ting the last line Gel. Fulton has re-
turned from the city, bringing with
him the intelligence that the Regi-
ment will leave this place to-mor-
rev morning ard return to Bris-
tol, and from thence we are or
dered by "lantE' into Western
Virginia to drive back the bogus
Kentucky Regiments composed of
Clio vandals. 1t seems that we
are Oh the wing, and when we
will find resting place; viii be
for the developments Of the flu
tUre. / have seen, since my ar
rival here, many wounded men,
and many trophies won upon the
glorious battlefield Of Manassas.
How long viii the war last if
few more such victories crown
lour standard? 1t seems to me
that already | can begin to see
the glorious sun OF the morn OF
peace, painting his approach in
rainbow oriency upon the clouds
that at enc time seemed to obscure
Southern destiny. Black Repub-
iicanism now has the impress o.
decay stamped upon its withered
and erestfallen frame; and viii
soon, as | trust, mournfully stalk
amid the wreck Of its former, and
but recent, grandeur; destined soor
for the icy embrace of oblivion
Pope, the immortal old poet, once
summed mp the destiny of Catholi-
cism in four lines, which ] think
is peculiarly applicable to BlacE
Rcpublicanism:-
"All crimes shall cease and ancient fraud shall
fail,
j; Returning justice lifts alof; her scale,
Peace over the wcrld shall her olive wan,
extend.
And white re- bed Innocence from Heavel
!, descend"
Upon this subject, friend Wal
lace, it occurs to me | could write

that my letter is alIeady too long

see it suggested that it would b.
well for housewives and others t,
knit socks ard forward them t,

mand. In fact, unless the suppl,

diers will suffer. This should no
be. Then let mothers, wives
sisters, and sweethearts knit sock
for those in service. They will d
; it gratuitously and well.
