are without the means Of communication
l address you this to advise our friends
of our whereabouts and movements.
The boys from Fairfield are we'll and
in most excellent spirits. They are in
want for many Of the comforts of home,
but mako no complaint. They are bo.
coming most thorough in drill and disci-
pline. Our uniform is now complete
Our camp equippage. tents &c, arrived
yesterday and depend upon it. we well
coined then gladly. Our boys are eager
for the fray. Our close proximity to
danger, the presence of Southern soil and
Southern men has largely added to the
spirit. patriotism and determination OF
our troops. The enemy that meets us
will find foemen worthy Of their STEEL
The rebels who conquer us will pursue no
retreating foe, as our determination is to
conquer them or fall on the field Of bat
tie.

that all the roads leading from the Poto-

the north, are obstructed By felled trees.

with SHOT guns, aud Lc does not believe
