Letter 4eo'm Camp Utley.
CAMP UTLEY. Racine. Wis. oc.. 2. 1851.


FRIEND CovER: IIsviug got safely iu-
to camp and having little leisure time, I
thought | would drop you a few hurried
lines, as we are ever anxious to hear '.good
news from home," and | know Of no bet
ter medium than the columns Of the Her
aid. Our company, the Buena Vista Fly
ing Artillery, was raised at Lone Rock,
Richland County, and is composed mostly
Of Richland and Sank County boys, though
there are several from Iowa County and
three from Old Grant, including your hum
bic servant.
We number about a hundred and seven
ty men. We have good officers, and sew
eral Of them have seen service. Our Cap
tain, Henry Dillon Of Lone Rock, has the
confidence and affection Of bis men aud has
few, if any superiors ia the service of I'M
Gle Sam; he was elected without dissent
ing voice. He served three years in Next
co, under the notorious Capt. Bragg, and
is now anxious to Ineelshiln and introduce
Aim to his company
We left Lone Rock Monday and came
to this place. We passed Camp Randall
a little past noon, anaAWere greeted with
hearty cheers by the soldiers, which were
heartily responded to By our boys. We
stopped but few minutes at Madison; at
GAINESVILLE we changed cars, and then come
through to this place without interruption.
We got into Racine little after dark, and
had to march about mile and half from
the depot, through a drilling rain, to
Camp Utley. We were welcomed by cheer
after cheer, by the boys in camp. We
found a good supper awaiting US, and as
we had had nothing to eat since early in
the morning, we did it justice. Our tents.
equipage, &c, not having arrived, we had
to march back to town to fiud lodging.
We lodged in an old theater We had no
blankets, but hay enough was spread on
the floor to make it nearly as soft as a
blanket would be under us, and being tired
with our days ride, we slept as sweety as
though we were in bed at home. Yester-
day we spent in drilling. We were fur
nished with shirts today, and part OF US
with blankets. Our tents, uniforms, DC,
are now daily expected.
We have plenty to eat, but 4 'licacy has
to be thrown aside or one will fare pool -.
There are five batteries Of artillery now in
camp here. We don't know now long we
shall have to stay here, but rs we have a
hard drill tc learn, we will probably not
get away before the first Of December.
We are all looking forward anxiously to
the time when we shall be ordered to the
Lind of ..Dixie." / have not been il camp
long enough yet tc know whether shall
like it or not never thought | should
fancy the life of soldier, but in time
like this, when our country requires the
service Of every man. j have no desire to
turn back and consult inclination o. con-
yenenee.
Please change my paper to this place
while remain here.

War spirit in Dane county.


Some time since, when it was announ-
cea that Rock aid Green counties We're
going to JOIN hands and raise regiment
BIZ themselves, the Madison papers decir-
cd that Dane county would raise regimeut
by itself, and Forthwith the field and Sta #
officers Of the Eleventh regiment we're 1t
once appointed, Of course and very proper
II from Madison. The regiment was then
filled MP with companies from Jefferson,
Iowa. RichIand, Sauk, and Dane counties.
And now we see that Dane couatyis golnc
to raise { p another regiment, At least re
suppose SO, as nearly all the field and STAFF
officers of the Twelfth regiment, which Is
vet in embryo, have been appointed from
Madison. Success to the project The
balance Of the counties will appreciate the
efforts Of Dane county--i.e., Madi OF

October, 5th, 1861.
Mn. Covert am here in Col. Dan
iel's Battalion Of Wisconsin Cavalry; and
the reason | have not written sooneris the
want Of time. | understand there is a
report in circulation in old Gent that |
enlisted in Captain Van Deutsch's Cavalry
Company of Milwaukee and was bought
from that company by man operating
for Col. Daniels for the sum of Ave dollars.
Now [ wish to say to my Grant County
friends that | never enlisted in the Mil
waukee company, and more than this, gold
cannot buy me- came to join this Bat
talIon voluntarily, and mean, b. the as
sisting Grace Of God, to fight for the glo-
rious Stars and Stripes while this rebellion
against freedom lasts, and as long as a
traitor to this glorious Union treads on
freedoms SOIL
There are now 600 of us here in camp
and still they come; and finer body Of
men i not to be found in the State; the
good behavior Of this battalion is heard
from all parts. Colonel Daniels will not
allow any drunkards here; if man gets
drunk he is drummed out Of camp. l
have not seen any drinking since | came,
six weeks ago.
Col. stevens is here drilling us with the
sword; he is the most military looking
man / have seen, and the best swordsnan
FL the State. Governor Randall will be
here to-day TO inspect US. The probability.
IS that we will 90 to Washington Or near
there soon.
Ourindefatigable Colonel works for Us
day and night to make US comfortable.
lie had hard work to get the State to do
for US, but has succeeded ut last.
But must close.

Mr.. Salmon has addressed letter to
the Republican State Committee, accept
inc the nomination for Lieutenant Govern
or. He says:
From the printed proceedings Of the
Convention, / gather that my political
position was in the main not misunder-
stood. Yet | deem it proper here to state
that | have never belonged to the Repub-
lean party. | have generally acted with
the Democratic parry heretofore; but not
being politician and not wishing political
preferm ent, have always taken the liberty
to dissent from party acts, whenever J did
not consi Ter them worthy ofsuppoIt.
| cannot always sacrifice my personal
convictions to party measures. This has
been my position. Since the breaking out,
however, of the present formidable insur-
rection, which threatens to destroy our
government and constitution, have felt as
If all party lines ought 10 be etfacsd. |
think the people of the loyal North ought
now to know only one party. Those who
rallv with good and earnest will for the
support Of our government and for qigor-
Gus prosecution or the war waged against
it, ought not to be divided by party ami
mosities.
With these views should not have con
sidered myself 1t liberty to accept a nomi-
nation from tile Republican Convention,
had not that body, BY its acts and resou-
tions, shown that in the present crisis, il
would disregard party li.es.
