FRIENDS EsriLL:-Sincc ! last wrote you we
nave bccu enjoying extremely warm weather for
thls season Of the year. II appears more like
spring than like December The ground is com
partively hard, and we are making good use of IL
III tho way Of drilling. Our Regiment has gained
quite a name already. lts drill, dicpline, cleanl
ness OF quarters, and the good behayiorof the men
is the talk OF the whole camp
We received our dress uniform on Thursday. IL
consists Of dark blue frock coat, very neatly trim
med with light blue cord, aud bright blue pants.
lhe boys are highly pleased with their 'duds'-a
claim to be Lieutenants They form quite n con
uast with the IOuave Regiment quartcrcd on our
nght. They are the rullest and dirtiest looking
set Of men ! have seen yet With all their dirt
and bad behavior they form class Of men who are
noble soldiers, apd present to our thoologans the
vital fact that there is II rclccming trait in all
mankind. The willingness Of thousands of men
of the lowest character to sacrifice everything dear
to them, even their lives is evidence that there is
n cord in the most degenerate that when touched
by the sklIlinl artist brings forth those tender
melodies which are planted imperishably in every
human soul
| am sorry to say that the exposure we endured
the tAst few days after our arrival here has in
creased our sick list fcatfuly, but there are no
really serious cases, and most of them are rccov.
ing slowly As this concerns the Doctor of our
Regiment, cannot iorego telling Joke on him.
On Tuesday night last n soldier came in evidently
out of balancc--couldu't "hod his oats" in.
quircd what allied him "Why," said he, 81 was
81 (hic) sick two da (hc) days. and the mis-. thic)
sission gave free pills for the tooth (hic) ache
so took Il walk for my health (hic)" asked
the doctor about his tooth ache pills, but he con.
dcmns the joke as libel on the profession.
Yesterday we received the pleasing intelligence
that we leave for Kentucky on Tuesday morning

A Slight Mistake.

We learn from the Cadz Sentinel that Capt
R. w. Worries raised his company in this and
Knox county. The Sentinel is correct with some
tri6ng exceptions Capt VoRHEs did not raise the
company in Holmes and Knox counties ; in fact
he did not raise the company at all. 1t was raised
by Col FREScH, in Holmes county, with the ex-
ception of some fifteen men. Capt NoRnEs vol.
unteered as a private, was elected and commits.
stoned First Lieutenant, and when Capt FRrNcH
was advanced to Lieut. Colonel, Lieut.. Worries
was elected Captain. The compliment paid to
Capt VoRHRs is deserved. He is worthy young
man, and deserving of all the position that has
been voluntarily conferred upon him.

For the Holidays.

a can Of nice Oysters is just the thing for the
approaching holidays. Oysters. like everything
else, differ vastly in quality. We often get them
very small, and when stewcd, become dry and
tasteless. Indeed, most of those sold through
the country are of this character Groccrymen
can buy thema few cents cheaper, and they there
fore make a little more money on them. If you
want the best quality go to CoRBUs' Grocery and
ask for those stamped CANES" If you do So
and fail 70 get No. Oysters, you may whip
the price Of them out of us at your earliest con
venience.

CInnabar IN Lake county.

The editor Of the Napa Reporter, haying
visited the cinnabar mines lately discovered
between Berryessa Valley and Clear Lake.
gives II as bis opinion that no discovery Of
clnnabar in America has ever been made
equal in value or extent. Two we'll defined
ledges OF the mineral extend up the noun.
tain side visible upon the surface, at most
pOiuts, for over three thousand feet. They
are erOken in places, but stil unmistaka-
bly, forming Continuous and massive ledees
Between these ledges scarcely Loose stone
can be turned up by the pick, but which on
breaking proves to be clnnabaT Of the rich
est quality. Many large stones, standing
Isolated, are nothing less than solid blocks
OF clnnabar. For distance OF over hun
dred yards at the foot OF the mountains aud
far up its side. the pick struck into the com
mon soil, comes out REDEEMED with vermil.
lion. A pan OF earth taken at random.
yields, on washing, heavy yercenl.

ments. The more massive PORTIONS OF tue

ersed by seams or veins which are nearly
black. Other portions are Of brilliant
red hue, with bright crystalline fracture.
All these varieties, on Tetorting. yiel6 .

per cent, aud some even a. high as eighty.
Messrs. Jones and Durham, the originsl
discovcrers OF this mine, have, within the
last few weeks. made side cut for some e
feet into the bill alongside OF one OF tbg
ledges. pllng up cinnabar by the lons on
one side Of the of cut. aud leaving ii.
ledge untouched upon the other. At last.
ihe problem being definitely solved. tley
have partially covered up what they hai
taken out, as there was no apparatus ready
Tor extracting the metal aud a. the ore
rapidly deteriorates when exposed to the
atmosphere. II is in contemplation to cree.
