CAMP LYON, WAsHINGroN, d. c.

Friend Eorle,-Pcrhaps you have
thought that bad forgotten my promise
in regard to writing you; not so. Sick
ness has prevented until now. ! was
very sick before we reached Philadcl-
pIia, and was left there FIVE days; then
came to Washington, but have been un-
able to do duty since; have been gaining
some for a week and am able to get
around little now.
In relation to wal matters I cannot
tell so well as though I had been around
with the rest. Oar regiment is stationed
near Chain Bridge, about six miles from
Washington. Ours, with the Vermont
2d, Maine 9th, New York 33d, two COM
panies Of cavalry and one of artillery.
form the brigade. The Vermont % is
encamped nearest Us. The Colonel Of
our regiment is promoted to Brigadier
General, and the rest of our officers are
raised from their posts in the regiment to
corresponding places in the brigade. SO
you see we stand high before actual SER
vice in battle; God grant that we tarnish
not our name there.
There is not large number of sick in
our regiment, and bat few dangerously
so.
IT is rumored that Beauregard is going
to march on Washington with 100000
men, but | think he won't come this week.
and if he should l think there would be
pretty warm work before he got into the
city.
The weather has been as cool here the
mos! of the time since we came, as it is
in Vermont at this season. Much rain
has fallen.
l have seen in some of the Vermont
papers that we have bad some skirmish-
ing, but that is a mistake. There has
been no one killed or wounded by the
rebels. The first death that has occurred
IN the regiment since it was formed
save Iirroli, shot at Camp Baxter-is
that of Oliver a. Kidder of Irasbprob
which you will doubtless learn ere this
reaches you. lie died August 23d. He
was very highly esteemed by the whole
and they deeply mourn his loss.
Yours truly.
L. ABEL CHASE.

The Election.

The election in this county went off
very quietly, so quietly that in some
towns not near an ordinary vote was
polled Oar majority will not average
less than six hundred in the county
The majority for Senator will probably
be the lowest of any on the ticket This
is owing mainly to the active efforts Of
his personal enemies to convince people
that he was "rummy,' which we are
assured by those who know him best is
gross libel. 1t had its effect, however, in
a small degree, and probably lost him
hundred votes in the county. The ma
jOrity for Judge Carpenter will reach
nearly eight hundred.
