signed. The trouble has been brought =
bout by q sdiscontented. ambitious and jeal-
Gus rebel force. and whilst we defend. we
must be fed and clothed; and il our almost
inexhaustible corn and wheat fields are the
recipients of the immense treasure il costs.
and we are thereby pecuniarily benefited
at home. why is il that such "hard times"
and scarcity of money are so confidently
anticipated BY most of our citizens at home?
Are not our fea;s and sad anticipstions the
result of greedy and avAricious spirit?
Can you tell Mr.. Editor? for the encour-
agement Of others as we'll as CERES.
We predict that money. (good. hard
money will be as plenty, in short time,
as it was last spring. including the stump
tail stuff. with which we were so extensive
ly swiudled. Produce of all kinds must
increase in price soon., owing principally
to the failure of the Wheat crop in France
and Spain. aud Of course business will re-
vive to considerable extent. Some
branches Of trade may languish. but other
branches will be correspondingly stimula-
ted. and all know with what facility the
American people accommodate themselves
to change Of circumstances. The stun
ming effects Of the recent financial revulsion,
caused by the rebellion and the deprecia-
tion Of the stump-tsil currency which COM
posed almost the entirs circulation in this
region. are rapidly passing away. and al.
ready the Indications of brisk times begin
to manifest themselves.

statements.
The rebels. I had almost forgotten TO
mention, had a desperate fight among
themselves. the other night. about three
miles from our camp. We could plainly
hear the firing. and thought at the time
that some of our regiments were engaged;
but the next day some of our boys were on
the battle field. and reported that it pre-
sented the appearance of severe battle
The ground was awfully torn up. and any
quantity of blood stained the earth all
through the woods for considerable dis
tanee. Eight hundred blankets, as many
haversacks, guns. pistols. swords, and a
bout $4,000 rounds of cartridges were
found on the ground. A few dead horses
lay around. but the killed and wounded
men must have been removed, for there
were none to be fonnd. Il is kind of a
mystery to us, but some of their regiments
must have met in the night. and mistaken
each other for enemies. They must have
lost several hundred men. They went off
from our camp. where they had been for
several days, with devil Of scare on any
way.
When we got the news Of Gen. Rose
Grams victory. our boys. who were laying
behind the breast works, expecting an at
tack from the rebels. raised such yelling
and cheering. that they concluded there
must be at least 90. 900 Of us. They came
on purpose to attack us. but have gone
back to their old encampment about ten
miles up Elk river. and tomorrow comes
our turn to pay them and their camp Wis

Money Nearces--Har0 Times, &C.
Mn. EDlroR.-It seems rather unaccoun-
table even to one who cndeayors to OBJ
serve with scrutinizing eye. the principal
passing events Of the times. why it is that
there is such . hue and cry about the
scarcity Of money. and that times are so
hard; and though there may be some
grounds for it. why is il so? Every thing
that the earth is capable of producing. has.
the present season. yielded in great abun-
dance. About the time our principal
crops were matured and the principal part
of the harvest over, and our main staples
secured. quite a number of our laboring
classes were called to the fields Of battle;
and although they are no longer producers
they are. nor will they be. none the less
consumes. Their absence leaves vacant
places for many who were seeking employ
ment. thus tending to amcliorate the condi-
tion Of all in need. OF course the result
Of such changes and their effects. are not
to be expected in moment. day or a
month. and perhaps need not be for seve-
raj months.
l have noticed published statements
which seemed to be from reliable authori-
ty-that our governmental expenses. for
the war alone. is not less than . million
of dollars per day. This money is scat
tered in every direction; to our soldiers.
and to the producers Of their food and clo-
thing. and paid for horses. mules. wagons.

that the principal staples Of our farmers

KIND FRIExD:- To-day. upon my return
to Camp, having been out on picket guard
with the rest of the company for the last
six days. l received q letter dated August
Goth. from you. was very glad to hear
from you. and now hasten to respond.
am well and in the best of spirits. being
satisfied with my position. my officers. and
intend to fight desperately for the success
of the great cause in which we are enga-
ged; but. notwithstanding. il / could con-
veniently. would like to be transferred to
the command of Garabaldi. That name
has kind of charm attached to it. All
those tha. love liberty and free institutions,
love that name All would enthusiastical-
ly rally round the man. and march under
him to battle and to victory; for he never
marched to defeat. look upon him as a
second Lafayette. whom God has sent to
help us maintain those .ree institutions.
those heaven n-born principles. and this free
and happy country from destruction. He
sent the first Lafayette to help our forefa-
theirs establish them. and now, unwilling
TO see the great fabric which he reared 60
to destruction, ere its great mission is half
complished-the great work Of the A
mcrican Republic half fnishcd.-he has
sent us another Lafayette. known to the
world for his pie.y. his energy. his love Of
liberty. and his bravery and skill in battle.
In my other letter, / think told you
that we expected to have fight in short
time. We have not yet met the enemy.
but I assure you unless the traitors run. as
they nearly always do. another battle will
have taken place ere five days have passed
away. They were to have been attacked
yesterday. Gen. Rosencrantz telegraphed
to that effect, and that he would be here.
Every thing was put in readiness. the Ar
tillery horses were all harnessed in. and
the order to march was awaited, but in an
hour or SO the order yas countermanded
for few dsjs only. The 18th Ohio, aud
four companies Of our regiment were al
ready up at their camp. which is IL miles
distant from our camp. We had been
there as stated before as advanced pick
cts. Our pickets and theirs were in talk
ing distance Of each other. Their precise
number is not known. 1t is thought TO
be about ten thousand. 1t is known that
they received large reinforcement yes
terday. Our pickets are within mile ol
their camp. We can see their tents and
their fires when they are cooking. There
has been some skirmishing. with q few
killed on both sides. A few days more
and liberty will gain another victory. or
receive another defeat. God grant that Il
may be victory. At any rate We will
trust in God and keep our powder dry. as
our Chaplain tells us to do. We have
preaching once or twice every Sunday, and
did have Sabbath School for awhile. We
have an excellent Chaplain. He is liked
by all. After the battle is over will write

While deep witchcry, soft and bright,

Upon her shadowcd streams;
