@ The 4lst Regiment o. ". have
taken their departure for the seat Of war
in Kentucky. 1t is true that a small
force OF men mi hi be Of service at
this point. in guarding the military
stores. Our citizens fear no danger so
far as they or their property is con

it 10 turn the place into depot for sup
plies, it is hardly fair 10 increase the
danger Of attack. without affording
some protection. In our Judgment this
object would be fully attained by bring
ing down from Rosecrans' division some
fragment Of Regiment. depleted by
loss in battle. sickness, or otherwise.
The 18th Ohio for instance, number:
about 450 men. This Regiment ha:
borne incredible hardships. and under.
gone excessive fatigue. Why not al
low the remnant a short respite from
their arduous lsbors. BY sending them
here TO winter? BY this means they
could also gil up their ranks and be
ready for action in the spring. We on

a common sense view, and not from any
military stand point. of which we frank.
" confess our ignorance. Another rea.
son is. that our brave boys and their
officers. who Tor many months have been
exposed to the greatest possible priva.
tions amid the wilds of Virginia, would
be less difficult to please in regard to
quarters and such accommodations as
our town would afford. than the finical,
dandiied gentlemen who carry the
shoulder straps and brass buttons oI
the 4lst. A little active service in our
opinion will greatly benefit these gent.
