published in Saturdays Baltimore Euctange
says: -
| send you some facts in relation TO the
condition of affairs here, which the autbori-
ties would willingly have suppressed. You,
may, however, rely upon them, as being
strictly true, and as ralh r undertaking
hand eXaggerating the state of things OF
viii h l .prak, for 1 write from personal
knowledge. 1t is, indeed, perfectly useless
on the part of the Government TO conceal
facts which are known to so many people.
and which form the staple topic of ronversa-
ton among the troops on boz b sides of the
Potomac The truth is, q very considerable f,or-
tion of me e3eciUe strength Of the army is broken
dOoon By sickness That terrible disorder, the
dysentery or bloody flux. is spreading among
the regiments encamprd ON the Virginia
shore with uaexampl d rapidity, and the IA
tally which accompanies it is perfectly
frightful
Within very brief period. one of the New
York regiments have lost sixty meu by this
disease alone. a very large number of the
men belonging to the 69th are also down
with it. Many of the other regiments are
beginning 10 feel its effects, but, as yet, not
so severely. There are, or rather were, two
days ago, no less than 700 med in the wards

than probable that the number has been
greatly increased since, although they are
sending no such OF the three months men
as are able to be moved as speedily as posi-
ble. The three months volunteers, nearly to
man, will refuse TO take service again
when their term of enlistment expires The
earlier Pennsylvania troops will be paid off
and disbanded in about TWO weeks: the re-

We ks 10 serve They are bent on getting
back TO their friends and acquaintances. as
soon as they can obtain discharge-more
than one OF them have actually mutilated
themselves to effect this end more speedily.
1t Is SO with the rest of the regiments
none but the poor wretches, who have no
friends. will consent 10 enlist for The war.
They are also having an anxious time of it
at the outpOsts over the riyer-not Il night
passes but the sentinels are picked off by the
Ccntederates. Every morning the right
guards is sent out to bring in the dead, and
the numbers are daily increasing. Already
the killed aud wounded, at the outposts
alone, would count up hundreds You are
now in possession of the main reasons why the
Government is so eagerly calling for addi-
IiOnal regiments. 1t is my candid opinion
that the army, broken down by sickness as it
IS, and soon TO be weakened by the loss of
the three months 'voluntsers-is in no condition
to lake the field, and Tue new corners will
-carcely fare any better than those who are
already here.
