CAMP JoE Hour, December 5, 1861.
Not buving much time to spare, in conse-
quence of the early departure Of friend
who promises to convey this letter, hasten
to pen you few lines with reference TO the
arrival of the Tenth Ohio in Louisville.
The Lebanon, which conveyed the larger
portion of the Tenth, arrived safe at about
three o'clock. A man named John Kelly,
member of Company O Captain Hudson's),
fell accidentally overheard and was drowned
opposite Aurora. Save this, no, accident of
any sort occurred. Every thing went on
smoothly and calmly. Colonel Lytle was
very attentive to his men during the whole
trip.
At meeting of the officers on board the
Lebanon, on her trip down with the Tenth,
it was resolved that they return their sincere
thanks to her commander, Captain Frank M.
Davidson, and her Clerk, W. @. Techenor,
for their kindness and courtesy to the sol
diers of the Tenth. They also recommend
her to the patronage of their friends as safe
and reliable source of locomotion. She will
leave again to morrow for Louisville, with
few of the officers and men of the regiment,
who were left in Cincinnati.
Another portion of the Tenth, on board
the steamer Hazel Dell, under command of
Msjor Burke, reached Louisville at four
o'clock, where they remained until about
seven, when both steamers glided across to
Jeffersonville, and there landed the "bloody
Tenth" who Immediately fell into line with
full ranks, and marched through the city en-
route to Camp Joe Holt, some two miles from
the landing. From almost every house flags
Wi
dow handkerchiefs were waving in the hands
of the pretty ladies of Jacksonville. In
fact the Tenth could not be better received
in Cincinnati than at this place. The cheers
ard huZzas that went up, like the belchiDg
forth of heavy artillery, plainly showed how
the heroes of "Carnifex Ferry" were appre-
ciated. can not say so much, however, for
| Louisville, for those with whom the boys Of
| the Tenth came in contact for the few hours
| they remained there showed their apprecia-
ton of them by charging the most extrava-
| CANT and exorbitant prices for every article
| they had for sale. To give you an example
will here state that four OF them went into
o restaurant and called for a breakfast oi
beef-steak and coffee, and for which they had
to pay only ninety cents each.
| l could enumerate many other extraordin.
ary changes but do not think it worth while
And | merely give the above to show how
the sacrifices of the soldiers of the Union are
appreciated by some of the Louisviians
The General in command is fair type o
his predecessor, as far as sealing up the Pres
is conceTned-be Tepudiates letter writers
does not believe in them, will not trust the u
Under any consideration. Well, perhaps nt
is right, but tell you he will regret it. Thi
muzziing of the Press is rather dangerou
business, and especially in an army in who's
ranks are men of the most refined taste anC
keeDest intellect men who will not suffe
themselves to be abused by every idle whin
that may come across the mind of General
and moreover, these soldiers have friends q
home, and dear ones at that, who watch tn
papers daily and read them not unfrequentl,
with streaming eyes, and a palpitating hear
lest, by any unforeseen event, they might b.
deprived OF those dear ones.
The newspaper correspondent alone i
then their comfort. On him they place th
utmost reliance for information as to tn
safety of their friends, and thus to be deprived
of that one comfort for all the sacrifices the,
bave made is indeed cruel. If General Bue
thinks he can silence the press by orderin,
the regular correspondents" home, he will
find himself wofully disappointed, for il
almost every company in the whole division
now under him he will find scholars capabl
of writing the most interesting letters, ant
not unfrequently letters giving more mi
mute account of the movements than woul
any Especial correspondents"
The Forty ninth Indiana is now at Cam
Holt, two miles back of Jeffersonvile Ind
forgot to state at the beginning of thi
letter that prior to the leaving of the Le6a
non the boys of the Tenth gave three cheer
for the ladies of Cincinnati, three for Colone
Ly tile, three for Captain Moore and three 70
Captain Hudson.
am also requested to say that the LeJd
ron starts to morrow afternoon, at fou
o'clock, for Louisville, and will take all th
officers and men of the Sixth, Ninth, Tent
and Thirteenth Ohio Regiments who may b
now in the city.
