CAMP NEAR CRAB ORCHARD,

Dear Lou: We arrived here night be.

thing definite. but we are here. knowing
as much as we did when We left Camp at
London. except finding out that We took
the hardest march on the boys ever wit.

for eight or ten miles in squads from two

you, any one who had humanity left a.
bout them. could scarcely refrain from
tears as he saw the poor fellows lying
there completely exhausted. Some of
them would drop to sleep almost as soon
as they touched the ground. and ma.
ny would declare they could not move
forward when wakened by the officers
and when the Question is asked, why 30
hard march after night in The rain aud
with roads nearly knee deep in mud, no
one appears to be abld to answer. | pre-,
sumo superior officers to Col. Conuel can
answer, as he can't. He moved simply
because he wus ordered TO noJs. Our
Regiment stood the march better than
any Regiment in the Brigade-the las, to
start and the first to pitch tents. Com.
psny B started with Sc rank and Gle, the
rest being guards. except one in the hos.
pital and the other Lieut.. Brown sick at
private house, and we landed here with
81 in fine spirits and in order; the only
company that came in with one third the
mon they started with. Where we will
go next cannot tell; | should not be sur.

can be accomplished. We will 60 where.

The weather is very unpleasant. Last
night ice froze to considerable thickness,
but we were fortunate. as Lewis Morrison
in the afternoon of yesterday discovered
very good coal within two rods of our
camp FIRE, that was easily got at. and 10 a
few minutes coal fires were sending forth
their black smoke and comfortable hea.
al over the camp.
This morning we built 4 large FIRE in
front Of all our tents, and assure you, it
feels comfortable, although it has been
showing some all forenoon. As have
said to you before, the weather is very
uncertain here in the mountains, yet we
feel the mountain weather. as We are not
distant to be out ofits influence.
We distributed the blankets, coufdrts,

Mr. COVER; Your "mild review d
Elder Jones letter was read in company
where was present, aud produced strong
expressions Of commendation. The letter
Itself is worthy Of preservation. Tue
crimes Of the traitors are admitted. Tie
noble uprising Of the loyal citizens to the
Presidents call is noticed. With respect
to one thing in his letter, some Of us were
querying what he means when lie stated
that it would be a bitter pill to do what
duty requires a good citizen to do; he ac-
cuses Republicans Of apathy in sustaining
their own administration, only one in SIS
existing. What does he means? When
We have read Of leading Democrats justify
inc the course Of the administration, Where
they have spoken nobly for the Union, JUS
tifying the President and eondemning the
traitors, we did not suppose they would
accuse the Republicans Of apathy, for We
knew the Republicans were giving the
Democrats an opportunity To fefnte the
SANDER Of those bogus Democrats who hid
said that the Democrats Of the North
would unite with the secessionists. What
dos be mean by saying only one in six cir
listing; does he mean OF Republican voters,
or does he refer to men, women and chilli
rem. II we should take the Republican
families in the neighborhood where | i've,
| suppose it would be about in that pro-
potion. The people have responded no.
by, and will DO So whether earnest Repub-
licans or genuine Democrats notNithstand-
ing al the grumbling anil wy faces, and
complaints Of bitter pill, and apologies
for treason. ..,,,..,,.s bogus Democrats are
making. Who, that knows how the men
Of Grant County have turned ont at then
country's GILL, would think IT accusing any
Of apathy, unless it be those who apologize
for treason Surely be cannot mean thai
there is likely to be lack Of men, unless
reluctant Democrats do what be thinks Re-
publicans alone should do. We would re-
Ter HIM to brother whom the patriots Of
Lancaster cannot but consider brother
Rev. Mr.. Palmer. By word and deed he
is ready to show how a true patriot feels.
Not saving, our country, right or wrong
but our country Is right. 1reaso'a--'e-
5ellion Is wroag. Apology ior treason i

Is to die in the path Of duty. In this time

patriotism. while the bogus apologize Tor
