respondence of the Cincinnati Gazette that
authorities claim here that Indiana will
have over $1,000 men in the field this
month, making over 20, 700 more than her
quota, for three years or during the war
The War Department will accept no more

18th says: s G.
The soldiers up in Cheat Mountain have
built very respectable mountain city in
which to house this winter. When the
disadvantages under which the men had to
labor are taken into consideration, il will
appear that gigantic work has been per-
formed. One brigade had no tools except
a few axes, one tsecesh" auger, one ditto
adze one ditto drawknife, and with this
meager supply four thousand men had to
work. The greater part Of the lumber had
to be brought from a distance of half a
mile, and that upon the backs of the men;
1t is novel as we'll as pitiable sight to
see from twenty to twenty-five men stag
gering along beneath huge pine, and
fairly dropping when they arrive, from
pure exhaustion. The chimneys are all
substantial stone structures, while the
buildings are neatly rooted, and "chinked
and daubed" thoroughly.
