NJ. PENSACOLA, April 2s, 1861.
M,'. Editor Thinking our many friends and
readers Of your favorite paper would like to hear
Of our whereabouts, / take the liberty to inform
them through the columns Of your paper. You all
know Of our departure and our last goodbye to
you all; and many Of you know Of the appropriate
advice of the talented Pastor, DR.. Palmer to us on
onr departure from our dear friends and homes !;
but there probably is none Of you who know what
we are doing here; therefore, will tell Won of our
journey here, and what we are at. After we left
the cars at the lake, we embarked in the Alabama
Tor Mobile, where we arrived next morning and
We can none Of US soon forget the gentlemanly
Captain of that boat for his hospitality. From
Mobile we went to Blakeley, by boat from there
we marched As miles, through the woods, to the
railroad; think Of our city chaps who, when at
home, would sicken to think of walking As miles,
but now can, when their country calls, carry a
musket and heavy knapsaek fifteen hours in success
sion without tiring; and the last day, as we were
within SIX miles OF the railroad, and night coming
on, the question was, Shall we camp here or 70
onI' every one, both the Crescents and Guards,
said, s Let us on.n
We are now hard at work building battery for
the protection of this point and the only difficulty
we labor under is our hands are very tender, but
still the spirit is willing, although the flesh is weak
and all we wish is that we could do our country
double service; but, as itis kind friends, we will
all do our best, and are sure of success. And,
see the Crescent there, for we can see them daily
incur camp, and as often as we see your (Cres-
cent? paper DO we bless the day we took the name
Of Crescent Rifles, and hope to be an honor to all
Crescents, and even our noble country.
The Crescent Rifles, as well as the Louisiana
Guards, are all quite well, and hard at work. We
change off-each party work half an hour--"and
our work goes bravey on.p Our officers are Of
the very best and our Captain will live III the mem
ory of every member of this company in after
years. There is nothing he deprives US Of which
will promote our happiness. May God bless all
such men and make them AL captains.
Dear Crescent, how can We ever repay you for
all the papers yon send US? wish you could once
hear the cheers that offered to the giver when
package of your papers arrives at our camp
each morning.
But will now close this for the present, hoping
all our friends at home are WELL and that they will
all be satisfied to hear from u.s. as they will not see
us return until we return victorious
hope you will excuse this, as it is written as
rest on the blade of my shovel on my half hour
relief. And may the God who blesses US in the
camp, protect our earfriends at home. You shall
hear more anon.

prodigious. The aged Mrs. Preston, of whom we
spoke yesterday, was present, and was greatly be-
sieged by the old and the young, the gallant and
the beautiful, all paying their warmest respects.
The tables at a late hour, were cleared off in the
usual manner by auction. We have no doubt
that very large sum of money has been realized
by this fair; thanks to the patriotic industry of the
ladies'.
