LETTERS FROM THE INFANTRY
PosT NEAR RELAY HOUSE,,
Nav Il 1861.


This place is now known as a Post instead
of Camp, the Post consisting of two regi-
ments, and the Boston Artillery, all under the
command of Col. Jones. The 9th is now un
der command of Lieut. Col. Watson. We
were out on a tour of observation, yesterday,
with Col Jones, Col. Hincks of the Sth, Major
Cook of the Artillery, Adjutant Farr OF the
Post, Lieut.. Porter of the Artillery, and some
sergeants and corporals of the Artillery, in all
thirteen, mounted on fleet horses, in full uni
forms. We rode about thirty five miles around
the country. By order of Col. Jones, l
searched the dwelling house Of noted and
wealthy secessionst, who, we had heard, had
stored firearms on his premises. We found
nothing, as he had enlisted at Harper's Ferry,
and had probably taken the arms with him.
During our ride we passed through Ellicott's
Mills, Economically located village. nesting
under the hills, looking much like some of the
manufacturing villages of our Blackstone val
ley. From the mills we passed over macad-
amized road to Catousville, which we found
guarded by soldiers, thence one mile TO the
Pennsylvania camp, where we were cordially
entertained.
JUNE 2, 1861.
We still remain al this post, and for aught
l knew 10 the contrary, we may remain dur
portant position 10 hold and as we are now
here, and the people about us are anxious we
should remain, think we may not be moved
farther south. This Sunday morning, our
regiment was formed in line, and thesarticles
of war were read by the adjutant. The arti.
Giles are very strict, and their execution will
bring the regiment into more strict discipline
than it has yet seen, An officer who uses
prolane language in camp is fined 81 and a
private, for the same offense, is fined one-sixth
of dollar. One of the privates of our COM
pany was tried, yesterday, by regimental court
martial, for running guard line, and leaving
camp without leave. He was sentenced to be
confined three days on bread and water, then
taken before the regiment and publicly repri-
manded.
Ghe news of the skirmish at Fairfax, yes
terday, excited us considerably in camp We
are less liable than those at distance to be
deceived by reports of war movements. We
see men every day from Washington, fire.
quenty from Harper's Ferry, spies, govern
ment agents, &c, who know all about affairs.
My opinion is we shall make no attack on
Harper's Ferry. 1t was the design of the
government, week ago, to Immediately at
tack the rebels at that point, and We were or
dered to join an expedition there; but that
was counternanded, and now the programme
is changed.
We had, Yesterday, in our tent to dinner,

THE THIRD DisTRIcT.-Some jealous par
tizans in the third congressional district held a
convention at Dedham, Monday, and nomin-
ated Col. Elcazer Beal of Randolph for con-
gress. The leaders of the movement, whose
names received little notoriety in the Free
School" diversion year or two since, object
to Judge Thomas on the ground that she is
scholar, but no statesman politician, but no
patriot that he is supported by frank aboli-
tionists and political demagogues;' and, in a
word, that he is nothing but can out.and-out
republican" Gen. Underwood of Milford
wrote them letter denying that lie had any
sympathy with the movement which placed
Judge Thomas in nomination. Speeches were
made by Rufes Hayward of Blackstone and
others, denouncing abolitionists and secession
lists, and calling upon democrats not to surren-
der. We have assurances from the south part
of Worcester county that this side movement
is regarded with very little respect, and that
good and patriotic citizens will support the
nomination of Judge Thomas with the same
generous and cordial unanimity in which they
have given their encouragement to the war.

GONE TO THE WAR.-Among the many in
teresting incidents connected with the recent
departure of the LIST regiment, Hudson brig
AIDE, New Jersey State Militia, commanded by
Col. Van Houghton, was the parting between
father and his three sons, who have enlisted
for The war as drummers in the above regi
ment. We refer to Oliver, Warren, and M.
thew Concklin, Jr., the sons of Matthew
Concklin, the veteran drummer of Dodworth's
Band. They are very superior performers
and excellent rifle shots, the youngest being
twenty years Old The parting between old
Matthew and his boys was very affecting. He
duly impressed upon their minds the impor.
lance of their mission, and the duty their
country required of them also admonisling
them to stand fast ito their colors," and never
beat the "long roll" till the last armed foe ex-
PRED. After having been in sery ice for up.
wards of thirty.fye years, which is the case
with Matthew, it is hard for a father to give
up his only sons in his old age, and in such a
manner. But that patriotic old soldier would
not take them back.

The victim was of highly respectable family
and though remarkably well educated, speak
ing several modern and one or two ancient
languages, had yet acquired habits Of inebrietyi
which she attributed To the desertion Of heI
husband and the death of her only child. She
was In the receipt OF handsome income, and
wore about her person u considerable sum oi

her murder.
