myself Of this opportunity to give you
the intelligence that we are organized and
eager for our destination wherever it may
be- No matter whether It'll in The lin

cline OF Dixie, to meet the opposing Tor.

6sted and noble hearted boys is an indica.
ton Of her unainching intention oI
maintaining the Union Of States, of hearts.
and Of hands, as i, was in the purer days
Of long ago; when the illuslri0us Jack.
son was posted at the helm of Govern.

mestic insolence. He is gobe,yet it seems
iItough the bestOWment of Divine Provi.
dence, that at this critical period in our
history, second determined "Jy tie B..

victorious annihiation of rebellion.
As baud OF Union lovers and pre-
servers, we are perfectly content with our
destiny whatsoever il may be, but would
rather lsaVS tfis1 Capitol camp of our
State, although we have been as well
treated as we expected BY Uncle Tod and
Victory. A portion Of our company e4.
presses desire TO go TO Lake Erie, but
will be content with any deposition that
is essential to the welfare of our country
only so we renain.uhde the ssupersision
OF Capt. Henley and Lieutenarts orman

wish him to be, kind and benevolent b

our country.
This evening while VIC were strolling

antipathy even while-in confinement where
they can see the old flag Displayed to the
free breeze Of heaven, speaking ps il
floats 10 supreme majtsty anu grandeur,
Victory! Uniohl now and forever, one and
iuseparabls! This afternoon one of tbeil
miserable number was conveyed from the
prison cold and silent; in the embrace o
death. We stood aud gazed at Tie hears'
