BoLIvER TENNESSEE. June 10th, 1862.
Messrs. EtGtOrs:-To day finds nearly
all the TROOPS in General Wallace's divis-
ion in good health and in good spirits so
far as | am able to learn. The Goth Ohio
Regt, of which your humble servant is a
member, is fast regaining their health and
recruiting up finely. We left Pittsburg
Landing on the second of this month.
where we had been detached guard
ing the Provisions, &c. to rejoin our Brig
ade, who were then encamped a distance
of about Is miles from us, at a little town
called Purdy. When we arrived at Purdy
the next day Gen. Wallaces whole divis-
ion moved forward to a little tow called
Bolliver, n distance ofabout 50 miles, I'VE
marched the 30 miles in 5 days, land took
possession Oft We had a fine time march
ing, good roads the most of the way, and
very nice weather, pretty warm. The far
mers are just harvesting their grain, and
the farther we advance into the country.
the more bountiful appears the harvest.
1t appears the citizens had turned their
attention chiefly to the growing of grain
instead of cotton. Asregards the markets
of this vicinity can say but little about
them, one thing is certain there is a de-
cline in the market for Negroes, they seem
to be rather dull sale. As we were march
Ing several soldiers of the confederate
army came to us and gave themselves up
and were making their way for home.
They report great dissatisfaction prevailing
in the Confederate Army; almost every
day we see some returning home, while
many others would if they could escape.
1t was reported the rebels designed ma
king n stand at the Railroad Junction.
but the report is not true, later news says
they have, retreated to Columbus, Mississ-
ippi. 1t is pretty hard forme to say wLece
they have gone. 1t is my opinion many
would like to return home. General
Wallace's division is now N possession of
the railroad Landing, from the Junction

the extreme right about i miles from the
railroad Junction. Some of his force has
been within 6 or I miles of the junction

Fruit in this part of the country is very

them at least.

good policy dictates that the friends of

BY what We have said, we do not wish

views of those who would obtrude minor
and less important issues rs essential party
tenets to the detriment of the all-impor-
tant and all-absorbing question of sup
pressing the rebellion. Connected with
the settlement of that question, minor Is
sues hang as mere pendants. their future
consequence being wholly involved in the
result OF the contest between the govern
ment and traitors. We believe the war is
destined 10 change the bearings of the
slavery question so much as to require
somewhat different treatment than the
past has demanded. Let US, then, have
a live, progressive party. up to the times
and equal to their emergencies, not too
tenacious of the past, lest VIC neglect the
momentouS present.
