Our GovERNoR.-A correspondent Of
the World, writing from Washington,
says of our Governor
Sprague of Rhode Island, is well
known. and his indictments are always
an object of interest. He and Solomon B,
of Wisconsin, attracted attention, from
their young and vigorous looks. They
are probably the two youngest Cover
nors in the Union. Salmon. though
not so well known. is man of decided
ly fine appearance, and created a very
favorable impression. He is tall of alta t.
ure, black hair and moustache, with an
exceedingly fine physique. As is kno@n,

Army Correspondence of the Delaware gazesta
From the S2d Regiment.


BEVERLY, Va. March 10th, 1862.
Editor Ga-ete;-It having been long
time since I saw anything in your paper about
our regiment; | thought would write few
lines. We are still at Beverly guarding the
place and scouiing among the secesh. We
have only twelve or fifteen in the Hospital sick
at this time. When we were on the Mouu-
tain we were reduced. at one time to E.ur
hundred and fifty fit for duty. Many were ~
ing in their tents stupid aud dull, lot seeming
to care whether they lived or died. 4 Sur
gcon's call in the morning, the sick soldiers
couhl be seen marching up BY dozens and scores
after medicine, and when We left the Mountain
there were about eighty who had TO be hauled.
Now we are enjoying good health, and have
good. comfortable quarters to live in. With
in the last two months our boys have been
scouting great deal, and have broken up a
band of rebc.s near Dry Fork. One day last
week party of sixteen of our scouts fell into
an ambuscade of twenty FIVE rebel infantry
and forty cavalry. and after few rounds our
boys pat the cavalry to flight and routed the
infantry completely, killing six of them and
one cavalry horse without the loss of n man.
Oar boys captured twenty-five prisonars (home
guards,) one of which was Captain and one
Lieutenant. and brought them in. a few
took the oath and were released. The rest
were scat to Columbus via Wheeling. Two
boys of our company (Cupt. DyerS) have the
honor OF capturing the Captain. 0ac Of them
leEelcd his gun at him and demanded his sur
render, VIXEN he Immediately surrendered and
dismounted his horse, the captor taking his
seat in the saddle, and with the assistance oil
his comrate, they marched the rebel Captain
to Headquarters 4 day or two after two
mon were riding along the road near Dry
Fork one a soldier, the other a citizen, when
bang went gun near The road, and the poor
soldier f II dead from his horse without utter
ing word. fhe citizen looked around AMI
saw two men, when bang went another gun,
the ball passing through his overcal and
| blouse jnst above the saddle, when he put spurs
| to his horse and made his escape. lie came
J TO town and told bis sad story. next morning
| thirteen soldiers started to search for his body
but have not yet returned. The above may
not be strictly correct but it is as near cor
rect as l could get it from the scouts them
selves. Our Orderly Sergeant, +. 3. E;ennet
has lately been promoted to Chaplain, AMI as
! he is a brave man aud good whoe-soulcd Chris
tian, he will und 'ubtedly preach to US every
SUNDAY, when convenient, aud DO all in hi
power to induce sinners to believe aud repent
Of their sins, and shun tho many evils of Camp
life. Captain Dyer is now hom, on furlaarl
but we expect hia4 back to lead US when We
go to meet the foe. Delaware e.'uuty may
