Correspondence Of The Belmont Chronicle.
l. LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. rs, 1862.
The "orders to move, referred to in my
last did not amount TO much. We struck
our tents, packed our wagons, formed in
line, and under the scorchng rays Of the
sun, waited from 10 o'clock, A. NJ, until
o'clock, p. NJ, when we received orders
to unload our wagons and pitch our tents,
which was done in double quick time. Dur
ing tho time we were in line, we were in
formed that our Regiment would be inspect
ed by Gen. Nelson, accompanied by FIX.
Governor Dennison, of Ohio. About 90
clock Gov. Dennison made hs appearance
on our left, and rode down the front Of our
lines and back to the centre, when the regi-
ment gave three dcafening cheers for Gov.
Dennson, and three for the Buckeye State.
The Governor made inquiry after the wants
of the regiment,& If any thing could be done
for the comfort Of the men; and being in
formed that we had been supplied with
everything that we needed but ovcrcoats,
he advised the Quartermaster to draw them
at once, and If the men did not want them
: ut this time store them until they were need
{ ed. We had drawn one full set at Colum-
: !, Iey;naton aud stored them there hnt Tho
