FROM THE EIGHTH REGIMENT.

FRIDAY, April 25th, 1862.
Mr., EDIToR-Sir Since writing my last
commun cation, nothing OF particular interest
has transpired here on the Island. | am in
cined to the opinion Of many here that by the
appearances indicated, the Government in
tends to make permanent fertilization here,
even though the war shall not last long. The
expedition has been heard from but no. Off
cially. barque right from the place where
the gunboats are stationed brings information
that Fort Jackson was silenced, and forces
were about landing when they left We
were again reviewed by Col. Shepley, the
officer in command here, day OF two since,
and the boys think another call is to be made
for troops to 60 forward. The men are anx-
ious to move, and really think they will not
damp the high expectations concerning them.
The various regiments are improving both in
health and discipline. A fresh lot of horses
have been received of late, and now we do not
find II so difficult to obtain a team to trans
port wood and other heavy luggage from shore
to camp. For some time after we landed our
men were under the necessity of carving a
great deal Of such heavy stuff as commissary
and hospital stores a considerable distance,
IN order to get rations served out to the com
panies, and have the sick properly cared for.
Last Sunday private named Charles Lamb.
of Co. d, died in the morning About five
O'Clock, ?. NJ, procession was formed in
two ranks, and headed by few comrades
with arms reversed, was marched to the bury
ing ground, where, after short burial
service, read by the Chaplain, the remains of
the deceased were lowered into the narrow
receptical prepared by his fellow soldiers.
Three volies were fred over his grave and
then all turned back to their quarters, many.
no doubt, to ponder upon the sadness of his
friends, when they should come to learn ofhis
death and burial. We received to-day some
copies of your paper dated March 28th, by a
sailing vessel from Boston, which arrived yes
terday. Some two or three hundred sick and
lame soldiers were sent home few days since
on sailing vessel called "The Undaunted. ="
We wish our friends to remember and write
us often even if they should fail to get our
letters regularly, as It Is source of so much
qualification. | think many a tired and hum
cry soldier, after a days work of unusual
magnitude, would go supperless to his cot
which by the way is a bed Of sand with per-
haps few rushes strewn over it if by SO do
ing It would bring him tidings from those he
has left at home. | saw by the Waterman
that some events had been anticipated even
at that date, which have not transpired IN TO
this time but wait patiently, for the time is
not lar distant when stirring news may be ex-
pec'ed from this quarter. T. p. X.

TUE REBEL RETREAT FROM WILLIAMS
BURoH.-Mr Raymond of the n. Y. Time.
thus describes the line of the rebel retreat
from Williamsburgh
" As we waded, plunged and noundered
along the road, evidences of the panic of the
rebel retreat accumulated, Blankets aban-
doned, knapsaoks thrown away, muskets
flung aside, camps abandoned, with all their
equipage, artillery broken up and left in the
road, wagon after wagon stuck in the mud or
buried by the side Of the highway, horses
dead or dying half buried, before life had
left them, in the deep thick mud in which
their dying bodies were imbedded, all these
things bore emphatic testimony to the haste
and hopeless recklessness 9f the rebel flight.
1t reminded me of Bull Run, but am bound
to say that the comparison was favorable to
the rebels. They seemed to have saved eve
rything except what the mud and bad roads
rendered it impossible to save We were
told in town that as the men went through
they seemed ready to drop dead in their
tracks with fatigue. We learned that then
had been on half ratioBs for nonh-but
they could get almost nothing to eat in Will
liamsbnrgh, and that as they fled in terror
before the pursuing foe they seemed utterly
unable to drag one leg after another. But
they did get along somehow; and compare

or abandoned anything else which admitted
of being carried. Nevertheless, we counted
