ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.


CAMP CUMBERLAND, KY, Feb. %, 1862.
DEAR FARMER !-Early on the morning of
the 3lst OF January We broke camp near Som.
crsct and started for London. This days
march was over hills and through ravincs; it
was good imitation Of NapOl5on's feat when
crossing the Alps. Some times we appeared
to be going down into the very bowels Of the
earth. We saw many large Springs on the
way which formed considerable streams, flowed
IL few hundred yaIds and then disappeared in
some hole in the ground which is the last can
be seen Of them. A phenomenon so singular
gave rise TO numerous suggestions. Some
thought it a conspiracy to drown the Chinese;
others concluded that the water was sent down
to wet the axle Of the earth and thus usage
the heat resulting from friction during these
stirring times. Whether either OF these thGo.
rics will correctly account for great stream
of water Using out Of one hole in the ground
and disappearing in another, | leave the read
or hereof to judge. With this phase OF the
water question we werohighly pleased; bat we
were presented with another less singular and
decidedly less gratifying When VIC had fin
ished hard days march heavy and steady
rain set in, and to cap the climax of our mis-
Grey our wagons failed to reach us, so we had
to lay around loose, some in the woods, some
under rails and some on the top Of railS-but
few having the pleasure of a dream that night.
Inc WISH lOf morning ana the baggage wagons
was unanimous. Daylight at last appeared,
the rain still kept coming; but our wagons
did not arrive til II o'clock. We marched
