From fIte 8sb RcnImenL -
We are permitted to make the following ex-
tract from letter Of Lieut. chas. Dr. Fouhe, of
Company +, to his wifea f rr
Camp Hardius, Judy 8, 1862.
We landed on Wednesday aftcrnoon
ID, on the farm where President Harrison, was
born, which is about 30 miles below Richmond,
by land and so by water, and were Immediately
marched to the outpost on the Richmond r0ad,
4miles fromthelanding through one ofthe mud
diest roads have yet found, and the rain fall
ing as It only can IN Virginia. We stayed in
the mud until noon the next day, when the reb-
els made an attack upon the right Of our posi-
ton, and we were marched 10 where thcy had
their guns planted, after short skirmish, they
retired. The rebel piekets were only 400 yards
from where ! stood picket from Friday noon un-
til last night. The boys and the rebel pickets
were shooting at each other most Of the time
The rebels were seen to carry off six of their men
dead or wounded There was one of our BOYS
named White slightly wounded in the shoulder
do not think we will leave our present posi-
tou for several days yet. As TO what We will
do, you know as much about il as / do. The
boys are all WELL you can tell their friends
When any of them are sick will give their
names and particulars. G. NJ. FoUKE.
We have also an extract of a letter from NJ.
F. Halderman, of Company G, sth regiment
sent us by Mrs. H..
Army before Richmond July 0, 1862
Directly after landing our Division
was put ON the advance and has remained there
ever since. This will make the eighth day that
our division has been advancing. ] don't know
how much longer We will remain here; we shall
have no objections to being relieved. The great
er part of our regiment is on duty day and night
The eve Of our arrival we were put ON picket
guard, the following morning relieved, only to
face the enemy. We were then marched two
miles, when the rebels opened fire on us but
they soon discovered that Shields men were
ready to receive them The rebels had nine reg
imcnts drawn up in line of battle, but as soon as
they found Shields division in the rear they
skedaddled. There were few shots fred at us
which did but little damage. Two men were
shot at my side, one in the arm, the other just
below the right breast, and another had close
call, ball passing through his canteen, which
hung by his side But weat Is the difference as
long as are Just missed. There have been
several balloon reconnoisances since our arrival
but whether they gained any information is
more than | know. The boys are all we'll
Direct as usual to Shields Division, via Wash
ington, d. @. M. F. HALDERMAN.
