Joseph Jennings, young machinist of

Messrs. Baldwin's locomotive works, was, at
the commencement Of the war, at Nashville
and being impressed into the rel el service
was taken prisoner at Fort Donelson, and is
now confined at Camp Chase, Columbus,
Ohio. He has written to his parents in
Philadelphia, but received no reply, and
therefore addresses the Philadelphia Inquirer,
under date of the list instant, that it may
publish ard make his situation known to his
family. We give an extract from his own
earnest words
"When | saw how things were going

would not let me off, but forced me and all
of US machinists to join the army, and we
had such an awful time, hardly any clothes

we Joined the rebels Il; we had to do it or be
shot. After being drilled for three months,
we were all sent to the woods for the
winter, and had only coarse tow tents that
let the rain in, and nothing to eat only corn
bread and sweet potatoes with little fat
bacon. At the fight at Fort Donclson,
was fortunate not to be killed l only had
wound in the leg by slug and now it is
almost well. l thought the only way to
hear from my mother or brother or some of
my friends, was to write you letter, and
get you to publish me, and to ask my friends
to send out certificates here to me so as | can
show / am not a rebel then | can be dis
charged and can work my way homo on

gets in your paper, know some of my
friends will see it, and make dear old mother
so happy that am not dead. Oh, SIR, if
you could have seen how many poor souls
were killed, you would have suffered Do,
sir, interest yourself about me so can get

the record, and thus see and know for him
self that he has been wrongly informed.
| have lived about month on hospital
fare in Cumberland, at one of the best reg
ulated hospitals in that place, and kno,c
from personal experience and observation,
that the food we get here, is served us just
as plentyully, and of as good quality as was
furnished us in Cumberland and why it is
that there are men ~ who will circulate
such malicious falsehoods | cannot conjec-
ture.
In all my xperience-and | have had con-
siderable during the past ten months Of camp
field and hospital life--I have invariably
observed that those who complain most Of
their food, are those who but seldom if ever
had better before entering the service Now
it is not to be expected that VIC can fare as
well here as at home yet many seem to
think they ought to be fully supplied Nth
all they coula like to hare-and because they
are not, complain of being starved, of get
ting little or nothing, and even that of a
very inferior quality. Any person that has
been in the army, any person who knows
anything Of camp life, will know at once
how these petty tales originated; will know
at once that all the stories set aHoat, are not
to be taken as gospel.
Were it not for wearying your patience,

Of the charge, and more satisfactory to all

DIsAGREEADLE.-Thew weather for the past
few days has been very disagrecable-rain,
hail and snow has fallen in great quantities,
and has made walking horrible indeed, even
on good pavements. We would recommend
that a general scrubbing of the pavements
in this town should take place Immediately
or as soon as possible. Our opinion is that
if one thousand barrels of water were used
in cleansing the pavements of this city, it
would make n decided improvement in its
appearance. We heartily hope that the
merchants and citizens will carry out our
recommendation.
