propose to give you an account of things as
they have taken place in Camp, and will begin
about the oath of July, at Clouds Mills The
night previous, while on dress-parade, we were in
formed that we TO march the next morning
consequently we were aroused at three o'clock A
M, got our breakfast, struck our tents and began
the march at five o'clock--not a soul in the lepi-
ment knowing our destination; and, by the way.
we we ordered to take forty rounds OF cartridges
with us aud this order yon may rest assured caused
no little sensation among the boys. They began
to think they were in for it. and were all anxious
TO have their full compliment Of cartridges, each
man lnanliesting good degree of courage Our
march however was short. We took the boat at
Alexandria aud went to Washington there we
took the common car for the soders-freight cars
Of course,--and started towards lIarper's Ferry
We having no right to the road, were obliged 10
wait for all other trains, consequently we were
kept ON the road two days and nights. and finally
brought up at Winchester, Va, where we still
remain. No one was disposed to find fault. but

FROM THE SIXTH REGIMENT.
CAMP NEAK HAKRIsoN' LANDING. !
JANE, RIVER. Va. Aug.

Mr.. EDrToR:-rhe time since last wrote
ha. been fully occupied in fighting and en-
renchi0g During the retreat, the Sixth
regiment shared fully in it, burdens and bat
ties, and since we came here we have been
constantly employed in throwing up earth
works and ,lashing down timber, wnen we
were not doing picket or guard duty. SO
constantly and steadily have we been engaged
and Of such poor quality has been our food
that many of us have been made sick Yes
terday we had battalion duli, aud 1871 men
belonging TO our regiment appeared on pa
rade To be sure there are more men in
camp and a few on Picket-perhaps 4O-but
the number on drill show how few effective
men we have to depend upon in case we should
be suddenly called on to resist an attack.
During the disasters Of the last of June,
our regiment lost nearly the whole of their
shelter tents, aud they have never been sup
piled us, which seems to be neglect on the
part Of some one. We are wholly without
shelter save what we can make Of our blank
ets-exposed alike to the scorching sun, and
the terrific showers so frequent on the
james River
Our food consists of the three simple kinds
of army ratons, viz hard bread, saltpetre-
beef and greasy coffee When | take up a
paper and read that "the Quartermaster Gen
eral has decided to furnish the army with veg
etables fresh from the Northern MARKET" it
makes me wish he would. We acknowledge
the receipt of some potatoes once, and then
we were so diseased for vegetables that we
late them skins and all !" While we are
waiting for renlorcements it does seem to me
that we might be made more comfortable.-
Still l am willing to bde my time in hope
that the future will bring forth something to
increase our comfort and ambition. 1t is a
dull routine during this excessive hot weather,
to go on picket guard once in four days and
shovelling or chopping the other three, with
the squaid food we receive.
Summer complaint prevails to cousidera-
BILE extent, and many are suffering with fe-
vers. Fred Swift Quartermaster Sergeant,
died OF typhoid fever July %. His remains
were embalmed and sent home For some
time past the weather has been very warm.
Yesterday we had mild rain

FRON YLCKSRURGH

New York, Aug. 3.
The Tribnne's correspondent with the feet
off Vicksburgh, gives an interesting account
Of concerted plan to cut out and destroy
the rebel gunboat Arkansas, but through some
misunderstanding on the part Of Farragut and
Davis, only part of the plan was carried out.
This was, attacking the rebel gunboat by Col
Ellet with his ram Queen of the West, which
was done in splendid style, Col. Elet striking
the Arkansas just aft Of her side guns, put hay-
ing by force Of circumstances to stem the cur
rent, the blow was not so efIcctual as was
wished. The supporting guns failed to draw
the fire of the batteries, which were all dir.
ected against Colonel Ellet and his daring
craft, but he managed to escape without
being sunk, although the Queen of III,
West was made complete wreck by rebel
shells and shots. Not one Of his crew wer,
killed. This is considered as one Of tn,
daring and gallant ftes of the war, which
if well supported, would have resulted in tn,
capture of the rebel craft.
The same CORES pondeut states that refugee
say that the rebels have nearly completed tw,
more formidable boats in ' AGO river, whicl
will soon come down the river
The correspondent states that Commodor
Davis hotlla is in most awkward posi- ior
and might without difficulty be swept from
the river by such agencies as the enemy i,
said to possess.

Yesterday afternoon serious disturbance
occurred at the tobacco factory of Watson &
Loriard, Brooklyn, caused by the effects OF
some OF the lTishmen to drive out the colored
employees OF the factory, of whom there are
a large number. The assailants broke in the
doors and windows and attempted to set the
building on FIRE; but failing in this, they
rushed up stairs to attack the negroes who
had taken refuge in the upper stories. The
latter had Just driven the lrishmen out. when
detachment of policemen arrived who be-
gun clubbing the negroes but discovering
their mistake, they attacked the lrishmen.- -
