those brave and selfsacrIfcing men who are cheer
fully enduring the many unnecessary (as we'll as
those which are unavodable) privations and hard

The extract in the last Standard from the Rich
mond Dispatch reminds me of what | witnessed on
our recent "cui dOnO?" marches to Greenville and
Rocky Rum near Newbern. On our return from
Greenville when the snow was falling fast and the
wind and sleet driving in. pitess blasts marked
blood in many a footstep! Barefoot, thinly clad,
scantily fed, many soldier faced the storm and
bore without murnur such hardshps as we read
of in the history of Valley Forge We rested one
night at this place and marched towards Newbern.
1t was sadly pleasing sight to see those gallant
men, weary and war-worn uncompainingly Shout
der knapsack and musket, and again take up the
line of march. Although favored with good wealth
er, the sutferinSs of many severe. Tracks
marked uith blood, were not uncommon. In the
name of humanity, Liberty, our Country and our
COP, how long are these things to be so? If men
must make prohtless marches of $50 miles in ten
days, let speculation be stopped and let them have
shoes Thank God we have a Governor who can
look at such matters in their true highland public
