Some men are opposed to letting the blacks
fight say arm them, and give TO them their
freedom Use every power in the nation TO crush
the rebellion. They are instruments which God
has given us TO save the nation. Let US save
the nation and be free.

The health Of the regiment is good, and the
boys are all in good spirits ready to attend to
the deliverance Of the rebels. Capt. Bartlett is
absent from Regimental Camp, attending Divis-
ion Court Martial of which our Captain is
member. Lieut.. Tyler is detailed from the
company and is in command of company II.
We cannot but miss him, he was 50 large. Lieut.
Kessler is in command of the company, and at
tends promptly to duty. He is kind, generous.
and faultless. The men Of our company are all
well. DR.. J. III. Cory is en-route home to get
examined before the Medical Board at Column
bus. He goes back well recommended. He is
a favorite in our Regiment. He is truly deser-
wing Success to the Doctor.
We are all anxiously awaiting the return OF
Col. Gibson. He is loved and respected by ev-
cry man in his command.
Trusting these few lines win be acceptable,
ask to subscribe myself yours, for the car.
