Columbus was 10 our possession. The

sons in town or country having articles such
as partly worn blankets, sheets, &C., which
they are willing to donate for this purpose

sired that ladies who can will attend the

that their help is needed.

Mr.. Botts' Position.

A correspondent recently returned from
Richmond, Va, thus alludes to the position
Mr.. Bolts is now placed in:
When in Richmond saw Mr.. Botts.--
Mr.. Bolts is virtually prisoner iu his own
house. When he gets a chance to speak he
denounces the secession of Virginia, and
says that it was a fatal act, and he hopes
that restoration Of the Union may be
effected. There are some twenty or twen-
ty-fve thousand troops in Richmond, and
there is general apprehension that it will
be attacked and positively captured in some
way by the Union forces, notwithstanding
the rebel army at Manassas.

Letter from the 7and regiment.


DEAR JoURNAL:-Leaving Camp Chase
at o'clock a. m, of Wednesday, the 10th,
VIC bad very tedious and protracted jour
ney to this place, which we reached Satur-
day p. m. too late to debark. Yesterday,
at an early hour the work of debarkation
began, and by noon we were clear of the
boat and had our tents pitched. Our en-.
campment is just on the left bank of the
mouth of the Tennessee river, which here
empties into the Ohio. Tho location is
pleasant one, quite free from mud or water.
/ said we had tedious trip. When
tell You we were four m morta days and nights
on the way, you may infer we did have a
tedious trip. A brief memoranda Of it may
be Of interest.
We left Columbus at Il a. m, in pelt-
/ ing rain, which continued until we approach
ed Cincinnati, arriving about p. M, going
Immediately on board the splendid steamer
Telegraph. AT 9 o'clock We showed off and
gently glided down tho great western trib-
utary of the "father of waters" At Madi.
SOD, Ind, we laid by twelve hours to repair
the engine pump. We reached Louisville
at 2 p. M, where we left the boat and
marched three miles, to get below tho rap
ids. Going through Louisville, we were
; greeted continually with cheers, waving o
flags and every manifestation of JOY and hos
pitality. Arriving at the foot of the rapid
: we again embarked on The steamer Baltic
a Louisville packet of considerable less di
mensions than the Telegraph. Indeed
when the regiment was all on board, there
was not foot Of room left uuoccupied; and
two or three hundred men had to put ur
z with very indifferent accommodations
: Weather during our whole trip, bad. We
+ left Louisville at dusk Of eve the goth; tho
2lst we laid by about fourteen hours at I
: little Hoosier town for coal, and got dowr
as far as Shawneetown, ILL.,, where fog anC
darkness compelled us to lay up for th'

morning of the 22d, which | opino very few
! of us remembered was the birthday of thc
"Father Of his Country" making slow prog
$ ress, we reaching the destination assigned u

Lieut.. Gwin, of the Navy, who command
ed the gunboats that penetrated the Tennes-
see river, as high up as Florence, Alabama
writes aS follows:
What gratifed mo moro than anything
else WAS the strong Union sentiment, as
found to exist in Southern Tennessee, and
Northern Mississippi and Alabama, proof
of which may be found in the fact that l
enlisted for my vessel twenty-five men for
three years, or during the war, 10 Hardin
County Tennessee. And ] do not exag-
geratc when | state to you that had the
lgunboais been able 10 remain longer up
The river, we could have gotten them by
the hundreds. l am satisfied that, coulC
the people in Northern Tennessee, Albam;
and Mississippi be protected in the express
ion of their sympathies and opinions, W.
should find nine out of every ten Unior
men. l am now satisfied chat the backbone
of the rebellion is broken. Tennessee will
be soon redeemed.

Perhaps no man in tho Legislative

credit for this new life lately manifested,
than Senator Wade Of Ohio. How that
man laborsl He acts in the most perfect
harmony, and with all his might and main
with the President. He and Mr.. Stanton
also are on tho most cordial terms, as are
also all the "Commiltee on the Conduct ot
the War" That Committee has passed {
vote Of thanks to Secretary Stanton, ant
will stand by him in his efforts.

sheets in Ohio, which have, for the noncc

both open and sly, insiDuating attacks upon
him, made, calculated to defeat his re-elec.
ton. No lover of his country will breathe
work against that man. His whole soul
is fired with noble zeal for the cause O
the Union, and any one who thinks to make
anything in The Presidents favor by attack
