OF the Army of the Union Can
Our rcorrespOndcnt"C )" whose excellent
letter from South Carolina appeared in
yesterdays paper, sent US another copy of
the famous little Camp Kettle, yesterday
NO. this time. The Kettle is still "pub-
iished every opportunity by the Field and
Staff of the Roundhead Regiment, Col.
Leasure commanding" We infer that. for
an out of the way paper, published only
Oy opportunities, the Kettle is a prosper
Gus sheet, judging from the following
notice:
"PATRoNAGE.-Our present edition of
the CamP Kettle is four thousand and
keeping printing away.
"Ihere seems to be no limit to the de-
mand, but there is limit to our ability to
supply it. We have mo timc to look after
thlnES, placed as we are on the frontier
but, If we had such timct we would omen
q correspondence with somebody, TO for
ward us a portable Pres3,' that would en-
eole us to print larger paper aud print
faster"
We hope that somebody will send the
Kettle portable press" whatever that
may menn-for it is paper that in the
language of prospectus fought to be in Tue
hands of everybody"
In another place the Katie (bcing blac?,
of course) makes the following reference to
TO itself and the pecu}iarities of its situo-
ton:
"This number of the Camp EctlIe is the
first Black Republican paper (nnd for
that matter, we believe, the first ncwsna.
per OF any kind( ever Published in the city
of Beaufort. 1t is one of the signs of the
times from which we may infer that the
world, slow old coach that it is, does
move. One year ago this aristocratic
and eXcrucintingly select little city
would have been hot place for the
publication of the Cdmp Kettle, and the cit
izens dwelt secure from the inroads of .vilc
Yankees with their steam engines and
printing presses, disturbing the 'patrarchal
order of things in general. But the Yam
KEGS are here, the steam engine and the |
printing press are here, and the Camp Ket-
lie is here, along with its editors and pub.
fishers, the ubiquitous Roundhcads, but
where are the citizens that dwelt so secure
ly year ago Z Echo would have answer
ed, but Cuttec takes the word out of her
mouth and answers, "a ruuniu' like dc deb
BILE ober to dc main land.'''
The Kettle is so full of good things that
we hardly know what to select. We are
like the bee, 'smothered in the houey."-
Concerning the weather there is ~ well
turned paragraph. This is it,
at seems strange to us Northern van
dals, here in Beaufort, to receive letters
from dear ones Mt home, telling us ofsleigh
rides, skatings and cOastiugs, while we are
sitting before our open windows, in one of
the deserted palaces, surrounded by shrub
By green as the leaves of June, and the air
filled with the fragrance of roses that
bloom all around US.
GAS we write, two vases filed with flow
Prs of every color, gorgeous rs the dreams
Of fairy land, stand before us, and their
graceful forms and brilliant hues, seduce
our eyes anon to gaze on their blushing
beauties. Ah land of the Sunny South,
where summer fingers i'll the lap of winter,
and impatient spring with hurrying steps,
resumes her region of roses. Eden was
scarce mores fair; but Eden, too, had IN
evil spirit, that seduced its happy citizens
and lured them to their ruin. That evil
spirit was the first .secessionist."
Here is a specimen of the Camp Kettles
wit. 1t Is not bad
"That Internal imp of ours is always a
fooling somebody. A dispute had arisen
amongst group of soldiers around one of
tho Camp fires the other night, in relation
to what we were going to do next. Some
said nething and some an other. Humphi
said the devil we are going to do what
certain friend of mine said he was going to
do, when he climbed up ever &C. high lad
der and into the window of a house on
FIRE. And what was that inquired one of
the unsophisticated. Going to save An

dangerous to ask that youker the deccntest
possible kind of question. lie snaps

Here is also another specimen of pretty
good wit.
"PEXNsYLvANIA l3TH"-"We have re-
| ceived n copy of this little half brother of
ours, which is born of the old Thirteenth,
Pennsylvania Regiment lO2, new style,
Col. Rowley commanding, stationed near
the Federal city. Capt. J. Heron Foster
of Company a stands God father to it and
is training it up in the way it should go,
and when we next hear from II we hope to
hear that he has trained it tc hunt its liv-s
ing among the M0n-asses (Mnnassas) of
Virginia"
Wayman &, Son, of Pittsburgh, received
the following handsome puff in the Kettle:
"Last week two largo boxes were re-
ceived by the Roundhead Regiment, from
Wayman & Son, of Pittsburgh, Pa. On
opening them they were found to contain
Ifeveral thousand packages of plantation
