New bern, n. u, March ~
How long we shall stay in this place cannot say
should Judge not very long, however, from what the
General says. Yesterday came in under a
flag Of from rebels General Burnside saying
they would give him aud his forces thirty days
the place. II done in that time they would take
it. The General sent the messenger back with the
ply.--"I will have the Union Army IA Raleigh, your
capital before the thirty days IS up BY that do not
think we 10 remain here long
There is large body Of troops coming reinforce
this place that gets here and gets ready
shall move agiin-probably to Goldsboro', Of
here. However, there is no knowing anything about
this eXpi1ition until it is under way. The General
is man Of few words but when he gets ready move
fhiagS gowhen he gets where the work is be done,
he goes at II and does il.
You would little think him the commander Of this d-
vision you him around with his check cotton
shirt and black slouch hat, with cord half the size OF
your finger for baud but such is General Burnside,
and he is almost worshpped by every in the divs
ion.
The people that ran away from here on our approach
fast returning TO their homes aud business They
say they told the Yankees would murder them when
they Some Of them in their haste did stop
to lock their houses, aud left everything in them in
one Of the dwellings we found the tables set ready for
a meal"

"The IY4chiaan believes that dead rebels oil "mar.
tyred heroes."- Freeman.
No, Sir. We never said or intimated
such thing; and you know it. We were
speaking Of the soldiers who lost their lives at
Pittsburgh, and so was the freeman when he
commenced; but he now tries to crawl out Of
a mighty tight place by misrepresenting what
we said. Other men than soldiers die reb-
els die who never saw a battle field, and are
neither "martyrs" or 'heroes." We do be-
lieve that those who peril their lives in deadly
conflict and are killed on the battle field,
the Union men in righteous cause, the reb-
els in an unrighteous one-are "martyred
heroes" The editor of the freeman, how
ever, appears to scout such idea. Will he

the most disagreeable and uncomfort
able camp in which we have been quar-
tered. 1t is fact very wildly i'm
pressed upon mY mind that considerable
difference exists between Elysian fields
and military camps-dt any rate, IN aoet
aoeather-and 1 shall hold to this view
until [ try ''the fields and find them
aoorse than camps. But bad as was ''the
situation" we worried through six long
weeks here, when, thanks to the "powers
that be, we were ordered to Fortress
Monroe. We had three days march
through Maryland to Annapolis. Here
we took steamer to the "Fortress,' where
we arrived on the 24th of November,
and where we still remain, masters, as
we think, of "the situation" This last
you would certainly believe, were you
to get peep at this great Fort. 1t en-
closes forty to fifty acres of land, and
has large number of ''great guns so
arranged that any one may be made to
protect three sides, one after the other.
And they are not "Pop guns" either;
none are less than sirty-tsoo ponnde,s!
Camp Hamilton is far the pleasantest
camp have yet been in. 1t is level as
floor, and large enough to camp and
drill at least fifty thousand men.
Since we have been here, "drilling"
has been the order of the day. | don't
think we have missed more than ten
days since we came here, although it is
in mid winter.
We have seen no active service yet,
unless the reconnaissance of Big Bethel
can be called active. We were certainly
somewhat excited, although in no real
danger. 1t is generally supposed here.
that Burnsides' Expedition is destined
for Yorktown. If this proves true, we
will soon have enough of war and wars

who had been working in Buckner's S
army shoeing mules, but not liking
Buckner's progress northward, made up
their minds to go without him. One
of them is now working for our Chap
lain, and tho other for Capt. Stedman,
at fair wages.
My next tale is not so pleasant to
think Of: Our Sutler' clerk, returning
from visit home, started back with a
darkey cook, but in Louisville some
body asked Mr.. Darkcy for his free
papers, which, not producing, he was
left in the hands of Mr.. Somebody
Mr.. Suffers clerk being averse to
trouble, said or did nothing-did not
even inquire Mr.. Somebody 5 authority.
Mr.. Darkey is probably spirited off into
slavery ere this.
Although safely distant from the
enemy, We still see many of the disagree
able features Of war. Last week We
had several accidents. One Of our men
received a pistol ball from some un-
known quarter, but is not dangerously
wounded. One of the 18th Ohio fell
Oh Inc CarS anu Was 1uSlduGiy hllleu-'
The 37th Indiana lost 8 men within 36
hours, many OF them swelling up and
dying suddenly, causing apprehensions
of foul work. The Surgeon has since
been suspended from duty, and the
Colonel is in arrest Their Regiment
would vote almost unanimously to have
them suspended from tree.
The health of the 18th Ohio is not
improving, and the same can be said of
the whole Division, although we have
plenty of food and raiment, and as much
care taken of us as is possible, under
the circumstances.
Our rations consist of crackers, corn
meal, hominy, potatoes, beef, pork,
srsG coffee, molasses and salt. We
are putting up an oven and will soon
have good bread. Our Company makes
considerable money by not wasting
their rations, and by making their own
candles from the tallow saved from the
beef. I hope to write from Nashville
next time. CHARLIE.

The Flood.

The papers along the river are in &C.
stacies over their "big flood" One
would think, to read them, that they,
respectively, supposed that no place but
theirs could get up "thing of the
kind" Now we assure our cotempora-
ries Of Marietta, Parkersburg, or "any
other town, that we can do up that kind
fashow here as we'll as they can. And
We did it, too. For full detail of the
rise, progress and fall thereof, with the
incidents attending it, our readers are re
ferred tos very interesting-in fact elo-

From our KY. Correspondent.
CAMP OF 18th REG. O. ",
BACON CREEK, KY,
Jan. Is, 1862

Jan. Is, 1862.
It stopped raining Saturday, and
Sunday forenoon was SO warm, that we
were indulging in fond hopes of less
mud, less sickness, and a speedy ad-
vance into rebeldom; but in the after
noon a very hard wind and rain storm
came up, followed by the coldest Mon
day known to the Oldest inhabitant of
Camp Jefferson, and we have almost
ceased to hope. But rain, shine or
freeze, through mud or lead, with or
without transportation, hungry or foun-
dered, we are anxious to 90 ahead
Whether it is because Buckeyes" are
more dangerous in spring, or on ac-
count of lack of transportation, or
something to eat, that we do not 60
ahead, we don't know, and it is useless
to guess. This much we do know, that
we are tired of staying here, and if they
will let US strike ahead we will manage
somehow, by hook or by crook, to find
transportation and food. But our
Generals, of course, know best, and we
will find, perhaps, that our waiting
but patients no loss.
Camp news is like the Meigs Co. De-
linquent List-more interesting to those
whose names do not appear there. but
not particularly interesting to anyb ody.

with contrabands.

COrh, Rye, and Oats, on Subscrip-
tom.

We return our sincere thanks to our
subscribers for the promptness with
which many of them have paid up ar
rearages since the commencement of the
present volume. We are much graft
fed, also, at the steady increase of our
subscription list. But, in consequence
of the "hard times" and our own lack
of energy in collecting, we find ON our
books, at the close of the year, a gerry
large amount outstanding, which we par
ticularly need, and which correct bust
ness policy requires to be settled up as
soon as possible. And to enable al. our
friends to close their arrearages, we will
take Conn, RYE, and OATS, at market
price, for all debts due the Office, and
for new subscriptions. No one need
fear to bring in their produce, supposing
that this call is only for limited guam
tity. We will take all that comes, un
til further notice.

Secretary Chase has refused payment
on all claims where suspicion of fraud,
as to the procuring of the contract, ex
lists. The Investigating Committee of
Congress has revealed the most out
rageous frauds ever attempted, and the
probability is that some of those who ex-
pected to pocket their millions out of
the misfortunes f the country will be
disappointed In the midst of the trea-
son and avarice-the swindlers and
thieves who prey upon the public purse,
it is a consolation to know that the
Treasury Department is in the hands of
one whose integrity no living man has
shown himself base enough to impeach.
Il all these States, there is not single
citizen, whether in or out of Office, who
stands higher in the confidence of all the
people, than Salmon p Chase.

On the l4th inst of disease of the heart,
at his residence, in Pomeroy, Judge IL. L. os
BORN, aged 81 years, months and days.
We were promised suitable obituary no.
tice, to accompany the above announcement,
but have not received it. We regret the dis
appointment, as, having waited until the hour
Of going to press, we have not time to supply
the omission.
In the death of Judge OSBORN, the commu-
nifty has lost one of its best citizens, whose
life of transformations usefulness was passed
without blemish; respected for his virtue, he
has left to his family a name that will draw
to them, in the hour of their bereavement, the
sympathies of all who knew him. We state a
simple truth il, saying that the deceased left
no enemies, as his upright walk, and unques-
toned integrity furnished no food for enmi-
ties. ...
We hope, still, to receive fitting notice of
tile deceased, from hand competent to pay
the tribute due to his memory.

last week, for the reason that the print

they would not s'run the machine" "
The only excuse they pretended to have
for their refusal, was the fact that the

CULTIVATE COOP LooKs.-A sound NOR
alist says: ut is to be admitted that the grace
OF the human aspect may be in no small
measure enhanced by bestowing a little
pains upon it. You, youthful matron, when
you took your little children to have their
photographs taken, and when their nurse,
in contemplation of that event, attired them
in their most tasteful dresses, and arranged
their hair in its prettiest curls, you know
that the little things looked a great deal
better than they do on common days. 1t is
pure nonsense to say that when beauty is
unadorned it is adorned the most. Sir
Bulwer Lytton, in his earlier writings, was
accustomed to maintain that just as it is
mans duty to cultivate his mental powers,
SO is it his duty to cultivate his bodily ap
pearance. And, doubtless, all the gifts of
nature are talents committed to US to be
improved; they are things intrusted to US to
make the best of. 1t may be difficult to
fix the point at which the care of personal
appearance in man or woman becomes ex-
eessive. 1t does SO unquestionably when it
engrosses the mind to the neglect of more
important things. But suppose that oil
reasonable people now believe that scrupu-
lous attention TO personal cleanliness, fresh
ness, and neatness, is a Christian duty.
The days are past almost every where in
which piety was held associated with dirt"
