county which voted separation to unit.
The citizens are most intensely secesh, and
but few of them visit our camp, and none
are disposed to talk very much. They are
surly set. Passing around town, l noticed
that almost every house had a piano in, it,
showing that the fair have not neglected
cultivation of that delightful accomplish
ment, music.
Before Gen. Mitchell visited this place on
his way to Huntsville, one of our soldiers,
a sergeant in one of the Ohio regiments,
made his appearance in soldiers uniform,
and, after taking his dinner quietly at The
hotel, he mounted his horse and rode OIL
Speculation was big as to who he really
was; for, as no citizen dreamed that the
General was on his way to the place, the
act of going day or two before the army
was such a bold one, that the secesh con-
cluded our scout was one of Morgan's men,
disguised in Federal uniform, and let him
mass uumolested. After leaving the town,
our friend overlook three wagons, loaded
with bacon, destined for the rebel army.
The sergeant quietly rode up and enquired
where the bacon was being hauled to, and
being answered, to Huntsville, for citizens,
our hero said he had heard that lie often
enough, and Immediately ordered the three
white men who were in charge of the
wagons to drive them close together, so that
he could burn them, and to be very quick,
as he had not time to lose. Secesh were
reluctant to obey, but the click of carbine
trigger reminded them that forthwith it
was best to obey. The wagons and con-
tents were consumed by fire, and our bold
adventurer pursued the even tenor of his
way" upmolested.
a member of Co. G, of our regiment,
| visited Fayetteville the other day, and
while passing on the street, lady conde-
scended to speak to him. After some mo-
| ments of conversation, our gallant private
very politely invited said secesh feminine
to visit camp and take dinner with us, to
which sue replied, that she would be pleased
| to do So but for the fact that Federal SOL
diers did not have suitable diet for a lady,
like the Southern army had. To this Dick
/ replied: I'VE have JUST the same that the
rebels have; we took it from hem at Nash
Vile and Clarksville." The fair one
81 wilted."
Tomorrow we take up the line of march
for Huntsville, and in future, or till further
notice, our friends can write US at that
place.
This country is infested with bands of
secesh cavalry, said to have been turned
| out from Corinth because of the scarcity OF
forage. Every few days deserters from the
army at Corinth pass our pickets. They
tell doleful stories of the dissatisfaction OF
the soldiers about TIE conscript law. Sol
diers who enlisted for one year are informed
by Beauregard that they must remain two
years longer, and consequently much dis
satisfaction is said to exist. This am in
clined to believe to be true, but people
who can be so easily deluded, will be in a
great measure held ssill longer by the pow
err of such men as Beauregard.
In Nashville, Tenn, rebel money sells
fifteen dollars for ten of Uncle Sans
"green backs" or it is freely offered by
some at that discount.
If we can fight our way to Gen. Hal
leck's army, a glorious work win be done
and l verify believe that we will, under
Gen. M do that very thing in "good or
DER" He is surely the right man in the
right place bold, fearless, and daring.
We have here daily mail now, SO please
send US the JOURNAL occasionally.
Yours, respectfully,
