one can fulfill his duty equally as

an order that every soldier that is

There are about four hundred

whom are secesh, and moro keep
coming in every few days. 1t is
needless for me to say that the Con

our own men are, in every respect.
There are but few of them even

to return again to take up arms

CAMP HATCH, WINCHESTER,
VA, JUNE Is, 1862.

A. - DNF 10, 1OOAs
| FRIEND EABLE,-To-day l rcceiv
ed your papers which you arc so
kind to send to US, and in glanc-
ing over my last letter which APP
peared in the paper, saw that by
a slight mistake, one sentence was
made to read badly.
1t reads, II ordered the Co. to
run back out Of range"
1t should read I ordered the Co.
to "feia Jacb' out Of range. There
is no such tactics as "rua back" but
"rcia bach' occurs very frequently.
Probably in this movement some
of my men or horses were saved,
Tor as soon as the Company was I'M
der the brow Of the hill, the rebel
gmners ceased throwing solid shots
and sent us shells which went over
and did no harm.
We are again in Va, and encamp-
ed about half a mile out of the town
of Winchester. Four companies
have been detailed with 1t. Col
Kellogg to go to Snicleryille Gap.
and Co H have also been detailed
away, but am not informed where.
The other five companies, including
company a. are here with the Col.
Our Companies have been reduc-
ed since we first entered the valley,
greatly; my company numbers more
effective men than any Co. in the
Regiment. | left several men at
Hager3tOwn, Nd, who will be dis
charged and some who will proba-
bly, rejoin their Co. Among the lat
ter is Sergeant Mason, one of our
very best soldiers.
[ am extremely happy to be able
to report to the friends of those
missing from the Co. and the pub
lie, that Drew and Mallory are on
their way home, and will probably
reach there before this will.
They were saved by the exertions
Of the Widow Rhodes where they
were captured. She was true to
her pledge, that "she would save
them" and is deserving of great
credit.
The people of Middletown, where
we were so long stationed, went to
every place where were wounded
Federal soldiers, and sought for
members of Co. Il, j" as deserving of
their especial attention for their
manly and soldierly conduct while in
their town.

fort was out of reach of our gunboats,
several Of whose shell, owing to some
mistake, fell among our own men. The
guns of the fort were of longer range.
Our killed and wounded were mostly
brought off the field. Many of the lat
ter are now in the General Hospital at
this post, and are well cared for. Our
forces still hold their original position
Gen. Benbam made the attack for the
reason that it was apparent that he must
either fight then or few days latter,
when the enemy's position would be
much strengthened, or be driven from
Stone and abandon this key to advance
on Charleston. Had Gen.Stevens been a.
bic to get all his supports of his own wing,
as Gen. Benham expected, up in season,
there is every reason to believe that the
rebels would have been swept from the
fort. Gen. Benham had ordered the
muskets loaded, but not capped, before
starting for the night attack which he
intended this to be, which order was not
carried out by some of the regiments,
consequently, they were halted to load
under heavy fire. PULASKI

the great intruder. But let me ask
why should they think so? Why
should they when they begun the
war themselves ? Let me ask how ?
They began by dcfying the Federal
Constitution, and followed this act
Of treason by establishing Consti-
tuition or Government of their own,
adapted to all the cxigencies and re-
quirements of their situation We
on the other hand started to punish
them, not alone because they had Vi
oIatcd the Constitution, but was in
duty bound so to do in order to obey
it ourselves, and felt resolved that
they should be forced to render the
same obedience.
The weather here is very warm,
although often cooled by heavy thun-
der showers, which are quite fire.
quent here. Last Sunday during a
heavy thunder storm five men were
drowned out in the Bay. They had
gone out for the purpose of fishing,
and while thus employed the storm
come on; their sail being up their
boat capsized, and before help could
reach them they were drowned.
Three Of them were taken out and
the other two have not been found
yet.
On Friday last, private John Nc
Mayhem of the 99th N. Y. was hung
here on the Rip Raps, for the murder
of private Michael Delane of the
same Regiment. The prisoner plead
ed guilty to the charge Of willfuI
murder, and the plea having been
confirmed by the Court, he was SEN
fenced to be hung. He appeared in
different as to his fate, even to his
last moment, and also refused to
make any explanation of the object
of his act which therefore remains a
secret. Immediately after the exc
cution, general order was read
renting the sentence to be shot
of two of the Tooth Regt, N. Y, for
sleeping on their post. The life of
a soldier is considered a small mat
ter in these times.

won. God grant the next may be as
successful.
Yours, HARRINGTON.
