CAMP NEAR HARRIsoN's LAND
ING, VA, July 30th, 1862
FRIEND EARLE Il take the present
opportunity to pen you a few words in
relation to passing events in old Vir-
ginia.
But very few days have elapsed since
] arrived back to camp, and but little
has transpired of interest enough to write
about The Vernon: Brigade is en-
camped about two miles from the Land
ing, have a very pleasant location, and
excellent water for this part of the coun-
try A.; much better camping ground and
water than we have ever had on the pc
ninsula before, which will serve to i'm
prove the health OF many who have sick
ened by laying in the swanps and drink
ing the miserable water about the Chick
ahominy river. We are fortifying the
positions which we hold, but the fortif-
cations will never be used. The rebels
will never attack US here. They tried
once and failed, lost their battery and
eight hundred men, and it would be
worse than useless for them to make
second attempt. 1t will be some little
time ere we move from here, think
from what can learn, probably not 10
til few warm days have passed at
least. The brigade has done consdera-
BILE fatigue duty here; but l think 1t Is
pretty much over till we make another
move. Our daily routine is now as tot
lows, viz: Revilee, half past five, coffee
same time; company drill at fifteen
minutes to six breakfast at fifteen MIN
utes to seven; guard mounting at @
picket 8; dinner -; supper fifteen
minutes past five; battalion drill M"
past five; dress parade 7 +; tattoo 3; "e
army have had little or no bread since
we came on to the peninsula, except
hard crackers but nearly ererg comps

He was brought TO Irasburgh and placed
under keepers. As the Craftsbury vol
unteers were passing his house a few
days ago, he hurrahed for JEFF. Davis
and said he ''hoped they would all get
killed in the first battle" If it is moi
unlawful to shoot buzzards, we recon.
mend that the volunteers make target

and brought him forward, so that the
fight for the nomination was made be.
tween two cold, blooded agents, and as
both failed to get it, substantial justice
was done though it was unfortunate that
Polk was the man selected for the can
ddacy. InlS48, Mr.. Van Buren, sought
to prevent Gen. Cass's nomination, and
falling OF success, he bolted,' and placed
himself at the head of the New York
g barnburners," who would not support
Gen. Cass, and who made ridiculous pre-
tensions to beng opposed to slavery =
What was ridiculous in itself, however,
became as grave as the grave when a
union was effected between the New
York barnburners and the New Eng
land and northwestern freesOilers. Til,
coalition was consummated at Buffalo,
Mr.. Van Buren, being nominated for the
presidency, and Mr.. c. f. Adams for the
vice presidency. Not one electoral vote
was obtained for the Buffalo ticket, and
nobody expected that one could be got
for it; but Mr.. Van Buren, accomplished
his purpose all the same, which was to
Iprevent tle success of the democratic
tick ct in New York or Pennsy lvania, one
or .he other Of which states it was neCe5-
sary that Gen. Cass should carry, if he
would succeed, but neither of which wO'd
aid to carry him into the presidential
chair. Having thus helped the whirIi-
zig Of time to bring about reVcnges, Mr.
Van Buren retired from public life, with
the consciousness of having fulfilled all
his dutics-to himself. That he cared
not a straw about the subject Of slavery,
in l848, was established in subsequent
years, for he supported the fugitive slave
law, and also the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, both far worse pro-slayery
measures than any that found favor with
the democracy in 1913. He made use
of pro.slavery influences to crafty his
ambition, and Of anti slavery influences
to crafty his revenge, and on both occa-

Staff Officers.

Staff OFFICERS.
We are not without some realizing
sense of the troubles and perpiexities
which besct a man who has the power OF
appointing to numerous offices. Nor are
we at all disposed TO crlicise with sever
ty the manner in which either our past
or our present governor has exercised
the power Of appointing staff officers in
the volunteer regiments. Yet we cannot
help noticing that four times as many off
GERS have been appointed on the east
side OF the mountain as on the west;
which, taken in connection with the fact
that the past and present governors both
live on the east side Of the mountain,
presents a curious coincidence, to say no
more. Aud if there are eight staff off
GERS in Windham county, and only one
from Chi;tcnden, We are certainly dis
posed to believe that it is only because
the Windham county people are much
