CAMP LETTER.
NEWPORT News, Va, I


DEAR SIR On last Friday the grand
army with Gen. Mcclellan at the head
made an onward move towards Yorktown.
At Great Bethel they had a skirmish with
the enemy who retreated. Our troops had
to rebuild a bridge that the rebels had de-
stroyed, which retarded their progress for
about two hours, they then proceeded on
ward to within about four miles of York
town; where they had an engagement
with the enemy, the contest lasting from
Saturday morning until Monday evening,
when he left his intrenchments and fell
back toward Yorktown. l doubt not by
the time write again will be able to say
Yorktown is in possession of the Union
troops; and further, l expect in a very
short period of time to have the pleasure
of saying Richmond is ours; also, of say.
ing the war is successfully closed and
can return to loved ones at home. thinl
our company will 60 towards the scene O
action before long, but when, cannot tel
as we find nothing out until the time i
transpires, truly has it been said that

war matters are concerned. You may hav.
noticed an article in Sandusky pape
from one of the boys in our company tha
he had killed Rebel: also, that one of ou
boys had been shot, / will here say tn

enemy lay thickest. Here there had been
a cannonade of graspeshot and balls. Trees
a foot in diameter had been cut in two.
Nothing seemed to be unscathed. Two
rebels lay disemboweled and Drained by a
huge ball, which had apparently slain a
horse beyond. Here lay poor wretch, in
the cleanliness and pallor of apparent de-
composition. I supposed he had died Sun
day; but conceive of my horror when ]
saw that his chest heaved, "as in his breast
the wave of life kept heaving to and fro
A cannon shot had Drained him, but life
still worked in spasm upon his features
Behind me came strange, agonizing cry
it was that of wounded man borne by on
litter. A Kentucky captain was exceed
ingly anxious that should superintend the
burial of an old friend and recent enemy, q
white headed gentleman of the manor born
and | made him some vain pledges. He
said that it would break his wifes heart il
she knew that he was rotting there. How
many hearts will be broken, how many
homes made desolutate, by the last few
hours! One soldiers told me tha; he was
trying TO find the body of his brother, who
might be on the field.
| On the bluff to the south of the Land
ing l stumbled over forty-seven bodies O
the wounded who bad since died. Among
them were a Lieutenant Colonel and
| Major.

A Great Battle Impending.

That a great battle is impending at
Corinth is evident 1t may be that before
this number of our paper reaches our sub
scribers the engagement will have taken
place and the day lost or won. But be that
as it may, we have in three of the Regi-
ments Of the army now before Corinth,
one full company, and at least three or four
parts of companies all from this county.
In view Of this fact and the consequen-
ces that necessarily result frcm an organ
lied battle, what are our citizens doing to-
wards making provisions in advance for
the wounded Other towns and cities are
moving in this matter already-making
provisions for their comfort, collecting sup
plies, engaging nurses, etc. Let Upper
Sandusky and Wyandot county arouse uI
to action, Let meetings be held in every
township without delay. Let committees
be appointed to collect money, Provisions,
and such delicacies as the sick will rel
ish, have them securely boxed and SEN
to the Sanitary Committee at Cincinnati
for the use of those who may fall wound
ed upon the field of battle fighting for ou1
homes and our birth right.

steady step, Notwithstanding storm of
.eaden nail was falling around them.
They never once faltered although un-
der cover Of a heavy fire from the enemy
for hours, and comrades in arms were fall
ling around them like leaves in Autumn.
They have reflected credit upon Wyan-

sustained in their ranks. The following is
