From the 1st Wisconsin Vols.
CAMP SEAa BOWLING GREEN,
Nov S. 1859.
DEAR TELEGRAPH 1T seems as if it was
our fate to vibrate back and forth through Ken
lucky and Tennessee, with Bowling Green as
our central point. This is the third time we
have had the rather doubtful pleasure of COM
mencing our letters as above But there seems
left to do in Kentucky, and hope this is the
last time we shall see this place till we pass it
on our way home
There were few errors In your report OF the
killed and wounded Mt the late battle, which
if you have not already corrected, you might
now do so. Sampson Mellor, reported as slight
~ wounded was killed dead on the field. jaime
Harkins, reported as killed was wounded in
the head, but not seriously. Those reported
as missing were at the hospitals. assisting the
wounded, and reported to their company as
soon nurses were provided for them. +. ii.
| Stokin, reported as slightly wounded has not
been heard from since the fight. When last
seen he was bleeding protusely, but said he WAS
able to walk without help. He has either wan
dered into some out of the way place and died
or is now prisoner. The former is most pro-
bable suppostion as the prisoners were all pa
rolled the next day.
We have got our tents once more and il
soems some like living, but the weather is very
disagreeable; frosty nights and cold raw WING
all day, with an occasional furry OF rain and
and snow We were reviewed yesterday by
Gen. Rosencrans. The day was very uncom'
comfortable, and some of Us short of winter cloth
ing Nevertheless, the troops made a very
good appearance. The General appears like
| a 90 ahead man, and has already gone farth-
er into the confidence of the army than Buel
in HE covered carriage ever could. AS he pass
ed down the line the second time he spoke 6
few words to us, telling us to make known oul
wants, and he would supply them, hope and
believe he is the man for the place.
How long we SHALL here l do not know.
There is a report in Circulation that we remain
here all winter, but have no doubt we shall
push on rs far as the Cumberland or Tennes-
see before We lay up for winter.
Election day passed of of quietly. There
were many who considered themselves not suf>
iciently posted to be qualified to vote. Out of
1856 votes cast only were democratic. No
wonder that party should have tried to defeat
the plan Of voting in the army.

MEssRs EDITORS In your issue of Nov. 18th
L observed an article, This Verdict of Intelli-
gence,' which attracted my particular attention
and led me TO canvass my own town, and the fol-
lowing is the result Of my investigation:
am personally acquainted with more than two
thirds of the voters of this Township, and know
their political tenets well. do not know a man
who is noted tchisky drinker, but what votes the
democratic ticket. And l regret to say, 1 saw
more than one at the polls on election day, "non
comPuS mentis," from the effects of bad whiskey
AID worse beer
do not know wickedly profaue, sabbath
breaking man but what votes the democratic tick
ct do not know man who cannot read n,
write but what is democrat And very many Of
these noted for their loud talking. and bitter
denunciatiOns of the 'abolitionists an epithe1
borrowed, OF course, from the notorious Chicago
Times, and put into their mouths by their scarce.
y more intelligent brethren l do not know a
man who is opposed to the administration and q
vigorous prosecution of the war, but what votes
the democratic ticket.
On the other hand, do not know professor OF
religion, that votes the democratic ticket dc
not know temperance man that votes the demo-
cratic ticket.
AS regards the absence of moral virtues, do
not know democrat who is professor of religion
or makes practice of attending worship on the
Sabbath These are facts that all intelligent chris
tian men should consider Facts startling in their
character. And should the day ever come when
these men get the political power into heir hands
we may look for return of scenes that character
lied the barbarans during the dark ages. Think
of it, intelligent men! An uneducated. whisky
drinking, Sabbath breaking, Heaven profaning
administl ation!! God have mercy on our Nation
1t would be better to fall now-fal fighting for the
eternal principles of justice and truth, than to go
down in one grand ungodly chaotic smash up, a
by>word aud laughing stock for the nations of the
world But our town is not democratic, thank
God And so long free inst itutions are tolera-
ted, never will be. 1 care not where you go into
the country,if you find moral, church going PEG
pie, you find but few democrats. Modern democ-
racy and religion are two distinct elements they
will not mingle more than oil and water.

PROCLAMATION

To THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN Amidst the
manifold vcissitudes and calamities that have be-
fallen and surrounded us, threatening the life o.
our nation and the lives Of 80 many of its heroic
and noble sons, it peculiarly becomes us to turr
with grateful hearts to the Supreme Being for the
many blessings we have enjoyed, and the at11c'
tions we have been spared.
The horrors and devastations of war, SO fercey
raging around us, have not touched the border oil
our State; excepting the brave men who have raj
lied around countrys flag in this time of peril
our citizens lave been permitted to pursue their
peaceful avOcatons our harvest though not as
abundant as Providence sometimes has pleased to
grant us, has yet well compensated the labor be-
slowed upon it, and we'll filled our houses and
barns the savage tribes upon our border settles
ments 80 threatening at one time to our peace,
have been quieted, and kept under surveillance.
The great cause of our nation, it is true, has not
triumphed yet over its enemies but neither has ii
yet failed the enemy has been driven from the
soil of the loyal States army has been rein>
forced by hundreds of thousands of brave patriot
ic and noble men ready to do battle, and if neces
sources and energies are unimpaired; we have rea-
son TO be hopeful for the future, and therefore
thankful for the past.
The loyalty, honor, and patriotism of the State
of Wisconsin has been nobly sustained by her brave
sons upon every field OF battle where they have
been called upon to vndcate our national flag
The just pride which we feel in the bravery OF our
noble soldiers should fill our hearts with gratitude
TO Almighty God, who has sustained them ia their
hour of trial.
For these and other uncounted blessings which
the infinite goudnes of God has vOuchsafed TO us
during the past year, we should thank Him from
the depth of our hearts. And therefore, and i'll
accordauce with time honored custom, do here
by appoint THURSDAY, THE 9TH DAY OF
NOVEMBER, 1862, AS A DAY OF THANKS
GIVING AND REST, and recommend to the PEG
pie of this State on that day to abstain from secu-
lar labor, and TO assemble at their places of wor
ship to show their grateful hearts to the benefi>
cient Ru er of the Universe, and to pray for a
-peedy suppression of the rebellion, and for peace
to our distracted country.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto sub
scribed my name, and caused the Great
(sEALl Seal OF State to be affixed this 3lst day of
October, A. d. 1862.

Hints to New Recruits.


Hints TO New Recruits.
AS there are a great many who are just en-
tering the service, few words of advice ma y
not be amiss, from one who has had some expe~
rence.
In the first place, make your outfit as light
as possible, III every respect. Every ounce you
carry W Il be pound at the end Of twenty miles.
Don't fill up your knapsacks with trinkets, keep
sakes, daguerreotgpes etc. If you cannot re-
member your friends without carrying their
pictures, you had better forget them; you can
renew their acquaintance at the end Of the war.
Avoid all soldiers portfolios and 'contriva ran
ces for the soldiers generally. Get common
portfolio of small size, and lay in a medium
amount Of stationery. Better submit to the
extortion of the suter than to carry lot ofwrin
killed. half damaged paper. The combined
knife, fork and spoon, answer but indiffer-
emily the purposes for which they are intended.
Get a case knife OF small size, and good metal.
Let your spoon fork and plate be small, the lat
ter made of pewter. Supply yourself with
good boots. The great secret Of easy march>
ing is to have easy, comfortable good fitting
boots with soes thick enough to resist the in-
equalities of the ground. If the Government
does not supply you with an oilcloth blanket,
get ruber coat that is light and pli4ble, and
will not crack.
When you get into camp make mp your mind
to submit cheerfully to whatever you may be
called upon to endure. You will find great
many things different from what you had ex-
pected You will have to submit to ndigni-
ties from petty officers dressed in little brief
authority, which will make you grind your
teeth with disgust. You will be cold, and wet
and hungry many times. Probably you now
think that the principle thing to be dreaded in
the. field is the enemy's bullets. But when
you have seen indications of the enemy on ev,
cry side, when you have turned out night af>
ter night to the long roll, when you have slept
with your arms by your side, ready to start at
the least alarm, you become Indifferent to the
danger, and the battleeline is formed at night
as cooly as if forming for parade. Content>
meat is better medicine than all the pills and
nowders of the doctor. have known strong
and healthy men, to let their minds run on

Make some use of everything about you

Keep in mind the Importance of the Cause
IN which you are engaged If there is any
make believe patriotism in the ranks, it wil'
soon show itself. Let no man shrink from tn e
trials which have mentioned it is the price
of liberty. 1t is no more than has been borne
many times before, and, l fear, will yet be
borne many times ere man becomes sufficiently
enlightened TO govern himself. Now is the
time to see who are towards, and who are men
