At a late hour IN the day do Iauempt to
peg you few lines for your paper, which
Is always welcomed In this camp.
Most of the boys of our regiment 9th
VAL and also many others in Western
Virginia are nov doubtless experiencing
some of the hardships incident 70 the SOL
dier's life
90 last Thursday, the Sth Va, 18th Va.
and the s7Ih Pa. egimehts, with the Whee-
ling Battery and several other pieces of ar
tillery, aud one company Of the LIST Va.
cavalry started from here, leaving only q
few to gnArd the tents, the Infantry carry
ing their guns, blankets aud hayersacks
with three days cooked rations, besides
wagons hauling fifteen hundred rations;
the 18th and sIth going toward Hutton
vile. On the Stanton road, and the 9Th
toward Webster.
Ga Friday, the l23d Ohio taking with
them their trnts, left with orders to march
10 ElkEater, also another company of cav
airy went down the Webster road after the
9Th Va.
The ll6th Ohio regiment arrived here
from Buckhannou this evening, and will
probably go on in few days; and it is
thought that all the baggage now LEFT be-
hind will be forwarded as soon as trans
portations can be had.
When this force is going. and what is
going to be done, no one seems to know /;
reports which have been circulated here,
say that there is a large number of fat cat
tie and some horses foragiug 10 q Grad
Bottom" little beyond Monterey aud that
there is also in that neighbOrhood a large
body of secesh." The general opinion
here is that the force now advancing by
different rontes, will all meet at Monterey
aud that Cox will join Milroy, aud with
their forces united they will march upon,
aud, II possible, dispense the rebels aud
capture the horses aud cattle above referred
TO, and if successful in this that they will
then march without delay on to Staunton.
Gen. Aiiroy now somewhat noted for
generalship as we'll as for fighting, ia lead
| ing not less than three thousand men
tains. Certainly it can not be that SO many
men will have to endure the hardship aud
I suffering of march like this for nothing.
trust that we shall soon have something
| favorable to report from our commander, 10
! whom We now place most implicit conf
dence, aud in whose care the lives of so
many men have been placed "Gen. Mil
roy would fight the devil if he could only
| get him to stand" said "a boy of tue Third
| Virginia regiment and believing as we do
thai the devil is N every rebel, aud know
ing that the Generals past deeds show thai
be is ever willing and anxious to 6gh
them, we are ready to acquiesce with tbs
boy in his opinion. One thing we feel sur,
Off there is force of rebels near Monte,
ray, as reported, there will be fight il
that vicinity before many days OF another
grand "skedSddle."
While stationed at Buckhannon there
was much sickness in our camp. mostly
measles aud humps By leave OF absence :
number of company G went home, bu
have mostly returned aud are gettiug aloul
very well and are in fine spirits.
Our camp here is located on u beautiiu
site, on the bank of thessTigart river, tn
water of which is very clear aud answer
mostly for cooking, &c.
On Friday and Saturday last the sno7
fell here about three inches deep. Yes.er
day and last night it was very cold. Not
withstanding the air has been cool to-day
the warm rays of the sun have caused til
earth in the valley to look brown, but b.
casting the eye toward Cheat Mountain, o
} which We have nice view from camp, higI
up toward its summit, may be seen plent,
of snow yet. FROM oSE OF Co. G.
