Ed TELEGRAPH:- Having few moments
to spare, thought would sit down and give
you what little news there is IN camp.
Last Sunday was one ofthe rainiest days Ihave
seen, and of course every one was glad to stay
in the ir tents, but about noon an order came
for 100 men oil picket duty, un der the charge
of Major HoRwITZ, and about l o clock they
got under way, notwithstanding the rain came
harder and harder. About 9 O'clock p, m. an
order came for as more men on picket. Things
looked to us as though there must be some>
thing going on, they were forthcoming in douo-
lie quick time, and uudsr the charge OF Lieut.
NEwKIRK of Co. E, and Sergt. Rock, of Co
c, marched to the Gen. Headquarters at Fair
fax to get orders where to go, when we were
ordered back to camp 70 guide, arrived at
the camp drenched through,we reported to the
Col. who sent Lieut. Fuchs of Co. G as guide,
when we were marched through woods and
camps, until we arrived between Fairfax and
Centerville, when we were posted In a very
thick woods, to watch for any stray secesh
who shou Id happen to be struggling around
The night wore nearly away but no secesh
came, and about O'clock, a. m. Monday we
were relieved, after standing in the rain Is
hours We looked like drowned rats, when we
got back to camp.
Yesterday very serious accident occurred.
As our pickets were firing off their guns one OF
them fired too high and fred into the camp of
the l52d New York, when it hit brave and
true so der. killing him instantly. He had
been in seven battles and come out unframed,
and now by an accidental shot lost his life.
Yesterday we had another Grand Review of
the Style Army Corps around Fairfax. Treas
urer Chase of Ohio came from Washington to
inspect the army of Gen. Sgel. 1t was beauti-
full day, and then to see about 20 or 81
regiments marching on withIther muskess and
glittering bsyonetS is indeed grand sig ht. -
There was also batteries of artillery and sew
eral regiments of cavalry. Treas. Chase was
accompanied by his daughter, anda large num-
Der of citizens from Washington. From here
be went to Centerville, where Gen Sigel had
removed his headquarters and also large force
of his army.
We have changed our camp beyond Fairfax.

oskee in Gen. Carl Schurz' division who COM
manded the-division of Gen. Sigers ar
my.
! We have been favored by a visit from City
Treas urer PHILIPS of milwaukee, and another
gentleman whose name do not know who
were sent out by the Democratic candidates
to see that the 26th voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. How well they succeeded, elecy
ton day will tell. They had been in camp but
few minutes before they commenced distrib>
uting the secesh Nsrcs of Milwaukee. think

contains nothing but bare-fsced lies of every
kind against POTTER.
