NEwpERN, N. c., July l.
Mr.. EDIToR-Your valuable paper comes
duly to hand, and is read with much plea
sure. We are encamped about two miles
from the city in healthy locality for this
country. After arrived here, thought it
quite unhealthy, but have, after looking thro
other camps, come to the conclusion that
Camp Andrew is one of the very best. |
had hardly arrived in camp before l was de-
tailed to the hospital There are numbers
about getting their discharges, and all who
are not able to march 20 miles per day are
ordered to 90 to the hospital in New bern
city. We have been to-day ordered to
pack our knapsacks and be ready to march
in eight hours for some place unknown to
the soldiers but the destination is probably
Goldsboro We take nothing but oar two
blankets und gun and equipments, and three
days ratons. We also take sixty rounds

on one of the transports 1t seems too bad
that we are obliged to wear our thick wooden
clothes thi- time of the year-but such is
war.
l yesterday visited the battle-ground
and it seems almost apostolic that any force
could take the place There were two
breastworks, each one about mile in length
mounting eighteen large guns, the last breast
work having fort built at one end of the
work mounting S large guns, commanding
the field as we'll as the shipping. 1t is very
strange they should give it up; but you know
l told you the rebels could not stand the
cold steel yet that battle told on our regi
ment-the 21st Enthusiastically.
They are just forming for dress parade
and our company Co. A,-turns out 8
men. We started from Worcester with 10
able-boded mon. Think of that, you VIII
are at home enjoying life and all its pleas

Is IT NOT so? It is of no consequence
now to enquire who is responsible for the
ate reverse before Richmond it is oar
business simply to do our part towards
repairing the disaster. When your house
is on fire will you stop to discuss the prob
abilities as to through whose carelessness
it happened, until it is burnt to ashes ?
First put out the fire, and then enquire
about its origin. -'--

TROOPS SENT FROM RUTLAND.-We
find by actual count, that the town of
Rutland has sent over tWo hundred and
ffty men into the service, in the various
Regiments raised in this State, including
the Sharp Lhooters, and not including the
,J;nth, and also not including the Regulars
nor those who have gone into Regiments
in other States. The whole number we
have no doubt considerably exceeds three
hundred men, being more that fifty in ex-
cess of her quota. 1t will be seen that
the Adjutant General gives us credit for
having sent .tfty-omei We are assured
that the town of Rutland is now render
ing aid TO 20 families of volunteers. We
publish this morning the military Stats
tics for Rutland, Addison and Windsor
Counties. If the Listers of other towns
have been as negligent as ours in Rut-
land, it may be well to have new report
sent to the Adjutant General We dont
speak of this because our citizens are
afraid of draft, but simply that due credit
may be awarded for what we have already
done. #.as ra.t

Ga The course of the New York Herald
is getting TO be reprehensible. With pre-
tended and hollow profession Of devotion to
the constitution and submission TO the laws,
its columns are filled with articles, calculated,
and no doubt designed, to foment divisions in
the North, and thus weaken its strength and
destroy its power. 1t boldly hints the pro-
priety of Cromwellian dispersion of Con-
gress, and OF the appointment of Committee
of safety While denouncing others as be-
ing revolutionary it shamelessly advocates
such measures as would lead to hopeless di-
vision and anarchy The people have not
forgotten that in the outset of the rebellion
t expressed preference for the JEFF. Davis
Constitution over our own. Its sympathies
evidently have not changed for the betterg
