BOLIVAR, Tenn, Aug 9th, 1862.
Editor Gazsiie.-L drop a few lines 10 in
form your readers OF our whereabouts, health
and future prospects. Since last wrote sew
eral boys oil Company d have returned, and
more are on their way. Our company begins
to make respectable appearance once more.
Among those who returned, | find Sergeant
j. Curicn. l. Y. Mitchell Wm cellar and
l.. Lcnnigun. Ed. Allen. who was in Mem
phis as Division tcamsicr, has also joined his
company. Never at any time since we left
Kentucky has the company er joyed such good
Eealth US 1t the present. Good water. com
parative rest and pleasant location, have Il
beneficial influence in restoring the health OF
tired, weary mcu-its no use OF denying it.
Oar regiment, il not a newspaper regiment,
has seen ard done good service for the coun-
try. Would to God every Ohio regiment had
as unfiinchingly stood the test as the modest
uDrrelendiI,g Twentieth. l am prompted BY
no feelings Of enthusiasm, when say there is
not one regiment from ohio that has done more
duty since we came into the field than the
gallant 10th. Although somewhat reduced in
numbers, we ave still ready, at moments no.
ticc, TO meet the foe. Our flag is still unsul-
Led, and brIver nor truer little body of men
never marched TO music, than are ready To
bear it through the confines Of TebellOm
whenever we get the order. Yes, sir, we have
body of men who meet tolls and priratiOHs
with cheerfulncss; who scorn to grumble; who
distlain TO complain. If ever there was a
grumbler III company . he as Hoc at home
Even down hcIe we have heard of The lying
stories some snivelling driYeller has put in cir
culation, regarding hard fare. &c. We know
we have not Always Jared sumptuou<ly. or
lived on the Cat of the land, bat We have ncv-
er, never, suffered for want Of food. II there
is any man who docs not expect to meet some
privalions in the army, he lad better stay al
home. We have no feather bcd soldiers in the
Goth, but Il body OF men who came 10 fight
for country worthy Of their best efforts; whu
have gone and are yet willing to go through
mud and through miro, when Liberty is a!
stake. Our bCsoms have glowed with satis
faction, with honest pride, when we heard al
all tunes how Delaware county had responded
to the call for volunteers. We'll may we be
proud of our glorious old Delaware. We
loved her before, but we love h>r hctter E0w
