You desired TO know the feeling OF the
army with reference TO the admin isifation
land its proceedings. and how the proclsma.
liion takes We are a unit on the pfocls
nation. It is generally conceded that the
greatest act which has yet been done TO
wa'ds crushing this cruel rebel lion, is the
Presidents proclamation, and the next
greatest is the removal of that cowardly and
ttreachert US old william, BuellTs4af s.an
1t IS generally thought that there is some
thing wrong with Mcclellan. He is either
incompetent, coward or traitor.
There IS hardly man inltbe army thai
complains a word. Much confidence is
placed in Old Abe, aud WHAT'S done by
him is thought to be right. He has the con-
6dence of all the soldiers, and when the
soldiers return you will see change in the
reeult Of the elections. And there will be
less growing on the part, ef the secesh 10
youi county. These Democrats who en-
listed last Fall, are now more severe in de-
nnncisting HE course OF the dough faced
Democracy than the Republicans. In sub
stance. it is nothing more than plunging
the bayoncts in the hearts OF their friends
who ale in the tented field. The rebels
have heard The results OF the elections in
the North. and it is more cheering 10 them
than IL they had gained a glorious victory.
They think there is an influence ia their
favor in the North. and as q matter of course
viii endure longer and Eight harder than IL
they received No encouragement. You
would laugh TO hear Lieutenant Monroe
talk and swear at them. aud he was just as
firm Democrat as ever lef, Findlay.
| We do not suffer ourselves 10 think OF
peace. We should not until we have the
cause OF this wicked rebellion completely
rooted out. The Presidents proclamation
must be put in force before we can have the
desired peace. Slavery must sink into oh.
lliyion before we can be cemented together
as We should be-wifhout its adjustment
there can be no permanent peace. ] desire
TO see tie war come 10 a. close as much as
any one, yet I want 10 have a good job
done, aud no othet kind. When get lack
I want 20 stay at home and not have anoth-
er row in six OF ten years. | don't know,
but 1t seems 10 me that have the fight
views OF the matter. -.-.. -,t,u .r us
I VIII quit discoursine on this subject
and make some wayside remarks concern
ing some other little items.
Nashville is quite q cry, and IN times OF
peace should think it would be very de-
Sirable city to live in. But it is osetfil-
lden by o powerful army. Nothing is heard
but the heavy roll OF the army wagons and
the tramp Of the soIditry.
:. Tennessee is beautiful State, aad as far
IS fertility Of soil is concerned, I has but
lew rivals in the sisterhood of States But
now it as become desolaie. and is rapidly
becoming barren, waste, and If it was
served right, 1t ould, in connection witt
all the relel States, be utterly deyopulatej
land peopled by q loyal set Of men.
You heard that We were cut to pieces
well Ibis IS a mistake. You heard that W,
were penned up ia NaShvilleana lad moth
'ng scarcely 10 eat; thus is not a mistake
For aboHt three months we had no coffc e
sugar or ,snyrIing else but a little fresl
beef aud some bread. The meat which ",
= got we had TO take from The rebels. W,
sent furaging trains out every day. and tn,
rebels would pitch on them, but. our mel
always succeeded in pitching them or
little faster than was convenient for III,
rebels. We had quite fight with them a
a little town called Lnvergne, killed twsnt
lor thirty aud took three hundred prisoners
Our loss about eight. p 20 ,iltf r..
There is a great deal Of trickery going ol
, among the boys. especially when ration
were scarce. You would laugh to see thea
when out on foraging expedition. The
would go right into peoples yards, tax
their chickens and turkeys, or into potato
tlpatches, and carry off all they are able.
, Very frequently there are orders psohibliinI
such work, but the so,s will ma mage som
. way TO get turkeys, chickens orpotatoes. :
IL is astonishing how willing the citizen
Twill give up their poultry, especially if th
boys have their guns with them. rlr.,.,.
The negroes are ouL only true friend
here; they win tell on their masters ever
time. II does tickle them TO see the boy
Hs
rake on their masters. CD - 81 ~ II 4 -
Since think of it, must tell you W ha
think OF the niger: He is poor, trfiin
fellow and cannot take care of himself veI
well--guilty OF all kinds OF bad deeds.-
Yet thlRk II they were made free, and ha
some opportunities, tney might, in Ia
: course OF time, get along pretty well. Col
onIz,ng them is the only way OF getting ri
z OF them. X.
