FRIEND EARLE.-It is now four
weeks since | wrote you, and now that
there have some things taken place
which I trust will be of interest to you,
will endeavor to put them in the form
of "letter from camp"
First, / will speak of the sanitary con-
dtion OF the regiment. When | wrote
to Won before, l was confident that the
health Of tie men was improving; but
since that time there has been but little
else than rainy weather, with an oeca-
.ionaI snow storm, which is by far the
worst, and my hopes have not been real
lzed. There are more off from duty
now tban at any previous time since we
left Vermont. \ large proportion OF
them are affected with severe colds and
coughs.
Our Sibley tents are all stockaded'
which renders them in some respects far
more comfortable, in others they are not
improved. About the timbers bias been
piled bank of Dirt from one to three
feet in thickness. which rises above the
floor Of the tent some three feet, and
which makes the tent damp; and this
combined with the constant wet weather.
causes many severe colds.
Ere this you will have learned that
dis regiment has been paid up to the
Iolh Of January last, and that many
friends at home have received goodIy
sums Of money from its members. The
companies sent from 81 800 to $1,000
ach, to their friends,
l thiuk Ills regiment is ahead Of any
Vermont regiment in allouins their fo
tlra pay. While the others have ailot
lel 5000, we have allotted 1000 from
each company, per month, and l eau
safely say that a large portion OF tb
extra $500 is saved from the hands o
suffers and pedlers, much Of which wou''
be paid for articles which the soldje
does not need, and should not have.
We have received our reyolyers-sl'
shooters. am not able to say whethe
they are good reviewers or not. The

The sabres which we have are utterl
worthless with the view of regimen
doing any execution with them. Man
of them will break with a slight stro6
f across board, others viii bend, and re
main 50. a properly tempered sabr
would cut them into pieces.
The horse barracks are completed, an

SICKNESS IN IRAsBURGH.-Never in
the recollection of That famous individ-

been known such a great amount Of sick
ness in town as there has been for the
past two months. Measles and canker-
rash rage to an unprecedented extent,
and there have been probably not less
than 200 cases of these diseases in that
time. Many small children are first at

There are autagOnistiC elements already at
work that must ere long make new frAc-
lures. The radical opposition of interests
on thetarif question win make Virginia
and Border State Confederaey, or attempt

crate forces should be driven out Of Vir-

would be chunce of the resembling of the
Ordnance Of Secession and the return oi

ing the popular vote, and whether from the
local terrorism, 1t could be considered fair
one; and recalled to his mind Mr.. Mason's
declaration at the the time, that II there was
any man in Yirgiuin not prepared to vote
sec ession he should leave the State. So far
as he knew, 1t was made with perfect fair
ness and freedom; as for Mr. MRson's
speech. 1t was not the first or only foolish
thing that person had said: "But do you
suppose that any VirgiRidH voted against
his conscience on account Of such decls-
ration?" Do you not think that we should
be together-that Union is desirable p

"Ah ifit were bat all over, and things

Judging from what they have seen, that
slavery must and ought to perish, Specu-
lations as to the former political relations
of tue. soldiers are out Of place a short
experience in campaigning brings Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike to the same
conviction. We know, Of our own perso-
nal knowledge, that there are thousands
of men, both officers and privates, who
entered the army stepped in pro-sIayery
prejudices, who are now practical aboli-
tiOnists. and who regard the proclamation
of the President as simply an official re-
cognition of an event which is inevitable,
and which is every day being practically
accomplished.
We think, then, that it is no more than
fair to say that the soldiers in the field
would, if the opportunity were offered
them, support the Administration ut the
polls Old prejudices and private reasons
would drive some into the opposition ranks
but generally their vote would sustain the
emancipation proclamation. Wefeel conf
dent, therefore, that to-day. a large mnjori-
ty of the loyal citizens in the United
States are in favor of the policy of Mr.
Lincoln and his Cabinet, and when we
consider what an advance in public senti-
ment since the fourth of March, 1861, this
fact poEtends, we may well congratulate
ourselves that the ''world does move"
