NEAR NEWPORT News, March 81, 1862.
EDITOR FREEMAN Perhaps you have err
this been informed that Smiths Division hal
been transferred to this place, but will venture
to write you word about it.
On Sunday, March 23d, the Vermont brigade
as we'll as the other Two brigades belonging tt
Smiths division, embarked on a feet Of steam
boats at Alexandria, and after pleasant voyage
down the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay, arrived
safely at our destination, Fortress Monroe, du-
ring Monday evening and Tuesday. We
marched out through the once fine and flour
ishing town of Hampton, which is now heap
of blackened ruins as it was burned by the
rebels last Spring, and pitched our tents some
four or five miles from Fortress M onroe and
g:aid I'LL the 9th, when we struck tents and
marched at sunrise. The whole division was
on the move, and - Ho, for Yorktown ! - was
shouted through the ranks. But we were
doomed TO be disappointed, as we marched out
three or four miles beyond Newport News, and
drove in tie enemys picket guard, and stopped
over night The next morning we retraced our
steps and stopped about two miles from New
port News and pitched our tents, where we still
stay.
We are getting tired Of this way of subdue-
ing the rebels We did expect when Mcclellan
told US that he was going to place Us face 10
face Win the enemy, that he meant what he
said. But we will wait a little longer, trusting
that this delay is for good reasons.
The greatest ohjects Of interest that we have
seen since we came here, are Fortress Monroe,
the key to Virginia, the big Union gun that
will throw a ball that weighs four hundred
pounds, seven miles, and the Monitor, that ad-
monished the Aierriinac thas the safest place ior
her was in the harbor Of Norfolk. | also saw
the noble ship Cumberland or AT least her
mssts aud rigging, which lies but u few hun
dred YARDS of Newport News. Over one hun
dred OF her nebe defenders sleep with her in
their watery grave
Peach trees are beginning TO blossom here
Sickness prevails to considerable extent in this

They took sober second shought, and marched

The Engineer.

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me to say few
words to your readers in behalf Of the Loco
motive Engineer. Having been something
of traveller on our railroads, and observed
closely the operation Of It's various depart
ments, conclude that the Engineer il not
only one OF the most responsible men connec-
ted with the running OF trains, but one whose
services are seldom duly appreciated by the
public. The Superintendent, Conductors,
and others-are often compimentsd for their
efficiency in the discharge Of thev duties, but
of the man who holds the reins oe the " Iron
Horse" under whose care and protection
all are placed who take seats in the cars, and
to whom they are indebted more than to any
one else for their safety, little is thought or
said
The duties Of the Engineer require his un-
divided attention upon the engine seldom at.
fording him an opportunity to form the &C.
quaintance of his passengors--unless under
lhe most adverse circumstances such as de-
lays, accidents, and the like, and at such
times his duties arc often passed under the
most rigid scrutiny, by those not all CONVEX
cur, through oversight or inattantion on his
part, he i, invariably handled with the most
unmcrcliul severity.
The Norwalk accident which occurred
few years since, fully illustrates this. As
the n. Y express train was passing through
the town Of Norwaik the Engineer failed to
see signal that was flying, a few hundred
yards IN advance Of his train, warning him
| that draw bridge had been removed, and
thad he must bring his train immediately to
iuH stop, aud the consequences were the
most disastrous--ifty human beings--com-
prisng some OF our most eminent citizens, were
INSTANTLY launched into cterni'y---and many
Iuained Tor lie. The public investigated the
matter, and as usual, were very severe upon
the Engineer. Some were for hanging him
on the nearest trec-others proposed decap
itation--and the moro mild incarceration for
life, all IN consequence OF the poor man $
mistake or oversight. Where is the man that
does not some time so err, but where is the man
whose mistakes involve such fatal results {?
l could rccite many accidents that have &C.
CURED in our country, within the last thirty
years, showing the weighty responsibility de.
voIving upon the Engineer, but refrain as the
recital is painful.
The Engineer, before starting his train,
must see that his engine is properly oiled,
and has an ample supply Of wood and water,
and must be sure that his train has the right
OF aoay-which is Of vital Importance upon
all single track roads. After leaving the
Station, which he will do with caution, he
must examine his timetable and bring his
train up to the speed required by that locu.
ment, and ut tn, same time keep good look
