This Is the sunny side Of & soldiers life -
We have seen all the way from Baltimore
squads and camps Of soldiers upon the side
of the finely wooded knolls which make the
country between that city and this so pleas
ant Their barracks were clean and tasty ;
their camps attractive, and altogether the
soldiers who have ercamped here for the
past six months have had an easy time oft
It is & noticeable fact that the soldiers
do not ssk for money or extra rations, or
"SOmething good" to eat, of the passengers,
but all their cry is for papers. "Givs uss pa
per-, Is heard wherever there is q soldier, and
" Please throw OF a paper" is posted up in
more than one place where he who rams by
rail can read. It Is a good indication Of the
disposition of our soldiers.
We have seen Col stager and secured our
passage to Fort Monroe. In this we were
fortunate, for many have been turned away
unable to get permission to go down to the
Old Point. And here let me say that Col.
stager is doing good work. he has control
Of the whole telegraph system of the country,
and he stays in bis Office supervising the
whole for more hours than you or 1 would
ike to. From his Office lines radiate to all
the division commanders, and the operations
Of the whole go through his confidential
hands. BE Is fright hand man" OF the
Government and works Is hard for his

up battery and other implements of tele-
graphing st Fort OOrSoran across the river,
snd stayed there four months at Gen. Porter's
headquarters, as head operator. Ee goes
home to Cleveland shortly.
Having pOcketed the potential document
with Col. stager's signature, without which
the highest civilians in the country would
seek in vain 10 go to Fort Monroe, our i'm,
mediate mission in Washington is ended -
At o'clock we 60 to Baltimore, and then by
the Old Point boat to the Peninsula, which is
soon to be the scene of the most icientiic
