events have sufficient vitality left in him t
lget behind tree and fire at some unconsciou
passer-by, but when he is "let go" he vii
most likely need help in getting down from
tree-a distinction with a difference.
Immediately upon the return of the expedi
ton the companies of the 10th, in the wagons
that had been taken down loaded, commenced
the march-the counter-march, as the boys
called it-upon Fort Scott. In this trip we
passed through some of the finest country
ever saw, and to which the attention of emf
grants will be turned "as soon as the war is
over" The Cherokee neutral land is a valua-
bic tract lying along the Missouri line, COM
mencing a few miles north of here and running
south fifty miles, and west twenty-four miles.
1t was from this tract that the settlers were
driven by the Buchanan government in 1852
We saw the ruins of houses and farms all
along the route. All this to make a slave
State of Kansas.
The Government strip " is G tract of land
two miles wide and twenty four long, lying
between the neutral land and the Indian ma
ton proper. This is to great extent settled
by class of squatters who do not pretend to
have any title to the land they occupy, and,
as was told by one of them, know no law
but the law of honor in their dealings with
one another. The law does not seem to have
been very strictly observed, as numerous COM
plants were made of jayhawking horses,
shooting men, and other like amusements. I
saw man, who, three years ago, came out
here from Wayne county, Indiana. He says
he was enabled, by judicious system oflying,
to remain upon his farm undisturbed until the |
news of the battle of Pea Ridge reached him,
a few days after which he was caught in, as
he supposed, a secluded spot, in the laudable
act of throwing up his cap and shouting for
The Union, and was obliged to roll out on

DC to the Usage Catholic Mission, 60 miles
southwest, on the Neosho. 1t is understood
hat the two Indian regiments are there.
These regiments are composed of Cherokees,
creeks, Shawnees, Senecas and Quawpaws.
They are the same that were driven out last
winter by the Texans and rebel Indians under
Pike, after hard fought battle. They are

0uRARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
CAMP OF THE 11rn Iowa,

CoRINTH, MISS, June 18th, '62.
Dear Journal Military matters at ar
:. around Corinth are still be-clouded, and
the unsophisticated eye there is little doin
: calculated to throw much light upon the fl
ture movements ofthe troops now operating
the Mississippi Valley.
1t is evident, from the nature of affair.
that the 9th Division (of which the 18th is
constituted part) will form kind of HON
Guard for the protection Of Corinth and tn
surrounding country. There will also be tw
other divisions, which will act in conjunction
with ours. l think Gen. Davis one-th
other l know not, unless it be Hurlburt's.-
Of the other divisions composing the army o
the Tennessee, know but little. am tolt
that our line of defense extends upwards o
one hundred miles.
Grand Junction, Miss, on the Mobile Rail
road, is now in our possession. The rebels
have recently committed great depredations
in that vicinity, burning cotton, pillaging the
houses of those who entertain Union senti-
ments, and many other barbarous acts too
revolving to mention.
The Mobile Railroad, for some reason, seems
to have been an object of special attention
from the Confederates. The road is badly
crippled, bridges burned, track torn up, &c.
1t will be long time before we will be able
to reach Memphis by railroad communication
The Columbus and Ohio road is not so bad
and it is confidently expected that by the
Goth of this month we will be able to run
train through to the Mississippi river The
fare from Corinth to Columbus, 1 understand,
will be IS O5. When this road is completed
many Of the difficulties to which we are now
subjected will be obviated. All commissaries
and forage stores will come over this road,
and the many transports now lying at Pitts
burg and Hamburg Landing will be dis
charged and return to other trade on our
Northern waters.
Corinth is getting to be very busy place
since the arrival of the suffers. There is
scarcely business building in town that is
not occupied by some enterprising " Leech,"
whose Legitimate" business it is to extort
money from the spend-thrift soldier.
There is but little doing here of interest to
one outside the army. The health of the
soldiers is improving-there is but very little
sickness. The weather has been very sultry,
but to-day it is more congenial. Yesterday
We had glorious thunderstorm, which made
every one happy. We are getting pretty we'll
acclimated to Mississippi; the only visible
change in the Iowa boys countenance is the
color. I trust that we will meet with no
reverses here, for in an event of that kind it
IS highly probable that our captors would
mistake our Anglo Saxon attributes and in
thereof sell us into slavery.
To-day saw Gen. Halleck his counten-
ance seems not exempt from the tanning
effects of tropical sun. I wondered as
beheld the hero of Corinth if he should hap
pen to fall into the hands of jeff. if they
wouldn't think him niger.
We are now daily looking for the return of
COL Hare. Lieut.. Col. Hall is expected back
soon. He is now absent on visit home
