CAMP PARAPET, Carrolton, La.


Mr.. EDITOR Thinking it would be interes-
ting to you and your readcas, to hear from the
9TH regiment, therefore enclose the following,
concerning our journey from Ship Island to this
place. We left the island may 18th. and marched
on board steamer and proceeded directly to
Fort Pike, where companies of our regiment
are stationed. They are Cos. B, @, and part of
Co. and F. We stayed there about an hour,
and then went up Lake Ponchartrain. We hal
ted again at Jefferson, where we stayed until the
next morning, when we again directed our course
about miles up the Lake and landed at beau.
tiful place called Lake shore. We took posses.
sion of large, magnificent building, situated on
the shore. II was surrounded by woods and
groves, and on the whole, 1t is the most splen.
did residence ever saw We stayed at this place
until the next morning, and proceeded to Carroll
ton by rail- We found the people there in
hard state, perhaps what the people of Vermont
would call state Of starvation.
Flour is $35 per barrel coffee is 81 per pound
tea from to S3 per pound, and other things in
proportion, excepting sugars that can be bought
from LIZ to cents per pound. We fingered a
short time in the city and then marched TO the
place of our encampment the distance of miles
On cur way to camp never saw anything SO
beautiful as the groves oforange and lemon trees,
the houses and frontyards are all decorated with
fruit aid flowers of all kinds.
The place we occupy appears to have been o
place Of refuge for the rebels. There is breast
work five miles in length. Itcommences on the
banks of the Mississippi and extends into a
swamp where it would be impossible for an army
to pass through. There is abeut 05 guns, some
of which the rebels spiked at the time of their
departure. II must have been great loss to
them. Our camp ground is ituated on an old
plantation surrounded by all the beautiful scenes
of nature. The negroes are locking in from all
quarters every day they tell sad tale in regard

June 9Th, 1856.

The 18th of July, 1862, is to be cele-
5rated at johnson in the the good old
style, with professions, orations, music,
and military display. Of course there
will be the usual amount of powder burnt,
frecrackers exploded, and such other DEM
onstrations as usually acco mpany such
celebrations, and every body will be pres
ent with wife and little ones Such a
manifestation of joy as this day usually
calls forth, may seem out of place during
the present state of our country; but we
sec no reason why the anniversary of our
national birth, may not be improved in
50 enumerating the blessings which have
thus far fallen to the lot of our people,
and the direful effects that would follow
the overthrow of the Constitution, under
which we have grown so great, that the
patriotism of all may be fred anew. The
reading of the Declaration of lndepend-
ence and of Washington's Farewell Adj
dress, should remind us of the time that
tried mems souls, and encourage us to
stand manfully by the fabric which the
father of his country assisted in erecting
as protection from all it foes.
We give below the announcement of the
committee of arrangements:
"The people of Johnson will celebrate
this good old anniversary of July 4th,
with other towns of Lamoille County who
may wish to unite with us on that occas-
ion. President, Hon. S. Merriam; Mar
shall of the day, NJ. W. Hosmer; Chap
lain, Rev. J. Dougherty Grafton by Geo.

on account of exposure to the rain, of
which they seem to be getting more than

the reputation for bravery and reliability
which they have acquired, they are held

SERIOUS Accountable learn that on
Tuesday last, Mrs. S. B. Clark and Mrs.
DR.. Tinker, of Morrisville, got thrown
from carriage on the Wolcott road, a
short distance above Morrisville, and very
seriously injured. Mrs. Clark had a
child with her, and that was also very
badly hurt. Something frightened the
horse and made it jump suddenly to one
side of the road, bringing the carriage in
contact with pile of wood, against which
Mrs Tinker was thrown, bruising her face
badly. The carriage was made a COM

Stonewalr' JacksOn's Escape.

Mrs. Lcggett, wife of Lieut. A. Leggett
of the Eight N. Y. Cavalry, was left in
Winchester, Va, during the late rebel
occupation of that place, her husband
having reiterated at short notice with his
regiment She has since returned to
Rochester, after having enjoyed several
days intercourse with the rebel chiefs,
and she says Jacksons force cannot have
fallen below 10000 men. 1t was all day
in passing through Winchester on its re-
treat, when it had every reason for econo-
MIXING time. 1t was this army that Gen.
Fremont, with less than $4,000 men,
fought al Cross-Keys, holding his ground
firmly, though the rebels were very strong
ly posted; it was this army against which
Gen. Fremont advanced next morning in
battle array, but it had stolen away dur
ing the night. Stonewall" Jackson is
one of the best officers in the Rebel SER
vice; We do not say he was beaten at Cross
Keys, but he certainly won no victory,
and he a0ouM have been caught between
Fremont and Shields next day, but for
the mistake of Col. Carroll in not burn
ing the Port Republic bridge. That mis-
take has probably cost the Union cause
1000 men. Shields advance being
crushed by the whole weight of Jackson
army and pushed back down the river,
while " Stonewall' made his escape over
the Blue Ridge. He rushed down the
valley very rapidly, but he has been run
out of it at full speed. His great strength
and intimate knowledge of the country
have saved him from capture or destruc-
tion.--Iribune.
