When we get to Cumberland shall write
again. Tell my Democratic friends that am
bound TO stand by Old Abe, and the sooner
they cease pratng about the Union as it was.
and the Constitution as it s,r the sooner will
the rebellion be put down, and the lives Of
thousands OF our soldiers saved, ms well as
millions Of money. They must be unit in
favor OF vigorous prosecution of the war,
and in favor of voting all the men and money
the President may see proper to call for. Some
excitement has inst been created by the burn
ing Of slanty inside of the uppcr prison; but
il is all over now and most Of the boys have
"turned i'm TO dream Of home and wives,
children and sweethearts.
