Gentlemen Thinking that brief letter
from the 1st Indiana cavalry, at this time,
would prove interesting to you and your
reader, concluded to while away a leisure
moment in scribbling for your edifcation.
Four companies of our regiment are now
stationed at Fredericktown, (the scene of
our late battle with JEFF. Thompsonl and
are under command of the gallant Mojor
Forth, who, by the way, though recently
appointed, has gained the full confidence of
the entire regiment. The remaining four
companies are encamped in an old meadow,
a quarter of mile due west from the Knob,
on a beautiful elevation overlooking the
town, and various batteries and entrench-
ments lately made by the troops stationed
here. This place is now sufficiently forti-
fed to defy, with few thousand men, any
force likely to be brought against it by the
rebels
While | now write the roar of our tsbig
guns" and the incessant fire of small arms,
kept up continual echo between the high
mountains which skirt our little encamp-
ment, and the 'boys" are passing away
Christmas with much glee
Lieut.4Col. Wood is now out with a force
of one hundred and thirty men on recon-
noitering expedition toward the Arkansas
line, aud from last accounts he was sixteen
miles below Centerville, but had heard no
thing of the enemy in that vicinity.
The health of the troops in this locality
is improving every day. We have provided
good stables for our horses, and are now
pretty well fixed for winter.

Bg-It will be seen by our dispatches
that Gen. Philip st. George Cooke commit
ted suicide last Tuesday at his residence in
Virginia. He had several sons in the reb-
Ell army, and he, no doubt, became wearied
with a position he could not abandon
without dishOnor, but which might at any
moment bring him in conflict with his
children. He was a gallant and able Off
Ger and the country viii mourn over his
sad fate.

A Thrilling Romance.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION--A DYING SOL
DER PRAYS FOR THE PRESIDENT
The case of Private Scott, killed in the
fight near Lees Mills, on the 10th, is thus
narrated by the correspondent of The HHIo-
deiphm Inqnirer::
Never until we stood by the graves of the
Green Mountain boys did we realize how much
stranger is truth than fiction. Your readers
will all rccollcct that last Summer private
was courtmartialcd for sleeping on his post
out near Chain Bridge on the Upper Poto.
mac. lie was convicted; his sentence was
death; the finding was approved of by the
General, and the day fixed for his execution.
lie was youth of more than ordinary intel.
ligcnce; he did not beg for pardon, but was
willing to meet his fate. The time drew
near; the stern necessity of war rcouircd
that an example should be made of some one ::
his was an aggravated case. But the case
reached the ears of the President; he resoly.
ed to save him; he signed pardon and sent
it out; the day came. Suppose" thought
the President, "my pardon has not reached
him." The telegraph was called into rcouis-
ition; an answer did not come promptly
Bring up my carriage" he ordered. 1t came
and soon the important State papers were
dropped, and through the hot brolinr sun,
and dusty roads, he rode to the camp, about
ten miles and saw that the soldier was saved !,
lie has doubtless forgotten the incident, but
the soldier did not. When the Sd Vermont
charged upon the rifle pits, the enemy pour
cd a volley upon them. The first man who
fell, with six bullets in his body, was VIM.
Scott, of Company X His comrades caught
him up, and, as his life. blood cbbcd away.
he raised to heaven, amid the din of war, the
cries of the dying, and the shouts of the enc.
my, prayer for the President; and as he
died, he remarked to his comradc that he had
shown he was no coward and not afraid to die
lie was inferred in the presence of his reg
mcnt, in a little grove about two miles to the
rear of the Rebel fort, in the center ofa group
of holly and vines; few cherry. trees in full
bloom, are scattered around the edge. In
digging his grave, skull and bones were
found, and metal buttons, showing that the
Identical spot had been used in the Rcvolu-
tionary war for our fathers who fell in the
same cause. The Chaplin narrated the cir
cumstancc to the boys, who stood around
with uncovered heads. lie prayed for the
President, an! paycd the most glowing trb-
ute to his noble heart that we ever heard
The tears started in their eyes as the clods
OF earth were thrown upon him in his narrow
grave, where he lay Shroujcd in his coat and
blanket
The men separated; in few minutes all
were engaged in something around the camp
as though nothing unusual had happened
but that scene will live upon their memories
while life lasts the calm look of SCOTS face
the seeming look OF satisfaction he felt, still
fingered; and could the President have seen
him, he would have felt that his act 0! mercy
had been wisely bestowed.
