Ed. GAzEFTEs.:-T'be neEs Of the week, as far
as our regiment Is e0aeeFpea, presents bat few
pcints of interest on which 10 found \ letter
for your readers, and hence ina viii Aecssaar-
ily BE short
Within the past week We have h5ede a
move-backward. II was not out Of sight,
however, Of our old camp, ana the REV locaii-
IL is near Beachwood Battery, in front Of
line of earth works-called rile pits, and Civ
ing uz a larger parade and drill ground needed
for battalion and other exercises. OtherWise
than this the advantages to the inexperienced
eve are not apparent. In place of the tine
sod Of our old, We have the stubble, potatoes
aud corn Of the new Camp Bates, which Of
course with the ridge Of fresh dirt thrown up
10 our rear, and that Kentucky clay, does not
tend to improve cleanliness or our Sanitary
condition, Then, too, We are back from the
Pike, rendering it nearly double The work to
reach Camp with teams, an item not TO be
overlooked when all our water is to be hauled
10 as. That there are ample reasons ior ahe
change no Que can doubt, and it may be that
the guns Of Beachwood and their fellows Of
Peach Orchard are among them. This bat
terry at Beachwood, too, needs its notice, for
the red trimmings of the arlillerists stare you
in the face every time in going and coming.
while the mouths OF (how many viii not say)
cannon with their magazines close by showing

cd against coming near, especially if you are
an fnveterate smoker, and other fixtures, are
not easily forgotten iE a picture OF the place
| A fne grove was Beachwood, Of the incest OF
| beach and maple q and-maik for miles, and
one of the pretties: Of the beautiful spots visi-
| ble on every hand. But alas, military ne
cessity'' has cut down its tall trees and reduc-
ed it TO collection Of stumPs, leaving the
/ hill barren anI as uuPretending as any about.
1t looks wrong to me TO spoil such spots, saw
cd as they have been by good taste. adding
much TO the value as well as beauty Of the
| farm but it had TO be done, and-was. The
crashing OF the trees as they feel may not have
been mighty wall, and the cutting Of them a
murderous sacrilege, but it would not require
much imagination to believe it to be the case.
On Saturday our regiment were 'on sight
at Covington With other troops Of the divis-
ion, making as so!dierly an appearance, it is
said, as any other; of course We expect TO be
fattered-when we deserve it. Compliments
to the Goth, can assure its friends, come Of
ten, and with the rest our Colonel, or rather
Brigadier. receives bis share for prOmptness in
the discharge Of his duties. The review was
6ue affair, and another is ordered for this
week DR. Henderson ia made medical direc-
tor OF the brigade, throwing additional duties
on the medical staff, and making another com
plimsnt. In addition TO this it is proper t:
acknowledge the receipt Of a box Of lint anC
bandsges; through the Sanitary Commission
from our Mt. Vernon friends, and lavOrs from
the Commission in addition. And then vi
have nob'e lady neighbor, who in her quiet
unpretending way sends us little things whicl
cur sick need, with that charming tact whicl
is go worthy. and we feel ever under obliga
: lions. The name is Hawthorne, aud surely
will not soon be forgotten by us
This morning we have genuine Kentucl.
