when they turned up at St. Louis. II

Of about twelve miles day. One day
they marched twenty. eiGh. miles They

marched, over awful roads. 10 miles in
thirteen days Why this unmsrcilul
march was ordered a, this season of Tie
year. when there vas a railroad near by.
is more than we can tell. 1t seems to US
to have been unn ccssary and was an i'm,
position upon the under officers and men.
Perhaps some Major Generals know their
duty, bu. it appears to be bad policy, to
say the least of it, to wear out our men
with fatiguing marches when they are
unnecessary.
The Fifth left St. Louis on the even
ing of the day Of their arrival, the 10Th
irst., for Cairo, on the steamer Edward
Walsh. We learn that the same boat
had many more troops besides, in all
about 1,+00, and large number Of
mules, an immense quantity Of baggage,
&c. When last heard from the Regiment
