ed for the water power! This may be true
or not but it is a fact that the secesh have
stolen most Of the oyster beds Of Chesa-

of 40 acres, and now at the end Of four
years some miserable devil of Davis ite

an occasional can at very small cost.

We are now located at Camp Dunlap,
near Rolla, Mo. There have been several
of Capt. Crookc's company sick with the
measles. Alfred E. Hall is dead.
The boys seem to be enjoying themselves
patronizng the sutler and pitching quoits,
after drill hours. The reports circulated
at Sterwbary Point, Of the regiment having
been in battle, are Of course untrue, the
men have not yet all had opportunity to
give their guns maiden shot in field
practice.
Capt. Crooks Co, is still without their
Orderly who was left at home, sick. The
Captain is laid up with CALLED foot, from
wearing tight boots, and the st Lieut.. has
been promoted to Post Adju,ant at the
town Of Rolla.
They had a midnight alarm one nigh,
which tested the time necessary to find
each man ready for service, one of the little
diversions used by officers sometimes te
! try the promptness Of the regiment.
