A DEFINITION OF YANKEE.--As the Yam
KEGS are creating no little excitement, in the
commercial. political, and military world,
hope my definition of a real genuine male
Yankee, may not be considered a miss. SIS
A real genuine Yankee is full OF animation
checked by moderation, guided by dete rmin-
ed. and supported by education. s.4s
He has veneration corrected by federation
with love OF self appreciation and emulation
and when reduced to state OF aggravation,
can assume the most profound discrimination
for the purpose of retaliation. always COM
bined. If possible, with speculation.
A live Yankee, just caught will be found
not deficient in the following qualities:
He lis self-denying. self relying, Away try
ing. and into everything prying. -
He is lover Of piety, propriety, notoriety
and temperance society. - s' Ass
He is dragging, gagging, Dragging, stri-
wing, thriving, swopping, jostling, bustling,
wrestling. musical, quizzieal, astronomical,
poetical, philosophical, aud comical sort Of 8
character, whose manifest destiny is to spread
civilization to the remofest corners of the
earth, with the eye always on the lookout for
tho main chance.

ALL Is FOR THE BEST.

Repine not thou when dark days come, .,.
For come they surely must,
Nor let misfortune's surging storms,
Prostrate thee in the dust; s.saes 4 X
But bravely stem the rising waves,
With hope within thy breast,
Remember-with faithful heart
That all is for the best
Have courage in the darkest hour,
And tears and means despise,
For oft thy SORROWS and thy woes tt
Are angels in disguise.
Let hope and faith within thy soul
Be each a welcome guest, =
To whisper thee--cheer up, cheer up,
For all is for the best"
Then fling away all foolish fear,
Be foremost in the van,
Trust like child in Heavens God,
While acting like man.
Confide in Him and freely tell
The sorrows in thy breast,
Hope-and be happy in the thought
That all is for the best.

Mr.. EDIroR:-With pleaure l send
you few lines respecting the welfare
and prosperity Of the oath Regiment, and
Company "B," 10 particular. We are
now quite comfortably 6xed to enjoy our
selves as soldiers, and though We are not
so well cared for as when enjoying the
blessings Of the "old homestead" &c:
We are thus far being amply supplied
with all the real neccssaries Of life Eek
cept good water). believe all are we'll
satisfied in every other respect Weare
furnished with very comfortable bar
racks, which afford sufficient shelter
from storm and rain; but from last
Thursday nights experience, think the
assistance of our new blankets will not
come amiss in keeping out "Jack Frost"
On Saturday last We received our caps,
coats, pants, and blankets. The rest of
the clothing for the oath is already on
the ground-ready to be distributed as
soon as We are mustered into the service.
Capt Henderson,, the mastering officer,
is expected here soon to muster in, and
pay each one his twenty seven dollars
bounty. Then if the kind friends of
"Old Cedar" wish to see some high.
headed, gay boys, we respectfully invite
them to pay us visit while our bounty
lasts, and clothes are new.
There is truly a marked change in
appearance already at camp Blue pants
and brass buttons may now be seen NOV
ing in almost every direction. And all
our friends from the city and country
Ground about" are coming in daily to
see the boys in their new clothes.
1t is the common remark of all, field
officers not excepted, that Capt Rath-
buns company contains tho largest, finest
looking, and best drilled set of men that
is to be found in the two regiments that
are quartered here.
As yet but little sickness prevails. -
There has been number of slight COM
plants, but only few serious ones in
the entire camp. John Pitman is the
only one who has ne to the hospital
from our company. lie is better and is
thought will soon return to his company.
The camp is furnished with quite COM
Portable hospital, Of sufficient size to hold
the few who have been sick, and VIC
hope not to have more on the sick list,
than will fill it while We remain here.
All are now getting anxious to be mus.
tered into service, and receive their arms;
and then we want to "movc on" to the
field of action.

~ Loraiu County, Ohio, is perhaps
the strongest abolition county in that
State. 1t is there, moro particularly iu
Oberlin, one Of its towns, that negro
equality is taught and Aourishes 10 its
rankest growth The signifcau: fact
follows, that out Of 1892 enrolled men
10 the county, no less than 2,2O3 have
applied for exemption. Thus it is where.
ever abolition is strongest there is patri.
otism the weakest Nuscatine Courier.
1t may be that the above figures are
true, although VIC doubt it very much,
but the conclusion drawn from them is
not correct. Lorain county has sent
more than one third Of her able bodied
men to the war, and Russia township, in
which Obcrlin is situated ha, sent more
than one third, almost one half, Of her
able bodied men to fight the common
enemy, while the Judge" who dreams
Of Congressional celebrity, says at home
to vilify them as "abolitionists There
is but one township in the county that
has sent greater proportion Of its men
to the war, than has Russia "The
Judge" says, that in Oberlin, "negro
equality is taught and Aourishes in its
rankest growth" That is a matter of
opinion which VIC will not now stop to
controvert, but We defy "the Judge" to
name a single instance in which mar.
rage between a white and black per.
son has taken place in Oberiin. While
the Courier is filled with denuncistious
of the Administration, and the abolition.
lists, among whom it classes all Republi.
cans, and has no word to say in behalf
Of our belcagured Republic, it cannot
expect the supported the great masses
of the people, nc matter by what name
they are called. The people want this
rebellion put down, and that too in the
speedicst manner possible, without re-
gard to the feelings Of the rebels. If
the Courier docs not, it is out of time
ard out Of place.

Rev. NJ. X. Cross, Sec, &C.:
Dear Fiend:-After | wrote to YOU
at St. Louis, visited the hospitals there,
| first visited 9th Street Hospital. l
found none Of our boys there, but found
the hospitals better supplied with mate
rial than any other had visited. | then
went to Benton Barracks, where | found
none but convalescents, among whom
Mcclure, and +. T. Edwards They
complained of nothing but their victuals
Whatever they had besides the army ra-
tious they were obliged to buy, while at
the other hospitals iu St. Louis aud keo-
kuk the regular rations were commuted
or exchanged for butter, fruit and veget-
ables, SO as to have variety, and also
have the diet agree with the prescrip-
ton Of the physician. | next went to
the Good Samaritan Hospital, the Marine
Hospital, and the New House of Refuge;
these we're we'll supplied, we'll ventilated,
and are situated in pleasant positions in
the suburbs Of the city. The Good Sa-
marian is about ?! miles from the land
ing and near the reservoir at the north
end Of the city; the Marine Hospital is
about miles south and the New House
of Refuge is 3 miles southwest. The
latter, when the war broke out, was be
ing erected for the care Of orphans aud

verted into a military hospital. The
Sisters of Charity arc nurses here-(the

who say they are the best nurses they

of Refuge on Sunday and witnessed a
scene SO we'll calculated to make good
soldiers and good citizens that | could

The minister, who was young soldier
himself, spoke very earnestly and elo-
quently of the necessity of soldiers being
always ready to die, and Of the difference
between the life and death Of the pious
soldier and those of the unconyerted one,
after which he gave an account of his
personal labors with different persons,
and how out of those small beginnings
grew the present interest which was
manifested by great many, and whether
