FROM TIRE l03D.-We have received a
letter from member of the lO3d Ohio regi-
ment, dated at Camp Wells, near Williams
town, Ky, October 18th, 1852. The camp is
in Grant county, two miles north of Williams
town, and thirty-fve miles from Covington,
on the Lexington Pike. The regiment has
been under numerous commanders. When
the brigade first entered Kentucky, it was
commanded by Gen. Judah, who was super
oeded by Col. swayne, acting Brigadier, who
gave way to Gen. Gilmore. The latter being
ordered to Western Virginia, Gen. Judah
again assumed command After few days
Gen. Judah was again removed and Gen.
Burbridge appointed. Now Gen. Burbridgo
Is installed commander Of the division, and
the Brigadiership again devolves upon Col
SWayne. An impression prevailed that the
division would move forward very soon. Bad
water has acted injuriously upon the 1O3d
Regiment, making many of them sick. Ad-
jutant J. S. White has been sick, but is bet
ter now. Lieut. Chas. E. Sergeant has been
acting Adjutant.
