With freedoms soil beneath our feet
And freedoms banner streaming Ger us.

tic horrors Of the battle field. WtoI
the advance of the army crossed the Bull
Run battle field, we halted just at the
point where the conflict was the most
terrific, and many TO answer their curios-

field many soldiers were found unbu-
ried and portions Of those who bad been
slightly covered were plain to be seen.--
One rebel was laying just at the foot OF
an oak tree against which he seemed TO
have rested and died, The body had
never been covered and Of course nothing
remained of him but his bones. A young
and innocent looking fellow stepped to
him and quietly extracted a tooth and
placed it in his pocket, and says he " this
is the fate Of n soldier!"
Quite an amusing affair took place
while there. a member of the 9th New

CANT NEAR Fort SCoTT, J
VA, Nov. II, 1862. {

Mr.. Edrle--Dear Sir--It has been
some little time sinceS have written you,
and thinking you might not be Gispleased
to hear from the Vermont Cavalry again,
| will devote part Of my time to-day
in writing you n short letter.
Probably it is with you as it is with
the ,oldiers-one Of the most uninterest-
ling periods Of the whole war, occasioned
by the advance of the great army of the
Potomac under its new and popular lead.
er, and ii would seem the irrevocable re-
moval Of It's idolized leader Mcclellan.
10 know that Mcclellan was greatly be-
loved by his army one had only to quiz
ely pass through the different corps, d.
visions and brigades, and listen 10 the
universal praise which was awarded to
him by officers and men. Great excite
mcnt prevailed in the army when his re.
moval was announced; almost every
man expressed deep regret that he was
removed some said, 1.-THE country is
ruined and we can't fight under any other
man" But when the cooler moments Of
reflection came all resolved to support
the government ia its action, for they felt
that it had placed true ard noble sol
der a. the head Of the army, and all they
desired was a man who would lead them
to victory and to such victory as would
terminate this rebellion unparalleled in
the history Of nations.
Probably there is not an officer in the
Geld who enjoys more confidence of the
troops than does Gen. Burnside, but it is
yet to be proven that he can handle an
army like the army of the Potomac in
the face Of such generals as Lee, Jack
son aud Longstreet. The armies are in
motion, and ii will be but short time
before they will be face to face in deadly
conflict; the skill Of our general will be
tried, and it ought to be the prayer of ev-
cry true and loyal man that he will not
be found wanting.
1t is a very noticeable fact that the
rebels have most diligently improved the |
lime which they had in removing all the
slaves north of the Rappahan-
lock within their lines, the emancipa-
ion bin will hardly reach them unless we
iefeat the rebel army.
1t is strange how hardened men can
become who are accustomed TO witness

Nov. l7th, 1862.

ANON' iflus 1CO-'
Friend Earie,--I wrote you in my
last letter that the five regiments OF rine
months men from Vermont were all uni
ted in one brigade, under the command
Of Col. Blunt of the l2th, and would
probably remain at Capitol Hill for some
time, but Alas for human expectations.
We had just pitched our tents after
march Of about six miles when the order
came for us to march back to Camp Sew
ard as soon as possible. Accordingly we
struck our tents next morning at day.
light, and soon the Vermont brigade was
on It's way across Long Biidee 10 the 10
called) sacred soil of Virginia. As our
noble regiments moved proudly along
Pennsylvania Avenue, we heard many
Of the people on the crowded streets re
mark that they had never seen brigade
composed OF so many stout, healthy and
noble looking men before. Many of the
citizens and tradesmen threw out our ma
tional flag as we passed, and as we moved
past them long and hearty cheers were
given by our brave Green Mountain Boys
for the stars and stripes OF our country.
Alter remaining at Camp Seward -four
days VIC were again ordered to move, and
we picked up things in hurry, and were
soon on the march. We struck tent,
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and ar,

Then followed the unpleasant task f
erecting our shelter tents Gas but few Of
the others had arrived) by the light Of
the moon, which by the way did not ii>e
till morning, or else it set before night, so
the boys said, and l believe they never
have come TO reasonable conclusion
what did become of the moon that night.
Col Grout kindly gave up his tent 70,
the accommodation of our company, and
we managed TO get through the night
much more comfortably than we at first
anticipated. The next morning we loca
ted ourselves on our present camping
ground, which is about IL miles from
Alexandria, Va. We are cutting timbe,
for barracks and expect to stay here du
ring the winter. Our business is doiga
picket duty, ehopping wood, working Oh

things too numerous to mention. Five

poorer class remain loyal. Several Of
the Union inhabitants visited our station
while out on picket, and your humble SER
want had occasion to tender his thanks to
several of them for various donations OF
hoecake and milk during the two days we
were absent from camp. OF those who
nave fed from their homes on the ap-
proach of their defenders we can truly
say in the words of the poet:
True patriots they, for be it understood,
They left their country for their counry's good"
We have had one death in our company /:

We have had little Sickness in our com

in the southern states. We have had six
