Ed. GQzeftc:-A stroll this beautiful even

see this costry of hills balanced by a strip of
bottom brought up the remembrance Of COX

a gunboat just down out of sight and steam
boat in the distance. We are pleasantly To-
Gated within half mile of the river, close to
"Air Home House." about four miles from
Newport. The regiment occupies a fine gras-

one had not forgotten our wants, for she brought
basket OF fine grapes and bottle of Cataw-
