ONCE more, by permission of Providence from
the hills of Virginia. we cast in mite to the
Journal, for the benefit of our friends in Wood
county Since last writing, General Lander's com
mend (of which we are part) has done but little
in the way Of fighting, but never yet failed in per-
forming its duty, in holding its position along the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, from New Greek TO
Hancock, and in instance routing the rebels at
Bloomery. On the 18th Of this month, some seven
or eight regiments, including the 9th Ohio, took
up march on the Winchester road, at fouroclock in
being in the rear after marching about five miles it
was asccrtaned that the two regiments were
to take different route from the other part Of the
command, in order to cut off the enemy in their re-
treat, but having passed the road two miles back,
we obliged tn return 20 said road, and by this
means lost four miles of hard labor, up and down
those high hills. We then marched on until three
o'clock in the morning, when came to a halt,
stacked arms, and without building fires making
any noise, we laid ourselves down on the damp
ground, and from the effects of our tresome march
of l6 miles, soon fell asleep. At five, we were
noiselessly called to arms, and resumed our march,
wading the Little Cacapoon, which was about 80
inches deep, and very cold. We soon stepped,
however, and consecrated about 1000 sccesh rails
to our own comforts. Here we learned that our
gallant General had routed the enemy without our
aid killing l3 and capturing 50 prisoners, includ-
ing IS commissioned oilc, RS, the Gen. taking three
of said officers, without other help.
AT 3 o'clock p, n. we started back for camp, nr-
irving at midnight. Many of tho hoys. hA."s H-,
fell out by the way, and did not get in until the
next day. This being first march Uf any ac-
count, great many Of the boys were tired out
and some are yet unable to perform duty. Among
the sick OF Co., H., from Perrysburg, who are at
present in the hospital az Cumberland, the fol-
lowing:
r. Davidson, Of Webster Township A. Grffon,
A. Fowlar of Plain F. Hartman, of Plain; j. F..
Paine of the same place S. Ringleka, of Portage,
John and Martin Wical Of Henry. Wm Haney,
has returned and looks well. Lieut.. Albert, and Ii.
Wigant, are not drowned, as of the Perrysburg
friends supposed, neither taken prisoners never
having been out on a scout. except when the regi-
ment went.
The part of the country whero We are in camp
is very muddy and unhealthy, and at present the
67th only reports 800 men At for duty, Co. H. being
as highly favored with good health as any in the
regiment.
The anniversary Of the 22nd was duly appreciat-
ed, aud regarded here by the command Gen.
Lander reviewed the different regiments max
ing brief but thrilling speech to each. He spoke
very highly Of the 9th, saying that he had never
heard of any misconduct in its members, and that
he was proud of ii. He is man whose appearance
and style Of speech commands the respect and best
wishes of all the men, and one whom we would all
be ready to follow in battle.
We are blessed with the daily papers, every two
or three days, from which we occasionally get the
news of the success of army at various points
and the boys getting uneasy, for fear of not hav
ing opportunity to try their hands in this war
fare. Our thanks 10 the ladies of Toledo, for a
splendid banner, and the ladies of Columbus, for
many favors, before leaving there. Also to Mrs
Root, of Plain for the nice blankets presented us
which adds much TO our comfort, these cold, damp
nights. While we have such kind friends at home
we stand ready and willing to fight or die if need
be- for the protection Of their homes and ours Long
may the Union stan !, and the flag 1oat "oer the
land Of the free and the home Of the brave"
