From TIE eeth Regiment.


! 1.-THE following letter has been handed u
for publication by J. G. ALEXANDER. former
y Of Company K, Goth Regiment, who wa
seriodsl7 wounded at the battle of Ceda
Mountain, and having been honorably dis
charged has returned to his old home
BoLIvER H1GHrs, VIRoGNIA,
November 25lh, 1852.
Friend J. C. Alsrander Il take my pei
in hand to inform you that l am again in th'
regiment doing soldiers duty, and it begins Il
come natural again. though at first it went
very awkward.
We left Alexandria few days afler yor
left, aud the regiment was just moving ovel
from Loudon Higbts the day we arrived here
ard everything was upside down, as you Eay
expect, on the moving of a camp We have
a very good place for our camp, but ths water
is most too far off.
Our Division WIS out on a scout some two
weeks ago. They went out beyond Chaf!ss-
ton, Va, but did not see anything but a few
Secesh cavalry, and they kept at good dis
tance. Fer the last 8 days our Brigade has
been guarding chOpping party. in eEder to
chop some timber down that we may have Il
fair view of the rebels should they cone, and
to have good chance tG shell them. Those
of cur company that are present are, Lieuts-
Sampson and Clark Sergeants Smith and
Barry; Corpora's Bower, MorEisoa, Peak
and myself; Pryates Burus, Corbin, Gibbs,
keIcb, Newhouse, Penry, Rhodes, Stoekman,
Stokes, Sprawl, Sweetland, Shaw, Trout,
Teedlebaugh, Van Brimer, Webb, Beckmeu
and Bishop. PARKER and Bailey are here yet.
but their discharges are ready and they viii
start home in a day or two. STeet is ca
brigade duty! Hutch and Sayer are ou cattle
guard, and the balance of the boys are Ut the
different hospitals and convalesceEt camps
Some are being discharged, aud some are ex-
pected to join the regiment soon. Oar regi-
ment has received new Springfield rifles, Few
over. coats, blankets, aud other clothing that
we need, with the exception Of gloves, which
you are aware our Captain has sent Us, but
they have not yet been received. We have
also new suier, j. I. Strong, formerly su;ler
of the 92d n. Y. Regiment.
We received orders yesterday not to drill
any more fer the present, but to fix ap our
winter quarters They are to be constructed
Of timber on the bottcan, feet high, . h5or
laid ou this and then two tents are placed on
the floor, one for sleeping apartment-the
other, with stove in il, for setting room
From preparations going on il camp il is not
likely we will leave here soon. G. 4. Turner
remained at Alexandria to drive team. Finch
went to the hospital at Washington. This is
about all the news that I have to write at
present You get the war news as soon, If
not sooner, than we do The Paymaster has
not been around Jet, and we are scarce OF
money, but hope and expect he viii be here
soon.

A correspondent; OF the German;own Tele-
graph says that this Is question upon which
there always has been and perhaps always viii
be difference Of opinion. The depth rcquir-
ed must depend on be kind Of soil; Tor if the
soil is hard one, en- top Of herd; gravelley
one, do not Sud that there is Dsuch ad,aataee
in going far into the hard pan. If, on the 9TH
er hand, tie subsoil is loose ard more easily
dug, there is an advantage to be derived from
going deeper! My rule is, TO guage the drains
by their distance apart. Let the de pin be
ono-seventh OF their distance asui der, and it
will secnre thorough drainage. II the sub
soil Is hard, and The digging expensive, then
do not sink the drains 50 deep, bat place them
closer together, but hold ON the above rule.
In many cases, especially where tile are ascd.
1t will be more economical to silk the drain
one foot deeper, and by so doing save nre.sev-
entb Of the tile; but here tie caa be cheaply
procured, this is not always tie case. For
a farm drain prefer them about foar feet
deep with an opening formed Of Gat stone il
the bottGm, ard Ibis covered with small stone
to within twenty inches Of the top Tie lat-
Ter are not necessary ifihose forming the open
ing are covered with reversed sods.
