FROM THE NINTH REGIMENT.
WINouEsrER, Va, July 81, '62.

WINoHEsTER, Va, July 81, '62.
Mr. EDrroR:-We have once more got
our tents pitched on beautiful eminence,
overlooking the noted village of Winch
ester, where secession is prevalent and
soldiers quite plenty. We started from
the Ferry at o'clock. 1t took near 5
hours to run here-a distance of 80 miles.
1t was most beautiful country, but the
toughest railroad that | ever rode over ;
nothing more than timbers laid down
with bars of iron spiked on them. The
country through the valley shows the et-
fects of war to a considerable extent
houses burned and pillaged, bridges torn
out, fences gone, corn and grain choked
out by weeds, and things gcnerlly look as
though they have had "severe letting
alone" for the past season.
Secession proclivities stick out quite
prominent here at Winchester One wo-
man come into the camp of one of the
regiments here yesterday for salt. The
boys let her have the salt, then politely
asked her to take the oath of allegiance,
which she fatty refused to do, and con-
sequently she stopped here on the hill
last night. While our boys were in the
village a man spit in one of their faces,
calling him id Yankee rebel. The
soldier knocked him down as politely as
he could, and walked on with his compa-
ny. They are fortifying this hill on all
Sides not knowing how soon we may be
called on to meet the foe. Forty men
from Co. H. for labor, and thirteen for
picket was the first detail, this morning.
Many are worn out, moving about, so that
our sick list is quite large this morning.
Every man that is fit for duty has been
called on to-day. The enemy is on three
sides of u.s. and we are liable to be at.
tackled at any time. The pickcts bring
in prisoners almost every day.
We have hard duties to perform here,
and hearts ready and willing to perform
them.
One more man, from Go. e, lost his
fingers on the railroad at Harper's Ferry.
That makes two less in our regiment, al
ready, for duty. 1t is very warm here
to-day for labor but it must be done.

CAMP NEAR WINCHESTER, Va,
July %, 1862.

Mr.. EDITOR Our camp here is a
beautiful grove. The ground rough and
stony. The boys are all at work an a
large earthwork just to the south of our
camp, excepting q few who do picket du-
ty in front of this place.
Lost night about 10 o'clock the picket
alarmed the camp, the long roll" beat
and such falling out and falling in |
never saw before. The Col. ordered
Lights out, and then such confusion
Some could not find their guns, others
could not find their equipments, and al
though perfect silence was required, one
would think the camp was infested by a
horde of rebels. Many of the boys were
pretty much excited and although strict
orders were given not to load gun, many
of them had to load before they could
take their places in the ranks. One poor
fellow came to me with his gun under one
arm, and cartridge box and belt over the
other, and begged of me to load his gun,
/ for he said he did not know how, and he
expected the rebels then every minute. |
told him not to load until he had orders,
and he had better take his place in the
ranks. Capt. Slayton and Lieut. Guyer
Loveland was not very well, but he was
on hand. Some of the sick boys turned
out that were not really able. After we
had formed in line near the rife pits, and
stood about an hour, an orderly came and
said all was right and that we might 60
to our quarters. This morning the boys
are talking over the matter and most of
them make out that they were on hand,
/ perfectly cool and collected, and wish
that the enemy had come, little thinking
but what they can fight as well as we'll
drilled soldiers. We are in rather pre-
carious situation here, there not being
over 5000 for duty on the hill, and no
other troops in sight. We may leave
this place, | am thinking, one of these
nights, for we know of nothing to pre-
vent an enemy from moving down the val
ley on either side of us. We are near
the road where Banks made his retreat.
The country shows that an army has
passed along. The fences are mostly
stone walls, and the gaps show where the
men passed through. The weather is
very warm, but the boys stand it finely.
Every man that can do duty is at work

Financial and Commercial.
WARREN- Anril 1st- 1S6.

WARREN, April lst, lS62-
Business in this place has been dull for
weeks past, owing in a great degree to the
state of the roads, which have been so
impossible as to be almost a blockade to
local trade. As Spring opens out, how
ever, more activity is discernable among
dealers. Our merchants generally have
not yet made their spring purchases
Several viii leave this and next week for
the east to replenish their stocks. We.
understand that there is abundance of.
money in the Western Reserve Bank, and
that acceptable paper is freely discounted.
1t is stated this Bank has seldom had
more funds on hand than at present.
The New York World, in an elaborate
and apparently carefully written article on
the commercial prospects of the country,
states that there is now twice the amount
of currency that was ever before known
in the United States.
We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette
that some of the country Banks-those of
Indiana particularly-having adopted the
demand note mode of redemption, are
coming into that market and undertaking
the city bankers for paper. The Indiana
banks, that journal says, have 50, GOA, 600
of returned notes which they will try and
put into use. The eastern banks will also
probably attempt to get a large western
circulation.
Apprehensions are felt in many quar-
tiers that this expansion will lead to ex-
portation of specie, imitation and ultimate
collapse. This, we think will depend up
on the kind of currency allowed to circu-
late. Treasury notes, having for security
the whole property of the nation, cannot
greatly depreeiate, but if they are with
held from circulation, and the banks are
permitted to expand indefinitely, we will
have repetition of former experiences.

Brookfeld Correspondence.

MEssEs. EDIroRs:-We have no news of
moment, to communicate. That which
excites the most pleasure, just at this
time, is the stirring of new sugar, of
which, | can ASSN you, there has been a
great deal done within the last few days,
for every man that has dozen sugar trees
is making sugar. There will be a very
large moun made in this township this
Spring.
The mud, which has been very deep for
a week or two, is getting much dried up,
within two or three days, so that people
begin to get out more, and business is
reviving a little. The coal fever is abating
somewhat, the prospect for opening this
summer, being rather poor at present. 1t
is a time of general good health; l believe.
there are but two or three cases of sick
ness in town, and those on the gain. Oar

the whole line stocked up as o o as prae-
ticaele. There is just now a scarcity of
men, but this deficiency will soon wear
away. 1t cannot be premature to say
that the road will be in running condition
during the year 1862, to Akron. All con-
nected with the Road are hopeful, and
there is the best authority for saying that
all the money needed for the completion
of the line to Akron, will be furnished as

is believed is not sensational" but no
more than the facts and figures amply

Freaks of the Weather.

The weather has been spicy the past
week at least it has been made up of
variety, an element, according to an old
adage, akin to spice. Thursday and Fri
day were redolent with sunshine and
birds; but on Saturday the elements were
on a rampage, and treated us to a snow
storm worthy of mid-winter. On Satur-
day night there were flashes of tightening
and peals of thunder that reminded peo-
pie of the electric gusts of July and Au-
gust.

Making.

There will probably be more maple SUI
gar and molasses made in this region, the
present season, than in any previous year.
The high prices sugars and syrups have
rated at since the Southern supply has
been cut off, induced general attention to
homemade sweets by farmers this spring.
1t is a fortunate fact worth noting too,
that sap contains about 100 per cent. more
saccharine substance this Spring, than it
has usually. Five pounds of sugar has
been the quantity ordinarily obtained
from 40 gallons of sap. This year the
product is ten pounds of sugar to that
quantity of sap. In numbers of instances
care is taken to secure a superior article
of sugar. We have seen several samples
of the grained article that was clear and
nice. We have seen none so fair and per-
fectly grained as some made by Mrs. Wy
att Mckay, of Brookfeld. The best No.
l Orleans sugar could not beat it.
