Leaving a balance of thirty-nine who

on tuFfeughs and forgotten to return, and
now dropped from the rolls. --
While stationed % Paducah, Ky., the
troops at that post were taken with the
DysenteIy in its most malignant form,=
My men among others suffered severely
to this with measles contracted while in
Camp Dennison, can be charged the most
of the latter list of 80 discharged, &c
From Pittsburg Landing to Corinth, we
had some sickness, but ON the whole, /
think the health of this was much better
than that of most troops ON those terrible
marches through cold, rain aid mud.
Sickness and death Has inevitable in such
a campaign. Much of the tilne our Camp
e1uippage was several days behind, leay-
ing lAO W S4CCp vi lllE wet
with nothing but what they could carry,
to cover and protect them from cold winds
and soaking rains. | think / will never
forget the first night on Pea Ridge. the
Gibraltar of Corinth.
Since the evacuation of Corinth, and
our march from thence, we have enjoyed
almost perfet health. Our stay in La
Grange and Memphis, Tenn, was most
opportune, giving rest and an oppportuni-
ty to repair and fix Up generally. l have
had Lieutenant lBurdick1 on reetuitiag
service since September, who is now in
Columbus, Q. with men enough to fill the
Battery. We expect him back in few
days. when we will again have full ranks
l am happy to say for my Battery, that
its reputation stands high at Department
and Division Headquarters, both for good
conduct before the enemy and in camp.
Our boys are very jealous of their good
name, and we fatter ourselves that Gov.
Tod has not better Battery in the field
than US. We are called the Sharp
Shooters of the Hatchie." While in Boil
ivar, Tennessee, we received new horses,
harness, &C., making our equipment most
complete. We are now in good condition
for the campaign before Us, BY telegraph
you are undoubtedly posted from day to
day on our movements into Dixie l will
say we have just driven Price from his
strong hold in Northern Mississippi, and |
we viii now probably keep him travelling
TO Jackson or some other inland town.
/ need not say our army isin splendid trim
for fighting or marching, We prefer the
former, however. cannot close without
the name of Artifcer Thos. |
McQuiston, of Warren, WHICH appears in
my list of dead Tom was known by
many in and about Warren. But few
better soldiers are in the service than he, |
previous to his entering the hospital. He
was much beloved by both officers and
men, A deep gloom spread over all at
the announcement of his death. He was
a kind and brave man, possessing the
right material for Q soldier. Irecord JAS
d. Anderson of Warren as dead, He was
sent to the hospital boat at Bittsburg
Landing in May very low with Fever,
since which time | have heard nothing
from him. He is undoubtedly dead. !
am uninformed as to the residence of his
friends but think they live at or near
Beaver, Pa. If any such should see this
notice, / will be pleased to hear from them
as have funds in my hands belonging to
lis estate, and can render them assistance
IN collecting back pay. - = II
Our constant marches sometimes makes
It somewhat questionable how to direct
