Editors Of. State Journal: For want of
time l have not written you sooner. The
25th and 9th Wisconsin left Columbus,
KY, May 31st, and arrived at Young's
Point June 4th, without any casualties,
which was better than we expected, as a
boat carrying the 10th Iowa was fred
upon, by guerrillss, near the mouth of
White river, on the Arkansas size, a day
or two before. Five men were wounded
and one killed. At that point we found
several gunboats, one OF which conveyed
us near to Lake Providence All along
the river, on both sides below Memphis,
we could see the ruins of burned planta-
,tions and villages.
We, the 25th, the 9th being little in
advance, halted but a short time at
Young's Point, and moved up the Yazoo
to join our Division. We found it at
Satartia, about forty miles up and on the
east side. The Yazoo is very deep
narrow, crooked and sluggish stream. Ii
was with difficulty that our large boat
passed up. The land Oh both sides of the
river ia low and heavily timbered. Sa
tartia is pretty little place, with perhaps
two hundred inhabitants.
When we landed, the 9Th Wisconsin

of our men were killed, but several were
wounded. ....---s.. . ....s-.. .---. :,

in report that fifteen thousand rebel
were advancing upon Us. On the 9th W

We moved down on the east side OF ID

writes from Louisiana to The Boston
Transcript that the camps of the Black
regiments in Gen. Banks's army are mod
els of neatness and order, and that but one
man in the whole command has been pun

seen to fight with more dauntless courage
and devotion than these raw recruits. He
adds:
every man presenting himself to be
recruited strips to the skin, to be survey
ed by the surgeon. We do not except one-
half that offer. On Tuesday, out of 80,
only 33 were accepted. have directed
my surgeons to keep accurate lists Of the
causes of rejection. They report to me
that not one IN fifteen IS free from marks Of

jected because of disability arising from
lashing Nth whips and the biting of dogs
ON their calves and thighs. 1t is frighttul.

reply was that he had no more than he

were empty, and they had none to give.
Well he exclaimed, won't you raise up
my head and place something under it,

fight the soldier raised up the dying
mans head, and made him as comfortable
as be could, then went on in the discharge
