CAMP HAzES, Team, April 18th, 1863.
FRIEND KELLER My attention has just been
called to telegraphc dispatch in the Journal,
of April 10th, dated Cairo, April 4ih, which is
entirely false, and unjust, that feel it my du-
ty to correct it, and give honor to whom honor
belongs The dispatch allude to, gives an ac-
count ofan expedition under Brig. Gen. Huseen
and Col. Edwards to Woodbury., in which about
one hundred of the 4lh Ohio Cavalry, dashed in
so vigorously and were so eager as to spoil a
well laid plan TO catch the rebels. Now the
facts are simply these: the 4th Ohio Cavalry was
not there at all, but all the cavalry accompanying
the expedition the 2d battalion Of the Sd Ohio
cavalry, composed of Companies E. +. A. and
D. Maj. Sidell, commanding. The Infantry and
Artillery were the 1st and I'd Brigades Of the
I'd division 2lst Army Corps The expedition
was commanded by Col. HAGEN, of tho 4Ist Ohio
and instead of about one hundred cavalry we
did not number over sixty, and did all that was
credited TO the fourth, with this difference, we
only moved when ordered by the commanding
officer. Thus you viii sec that the laurels won
by the brave Sd have been given to others. The
fourth Ohio is a good regiment and lam willing
to give them all that Justly belongs to them
Another small circumstance happened between
this place and Woodbury., some three or four
weeks ago, Of which proper credit was not given
the Cd Battalion of the Sd Ohio cavalry. One
Regiment ofrebel Cavalry commanded by Col.
Smith, had this Battalion en,i,ely surrounded.
and they nadea sabre charge, aud cut their way
out, with the loss ofonly eleven taken prisoners
and none killed or wounded, the rebels number
ed about four hundred, and we did not have
over sixty. The report simply states that ii was
a force of Union cavalry about sixty strong
These are the facts in boih cases, and you can
make such use of them as you may sec proper
in order to disabuse the public mind.
Our boys are all very well, we have not a
sick man in Co. D. at present We were paid
again yesterday for January and February and
the men are eager for fight with Rebels South
or copperheads North, il neod be. We all ieel
good over the election news from the North.

While down her cheek, so delicately Iale,
Trickles crystal tear.

While FROM his heaven n-attuned throat there rings

The cost Of the smallest Parrott gun--7-
pounder-is 500; 2O0-pounders $4,000 each
which is said to be one-tenth the cost of the
Armstrong gun The charge of The powder is
one pound to every ten of the ball. and the cost
of powder aud she'll forevery discharge snearly
$40. The weight of the 900 0-pound Parrott is a
umbiad, which carries the $50 pound solid shot

and with All accuracy most astonishing. The

A Case OF Hopefui ConverrIon.

A New Orleans letter in the Prov;1snce Jour

"a lady of this city went across the lake some
time since to find certain friends among the re-
bells. She went from here devoted sympathi-
ser with the rcbel cause, but her experience was
such as was not calculated To inspire her with
any great respect for traitors. She was suspec-
ted Of being Union spy, arrested, imprisoned
and subjected TO gross insults by the rebel off,
GERS. She became converted te the Union cause
by the injustice she suffered, and welcomed our
troops as deliyerers, as they certainly were. Of
course she received respectful and gentlemanly
treatment at the hands Of the Ysnkees'

CAMP UNION, Va, April 18th, 1863
DEAR JouRxAL We hail with joy the hearty
response which our feeble expressions have met
by the people of Bellevue and vicinity. Such
expressions of eternal fidelity to our good old
flag and sympathy with those who defend it,
cannot fail to emulate ny TO deeds of more no6le
daring than has ever yet marked our eventful
military life, The universal uprising ofloyalty
Il r,ut hout the Whole North, can but strength
en- the power of our armies an hundred fold
We look upon these manifestations of earnest
patriotism, as manifestations Of power and de-
termination to put down this rebellion at what
ever cost, as unmistaknable signals that you
are determined to subdue treason at home, and
to support your representatives while battling
a far more honorable rebellion in the feld.-
Please accept & r yourself Mr.. Editor, for doing
us the kindness to ublish our thoughts az We
express them, our heart felt and sincere thanks
We have all faith in our cause and 6e'ieve, that
people who have given birth 10 o"civil aud relig-
ious liberty" who have loosened tho chains of
tyranny, who have dug the grave of despotism
in "by-gone days" arc now prepared to furnish
a still deeper one for American Slavery. The
hum Of commerce shall be its requium, happy
and enlightened millions its pail bearers, the
constitution its disease. and the world renowned
fame OfOur army its epitaph.

men, but, like most disturbances in camp grew
In dimentions until the entire force on both
sides became engaged. 1t was a regular pitched
battle at last in which the commanding officers
joined and fought with desperation. The artil-
lerists were first driven back; the sharpahooters
peppered them in gallant style but in their turn
had 10 fall back before the heavy shot Of the ar
tillersis; and go aerossthe road which separated
the camps. the battle ragged furiously for full
hour--yictory at last perching on the banner Of
the artillerists. The commanding officer, Aus
tin and SlocOmb, received several severe wounds

better last, the surgeons having failed TO provide
sufficient quantities Of the proper medicine.
