U. S. Army GENERAL HosPITAL,

My DEAR FATHER Il am really sorry my
dear Bon Pe1e, to hear you express yourself as
you do in relation to the troubles of our conn
Try. You say you have little hope Of the tri-
umph of our cause. I regret that you are
obliged tc think So | have great deal ct
hope yet-aud if had not should think it
better for me to keep STILL than to express my
self disgusted discouraged or disheertened
with the aspect of affairs at the present time
You predict that oar country is TO be broken

say you think the time is not far distant. Now
fer niy life, " | cannot see it in that ligbt."-
We, as Americans must never think of con-
senting to any such thing. | can, for my part,
see no way which we will be bettered by such
an arrangement. On the contrary, it seems
to me that the only way we can have peace
aud happiness again, is with unity all over the
land Immediately to act-and act with will
for it is certain that if we do not conquer
the rebels, we will be conquered. We must
sink or swim, live or die. | know just as well
as any one that the strong party in the north
now is this consei vative peace party-I hope
that you are not (and never will be) Identified
with this element. | think that it is time that
the American people awoke TO a sense of this
struggle we are engaged in, and lay aside all
party organizations and partisan fueds, and
stand shoulder to shoulder, and bear the bur
then together-and think that notwithstand

burning beneath them, that will, ere long,
burst to their view and consume these north

take place that will sound the knel of rebel.

Atlantic to the Pacific. | think that such
men as Valandigham, Seymour, Wood, and

The old man and daughter acknowledged
they were " a smart lot of men," The Lieu
tenant, who was chewing away at the noe
cake, told them that " this 'aint anything, for

The Lieutenant paid for the hoecake in our
coin, for the old lady thought that Cesfeder-

Regiment got into camp all wet aud worn out

There is plenty Of provisions for the men,
and plenty Of forage for the horses, and we

might be seen from their banehed cheeks and

" that rum and drunken officers, mad dooe

all rebeldom could ever do-that if the ap.

GREEN MANURE -MilIet or oats will make
a good crop to turn under before sowing fall
wheat. At the present price of oats, millet
seeu will be much the cheapest If the soil is
infested by weeds, buckwheat may be used.
Sow early and plow in as soon as it is in fow-
err and then sow for another crop to be plowed
under first, before sowing the wheat.
