ANNA Dickinson have had most
excellent opinion Of Miss Anna Dickinson,
the spirited little public speaker. But We
are assured that she charged and pocketsd
the exorbitant sum Of 5000 for lecturins
twice for the benefit of the patriotic Fair,
last week, for the relief of the sick and
wounded soldiers, and We don't think near
as well of her now. She is a smart little
woman, but we cannot say much for the
sincerity of her patriotic professions or her
charitable disposition. In her case "
have one more illustration of how much
easier it is to preach than to practice

We are here doing guard duty and since
we have been here, built up entrenchments
around the place and fortified it in very
creditable manner. If we had some artil.
lery or battery here with US, it would be
decided advantage and don't know but ii
is the intention of those having authority
to do so, but as soldiers are supposed to
know "nothing,' only as they are told, &C,
counts for my not being able to give you
decisive information on the subject.
Co.'s X, G, and B of the 3lst, and Co.'s
X and H of the 22d Wisconsin, comprise
the strength of our force at this place. Dr.
Hatchard Of the 22d, is at present Surgeon
of the detachment, and this much l must
say Of him, that he is universally liked
by the whole detachment, is kind, affable
and very attentive to the wants Of the sick
and seems to take a very great interest in
their welfare: in his last report he reported
sick out Of the 22d and some 80 odd out
of the 3lst and it appears strange to him
how it is that there are so many sick, moi
only here, but throughout our whole regi.
ment, while bis is in very good state Of
health.
suppose we will remain here all winter,
as we have fixed up and built us pretty
comfortable quarters, with that under
standing. | AIN of the opinion that Wheel.

bridge, stockade or detachment; if they
do they bad better come well provided, for

they make US cut down our own bridge as
they did the force that was here short
time before we came. All have to say is
if they think they can do it let them come
on. ..-' .--.
The regiment is filling up now with ne,
