"Such is life, aud still We live Au-
other season Of unpleasant weather is
about to depart, which will relieve US from
the horror Of "s.icking 10 the mud," and
from the uDpleasausuess Of terrible muddy
roads.
With the unsiriug energy Of Gen.
Hooker, aud oil the officers 10 the various
departments, everything has been sccum-
pIisbed that csn be done to render the
army efficient for another summer cam
paign oil that 10 Dov necessary is good
weather and passabls roads; and our
friends will yet learn that the army Of the
Potomac is not 80 badly demoralissd after
all, As some would have it. Our regi-
ment il but skeleton of its former self !;
many have been killed in sction, some
have lied, aud . large number we're
discharged. Three companies arc de-
tacbed for provost duty at Division Head
Quarters, and Col. Brooke is in command
Of brigade. The seven remaining CON-
panies are under command Of Ii. Col. X.
MMichaeI. Our company roll mustered
80 men when We came in the service
now We report 80 names present, and this
is the largest company in the Regiment.
Capt. r. H. Sohreyer, commanding Co.
H., (promoted from first 1t. vice NJ. q
Tate, dismissed is . we'll disciplined off,
Ger. He has been in command of The
Company since the battle of Fair Oaks,
aud was wounded twice at Antietam.
Second Ii. d. Huff has been promoted to
first Lieut., aud 6rss Sergeant S. W. Plat,
to second Lieut.. Lieut.. Beech Ammon, Of
company Z is still among the things tha.
be. He is one Of those good fellows
seldom met, the life Of the Regiment, sni
a noble patriot. So much for the SD,
aud now a word for our friends, and those
who are not our friends ct home.
We Democrats iu the army do not BY
any means agree With . certain class of
newspapers and politicians 10 the North,
who are openly proclaimiug treason, and
aiding the rebels under the guise Of
Democracy. They are not good Demo.
Gratis, neither are their actious in accord.
suce with true Democratic principles.
Such men as Vallandigham, Olds, Cox
and all who advocate their cause, are
traitors Of the deepest dye. Democrats,
Republicans, Abolisionists, oil claim to be
for the Uoion then Why should suy be
so exscting With the President and Admin
when they are using every effort
to weaken the South and crush the
rebellion? 1t is true, We are tired of war,
aud long for the enjoyment Of civil life
but then We want no dishonorabls peace
no compromise With traitors. Let the
rebellious South lay down their arms,
sckonwledge submission, and return to
their allegiance, then all may be we'll
but otherwise We have no prospect Of .
permanent peace. Every rebel must FIRST
be conquered, or laid 10 bis grave. The
army is . unit 10 this sentiment; within
our hearts is still centred tho cheering
hope, that the "Old Flag" will wave
lriumpbsn.ly in the end; that the
Southern Confsderscy will speedily sink
into oblivion, aud that secession sympathi-
Eers, ,in the North will be driven like ours
70 their hiding places, cres,.fallen and
,bsshed at their own trsitorous and siD-
cursed maebins,ions, TO destroy our glor-
Ous republic.
The accompanying lines, arc the last
verse Of . song sent me BY lady friend.
They are very appropriate, 10 speaking of
shat tho soldiers will do when they return
,ome:
When the war 10 done. veil homo return,
The home we love % dear, sir,
We'll soundly kick and eud the ours,
Nov barking in cur rear, sir. |
