CAMP NEAR WHITE OAK CHURCH, VA, }
March IA, 1868.

IhHICn ii, 1000,
'a- EDITOR FREEMAN Once more am back TO
camp and once more with the old Second Regi.
ment in the field. You may be sure it was a
most pleasant experience to meet my old com.
rades In arms, those whom battle AID disease has
spared. Now propose short chat with the
FREEMAN which has SO kindly INDUCED me many
times before. Six months have flown into eter.
NIFTY since was with the regiment before, and
during that six months many changes have been
made IN the army and in the regiment. Our
much loved General has been removed, our
Colonel and Lieut. Colonel have resigned and
gone home, and many of the lire officers have had
their places filed by others. But nearly two
years of war has made still sadder havoc among
the men in the ranks. Scarcely twenty-five per
cent oil tbs men who originally composed this
regiment are left. Last winter four of US tented
together and Of the four two are dead. one killed
at Savage Stati ard the other died in a hospital,
and one other is at home in a state of health bv
no means hopeful. On the Peninsula at New
port News, four Others and myself one stormy
day went into the woods, a little one side of the
camp, and built US comfortable log house, Gov
ering it with our rubber blankets, and there we
mutually pledged TO stand by each other in time
of danger, and many were the plans we laid in
the air Of our future prospects when the war was
over. Of the four one has been discharged, but
the other three sleeping their | S, sleep Such
is war. Many and indeed most all that now are
left could relate simillr experiences. But | was
going to speak Of evente more recent,
oh Wednesday, Mich 4th, a squad of GONZALES
cents was sent from the military hospital at b At
itleboro VT, to their regiments, and among them
might have been seen your humble correspondent.
The boys left the hospital in the best OF spirits, as
they have always had the name of doing when
duty was to be done, for we Vermont soldiers
have made it part of cur creed not to grumble
or whine at inevitable necessity no matter how
dsagreeable it may be. | will not presume to
say, as most newspaper correspondents do, that
the boys were eager to join their regiments or
over anxious to measure swords with the foe in
the field though doubtless most of them would
rejoice to take part in battle that would bring,
foronce, victory glorious and decisive to our
arms. But there was no complaining that injuS-
tice had been done them in sending them so soon
TO duty. Most of the boys that left their regi-
ments lst after that second disgracefu retreat
from Bull Run, retain the spirit of discourage
ment which that event, 10 connection with previ-
Gus disasters, cast over the whole nation. Defeat
ed in every issue, irom causes beyond their con-
troll, they have lost heart, and when they see the

more and more gigantic proportions, and when
after every sacrifice of lite and the utmsst disphv
of valor, they find their efforts frutless as at Fred
erlcksburg, what wonder that the BOYS do not
feel" eager for the fray," and who blames them
that the are tired Of the war. And to add to
hese causes OF Encouragement, their fAvorte
leader, Mcclellan, has been removed, and re.
moved as they think, because like a true-souled
patriot he tried to maintain a consistent policy in
the tace Of disunlon, fanatacsm, and political
trucksters. The proclamation of freedom is rep
resented TO them by the helliAh imps Of the JEFF
D1Fs persuasion, as an instrument to convert the
war from lis aYo"ed purpose of restoring the
Onlon' to one for the freedom Of the blacks. The
anupathy OF The soldiers to the negro race, is well
known, aud whoever panders to tbi. prejudice for
political purposes or for any other purpose, is
guilty OF 0iacker treason than the rebel Who meets
Us openly on the battle field These peaceabe
copperheadS tell US that Mcclellan was removed
because he manfulIy resisted the effort to prosti.
tute the war for abolition purposes They tell Us
the Government is on the verge of bankrup,cy.
and they do not scruple to hunt that it is more
honorable TO desert such service than to be made
tools OF by a0ohtlonlsts of the Greeley school. |
"f'e o"Iy what nave seen aud heard, and can
assure you TINS manner Of spreading dl.aifection
among The troops, Is mors extensively practiced
ana has greater effect than many may have mag
ined. 30 If the army OF the Potomac is democrat
zed' who is to blame ?-certany not the SOL
dlerS, holly Nor is it altogether want of
courage among the troops, that there has been SO
many desertlons of late, from this army. Let the
blame be LAID where it belongs. Those who as
sail the Administration as abolition fanatics, and
seek to disseminate the virulent poison of this
doctrine among tie soldiers. are doing more to
contribute to our defeat and ruin, than if they en-
listed under the banner of treason, and fought us
face to face in the open field. 1t is not the army
that is dsmoraized, it is the citizens at home. If
they will stand by the soldiers, the soldiere will
stand b. the flag ill the last. 1t is shame that
men at home should be discouraged first and is
1t not SO But it was not my intention to write
lecture
AT halfpast three O'Clock on the afternoon oil
