FROM THE 9TH REGIMENT.
Camp Douglas, March 4th 1868,


Mr.. EDITOR an absence of ten
weeks from Camp Douglas, have returned
and find things materially changed. The
loose manner in which things were then
carried on, have been change by Gen.
Ammon, commander of the post, who ap-
pears to be good officer, and very strict
disciplinarian. Under his watchful eye
every thing is conducted in most militia
~ stvle, much to the discomfort of row.
dies rioters and all who delight in DISC
beying orders. The Gen. is "up to tricks"
and ever ready to punish all neglect of
duty, from the highest to the lowest All
feel that now, they must do their duty
and are ever ready to perform it. The
sick list is very large, numbering proba-
bly,, near one half of this regiment. Near
ly all in this company are afflicted with
severe colds. Our guard duty here is
very hard as we have but fifteen privates
for duty, and we are called upon for from
five to eight every day so the poor fellows
have but little time for rest.
The rebel prisoners here are hard
looking set of fellows, no two can scarcely
be found dressed alike. One hundred
and forty-three regiments are represented
and if we can judge any thing how the
regiments lock, from what we see here,
they must be sorry looking army OF
soldiers. They are very peacable general
ly, although they have attempted to run
guard few times. Several have taken
the oath of allegiance and left camp.
Many others probably would do so but
for the SCOTS and ridicule of their compan-
ions have talked with some of them
who seem to be as sanguine of success as
they did when the war broke out; or at
ledst VHey vain So'
What few of my old companions are
left here talk as though they had most Of
their patriotism left, and say they are
ready and anxious to enter the lists and
show their devotion to their country, Ell
ther on the battlefield or any place where
duty leads. Out of nearly one hundred
men who left Lamoille county, nine have
died, twenty-eight have been discharged
and five or six have desertrd, then leaving
but twenty-three sick in hospital, and
seven detailed for hospital purposes, We
have sum total Of twenty-seven noncom
missioned officers, musicians and private'
for duty; but although our numbers arr
small, our hearts are large and our devo
tion TO our cause and all It's defenders il
unlimited. Our regiment is SO small tha
it probably would be better if it could b,
filled to the maximum number before W,
enter the field again. think the patri
otto men Of Lamoille county, who are liza
BILE to be conscripted had better enlist vol
UNFAIRLY in ,this company, for will as
sure them that they will have one gooc
officer left in this company, and as goo'
Colonel as ever entered the field. We
have been unlucky with our Captains

company. The memory Of Capt. slaytol

AN INCIDENT IN THE CARs.--In car on
o rail road which runs into New York,
few mornings ago, scene occurred which
will not soon be forgotten by the witness
ses Of it. A person dressed as gentle
man, speaking to friend across the car,
said "Well, hope the war may last six
months longer. If it does I shall have
made enough to retire from business. In
the last six months I've made hundred
thousand dollars-six months more and /
shall have enough" A lady sat behind
the speaker, and necessarily heard his re-
mark /; but when he was done she tapped
him on the shoulder, and said to him
"Sr, | had two sons-one of them was
killed at the battle of fredericksburg; the
other was killed at the battle Of Murfrees-
boro." She was silent moment, and SO
were all around who heard her, Then,
overcome by her indignation, she suddenly
slapped tho speculator, first on one cheek,
then on the other, and before the fellow
could say word, the passengers sitting
near, who had witnessed the whole affair,
seized him, and pushed him hurriedly out
Of the car, as one not ct to ride with de-
cent people.-Nsa0 York Eusasng Post.

FROM THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
Wolf Run Shoals, March 10.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-Your paper has not ar
rived here in Co. E, for the two last num-
bers are now DUE The boys are almost
lost, for there is only little reading in
the company, and two Of your papers
would give them the news from sweet La
moile, as they borrow them to read of the
owners and get the news from their homes
that they have left to serve their country's
call. When it is not in camp the boys
are wishing that the next mail will bring
it, until the week passes off. The former
Postmaster was young, boyish fellow
and often would not carry the mail out of
camp, or return it in due season. This
would cause many letters and papers not
to 20 to their destination. All of the
commissioned officers went in for his re-
moval, and had man of about 40 years
old of Co. B appointed in his place. He
is very faithful in having the mail in due
time at the Station, and to get all there
is for our regiment. He also gets Dailies
and brings into camp to sell to the boys.
So they keep themselves posted in regard
| to things in Washington and elsewhere.
This month so far has been warm and
very wet. The wild geese have gone
to the North, and the robin has come with
her sweet songs to greet us. The frogs
have come from their winter quarters to
give us their music, and there are many
other things to show that spring is near
i We have been aroused number Of times
and every man that was fit for duty was
ordered to have his gun and straps and
40 rounds of cartridges ready to fall in
at a moments warning We have moi
had to start yet, but how soon we shall

have to give the rebels some pills
Sunday night the 6th, about one O'Clock
in the morning, the rebels came in a
Fairfax Court House in five directions
and surprised and took Gen. Stoughtor
and some of his orderlies and guards t.

, horses, and left before three o'clock

would YOU know the way to be happy,
The way to be happy in life,
The way to be lov'd by your neighbors'
As we'll as your children and wife?
THE way to be puffed in the papers,
And lauded by sinner and saint;
And praised by garrulous spinsters'
Until they are weary and faint
The way to be called good fellow
And get invitations to dine
with those who are bountiful livers'
And ready to pay for the wineY
The way to be ever applauded'.
And called both a sage and wit.
And have all the rabble keep shouting
Until they are ready to split?
The way to be called good christian
And held as a pattern for all
The very best man, and most gifted
Since Adams unfortunate fall?
Would you have your opinions respected
Be worshipped and fiattered and pulled!
Just wear a good coat and dickey'
And keep your pocket-book stuffed
No matter how mean, or how little.
How wicked, or worthless, or stale;
If you've plenty of Tin" in your pocket

Destruction of Pensacola.

New York, April "a New Orleans
letter says the St Mary's Hall, a fine
hotel, and all the dwellings in Pensacola
except Mailorys and Maj. Chase's were
burned, The soldiers seemed to think
the entire evacuation of the place to the
enemy was intended, and many swore
they would burn the place.
On Thursday noon fires made their APP
pearance, and for three days and nights
the place was filled with smoke and
flame
The officers tried to STOP the work of
destruction but seemed to have no infu-
ence over the men Even the men
placed to guard property set it on fire,
Colonel Dyer, commander of the Post,
was almost distracted and gave orders to
shoot persons caught setting the fires,
but no one executed them, finally the
long roll was beaten and the men got
into the Navy Yard and were confined.
