Mr.. EpIToR.-OW mailing facilities

most impossible for US to write to you
regular. We trust, now that our army
has railroad communication that our let
tiers may pass undis,urbed and with dis.
patch. To day there is no excitement in
camp, everything has assumed dull qui.
etude. 1t is a strange fact that We have
become so accustomed to every and any.
Thing, that We may be in battle one day,
and the next there is no appearance Of
excitement
The casualties in our Regiment, the
10Th, ia Saturday, engagement, was not
very great. The "Hornets," under the
cemu and Of Lieut.. Williamson, acquitted
themselves with credit, both in holding
the position assigned them and in the
heat Of battle. There was but one slight.
,ly wounded in the .Hornets."
The "Blair Guards" Capt. Clyburn, al.
so held their position with .unflinchiug
bravery. The loss in this company was
one slightly wounded. The attack was
made by the Federal General Reynolds
Division about 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, the 18th. and continued throughout
the entire day with short intervals. There
was q simultaneous attack on both wings
of ouf army, Gen. Lopgstreet eomman.

,Ispulsed the enemy with great slaughter
at each onsst. We are much panied a,
the death Of Gen. Gregg. He fell in from,
,ofhis Brigade encouraging bis men, dis
playing such bravery as is not generally
exhibited by our commanding Generals.
The country, in bis death, has lost one Of
its best Generals. He had won the con
fdsncs and respect Of his men. Although
2 .strict discipInarion, his word being lao,
he was liked by his command, and none
never plead for redress but what they re
.csived justice at his hands.
Since Saturdays fighting, nothing Of
importance has transpired worthy Of note
except the falling back Of the Yankees
across the River. A truce, for one hour,
was granted on Monday evening, for the
enemy to bury their dead. We enjoyed
the sight With pleasure. During ias time
limited, the Yankees seemed very solici

with a British plenipotentiary, while
the Southern slaveholding cut throats,
with daggers drawn, were assailing the
very life Of the Republic, and imploring
that naughty nobleman to induce his
monarch to send troops to aid these
cut throats, and to overpower their own
neighbors and friends, 6gh,ine for the
flag Of their country! The whole theory
Of Democracy, in their day, was that
the strongest measures should he used
to save the Union. Il would be mon
s,rous if thu overwhelming logic con
tanned in these plain facts did not dis-
p.l the pr.jndices even Of the most ob
durate partisan; and il is extraordinary
that they have not produced a more
general conversion Of patriotic men.
Yet let us be satisfied. Truth operates
sometimes slowly, but always surely and
permanently. It cures, when it does
cure, forever. Let ns congratulate our
selves that we hear OF no Republicans
joining the present Democratic party.
