DEAR Sin: / have no news to commu-
nicate, except par aelOs, and thstis no leio
netcs! The newspapers generally, are
filled with flying reports and exaggera-
ted 'rumOrs of war" and would not
wish to enumerate the "Unioa" among
the itinerant throng. Suffice it to say,
that the Grand Army of the Cumberland
is stata quo, or nearly So anxiously
awaiting something to "lurn up"
The condition of this grand d'armse is
excellent! The sanitary condition of
this Brigade is good, as is also that Of
this Regiment, (ihcluded,) the energies
of Drs. baltimore and Collins being un-
remitting in this department. The gen.
eral condition of this Brigade is good, so
Lieut.. Inspector W. N. Williams pro-
nounces it, and he kuows! All matters
connected with this Brigade are working
like clock work, and the Col. Commando
ing, j. P. Baldwin, (of the 9th Ind) is
every day gaining golden opinions from
the officers of the different Regiments
nnder his respective command.
The weather is becoming dissgreeably
warm, but we have to grin and bar IT,"

lieved by an occasional so'lrLi-gig OF

whirl-i-gigs. The wind comes creeping
along the ground until it gets to point
where the dust is qttantuns sg6icit, when it
commences TO whirld around and around,
then ascends to the supper deep" carry
ing hats, tents, ETC.. in its airy ascent. l
have heard that mules, commisssry
stores, etc, are minus, or "come up miss
ing" at times, and some persons are
credulous enough to assert that they
have went Off in this wayl One fellow
insists that he saw siege guns go upY in
this way, "diyers times!' but / cannot
swallow Gat--the story, / mean The
The Commissary stores Of his Regiment
are all right. 81. ..I a.alg sa
went TO see the Ele--, no, the
minstrel Troupe" the other night, and
was delighted The courtesy extended
to us is duly appreciated. The "boys"
are getting along finely in their various
parts and pcrsOn,fcations. As some Of
the members of the Troupe belong to
this Regiment, cannot well persoaste,
for fear of being charge d with Partially.
The whole Company have our best wish
es for their success. Their entertain
ments are nightly crowded by both Of
ficers and men from different Divisions.
Why are the members of the Minstrel
Troupe" like the Flag of our UhiOn?
