Dear SiSter,-I will improve a few
moments in writing you; am well as
usual. We are stationed here at Gull
pepper, in a cornfeld, surrounded by
woods. How long we shall stay here ]
do not know, but probably not long
where we shall 90 | do hot know; we
have got eight days rations put up and
forty rounds of cartridges, and that means
something. We have to drill four hours
a day, two in the forenoon and two in the
afternoon l like it well so far; we have
enough to cat and it is very good; we
have hard tack and pork, and we have
had fresh beef twice have plenty OF
coffee and sugar but no milk we do our
own cooking. | saw James Abbott the
other day he was well and glad to see
me have seen Curtis Bean and Ed.
W. SANITY; ihey are both well; they
send out pickets from this brigade every
three days, but we conscripts shall not
have to 90 for some time yet; they wish
to get US well drilled first. We had an
inspection of everything we have got yes
terday forenoon and then in the afternoon
we had meeting, and at five o'clock we
had dress parade ; that is all we have
to do on Sundays when we are in camp.
We got our guns at Alexandria; guess
they are very good ones. l
want you TO write to me often and direct
your letters to Co. A, 4th Regiment VI.
Volunteers, Washington, d. c., and then
] shall get them some time. We do not
get our letters very regular when we are
on the march. | have seen the ShonyoI
boys; they are well, and in the artillery,
camped near here. As it is almost time
to drill and | cannot think of any more
news to write, close by saying that |
hope these lines will find you the same
as they leave me-in good health and in
prosperity, l remain as ever,
Your affectionate brother,

HoPs.-Mr. E. b. True of Coventry
has raised this season, $40 ponn2s oil
hops from an acre of ground. Should
these hops be of good quality, and clean.
Iy picked, they will command 20 cents
per pound, or $748 for the ground. To
cultivate this hop yard it requires no
more labor than is required to till an
acre of corn. Deduct the amount paid
to girls for picking, $50, and he has left
for his one acre of hops $698.-News.

A Correction.

Friend Earle,-Iu the Cypress Of
Sept. Sd is a piece the title of which is
MAN Lost" which l wish to correct
through your paper. The piece states
that Parker Morgan of our town went to
Richford to visit some friends; on his
way back got lost, French girl showed
him the mountain path, since which no.
thing has been seen or heard of him. 1t
further states that the people of Jay have
made no search that people passing
over the mountain have observed very
offensive smell, which was supposed to
be the unbured remains of the lost man.
Now this is all false, except that the girl
showed him the path. He left his place
where the town hired him kept and went
away, as he had often done before, and
as soon as it became known that he had
been shown into the woods and had not
been heard from since, the overseer OF
the poor and select men Immediately no.
tilted the people of the town, and a large
number turned out and made search for
the body of the lost man, but nothing was
to be found all search was vain. We
supposed we had done our duty in rela-
ton to the case. l do not suppose the
Express is at all too blame about the
matter, but their informant must have
been sadly mistaken.
Respectfully yours,

rebels in a fag superior force than what

worth publishing you are at liberty to do

not very well, but soldier can live Oh

LAKE BRDGE.-We took pedes-
trian excursion the other day to this place,
and as is always the case when we visit
it, were surprised at the improvements
going on. New buildings are going up
everywhere-stores and dwelling houses.
Among them is new store being erect
ed by Mr.. Orson McClary of Albany,
who is soon going into trade in that place.
DR.. T.. Palmer the renowned dentist is
putting up first rate dwelling house and
office attached, with neat rooms for his
customers. The place had grown so fast
since our last visit in July, that while
wandering about We got LOST, and should
not have found our way again had not a
life long resident of the city directed US
to 60 to Black S store without delay and
then we should be all right. We did so.
But we were not much better off, for we
were SO surrounded by great piles of nice
goods and a swarm of female women for
clerks that we were bewildered. Such
clerks are pretty institution.
j. Y. Green, formerly OF St. Johnsbury,
has also an excellent stablishment-hav-
ing purchased the drugs and medicines,
and other stock in trade of G. w. Bald
win. He claims to know how a drug
store should be kept, as he has been in
the business a long term of years. We
think he is right about it, and that he is
not SO Green as bis name would seem TO
indicate.

A BOLD TuEFT.-The thieves in this
part of the country are emulating their
brethren Of wider fame in the boldness Of
their performances. Mr.. Levi Allen Of
Coventry, few days agro drove up tc
the store Of G. II. WaIworth g. Co.
hilched bis horse and went in to buy some
articles, and was gone but few minutes
but when he returned he found that his
team had disappeared in a mysterious
manner, and although it has been two
weeks since it departed, be has not YET
succeeded in finding any clue to it. We
should call this bold pu5h-one worthy
of Dick Turpin. Would ii not be the
part Of wisdom in owners of teams here
after to take them into the stores when
they wish to make purchases, and not
leave them 'out in the cold" to be "gob-
bled up" by any wandering higbwayman ?
Owners of property that is left laying
around loose, such as horses, clothes on
the line, axes, &c, cannot be too careful
how they leave their property. The coun-
try is full Of thieves.

HOME FROM DIxIE.-We had the
pleasure a few days ago of receiving q
visit from DR.. f. c. Bill formerly of AL
bany, but now head surgeon of the gen
eral hospital at at Nashville, Tennessee.
He has been at home on furlough; he
reports the southern people to be in a
state OF the most abject want-poor to
the last degree of poverty, and that men
who were at the beginning of the wal
worth their hundreds of thousands are
now forced to beg their daily bread Of the
federal authorities. He says we can form
no idea Of the destitution Of the people
or Of the devastation to property in the
state Of Tennessee. There is not rail
in the whole state, all having been burn
ed by the various armies that have from
time to time swept over it, and every
thing is trod down, leaving the country
in tie condition of a race course, and that
both Union men and rebels are terribly
tired of the war aud are anxious to have
Ii brought to close, so that they can re-
turn to their homes again, which many
have not seen since the war begun. DR.
Bill was at the time our troubles began
practicing in GAINESVILLE, Tenn, but the
rebels gave him his choice either to enlist
into the rebel army, be hung, or leave the
country in six hours, and as he had nc
idea of doing the first, and having a de.
cided aversion to tight rope performan>
.ces" Of this nature, he concluded to &C
cept the latter proposition and leave,
which he did, leaving large amount Of
debts due him behind. He entered the
federal army as an assistant surgeon, was
in the battle of Shiloh, and in all the
battles intervening between it and that OF
Murfreesboro which he was in also. He
has been raised from one step to another
till he is now head surgeon with good pay
and light duties.
