August LIST, 1868.
DEAR JouRNAL:-It is said that variety is
the spice of life. If so, the soldier has his
rations. 1t is true that in permanent camp
the same routine of duties is gone through
with each successive day, and after while
matters grow somewhat monotonous. The
mind becomes restless and longs for some.
thing new. In vain do we gather content.
ment by settling down to await the issue Of
coming events. Imagination may picture Ia
us glorious future-fitting Fancy may cen.
struct her numerous air-castles, but these are
transient as the morning due and soon pass
away vacuum remains and the mind still
wanders.
But soon, and very often Unexpectedly, the
mail boy makes his appearance in camp, and
we are put in possession Of the Weekly, Tri.
Weekly and Daily JOURNAL. Then, all of a
sudden, the mind eases to roam-the vacan.
cy is filled-and we have something new.
Now we like the JOURNAL for several rea.
sons. In the first place it is good, staunch,
sound, loyal sheet-ever breathing forth the
pure sentiments of its devoted readers, and,
unlike its neighbor (the Courier,) it always
has word Of encouragement for those who
are in the field fighting to maintain the prin-
ciples it so ably advocates. In the next
place it is home paper, and keeps us posted
in home matters. And last, but not least, it
is sent to US by the patriotic, generous heart
ed young ladies' of the Muscatine Loyal
League. Let me say to the ladies comprising
this League-your untiring devotion and
well-tmed efforts to make the soldiers in the
field comfortable and contented, are greatfully
remembered. Time itself Is inadequate to
reveal the amount of good you have already
accomplished But while your efforts are be-
ing put forth for the good of those who sur.
vive, we ask you with US to cherish sacred
reverence for the noble fallen. Many who
left their homes and loved ones, with as fair
prospects Of long life as we, are now sleeping
in the sunny south, beneath q southern blood
stained soil. o, how lonely, deserted and
dreary the spot where now they sleepl No
wife, mother, sister or loved one, to drop for
them a single tear, or plant or nourish q
flower to shed its fragrance o'cr their sacred
graves. Envy him Dot his rest. Well does
he deserve all his glory, for over his grave,
high streaming in the breeze and stirred by
every gentle zephyr, is the American flag,
plainly telling us that the cause for which he
gave his life was not only sacred, just and
holy, but was triumphant.
Continue to give us your aid and doubt
less soon we shall realize the end for which
we labor-the triumph of the principles OF
Liberty, justice and humanity over those Of
oppression and injustice and humanity: Ac:
Gept the heartfelt thanks of company A, and
rest assured we will ever be found at our
post. contending for the right until it triumphs,
as triumph it surely will.

No Enemy at Fredericksburp.

PHILADELrHIA, Feb. 8.-The Sunday
Transcript has a despatch from Washington
which says that there is no enemy in force
at fredericksburg. Most of thcm have been
sent to the BlackWater or to Vicksburg.-
The only force left behigd being about
$4,000. an amptc number to prevent the
passage OF the RappahaDn0ck at tho pres
ent season.
From descrters and otaer sources it has
beer asceT'aiued the rebel railroad com
manications are perfect. In seveuty-two
hours the entire army of the enemy can he
supported from any POiat in the South to
Fredericksburg, SO they can we'll afford to
spare the great body of their army from our
front.
During the past week the President has
determined upon calling Gen. Mcclellan to
the command of the army again. Upon the
announcement being made in a cabiuet
council there was great furry. Secretary
Chase at once threatened to resign as did
also the rest of the radical. members-For
this and other reasons the President deter
mined to make no change for the present
| within two weeks, however, there is scarce
~ doubt that the command OF the army
will be rendered to Gen. Mcclellan. The
appointment of Gen. Hooker to the com
mand is merely temporary, 1t was made
against the judgment of the President, and
even the Secretary of War. His soldierly
qualities are not doubted, but his ability to
handle such an immense body is seriously
questioned by his friends.
Nothing of importance is expected from
Vicksburg for at least thirty days. 1t will
take that time to complete the canal and
to bring our forces efectually to bear
against the rebel stronghold.
1t may be circumstances may precipitate
q battle, but the general impression is that
It will require month at least to capture
the place.
