We are encamped 'in very nice
place, about three-quarters of mile
north of Gallatin. This was q splen.

lion broke out, but it is ruined now
do not think it will recover from the
effects in fifty years. Fine mansions
have been burnt and fences destroyed,
and the fine plantations of the lordly,
aristocratic rebels laid waste. General
ly they are in the Secesh army, or have
been transferred beyond our lines,
where they can talk Secesh to their
hearts content. The days for guard
ing Secesh property arc now over, or
what is better, were never commenced
by the boys Of the 10Th. We came
out to help crush this rebellion, aud we
intend to.devote our energies to that
purpose, instead of aiding it, and / be-
lieve this rebellion. would have been
crushed out by this time if the people
of the North had been as true and loyal
to the Administration as they are now.
Last fall certain party styling them
selves Democrats, carried the Northern
States at the election. They were go.
ing then to have peace right off, by
proposing terms of adjustment to jeff
Davis, and overthrowing the Govern
ment. | do not say that all that voted
that ticket were in for that, but | do
say that that was what the leaders of
the party wanted to do and tried to do.
They circulated all manner of lies
through the army, telling the soldiers
we were fighting to free the negroes, and
tried 10 raise a mutiny in the army by
telling us there was going to be an out
break in the army. This was the time
that tried our souls. To think of the
long and weary marches we had taken
through mud and rain, and of the
nights we have had to sleep in the
open air, on the wet and muddy ground,
and exposed to sickness and death, away
from home and friends and our COM
rades dying around US from exposure
and after we have made all this sacri-
fee, to think that men, merely for a
dish of political pottage, will do all they
can against US, by trying to prolong
the war and keep US out still longer
Language fails to describe our con-
tempt for them. But, thank Godl theta
base plan for the overthrow of the
best Government that ever existed, has
failed in part. When they msekly pro-
posed their terms to their royal master,
JEFF. Davis, he scorned them, and told
them that nothing but the aeknowledy-
ment of the Southern Confederacy, and
the North paying the expenses of the
war, would do him. Well, the poor
souls had to return, crest.fallen, for
that was more than they could hope
their party would agree to. John Van
Buren saw it was time to arise and
shake the dust of modern Democracy
from his feet, and place himself on
praying ground and pleading terms
with the Government the y had foully
wrOpged. When tho best part of the
Democratic party followed him, the
rest arranged themselves side by side
with Vallandigham, Bright and the
Cincinnati Enquirer, which now con-

Marrow Escape from being Buried
Alive,

The following statement is made Of
the narrow escape of a wounded soldier
from being buried alive:
After the battle of Newbern, North
Carolina, George W. Greer, = volunteer
from Cooperstown, Otisago county, N. Y.
was sent out with others to bury the dead.
Among the bodies picked up by Green
and his helpers was that of one Rufus
Petty, from the same county. The
body was placed on the stretcher and
carried to the grave, and just as it was
being lowered into the grave, Green
who had been familiar with Petty, thought
he would search his pockets to see
whether THERE was any thing there
that might be sent homo to his friends.
in so doing he ran his hand up under his
vest, and discovered that his heart was
family beating.
He announced the fact to his eomrade,
who said it couldn't possibely be, as the

Exports and Imports.


1t is one of the anomalies of our con-
dition Of civil war that our foreign com
merce is unusually prosperous, even
with the drawback of the depredatiOns
OF the rebel steamers.
The exports from New York to for
eign ports, during ten months of the
current year, amounted in value to
S206,3l7 200, against about s126, ,00O,-
OOOin the corresponding period of the
two previous years. The imports thus
far, this year, amount to S155,613,100
against s117,385, 400 in 1852, and
s196, ,795, 200 in 1861.
So we have exported at New York
about fifty millions more than wo have
imported. The revenue from customs
at New York has been S43, ,421 ,0Oa
against s26, ,S14, ,1S2iu '62, and s26, ,358,.
741 in '61. In Philadelphia, Boston,
and other ports, a corresponding i'm.
proyement is neticed, aud by the 1st oi

Europe and this country will be found
very largely iu our favor. ....
