For weather. We still have strange miY.
ture of rain and snow, sunshine and cloud.
warm and cold. The weather upon the whole
grows more mild and pleasant, and We iudos
the most unpleasant weather Of the season b..
gone by. The mud is less troublesome aboD,
our encampment. and the rays of the sun are
seeming Spring Like, and the prospect is, that
the pleasant portion of the season for this lat.
itude, will soon greet US with its balmy breath,
and sunny smiles.
The men who are now in the field, need the
hearty support and cooperation Of those tbev
have left at home The want Of this, is much
more disheartening than the power and Iau.
ence Of our armed and avoWed foes. TberA
is a great difference in the letters, that come
to camp. Some inspire courage, and hope,
and nerve the Soldier for the trials and pels
that surround him, while some br.a an air
of dependency and complaint which is cacu
lated to weaken and dlshearten those who are
fighting for the honor, and perpetuity of our
Government.
A correspondent writing from the army has
appropriately said;
" think that it is hard to estimate the good
or the harm that may be produced by letters
from home They shorld always be cheerful
in tone. A cheerful letter will Tighten many
a weary mile or lonely watch.
An immense amount OF harm is done by the
croakings of our Northern papers. We feel
equal to our adversaries, aud would like moth.
ing better than to meet them in fair fight.
Many Of us purpose, ii we survive our nine
months term, to re.enlist but it discourages
many to know that those who permitted us 10
leave them behind in ease and safety (shie We
are doing all in our power to save our country
from ruin, )are not ony ind forent 10 ou- sue
cess, but even attempting to purchase by
shameful concessions an uncertain peace with
hose who have rebeled against the best and
freest Government that God has ever given to
man. | believe that the army is brave aud
loyal, and that il they are commanded by men
who are willing to sink all personal feeling
for the sake Of their country, that this terri
bic war will soon be brought to successful
close
The Sanitary condition of our Regiment
has not been more favorable since We came into
Virginia, than at the present time. These
who are sick are evidently convaIesceut, and
the number in hospital has greatly diminished.
