FROM THE TwEN1y-FOvRTH REGIMENT.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Onc would naturally
enough suppose that a correspondent of
news paper writing from a camp of
forty thousaad men ought to be able to
give some item Of interest-pen some,
thing that the ans iOus reader would call
information. But fTom such a camp as
ours about all that can he said is that we
olive and have being" aad that there
is talk of "move' Evesy da, this
week rumor has had all the troops here,
but five thousand, on the march fox some
point on the river south of this None
have gone yet, but the movement begins
to-day. This have from "authority."
1t means nothing, however, but change
of location. There will be a fight some
day at Vicksburgh providing the rebels
persist in staying there until our generals
choose to attack the place, and slowly the
army is moving in that direction. A
force of several thousand troops will be
left here to garrison the place which is
to be used as post for supplies for the
j army operating below. Nothing trans
pircs here to occasion alarm, and this
State, once infested by rebel hordes, is
comparatively quiet.
The people generally claim to be Sc.
cesslonlsts, and swear that they never
will submit to reunion with the north,
yet after all their declarations everything
bears evidence of conquered country
a subdued people, and If the rebel army
was dlsbanded but little would be said
ftsdarai:yy4 As III majority : Of the south
ern States SO it is in Arkansas, the
greater number of the male inhabitants
are in the rebel ranks And those who
remain seem 20 think it would b. dis
honorable for them as southerncrs not to
sustain csus, for which their friends
are fighting. But after all it is evident
that there exists secret desire for peace
Everywhere here the desoating effects of
the war are plainly to be seen. The
torch has surely done its work in this
State wherever our armies have been,
aud IN other parts cf the State, the rebel
desperadoes have employed the same
means IN the destruction Of property iu
