Letter from the vt. Cavalry.
CAMP NEAR FAIRFAX, VA, D
April 90, 1868. {


April 90, 1868. :
Mr.. EARLE Though | am no
in very good health, / take the liber
ty of scribbling few lines for YOU
paper in my own way. Having now
spent six months in camp life, anc
formed some considerable acquain
lance with the regiment, and in par
ticular with Co. |, | feel constrained
to give my views in praise of the
company which was commanded by
the brave Capt. Flint. The captain
labored hard to uphold temperance
and good morals in his company, and
as a result of his labors, / have the
pleasure to say, that in morals they
are surpassed by none in the regi-
ment.
We, as soldiers, | regret to say,
have little encouragement given us to
pay strict attention to morality but
| am glad that can speak in praise
of some Of the members of Orleans
County as forming what | call a de-
cidedly happy family here in camp.
Though our families are composed
entirely of males, yet we enjoy that
friendship which conduces so much
to human happiness. Among these
permit me to mention the names of
Corporal Cook, l.. B. Pearsons, of
Coventry, W. w. Foster, of Iras-
burgh, and w. Allen of Craftsbury.
We can listen to the union of their
voices every night, not in profanity,
but in singing and in friendly con-
versation.
To-day we moved about one mile,
and pitched our tents anew in a.
very pleasant place, being an oak
grove. We had the inconvenience,
however, of a wet day in which to
move, yet we are quite comfortably
situated tonight. | rejoice to say
the health of the regiment is gener-
ally good. There are but IL in the
camp hospital at present. You may
think me a little partial to company
|, but of any other in the regiment,
| am best acquainted with the men,
bers Of this company; consequently
| feel more attached to it-though
we have good society in all the COM
panies.
The loss of Capt. Flint is serious
ly felt throughout the regiment, but
more especially in his own company. |
Those wounded in that unfortunate |
engagement, | learn, are doing well. |
They are comfortably cared for, and
have the best medical and surgical
1t is said the members
of that company want Grout for
captain if he does not serve a day. |
To those subject to military duty
who yet remain at home | would !
say, think not that your services in
the field will not be needed, for |
assure you they will be required ere
long to put down this rebellion
We who have families and are now
out in Virginia facing the storm, are
,onsoled by the reflection that our,
children and families will not be ne
elected or forgotten by kind friends
md neighbors.
In conclusion | would say that
'ur rebel opponents are brave and t
vily men, but do not possess a very
,reat share of humanity. In my !
'pinion, before we can gain final ;
ictory, we must adopt their policy, !.
ring out our entire force, and by :
powerful and united action make Z
hem lay down their arms and again t
ubmit to the government.
Receive this from an honest heart
d soldier, and friend to all Union t
wing and honest-hearted men. b

METAL-TIPPED SHoEs.-Shoes are
an important item in the expense Of
clothing children. as every parent will
understand. They invariably wear out
their shoes at the toe first, and not I'M
frequently before the other parts are
quarter worn. Children's shoes with
Metal tips never wear out at the toe, and
it is safe to say that on an average one
pair with them will more than out-wear
three pairs without them. We believe
all the shoe dealers keep them.

g. The Union Leagues throughout

G. A refugee from Arkansas says
that the rebels have planted an immense
wheat crop in that state, and recommends
that national troops be sent in to destroy
the grain before the rebels gather it.

House ON THE PooR FARM BURNT.
We regret 20 learn that the house on
the Poor Farm, in this town, was entire
ly consumed by fire on the night of last
Tuesday. How the fire originated we
have not yet been informed. 1t appears
nothing of its contents was saved except
one bed.

CAhP OF THE SIXTH VT. VOLS,
April 18th, 1868.
FRIEND EARLE: When / wrote YOU
last night, everything look ed like moving
to-day-all was quiet and every neces.
sary preparation made-but to-day we
find the programme very materially
changed. Instead of the warm and
pleasant weather of yesterday, we are
having one of the coolest rain storms
that can be imagined. All day long the
rain has come down without any cessa-
tion-but there is always a calm after
storm-and two or three days sunshine
will dry up the large stock of mud we
now have on hand and then, no doubt.
the General in command will be ready
to commence operations again.
No more tonight.
Thursday morn, 10th.
All night the rain came down, but tbs
morning it has ceased to fall and the
clouds begin to pass away, and there is
every sign of its clearing off. We shall
not be very apt to move to day, but how
soon we may is yet to be seen. You
will remember, when you refer to your
dates, that one year ago to-day was the
great charge of the Vermouters at Lees
Mills near Yorktown. Since that day
we have had some times that tried
mems souls But we are not at all dis
couraged, and / trust we are Just the
boys that will stand by the old Flag. 1 |
will close. All quiet along the lines of
the Rappahannock. With compliments
to all protectors of the Union and STAN
dard, remain yours truly.

in the affair may have an opportunity of doing
30. This is matter which must be left in the
hands OF tie Mayor and Common Council, and
we have every confidence that in this affair they
Will do credit to the city Besides the banquet
there should be grand ball given at the
Academy of Music, 80 that the ladies may have
their opportunity OF smiling a welcome upon
our guests. This must be left to the manage
meDt Of some Of our spirited fellow citizens, and
We may, with all confidence, leave the matter
in their hands.
Whether this unusual rendezvous OF Russian
war vessels in our waters has or has not poll
tical Significance is question which it is unne
cessary to discuss here. Even though it may
not have been 40 intended it will probably
have political effect. The two nations have
many points Of similarity, and have each
great role to perform in history. Russia has
been, in our present troubles, our steadfast
friend, and the only recognition of that friend
ship which we, az citizens, can give is b! ex-
tending the warmest hospitality to her naval
representatives here Let us, by all means.
have grand banquet and ball. and let Ssw
