From the Christian Messenger.
From the l6th Vermont Regiment.
IN CAMP NEAR FAIRFAX STATION, Va, }
February, 26lh, 1868. {

DEAR MESSENGER LAS Regiment, We
are still obeying orders, and trying to do cur
duty. If We are not upon the front, and at
this hour, charging upon the entertainments
of the foe, amid perils and death, it is simply
because We have not ye5 been called, by the
Government we gladly serve, 10 occupy that
position. We cannot tell what would be the
conduct Of our men in the most trying hour
OF battle, but they have never expressed any
)unWillingness, to do their duty, at any sacri-
flee, that may DO required. 1t is well known
that the great majority Of troops, at least,
from Vermont, are men Of intelligence, as
we'll as patriotism, and they have not entered
the service, as the unthinking horse rushes TO
the battle, but they have deliberately coun-
ted the COST and have left their homes, and
entered the ranks as soldiers: while hoping
for the BEST prepared for toe worss. They
have taken their lives in their hands, and will
not refuse to lay them upon the altar of their
country, if the stern realities Of war demand
the sacrifice. 1t has been understood, that
the diseases that invade our camps, 10 defiance
of medical skill and care, ELL more graves
than the shots Of the armed foe. It is more
painful for our men to waste from disease, in
cur hospitals, than 10 be wounded upon the
field Of battle. The scars and bruises brouoht
from the field Of conflict, bring with them
testimony, and gather honor and sympathy
around the sufferer, which those DO not antici.

VERY IMpRoBABLE.--The following is part
of q dispatch from Cincinnati to the Chicago
Times, of the 9Th inst. We suppose it is quite
likely that there are some traitors in Kentucky
who would engage in any such project as the
dispatch suggests. But the number of such
foolhardy persons is not large, and if they
undertake to put the scheme into effect, it will
speedily be less. Neither do we doubt that
the Times and its correspondents are fully
posted in the devices and intentions of these
kentucky rebels. But if they are anxious to
try that game, We haven't the slightest objec.
ton. 1t is always safest to know where and
who the public enemies are. If there are
enough in Kentucky to make ga rise, y the
sooner they try it the better for the country.
At military headquarters it is known that q
general uprising of secessionists in Kentucky is
now taking place. The plan is that squads and
companies meet at designated points in their
respective counties. and from there move to .
general rendezvous in Pendleton county, and
near Mt, Sterling At the latter place there
are now 300 concentrated from Tennessee,
awaiting reinforcements now reported en- route
for Kentucky. 1t is alleged that these compa-
MES are fully equipped and armed by purchas
es made in Cincinnati and elsewhere, and that
cooked rations for two weeks have already
been provided. A general movement through
out the State, it is predicted win take place in
about three weeks. Gen Wright, who is al
ways prompt and efficient, will be in complete
readiness to check their operations. Reinforce.
ments, it is said, are moving from East Ten.
