From the Thirteenth Vt. Regiment.
CAMP CARUsIE, Va, June 2, 1856;

CAMP CARUsIE, Va, June 2, 1868.
The 18th regiment has been encamped at this
place Two months to-day,-two months of quiet,
monotonous camp life. When we first came here
the picket duty was quite light, but the detail for
picket has been growing larger and larger, as the
stream has been getting lower, until now it tax es
nearly one-thrd of the working strength OF the
regiment for picket and guard duty. A pri-
Yates turn for picket or guard duty comes once
in three days; non-commissoned officers once
in five or six days; while the commissioned eff
GERS, Captains excepted, who come on duty pretty
often, come on for this duty once in seven or eight
days. Drilling of late, during the hot, dry wealth
er, is nearly played out. A short battalion
drill is the most that has been attempted for some
time, and this not every day. Dress parade and
guard mounting however, have been vigorously
kept up. There has been no end to reviews at
this camp. We were reviewed once by General
Stannard, once by our late Lieut.. Colonel Brown,
and more recently we have had an inspection and
review by Capt Hill, A. A. G. on Gen. Stan
nard's staff Gen. Stannard expressed himself
pleased with the appearance of the regiment I'm
der arms and Capt. IL also gave us a compliment
upon the good order in which we kept our arms
and equipments. A brigade review is in contem-
plation, hear, by Gen. Abefcrombie, at point
near Fairfax Starion. 1t would be good thing,
no doubt, but as the brigade is now strung. out
on long picket line, it would be rather "far
fetched" to say the least besides giving the guer-
rillas chance to do mischief in our absence.
Among other thirgs have to chronicle the cap.
lure OF three Of our teams and teamsters, and
Sergeants Slsby and Boyce OF Co. B. The teams
were taken on the road to the Station, by sm all
squad of the 4th Virginia cavalry. Prompt meas
l'ures were taken by Lieut.. Col. Munson, who was
in command that day, to catch them, but without
success. The men were paroled, for which,
learn, they are to be court-m artiaed, the order,
of the War Department not allowing a non-com
missloned officer or private to accept parole.

hope their punishment will be light. The health
OF our regiment is now toerably good, but some
four or five weeks ago, all at once, for SOM
cause as yet unexplained, some fifty were takel
down with the fever. OF these twelve have died

Some months ago there lived in the townOf

Laura W. Their parents living near each
other, Hattie and Laura were play mates,
amusing themselves for many hours in their
play. Hattie retired to rest one night in Wig

She was taken suddenly ill during the night
the next morning, death did its work, and Hat
tie like an early flower, withered and died.
Little Laura saw her as she lay in the embrace
of death. Kissing the cold remains, she wept
bitterly, and asked " What shall [ do now ?"
" [ shall have no one to play with me-" At
her request her Mother gathered flowers, and
formed boquet which Laura placed upon the
grave Of her departed playmate.
A few days passed and Laura became pros

kind care, and affection could do, was unavall'

were scarcely withered that her loving hands
had placed on Hatties grave, we followed her

BE HAPPY.

Our Creator has enjoined upon US
in terms of the greatest clearness
the duty of being happy. The pow
ers with which he has endowed US,
the circumstances in which our lot
is cast, with all the blessing Of his
benifcence shows Enthusiastically his
mind and will, that we should be
happy. Many do not consider this,
and in their selfshness and igno-
rance labor most earnestly to thwart
his design. Some seem to think
that happiness is the very last thing
to be thought of, if not to be abso-
lutely Stunned, as though their mer-
it lay in depriving ourselves of it.
What is decisive on this point is
the fact that whatever conduces to
our highest good is most cOnsonant
with true enjoyment; while a viola
ton of sight always involves pain.
Not that our sole aim is to be hap
py; but we may be assured that no
demand of truth, right or duty will
ever require a sacrifice of happiness
on the whole, and that it is both ou1
privilege and duty to be happy as
possible.
How are we to seek happiness!
We answer: By benevolence. By
Strive to promote that happiness OF
others in the highest degree. This
will administer directly to your
pleasure, and cultivate in you facul
ties most conclusive to the same
end. The one whose heart glows
with love, whose hand is active in
ministering to the good of his fel
lows, cannot be Notwithstanding
Star.
