HEADQUARTERS 81 BRIGADE,
fBeitGr I'd Division, lst Army Corps,
April 9, 1853. }
To the Editor of the Press:
am seated at our rude table this lovely af-
ternoon, endeayoring to pen few lines for
your paper, which, while they serve to pass
away the lorg hours, may prove of some in
terest TO your readers. The inonotony of
camp life is fast growing wearsome, especially
after lying inactive three months. When the
day comes for us to resume active operations
we shall hail it with joy; for then we shall
have the satisfaction of knowing that every
day'smarchis Fastening forwardthe time when
this rebellion shall be crushed, and we shall
be permitted to return to our peaceful homes.
| have just returned from the review Of
this corps by the President This forenoon
was occupied in marching the troops TO and
forming on the field. After all was ready, the
men and officers seated themselves on the
green grass and in the shade of the wide
spreading trees that graced the field, to await
the coming of the President. Soon the BOOM
ing Of cannon down on the left announced his
arrival. The President and his family rode to
the field in a covered carriage.
After leaving his carriage he rode a splendid
black charger; Gen. Hooler's was dark
brown. As soon as they had ridden up and
down the lines and taken their position, we
marched by files in review, each regiment
moving off at double quick as soon as il had
passed in review, to make room for another
The President appeared more careworn and
disturbed than at our review year ago.
All of the troops of the army have been mus
tered for the purpose of ascertaining the nu-
merical strength of each regiment, that they
may be filled to the maximum with conscripts.
This, assure you, is received with great re-
jioicing by the men. There is set of aban-
doned reckless politicians at home, whose whole
object and purpose seems TO be to defeat and
cripple every movement the government un-
dertakes; at the same time feigning loyalty
and fidelity to the government. friendship and
love TO us. o men of the North, if one spark
of patriotism remains in your bosoms, if you
would be our friends, we besech you in the
name Of our country TO throw off that malign
influence of party, and give TO her your hearty
and cordial support in this hour of her greatest
peril. Can you be our friends, when you are
aiding our enemy, still keeping us exiles from
our dear homes, our lives exposed to all the
dangers of the battlefield and camp? With
what feelings can we regard you, save those Of
the btterest contempt and hatred. The sum-
mer campaign has opened and ere it ends.
many noble and brave son of New England
will find soldiers grave. Must a cup of gall
and crown of thorns be his last earthly re-
ward? Will it not be enough 10 die for our
country? We are willing to fight through
this campaign, and IL this does not end the re-
bellion, to fight till the last vestige of il is
wiped out, and the glorious old banner REIN
stated throughout the Confederacy. p.

Small Farms most Profitable
A GRATUTrY TO
Wool-Growers and Stock Raisers.


Who should understand at this time the great ad-
vantages to be gratutously enjoyed by them in
Northern Missouri.
Any quantity of superior hay can be cheapiy and
readily obtained without trespassing upon the rights
of any for If the grass is not from the praries
and gathered IL rots is destroyed by fire. But lit
tie hay Is needed, the winters are mild and short
and the "bue grass" of the country furnishes ex.
celleut grazing even in mid winter. How long this
opportunity FOR gratuitous and superior pasturage
and fodder will continue. II is impossible TO tell;
doubtless the rapid march of freedom will cut it
short by inducing an immense emigration but as the
Railroad Company and nonresident SPECTATORS own
all the land. except small proportion occupied by
very sparse population, the strong probability is that
Wool Growers and large Stock Raisers can enjoy
the present facilities long enough with proper enter
prise TO accumulate independent fortunes before the
present vacant lands purchased and settled so as
to circumscribe ample ranges for their stock Thus
poor men can use and virtually own larger and more
productive farms in Missouri than rich men do or
ever can In the Eastern States.
NO BETTER REGION.
Much has been said and written to Wool Growers
and Stock Rasers in behalf OF the claims of Texas,
but aside from greater completely and injury in the
rebellion, its remoteness from all the best markets
its liability to frequent and drouths numerous
sudden and great changes in the temperature Of It's
climate. make IL region far inferior to Northern
Missouri. II should be remembered that Missouri is
within three days cheap frarei from any Atlantic
city, In direct and rapid communication by water
rail and telegraph with all home markets and the
commerce of the world.
