rorrespondence OF The Alicghanian
There IS little OF special Importance to
communicate at this writing. The spring
season is rapidly advancing upon us, and
until lately the roads had dried up to such
m extrut, under the influence of the
clustering March winds, that we began to
confidently anticipate active operations
But "man proposes and God eisposes,"
and for nearly week we have had de-
lishtful succession Of rainy and snowy
weather, mostly at night, completely spoil
ing our calculations as to forward move.
The climate here is so fckle that it can
no. be depended upon for twenty -four
hour at a.time. Last year the most severe
snow-storm of the winter occurred III
March. after the advance had been made
npen Manassas. To day may be clear and
pleasant at night q storm may gather
and burst upon us, an9 tomorrow we are
envel0ped In mud. Such is life on the
.sscred soil ~ Under the circumstances,
military movements are in a beautiful
state of uncertainty just now From GER
tain indications which are being developed
around us, however, you need not be sur
prised to hear OF stirring events at an
early hour.
Ia pursuance Of call made by several
privstes of this res iment, large and en-
thusiastic meeting was held on Wedres-
lsy evening, 10Th ult., to give expression
TO the soldiers unqualified disapprobatien
cf the course of those at home vino are
Withholding their support from or are
opposing the Administration, as also to
pass resolutions approving the formation
Of Union Leagues. The meeting was
called exclusively for the privates and
Ron commissioned officers, in order to give
reiutation to the oft-repeated assertion
Tint the sentiment ef regimental war
meetings is always moulded to suit the
peculiar views of the staff and lire officers.
3y the private soldiers was it called, and
81 them and them alone engineered to
successful termination. Several eloquent
speeches were delivered by gentlemen Of
conflicting political opinion, among whom
/ may mention Sergt. Hcyer, Joseph NJ.
Horton and VIM. Il. Jones, all Of your
county. That these favored the stern and
vigorous prosecution of the war unit.
Traitors unconditionaIly throw down their
arms and submit, and were unalterably
opposed to all dishoporabie and unmanly
compromises, it. were almost unnecessary
ior me to stste. Resolutions expressive
O. the sense of the assemblage were adop-
Ted, amidst the widest enthusiasm. The
'Jod Is to- war TO the knife against Reb-
els In arms, and toward those unholy
Miscreants in the North who are endeay-
wing 10y every means in their power to
e7nesErass the Administration and retard
TIE progress of our armies to victory, they

'FoAabie feeling of animosity FSee full

We learn with sincere regret of the
ueath Of another of our NUMBER Peter
Neth, faithful soldier, who couple of
weeks since died in hospital at Frederick,
az 1t was not his fate to meet death,
a0' wounds which cause death, on the
.sla OF contest, yet his blood is none the
'''s upon the skirts of those who arc
'eekins the eountry's overthrow. Thus,
'. mat tand OF men who, few months
'"ee, lett their mountain homes to act
" part In preserving the integrity Of
'"a' government which had fostered and
f'''ee'ed them, one after another has
4''eu away until now the names OF fifteen
'''e heroes can be traced on the list of
''s IN jest cause. Our revercd
