"The Record Made Up

II did not take long to fix up the rec,
ord of Fighting Joe Hooker" after he
took command Of, our army in Virginia.
He told us in his evidence against Nc
Clellan what he would have done--how
he could have got into Richmond--how
the failure to take Richmond was ow.
ing to theincompetancy Of the command
ing officer &c. What sad mud pita-
ble position Hooker now occupies. AT
"compellng the enemy to fight him on
ground of his own choosing" he.is igno-
miniousIy beaten off, forced TO relNeat,
in The face Of the enemy, with sacrifice
of ten thousand Of our soldiers. This
is the general politicians have been wrl-
ting up at the expense Of General Mo
Clellau; this is the man who was to ad
vance our banners On to Richmond;
this is the man who deridcd General
Mcclellan, and sought his destruction.
Truly, Gen. Hooker is an object Of pity.
What will his scribbling friends have to
say upon the subject NOW? What will
the country think Of the man who prom
ised SO much and performed SO lutlel
What will those ours have to say whr
have been for months on the track o
Mcclellan, like blood hounds? Is this
the Unseen Hand'--the slaughter o
our brave soldiers? Is this the sort o
fighting Joe Hooker" is accustomed to'
And is this the man to whom was conf
ded the care Of l50, ,00Omen? HespurneC
the spade ard pick" aud ridiculed Nc
Clellan for using them; q little NOR
caution and prudence, with judiciou
use of the spade and pick, might hav
given US the victory, instead Of disaste
and slaughter, "Give US back our ol
commander" is now the cry, and til
i government would do we'll to heed tn
warning. '.

Fort BRUCE, CGAR KEsvILLE, Tenn.
MAY, 8, 1868.

Mr.. EditOr:--I am not half as patri
otic as when enlisted. don't like the
way this war is being conducted, but
lhopeit will be over soon. We hope that
the Democrats may have some inllueuce
with the authorities at Washington to
bring this difficulty to u speedy settle,
ment, for it is my opinion that it will
never be settled by the party in power.
Nearly all the soldiers are tired of the
war, aud would leave it could they get
chance or discharge. Those who are
not tired of the war, are the officers aud
contractors who came into the army for
money and position. Such men are not
tired of the war;, nor do they care what
becomes Of the Government. We are
not willing to fight for the negroes, for we
value our lives little more than ne.
groe's freedom, but we are willing tC
fight for the old Union and the ConSti
tuition, and | have only to ask whether
we are doing it when we fight for th'
| freedom Ol SluNeS. we near UOlulHt
that is going on, all the papers are KEEP
from us, and there is no regularity abou
our mails.
! consider the Abolitionists and sucl
filthy sheets a. the Holmes County Re
publican and TuScarawas Advocate, tn
cause of many poor soldiers death. =.
Why is il that the negroes are bette
off here than the poor soldiers in tn
field? They fare better in our army an
the officers give them more privilege
than the soldiers. The health of th
Regiment is tolerably good, though it
reduced to half It's original number; W
entered the service with eleven hundre
men, and now we can not muster owe
six hundred fit for duty.
Our only hope rests in determined al
, tion and a united North, give us th
and in less than nine months the rebe
lion will be crushed beneath the wave
} of the great gulf, and the banner tht
aoated so proudly over the fame Of tn
honored Washington will again unive
sally waive over the land of the free an
: the home of the brave. ...-

large number Of women-youug and
old, rich aud poor, married and single,
handsome and ugly, in silk dresses and
calico dresses, with new spring bonnets
and old winter bonnets-will be on hand

and Miss Ann Dickinson will probably
make speeches, and a few old women
like Cheever, Beecher and Greely, with
spectacles on their noses and anti-slavery

obey the order, as it came from our Su-
periors. The church was filed to over.
flowing, principally by members Of the
Catholic Church, among whom was Maj.
Gen. Rosecrans, and many other dis
tingnished officers. They arsall Union
Democrats, and opposed to Lineoln's
Proclamation to free the negroes, and
what those scribblers in the Advocate
call Traitors" "Sympathizers," "Cop'
perheads," ,"&c. Strange that they should
talk against partyism, when all theil
