have been 10 work for the last Two days,
building a brush barricade on The back
side OF the hill, TO prevent cavalry
charge in that direction. In tact' every
day renders this place more and more dli-
fcull to take Rumor las been p'eVa-
len, for the last eight or ten days, that we
were soon to be attacked by superior
force Of Morgans cavalry. How wen
founded these rumors are am unable 70
say, but unusual activity has been mani
tested in putting things in lighting con-
dilion.
There las been picket firing nearly
every day for the last ten days, When
our cavalry goes out, the "Reos' sHe-
dSddle. TO day, rs our cavalry were
outside the picket line, they ran upon

A very sad occurrence happened the

thrown under the wheel, which passed
over his head, crushing it in horrid man

hospital. understand their discharge is
being made out. They will probably be

hospital here, are o. Fisher, ]. White and
X. Root. They are all doing WE'LL
wish 10 return the sincere thanks o'
members OF Cos. b and 6 to the patriotic
ladies' Of Newbury and vicinity, for boz
Of socks and towels sent to them ant
may such patriotic d, eds ilom our no
bic mothers and sisters put 10 shame Ihos
cownrdly Copperheads who grumble an
dodge whenever The Government require
anything from them toward putting dow
this gigantic Rebellion.
The cry Of "Peace, peace" which ha
been heard at the North, is but dagge
thrust a. the heart Of our brave and patri
olic soldiers, for it inaames and kind!e

South on in hopes Of divided North
We, as soldiers in ihe field, are willing I
fight on until the cry of peace comes fror
the South. Whenever they will return
their allegiance, they can have peace, an
not until then, il the wishes Of the soldier
are consulted. Yours, c.. ?. b.
