CAMP 9TH y. G. TROOPS,
Near Kapiian Station, Aug Oath, 1868.
MEssRs EDITORS You have no doubt concluded
long ago that Sinclear had gone up the spout but
alive and able to destroy bis full quota of Mr. Davis
bountiful ratons. will have to request that you ex
cuse Sinclear for his prolonged silence the ground
that it was impossible until very lately for him to get
more than paper enough to write line two every
week to his parents and Miss Seraphna-
That gal you know
That bothers him SO,
Especially when she writes such letters the last he
received about the calico frock he promised to bring
her from Pennsylvania. Since he got that fatal letter
he has been able to paper enough to write several
letters to the Patriot.
1t would be useless for me 10 bore the readers Of the
Patriot at this late date with recital Of events con-
nected with the Md and Pa. campaign, as there has
been enough written about it already to disgust both
North and South, neither Of which were very greatly
benefited by it. For the last week or two have not
heard much else talked of in camp but the conduct OF
North Carolina in regard to the peace question. The
rum DIS We get from the citizens OF different parts OF the
State who visiting their people III the army are
various. O0e Gay we hear that the deserters and
Unionsts have formed league n the western part OF
the State and threaten to force those who are opposed
into submission and reconstruction. Another day we
hear that the whole State Of North Carolina is regular
in fer peace upon any terms and to cap the climax we
were informed last Tuesday that the Stars and Stripes
| were family waving over the Capitol at Raleigh.
|
notice it very lightly and give it little or no credence
| AS for my part l know that there is bound to be
some stencil where much ro:teness and corruption
exists have an idea that there is class OF men IN
North Carolina who never have been anything bat
the cause, and By the aid of few croakers
have managed to get up an excitement among por-
ton by preaching to them that there wa3 no other al
tentative but submission and recons trucon, and that
if steps were not Immediately taken to reconstruct the
Union the South would be reduced to teggar3 III a
very short time hope that there is no sensible man
who is friendly to the cause for which We are fighting
that will be convinced that such suggested
by those nsoent croakets s st present or ever will b5
inevitable for the common good of the Nation hope
that North CaroIinians will always bear in mind wher
such question as peace is at issue that the blood
some of their nobest sons has crimsoned the soil o

Ind We ar all hear his roar ssain,
From mountain height, from lAwland glen
From sandy shore and reedy FEM
Where 'er band OF freebOrn men,
Rears sacred shTnes to liberty.
The serpent scales the Eagles nest,
And yet the Royal Bird in air,
Triumphant wins the mountain g crest,
And sworn for strife, yet takes his rest,
And pluues, to calm, bis rutI d breast,
Till, like a storm bolt from the west,
He strikes the invader in his lair.

If, like the eagle, wing'd to roam,
We span the rock and breast the foam,
Still Watchfu Cor the hour of doom,
When, with the knen o. thunder-boom,
We bound upon the serpent foe.
