c II A p L f. r NI.

The next morning after our arrival at
Richmond, we learned that there was some
trouble with the boat, and they could not
take US down the river. The next day We
were told there was no boat there and they
were waiting for one to come up. We had
to endure this delay. The next day We were
told that there was no boat down the river,
that they were not expecting any, that our
Government had broken off the exchange.
ii was a crushing blow to all. To get as
we supposed almost to our lines, and then to
be flung back into despair.
We remained in the hospital while, and
were then taken 10 a store house. They had
just removed from it lot of pork and hams,
and the filth was two inches thick on the
floor.
l. was about 40 feet by 30, the space We
o'cIpied. Here were our cooking apparatus,
sink, wash room, sleeping room and prone
made. There was no means of ventiating il
hut by two windows that opened on the canal.
A hoSpitai Oh one side, guard room on the
other, and hols stable un erneath. No
need to multiply words-it was too filthy and
unhealthy for hogs.
Here w remained, enduring insults. pri-
vatious ard sickness, until they were obliged
to send US south to the tune of Yankee can
non. This was the same "black hol," into
which they afterwards thrust Popes officers.
While here We learned much of rebel
movements. They had all along expected
Mcclellan wonld go to the Peninsula. So
certain were they that they had defended it
with 800 cannon, and left undefended both
the routes from Manassas and Fredericks-
burg.
At the time the Merrimac was DESTROYED,
our gunboats conld have come straight to
Richmond. They owned it themselves
The Instructions had not been filled across
the channel. Fort Darling had not its guns
mounted; ammunition had not gone to the
batteries, and they felt that Richmond was
lost. All the government money. papers, doc
uments, &c, were sent to Columbia, S. G..
and jeff Davis and family went to Raleigh.
But the delay of our gunboats gave them
time to prepare for defence and block up the
river.
l will here copy from my journal:
Maj Vogdes, U. S. A., who was captured
at Fort Pickens, is here among US. He is
an old army officer, and for some time Pro-
fessor of Mathematics at West Point. He
gave as his opinion that the route from the
Peninsula was the worst that could have been
taken. He predicts that the result will be as
follows:
"The time spent in taking Yorktown will
enable the rebels to prepare a second line Of
defence near Richmond, so that whatever
the result may be there on the Peninsula,
they will have another line as stong to fall
back on.

ago, twelve boatloads went past Maysville
bound for Tennessee.
! Something must be done in the three mex
months, or the heart of the people will b.
sick with waiting.
! The kentucky legislature is now in session
and will pass resolutions in keeping with thu
Governors recommendation, viz: to con
denim the proclamation, and at the same tims
to reiterate the determination of Kentuck,
to adhere TO the Union, and to combat alike
all violators of the constitution, whether res
ldents of the South or North. The little
" great speech " of ValIandigham finds nc
favor here, save with the rebel sympathizers
They regard it as the ne plus ultra of sena.
torlal perfection, and are making arrange.
ments to circulate it in Kentucky, to prepare
the people for an approaching gubernatorial
election. The peace doctrine of the speech
is the essence of treason. He says to the
rebels: We acknowledge your right to Sc
cede, the sufiiciency of your provocations, our
inability to whip you. AS your blood is bet
ter than ours, your valor and wisdom greater,
we give up to you the territory we have con-
quered, land throw in the states North ard
East OF the Ohio river. Please arrange the
boundary OF the Southern Confederacy to
suit yourselves, &c. This is the doctrine the
speech contains, when winnowed of its 80
per cent OF chatf. No wonder it takes like
wildtire with traitors.
The winter thus far has been remark ably
mild and rainy. The freezes have been few
and far between. and so slight that ice lovers
will have to go the next summer without this
luxury in their beverages. The character of
cur snow-storms have been likewise remark
able. In October. there was sudden fall of
snow. inches in depth, which disappeared
in few days. Although three weeks ago,
We had heavy rain, which turned to snow
storm, and at its close the ground was cov-
cred to the depth of l. inches. In Cincin-
natl, the snow was 50 inches, while some 200
miles up the Ohio river, there Was a "mere
sprinkle" Now the ground is bare. Yes
terday there was copicus fall of rain. The
dirt-roads, don't speak of it y are but elong.
ated Serbonian bogs, with the bottom entirely
out. "Up to the hub would be respectable
travelling. in comparison with their present
condition. If the armies have to move over
such highways, to find the foe, it is no won-
der that victories are few and far between,
and the patience of the nation nearly ex-
hausted. ND.

Mr. EDITOR: After long period OF 81

indite your numerous readers another letter.
" Hard Times," is knocking at all our doors,
not the poor slaves alone, and how to keep
starvation and nakedness from seeking an
entrance there also, is now the puzzle for old
brains to solve. If it were onl y" lew more

art of man, let him do the best he can" to
soften them, so as to make them available for
family purposes. Dry goods and sweetening

reach of every body, whose person and purse
is not six-footer while money is so depre-
ciated as to be scarcely worth the space it
occupies in mans breeches' pocket. Gold
and silver are so scarce that the occasional
glimpse of small piece dazzles the eye like
the sun, and it is thought that, while an eagle
would blind person of ordinary visional

the brain and render him crazy. "Small

the plaintive music, is quite charming. 1t will be
remembered that most of Gen FremOnt's body
