From the 75th.--We have just received
letter from our young friend Sergeant Jas.
NJ. Malambre, of the 10Th Ohio, dated at
Stafford C.. H., Va, Dec 80, After giving
us an account Of the weary pilgrimage of the
18th for some time past ana of its participa-
ton in several bAttlesAabodtal tall Of which our
readers have been advised-he says
"We are now encamped short distance
West Of the village Of Stafford c. H., where
we fell back to after Burnside recrossed the
Rappahannock. We arrived here on the
| 18th, and took our position in a dense piue
forest which forest, at this writing, has very
nearly liteout, the trees having been cut
down to build, cover and furnish shanties.
Verify, we soldiers have proved the truth Of
the adage that Necessity is the Mother Of
Invention and every conceivable style of
inventioni intervention, yention and prevent
ion, may be discovered in and about our
camp. Great is wooden country; and hav-
ing abundance of pine wood, who would pine
for home2 Not we of the battered 10th,
who wouldn't exchange our cozy quarters
(huts, | mean, for we haven't seen any silver
for long while l)--for any thing wey e seen
since we have been tramping around these
parts
s'The little rage called 'shelter-tentsi which
we packed around on our backs, were only
fit to protect us from the Summer sun and
we would perish in them this Winter. Our
wooden tents answer all in-tents and purpo
ses of shelter, and pine limbs and twigs af.
ford comfortable beds for those who are not
too lazylto gather and prepare them, We
have very nearly approached state of ma
ture in this very primitive-looking camp, and
we would not relish being disturbed during
the cold weather unless there is another such

badly for attention which, between you

tertainmeni we would desire to be invited to
these holiday times
christmas was just as good as any other
day with us, We had our usual allowance of

else in Camp to make jolly over we privates
didn't see it. If~there was any thing going
op-and We DON'T say there wasn't l--it was

day, which is more pleasant than shooting
each other And our pickets gather up ali
the coffee they find lying around loose and
trade il to the secesh pickets for tobacco.
Some of'Odr enterprising tradesmen have re.
allied considerable profit by buying up coffee

plugs of tobacco, which they readily sell for
$3.50 per plug'l n 1T ~ y ~
