from letter written by an officer in the
Twelfth Ohio, shows what sort of feelings
the soldier entertains toward the traitors
whom he has left at home: ......
FAYETTEVILLE, Va, Jan. H.
DEAR BROTHER: A great work of de.
moralization is progressing in the army and
no wonder. The late reverses at Fredcr.
icksburg and Vicksburg came upon our
men with stunning effect. This they bore
up under bravely but when they see such
filthy sheets as the Cincinnati Enauirer and
the Dayton Empire spouting treason, and
hear the Legislators and Senator's, on tho
very floor of the Senate Hall and House of
Representatives, donouncing the cause for
which We are fighting as unboly-cursing
the Administration, and openly applying
the most dastardly epithets to the President
proposing to pass a Joint resolution, de.
claring that he who ATTEMPTS to collect the
very tax assessed to furnish us with our
daily bread, is guilty of felony--a crime
punishable with death-openly taking the
initiatory steps toward cut throat propo,i
ton to separate the agricultural districts of
the West from the manufacturing districts
of the East, if need be by open war, and
this, too, when the men of New York and
other Eastern States and the patriots of
Ohio and Indiana are welding mn their
lives by thousands. side by side and hand
in hand on the distant ba.tle feld--T sav
when our men see such exhibitions ot tres.
son and sympathy with the South bv the
very beartbstope they have left. Is IL anv
wonder that thew are disboartened and con
clude that they have not the sympatbies of
the mass at home? In the nams of God
why is all this permitted? Are there not
strong.armed Union men enough in the
North to subdue treason in the yery heart
of Ohio and Indlana2 If not. why need
we spend our best hearts blood irving to
suppress it abroad? Have the Union men
of the North no sympathy with us? Do
they not know that every copy of the
Cincinnati ENQUIRER or Dayten Emnire
which is read in camp eppenders n feelino
of encouragement in the heart of every
soldier who is able to read? Do they not
camrs, and that thew raise the spirits of the
Southern army in proportionate degree as
they depress ours? Do they NOT know that
