the lamented Col Drake. addressed 10 the
latters widow:

CAMP SILL, Jan. 81, %.
MRs. Col. Law DnAKE:
DEAR MADAM:--Though stranger TO you
l would obtrude upon your hours of gloom.
to say word in mitigation OF your grief and
hear testimony to the memory Of departed
worth.
first met your noble husband in the tent
ed field, in August, 1861, since which time
he has been my constant companion aud most
valued friend. In all the qualities OF gener-
GUS and exalted manhood, he excelled aud |
trusted aud admired him us IL brother. AS n
soldier, he was without rsproach; as a patr.-
OF, be gave his service and his life to his
country, from pure sense of dutyi as a hero
he achieved a name in history, in which your
self and children nsy take just, though
melancholy pride. On the bloody field Of Shi'
loh, before tie ramparts of Corinth, at Law
renceburgh. Salt River, Morrills Hill and
Baums Cross Roads, and finally on the fatal
plains OF Stone River. has not only display
ed thrilling heroism, but exhibited. conspic.
uously, all those qualities so essential in a
commander.
Always gentle. always just. always hon
orable, and ever so brave aud prudent, he
won the love and admiration OF all. The na.
tion mas made no more noble or precious n
sacrifice, to the cause Of constitutional liber-
ty, since the crime of rebellion was inaugu
rated. The State mourns valued citizen
the community an ornament--his family, a
devoted husband AID kind father; and the
army OF the Republic an accomplished and
gallant leader.
Our regiment. with ranks .hinned by ma.
ny a strife, mourns because their friend and
idol, as a leader, "sleeps the sleep of death"
Every man loved him as the child loves the
father. He foil at his post of duty. His last
words were words Of cheer to his brave com.
mand, amid the smoke and terrible din OF
battle.
When utterance filled, he waved his noble
arr to his romrads, as If to say, "do your du.
ty; die as the hero loves to die" Thushe
lived and thus he died But he has gone
from the conflicts OF this life, to claim his
citizenship in the Republic Of Heaven.
Let us emulate his pure and noble exam.
pie, and prove ourselves worthy of that bet
ter world, where the turmoil of battlA il
hushed by the swelling anthems Of Angelic
hosts! Accept, respected madam. my sin.
eere sympathy, in this the day of your scr
rev, and rest assured that shall ever take
great pleasure in serving yourself and chill
dreD, in any manner within my power.
May the God of all grace, throw arodnd
youIsslf and "litlle onss.' the arms Of his
Sustaining care. May your children grow
up like olive plants, to cheer you, in lifs's
lonely Journeys and may they be spared for
long years Of usefulness. honorihg the name
Of their noble and pAtriO.ic father.
am, most truly,

FROM TmE I2sD REGIMENT
RoMSEY, VA, J
January 20, 1855

RoMNEY, Va,
January 20, 1885
DEAR TRIBUNE:
The l23d, after series Of eyentful
days, in which some good marches were
made and several bloodless battles were
fought, has at length turned up at this
place, all safe and sound. Your readers
have doubtless heard of the renowned
battle at Moorefield-how the rebel CO.
horts came down like the wolf on the
fold, and invested the town of Moorefield
expecting to gobble up the 10th Ohio,
for an evening repast, and then go over
10 Petersburgh and breakfast on the 123d
and how the sudden appearance of Coz
Washburn and Col. Wilson, with the in
vincble l23d, in sight Of Moorefeld,
slightly deranged their nice laid schemes
and how they suddenly left with good
sized flea in their ear and a very nnpleas-
ant sensation about their rear.
The reason the battle was bloodless
one was not any fault of fours but because
the rebs did not stay long enough to al
low our boys to get within musket range.
The consequence was il was merely a
military duel, affording fine spectacle
for us but not very entertaining for the
rebels, as several horses were turned in
