HEAD QUARTERS lZlsT ". v L.,
Opposite Chattanooga, Nov. 20, 1863.
Mr. THOMSON have a few moments of
leisure, and know not when shal again have the
privilege Of addressing you, thought would
this evening indi te a few lines for your col
umns, and inform you of our Operations, &c.
We have this evening received orders from
headquarters to have two days rations cook
ed Immediately, and one hundred ronnds Of
ammunition on each person, and all things in
readiness to change our position early to-mor-
row morning. Imagine our surprise. We
had Just completed our winter quarters, as we
thought, and to-day fitted out cur camp in ap-
pie pie order, had got everything arranged to
make it comfortable and pleasant this winter,
good cabins, fine fire places, &C., and now to
be served as we were last winter in Kentucky,
ordered to leave them as soon as we had COM
pleted them. Pshaw, it is rough, isn't it p
But hold. We cannot complain, for we came
here to undergo jast such proceediDgs.-
There would no strategy about it, if we did
not do so. Fighting, marching, hard grub
bing, short rations and disaPpointments, was
what we expected at times, when We enlisted.
And knowing this we are contented, and will
ing for anything, if it will further us on in
ending this ungodIy, and uncalled for rebel
lion.
We learn that many of our brave comrades,
who fell by our sides on the 10th of Sept, are
yet unburied, and that the swine are devouring
their remains. Great God has such horri-
bIe barbarism parable in the annals of his
tory? Such mean, dastardly and contempti-
bic conduct, is worthy of the vituperation of
ALL Such news will no doubt cause many
tears, sobs and sighs at many hearthstones.-
Such news will show Copperhead Doughfaces
of the north how kind and humanely their
southern brethren treat the remains of their
neighbors and friends. Such news surely
cannot fail TO stir up the dormant spirit of
all loyal men Of the north, both young and
old, to a proper resentment, and induce them
to JOIN their brothers in arms, who have 30
long and manfully, stood the burden of hard
marching and hard fighting. Colonel Ban
ming is now at home with recruiting party
from our regiment. We have sent nine men
to Ohio for the purpose of filling up our ranks,
if possible, with recruits. We need assistance,
and hope that they will meet with good sue
cess, and bring back with them good num-
Der of men from our old county, as also others
who we think have tarried at home long
enough, and should now break from their bust
ness and fresides, aHd fly to our aid. We
would love to enjoy home pleasures, no doubt,
as well as they but we are willing to con-
tent ourselves, where we are, for some time to
come, rather than loose the dsy and liberties
for which we are contending. We think we
are doing as much, even more" for our
friends where we are, than we could do by re-

MoNEY-HoW no KEEP II,

The way to keep money is 10 earn it fairly
and honestly Money so obtained is pretty
certain to abide with its pessessor. But money
that is inherited, or that in any way comes
without fair and just equivalent, is almost
as certain to go as it came. The young mar
who begins by saving few shillings, and
.thriftily increases his store-every coin being
a representative of good, solid work, honestly
and mapfully done-stands better chance
to spend the last half of his life in affluenct
and comfort than he who, in his haste to be-
come rich, obtains money by dashing specula.
tions, ard the devious means which abound il
the foggy region lying between fair dealing
and actual fraud. Among the wisest and
most thrifty men of wealth, the current pro-
verb is, ''Money goes as it comes" Let tbs
young make note of this, and see that theil
money comes fairly, that it may long abide
with them.

A writer in the Agricultural Review Haya
deep cultivation is inappIicable in the case Of
sandy soils, except when they rest upon stif
sub-soil, which, however, is rarely the case
If there be simply thin stratum OF stiR
clay beneath the sandy soil, it should not al
ways be broken through, as 1t may prevent
the moisture passing away too rapidly ~
drainage. WheH friable soil rests on chalk,
gravel or sand, deep blowing should nos bs
performed. We have often know manure 70
be plowed in 80 deeply that It's decomposition
took place only aFter the lapse OF several
years., Manure to bs efficient, must be as
close 10 the surface as possible, in order that
the nourishment afforded BY il may 6e within
EASY access 10 the rootlsta Of the plants.

THE EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-A letter
from Solicitor Whiting, of the War Depart
ment, relative TO the difficulty surrounding
the subject of the exchange of prisoners, has
been made public. Mr.. Whiting intimates
that the correspondence between the commits
sioners, as published, does not really relate to
the true difficulties which exist-which are,
sending into service many Of the unexchanged
Vicksburg captives, and the peremptOry re-
fusal by the Oonfederates to exchange colored
soldiers and their white officers upon any
terms whatever. Mr., w. further gives the
assurance that the faith Of the Government is
pledged to protect these men, and it will not
abandon them The President has ordered
the stern law Of retaliation enforced to avenge
the death Of the first Union soldier, of what
ever color, whom the enemy shall in cold
blood destroy or sell into slavery. ~ -

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR

Governor Seymour attended the dedication
of the Gettysburg Cemetery. After the cere-
monies, he presented a flag to detachment of
New York regiment, and in bis address
took strong ground in favor Of vigorous pro-
secution of the war. He is reported to have
said that he believed it the only alternative
left us between stable Republican Govern
ment on the one hand, and despotism, anarchy,
and ruin on the other. The late elections
have had a wholesome effect upon Governor
Seymour. We hope he is done with the good
Lord good-devI policy, and that he is at last
unequiYocally and permanently on the war
side of the fence.

An-s.THE BosST FLAG"
BY ANNIE E. HOWE.
God bless each gallant soldier,
That heard his country's call,
Forgot home-eharms, and few TO arms;
Gods blessing on them all;
But smile more kindly, Heaven,
Oh, send still richer joys,
From thy blest hand, to that brave band,
The 4th Ohio boys.
Hurrah Hurrah
For our gallant soldier boys;
In all the land, no braver band,
Than the 4th Ohio boys.
when drst the wars loud bugle
Pealed forth from vale to crAg,
They heard the sound, and rallied round,
To save the dear old flag.
And ever since, bow nobiy,
With hearts both strong and true,
They've kept their posts, mid rebel hosts,
And braved each danger through.
Hurrah Hurrah &c.
Their long and dreary marches,
Ger mountains rough and steep,
And bleak with snow, where Eild-winds blow
O'er rivers wide and deep.
Though hungry oft and weary,
Unsheltered from the night,
Though wet and cold, their hearts were bold,
Nor swerved not from the right.
Hurrah Hurrah &c,
Through many a bloody battle
And skirmish have they passed;
Pet kept their name, SCith0ss a stain,
And held their banner fast.
At Fredericksburg they battlsd,
At Gettysburg they fought,
At tChancellorsvIlle, with ri ght good will,
Their liberty they bought.
Hurrah Hurrah &c
And some OF that brave number,
Upon the battles plain,
Amidst the Tight for truth and right.
We're numbered with the slain
But ever yea, forever,
Like breath of fragrant flowers,
Their memory will ever be
In these fond hearts Of ours.
Hurrah Hurrah &C.
God shield them still from danger;
Oh, save them from each harm,
By night and day, along their way,
In sunshine and in rain.
And when this war is over,
And peace is ours again,
On, bring them home, more to roam,
Enduring toll and pain.
Hurrah Hurrah sc,
And with what joyous welcomes,
What warm clasps Of the hand,
And kisses sweet, weil haste to greet,
That brave and gallant band.
Forever be remembered
The noble deeds they've done;
And they enjoy, without alloy,
The triumphs they have
Hurrah Hurrah
For our gallant soldier boys;
In all the land, braver band,
Than the 4th Ohio boys.

Our DEAD AT CHICKAMAUGA.-Grant's vic
tories in front of Chattanooga, have given us
possession of the Chickamauga battle gro1nd.
1t was discovered that our brave men vic fell
on that field 10th and goth of September were
unburied. Not only that, but some of their
heads had been cut off and set up on stumps
and stuck on poles Our special correspOn-
dent informs us that the severed heads were
seen by General Grant. This hide GUS exhibi-
ton of the barbarism Of the rebels worthy the
scoundrels. It shows what a base brood of
miscreants we are fighting. They are fit cham.

stand by that flag, never desert it, bear il
dmphantly until, on your return home, you
shall plant it on every hilltop, in every town
and hamlet, the flag of the Free.
Covered with the laurels of victory, and the
glory Of our arms, we must not forget the gal
liant dead. When we first came into the field
we numbered thousands more than We do now.
In five different States, Of the so-called South
ern ConFederacy, we have left comrades in the
hollow grave. On thirteen different battle
! fields, you can find mounds erected over heroes
from the third Division, but mark you, where
yer one of our soldiers fell, two or Eve of the
enemy bit the dust The Sd Division has
made ten Generals, and hope to God it will
make ten more. The Gen.. commanding you,
(Maltby,) owes his promotion to your brave
~, and myself-my brave boys, owe you all.
1t is to you that l owe my promotion, to you
that ascribe it. 1t was not my poor service,
it was your courage, your fortitude, your per.
severance that made, and will make Generals
as long as you remain in the field.
Continue true to yourselves, my brave fell
lows let no man, who hears me here to-day,
ever be branded with the stain of cowardice,
ever disgrace the name be has so proudly won
but let it be his pride to say, belonged to
the Sd Division of the thirteenth army corps"
am not your historian, but let me say, you
have written for yourselves one of the bright
est pages of history the world has ever seen
And when you return to your homes, if ever
you are permitted, your mothers, your sisters,
your swest-hearts will receive you with open
arms, and say, Z" well done thou good and
faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over
few things, l will make the ruler over many"
Soldiers, we must part and il ever we
meet again, may it be under more favorable
circumstances, than to-day; may it be with
pleasure. Soldiers, obey your officers, stand
by them, and they will stand by you, and lead
you to glorious victory Soldiers, it is hard |
to part / can say no mere my brave boys, |
must bid you farewell"
Thus parted one Of our bravest Generals
from his old division, but we have the proud |
est satisfaction of knowing, that we shall hear
of his deeds of daring and valor, in another
department.
Speaking of farewells, must notice that
our Brigade commander, Gen. Force, has bid I
us farewell, and takes command of the lst
Brigade The following order explains.

After which we were ordered to "fall in"-
the Regiment was formed, and marched by
Colonel A. NEFF through the principal streets
of the city And it made fine appearance
too. After marching thus for two or three
hours, we returned tired to our quarters,
where to our utter surprise, we found them
surrounded, infested, in fact, completely taken.
Fortunately we had left behind only a few
cripples. And in our absence the ladies had
taken possession without even sending in a
flag of truce, or demanding formal surren-
der.
1t was thanksgiving and they, God bless
them, remembered the soldier, and we shall
remember them. They had completely load
ed our tables with delicaeies, and were await
ing our return. And such dinners soldiers
seldom enjoy. Neither were the ladies OF
Cincinnati partial in disposing of their boun-
ties, for at all the hospitals, barracks, prisons
&C., a sumptuous repast wes provided. That
furnished at the Kelton Barracks, was gotten
up by MISS MOODY. God and the soldiers
bless her, long may she wave.

Both Illinois leaves the Brigade, (ours) the
32d Ohio takes its place, and am transferred
to the First Brigade. The permanent COM
mand dsvolves upon Col. R. K. Scott, 68th

brigade, has been recognized. During his ab-
sence on recruiting order, the command devol-
YES upon Col. B. T. Potts, of the 32d Ohio,
whose favorable reputation has reached those
to whom be is personally stranger. To part
from the Brigade, from which 1 have never
been absent, since its organization and from
the regiment, which Joined as a raw recruit,
is not Easy.

Captain Hills, of Company D, is going
home to Delaware, and we would advice any
young fellow who wants to serve bis country,
to prove his courage and nanliness by volun-
teering. I understand our Captain is prepar-
ed to receive recruits, and 1 would say to
young fellows anxious Of joining veteran re-
giment, I know of none in our department
that enjoys better reputation than the 10th
Ohio. Come on young friends, you will see
life, you will help to crush out the rebellion
already in its dying struggles; you will see
that great curiosity, the last ditch, where we
intend to bury secession SO deep, that it shall
never be resurrected.
Ed. Roberts enjoys poor health at present.
