Sinca my last communication to you
hased gained some knowledge Of the
counssy and people- there are soaa very
fine farsas, and In fact mosa Of the citi-
fens that LAave talked TO wish for the
Union Is it w1s, some are Union and
seme Secession-an old man said 10 me
yesterday-"weli, said be nay good wishes
give TO the people o: the United States;
and yet | cannet tell why, when this war
commenced | had plenty to make me
comfortable, the Confederate troops
passed through here, did not disturb me
| in any manner-snon the Federal army
came and the privstes by what they cali
ed jay hawking, took everything | had,
they took four horses, killed my cattle,
stripped my house-they would come
twenty or thirty at night and all hours Of
tine day went to the commanders, they
told ma it was against orders, and should
not De, that il vas wrong, bat could BOT
get my property. it was gone and l am
left TO ges living the bess way can--yes,
said be | repeat it again, do wish for q
United States, and but give me back my
youth aud / woald join your army
here is better Union man pzrer and
truer than any radical aboiikionist from q
state of ease and plenty, he has been re-
duced to the lowest shades of poverty,
simply because he lived 10 a slave State
and yet his heart ia warm for the Union,
now who are the parties that rob such
peoplef answer every time the aboli-
ton portion Of the army, they cannot
deal out justice to persons living in sIaVe
States.
An order has just come to the Regi.
ment from the Ganeral commanding to
march at lax to-morow-Welfriss Bat,
tsgy Is also ordered--the understanding
is, that it is to shsli . town, but wha
6qe or where do not know. Health in
the army is very good. ZoUAvE.
