Our sudden transfer from the seaboard to
the mountains, lends bat little interest to
my letter, but as the 9th Regiment arrived
here safely. on Sunday (to day) at "a. M,
it may be of interest to the friends of its
members to hear from it. The reports and
rumors Of raids occurring, and in prospec-
tive, has doubtless led to this movement,
which seems to have taken the citizens Of
our present locality as unawares, as were
those Of Charleston; be that as it may, it is
likely we will be sent to such parts Of the
State, awsy from home, where there isa
probability of E'seeing service. At the. pres.
ent writing our destination is unknown, but
letters directed to the company, at this
place Will be duly forwarded. 1 learn that
a cavalry, and probably an infantry company
has been organized, but judging from the
number of refugees about town, and the
many sshome guards" we caught glancesat
as the overloaded cars ground along their
weary vay. there Is no reliance on them.
