FROM THE CAVALRY.
CAMP NEAR FORT ScoTr, J
January l6, 1868. (

January l6, 1868.
Mr.. Editor There has been but lit.
tie change in affairs pertaining to the Vt.
Cavalry since its encampment in its pres
ent position, except that nearly all the ef-
ective men are on picket at different points
averaging not more than Is miles from
Washington. The Headquarters of the
regiment has not been moved. The diff.
ferent posts where our pickets are station
ed are Arnandale, Lewinsville and Drains.
vile. At some of these places the men
are quartered in deserted houses which
furnish good Accommodations for them and
their horses.
Nothing has been seen or heard of the
rebels, besides an occasional shot by
bush wacker, with the exception of the re.
cent raid upon our whole line of pickets
from Dumfries to Drainsville. At this
time two or three Of our men including
Lieut. Cummings of Co. D, were taken
prisoners. Our men were driven in frcm
their posts, but resumed them shortly af-
terwards, and have not been disturbed
since.
With hardly an exception the men are
very much pleased with picket duty, and
the advantage which it possesses in some
respects over their manner of life in camp,
as there is more excitement and variety
than in the dull routine of camp life, and
is quite as conducive to health.
The last company Of the new squadron
has at length arrived, and filled the regi-
mcnt to its full number of companies and
: men. The regiment has now twelve COM
, panies and should number between one
s thousand to twelve hundred men.
The health of the men at present, is ex-
|, cellent, as there are not more than sixty
a on the sick list, and many Of these on
s light or dismounted duty. Many of the
: men are still without horses, bat will no
: DOUBT be furnished with them as soon al
possible.
o Lieut.. Col. Preston has been purchasing
; horses in Vermont, and as yet but por.
= tion of them have arrived in camp; the
d remainder will probably be brought in be-
: fore many days.
n The usual winter rains are holding of
n very late this season, there having beer
IS but few.of short duration each. Not
J enough water has fallento injurc road
y for heavy transportation in this vicinity
O. Beside an occasional period of two o
Ut three days at time of cold weather, mos
g. of the time is pleasant and warm for th
a. season Of the year and presents aSstronl
Sc contrast to our Vermont winters
Col. Sawyer has been reinstated in hi
y command of the regiment for some time
nc and is very able and efficient officer.

How the Account Stands.

Those who insist We are making no
progress against the rebellion, will do
well to consider the following facts:
lst. The rebellion has not permanent
ly gained one foot Of territory within l6
months.
2nd. 1t has lost Maryland, the West
ern part of Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky
the greater portion of Tennessee, the
Northern and Northwestern parts Of Ar
kansas, parts of Mississippi, North Car
DINA, Florida, and one-third of louisa
ia.
Sd. 1t has virtually lost the control of
the Mississippi, the Cumbe land, the
Teures the Arkansas and the Yazoo
rivers--thus opening the very heart of
the insurgent country to our armies and
fleets.
4th. 1t has lost New Mexico and the
other Western and Southwestern terrific
.ries.
9Th. 1t has lost Fort Macon, Fort Pu-
laski, Fort Marion, Forts Jackson and
St. Philip.
9Th. 1t has lost Norfolk and Newbern
and Beaufort and Pensacola, and New
Orleans, and it will doubtless lose Mobile
and other important places in very few
weeks.
18th. The Union cause has steadily
and consistently advanced from the fall
of Sumter to the present time.
9th. Maryland, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, have been converted from a posi-
ton Of semi to that of unconditional 10y
atty.
9th. We have held every point of i'm
portanee that we occupied from the be-
ginning OF the war.
10th Pieces like Norfolk, Memphis,
Nashville, and New Orleans, which at
the time of their capture were the hot
beds of treason, are gradually coming
back to their old allegiance.
18th. The purpose of our people to
save the Union at all costs and hazards
remains mistaken. albany Evening
