In Withdrawing from the south bank Of the
river before delivoringa general battlJ to our
adyersaries, the army has given renewed evidence
of its confidence in itself and its stability to the

Profoundly loyal and conscious Of its strength
the Army OF the Potomac will give or decline

The following private letters were written by

Dear ones al home. Our Brigade crossed last
evening and advanced at daylight to where we
are now lying in the road, about q mile above
where we were in the last battle. Shot and
shell are flying very briskly all around us and
over our heads, but bank OF earth protects our
brigade from the enemys fire just now, though
we are somewhat in danger from the defective
shells Of one Of our own batteries Several frag-
ments have fallen among US without injuring
any one. One just fell in mudpuddle throw
ing some drops Of dirty water on me, among
er's advance. Some regiments are now making
a charge. They 60 forward bravely. The sight
makes my pulse beat fast. You would admire
the noble manhood expressed in the faces of
many Of our Vermont boys as they wait for the
order to act their part IN the fight. hsye had
several short, butyery pleasant, yes, precious
conversations with some happy soldiers Of Christ,
who now realize nearer communion with Him
than they have ever found even in the peace OF
Sabbaths and sanctuaries at home. If one Of
these has commenced a Sabbath whose bright
sun for him shall never set but only be ex-
changed for the glorious Light Of Heaven, what
comforting messages | shall send to his friends
II | find chance to send this of the field to be
mailed, shall do so, and il | have no chance
to add word, do not think Of me as hurt, but

The VERMONT CAvALRr.-FrOm private
lctter we learn that this regiment is held in high
estimation by Col. De Forest, in whose brigade
it is, who was willing to receive it in exchange
for the 18th Penn, commanded by an officer
from the regular army, and numbering nearly
1900 men. Gen. Stahel calls the brigade, Of
which our regiment forms nearly half, Lis
lighting brigade. So it would seem, notwith-
standing the msiortunes of our cavalry regi-
ment, that it is not yet quite played out.
