Mr.. Editor:-Permit me through
your paper to pass away few m,'-
ments of camp life in trying to write
few lines to let the friends of Co.
"a know how we are getting along.
The boys are all well except three
or four sick now in the hospital.
We have plenty ofduty to do, and
are kept drilling about six hours
per day when the weather will per-
nit.
There are some Copperheads in
old Gallia that are making them
selves very uneasy about the 91st
having good times out here, calling
US towards. / would like to know
which are the towards. the men who
have left their homes and families
and all that is near and dear to them,
and gone out to fight for their coun-
try, and have laid down their lives a
sacrifice for that good old flag which
they have sworn to protect against
all foes, or the men who have saved
at home, doing all they can against
the Government, and soldiers who
are fighting for your country and our
country.
The 91st have always gone where
ever ordered, although it has never
participated in big fight, vet its not
her fault. t'is the reDels fault. When
they would hear of the 9lst approach
ing, they would take to the woods
or some other better hiding place.
If the Copperheads of Gallia think
the 9lst will not hight let them try
her on once and they will qnIckly
find out the boys have no sympathy
for Copperbeads, or traitors; they
are all the same.
We have as good officers as ever
commanded company. Capt. Neal
you will always find with his
boys either in camp or on a march,
and Lieutenants j. L. Williams and
E. E. Ewing you will ever find ready
to help us to anything we need, rea-
dy and willing at all times; there is
no 're1 tape" about them, they are
always looking to the interest of the
boys.
Everything is quiet here now in a
military point of view; but 1 think
there is a good prospect at this time
for things to take change, and
there will be something 'did'' in this
department There are a few "gray
hacks" coming in now and then to
take the oath. They say "we want
to go to Ohio State so we can get
something to eat and wear, for JEFF.

The first question they will ask
you is, shave you any ofUncle Abe's

part of tie country can purchase a
wife for a pound of coffee and not

EDS. CoM.--The late butchery at
Fort Pillow by Forrest, seems to
have filled the community with in
|dignation and surprise, To those
in the front OF our armies who know
Forrest, there7is nothing at all aston
ishing in his conduct at Fort Pillow.
Il know that-this very much respec-
ted Confederate hero has upon for
mier occasion. condescended to. be-
come his own executioner. To show
the style of man JEFF. Davis and the

1 will relate the following which was
stated to me last summer by a rebel
citizen of Middle Tennessee, man
Of high standing in his Community,
who had it from his nephew, an Off
Ger serving under Forrest. About the

ling, the troops were surrendered
A mulatto man, who was a servant
of one of the officers of the Union
forces, was brought to Forrest on
horseback. The latter inquired of
him, with many oaths, "what he was
doing there" The mulatto answer
ed that he was free man, and came
out as servant to an officer-nam-
ing the officer. Forrest, who was on
horseback, deliberately put his hand
to his holster, drew his pistol, and
blew the mans brains out. The
rebel officer stated that the mulatto
man came from Pennsylvania, and
the same officer denounced the act
as one of cold -blooded murder, and
declared he would never again serve
under Forrest. This murdered man
was not a soldier, and indeed, the
Occurrence took place before the
United States Government determin-
ed to arm negroes. OF the truth of
this there is not the shadow of a
doubt, and it can be established any
day by living witnesses.

LETTING THE DEMOCRATIC CAT OUT.
A couple of prominent Democrats,
one of them a member of Congress.
were talking about the late speech OF
Mr.. Long Yesterday, and discussing
the effect it would have on the ap-
preaching election. Said the Con-
gresham, "Long was great fool to
talk about recognition until etter The
election. When we have elected our
men it will be time enough to take
that question into consideration. =
l mention this, knowing it to be true
and regarding it as expressive Of the
real intentions of the Democratic
leaders in the Presidential contest -
They mean to preach Union and war,
knowing that they can hope for sue
cess on no other platform, but once
in power they will betray the conf
dence of the people and consent to a
disrupture of the Government. Sure

cognition sentiments expressed by

rupted him (Cox) and said he had
authorized no such disavowal. /

deem good authority, that the only
gentlemen from Ohio who endorsed

who were unwilling to repudiate his
speech-were Pendleton and Chiffon
