CAMP NEAR HARRIsoNS LANDING, [
VA, May 10th, 1864.
DEAR PARENTs,-lt is with pleasure
that l take my pen to write you, that
you may know that l am all right get.
The reason of my delay in writing is
we have been where mail could neither
90 nor come, so of course it was useless
to write. hope we shall not have any
more such times. Probably you have
seen in the papers what great things the
cavalry corps has done during the last
week, if not you will. We have done
some great things and some grea: fight
ing. We nave been surrounded and
broke through twice, still kept advancing
on Richmond, got most to where we
went with Gen. Fitzpatrick and ran
against a shot of grape and canister, then
a torpedo, then cold lead and all these
pleasant things.
While we were amused with all this
in front, we heard boom, boom in the
rear, then the ball was open all around
the room, and was kept up till about two
o'clock, when we made a heavy and des-
perate charge, and broke through once
more. We were glad set of boys when
this was over, and two days after we
reached the cover of our gunboats which
threw shells at us for one or two hours
but they found we were not going to run
for them, they ceased firing and began to
look around and found out who it was,
then we were all right.
We re,captured $50 Union prisoners,
took 200 rebels and z pieces of artillery
and brought them into our lines. We
also captured trains Of cars, days ra-
tons of Lees army and burned them,
engines and all.
Our loss in doing this is not known ye'.
Geo. Nimblet is wounded in the foot and
A. Bean in the wrist slightly. / could
write six times as much if time would
allow, but you will get the news in the
papers, so l will close for this time.
Your son,

have already found, and will continue to
find, under the next call, their advantage
in having SO done. 1t is hoped that the
select men of every town in the State
will perceive the importance of increasing
their surplus, if they now have one, and
of at once providing surplus, if they
now have none. Thirty-two towns have
now surplus equal to or exceeding their
probable quotas under call for 100000
men. Those towns will of course contin.
ne to act upon their established policy,
in not allowing their surplus to be alb
sorbed by the call, but provide for fur.
Their surplus for future use. All towns
would do we'll to adopt the same policy,
and place themselves at once in position
in which they will be in no hazard of a
draft.
1t is earnestly enjoined upon the towns,
the selectmen, and all loyal citizens, that
they at once respond to the advice of the
Provost Marshal General, enlist all the
men possible, and furnish them at once
to the Government for present use.
BY order of the Governor.

goods and the men their French wet

After fashion and dress;
And strive to think less
OF what you will buy;
And more, how you'll try
To bear your own share,
In this sorrow and care,
That darkens our nation, once blest,
And fervently pray
That bright peace soon may
Shine on Jamie, and all OF the rest
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1864-06-03
