LETTER FROM THE s2ND OWL

MEMPHIS, April 26th, 1854
Dear JourIodl:-At last, we have arrived at
Memphis, and are encamped on our old camp
ing ground few rods from our old position.-
We have the most pleasant camp we have had
since we have been in the service. Our tents
are pitched in an orchard of apple trees-the
tents under the trees, and streets between the
being strictly enforced. Our streets and tents
must be policed every morning. There was ap-
parently as much joy felt at our return-and
certainly as loud and boisterous expressions of
pleasures was displayed when we arrived at
home We were met at the landing by some of
the boys who did not go home with us.
We had rather an unpleasant trip from Padu-
cab down. We went on board the General A1a-
derson soon after noon on the 22d, indications
promising fair weather, but when we arrived at
Mound City it had commenced raining We
arrived at Cairo about o clock, where we were
Joined by our new recruits, and at late hour
were transferred to the new andsplendid steam
er Alice Dean, which being very fast boat Ian
ded us at Memphis soon after o clock, the 23d,
the fastest time we ever made on the river
We marched to our camping ground, arriving
about dark Our tents did not arrive until af-
ter dark. We had no wood and the night prom
ised to be stormy. The 95th O.V. /, furnished
US with enough to make fires for the night and
also invited us to come over to their camp and
occupy the quarters of their men who were ON
picket Their invitation was gladly accepted
and many of us were thus provided with good
quarters who would have otherwise had rather
rough beds.
We were all glad to get back to this our al
most home. Our new officers and promoted
ones have mostly assumed their position, and
we are in nearly complete working condition.
again. We were obliged to leave one or two
men sick at Paducah, and one or two in Hospit-
al here otherwise the health of the Regiment
is excellent. As ever yours, HARDWOOD.

BrownIew on NIatters and Things.

At a Convention at Knoxville, Tenn, lately
Parson Brownlow held forth in this wise:
SLAVERY PLoUeHINe WITH NORTHERN HELPERS.
aIsay that for more than eighty years slavery
has ruled this government and that for more
than three years, because it could no longerrule,
it has sought, with fire and sword, and theassas-
sins knife, and the dungeon, and the rack, and
the stake, and every device that hell could sug-
gest, to rule this government. Since the found
alton OF this government there have been nine
teen Presidents. OF these the South have had
thirteen. The North had, in all, but six, and of
these six we kidnapped three, and ploughed
with them our cotton fields, as we plough with
bulls and heifers. We have had most of the
foreign appointments, and the hind teats of the
federal kline at home; and these things we had
when we were not able to pay our postal expense
to the general government. And why? We
did not solicit these things-we demanded them
In the name of our superior manhood, or peeu-
liar institutions, our high-toned chivalry we de-
manded them.

boots, and kicked the wretched Pennsylvania

THE Niger Is AN ITENERANT.
"We of the South have intended this rebellion
for more than thirty years. South Carolina
and two or more cotton States have never been
republican, and never had a republican govern
ernment South Carolina would have seeded
in Jackson's time but the old hero took Calhoun
by the throat and choked him down. And this
choking is remedy that ought to have been
resorted to in the Congress of the United States

tuition of the United States, We're in secret eau

And still you cling to slavery. Well, so be it.

to be local institution among us, but now he
is what we methodists call an itenerant.
SEPARATION AND REPR EsENTATIoN.
"You used to cry out separation, and you got
it; you have it to-day to your hearts content.
You are separated from your sons, some of you,
and from your farms and houses, your fence rails,
your mules and horses. You used 10 cry out
representation, and you got it. You are repre-
sented in every rebel army of South, in every
bastile in the North, and you have more repre-
sentatives in hell than any other set of men be-
tween heaven and hell"

Letters from the army say that the sol
diers are delighted in the result of the con-
test for the sword at the Metropolitan Fair.
They expected that in such a city as New
York the candidate of the copperheads
would be far ahead, but when it became
known that their own live General was
the successful competitor, they were high
ly reioiced.

Martin Smith was executed to-day in Fort
Pickering, for the crime of smuggling per-
cussion caps to the enemy, and violating
his oath of allegiance. He stated at the
gallows that he was guilty, and that his
sentence was just. Two other men are
now in Cairo Prison for the same crime,
and will probably suffer the same penalty.

Abraham LincOln-Wbat the Rebels Think OF

his Reelection.
Mr.. EDIToR:-A few days ago fell in
company with prominent rebel citizen OF
Chattanooga county, GA.
The conversation turned upon the prob
abilities of Lincoln's reelection to the Pres
idency of the United States; whereupon
he remarked with considerably warmth:
eff Lincoln is reelected we may Just as
well give up the game, for We can in that
case have no hope of gaining our indepen-
dence. We have been trying to keep up
appearances with the hope that the peace
men of the United States would be able to
carry the election. Our all is staked up
on the issue; for it is an absolute impossi-
bility for us to hold out another four years.
God grant that our fears be not realized.
For my own part, L would rather see the
sun plucked from the orbit than to see old
Abe reelected. If we have to return to
the hated Union, would rather submit to
any other man than Lincoln"
Thus it appears that the rebels are await
ing the tissue" with faint hope that the
good people of the United States will be
foolish enough to elect Copperhead to
the Presidency Chattanooga Gazette.

The 5Oth Resimeut National Guard.

The 50th Regiment N ational Guard, in obe-
dience to the call of Gov Brough, promptly
mustered here to the number of 600 men ON
Monday last, notwithstanding the storm and
rain. This act speaks well for their patriotism
and willingness to conform TO the requirements
and necessities of the country, although they
could not have been called out at more unpro-
piticus time of the year. Most of them have
left their farms Just at the time when their la
Dor was most needed, and the farming interest
must necessarily greatly suffer thereby. But
those left at home must be the more dilligent
and active, and endeavor TO make up for what
is thus lost The 5Oth are fine body of men,
and will undoubtedly make efficient and trusty
soldiers. Below we publish list of the Reg
imental and Company officers, and will gladly

SEPARATION AND REPR OBSERVATION
Soldiers Pay.

Senator Fessenden rebuked the dema-
gogues in Congress who are proposing to
pay the soldiers in coin, very handsomely.
He said:
"Let me say to my honorable friends
who act with me in this body that, with
all respect and all proper humility, coun-
sci them not to be frightened when the
question of soldiers pay is concerned; let
not their hearts beat so as to beat the but
tons off their jackets. Meet this question
like statesmen. The soldiers in the field
are men as we are, and many of them bet
ter men than we are. They understand
these questions, and they understand the
motive of all these things Sir, if there is
a set of men in the world who have been
treated well, have been treated as well as
men could be, watched over with kindness
and care and no expense spared to make
them comfortable, although in the nature
of things that care must sometimes fail, it
is the soldiers in the employ ofthe govern
ment of the United States who are fight
ing its battles. Take the soldiers from my
own State; they are paid certain sum
per month; they get all the articles nee
cessary for their own individual support
without expense to themselves; the rise of
prices does not effect them; they are sup
ported in the field with all that is necces-
sary to support life, at the expense of the
government; they pay nothing for the food
that they eat large proportion of them
have no families at home; they are young
men, almost boys; and in regard to those
who have families, / suppose it is the case
in Indiana as it is in Maine-and presume
it to be so in every State in the Union
no soldiers family is permitted to suffer if
their condition is known, but they elook-
ed to and cared for. And now this cry
about raising the pay of soldiers, without
consideration, without study, without care,
and from gentlemen, too, who are denounc-
ing every day this government as on the
eve of bankruptcy and unable to support
itself and to meet the acquisitions upon it,
comes with a singular air."
