ROME, Ca, Nov. 7th, 1864.
MR. EDITOR During the past week
we have been under marching orders.
| suppose we shall march soon, though
there is report in camp that the or.
der is counter-manded. / think it
is about as correct as the one which
stated that the Seventh was captured
by Hood.
We know nothing definite of our
destination in the coming campaign.
We are under orders to prepare for a
sixty days campaign. Nobody below
a Major General is allowed to know
the programme, but it is generally con.
jectured that large force will soon
go for Savannah, ria Augusta and Mil
ledgeville. 80
The weather is warm, with rain.
We shall no doubt have bad weather
much of the time. The boys are all
in the best of spirits. .E.
We are all waiting very anxiously
for the result of to-morrow's election,
for we think it is in a great measure
to decide the fate of our Nation. 1t
surely is to decide whether the people
are as when VIC left honey for Lib
erty or whether they arc now viii.

The one with the "olive branch" and
the other with the "tyrant's sccptre"
Company B will go unanimously for
Old Abe and Liberty, and You can,
with but few exceptions, say the same
of soldiers in general. The question
now is, whether, if Abe and Andy arc
elected, there will be any possibility OF
the rebels holding out much longer

getting help from their coaoardiy North

Thanksgiving, the great holiday of
New England, will be generally OBJ
served on this day, not only in the
Eastern but throughout all the loyal
States. The President, in his Procla-
nation, desires all his fellow citizens,
wherever they may be, to celebrate
this day and offer up grateful thanks
to Almighty God for the inestimable
blessings and favors vouchsafed to
them and similar Proclamations have
been issued by the Governors of vari-
Gus States. including one from the
Governor of Iowa, received too late
for publication last week.
Surely, never a people had such
great cause for thankfulness as the
loyal people of this Union. We still
have country and Government,
despite the Vaccinations of evil-mind-
ed men-a Government that rewards
we'll doing and Furnishes crime-that
protects the innocent and patriotic,
and arrests and chastises the vicious
and disloyal. We need be thankful
that no prevailing disease has desola-
ted our homes-that our agriculturists
are blessed with abundant harvests-
that nearly all kinds of business are
in high state of prosperity.
Looking to the great rebellion. in
augurated in the interest of human
slavery, We may rejoice in the many
signal victories that have crowned
our arms during the past year, the
strong probability of a speedy cessa.
