CAMP OF THE 49TH Pa. Vols.
January 8, 1868.


Friend Gozette Permit me once
more to greet you with a line through
your columns, and to let the citizens
Of little Mitfiin know how we boys are
getting along down here in Dixey.
We are still encamped on the south
bank OF the Rappahannock, or rather
the Hazel river, one Of it's tributaries.
The Rappahannock is formed by a
junction of the Hazel and Hedgman
rlvers-the latter having it's course by
the White Sulphur Springs, noted as
the resort of the Aristocracy of not
only the South but of the North also,
previous to the rebellion But what a
change has taken place at that beauti-
ful spot, once the scenes of merriment
and wealth? war has laid a heavy
hand on those once beautiful buildings.
the torch having been applied and all
consumed, and now nothing remains
save the huge pillars and charred
walls. But the SPRINGS will ever re-
main to mark the place.
The land here is hilly, and about
three-fourths wood; the timber is prin-
cipalIy oak, hickory and yellow pine !;
the land is of good quality, and would
yield pIentifulIy if properly titled. But
the Virginia farmers are far behind the
age in the art of farmi G, which goes
to prove that slave labor is great i'm
pediment to the industry and science
Of nation; and | trust the authorities
at Washington are pursuing the prop
er course for a speedy determination
of it.
We have had marching orders for
three days, that is, two divisions of the
9th corps, and by the intelligence We
can get it appears that the rebel Gen
Earl y was moving up the Shenandoah
Valley with division of infantry and
the cavalry commands Of Imboden and
Jones, for the purpose of r aking a
dash on the Baltimore and Ohio r. r =,
and from what | can learn we were to
cross the Blue Ridge and intercept
him; but owing to the inclemency Of
the weather and the bad condition Of
the roads, | think we will not get off.
and that the rebel will be forced to re-
linquish his plans, at least for the pres
ent. The weather has been pretty
cold for some time with two inches Of
snow, and las the appearance of an
other fall Of some kind.
ROMEO.
