CAMP BUrTRIoK, NEAR MEMPHIS
July, 18th 1864

Dear Editor
Since my last the 39th has been doing
good service on picket duty, and guarding
rail road trains. After to-day we are to-
have detail of 100 men every day and eve
ry other day detail of two hundred from
our regiment; this is drawing upon us quite
heavily and our boys know it, yet the most
of them when they are well prefer to be on
picket rather than do police duty around
camp. By order of Gen. Washburne our brl-
gade has been changed and now Col. Buttrlck
has command over the 39th aud 4lst Wis,
10th Iowa & the 18th Wis. battery all constl-
tuting the 4th brigade. They are all doing
hard work for ''Uncle Sam" That is what
they came for and they ali seem to be will
ing if they can be instrumental i'll the noble
cause of ending this cursed rebellion. When
we cast eur memories back to the times
when peace and plenty were at every hearth
stone, and all European powers gazed at US
as the beacon star in the armament OF ma
tions and the ''star spangled banner unturl-
ed her broad and beautiful colors over all our
soil respected and loved by all powers; when
we glance at these prosperous times and
contrast them with what now exists we
shudder to see how rapid so powerful ma
ton has changed frompeace to ao0r and blood
We cry. cursed be they who caused this
gigantic eruption! Damned be the traitors
who were the cause of so many thousand
deaths, and who insulted our noble ensign !;
spit upon the stars and stripes and trampled
the American Eagle beneath their feet; pun
ish them we have, and whip them we will,
let it cost what it may We don't like these
''rebs very much and are angry to think
that we are compelled to guard the resi-
dences of these traitors. We are mild and
gentle to them; handle them as if we were
afraid of hurting them in fact we are fat
ting up some of these fellows, the better
(when opportunity presents itselDto destroy
our noble fabric, or at least make greater
effort.
Our boys are in good spirits although
there are quite number sick, some Is this
morning in Camp Hospital; none of them
dangerous Col. Butrick's wife is our prin
cipaI nurse, almost. She makes her daily
visit to the hospital, brings every thing she
thinks will do for the boys to have, remains
with them about three hours each day, bathes
their heads, keeps the flies of, and speaks to
them in that kind and sympatbizing man
ner which does nearly as much good as med
icine. She is noble specimen Of Woman,
and there is not man in our regiment who
will forget her, and her kindness towards
the sick. She appears to be happy while
doing good.
The prospects are now that we shall re-
main here until our term is out, no doubt
but we can do as much good here as any
where. Your papers came to hand yester-
day dated the 7th and company c. all
| jumped to see the welcome visitor. 1t is a
great treat for US and we hope you will not
forget to send US a copy every week with
out fail and occasionally we viii let you hear
from us.
Yours truly, Q.

Great Steamboat COnflagratiOn at st. Louis.

ST. Louis, July Is.
One of the most destructive steamboat
fires that has occurred here for several years
took place between and o'clock this
morning, resulting i'll the destruction Of the
Steamers Welcome, Sunshine, Glasgow,
Cherokee, F. Dix, and Northerner.
The origin Of the fire is not yet known,
and it is difficult to determine whether it
was accidental or the work of an incendiary.
There was large number of boats at the
levee which were saved from destruction by
the fortunate unoccupied space of some
three hundred feet above the Northerner
and below the Welcome, thus combining the
fire to the boats herein mentioned. The
Dix was three months old, valued at $50, :
900; insured for $22, 500 in st. Louis offices.
She was owned by Prather, Thorwegan &
Bowen. She was undergoing repairs, and
had no freight aboard. The Cherokee was
new stern wheel boat, just arrived from
Pittsburgh with miscellaneous cargo, most
of which was destroyed. She was worth
about $4,000, owned by Captain Dravet,
and doubtless insured, The Welcome was
owned by Captain Copelin, was valued at
$50, 900, and insured in st. Louis offices for
$50, 900. She had eighty-one tons Of Gov
eminent stores on board for Fort Randall
nineteen tons of Indian goods for Winebago
agency, and 275 tons of private freight for
points on the Missouri river, all of which is
a total loss The Glasgow was valued at
$50, 900, owned by Carter & Conn, Capt.
Lamathe, Theodore Laville, and A., IL.
Smith & Co., and insured for $41, 900 in st.
Louis and Cincinnati. She was undergoing
repairs, and had no freight aboard. The
Sunshine was valued at $65, 600, owned by
Captain Bartabie, G. M. Eleard and four 9TH
er men, and insured for about $40, 600, main
ly in St. Louis offices. She arrived from
the Missouri river on Wednesday, with a
heavy cargo, the greater portion Of which
had been discharged. Three hundred bales
of hemp lying on the levee, part of her
cargo, was burned, together with several
hundred sacks of corn and a considerable
amount of miscellaneous freight. valued at
about 1925, 00O The Northerner belonged
to the Northern Line Packet Company, was
valued at $35, 900, and uninsured. She was
laid up and had no freight on board.
The total loss by the fire cannot fall short
| of half a million. The amount of insurance

The PROPELLER EMPIRE STATE ASHORE
The propeller Empire State, belonging to
the Western Transportation Company's line,
went ashore Monday night, about half a
mile south of Racine Harbor. The boat was
coming from Chicago intending to stop at
this port, and mistook light on he bank Of
the lake for the harbor light Her bows are
in about six feet and half of water, her
stern is clear But little difficulty is antici
pated in getting her off. Lighters have
been at work taking off her cargo and
tug from Milwaukee is in attendance to tow
her off.-Racjne Journal

E9y- 1t is now believed that the rabid raid
ers around Washington and on the Upper
Potomac have succeeded in making their
escape, and that the pursuit has been aban-
doned. We are inclined to the opinion that
the extent of the plumber they are reported
to have secured and carried off is greatly ex-
aggerated, for the reason that horses, cattle
and the like were not as plen ty in the region
in which the rebels operated as these reports
indicate. The repeated raids previously had
taught the residents Whereabouts that proper
ty of this description was very unsafe, and
therefore as little of it as possible was held.
The enemy may have carried off great guam
tity Of provisions, but We do not believe they
secured anything like as many horses and
cattle az reported
