Government, as regiment, was at Baltimore,
Nd We arrived at this city on Sunday the

more and Co. K. to TT. Dix, near the Relay
House, the remainder of the Regiment was sen'
to Ft. McIIenry- On Monday morning following
Co. G. e. and l. were detached. B. and |. were
sent to Annapolis, Nd, and Co. to Whining
ton Delaware, thus leaving but five companies
in our command at the Fort, where we remained
doing guard duty, until the following Wednes
dav, when we were ordered to the Relay Bar
racks, to report to Brigadicr Gen. L. B. Tyler
Commanding the lst Brigade Middle depart
ment We arrived here about one O'Clock, o
the same day when we took up our quarters
and expect to remain for the balance of our term
Of service Relay Barracks, being only few
rods from TT, Dix brings Co. X. within oul
Command so that, we have six companies tc
gcther and the prospects are, that the othe'
four companies, will be ordered here ere long
The Boys are well as q general thing, and IL
fine spirits, and say, they would have no objec
tieus in trying their metal before the enemy =
Our camp is delightfully."- situated on the wes
side of die Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, few
rods north of the Relay House, covering beau
tifI spot Of ground, gently sloping to the ves
warl, upon which grows large Chestnut, Oak
Ceder, Pine and other trees, affording delight
full shade over the entire camp, We have plcn
ty ofthe substsntials to eat, and as for luxures
IS all it requires to obtain these in abundance, i
few ereenbacks.. / had green peas for dinner
twice last week and Strawberries once, ,,..
noticed, by letters received by the boy
from Upper sandusky, thotrsports have reached
them, THAT Col Hunt bartered away two of his
Companies for the sake ofobtaining the position
OF Colonel., reports are without foundation
the Colonels actions in the Consolidation of oul
Regiment were honorable to the letter know
that lie made no sacrifice Of his Command 70
the position 1 think the report must have beer
created by some gentleman, whose patriotism
ooxed out, when he got to Columbus and foun.
that he was srequirad to take an oath, to serve hi
Country for one hundred days. in what eve
State or States, he might be ordered.
