.MEssRs. EDfroRs ON Tuesday last the
left wing of the s42d Wiseopsih regiment,
composed of Companies B, G, K, E and ii
under command Of Major Blake, was ordered
from Cairo TO this place, where we arrived on
wednesday, night. The next day Company
was ordered into the city of Springfield
to do Provost duty. Capt Chase of that
Company was appointed Provost Marshal of
that place. Company @, Capt. Porter, left
on the same evening for Marshall, ILL.,, on the
borders Of Indiana, to do some kind of duty
there. The remaining three Companies, E,
I'll 4 X, under command of Capt. Aug. Haight,
of Company f, remain at this place doing
guard and garrison duty. E
Camp Butler is large and heathily locat-
ed camp, but it is very dirty and filthy. In
point of cleanliness it will in no way COM
pare with any of the Wisconsin camps 1t
is about five or six miles from the city of
Springfield, in an easterly direction, and near
the SangamOn river. Large numbers of troops
are daily arriving at this camp-some to be
mustered out of the service after their three
years of fighting, suffering and hardship -
Their war-worn forms and tattered clothes
tell too well how they have served their cOun-
try. Others are arriving to don the blue at
the forcible invitation of Uncle Abe to " fall
in" There are about Z, 900 of those " draft
ed-into-the-army" fellows in camp here now
They are being sent to the front as fast as
they can be gotten off.
The AZ regiment boys are causing quite
change in the appearance of the Camp and
the barracks by scrubbing and sweeping up.
Our commanding officer, Captain Haight,
keeps the boys ''up and doing" He has the
right kind of "snap" about him to make
good officer. He is well liked by all his CON-
mand.
Major Blake IS detached on duty in Spring
field at the headquarters of General Cook,
commandant of this District or Department.
Lieut.. r. III. Henry of Co. II, is Acting Ad
jutant, better boy or better officer than
whom was never seen.
DIR. Clement, LIST Assistant Surgeon, is with
US. The comforts and wants of the sick are
well and faithfully looked after by him. r
Our ever. ready Sergeant Major, Wn. NJ.
Fogo, is with US also; always ready to do his
duty, and eat his regular allowance of ''hard
tack"
Companies E, II and K are under command
of their respective, officers, as follows: E,
Lieut.. Low; II, Capt. Parker; X, Lieut..
Rich. 11Eh aGTEg
The remainder of the regiment still re-
mains at Cairo. There is no knowing when
the regiment will get together again. 1t is
supposed we will remain here at least all
winter.
We are near the home of cold Abe"
Whether that will have any impression on the
boys in stimulating them to east their votes
for him or not, one thing is sure, anyhow, he
will get 700 majority in this regiment. e

MARTNsBURG, Va, Oct. "a, 1864.
MEssRs. EDToRs: Contrary, no doubt, to
the expectation of the many readers of your
paper who may be interested in the 9Th Wis
consin regiment, this date finds us at this
place.
The portion of the regiment that left the
State three weeks since, after receiving their
arms, have been,-doing duty in. guarding
trains, &C., at and near Washington and Al
exandria. They came here three or four
days since, on their way to the front. We
are now distant % miles from Winchester
where we expect to find the other companies
of veterans. 1t is supposed we are to leave
here tome row. This is in accordance with
the wish both of officers and men. Guarding
mule trains, to and from the front, our duty
shpuid we stay rhere,yis not the york for the
Colonel or men OF the noble STR The Col
onel is represented to have said on yester-
day, when ordered to send a portion of the
men on such a mission = General, this is
new work for the 9TH Wisconsin" To which
the General smilipgly replied, az know the
old 9Th is used to harder work" s.
When once at Winchester we may remain
sometime, as am told the other companies
are doing provost guard duty. The future,
however, none can read for a single hour
ahead.
Although not as yet active participants, we
have been permitted to gaze upon some OF
the actual scenes of war; We arrived here
but day or two after Sheridan's great vic
tory. On yesterday and the day preceding,
a part of the wounded and prisoners were
brought into the town, about twelve hundred
of each. The place is about % miles dis
tant from the battle-field, and these wounded
men were brought over this long road, the
worst wounded in ambulances, the remaining
part in army wagons. MANY of them were
"a hours in these conveyances, and without
Refreshments save once or twice during this
time. The fortitude with which they bear
up under their spfferings is truly wonderful ;
the greater part seem to be great extent
oblivious of themselves, but are full of praise
for Gen. Sheridan, and exultation at the
thought that the "rebs got the worst of the
bargain" In all the fighting in this valley,
am told there never was a greater number
of wounded brought into this town; every

We halted for the night near Big Shanty.
having passed through Marietta, our lines
around Kenesaw, and tha ground fought over
by US in June.
Three companies of our regiment were sent
to build railroad, on the 10th inst, and at
night our corps marched to Ackworth, reach
ing it about 4 O'Clock in the morning After
srestiig and brkakfasting, we again. started
forward, camping one mile from Gainesville
that night, passing through Allatoona, and
past miles of damaged railroad, andia lonely
locomotive resting on its side, itsSbell alone
responsive TO the curiosity of the sinquisitive
crowd. w
we marched through CassvilIe and. King
ston, and passed the night of the 18th inst
halfway between the latter place and Rome,
sreceiving large quantity of mail Just sent
down from Chattanooga, where it had been
collecting for weeks. During this day and
the next our kforces had heavy skirmishes
with the rebels near Rome, taking two guns
and many prisoners. ~
Toward night of the 18th our army again
began to move, crossing the country toward
Adairsville, on the Chattanooga Il Atlanta
Railroad, over a rough, stony and swampy
tract, toiling for many hours in the arduous
attempt, rendered doubly so by dense woods
and a cloudy sky. At this place our regi-
ment was detailed as guard for our wagon
train, and left here on the 18th inst. in charge
thereof, passing through Calhoun and reach
ing Resaca about 11:30 p. -
On the 10th inst. we marched through
Snake Greek Gap, Villanow, city of one
church and several trees, going into camp
about midnight, having marched some Is
miles. We rejoined our brigade on the 18th
inst, laid in camp until $50 P. NJ, and then

Devils Pass, place not very appropriately
named, and passed the rest of the night in
the woods close by
= AT 7:30 ON the morning of the 18th we
pulled out, and soon reached the neighbor-
hood of Lafayette; turning to the left we
marched down the valley, the boys finding
plenty of sorghum to chew and few porkers
to eat. We crossed several ridges during
the day, and having marched Is miles, camp
ed on Chattooga creek, where sweet potatoes
most abound, and on which the boys gaily
feasted.) 81 &c S.
Ne6t day we passed through Somervile
and ALPINE, 10 miles further on; crossing
another ridge and going down the valley and
through the village of Shinbone on the Goth,
camping near large sorghum patch, which
speedily disappeared under the knives and
teeth of the hungry soldiers, and on the 2lst
we moved to our present location. -
An order was sent round this morning that
all the non-veterans of the Army of the Ten
nessee whose term of service expired before
the 18th of November should return at once
to Chattanooga, to be regularly mustered out.
Col Bryant, Captains Stevens and Bennett,
Lieut.. Blackman and some SO men of the old
18th at once prepared to leave, and started
on the bacE-track at dark.
When the forces will move, or in what di-
rection, is not for me to say at present.
Yours truly, &C. W.,

BrainWOFk and Longevity.

The philosophers ought to have length of
days for their portion, seeing how their pur-
suits ought to elevate them above the distur-
dances of life. And such is, i'll fact, the OPP
Grafton Of life, by which their faculties are
furnished with constant entertainments on
subjects which would seem to lie outside the
range of uneasy passions, while creating or
exciting the noblest moral emotion. And an
unusual amount of healthy longevity. is, in
fact, found among NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
mathematicians, naturalists, or speculative
students. Such things have. been heard of
as strife in these serene fields of thought !;
such sights have been seen as faces furrOwed
with fretfnlness, or working with passion; but
the old age of many philosophers is, at this
moment, an honor to their vocation. Peter
Barlow was, when he lately died at 50, the
same Peter Barlow that he had been to two
generations of friends and disciples. Sir
David Brewster is still active and occupied at
the same age. The late Mr.. Tooke did not
puzzle his brain about the currency too much
to be still up to the subject at Sc. Sir Rod
erick Murehison is past 30 and so is Sir j.
Herschel Literature ought to have the same
operation as sciences; but it seems to have
more room for agitations and anxieties, ex-
cept in the case of authors who live in and
with their works, exempt from seH-regard
Jacob Grimm was very perfect example of
the philosophic serenity which literary ca
reer can yield; and he lived to rs. There is
something remarkable in the longevity of lit
erary women in modern times, even if we
look not beyond our own country. Mrs.
Piozzi and Mrs. Delaney perhaps scarcely
enter within the conditions /; and the still la
mented Jane Austen was under an early
doom from consumption; but Miss Edge

GRANTS LAST MovEMEsT-The Worlds Po-
tomac special says of the recent operations
in Virginia, considering the extent of the
movements and the number of men engaged,
there was very little fighting. No cannon
were used by either side till at the time of
the formation of our line of battle, when we
placed several batteries in position for the
purpose of Smelling the woods which still in
tervened. The reason none had been used
previously was that the woods were so extern
sive and dense as to render it almost impos-
sible. After our batteries opened, the rebels
were not long in replying, but poured in grape,
canister and shells quite freely along nearly
the entire front between our skirmish line
and the enemy. There was also severe fight
ing as the former entered the woods which
separated them. The opposing armies only
maintained their lines The loss will not be
very heavy on either side. The result of the
movement has been to drive tie rebels from a
district eight miles lang BIZ three aoide, large
portion of which is thickly wooded, into
breastworks, along our front, almost, if not
quite, as strong as those in front of Peters
burg. sh-

! The Times correspo ndent with Buffers ar
my thus details how two of our brigades fell
into a rebel trap on Thursday last: When
Gen. Weitzel reached the Williamsburg road
he found wide open space and disconnected
redoubts on either side of the highway The
place seemed favorable for a demonstration,
and the works seemed only feebly manned,
the enemy using but one gun in a redoubt to
the right of the road. Gen. Weitzel deemed
it advisable to essay the capture of these
works, andlsent into the assault Cullom's and
Fairehild's brigades. The. troops advanced
gallaptly with cheer to within few hundred
yards of the works on the right, when sud
denly the other work opened deadly cross
fire of grape and schrapnel, and our troops
were in a trap from which there was little
chance of escaping. The majority of both
brigades were made prisoners.
The last advices government had from
Sherman were to the effect that he should
hold Atlanta in spite of any attempt of the
rebels to dislodge him.

Mr.. Hawley, of the captured steamer Ro-
a,seke, in statement of the affair, says the
steamer was boarded in Havana harbor by
three boats containing passengers, who, in
the evening proved themselves to be rebels
in disguise, led. by Lieut.. Braine. The Off
GERS and crew were overpowered and made
prisoners and the vessel headed for Bermuda,
where pilot was called on board. Braine
went ashore and, brought aboard party of
rebels, and the vessel put to sea, soon over
haulinga brig with coal and provisions for
the pirates. These were taken aboard, and
the next day vessel was met, which was to
take off passengers. The transfer was made,
together with quantity of cotton, and the
steamer set on fire. The passengers and
crew weret aiken into Five Fathom Hole"
and the purser and first officer went ashore
to have tine pirates. arrested. They were ar
rested, but after a mock trial discharged.
The Roanoke had on board $1,000 in green
backs and 81, 900 in gold. The report that
Capt. Drew had notice of plot to capture
his vessel, is unfounded.
