Doctor called a second time, bringing with

Ma. EDITOR: Several months have

reason. l knew your paper was much
crowded with matter much more impor-
tant and interesting than anything coald

the banner Of Liberty proudly unfnrled to

for those of my friends at home who read
your paper and have desire TO hear from
the 73d occasionally. The health of our
Reg't., as far as know, is good. with but
few exceptions. The boys appear to lie in
excellent spirits since the election, and
are anxiously looking forward to the early
dawn of peace and prosperity. Some OF
Us were much disappointed in not getting
home to the election. but as honest old
Abe and Andy are elected it is all right.
and we will cheerfully toll on 9 months

will end before that timc). to save our
bleeding county. ! am glad and thankful
to God for the defeat of the Copperhead
party of the North, with that traitorous
little Mac as their leader. While our
soldiers are freely offering their lives to
subdue traitors in the rebelious States, it
is as little as We can expect of those at
home, to defeat their meaner allies Of the
North. In common with large portion
OF he loyal people Of the North, as we'll as
with many Of our army and navy, l have
long considered that treachery was the So
luton OF our many mysterious delays,
losses and defeats. under the infamous
traitor Geo. 3. Mcclellan; that the charge
of cowarlice and incapacity has not been
made against Mcclellan by intelligent
traitors, from truthful conviction, but to
hide their kno xledge of the fact that he was
one Of their own sworn number, and that
he had the qualities of courage and capaci-
ity 10 destroy an army and government in

ed. and in the light of treaon, the course
OF Mac is being reviewed. And while his
character is being reviewed by the proper
authorities, it is my opinion Mac Aimsfy
will keep his humble distance behind the
darkness Of the veil; aud every patriot that
thoroughly Investigates his course and
keeps in view his associates and treason

alone has solved many mysteries. Little
Mac is politically dead in the eyes of the
soldiers and l invite the Copperheads Of
