Notwithstanding the severity of the
weather, and the poor convepiences for
travelling by stage, where there is al
ways "room for one more" we man
aged to keep tolerably comfortable by
getting ont and marching on double

at Cedar Falls short time after dark
and camped for the night. When we
first arrived there seemed to be a fair
prospect for camping out, which we did
not much fancy in that latitude but
by little extra exertion the landlord
managed to accommodate as all with
a bed. Do you ask, did you all sleep
in one bed Z" | answer, No, only about
twenty of US Some of the company
put up at a different house. You will
readily judge that the most of us were
heartily glad to lie Gown in any place
that night.
On the morning Of the 10th we were
all up bright and early, and as we sup
posed all went on board the cars, but
we soon ascertained that two or three
of our number were missing Proba-
bly, laid abed too late ! The effect will
DO that they will need few moro
greenbacks than they would if they
had come with the company. We ar
rived at Dubuque about two o'clock
P. NJ, and although we stopped in that
city but short time, we thought We
could plainly see coPperhsadism in tho
countenance of more than one individ-
ual. Perhaps we judged rashly, for
most of the blue-coats with whom I
have talked have poor opinion Of
that county. 1t may be wrong opin-
ion, but somehow or other, we don't
see as many smiling faces there as We
do further north. The most Of the boys
say they can tell a traitor wherever
they meet him, and they don't like nor
thern traitors any better than southern
ones. Although we went very slow
from Cedar Falls to Dubuque, when we
started from Dunleith We made up lost
time and were soon in Freeport, where
we were informed that We should stop

death bed he became alarmed as to
his future, and asked for a minister.
When the aged pastor came he knelt
down by the dying man and prayed
as follows:

snakes we thank thee for sending a
snake to bite Jim Beaver, and o
Lord. we pray that thou wouldst send
a snake to bite Bill Beaver; and we
pray thee to send the biggest kind Of

nothing but rattle snakes will ever

LETTER FROM VICKSBURG,
HEADQUARTERS 11TH ARMY CoRPs, !
Ainl ShI,rrr EnL 1Qtl. 1874


DEAR HiLDRErH There has been
but very little news from the great
Expedition, that may be considered
reliable. Various reports are in cir
culation, but l have always found
that street rumors are very cheap.
One rumor is, that Major Gen. Sher-
man was riding at the head Of the
the scouting column, when a few guer.
illas suddenly rushed out and gcbbled
him.
There is no communication open
with the army, as they did not care
to keep any. They have an abun-
dance of provision with what they
will obtain from the country through
which they pass. The weather has
been so beautiful and the roads so
good they can easily reach Meridian
three days sooner than they anticipa-
ted 1t depends great deal upon
time, about the damage they will be
able to do, as the rebels will concen.
trate heavy force at Meridian if
rapid move is not made. However it
would take a very large force to beat
back the force Gen. Sherman has with
him.
As soon as our army passed through
Jackson, the rebel cavalry under Col.
Adams entered the town, and Adams
threatened to take supper in town on
Sunday, l4th. Perhaps he will, and
perhaps he won't. "This last is the
most sensible perhaps" When the
army marched out upon the old battle
ground they found Corby's Brigade
waiting there. The rebels soon found
it too hot for their safety and they
took French leave. Our loss was 81
killed and 81 wounded. Lieut.. Col.
VIM. L. Clark, Assistant Adjutant
General of this Corps, had his horse
shot under him and was himself slight
ly wounded The Colonel is brave,
even too brave for his own good, and
Whenever there is a chance for a fight
he usually goes in.
1t is also reported that the notori
Gus John Morgan is advancing upon
this city I" / can't see it,"
The Expedition has been gone

twenty when they went forth. A few
days ago a detachment from the 4th
Miss. of A. ID. went foraging up the
river to Columbus Landing. Shortly
before they made the point the most
Of the force landed to march across.
A party of rebel cavalry stationed
near at hand fired upon the boat, and
in return received such volley from
the astonished darkies, that they
thought school was out for all day
and they broke and run like aquartel
horse.
The conduct Of the blacks was splen
