BRANDY STATION, VA,
March 18th, 1864. 4
Mr.. Editor address you a few lines,
thinking thus best to content myself, this
wafm, beautiful Sabbath morning, and perhaps
interest the Folks at Home" few minutes
All seem to be enjoying comparative rest and
quiet to-day, though the necessities of'wAr
require some business. The men amusing
themselves, or passing their time variously,
in games common to camp life, n reading,
lounging in the sun, in pleasure excursions,
&c. &c.
This army is kept in q very complete state
OF readiness for an " advance" in any direc-
ton, with ten days rations IN camp and very
little surplus STORES Of ATTY kind in the Quar-
termastor Departmental this Depot. Rumor
says we may look for an early advance Of the
''immorte! army ofthe Potomac" commanded
by 1t. Gen. Grant in person. This do not
credit, but II true, the Gen. will have to look
sharp 70 his iaures" or they may be Of
short duration, like those Of the heroes that
haNesgone before. for he never has had Vir-
gina country to fight in, nor been pitted
against a General of the consummate skill and
shrewdness of Cen Lee. We considered our
selves very fortunate in having good view
OF TIE Hero of Vicksburg as he passed here
last Thursday to Headquarters, where he re-
NAMED one night only, returning the next
day to Washington, accompanied by Gen.
Meade. His photograph likenesses are very
correct, continually smoking, his countenance
having good natured joval cast, locke as
though he would enjoy joke and general
good time. Strongly in contrast with that Of
Gen. Meade, who seems oppressed with care
and anxiety till he looks almost disconsolate.
We are glad TO hear OF the victories Of the
Temperance Army in the " Old Green Noun
tain State Though far down in Dixie"
engaged in combating enemies that seek the
political life Of the Nation, yet we cannot
forget that we are citizens Of Vermont, and
we remember with interest and heartfelt sym
patty, our friends VINO are combating no
less insidous and deadly enemy, that is war
ring upon the moral and social life Of society
at home. And we most heartily congratulate
them, our friends in Montpelier especially,
upon the cheering prospect of entire success
attending the efforts put forth with such una
namity, and overpowering moral force, for the
suppression OF intemperance and the Liquor
traffic in their midst 1t has seemed for a
long time that the citizens Of the Capital owed
it to themselves and to the State, to abandon
and purge out this Objectionable feature of
business from among them.
The business of reorganization Of the army
seems to move slowly, no announcement MS
yet of the programme. Some surmise the APP
pointment of a new commanding General for
the Army of the Potomac" If such change
is made, undoub eddy Gen. Meade will retire
on account of poor health.
Have just heard that the LIST VT. Cavalry
has got as far back as Alexandria, towards
their old camp.
Rev. DR.. Hatfield OF Brooklyn, N. Y.
preached here in the Chapel of the Christian
Commission this afternoon.

For the Journal
WHO SHALL BE OUR NEXT PRESI-

DENT;
The election Of Abraham Lincoln to the
Presidential chair was the pfetext Of Rebel
leaders for revolt. He had been elected by
the free votes Of free people he had been
supported by the intelligence of the cast and
the enterprise of the west he had been rais-
ed to the highest honors in the land by the
highest type of American citizens-thc labor
ing classes of the north. Rebellion, which
had fattened into monstrous size and enor-
nous strength under the fostering care of Blu
chauan, the damned. burst like the demon
of old, through all restraints Of law, exclaim-
ing in loaming wrath I'VE will not have
this man to rule o'or us"
Then was shown one Of the finest examples
Of national grandeur that the world ever saw.
Forgetting all party feelings the whole north
arose with one voice crying He shall rule
the land" The problem was solved. 10y
atty had arrayed itself against treason, the
country was saved.
Nearly three years Of war have passed by
with its thunder showers Of shot and she'll
and grape with its whirlwinds Of cavalry
raids, sweeping over hundreds Of miles, lay
ing waste more territory than half the mon
archs Of Europe possess; with its gloomy
clouds Of defeat and its sunshine Of success,
and still the loyal heart beats the same. The
murmur Of discomfort is heard here and
there, but it is the feeble voice Of cowardice.
Now and then howl comes up from out the
stiffness of night, but it is only the snarl Of
the political assassins who do their work in
the dark. As general thing the nation is
united as it was when FIRST tho people arose
to sustain Abraham Lincoln and to save the
country.
And now that his term Of office is nearly
expired, what is the duty Of the loyal citi-
zen Clear and calmly falls the voice Of rea-
son on The ear and reaches the heart " The
rebellion broke out as the rebels affirm, be-
cause we elected Abraham Lincoln" Nobly
has he proved himself worthy Of the trust.
Disloyalty alone denounces him. So long,
then, as rebellion, vampire like, seeks the life
blood of loyalty, let us sustain the man who
has dealt it such stunning blows, and then
Abraham Lincoln will be our next President
and Universal Freedom will bring back upon
our divided country the blessing Of God and
peace and amity to our homes. DELTA.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

line officer of the second regiment of
North Carolina Union Volunteers sends us a
long letter concerning the execution OF TWEEN
ty-four soldiers Of his corps by the rebels at
kinston, shortly after the attack on Newbern,
from which we take the following extracts
When the attack was made on Newborn
on the I'd of February last, Co. f of the sec
ond Regiment North Carolina Union Volun-
teers was stationed at Beach Grove, the ex-
IRENE outpost from Newbern. When it be-
came evident that the position could not be
held against the overwhelming force of reb-
els, which was rapidly approaching, the men
of this company, having the certainty of an
ignominous death before them if they should
be captured, proposed to the officer in COM
mand to pilot the force at the outpost in safe
ty to Newbern, by paths through the woods
known only to themselves. But unfortunate
ly, they were temporarily in charge of officers
not belonging to their own regiment, who
were ignorant of the blood-thirsty character
of the enemy. or too timid to fight to the
death, if fight were deemed impracticable.-
Had these men been commanded by officers
of their own regiment they all would have
escaped, or, as preferable to their inevitable
doom il taken prisoners, would have found
more honorable dsath on the field. AS it
was, they were sternly forbidden to leave the
ranks, and, without a shot being fred. OF the
stipulation secured that they should be treat
ed as prisoners Of war, they were surrender
ed nineteen out of seventy only escaping.
OF the ffty-four prisoners, twenty-four were
Immediately hung by order Of the rebel Gen.
Pickett. On the scafold, at Kinston, these
tWenty-four heroes met their fate with true
courage. In the presence of the rebel forces,
