words to tho friends of the old 48th
Ohio. The Regiment was transferred
from the Department Of the Tennessee
to that Of the Gulfin August. Since
then we have been up the Teche cOun-
try, until the 7th of December, whom we
left for Texas, where we remained on q
sandy Peninsula for over two months,
when we were ordered to this place with
our division. We arrived here on the
18th last, without the loss of one man
The Regiment numbers 293 enlisted
men present, and II officers.
To-day 23S enlisted men and 1G Of
GERS were mustered in as veterans, "
and as that is over three.feurths Of the
Regiment, we are now entitled to fur
Tough, which we will get as soon as prac.
ticablo, and we all intend coming home
to see what our friends think of US.
Co. sc" has 81 men re-enlisted as
Veterans, and you know most of the
men are from Old Highland, which
should think herself honored by their
re.enlisting. And should there be q
draft in Highland before we get home,

good Regiment and have good time
come to the Veteran 18th Ohio. We
have had good time since we have boeu
in this department, and have always
been healthy. There are now only {
sick in the Regiment, and they are no

US finish up this Rebellion; we will fgh
willingly if you will come and help Us
We have been in 2 years and months
and are willing to see it through.
Our friends must not think becaus,
we did Hot rc-onlist sooner, that we wor,
less patriotic than others. But Just re

our Corps commander, inquiring wheth

that it was impossible to allow any Reg

dropped, but finally we received wer
from Gen. Banks that we would be fur

As tho SDring-tino Of life is Childhood,
So the year should commence with Spring;
With the warblipg of birds in the wildwood,
Like the melodies children sing.
Aud the Summer is emblem Of Youth.time,
With its wealth ofsunsh shine and hope;
Aud the soul natures and comssto its prime,
Like the grain on the golden slope,
with Autumn, ripe Manhood comparoth,
In itsrichness, completeness and peace,
And promise ofchildhood dscIareth,
As Autumn, the yearly increase.
Now the Winter Of Age comes stealing,
As softlyas snow-nakos fall,
Encompassing memory-feeling,
In a calm and silvery pail.
Thus the seasons Of Life are fssting,
In circles Of shsdoviand light
And Age and Childhood still meeting,
Like Winter with Spring In their flight.
