DEAR PAaESTs-I will drop few lines
to le: you know ths: We ara well a. this
date. We started in ou the fifth Of May
last Spring, and done hard f fgd;ipg al the
way down till We got here, AID there has
not been Oue day since tia. We could ros
hear the roa. Of cannon aud the rattle Of
muskstry. This has been hard summer
| on troops, bat the men are ell willing to
! fight and try to get this Rebellion stopped
TIE leaders Of this war (ihe starters o.:
this Rebeliion) deserve bell, if ever soy
body should be put there for punishment
And them Rebels you have at home de-
serve no better place. They sre he.Lds-
serving rascals- We get both the news
papers here in our Company-:he CnRoS-
icLE and the .Argus |, is shame for
the county 0! Uuion TO have q paper ike
:hat Argus. Il tells some Of the blackes.
hes that we're ever printed on paper. 1t
preienas 70 know all about the army sud
tie soldiers, and it knows nothing s., eli,
FOR men are very scarce who would write q
sheet for it to priu. aud publish. l vii
tell you ny opinion about tie army a. tie
nex. ele.tion it will be a, leas. eigh. TO
one if they al vote. There were q grea.
many q. the las. election .ha. did not have
their tax receipts. 1 believe ,ha. the
people at home done their duty in getting
US assessed and seniing receipts. Bu:
some were lost on the way: however, it
will all be righ. till the eighth Of Novan-
bar. Then We will show the Coppe!haais
a; home that they are TIE ones tia, wanted
to deprive the poor soldier Of the privilege
Of voting: aud wha. for? wby, tba; is
easy to tell-bscause be is the one tbs,
knows something abou. Slavery, which
has always threatened the Uaion. Ba.
this var can not be settled any other way
out BY making this q free country. No
more slaves aud slave territory. AL mus:
be Union, snd true Union a, that.
1was glad this morning 60: that let
ter John Bressler wrote st your house.
He said / should be sure and give Abra-
ham vote. will DO that, and will do
oil to have others vote for him-rot be-
cause be j. Rep1blican, ba. because be
is for the Uuion, and better man never
sat in the White House. He is strictly
honest and true-hs has been weighed in !
the balance and not found wanting.
There is something strange about NJ
Clellan. The Rebs sll cheerad when be
was nominated: now they mus. think he
will do something for them, or why would
they rather have him than Old Abe
There is something wrong. II be was a.
true as Father Abraham, it would make
no difference to them which of the two
would be President. But they want 9
cessation Of hos,ili;iss, and be has prom
ised to do shat, and that is almost as good
Is to scknoxledge the Southern CoDfedar-
acJ-a thing that can't never be done at
this time Of day. We have buried too
many good men to give up all low. And
how many more will be laid low in Virgil
mia before this campaign is over? /
l think if the people 10 the North we're
! little more united, it would have some
Effect on tie Rebels down here. They
get our papers, and they see and read Of
party in the North that uphold their doc
'rius and rejoice when We get whipped.
But if We gain . victory they dom: say
uord. All this goes to show tha. they
.ide with the Rebs, aud 10 fact are worse
han the Rebels They are . set Of COW
Ga: VIC try 70 destroy the peace Of this
