we had the satisfaction of finding them
ready to take home. Mrs. Scribner having
knit them, after knitting nubia which
she had then just commenced. She says
that pair of women's stockings can be
knit in about twenty minutes, aud pair
of mems stockings in less time. She
charges ten cents pair for mems stock
ings and fifteen cents per pair for women's
stockings. The heel and toe are knit by

THE FIFTH REGIMENT.

NEWPORT B'Ks, N. c., Dec. 26th, 1868
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is very seldom that
we of the 9th Regiment have occasion to
retrieve the monotony Of camp life, by
any scouting parties or other duties. that
necessarily causes us to leave our camp
for any length of time, but on the eve
ming of the 23d. we were agreeably sur.
prised by an order to have three day ra-
tions and sixty rounds of cartridges ready,
and that we must be ready to start on
short notice in light marching order.
During the night the order was changed
several times and at last it was for de-
tail of eighty men-the best there was in
camp--which IN fact, took all the we'll
ones. nearly. AT o'clock A. NJ, on the
Oath train of cars arrived and took the
men on board and went to Morehead CITY,
where they found about the same number
Of the l5Sth N. Y, ready, and all went
on board the Gunboat Daylight" AT
ter some delay and the gunboat smashing
off the wheel-house Of another boat, they
got underway went out the harbor, past
Fort Macon. and down the coast thirty
miles or moro to near Swansboro. The
gnnboat could not 60 near the shore on
account Of the depth Of water and the
men had to be landed in small boats tow
ed along for the occasion 1T was near
dark when they all got slowed in the
small boats, ard they rowed until late at
night and at last found themselves stuck
fast in the mud. and what made the mat.
ter worse was, the tide was fast leaving
and there they spent their Uhristmas Eye
The wind swept over the water fpriopsly
and the chilly damp air penetrated, theil
clothing, while an occasional wave would
dash over the sides Of the small boat,
and completely saturate them with thu
briuy liquid, They were tocold to sleep

is by volunteeringi some good regiment,
