Talks with Southern Women.

From the Fifth Vermont.
NEAR PETERSBURG Va. July 4th,

EDIroR FREEMAN AT this present time,
things are very quiet, and will therefore ut
tempt 10 write a short history OF our pas cat
p ign. We have been ior the past two woois
resting on the lett Of the grand Army of the
Potomac. On the 22d Of June, we marched IT,
wards the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad lC
became dark and being risky blundering along,
not knowing how many obstacles might be
placed in our way OF advance we received or
ders to stop the remaining part OF the night, 1t
already being ii O'Clock, p. M. Soon after
daylight appeared on the morning Of the % !,
the sharpshooters, under the command of Capt.
Beatty, I'd division, advanced and held small
portion Of the railroad destroying the track,
also the telegraph wire as far as possible until
the Gray Backs came down on us about o'clock,
?. NJ, not IN great numbers, but in just tie
right way to gobbe the best share Of the 4th
Vermont, and nearly five companies OF tho llth,
Of the same old brigade, well known as the fight
ing brigade. After holding our line until dark,
We retired to the earthworks, and there fc-
mained quietly until June 29tb when we were
ordered to march The weather being very hot,
we tramped along, with a log Of dust arising
50 that any person could discover the trail OF oar
march for many miles, as we have noI had any
rain since We crossed the James River. We
could but suffer for water. Our right was
thrown out as aankers to protect any surprise
movement from the rear. We marched to the
distance Of about seven miles, after which we
came near Wream station, where our cavalry
was engaged with the enemy, however they soon
gave way when our line uuwayering, boldly
marched 10 the front Our loss was nothing
Our division resting AT and around the station,
we soon commenced our destructive work. The
while some were busy digging up liquors which
we're buried around the buildings. Ii is said
that we destroyed upwards Of flteen miles Of
the road. After completing our work on the
3Oth, we were mustered Tor our next pay, alter
which, we received orders to return to, or near
the place where we started from the 29th. We
marched very slow being the rear guard o. the
brigade, until we came near cur pickets and
then stopped again until the % day Of July, in
quiet place near church, where We enjoyed
ourselves much We then moved back to our
former position, where We received orders from
Capt Hamilton, commanding the regiment, to
pitch our tents in form, and we accord ingly did
so. We remain quietly here at the present
time. The boys have illumined the streets this
evening in remembrance Of independence day
ofl776. Caunonading is to be heard on the right
Of the line, night and day-what we call Ger.
Grants national salutes should judge directly
in front of the Molested city will close this
letter and will write You again. If interesting
